Okay so here's my question - if the Bills run back pretty much the same team as last year as far as overall talent level, how do we beat the Chiefs in the playoffs? Allen played a historically good game and the Chiefs lost 4 points from their kicker and we still lost. How are we closing that gap? Just hope that Mahomes happens to have an off day and Allen performs at that level again? Tre White being back obviously will help a ton but I don't think his presence alone closes that gap. That's why I'm frustrated. If we don't add an impact defensive player I don't see how our team got better.

First, you are putting a lot of stock in one game, we beat the Chiefs in the regular season.  Plus the Chiefs are losing some pieces (safety/probably  McKinnon).  And yes, Mahomes can have an off game - like say what we saw against Cincy or the year before against Tampa.

 

Secondly, you could still beat the Chiefs by playing them at home (vs on the road).   It's looking like the AFC West will be much harder this year and we will be heavy favorites for each of our division games.

 

I'm hoping the Bills will an impact pass rusher also.  But the pool of available players is dwindling.

Sky is falling run

 

Bit of a leap from what I posted, but okay. Obviously, this team's still a beast with our core in place. But when it comes to improving pass rush from the Edge which was looked at as one of our top needs with only 3 DE's under contract and no real game changers, that window is closing and closing fast.

I mean if he said us we'd then be jinxed once again and it wouldn't happen.

 

I don't think it's the team in WNY but I do wonder who it is. He must not have that intel or he would have named the other team(s), IMO.

Rapoport says Vonn Miller is "really torn" and this is not over yet with two teams "tugging at him pretty hard". Rams and ??

 

 


“Chandler Jones money”.  Don’t believe the Bills have that cap space even with restructuring.  8 million over the cap now and have a lot of holes to fill.

I don't think too many people realistically believe the Bills are in on this.

Did you get it?! 

Nope, that guy didn't get it either. Someone else had auto bid over him.  I'll just assume like Mckissinc he's getting rusty old hooks.  🤣  I need more fishing tackle like a hole in the head anyways, but I wanted those jigs

Probably Cowboys...

 

That seems to be the consensus of those here who have chimed in on it. I do remember some of the talking heads mentioning Dallas after Randy Gregory told Jerruh to go pound sand.

It's a vintage tackle box, but it's loaded with glass eye bucktail jigs from like 1960's, and a bunch of other assorted lures.  I can probably sell the box itself for what I'm paying, and snag like 50+ absolutely deadly walleye jigs, and a bunch of other lures for pretty much nothing. The thing is the only guy who's bid has been bidding on like 30 different things all day, so I know he's lurking, too.  Really hoping I can Mckissick his ass at the last second

So question. See what happens when you wait longer than 30 minutes in a 2 month process?  Just checking.

So much to all those that said we don’t do “dumb stuff” like this. What you have to say for yourself. Now let’s work some magic and get a wr on the cheap. Turnaround story for a guy like juju or Julio? 

Juju on a 1 year prove it deal would be great.

The current roster was absolutely good enough to beat them last year.  They whooped them in October and the “roster” had the game won until McD lost the game for them.  The roster was good enough. Coaching wasn’t 

Guess beane read my posts

Without signing McKissic we currently have a little over $8M in cap room. Also the players have to want to come here. Also we aren't in the business of OVERPAYING anymore.

 

So turns out we were able to afford am impact pass rusher. And thank goodness we did. Now we should have the horses to put Mahomes on the ground.

I said be patient because we were two hours into FA, moves would be made, and there is a draft to be had. On that note, F*** YEAH!!!!! :thumbsup:

Von Miller was totally off my radar. I thought the other teams had burned through our pass rush options. After signing Miller and Howard this is by far my favorite FA period in Beane's tenure. I think we have done enough to push us over the top. White will be back and hopefully Rousseau will take a big step in his 2nd year.

I actually thought he had signed elsewhere..

 

I'll happily take him for sure.. big cost but no draft picks required...

Now draft Cb in round one and I think we’re good.

I still think RB is a problem. I respect Singletary but he's not the man.

 

Agreed. McKissic was the cherry on top of all this. I just don't get it.

 

Don't wanna draft an RB early again - save that for CB. Just go get a serviceable veteran pass catcher.

It was confirmed Beane tried to trade for Von before the Rams got him. I assumed that Beane would do his due diligence and go after him for a second time
