Rocky Landing

Not Encino-- that's in the middle of the San Fernando Valley. He has a house in a gated community in Dana Point, which is South of Huntington Beach. If Josh Allen lived there year-round, he would not be playing football (unless he didn't mind driving about 3 1/2 hours every day).

Of course not. Neither does Josh.

Are you suggesting that Allan would only be willing to play for the Chargers, or Rams, and that he would go out of his way to engineer a deal in one of those franchises? Seems like a stretch. He doesn't have a home in LA now. And there really isn't a reason for Hailee to live there full time, either. Motion picture production is way down in LA, but even if it were booming, it's a part time gig for someone like her, and a lot of the productions she would be involved with wouldn't shoot in LA anyway. Even animation voice work is largely done remotely these days. There's no reason to live in LA full time. Plus, the city is a sh!thole. Trust me-- I live here.

Especially now that there are three wildcard teams, and only one playoff bye per conference, getting the #1 seed is huge. It's not unreasonable to say that it was one of the largest factors that got KC into the Super Bowl.

40 is the new 30. And 50 is the new 40. And by the time Josh is 40, that 40 will be the new 30 from the previous 30, which will be the new 20. Probably by the time Josh hits Social Security age (which will have been raised to at least 70 by then) That 70 will be the new 60, at least three times removed, meaning that Josh should be a dominant NFL quarterback well into his "Golden Years," which by then will be "the new 80" which will, of course, be around 90 years old. Math.

Boobs.

I was hoping we could get Zach Ertz.

I don't like the guy.

I would be happy if you're right.

In year-two of his career, I don't believe his draft position matters at all. If he's ready to start, he will. But, frankly, he looked like a liability on Sunday, and he was targeted often. And, honestly, I don't really feel like Hamlin is starting quality, either. IMO, Rapp is the only starting quality safety on the roster. Safety is definitely a position in dire need of upgrades to my mind.

I don't picture him starting the season, unless he really improves in the offseason. Him starting in the AFCCG was a clear function of our lack of depth at the position. But, I certainly don't think he'll be cut. Do you?

Just my opinion On Offense: I think on offense we need one, speedy boundary receiver who can consistently get separation.. and that's it. The Bills have an opportunity to enter the '25 season with almost the same offense they finished with, and that's not a bad thing. The familiarity, consistency, and culture on that side of the ball shouldn't be underestimated. Maybe Cooper can be that boundary WR? But, we sure didn't see it this season. But, I wouldn't be surprised if they re-signed him (although, I suspect most would disagree with that...). But certainly, our O-line, RB, and TE, and QB rooms should, as much as possible, stay the same. Maybe Zack Davidson for Q Morris. Maybe sneak Tyrell Shavers on there-- minor tweaks. On Defense: Quite the opposite. The only players I would feel strongly about holding onto are, Groot, Oliver, Benford, Bernard, Milano, Taron Johnson, Rapp (that's right, I said it), and maybe Epenesa, and Dorian Williams. I would imagine we hold onto Cam Lewis (who is important for depth, and ST), Carter, Solomon... keep kicking the tires on Cole Bishop, I suppose... Maybe not a complete overhaul, but a minimum of four new starters, and a lot more depth.

That ignores a lot of factors, including the concept that McDermott can improve as a coach from season to season. I think we probably both agree that the defensive roster in '22 was far better than in '24.

I don't have to look forward, no. I choose to.
