It honestly wouldn't surprise me to see either Barkley or EMC in a Bills uniform next season. Given our connection to both teams/front offices, the trade lines here are there for something to happen. I think both guys could benefit from a change of scenery and better training facilities. In terms of health issues, EMC is more concerning. I would be less concerned about Barkley health issues, as EMC seems to have a lot of soft tissue issues which can be more chronic. Barkley were a couple bad breaks more than something that seems chronic. But I think either of these guys are potential candidates to land here in trade in this offseason. Not saying its a sure thing, but I think its possible Beane at least checks in on both these guys availability.

Agreed. SB appearances are team accomplishments, only stupid media pundits like to give all the credit or blame to a QB. Burrow is a nice up and coming QB, so not trying to take anything away from him. But he is without a doubt the worst of these big 4 QB's of Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, and Burrow. And there is still Lamar to enter into this conversation of best QB's in the AFCE. Time will tell if he leap frogs anyone, but right now the other 3 are all better, and Mahomes and Allen are significantly better. Burrow throws a lot of prayer balls that his receivers bail him out on. Nothing wrong with that, but he isn't carving up defenses the way Mahomes and Allen can...at least not yet. PS: There is another AFC QB that is also better than Burrow...and his name is Watson. So not only is Burrow NOT the best QB in the AFC, he may not even be in the top 5 when you add in Watson and Lamar too. Personally I would rank them: 1 Allen - no issue with Mahomes being 1 and Allen 2, but I think Allen can do everything Mahomes can and a little more 2 Mahomes - See note above 3 Watson - Easily #3 IMHO outside of the off field stuff, and he will be back on the field I expect this year for someone 4 Herbert - I think he is firmly entrenched himself ahead of the guys below him. 5 Lamar - I cant put Burrow ahead of Lamar yet given how much Lamar has produced with pretty weak supporting cast around him. Admittedly I would probably draft Burrow ahead of Lamar just because I am not sold on the sustainability of Lamars style of play. 6 Burrow - Up and coming for sure, but he hasn't become better than the 5 guys ahead of him...yet. He could leap frog some of them as time goes on though.

I think so. Is Davis really inconsistent though or just a guy who had been stuck with a reduced role until Sanders got hurt? I think Davis proved he needs to be a major part of this offense during the final stretch and playoffs. And with a new OC, new OL coach, etc...I would think keeping as much continuity around Josh as possible will be a priority. Allen and Davis have a lot of chemistry, and he is home grown and entering his 3rd year. And lets be real, what has Kirk done to even indicate he would be a better #2 than Davis? I mean, its not like Kirk would come in here as a #2 and grossly out produce what Davis could do as a #2. I would argue Davis likely would have the better season here as a #2 than Kirk would give his chemistry to Allen and knowing the offense. So why would Beane spend a lot more money on Kirk to be the #2 over Davis on a 4th round rookie deal? Still baffles me how concerned people are about our offense...the same offense that passed for 9 TD's in 2 games in the playoffs.

While this list is obviously one that any of these players would consider, you have them out of order and left out that the Bills do NOT check the 2 most important boxes of them all. Money and Role. 0% chance we are the highest bidder. 0% chance we offer him the biggest role. Coming off 77 rec and near 1000 yards, he knows this is his shot at taking on a bigger role and setting himself up for a bigger contract 2 to 3 years down the road. He wont ever get that big contract just going somewhere as a role player again. Coming here he knows he is behind Diggs and Davis, and unless traded, there is still Cole too. Then Knox and the RB's take targets as well, plus the run game and Allens legs. If he signs here, he knows he probably ends up in the 500-700 yard range like hes been in most his career in AZ unless injuries happen. Cant see a 25 year old WR who has yet to make much money in the NFL give up playing time and money (both now and later) to come here. Bills are not the only good team in the NFL, he will have interest from teams who can offer him at least a bigger role, if not both more money and a bigger role. So to me, I like Kirk and would be great to see him here, but its a pipe dream. Makes no sense for him, and I assure you his agent is going to be trying to get him somewhere he can walk into a starting situation. We wont be signing an in demand WR in FA...it will be a lesser signing or we will draft one, just from a cap perspective.

I find it hard to believe Kirk will want to come to Buffalo. One, it would have to likely be for less money than he would get elsewhere. Two, he is going to want a bigger role where he can start as at least a #2 WR. Coming here, he would be 3 on the WR depth chart and would be a role player rather than a major contributor. Who ever fills that WR 3 spot, assuming everyone stays healthy, they are likely going to be a 400-700 yard receiver at most. Too many mouths to feed here between Diggs, Davis, Knox, RB's and Allens legs. So, not a knock on Buffalo as a destination, its about opportunity and he won't get a lot of those here compared to going to a team where he can step in as one of the main targets right away and likely for more money too. So I just don't see Kirk as a realistic option for us because we as a team do not make a lot of sense for him. He is young enough that he doesn't have to ring chase, and he is going to want an opportunity to prove himself and earn an even bigger payday on his next contract. He will have plenty of suitors too.

