If he goes to the Bears it goes back to Ryan. Edited March 24, 2022 by YoloinOhio 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of the guys on the team decided he looked more like a Rick...so the nickname stuck...👍 Edited March 24, 2022 by JaCrispy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Just now, ScottLaw said: It was sarcasm John… and they haven’t got anything done yet. To think that lamenting every move simply because they have not won a super bowl is folly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are the best team in the AFC, but have some glaring holes at the moment that need to be addressed. I dont necessarily think they were wrong. They were 13 seconds away from the AFC Championship.....everyone wants to talk about that 13 seconds but the fact is EVERYTHING had to go right for the Chiefs to escape that game.

John from Riverside Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 5 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Huh? Chiefs were winning for most of the game and out playing/out coaching them as well….I’m not even talking about the 13 seconds. The Bills were lucky to be ahead at that point as I thought they were outplayed throughout most of it as Chiefs were clearly the more talented team. You just cant help yourself The Cheifs were NOT winning for most of the game When Josh Allen left the field we were winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 36 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: They out-gained us in every statistical category… even without the overtime…. They were up 9 at one point… regardless, I am not trying to hijack the thread…. Let’s hope they do a lot more to upgrade the offensive line because as it stands now it’s a gigantic work in progress.👍🏻 Perhaps because they had the ball in OT & we did not. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 2 hours ago, The Jokeman said: Do we know for how much? No dollars released as far as I could find. 5 days to match. Beane has spent most of his money already so he can take the full 5 days to decide what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomark Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) It is on Thursday’s NFL transaction list that Bates signed the Bears offer sheet. So the ball is our court to match or punt. I expect a match with a 2 year deal unless the Beats offer is silly and front loaded. Edited March 25, 2022 by Locomark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) If it's that important to them, maybe we should just let them have it. They need it more than we do and we hardly play with that toy anymore 😛 Edited March 25, 2022 by BillsFanForever19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes, this is the one Bills Free Agent that I will be truly disappointed that we did not bring back. It just does not jive with the "protect Josh" mantra of Beane at the end of the season. .... I guess they know more than I do, but I not seeing the plan here ???? Edited March 25, 2022 by CSBill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team like the Bears, miles away from anything can afford to take that risk more than a team like the Bills loading up for a run where every penny counts. I am a bit disappointed with what they have done at guard in FA though. Got to believe we will see an interior OL in the meat and potatoes rounds of this draft (2 through 4). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
