Probably at some high level meetings. 😜

SC, god I hope you’re right. I think I’d give my left kidney for that guy. Can you imagine what he would do to Mahomes. It would be worth the fun of him absolutely destroying him in the championship game or for that matter the regular season next year. Ive been kidding with Doc on another thread so for my lack of brain cells sticking with one theme this morning so... SC, ENGAGE! Wait, did we just blow up Zero’s mind right now. I’m concerned he’ll have an aneurism. Someone call a doctor.

That’s it I’m calling you Bones from now on. I coughed up my water reading this one. Not that I was driving or anything. Another damn suit to the cleaners. Watch for it halfway through. Reply “you’re a little of both”. Live long and Prosper Bones. “Why you green blooded inhuman!” Sorry I loved those reruns growing up. My brother and I would try and guess the episode on channel 29 within 30 seconds after school, playing sports and when we were trying to not let our parents know we weren’t doing our hw. Yet. And for the wisearses on the board, not saying any names (Weo, Ridge, House, Gugs), no I’ve never been to Comic-Con, have a suit, but I did watch the Big Bang theory last night.

New Era nailed it with you bud. I can see you’re point. I hope he has enough gas left to have an impact, not only in the field, but can he be that mentor type to Davis and Hodgins. Still waiting for the McKenzie signing as I don’t want Hyde returning kicks and punts. That’s a mistake. I wish nothing but the best fir Brown. Maybe on this other team he has a ***** at earning #1 status again. Brandon Marshall said before the season who is an alumni stadium from UCF along with Davis, he was so advanced in his route running for Davis’s short career at UCF. If Sanders can just help him with a few more tips and even more with Hodgins, this could be excellent. Don’t get me wrong, I still want some kid round burner who is like a Ted ginn. Lots of speed not a lot of route running, but just flat out burns defenses. You can sometimes find those guys mid round. It’s gonna be fun.

Thanks NE. It was fun back in the day. Now I have the joints of an AARP member.

No argument Doctor. So Bones, ya got a pick you like at Guard (shameless Star Trek reference) in the draft?

I think we’re ok brother. McD and Rivera are tight, but last year we really needed a DT, and Tim Settle would’ve been perfect out if WFT. They were deep in their line and he would’ve been cheap. Never happened. He was one of the best run stopping tackles in the league and Star just opted out. I still think he could help us, but I’m guessing Rivera told Beane to metaphorically go fish. I must have said this a couple of dozen times, I could be wrong. I just don’t see it. From the Texans perspective, what’s their motivation at all in conference. The other two have a lot more to offer. I’ve read Watson walked back from the Jets, but who knows if that is true. The Fins for him should be a no brainer. For the Fins, they have to compete with us, and proabably could if they could land him. Tua might be fine in time and remember Josh only had a 52.8% completion rate his rookie year. The fins are going to have to give up a lot for him. God I hope this DOES NOT happen. The only joy would be maybe the Jets improve with a much better coach, and we Duke it out with the Fins, the Jets third, and lowly Pats fourth this year and beyond. I just want so desperately for BB to go into anonymity as terrible right Brady leaves. I don’t hate Brady like I hate this crap if BB playing chess when everyone else plays checkers. Go into retirement BB with a terrible record post Brady.

