I hate to say it out loud but the Jets got a lot better tonight.

It feels like it’s playing towards Hall. I was hoping that wouldn’t be the case. But it is what it is.

I really want to like his suit. But it’s like he spent a ton of money to have it customized and forgot to hire a tailor.

OK, who has the strongest (girthiest?) knees in the league?

So, like, does 11 Josh Allen’s play 11 other Josh Allen’s or Aaron Donald’s? Or do they just play the normal Ravens or whatever?

I thought the Bills had a very good chance of playing the season opener. I am glad they are. We don't lose any prep or rest time because of a west coast trip.

EDIT: To no surprise, you are the same person who created a thread that started with the idea that Morse was the most important position on the entire roster to upgrade this year.

I mean the guy looks great in shorts.

Good thought. In Hardy's best year he had 15 sacks and took 86% of defensive snaps. I think you definitely have to manage Miller's age and season. But I think there is something to letting premier players get a feel for the game so they can make huge plays in huge moments. Just being physically better isn't enough to beat the guy in front of you at a clutch moment. A lot of the time you beat a guy because you have been able to go to work on him every down and can pick up what he is doing and exploit them. I think that can be really difficult for some players unless they are a full standard deviation better than the guy lining up across from them. For reference Oliver lead the entire DL at 57% and Oldman- Hughes lead DE's at 51%. Nobody else was over 50%. I think it would be good for Rousseau to get to or 60%. Miller was over 70% in every game except his last in DEN and first in LAR. And he was over 80% in 8 games. Miller doesn't seem to just like to play, he feasts on it. I think on the VERY conservative end Miller gets a governor put on him at 65% of snaps.

I prefer Sunday afternoon. My big guess is that I really think there’s a good chance the league opens up with BUF @ LAR. My preference is to get our furthest game out of the way so we don’t shorten a week of prep with travel to and from

Right?! Honest question for @Buffalo716, what would Brady have to do at this point to be considered the hands down GOAT QB? I think this is the first season where TB takes a major step back. He has always said he will play until he sucks. I think last year, for the first time, his body started to give out in the playoffs and that was why he retired. Then he got a few weeks rest and he was feeling pretty good and felt invincible again. I don't think he will fall off a cliff like Manning. But I think he is really going to struggle to keep it together over 17 weeks and the playoffs.

Longevity, health, and availability are part of being historically great. Other guys either couldn’t or wouldn’t compete well into their 40’s. Whatever the reason is isn’t super relevant. It makes them less than. If their body broke down they either didn’t have the genetics or discipline to take care of their body like TB. If their body could hold up but they wanted to spend time with their family, they just weren’t as willing as TB. It is what it is. Tom Brady is the GOAT and it isn’t close. Tom has so far passed the GOAT QB that the discussion has shifted to “is TB the greatest football player of all time?” Nobody is asking if Rodgers, Manning, or Montana are the greatest NFL player in the history of the sport.

You left out the best part....

Drew Brees had 12 seasons with NO where he played at least 15 regular season games. 6 of those NO was .500 or worse. The guy is a first ballot hall of fame. It isn’t a sure thing to make the playoffs with a top 5 QB, especially when you kick the salary cap can down the road. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t take huge issue with what the Bills are doing with this window. But it shouldn’t be lost on anybody that this is also a risk going forward.

Your original post quite literally says “in order from weakest to strongest”. You even bolded it. You also said CB is “likely NEAR the top”. Taron doesn’t play on the outside. He’s not really involved in the conversation about upgrading the CB role. Taron is starting nickel. So no, you didn’t explicitly say Dane Jackson is better than Mitch Morse. But when you explicitly say that upgrading Morse is THE WORST position on the roster, you don’t need to explicitly say Morse is worse than Jackson, or Neal, or Kumerow, because you’ve stated it’s the worst position on the roster. THE.WORST. Morse isn’t our worst OL let alone the worst position on the entire roster.

Quite literally nobody is confusing your thoughts about upgrading every position with the entire team sucks. Nobody. Every single person here is highly critical of the fact that your front office priority list starts with our offensive center and ends with upgrading WR. The reasoning for each position group really isn’t relevant. Your argument is that Mitch Morse is either the worst starter or the weakest link on the entire roster. And that is not that Dane Jackson is CB1, or that if either Diggs or Davis get hurt the Bills start positioning Goodell to ban the forward pass. Of course if the team grabs a TE, LB, or IOL in the top 100 while addressing CB/WR in FA or via trade nobody is going to get angry. But the entire premise you keep trying to drive home is flawed from the get go.

I have read and reread your post. I just can’t get passed this. The entire post is about accurately ranking our weakest links. By your own premise Dane Jackson/Siran Neal are better than Mitch Morse. Kumerow is the direct back up to Stefon Diggs right now. I can’t imagine a world where drafting a new center is hollistically more important than upgrading Kumerow at X/Z.

Dude, nobody thinks that you are saying the roster is bad. Or the team is terrible. The criticism is purely with your talent e v a l at a holistic level. The fact that you think upgrading Mitch Morse is the number one concern on the roster is absolutely the wildest take of the offseason. As imposter before, if Stef or Gabe go down, their back up is Jake Kumerow. But sure, Mitch Morse is the biggest hole the 2022 Buffalo Bills have…. By your same logic and rankings Dane Jackson and/or Siran Neal > Mitch Morse. It is only April and that might be the worst take of 2022.

You put center at the top of the list when Mitch Morse has been great. His greatest concern is concussion history. Meanwhile our starting CB’s on the outside right now are Dane Jackson and maybe Siran Neal? You might want to take a gander at our WR depth. If Stef or Gabe goes down, next man up is Jake effing Kumerow…. But sure. Draft a back up center at the top of the draft…

$4M is a fair price. I wouldn't have minded if Buffalo considered a similar deal for WR depth (in a world where we have some cap space)

I am fairly certain this is just a photoshop. I think for the eye, without the black the numbers and letters starts to bleed a little bit....unless of course you just copy and paste. Most jerseys have a third color outline around numbers.

I just got up and checked my closet. Both the home and away jerseys have it and it is most definitely black. I assumed it was for TV and/or graphic design to help the red/blue pop and provide a more definitive line/border between the colors. I almost never even notice it.

Restructuring only kicks the can down the road. So sure we can "restructure" Diggs so his cap number isn't $26M in 2024. But that will increase his number is 25 and 26 where his cap number is still $26M plus. Allen is similar and would require an extension to spread the money. Miller is a bit different because we have an out in 2025 with a $7M dead cap hit. But people keep parroting "restructure" like it is some magic bullet that makes the cap go away. Restructuring is how we got under the cap this year. And it is directly responsible for the conversations we are having as to whether or not we keep Poyer or Knox going forward.

Dollars compared to other QB's isn't super comforting to me. I mean, I guess it is to feel like I have value. But his $$$ is still a very significant % of the cap going forward. Next year Allen, Diggs, and Miller together are going to take up just over 1/3 of our total cap space next year and the year after. The Bills pushed all their chips to the middle of the table this year. I am fine with it. But it will cost us in the next 2-3 years no matter what Derek Carr gets paid.

I lived in OKC during the Durant years. Durant didn't change the franchise, he was the franchise. WTF are you talking about? He took a 20 win team to a 50 win team over the course of 2 years.
