I think it’s the Eagles for me. I think they are like the Ravens of the NFC. That’s a really good roster that can win multiple ways. If we get to the Super Bowl though, I won’t be too picky about who the Bills play. 😉

This is absolutely one of my favorite things about McDermott and the organization. They really look out for their guys. As I understand it, Buffalo has a good reputation amongst players and agents now.

Based on what? The data suggests that WR contracts and % of cap are higher now than at any point in history. The data says the exact opposite of what you posted. That is all true even before Chase signs his new deal that will certainly be historic.

This is the answer. The market speaks loudly. WR contracts are getting bigger as a total but also as a % of the cap. Teams are moving MORE towards a commitment to the top WRs. I know some people desire “the good ol’ days when players did what they are told.” That’s not sports in 2025. The power lies with the players.

He has 5 catches on 17 targets over the last 2 weeks for 58 receiving yards. That’s not good enough. We always had issues with Gabe’s catch percentage. I hate to be the messenger but Gabe’s catch percentage was higher in each of his 4 years here than Coleman’s. They both have excellent yards per reception. I’m not ready to throw him in the dumpster. There are some things that he does well. At this point though, he isn’t a very good receiver for where he was picked. His ceiling is a role player, and a pretty good one, IMO. I don’t know if he is a top 2 guy at any point and Shakir has the slot locked down. Maybe he can grow into the other piece next to Amari (or whoever ends up as the number 1). At this point though, he looks like a piece and not a guy. That’s not great for pick 33. He has a lot of growth to get where he needs to be. Good post @HappyDays. That’s such an important piece. He’s far from a finished product. Let’s hope that the progression and growth happens.

He just isn’t very good. He wasn’t very good coming out. He can make some plays on fly balls because he has good ball skills. He’s never open so he can’t ever find volume. I think he was about WR 15 for me. He’s no better than that. Ladd would have been a much better pick. That’s not hindsight for me either. I hope Coleman becomes a big red zone target and continues to get down the field. He has some similarities to Gabe but he isn’t there yet.

The rumor was Sunday at 1 vs. Denver. It feels weird but Sal’s “best guess” is that time too. I’d love a Saturday game but think that Sunday at 1 it is. I don’t hate that time. If I were ranking, what I’d want from a quality of life standpoint: - Saturday early - Saturday late - Sunday early - Sunday late afternoon - Monday evening - Sunday evening

Hey everyone, I’m not using my seats next week. I’m sitting with my brother and we are going to sell mine. They are undercover and have heaters overhead. They are around the goal line on the Bills side. They are great seats. You have club access. We are probably going to post them for $1K each (got $1500 each last year). If someone here was interested I’d do $1600 for the pair no fees. That’s less than any pair undercover that I see listed at the moment. DM me if interested. They aren’t loaded onto my account yet so I couldn’t send until tomorrow. I’m going to post them when they get loaded on too.

They likely wouldn’t be using it. They would have it for sale to the whatever team, desires whatever QB, emerges. I’ve heard that some teams don’t love Sanders. The flip side is NFL teams like Drew Allar quite a bit. Can Ward probably is going to be the guy to go 1st IMO. The Pats would be adding at least a 1st to slide down only a few spots. Basically they would get the guy they are going to take at 4 now PLUS an additional 1st & 3rd (or something like that). There is nothing to not like about the result regardless of their draft history. That holds especially true for a team that already has their QB. I’d rather that they get Kelvin Banks than Kelvin Banks AND a Jahmyr Gibbs level prospect.

Not sure what you mean? I posted the draft value chart. Moving from 1 to 4 is the equivalent of the 12th pick. The last 4 guys picked 12 are: Bo Nix, Jahmyr Gibbs, Jameson Williams and Micah Parsons.

No offense, but this would still hold true. According to the draft value chart, the difference in the 1st pick and 4th pick is the equivalent of the 12th pick. If I told you, “you have the option right now to give the Pats the 12th overall pick for nothing,” you wouldn’t do that. That’s the exact point regardless of their spotty draft history. They essentially gave up the value of the 12th pick in the draft and an early 4th by winning today. That’s a bad thing for them and a good thing for us. https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp

I agree. As I was watching the game, I couldn’t help but hope that would be the outcome. I know that’s the logical answer but it’s hard to not want the Bills to win. I didn’t want them to lose necessarily but had zero issue with a punt from the 35. The Pats are going to be the 2nd best team in the division soon. It’s nice to be able to take away assets in a way. The 1st overall pick would have been an accelerant to their rebuild. They are still going to get good players and have the most cap space in the league. I agree though that the value lost for them today is equivalent to more than a 1st. That holds especially true if a QB separates themselves in the pre-draft process.

