For sure... I just checked the 2025 standings on NFL.com and the Steelers are already penciled in at 9-8 with a wildcard berth.

You think F- is bad, just wait until the players drop a G+ or even an H next year....

The AFC could really use some more QB talent as a conference Soon a 5-12 NFC team will be in the playoffs

Scenario: AFC Championship game. Last game ever at the current Highmark Stadium. 4th quarter. Bills led 28-17 but Chiefs just scored to make it 28-24 with 1:57 left. Romo: Ooooooooohhhhhhh Jimmmmmmmmm the Chiefs trying for the 4th and 12 onside kick! Nance: "Mahomes back to throw, rushed to his right by Garrett... and SACKED! SACKED! A couple of kneel downs and the Bills are going to the Super Bowl!" Romo: "ohhhhhhh wait a minute Jimmmmm... there's a flag!" Do we really need the rest? If this rule existed during the NE* dynasty Brady would have 11 Super Bowl rings

Hyperbole But hearing about McVay being "burned out" 2-3 years ago was a joke, at least to me.

Nooooo! Nooooo! Yelled in the bewildered and angry style of Mr. Gower in the alternate reality where George Bailey is asking him whether he knows him after Nick sprays him in the face and tells him to get out of the bar. Obviously he doesn't know George because George doesn't exist, and poor Mr. Gower was never warned by George (who doesn't exist) not to send poison in the medicine bottle when George was a kid... So no. No trade.

We need to draft a gigantic DT this draft. No more excuses!

pay the guys that make plays all the time Love it!

Some day there's going to be this service... where you pay a fee (probably a somewhat hefty one) and in return you get all the streaming services and their channels in one place. And we will have come full circle. Except it will be more expensive.

they want the kickoff to be a competitive play instead of a pointless formality I like it. It penalizes teams for just kicking into the end zone and not allowing special teams players to impact the game

It could just be the problem being a good QB but not being in the AFC

I don't get it... The Rams recently won a SB with Stafford, and this year came close to beating the Eagles in the playoffs in Philly. LA has a 25 year old coach who is supposedly burned out already and wants to retire and go into broadcasting every other offseason, so this is just an odd situation all around.

I'd go 3 years, 40 million, 100% guaranteed. Then draft a RB next year and develop him and let Cook go to free agency after the 3 years. That way you get prime Cook years, he gets good $$, and you don't have a bad contract. A guy making plays all over the field for you and earning $13.3 million is never a problem.

Allen will win 3 Super Bowls here by the time he's done. All 3 he goes to.

They're constantly telling guys to slim down, which is a problem. But then they do sign guys like Phillips, so I don't know what to make of it. Next time I see McDermott in Wegmans I'm going to beg him to draft a massive DT

The truth is he has just as much chance to win here as he would anywhere else. Pegula will spend $, McDermott at least has a stable program, and the team will always be able to attract top free agents and OC's. Where else is he going to go that would improve his chances? wherever he goes that team becomes a contender because of him. But then there's everything else. People mention the Rams. Every year it's "will McVay retire?" there. Does he want to go somewhere that the coach is like 25 years old but already wants to retire because he's already burned out?

and they have to live with that... The 4th Super Bowl should have been a convincing win, not just a win, but they straight up blew it. Aikman was so badly concussed he had no idea what was going on. It was their SB to finally win. After all the heartbreak they had a chance to go up 17-6 at the half. When Odomes got that INT with about 1:00 left before half and the bills up 10-6 that was the opportunity. The Bills got all the way to the Dallas 12 but had to settle for a FG to go up 13-6 at the half and never scored again. Let's say they go up 17-6 at the half. They also got the ball after the half. Go up 24-6 there and guys start to believe. Dallas players in that 4 falls documentary said it: the Bills were outplaying them and Aikman was concussed and out of it. they figured it might finally be the Bills time given the circumstances. Instead, it was 13-6 at half and a few plays into the 3rd quarter Thurman fumbled and it was returned for a TD to tie the game 13-13 and the entire team melted. Hey, at least they had fun at the parties!

My prediction is that if the Bengals don't pay to keep Higgins Burrow is going to go nuclear. It might not be this season, but soon. He's been yapping a lot about contracts all year. He knows how the Bengals like to operate: cheap and irrelevant (yet profitable!) if possible, but if we luck into a QB pay that one guy and hit the bargain bin for the rest of the team, staff, and facilities. Heck, they JUST finally built their first indoor practice facility! I predict Carson Palmer Part Two, except Burrow is a superstar, social media exists now, and players in general are much more powerful in the league. Can you imagine if a guy like Burrow demanded a trade? IMO It's going to get ugly. They already hollowed out the defense. Now they will hollow out the offense and put it all on Burrow and maybe 1-2 other star players. The fact that they made it to the Super Bowl was validation that what they are doing is working, at least to the people running the team. That was also before they had to sell naming rights to pay Burrow and before they started cutting costs elsewhere. If Higgins walks and Burrow has another borderline MVP season while the Bengals miss the playoffs I think you'll see it happen next offseason.

Pay Cook. He's one of our players who shows up and makes plays when the games are biggest (except when he's standing there on the freaking sideline holding his helmet when we need a drive in the AFC Title Game, but I digress...) That's a skill you can't put a price tag on. The guy is excellent at what he does and is one of our few reliable offensive weapons. Remember that Cook took a few seasons to really develop. We don't want to start over right now at RB. This team needs some urgency.

I'm going to be 100%, totally, completely, and (honestly) a little uncomfortably honest with you. Guys like Brady and Manning skewed fans ideas of how long QBs can play. Manning only retired because his neck gave out. Brady only retired because his body started to give out and he barely made it through his last season. The guy looked like he weighed 150 pounds by the end. He knew he was done. But both of those guys were football, football, football almost at all costs. Not everyone is wired that way, nor is it realistic. For every Brady there are going to be a bunch of guys who made bank and want to retire somewhat earlier in order to minimize long term pain and maximize long term health while enjoying time with family. Hard to say where Josh will be on that in the future with a wife and (possibly) a family. That said, I think we have 7 excellent "Josh Allen experience seasons" left, which admittedly isn't a lot of swings at the prize. He'll turn 29 this May. 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 Once he hits his 35 or 36 year old season he'll still be good, but some of the dynamic play we've seen and crazy athleticism just won't be the same. He'll still be great for 3-4 more seasons, IMO, but he'll look different out there than he does now 36 37 38 So that brings us to 10 seasons of top QB level play, with 7 more elite level seasons. All of this is also dependent on how long he wants to play and avoiding major injuries. Josh does have excellent skills as a passer, so he doesn't rely as much on pure athleticism. But there are no guarantees. Cam Newton was an incredible player and almost overnight it was gone due to injury that he just never recovered from. This team has to seize opportunity while it's there.

I'm just looking at a key offensive player who puts up TDs, moves the chains, and is consistently making plays for us. To me that's worth 14 mil a year for a short term deal.

Yup. And anyone who looks down on Levy's 4 straight Super Bowl berths ought to know now how tough even getting to one is

What Cook brings to the table as an offensive weapon is worth 14 mil for 3 years Production for the $

The wind is the worst part of cold weather, so blocking most of it will make such a difference in terms of comfort level Some of those seats tucked up under the canopy are going to be super cozy regardless of weather. You'll be dry and out of the wind

Cowboys are tanking 2025 to draft Manning officially of course they believe in their new HC and are making a push for the SB!
