Makes very little difference. Some teams that get late byes are already all but eliminated, so the bye does them no good at all.

No reason they can’t beat the Steelers and Dolphins. That’s actually a pretty easy opening stretch.

I expect the wheels will have come off the Steelers by then…

The Giants are in a very tough division…their schedule was never going to be easy.

How can you say Cleveland is screwing up? They finished with the second worst record in the league, then fleeced the Jags out of next years first round pick. They are well-positioned to grab a QB in next year’s draft. And it’s not at all clear to me that they are trying to win games in 2025.

Winston delivers street free agent-level quarterbacking at this point in his career. Cousins is older and banged up and should not be starting anywhere. Ousins is a better option than Winston, though.

The point is, he’s often hurt. Being undersized is likely one reason for that. He’s not built like an NFL TE.

It would be great. Bengals always start slow…plus they have a new coordinator, crappy o-line, lotta new players on defense. Best time to play them.

Have to. Teams with HOF quarterbacks in their prime do not have rebuilding years. It’s just not acceptable.

The problem is that the AFC is just so loaded…the four best QBs in the league (all future HOFers) and a few HOF coaches. Home field really is huge and luck plays a big part. Things have to break just right. One thing in the Bills’ favor is that the AFCE is weak, which should make it feasible to get the top seed. Baltimore has a tougher road…KC probably does too.

This is the only answer…

Perhaps DK should get to know two new Bills—Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoecht…

If we’re only talking about 1 season, I would probably take Cooper. People forget that he made a lot of big plays last year…two long receptions on third down vs the Chiefs in the regular season, a big touchdown on a slant over the middle in his first game, and a tremendous touchdown catch in the home game vs the Jets when that game was still in doubt. And of course the famous give-and-go with Josh Allen vs SF in the snow. Cooper’s contribution to that play is underrated; he made a fantastic one-handed catch on a bad throw from Josh, then had the instinct to pitch it back to Josh when most players probably would have just eaten it… I’m a little surprised the Bills didn’t bring Cooper back; they either didn’t like his attitude (unlikely) or he just doesn’t want to play anymore.

Would you rather have Amari Cooper, if he could be had for the same price as Moore? I’m not sure which one I’d rather have.

There is a chance that Moore will get a shot at the punt return job…he did it in college and has returned some punts in the NFL. I think the Bills would love to not have to roster Coddrington, who has no other position.