Both of those teams had HOF TEs and HOF coaches. The Chiefs have a top 5 defensive player and arguably a top 10 defensive player. I actually look at their roster as incredibly top heavy. Kelce and Chris Jones have come up HUGE in the playoffs. Elite players that have dominated. In terms of the Patriots, you named 3 guys on the defensive side and 2 of them are in the HOF. They weren’t very good or even elite. They were HOF good. Those teams had a bunch of HOF players. We have a habit as Bills fans of overrating our talent and underrating other teams talent. In terms of “all-time great” players, the Bills have Josh Allen and 35 year-old Von Miller. They have a lot of quality to very good players. That hasn’t been good enough. The other HOF caliber guy was Diggs and he disappeared in the playoffs for the Bills. The point being the gap from Garrett to Groot (for example) is MASSIVE. They aren’t “kind of alike.” You can find fringe Pro Bow players like Rousseau. When you get a chance to get an all-time great, in his prime, at a position of need, you don’t say “no thanks” because you’re worried about keeping Shakir or Bernard or Groot or Cook. You can find guys like that (or at least close). It’s much more difficult to find HOF guys that can take over games.

Does Coleman ever have an inch of separation? He’s been bad today.

He’s a Steelers beat guy. He absolutely is plugged in. Whether or not that comes to fruition is yet to be seen. At the same time, this isn’t some random guy on Twitter throwing something at the wall to see if it’ll stick.

Pro Bowler is certainly arbitrary. It isn’t like they had 5 though and we thought that they should have 8. Teams that win 13 or 14 games generally have more than 1 guy, other than the QB, recognized as one of the best at their position. The Ravens have 9 guys I think. Their roster has a lot more high end talent than the Bills. I guess I’m less worried about extending high end role players. That’s what I consider Bernard, Groot, Cook and Shakir. I think Benford has potential to be a star. You can find quality players easily. You’ve listed a bunch. You can’t find HOFers, at positions of need easily. That’s what we are talking about. The quality player approach has had the Bills competitive for years. They haven’t won anything despite a, soon-to-be, MVP QB. I would NEVER not trade for Myles Garrett because I’m worried about money for Bernard or Shakir.

Not sure if this is posted anywhere:

It’s much riskier, IMO, to allow Josh Allen to approach the age of 30 with only one other Pro Bowler on the roster. They have exactly 1 AFC Championship appearance, at this point, to show for his career. He’s the best offensive player, and arguably the best player, that’s ever played for the Bills. The Bills need to push their chips in every chance that they get. The goal, at this point, isn’t to develop the Javon Solomon’s of the world. It’s to win a championship. That’s why the Bills are the betting favorites to land Garrett if he moves.

Didn’t the Bills add Miller at 33 and not 30? We really can’t use those numbers interchangeably. In theory, you’d have the 3 best years of Garrett as opposed to Von.

Lol, I love threads like this. 😂😂 Watching fans overvalue their own assets, while undervaluing the assets of everyone else is a tradition like no other. I’m not here to burst anyone’s bubble, but if your offer starts with, “one of our 2nds from this year, Epenesa and a pick in 2026” you don’t know who Myles Garrett is. 😂😂 It will probably cost something like, “your 1st, a 2nd & Groot or Oliver.” You aren’t trading for “a slight upgrade.” You’re trading for, arguably, the best defensive player in football. He’s a future HOFer that hasn’t reached 30. I’d be on board with it. I think Rousseau is a really nice player and developing. I’d probably include him for the simple fact that I could avoid paying both of them. edit: If I did deal Rousseau in this hypothetical package, I’d take a DE with the rd. 2 pick left (I’d love one of the Ohio State guys there).

No doubt!! The talent on this roster is average maybe even a touch below. If you remove Josh and take a league average QB, like Purdy, they win like 6 or 7 games. What this team has is an edge. They play with a chip. Raise the talent level and keep this edge. If that happens they could be dominant for the forseeable future.

The draft is one of my favorite sporting events of the year. I’m already dozens of mock drafts in 😂😂. With 5 picks in rounds 4 and 5, it’s realistic to flip that into a 3rd & 2 4ths. The Bills SHOULD be able to pick 6 times in the first 135 picks. They’d still have more picks but it’s realistic to expect 6+ guys that’ll actually play (plus the 6ths). They have a chance to get a high end WR, fix the DL while adding depth there, add secondary depth and just select some guys that slip. It’s a GREAT opportunity to raise the talent level of a team that, despite winning A LOT of football games, still only had 2 pro bowlers.

Mostert has 64 yards rushing since November 3rd. He isn’t a part of that offense anymore.