Probably Rudolph. At his age a prove it deal 2 years, but can get out after 1 if needed. He’s a solid dude. That was funny on the inaccuracy. I don’t know if you played or coached you’re kids, but it was pounded in my head as a kid to catch, secure, and then over guys. My coaches knew I liked to hit people. One of the reasons I liked Mike Allstot. I used to bartender as a second job in graduate school and he would come in pre-marriage to see one of my bartenders who was sweet and beautiful, we shared a register, and Allstot would sit right in front of my register ever weekend for one of the nights. One week and this was NFCC days so the Vikings played the Bucs. Allstot made it through the line and was running right for the end zone. He had a safety from his position would be left of him. He could easily run in to the right without an issue. He purposefully ran left to literally knock the guy four feet back. He came 5e next Saturday of course to the club. I was raving to him and he told me the guy jawed at him earlier in the game. He said I was going to score anyway so why not have fun. He was funny as he said “Dan you could’ve knocked that .... on his ..... back then I was a powerlifter, and I told him I’m not you bud. Knox just needs to focus. I drilled into my kids I coached and there are several drills you can do to improve, but you can’t try and play hero ball. If the defense allows you a 7 yard catch, take it. After secured which takes less than half a second, then hammer a guy, or evade. Bottom line is never get ahead of yourself as a player. I was fortunate. I had great coaches and did the best I could with the kids I coached. Youre question was good BTW.

SC, I’m guessing primetime wanted to just list offense, but I’ll agree the four needs or upgrades are the ones you list. Knowing primetime a little from the board, my guess is sometime this week he’ll do the same with the defense. My rank order on offense is equal on TE and RB. I like Ettiene at 30 and the best TE’s are gone. The only two left I see as serviceable are Ertz and Rudolph. I never want to spend $ on a RB in FA. It stinks this year we didn’t have the $ for an edge rusher.

The problem with Knox is he never learned in youth football, catch and secure the ball before you look up field. That’s a 12 year old mistake. I’d love an experienced TE, but just not sure if it’s Ertz. Maybe. Kyle Rudolph has similar stats and ages 30/31. Either one can help, and you’re right maybe Sweeney and Knox will improve. If they do, and we grabbed one of these older guys we would have a 13 personnel option.

CS, I expect the same. Not sure where in the draft, but it makes sense. I think they will be smart and matchup BPA to Need. That’s what most teams do in the draft. They single out say four position groups and then stack up their board. Whoever’s highest in each slot gets the nod and so on. Beane will hit on some and miss on others just like other very good GM’s. Looking back on 2020, the jury is out on Epenesa and Hodgins given Hodgins injuries, but Davis, Bass, and I believe Dane Jackson were or are going to be hits.

He’s declined in play. The only drug I occasionally take is caffeine.

A plane sighting? Has anyone thought it could be a business meeting for one of his many businesses? We don’t have the $ for Mack or Fuller. Everyone would love Mack, but it’s not happening.

Last night on NFLR analysts expected he would be cut in the next day or so. If cut, maybe a vet minimum to try him out. I agree he’s not worth a trade, but a try out on a minimum and maybe he’s healed up.

Process, they don’t have the draft capital to pull it off. If any AFCE team could make that kind of trade it would be the Jests or Fins. The fins have the most capital in that their two 1’s and Tua would help the Texans this year. The Jets also have two 1’s, but Darnold I doubt is attractive to the Texans. Now that is assuming the Texans are starting to buckle on a trade, and Watson will agree to either team. I don’t want to see it, but if I’m Watson, I’d go for it on Miami. Nice weather, no state taxes, and a team that spent $235.8 mil in FA last year along with 11 picks. This would be good for the Fins as they still have an additional 8 picks this year. That would be a nightmare. Pats? No way. Besides all Watson needs to do is call Brady. He’d tell him to run the other way. I’ve heard the Pats had the #1 defense in 2019, but one should add we had in the #3 defense that year and #2 in points behind them by 2.1 pts/game. Now we had the 14th defense in 2020 and the Pats were 15th. Things change year to year and we will have we hope a healthy Milano, Edmunds, and Star.

Yeah it’s WTF, I mean WFT. Sounds like a good signing for them. He’s solid, but for those who wanted us to take a run, that’s silly. We already have Diggs. If we don’t have the $ for an Edge Rusher or TE, we’re not going to spend extravagantly on one of the two deepest positions.

