Not horrible, but dang does it increase the need for a big space-eating DT / NT type. Bills are just too small up front and adding another hybrid tweener seems to be digging a deeper size hole.

100% agree it was a bad look. I get all the emotion and it sucks what happened. Let the grief in for a couple seconds, maybe shed a tear or two but then muscle up. You’re the QB which means you’re the leader, the game and season aren’t over. They lost that game the second Stroud when to pieces. This isn’t a spinal injury, this isn’t a Hamlin situation, the game wasn’t going to be called off for this and your QB has to be able to fight through it. It’s like a general or a pilot, spending too much time in your feelings will lead to awful outcomes for everyone else’s counting on you.

I tripped over my kids legos and felt a slight pull in my hammy as I steadied myself.

WHY ARE THEY ONLY IN THE GUN????

1 - he’s a good WR for almost $0 as a one year rental so the Bills get a WR better than any they have for a 3rd rounder. 2 - if he signs another decent contract not with the Bills next offseason they’ll get a possible comp pick right? That’s more return than most third rounders are likely to offer.

So far Allen is ahead after 2 weeks.

I doubt those comps will be as high as you think. I base that solely on the BS the NFL pulled last year when the Bills only got a 4th rounder for Edmunds. Supposedly the extra $0 years that teams are adding to contracts to provide cap flexibility has totally undermined the compensation “formula” the NFL uses. Both Davis and Floyd have two such $0 years in their contracts. Also doesn’t signing Samuel cancel out one of this picks?

This plus the dumb unnecessary helmet to helmet shot on Shakir was why Poyer leaving didn’t bother me at all as it was time. He was an amazing player who played his butt off for Buffalo but he’s at the end of the road and the Bills were smart to build for the future.

Guy seems to be headed in the right direction and replacing a quality OT is never easy and Brown is somewhere north of good which is nearly impossible to replace with any ease. Frankly I’m relieved to see they signed him as losing him would blow a huge hole (next year) in a line I think will already struggle this year with Morse gone. Next year I’m betting Connor is back at G and that guy from UGA is the starting center. And that’s a line that can really protect Josh and run it down anyone’s throat.

Bean was listening!!!!

He’s being released by the Fins. Sign him now Bean! And cut all of the other QBs not named Josh.

I think Morse is going to be missed way more than they realized. My hope is they advance the new guy from Georgia they have at center. He looks good.

Love the guy, have his jersey, want to see him play for them again, but if he doesn’t make a DaQuan Jones like recovery and come back in time to help for the playoffs and look great, it’s time to cut him. His cap space could help land some players who could make an impact.

No! Bring back the red helmet!

I wish nothing but the best for White, but a guy at that age with those injuries, it will be a miracle if he has even one full season of great play left in him. Hope I’m wrong, but I look at Von the same way.

Does Justin Simmons just want too much? Seems like instead of signing a bunch of roster fodder that will hopefully never start for the Bills, giving Simmons a 1 year super incentive laden contract would make sense.

Unless he plays great and wants to sign for slightly below market, he’s gone when his contract is done. There are few backs in the NFL worth a second contract and nothing Cook has shown so far makes me think he’s anything all that special. I still think the guy is too soft and too often goes down on first contact.

The team is super cap focused. My bet is unless they see a major hole / problem developing on the roster they didn’t anticipate, they’ll sign the draft class and look to either roll forward any left over for next year or do an extension that again provides relief next year.

This will really stink if they pull the nonsense of making it the Bills “home game” again.

I admittedly haven’t watched all his game film, I read assessments cause I assume professional analysts know this stuff better. From the highlights I saw the guy looked like a thumper who was usually lined up down in the box. Guys can be super athletic / fast and not track balls for crap. I like him as a pick and think he’s good…I just don’t think he’ll be ready to fill the hole at centerfield any time soon.

It seems like the Bills keep getting the same guy at safety. Namely an in the box safety. Cole Bishop is now the 3rd in the box guy they’ve signed up for next year as Rapp and Edwards are also in the box safeties. So who on the roster can play deep center? Poyer was a phenomenal in the box saftey and they’ve replaced him in triplicate, but Hyde was a great center fielder (who had lost a step) and there doesn’t seem to be anyone on the roster who can even come close to filling this void. I realize there are a couple of other guys on the roster like Hamlin but none of these guys have ever put anything on tape that merits consideration as a starter at any position. This all seems particularly troubling in a league where the top teams all have great deep options that will run wild if the Bills don’t have a dependable deep center.

My takeaway from these huge new contracts for WRs is that the positional value has never been higher and therefore the need to use high draft picks on them has never been greater. I think Beane trading for a top WR was always a pipe dream. At best I could see him planing to add a rental star for as cheap as he can comp wise at the trading deadline if plan A to grab a couple of guys in the draft doesn’t work.

If I were Bean I’d be taking a WR in the 1st and either a pass catching RB in the 4th or 5th and a WR in the other round. Right now the team is as good as it finished last year receiver wise, and they really didn’t struggle to score down the stretch.

Dude is SOFT. Despite some drops he’s a good back out of the backfield in the flat and on wheel routes, and he has some speed and shiftiness when running. BUT I don’t know if I saw him get one contested yard the entire year. He does an excellent job of getting what is blocked for him and that’s it literally. It seems like almost every time he’s touched he goes down instantly. They talk about how good back can get 3 yards when there’s 1-2 to get. When there’s 1-2 to get, Cook gets 1. He doesn’t even fall / push forward at the end of runs to get the 1/2-1 yard extra most RBs do. There’s a reason they NEVER used him on short yardage after Brady was the OC. A number 1 RB has to be able to muscle up consistently and Cook just can’t do it.
