  1. Pray for those whose opponents started James Cook in fantasy
  2. I don't know if Shady ever had a game that good for us
  3. We beat the Dolphins by more points but this felt even more dominant. We throttled the most hyped offense in the league
  4. Yarrrr the pirating shall be fierce in this waters
  5. Someone check on Skip Bayless
  6. https://media.tenor.com/ESTkzQQMcTEAAAAM/star-wars.gif
  7. Is so let it never end
  8. I don't even care that he could have gotten more yards batting it down. Dak threw that right to him
  9. Your lips to gods ears
  10. Waddle slow to get up
  11. Hill is out. Come on Jets, don't suck for one day
  12. He's been known to give them a pounding
  13. Living up to the username! FWIW I agree with your general premises on game impact. I was listening to Cover 1, and the Cowboys guest writer was talking about how what has been unlocked since their bye it more deep passes after starting on a WCO to start. Deep passes against a strong secondary with a meh run game tells me the Bills have a chance to limit them. Against the Cowboys, their strength appears to be the D-line and an decent secondary, so the game plan vs the Chiefs and Jets seems like the natural starting point. Lots of Cook and Kincaid plz.
  14. At this point, they are just begging to be pirated
  15. I honestly don't see us giving him another year. Father Time is adding up.
  16. And to your point, unless I am mistaken, they only have one win against a winning team tight now. And that was the Eagles at home after the Eagles did a run of Cowboys (Eagles win), Chiefs, Bills overtime win, San Fran, Cowboys (Cowboys win). Apart from their last win, they have been beating up on bad teams and getting smacked by anyone actually who is now currently in contention for their division in December. Again, they've trounced bad teams. They are legitimately talented this year. But the idea that the NFC is a super gauntlet just doesn't hold up. The opposite in fact: it's extremely top heavy with three teams primed for runs (Eagles, Niners, Cowboys), decent playoff teams (Lions, Seahawks) and a whole lot of mediocrity in between.
  17. Damn it, they couldn't wait another 8 days?
  18. Remember who you're talking to here.
  19. Yarrr avast ye, the greedy louts just be begging for scallywags to make them walk the plank. To the streams of old! Let's be honest, Collingsworth deserves to be pirated
  20. I started listening to the Cover 1 roundup and I have to say that feel more secure that we have a shot. A lot of success this season has been Dak Prescott getting the ball out quick to his host of talented receivers while their run game has been inefficient because of a drop off by Pollard and how efficient the passing game has been. I expect we see a lot of nickel and dime, which is what we are built to do, and in chilly, windy and rainy conditions, on the road, I think the D has a chance to foul up their day.
  21. Legally, we can't. (or at least there are some severe problems with it). Tre can't be cut until he passes a physical. Until then, he can only be released via injury settlement, which doesn't allow him to sign back with the same team until the next year (effectively). So either He passes a physical and is good to go week 1 just for us to force him to sign a new contract that we have very little leverage on He passes a physical week 1 and we just work him in knowing he's not at 100% We place him on IR and pay him anyway to do nothing and hope he can be rotated in at some capacity during the season We work an injury settlement, take $10 million in dead cap and $6 million in savings and make a roster hole that needs to be filled These are not a load of great options. We really don't get much cap space for 2024 by cutting him. More than half his money would be dead cap. Maybe we rip off the band aid, but it's cutting former Pro Bowl player or trading him on the cheap for very little immediate return without much in the pipeline. Maybe that's the best we can get, like I said there aren't really any *great* options but I am not saying he's done yet
  22. Importantly, none of it is guaranteed. His deal with GB was ~$7M per year though backloaded as is common. I think it's quite possible to throw on 2-3 years of an extension at a similar or lesser rate and reset next year to be maybe half of that 9M
  23. Unless I am wrong, the Bills do not get that much cap space for cutting him. From quick math, I think that the gains of even a half season injury settlement would effectively be swallowed by the looming dead cap. So, do we lose a veteran and open a hole for $10 of cap space in 2025? Or do we muddle and use him as depth in a platoon of Douglas, Benford and Elam?
  24. I think there are decent odds that we do that. Because of the trade, Douglas' last year of his contract is entirely non-guaranteed. The Bills have excellent leverage to actually decrease his cap hit next year by signing him to an extension. I don't know if Tre is completely gone, but I think we need to accept that even if he makes it back next year he absolutely not be at 100% speed. Losing him is a real possibility and he'll be an effective #2 at least for another year.
  25. I'm with you on that. Not only has our run game been better but it's more efficient than theirs and just going by the number it appears their D is pass defense focused. While our run D isn't anything to hang our hat on, the trio of CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and Michael Gallup is pretty potent. making it a slog works to our benefit.
