That number will dip a bit with resigning some of our own. If all these guys play lights out in their contract year (2020), we could be down to about $60M. Extending a few keys guys a year early could drop us down to $30-40M. Still a ton of coin for FA. We need some help at OLB and Edge Rusher. Probably extend: Forgot they are on rookie deals and cannot be extended yet Robert Foster Levi Wallace Wait and see how the year goes: Kevin Johnson Shaq Lawson Quinton Spain Jordan Phillips Spencer Long (There is a club option for 2020) Possibly extend early: Matt Barkley Tre White Ty Nseke Trent Murphy Jordan Poyer Zay Jones Dion Dawkins Matt Milano John Feliciano

Kneeling during the anthem was never intended to be disrespectful. In fact it was a vet that suggested it to Kaep himself. Do you find Retired Army Green Beret Nate Boyer disrespectful as well? History treated Jesse Owens just fine, and it will do the same to Kaep.

I don’t mind that he retired. I respect it, and even admire it from a 30 year old. But week 3 of preseason as a high level franchise QB....he could have made this decision 6 months ago, or waited 4 months. Some people will lose their job because of this timing. Not totally fair

On a similar note. I looked at getting the Sunday Ticket streaming service. But was declined because of my region, I guess... I just moved to Saratoga Springs, currently cutting the chord. Anybody have options for getting an HD feed for Bills games. I really don't want to watch a crappy grainy feed every week, or drop 50 bucks a Sunday having a few pops and a snack. Cheers.

Every year TC happens, and every year I wish Astro was here. (And every year I forget why he left...??‍♂️)

He also looks great in shorts

What about a 19 game season and you play your division 3 times. Winner of best of 3 from the year prior gets the extra home game.

Yeah that’s what I said...Jesus... Velocity wasn’t measured at the combine until 2008. Even that is testing 20-23 year old kids/young men. Who will inevitably improve in strength and speed over the course of the next 5+ years of their lives. One, because of body maturation. Two, access to, and full time training with NFL coaching staffs. You are assuming that after the combine arm strength/velocity can only go down. They aren’t pitchers and don’t throw nearly the same number of fast balls or torque their elbows as often. Because of that, I would assume an NFL QB could see an increase in velocity until their late 20’s to early 30’s. For all we know Brady’s arm is on the decline, and 5 years ago he was chucking 65mph. Inversely, Josh Allen or Mahomes might be singing it at 70mph in the next 3 years. It is not a widely tracked stat over the course of a QB’s career, and we don’t have a baseline for Brady from day one. It’s a silly speculation because you hate the guy. If JA is throwing at 65mph 15 years from now, I am sure it will be because he’s tough as nails and a leader of men...

I don’t really get the PED stuff when people accuse Brady. He doesn’t run faster. Isn’t increasing aerobically. Not adding mass. Not leaning out. Honestly, football is largely a game of genetic freaks with an emphasis on anaerobic skill. Which is largely born and not “trained” the same way an aerobic base is. Brady isn’t really showing signs of PED other than being better with body maintenance and diet.

Thank you! The anger shouldn't be directed at Kaep necessarily. Why is there so little outrage that white supremacists and nationalists are using the OG American flag to replace the confederate flag. I am not sure I am with Kaep on this one, but this is a valid concern. I just think he is ahead of the curve on this issue actually. As the confederate flag is being phased out amongst the under class (yes, underclass, if you are a racist, you belong there), they have learned to adopt the Betsy Ross flag. While it has yet to catch on (give it 150 years) like the confederate flag, it is happening.

Ok. Well he made less "aggressive" throws with less production than Driskel, Winston, Eli, Darnold, Trubisy, Dak, Flacco, Lamar Jackson, Keenum, Beathard, Foles, Watson, Fitz, Andy Dalton, Baker Mayfield. Deshaun Watson.

With significantly less production

As the OP, I just thought it was an interesting single piece of data, worthy of an offseason talking point. I don't think it paints an entire picture, it is one small part of a much larger puzzle worth discussing. Also didn't mean to make this Allen specific.

I think the takeaway is a little different. He’s only throwing the ball to receivers with less than a yard of separation about 13% of the time. He’s not throwing into tight windows. The context comes in when talking about why his passer rating is so low. Your issue with aggressive is pedantic. You’re missing the point. Albeit, “aggressive coverage” might be a better term.

Hahaha. I totally wasn't meaning to go there. If anything we got about the same Josh based on this stat line.

It is literally in the first line...In a thread with like 2 replies, that answer would have taken about 5 seconds.

Thought this was a cool bit of info. Aggressiveness is measured as a throw with a defender <1 yard away. Interesting Rosen is the highest for "aggressive" throws. Brady and Rogers are pretty low. JA is slightly below average for "aggressive" throws with the worst passer rating.

it is not just his fiscal discipline and at a whim. If he hasn't touched that money, he is making about $2mil per year in interest.... Wowza!

As a young guy in my 30's, can you explain the significance of Mr. Treesweet? Also, why was OJ checking himself into the hospital?

7/12 interceptions were in the division....

Agreed. I think trust goes both ways for a QB. He has to trust his WR. But he also has to trust his own decision making and ability. Unsure JA is just saying he didn’t trust his WR’s here. He may not have trusted himself to either make the throw, or the read. That’s not a knock, if anything I hope that’s what he was saying as well because it would be a pretty honest appraisal of his current skill set.

Dude, what? You asked what what I meant by trending down. I simply responded with, if what CBS, predicts happened the Bills will have lost more games every year for 3 years under the current regime. In most cases that means you are making more wrong decisions than right ones. Again, this is all predicated on an article that has the Bills picking top 5 next year. The point is IF that happens, then the result would be they got worse every year. If that DOES NOT happen, then this whole thing is meaningless, and year 2 just happened to be a down year for the staff.

Happy to. Year 1- Playoffs Year 2- Top 10 pick Year 3- Top 5 pick. thats the wrong direction

As much as I disliked AZ's move from Rosen so early, mostly because I am not as high on Kyler in the NFL as others...what ever that is worth.... If the Bills somehow end up with the 4th pick, and keep moving in the wrong direction, somebody probably loses their job. That also probably means the Allen had a very bad year. I would take a QB there.
