Do we see an end of QB Mega Deals?
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to WhitewalkerInPhilly's topic in The Stadium Wall
I mean, I get that, but in the examples I gave they are contacts given out to veterans. Stafford and Wilson were traded for, and then paid a pile of money. Watson was given 100% guaranteed money. Does this swing the pendulum back to paying a premium to roll the dice on a draft pick? -

Yeah he and Allen are in very team friendly deals -
I’m kind of Over the Hines Experiment
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall
Honestly, I think Hines sticks around. It's not just that he's managed to be solid in the return game, I want to see some more screen game in general. He had a nice long one vs the Pats, and then got a TD vs Miami. I think they are saving him for the playoffs, but at worse he seems like a nice quick out on pass plays. -
I want to start off with this disclaimer: I am very happy with Josh Allen's deal. I think Beane did an excellent job structuring a deal that kept the best quarterback the Bills have had in a generation locked up through his prime, with meat on the bone for cap maneuvers. Since then, however, we keep seeing deals that make Beane's (already praised at the time) work look even savvier. Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen as 5th and 6th on average cap hit per year. In the meanwhile, Green Bay went back to the well on Aaron Rodgers, paying him the most per year out of every QB. Rodgers has looked nowhere near his prime, is considering retirement and now the Pack is in terrible cap shape while veterans are likely to walk. #2 is Russel Wilson, who cost the Broncos multiple 1st round picks to be a laughingstock. #3 is Kyler Murray, who just got college head coach was just fired. He is locked in for at least two more years (after which it's only a $33 million cap hit), while he is coming off of an ACL injury...where is greatest strength has been running and throwing on the run. #4 is Watson, who shouldn't have been back in the league. His money is fully guaranteed, and is going to be a $55 million hit every year for the next four years. As we saw with the Browns, they have a looooot of problems and Watson returning was not a magic pill. Only one player is going to be 20% of their cap. And that's not even counting Matt Stafford. The Rams pushed all of their chips to the pile last year and I'd be lying if I said I thought their devil's bargain wasn't worth it, but they are going to be paying a butcher's bill for the next few seasons. I understand that the QB position's importance. I understand that starting quality QB play is going to be overpaid but these four QBs are now liabilities for their teams, and in some cases the damage is going to take years to unravel. This was not "Let me overpay for Brock Osweiler they can be good enough" thinking, these players were supposed to transform the franchise. Does this change how teams think of contracts? I don't know. But it's interesting to think about.

I still don't get how we keep playing really good AFC teams on the road. I'm trying to recall, we have played the Chiefs 5 times in the last three years and only one home game?

Thoughts on the pass defense?
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to Bermuda Triangle's topic in The Stadium Wall
As much as we love to complain about the defense, the Bills are #2 in the NFL in points allowed after the Niners. Every one of our losses has been a single score game so it's not as if the offense hasn't had its chances. Our scheme is purposefully built to force teams to beat us underneath. This does result in a lot of annoying 3rd and 4th down conversions. But that was the same last year too and the year before that. I think the issue is that the offense hasn't been as hot so you're not seeing the Bills clip teams wings early. -
I'll put it this way: I am not spending even that kind of money for a single game when I am (and this is important) I will be busy and not able to watch until I get home and turn on my TV. I spend plenty of money to get streaming on every other network that plays football just because CBS wanted to be annoying

I do love Davis, but I do think he's best as WR #4. He has struggled as a #2

The return of the deep ball!!!!
WhitewalkerInPhilly replied to Special K's topic in The Stadium Wall
The routes have been there. I can recall multiple weeks where the receiver had the man beat and the throw was just a bit off. Josh finally looks back to 100% -
Do the Kansas City Chiefs deserve a bye week ?
