Im always amazed at how many young guys started for KC after they re-hauled their secondary a few years ago and other positions on D. None of that weak Buffalo sauce about well he's a young guy and still learning, he'll get better hopefully. No, these get went out and performed.

Hard no to Bosa.

Well different opinions are what message boards are all about. My thinking is if we have a different coach, Josh doesnt turn into JP Losman. so I dont see an unraveling. The drought years were all about garbage at the most important position, QB. No coach was going to win consistently with Trent Edwards, Rob Johnson, JP Losman, EJ Manuel, etc. I think one of the best analogies is the Warriors in basketball. They were bad for long time, got Mark Jackson as coach, he turned them around, got them in the playoffs. They did realize he wasn't the guy who would get them to their ultimate goal, canned Jackson and hired Kerr and results were multiple championships. When I watch Josh, Im not risk adverse to a coaching change. I know Im watching a SB caliber QB. When I watch Andy Reid/Spags vs our coaches, I see a mismatch.

I've actually thought about that also. Born and raised in WNY. I think it also goes into the current debate with the inferiority complex. Just be happy with the playoffs, be happy we don't suck, this is the best Buffalo can do, this is our ceiling, championships are for other cities. If you bring up maybe a new coach, it goes to negative/inferiority--we will return to the drought years, its never optimism and maybe we could get better. Never a thought that Buffalo would actually be an attractive landing spot for a good coach---we have a franchise QB.

If it ever comes to that, I would wish Sean well in his next opportunity.

I think you need to read the first sentence from google again under negotiation details.

From Google: Negotiation details The Sabres were willing to keep Hasek for any price for the rest of his career. Hasek wanted a fresh start with another team and a chance to win a Stanley Cup. The Red Wings agreed to pay Hasek $8 million for the next season, with two option years at $8 million each. The Sabres traded Hasek to Detroit for forward Slava Kozlov and a 2002 first-round pick.

I laugh my butt off at people thinking this is some improbability. Remember all the cups Hasek won in Buffalo, yeah me neither. After a while it isnt going to be about the money but about winning a SB.

As someone who did see it, it's OJ and people are right its not even close. He averaged 143.1 yards a game. Jim Brown is 2nd at 133.1 per game. OJ averaged 10 yards more than 2nd place. 2nd place down through 13th place are separated by less than 8 yards. I almost roll my eyes when someone now is a 1,000 yard receiver or rusher, in 17 games its not the milestone it was in a 14 game season.

I appreciate what Frank Reich did for the Bills, but what he said during the four falls of Buffalo 30 for 30 was one of the most moronic things ever heard. When he said its easy to say you should of throw a left or whatever instead of going with what brought your there--meaning the no huddle, pass happy offense. Against the Giants, the other team is playing 2 DL, you give Thurman the ball and let him carve them up until they come out of it. Its called reading a defense Frank. Thurman averaged what, 9 yards a carry, just moronic they didnt give him the ball more against that front. Oldnmbillsfan is also right, Kelly saved his worst for the 4 superbowls.

The bottom line...Cook can ask for what he wants....doesn't mean he is going to get it. Nobody is going to pay him more than a guy who just put up 2000 yards. Last I looked Barkley was at about 12.5M. Cook isnt going to get more than Saquon. Im not losing my mind because he posted some unrealistic number.

We're trying to time it out when Mcd passes Marvin Lewis for most games coaching a team without a superbowl appearance.

i think that's because McD has still fallen 2 steps short of the goal a superbowl win. Offenses get progressively better the further you advance in the playoffs. First round you're playing a WC team, probably a little better than .500, then most likely a division winner, then probably the no.1 seed then you have to beat the other conference champion. The defense has never been at the level it needs to be. Even more reason to address the defense that falls short.

Well again, what I don't get is after we scored the most points in the league, thinking we need more O. The talent in this draft is DL, go get it and a corner or two.

I think this notion of creating some unstoppable offense instead of having a good defense is insane. Ive seen our Kelly no huddle offense get stopped in 4 superbowls. I've seen the greatest show on turf get upended by Brady's Patriots. The Giants stopping the Randy Moss era big offense Patriots. Ravens winning bowls with Trent Dilfer and Joe Flacco. I dont know how much better Josh can play in the playoffs with 33 tds(pass/rush/rec) vs 4 ints and you still cant get to the bowl and not realize it's on the defense and it has to be fixed. Getting a defense to say hold the other team in playoff games to a low 20s should be the plan, not having Josh have to perfect, because he's been about that.

I was responding to Dawson Knox's contract and dead money hit.

Well since I have Cook under contract for this year, next year i would trade him(Knox) for anything I could get, including a 7th.

Amen, Dawson Knox last year 22 catches 311 yards 1 TD. In 2023 22 catches 186 yards 2 tds. Next years cap hit 14.6 million. Anyone want to compare where he stands in TE production vs where he stands in TE pay? Yet another example where Beane crapped the bed with a signing. I would trade him for a pick and get that base at least off the books and use that on Cook.

I dont want to see this offense without Cook and Shakir. Cook gets yards in chunks and Shakir is great after the catch. Both are slippery, eel type runners. Don't want to go back to the days of no speed guys Moss and Singletary types and catch and fall type receiver.

He sure as hell deserves more than Dawson Knox when you look at production.

My favorite from the ball washer, it wasn't points in garbage time, its was Patrick battling until the end.

Where is the love for a WNY guy from Jamestown?

Vic Fangio--coaching made a tremendous difference in just one year also.

Im going DE, DT and CB with the first 3 picks. Most likely a S after that. Would probably go WR with the 2nd 4th.

Some of these sites will get better at the rankings after the combine and more users do mock drafts.
