I swear if the Bills somehow win a superbowl, I'd come here to see some of these people post, yeah we won a superbowl but it's only 1, I expect more from our gm or he has failed lol.

Says the dude with JP Losman as his profile picture. 😅

 

Beane would get the benefit of the doubt if that happens. He doesn’t now.

We would likely renegotiate his contract and lower the cap hit. 

 

Hey Era,

 

I just don't think he's a good fit for our offense.  Henry is an old school back who needs 20+ carries a game to find his grove.  I don't think Dorsey wants to invest that much of the offense in running plays, and he probably shouldn't as long as we have a healthy Josh.

 

🍻

Listening to Beane's pressor, 2 things seemed likely

 

1. the were never going to re-sign Edmunds.  When they didn't last year (for likely much less than 18 per), that was basically it.  He said the 18 million average was too much this year... 

 

2. McKenzie is gone.

We’ve been to one AFCG in 4 years and got blown out.  So contending for what exactly? 

Where were you in 2012? 2009? Don't play ignorant. This is a much better team with much better leadership. Same mofos that would have sold their kid for a wildcard appearance out here like "we keep making the playoffs, but clearly the team is run by degenerates". Seriously, stop....lol

Henry's current contract has a cap hit of $16mm this year.  I don't see how that works for us.

It wouldn't be quite that bad for the Bills...$11 million.  The Titans eat most of the bonuses.  With a contract extension,  the Bills could cut his cap hit from there considerably. 

 

 I'm not saying the Bills should do it,  but if they wanted,  they could make it work.

And what's wrong with Jp Losman? Yes bad pick but could throw the ball a mile lol.

Zeke seems like the best fit, imo.  Say what you want about him, but he’s a good short yardage back and we have a pass blocking OL. 

 

Only one free agent cowboy every 4 years.

Henry doesn’t need 20 touches a game. He needs to be fed late third quarter and all fourth quarter when the defense is worn down. That’s when his game stats explode. That being said I want nothing of him. Way too expensive

I think it comes out to like around $10M because the signing bonus doesn't transfer over.  And that's before the Bills/Beane do their tricks of 2 year deal w signing bonus stuff.

 

D Henry isn't an ordinary RB.  He is the physical peak RB performer, top 3 in the league, defensive coordinator nightmare.

 

D Henry elevates the offense.  He is a playmaker that needs to be game planned for.

How am I playing ignorant?
So we’re competing against the utter incompetence of Buddy Nix And Doug Whaley?

Look bud, You can be happy wearing your AFCE Championship T Shirt to work on Bills day but I’m not.  

By any measure, we’ve massively underachieved 3 years in a row. This year Beane’s putrid draft record was exposed when nobody he drafted could step up. 
But it sure does feel good to own a bunch of sh!tty teams in the AFCE!

If the interest is real, it is an ass backwards way of thinking with Josh Allen as your QB… Instead of loading up at WR and make the passing game more explosive, you load up at RB?

Fun fact: the Bills averaged 17.7 rushes per game by an RB

They averaged 7.8 from their QB. 

 

Now, you're never gonna get Josh to stop rushing all together, nor should we try.  But 2 fewer rushes per game from Allen and the Bills woulda been at 20 rushes per game by an RB last season.

 

Note: not arguing for or against acquiring King Henry, just providing some rush attempt context.

Latavius Murray? Huge, runs hard, still has speed. 33 years old, but had a great revival year in Denver. He was essentially all they had. Used to being in a job share with guys like Kamara and Dalvin Cook. From all accounts he’s an awesome guy and teammate.

Cheap, solid option.

How many of those were designed runs from Allen?

 

My guess is at least half of those are Josh Allen scrambles forced by his ***** blocking from his line and/or no separation from his receivers.
