The Jokeman

Pickens was a trade.

Leave them baby birds alone.

none of which were traded yesterday.

I'll admit I was resistant to re-sign him but that was with the talk he wanted $15 million per season. Then the whole hold in thing kind of made me more angry. Though glad our GM and his agent met to a fair deal and let us keep one of the best RBs in the league.

That might not be on your roster after this season. Not sure as quite a few posters, including me, might be upset if we didn't have Walker or Hawes this season.

Come on now McKellar wasn't a guy that could put up 100 yards receiving. He was more of a redzone TD magnet. Shakir is reminiscent of Reed in both play from the slot. Yet Shakir is more jittery. The difference is the current Bills can score in long sustaining drives. See that 8 minute masterpiece we saw against the Chiefs to open the game. Had Kelly and co done that more we could have easily beat the Giants in Super Bowl XXV.

We're tied for the 3rd best record in the league, have the 3rd best PPG offense, 1st in rushing yards, 9th best defense in PPG and 2nd best passing defense in the league, tied for 6th in sacks. Yes we don't pass the eye test always when we pass or at time give up long runs but we're a top 4 team in this league on any given Sunday. What more can we really expect?

Not for significant add ons, am sorry that pass rusher they added has 4.5 sacks this season which close to his career high.

The Colts aren't paying for a franchise QB either. Noticed KC, Buffalo, Cincy, Baltimore etc aren't making trades. The only team that did was Dallas but then again it's Dallas.

Deebo's averaging 8.7 yards a catch this season. Those are horrible numbers.

Hunter in 3 weeks but BTJ is hurt, do we want to make another Cooper type trade? Granted think Cooper got hurt after getting here but still...

If we need boundary with speed I'll keep pounding the table for Tre Tucker.

Naheem Hines disagrees with you.

What happens to KC if Chris Jones goes down or Pittsburgh loses TJ Watt or Denver loses Nik Bonitto?

We talked about him in draft thread as a guy that slid. That said his stats this year aren't great except his TD%.

Keon caught his 2 targets and one of which lead to a first down. The other made it 3rd and 3 oh also caused a pass interference that lead to a first down. I guess you're lamenting he didn't get stats like Worthy or JuJu or Thornton had for KC?

Considering the trade deadline before the game not sure how'd this ever occur.

3rd best outside CB we have. That said expect Hairston to see more time as season wears on. Mask things, think if he only ran routes we'd be tipping off plays.

To the Jets be more fitting.

Chubb or Hendrickson feel like obvious choice but could see Fitzpatrick or hell Jalen Ramsey at this point.

Cuz Solomon proved he could in the first six games? I think not. I wouldn't bring back Von back, I mentioned Alex Wright before who's second on the Browns in sacks and has similar size as Hoecht and is in the last year of his rookie deal so he won't be on the books next year when Hoecht is back unless we elected to re-sign him.

A GM's job is also to manage the team's salary cap so they can be competitive unless they're electing to kill their cap in order to get under in the following years to make such improvements. To say Beane hasn't done his job is a slap in the face and to all the players he's re-signed or added this offseason. Bosa has been significantly better than Von Miller, our running game is as good since the days of OJ Simpson thanks in part to addition of Hawes. Josh Allen's playing well, MVP level? Debatable as to me Cook been the real MVP this season. The secondary has taken some lumps but might be on the upswing with Poyer and Hairston now starting. All this despite injuries to our 2 starting DTs and limited production from our best LBs in Bernard and Milano.

The question is what kind of compensation pick the Eagles get back if lose Phillips as an UFA.

I did not wear my Bills hat all week and wore my standing Buffalo t-shirt watching the game, which started wearing last week.
