Rocky Landing

Brown is one of those players that I really wanted to succeed. I loved his story coming out of N. Iowa, his loyalty to his team, and the kind of teammate he was/is. Loved his aggressiveness, and sheer power. Off the field, he is one of those guys that really fits the Bills' culture that McD/Beane have been creating, and I'm definitely one of those homer fans who likes to root for the man, as well as the player. But the O-line as a unit was at times a hot mess last season. IMO, Ryan Bates also did not live up to expectations, and I wonder if (as many seem to believe) he's a better fit on the left? It also makes me wonder if Brown would have performed better with a more solid guard standing next to him? I also wonder how much of his struggles came from changing over to Kromer's system/scheme? This TC will be huge for him.

Man, this is good news. Our secondary was a mess by the end of the season. But, if we have Tre returning to form, Elam improved from his rookie season, and a healthy Hyde, Poyer, and Taron, then we're doing pretty well. There's a lot of IFs right there... but reason for optimism.

Not in Los Angeles it ain’t.

What would be the difference between that and Matt Barkley?

Is Spotrac factoring in all of the restructures? I don’t think all of the paperwork has been signed.

But I believe that the Allen/Miller restructuring put us $16mil under. Cumulatively, they saved $32mil in cap. I believe that is what I read. But I’m posting this from my phone, in a sushi restaurant in downtown LA, and I’m on my second large hot saki. So I could be remembering this wrong…

I think Beane has been historically reticent to pull the trigger this early in FA, when teams are much more likely to overpay. but correct me if I’m wrong: Didn’t the Allen and Miller restructures alone create $16mil in cap space, and then the Milano, Settle, and Hines deals create even more?

This early in FA is when teams will overpay for FA acquisitions (Meyers notwithstanding...). I'm not surprised Beane hasn't made any significant moves towards a skill position.

The conspiratorially-minded might wonder if Meyers wasn't secretly on Josh McDaniels' payroll last season when he threw the Fail Mary in LV. McDaniels employing the Patriot* Way?

$11 mil per year for arguably their best WR.

So, you're saying... Diggs is trolling, and you're biting?

I, for one, was sorely disappointed with the Jets season that they didn't manage to push the Patriots* into the basement of the AFCE. Hopefully, Rodgers can get them over that hump into third place.

Who does this guy think he is, Ben Roethlisberger?

I wonder how Nextmanup feels about the recent Josh Allen sighting on vacation with his girlfriend?

McD brought this team out of a seventeen-year playoff drought that ended with the disaster of Rex Ryan, and turned it into a perennial playoff contender. If that sounds like an apology to you, then I guess I'm one of the apologists.

Saquan Barkley is only 26???

God, I hate the Chiefs fans' tomahawk chop, and chant thing. I'm not going to say it's racist, but it sure as hell is tacky.

I think I'm going to fly out for this fly out for this. I'll have to brush up on the language... I wonder if there's a London pub where Bills fans hang out?

I think he'd be a good fit for the Patriots*...

I was very drunk during those years…

Brady* will always be Brady*.

I was hoping he'd come here if Frazier got a HC gig somewhere.

Ya know, I'll bet that would be a role he would excel at. Plus, then we could finally get rid of Lee Smith... err, I mean Bobby Hart... All kidding aside, don'tcha kinda miss Lee Smith...? I do.

My MiL, and FiL are Patriots* fans...😕

Given how limited Boogie's snaps are, especially for his rookie season (understandable, given we had 11 D-linesmen on the roster), I think he is a much better player than many give him credit.
