    You got way too much going on here.

    1st, Hyde is under contract next year and even if the Bills cut him, he has a lot of dead money ($7M) due to restructure.

    2nd, Jackson is an RFA and if the Bills want to keep him, they have to put at least a 2nd Round tender.  That's around $4.3M.

    3rd, Poyer may not get a new contract due to the entire teams "positional spending" being too much.

    If J Johnson is kept, he will cost more than his 6th round rookie contract.

     

    But all that is for Beane to decide.  My point is Tre goes back to CB.  If he can't fill that role, then it's about whether or not he

    stays on the team.  If his knee won't let him play CB, there is no guarantee he could play FS.  We will have to wait and see.

     

    Let me just add that Tre has a lot of dead money still on his contract due to restructuring.  It's a "risk lesson" to all of us who 

    think these moves come free.  Just like I pointed out about Hyde.

    This is a well reasoned post.

    Could be the best trade we have made, and one of my favorite all time players.  My dog is named Diggs even.  

     

    But TBH, I hate this narrative of what he did for Josh Allens development as if it implies Josh developed into what he is because of Diggs.  

     

    Allen was already making VAST improvements in short periods of time, going back to before the combine even, and before Diggs got here.  No doubt, Diggs has been invaluable to this team and to Josh, but I think it short changes Josh in how much work he put in to become this great.  His drive to be the best player he can be may be unmatched in the NFL even.    

     

    Diggs or no Diggs, Allen was reaching this level regardless.

    Magnesium oil is transdermal and doesn't go through your GI tract, much better at raising intracellular magnesium levels than taking it orally, similar to spending time in the ocean, which is why so many people seem to have major health benefits when they take vacations to beaches...the oceans have high levels of magnesium salts dissolved in that gets absorbed by the body, which is something most people are highly deficient in.

    It works for me because I take it with my regular supplements as a matter of habit. My level is about 50% of daily requirements and that seems to be a happy medium that prevents cramps but doesn't cause any other problems. I experimented with other products and none seemed to work like this one. To each his own though and you guys who would prefer to rub your legs shouldn't deprive yourselves. -)

    Never tried it, I will, thanks

    Try a product called "Cramp Defense", available on the internet. It has magnesium in it but it also has some other products that "buffer" the magnesium and doesn't mess with your lower tract. I used to wake up with leg and foot cramps all the time but have been taking this product for about two years and haven't once had a cramp and my stomach isn't affected.

    Shout out to the Pegulas.

     

    It pains me to ever compliment billionaires because they are dregs on society but it's certainly refreshing that we have an owner who is willing to allow his General Manager to spend as much as he's possibly able to within the rules without micromanaging.

     

    Bills fans don't mention this enough. Paying players while Ralph Wilson was owner was like pulling teeth.

    Seriously? Think of all the good billionaires have done throughout our history.

    I'm not saying the offense didn't have a hand in it. However, the defense struggled against the run, particularly in key situations, like they did in numerous games.

     

    I look at it this way: The offense had the talent last year to play at an elite level in every game. When they didn't, it was because they didn't execute well, not because they didn't have enough talent. The defense had the talent to play at a high level against weaker teams and those that didn't run the ball well. They struggled against good running teams because they didn't have the talent to raise their game to an elite level.

     

    We can agree to disagree.

     

    If I remember correctly the *Pats gained about 220 yards total in that game.

    I absolutely see your point. I wanted more on the offensive side of the ball (particularly along the Oline) as well. However, I wanted that defensive line fixed even more. One of the Bills' greatest weaknesses last year was their run defense. They needed a drastic overhaul to fix that and improve the pass rush at the same time. Everyone likes to point out the Pittsburgh and Jax games as evidence of offensive failure last year. They lost those games because they didn't play well, not because they needed more talent. I look at the losses to Tennessee, Indianapolis, and the first NE game where they got run over. Not because they didn't play well, but because they needed more talent.

     

    Nearly everyone looks at the total running yards gained in that game. That total is basically all the yards they gained. That loss was on the Bill's offense.

    You’re both conveniently forgetting Quessenberry to champion your cause. All Quess’ has done his entire career is block his guy. 

    I had a friend who would do that too.

    I would never refer to Dabol as a doing anything in a mindless manor, I’m saying Dorsey will be more creative and effective going forward, Kromer and what he brings is part and parcel of the “the offense”, as are all the coaches on the OCs staff,  all the pieces working seamlessly towards the end goal, imo the offense is going to run smoother this year as compared to that past three years, because of these really good minds working together, in a more effective manor, Dabol as good as he was here, (and he was good) had real problems creating options (a functional run game) outside of the pass game, and it did stall the offense several times over the last couple of seasons. Imo, it was McDermott leaning on Dabol that forced him into getting the run game going in the later portion of last season, it had a resoundingly positive effect on the offense as we all saw. The pieces to effect the run game were all present on the team last season, they just weren’t, shall we say, assembled correctly, i will grant you hind site is 20 / 20, as the saying goes, I do think we are for the most part thinking the same thoughts just expressing differently, 👍

     

    Go Bills!!!

    Those manors take on a life of their own sometimes. Be careful, the straw on the floor can be as slippery as a mat.

    The only good thing about The Coach was his constant calling out of Gregg Williams.   "Oh, but Grrrrrrrrrrreegg said the player had to..." 🤣

     

    Also, what is it with Bills fans that everything today has to be some sort of 1:1 with everything in the past?  Let's let today, be today - especially since in Football evolution the 90's style game took place about 178 years ago... :beer:

     

    Had lunch with "The Coach" quite a few years ago. He was a really nice guy that didn't slam anyone while sitting at a private table with 5 other people. When he went on camera he did a 180.

    No reason to compare him to Allen.  He doesn’t think jones will win the mvp, rather is a “dark horse” candidate.
     

    The pats are seen as a 💩 team this year by most (other than Tannenbaum).  If things go right for the Pats and they have success and make the playoffs he thinks Jones will be their driving force and the reason for their success.  We may have dominated him last year, but he was still a good QB.  
     

    Rodgers won the MVP and didn’t win a playoff game.  Jones doesn’t have to win the SB to be a dark horse candidate.  
     

    It’s a hot take in a media world dominated by hot takes 
     

    Isn't the MVP awarded for regular season play only?

    He's a rookie. He may go on one day to be the next Dion Sanders but it wouldn’t be unusual for him to struggle his rookie season.

     

    These things take time.

     

    Patience Bills fans !!!

     

    You mean he won't tackle anyone?

    I want him to be good cause he’s a bill too. It’s one play and we’re engaging in ball busting and sarcasm on a message board. Imagine that

    Be careful about that ball busting. It might deflate the balls to the way Marcia likes them.

    Well it is pretty sad that a first round pick needs to wear oven mitts to keep him from grabbing WRs. Flag or burnt toast isn’t a good look. Hope he improves. 

    That is a fairly standard practice.

    The “somebody told me” thing is silly, but these are still facts - Elam Allen was inconsistent in college with raw, undeveloped technique. Plenty of observers weren’t thrilled with the pick. As expected, he’s struggled early in camp. He is not, and never was, dependable as an immediate starter as a rookie.