But they don’t have to even make that decision this year. DK makes peanuts next season, they are under no cap pressure to get rid of him and yet he’s easily one of their 3 best players. Trading DK makes no sense what so ever unless they are giving up on the season for a full rebuild and trading Russ. There is just no way they keep Russ and then trade DK. Russ isn’t staying in Seattle to start a rebuild by trading off young cheap talent that are vital to his own performance. If Seattle sticks with Wilson, which all indications thus far is they are, it’s to be competitive and try and retool. Seattle is not that far behind in that division. If they can improve the OL and get some defensive upgrades this off-season, then with a healthy Russ they can challenge again for the divisional title.

I’m confused. Why are the Seahawks trading DK Metcalf? I mean he is still on a rookie deal, is a stud for them, and they need more playmakers not less for Russ. So if Russ is staying in Seattle, why would Seattle trade one of their 3 best players who still has another year on his rookie deal and isn’t a cap issue right now? Cant see them moving him unless they trade Russ and go all in on a rebuild.

No way we can pull this off. Only reason Bears did was because they had Trubisky for a while on a rookie deal. They made that trade hoping Trubisky would pan out too. Bills already paid Allen, they can’t afford to part with a bounty of picks too get one guy, especially one coming off a major season ending injury like his that can take a full season of playing before you really know what kind of player they are after the injury. And like I’ve had said in other threads, we were 5th in the NFL in QB pressure and 10th in sacks while not blitzing a lot. We are no where near as bad as people think in our pass rush and also have 3 picks the last 2 drafts in first 2 rounds to get on the field more as it is. We won’t likely be making any kind of crazy big trade like this for any DE, nor do we need to. CB, DT, and OL are more critical off-season needs.

This thread didn't go the way you thought it would now did it? 😂

Does he ever make a point? 😂

No

You must be fun at parties. Legit question: How many years did you study and go to school to get your PhD degree in “Perennial Loathing? Lol

Dawson sent a follow up text asking about you though 🤯😂

We are in Maui and just got home from the bar and I literally almost choked on Cheez-It’s when I read this and started laughing out loud. My favorite post of the post season hahaha. 👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆

Thats awesome! hahaha HA thanks and agreed

Thanks and you will! After she surprised me with tickets for the home opener and my first home Bills game ever, she fell in love with Buffalo, Bills fans, people of Buffalo, Bills Mafia, etc and now wants to make it an annual family trip even though she is a hardcore Niners fan which play 5 hours away from us. She wants us to do the Bills home opener as an annual trip still! Love this woman!

What? Chargers were a train wreck, only beat 2 bad teams and were on a 3 game losing streak. They were a joke when we played them. Check your history bud

😂She actually was on there to get Josh Allen, but he’s not on cameo. She did get me a framed signed Allen jersey for Xmas though

No sister, but her mothers amazing haha, she’s happily remarried though haha

Hahaha this was pretty funny and amazing surprise this morning from my Fiancé. She got me a personal shoutout from Dawson Knox via Cameo! He killed it too! Haha this woman gets me and my Bills obsession…glad I put a ring on it, cuz I’m keeping her for sure ha! https://www.cameo.com/recipient/Crep5PJc5

Lets not forget, we probably are a 10 win team that year had they not gambled on Nathan Pickerman in LA against the Chargers. The Chargers had not been good that point in the year and Tyrod easily moved the ball on them in the 2nd half once NP was finally yanked. We almost certainly win that game and go 10-6 and earn our spot in the playoffs on our own if they had not tried to give the kid a shot. And cant blame them for trying, Tyrod was safe, but not the guy who can maximize opportunities on the field. They wanted to see if NP could provide some spark, it failed, they moved on and still made the playoffs. Not to mention, Bills also traded away a lot players seen as important ones that year before and during the season like Watkins, Darby, and Dareus too. So this wasn't the same team that Tyrod won 8 and 7 games with previously either. McD is a very good HC, and when he wins the SB, he will be seen as elite. And he will win the SB, here in Buffalo, and probably next year IMHO.

HA thats freaking amazing!

Haha no problem bud. Missy Elliot is great live too, seen her come out as a surprise guest at some shows and kill it. She definitely was one of the most important female artists and overall artists in hip hop history.

Ive seen Dre live multiple times in the past 5 years. Hes performed with Ice Cube at Coachella, Eminem at Coachella, as well as some other guest appearances. He doesn't perform a ton, but he pops up here and there in some big shows. I think my favorite was when he came out with Ice Cube (who was headlining), Mc Ren, and Easy E son to reunite as NWA and honor Eazy E as well at Coachella.

Why? Because you feel that way? I mean based on what you said, I actually hate country music, so thats already a flawed statement you just made. In fact, I love all kinds of music except Country which I cant stand. That was literally going to go down as probably the greatest halftime show so far in history. Its fine to now be into that type of music, but that was an iconic showing by some of the biggest Icons in not only hip hop history, but music history. You wont likely ever see a collection of this many iconic people on a SB halftime stage. I mean even Eminems band had Anderson Paak on the drums and the Roots. It was crazy. No one type of music, no artist, etc is ever going to make everyone happy. Dont see the need to hate on it because you don't like hip hop or R&B. Your personal taste about the genre of music is no where close a reflection of the quality of the show for those who do appreciate those artists or genre. Missy Elliot was not part of the LA Hip Hop culture, thats why. She has performed with some of them before in other shows. But she wasn't part of the iconic LA Hip Hop scene or linked to Dre. The rest were, which is why they were part of the show.