MAJ, just getting on here, but you beat me to it. My guess is they extend McKenzie, especially since they let Roberts walk. It’s suggested he might be able to expand somewhat his role on offense. Regarding Diggs, Beasely, Davis, maybe Samuel, and you never know how Hodgins works out this year. We have versatility. Cam has a career 60% completion record for 10 years. BB did what he could do for Cam giving him two taller WR’s, two TE’s, and they already had a solid running game. They may win some games, but they won’t get to a championship. As far as the Pats first game, Allen far outplayed Newton. The game was close because there were 45 mph. Winds so we ran for 194 yards. That was a smart decision by the Bills. On the other hand knowing the conditions it was a mistake by BB dropping 8 back to shut down Allen and company. They made it too easy for us to run the ball. This topic came up on WGR this morning and Sal brought up a good point. He agreed Kelce abused us in 2020, but he also cited several examples of TE’s this past year we kept in check. We also did not have healthy Milano and Edmunds with in front. We don’t know what will happen in the draft. There is a segment on this board that still sees ghosts of the last with NE. That’s ok as they beat us for 20 years. What I see is Brady was more of the impediment and he’s gone. What happened in the second NE game is more telling to me. By no means do I think we are sweeping the East as a guarantee, but I’ll take our chances in all six games. Allen didn’t forget how to throw a ball and neither did Diggs, Beasely and Davis catching one.

I’m happy for him and must be tough playing opposite of Tre. He knows opposing offenses are going to target him the entire game. He’s a decent depth player so for whatever we’re paying him, I’m happy for him.

It was interesting Kirwan mentioned the other day on NFLR responding to a question on the cap by a caller who wanted to exempt QB’s from the cap. He said, first we’re not the NBA. Second, the primary reason the NFL owners like a hard cap is it makes the franchises far more profitable in a sale as they can account for every penny. Zero, if you’re intention is to call Bills fans stupid as they don’t understand the cap, I disagree. This is a smart fan base on this board who’s been through times where we had bad cap Mgmt starting with Butler since FA started. He followed Polian. Now a lot of people fondly remember Butler (god rest his soul who died after he went to SD from cancer) who was able to bring us lots of expensive defensive talent for Wade and we had the best defense in football in the late 90’s. The problem was he also put us in cap hell as a result. We then started our drought with that tool Donahoe. Then there was the 17 year drought having to overpay for talent, ie. Mario Williams. We kept just trying to plug holes vs. a methodical approach and vision like McBeane. In four years this team has made it to the playoffs three times and went to the championship game. That looks to me to be a team who wants to win now and later. They gave up on the last in 19 to the Jets as it didn’t matter playing all backups or they would’ve been 11-5. They follow up with 13-3. Sounds like a good vision to me.

Ford was not terrible last year at G. It was a bad decision in 2019, but out of necessity to play him at RT. He’s a natural G from HS and College. If he underwhelms, Boettger once extended as I haven’t heard an extension yet is his backup.

On that I agree Yo Man. It’s over so no reason to be concerned. Just like in life. Done is done. Moving on. BTW to all especially my Irish friends. Happy St. Patty’s Day!

I know Nucc. They can always go to a player and rework a contract. It just tells me they didn’t have the desire. At worst, they cut and resign lower. They didn’t have an interest. I thought before for cap reasons, but obviously not.

Yolo, they could’ve redone his contract if he agreed to a significant paycut. If stampede is right, then they didn’t see the value even at a lower contract.

Stampede, I’ll defer to you brother as I didn’t hear he wasn’t made a pay cut offer. Probably a sign his injury issues were worse than we thought. I don’t what the Raiders are doing as they are shedding solid O Lineman. That center was very good. Surprised they released him. Thanks Stampede. Appreciate the clarification.

Why didn’t Brown just take this offer with us. Ugghh, unless we didn’t offer at all. We don’t his health details, but if he would be healthy, he would’ve been a better option than Sanders. I don’t see this as an upgrade with Sanders. The truth will come out eventually. If we could’ve had him for $4 mil. There has to be something.
