Rock'em Sock'em

a.k.a. "a business". It's true for both the players and owners. If more games means more revenue, it also means higher player salaries (or perhaps more players, or both), and also more game-time fun for fans. The obvious downside is diluting the meaning of a single victory, and by extension diluting the importance of each play.

They could fairly easily do this. 16 games... 6 in London, 6 in Mexico City, 2 in South America, 1 in Hawaii, 1 in Asia.

The OL was not good last year, but there is these stats that's are hard to explain away, except McCoy's product fell off. Murphy: 60/291 4.9 YPA McCoy: 161/514, 3.2 YPA With KC, McCoy averaged 4.6, which is decent and above Williams' 4.5. But I think McCoy's two fumbles mid-season dropped him down. Darwin Thompson plays ST.

Ruggs. 4.2-4.3 speed. High character guy. Someone to keep an eye on at the combine. I am hoping they go for a high octane offense.

Lamar and Greg Roman was an awesome pairing this season. They certainly brought the best out of each other and Lamar should be league MVP - not so much because he can hit targets in a skills competition, but because the defenders rarely can hit him. A Lamar/Roman offense would have been fun here, but we already had a less good version of that offense a few years back. I'm happy watching the Bills develop a top-flight quarterback of their own. There was a picture of the Bills draft board floating around in 2018 and "Wyoming" was their #1. If there was to be a re-draft today, I think the Bills would still have Allen at #1, and if so, I can't blame them.

In 2018, Cleveland ate Osweiler's guarantees for a 2nd round pick from Houston - and trading cap space for draft picks is not a far jump from that scenario. Trading cap for straight up cash may be against the CBA. The CBA and salary cap have minimum spend provisions. And those provisions are meant to make the league competitive. Trading cap space for dollars would work against that goal. So long as the minimum spend provisions are met (without regard to sold cap space), I guess it could work. I would not see this as an oft-used tool. Among other things, it's a bad look for a team.

SF traded a 2nd rounder (IIRC) for Sanders and drafted another in the 2nd round in 2019. SF has a pro-bowl TE. SF has three good RBs that can all start. SF is good in the trenches. KC has three RBs that can all start. KC has a pro-bowl TE. KC has several playmakers at WR. KC is good in the trenches. The formula is clear. It's nothing new. Good coaching and a decent QB are table stakes. After that, it takes a solid team, that is good in the trenches, that has enough playmakers, and that has solid depth. Dear Bills, Go Get `Em!

Disagree, a bit. 1. Calling more passes and fewer runs has likely accelerated Josh's development as a passer. 2. Often plays were there, but the execution was not.

Of all the possible available FA's, he's your guy? Tennessee seemed to get much better when he was benched. And he wouldn't even start here. Wouldn't you rather have Clowney or Yannick?

Henry will be franchise tagged, if I had to guess.

This happened at times, but also I saw us blocking 8 rushers with 7 lineman where nobody could beat single coverage or make a contested catch for a long gain. I think having someone like AJ Green on the field stops teams from playing cover zero on critical 3rd downs.

Nearly a perfect pass. Good coverage. He probably makes this catch more than half the time.

Part of the way the Pats*** manage comp picks. They sometimes trade for players rather than sign FAs who would count against the comp pick formula. Max one 3rd rounder, if he signs elsewhere. The number of picks is based on player count, not the whininess of the player.

After a complete rebuild, the Bills took a step this year. They have capital to get better players. Let's see if they can take another step next year and make something happen. Difficult schedule next year aside, the next step is to win the division and a playoff game. And the division appears to be open.

I don't think there is a rule about the arms spread meaning give up, but in this case it was pretty clear he was giving himself up when he tossed the ball to the referee. That being said, if he quickly picks up the ball and returns it 100 yards for a touchdown of his own, do the refs huddle up and rule that he gave himself up? Probably not.

Henry will be in demand. The franchise tag for RBs is about $12M, and IMO that's the most likely path for him.

Hmmm... my two favorite teams are now out of the playoffs - the Bills and whomever is playing the Pats***. I'm rooting for the Eagles.

Giving the Bills a touchdown on the opening 2nd half kickoff was probably the worst call I've seen. Not glad, but glad they got that right in the end.

Order of importance: Allen continues to improve Add multiple play makers on offense such as Henry and Green. A RB that demands extra attention and a WR that can beat cover 0. Add a pressure machine on defense such as Ngakoue. Add a CB in the first round and a WR in the second round of the draft. Have Knox and Singletary work on hands all off-season. Singletary with six catches today! Great to see. I don't know how much of our $100M cap space that we will willing to push in, but do those things and this team will be noticeably better next year.

I love the McCoy TD in the 2017 Colts game. Alternatively this play that came about an hour before the Bills clinched a playoff spot.

Overall it was a decent developmental year for Knox, whose play contributed to both wins and losses. He needs to hit the jugs machine in the off-season. Catching a few hundred balls per day should address the issue. He still has the potential to be a top TE in the game.

Interesting take and partially true, but they did not actually "make" 15 picks. In terms of whether they should have traded up... Allen - Solid enough pick. But could have also waited and hoped Allen fell, or else selected Jackson. Or they could have selected Watson or Mahommes in 2017. There were lots of good options for QBs in 2017 and 2018, and they landed one of them. Edmunds - Solid enough pick. But they could have waited and selected Edmunds later if he fell, or else Darius Leonard. Ford - Solid trade up, no great alternatives. Knox - Solid trade up, no great alternatives.

He contributes mostly on punt returns (top 10) and as WR depth. But he is also 4th in the league in kick return average. He should definitely be active.
