C’s for me I love that they aren’t afraid to spend. That includes facilities, amenities, players, coaches, etc... That is the single most important thing that an owner can do, enable those underneath them to do what needs to be done. The negative part is that I don’t believe they really know what they are doing. They’ve bungled multiple hires (Murray, Bylsma, Ryan). They are still learning on the job but I don’t believe them to be the savviest of business people. That has been corroborated by multiple people that they have had dealings with. They were affectionately refereed to as “the Clampets” during the Harbor Center project. The important thing is that they have money though. If they hire the right people and enable them to do their job they will be good owners. The best owners in sports (think Peter Holt in San Antonio or the Rooney’s in Pittsburgh) stay in the background.

FWIW I’m going: - Bills wins 5.5 under - Allen starts 12 push - McCoy rushing yards 1,150 under - Leading receiver yards 750 over - Leading receiver catches 65 over - Total INTs 15 under - Player with most INTs 4.5 over - Player with most sacks 8.5 under - 1st win week 4 over - 1st 2019 draft pick number 6 under - Bills Pro Bowlers 1.5 over

The game is simple. Just predict over or under for each: - Bills wins 5.5 - Allen starts 12 - McCoy rushing yards 1,150 - Leading receiver yards 750 - Leading receiver catches 65 - Total INTs 15 - Player with most INTs 4.5 - Player with most sacks 8.5 - 1st win week 4 - 1st 2019 draft pick number 6 - Bills Pro Bowlers 1.5

I believe that they can after next year. It’s like a $16.5M dead cap hit after this year. They could draft a guy and/or try to get Tyrod for $10m a year?

I was just coming here to say the same thing. The Jags know that Bortles mistakes are one of the only things that could hold them back. I’m surprised that they didn’t take that off the table with Tyrod. I guess it’s possible next year. I don’t see Bortles there long-term.

I’d be happy to book that for you if you are interested? O/u 8.5 wins

Darlene Snell too

I finished season 2 yesterday. It was great!! The women in that show are ruthless.

Good luck Lenz!!

15-27, 186 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs

Houston and probably Miami

You may get a big offer for that 1st pick or a franchise changing pass rusher like Myles Garrett is about to be. Unless Eric Fisher is going to be the 1st pick there is never a bad year to have the top pick.

Playoffs for sure Answered another way though, I’d rather pick 1st than be 7-9. The goal is a championship not a playoff berth. Keep building towards that!!

It feels a little weird but I’ve met a handful of these guys now. They are just as weird in person as on here. It will go pretty smoothly. You’ll have a blast. The road games are a lot of fun regardless of the outcome.

Have fun Shady!!

Ravens - 24 Bills - 13

Oh I agree but if you don’t have the QB you can’t have a dynasty. That was kind of my point. We took Tre White last year who can be an ELITE CB but you can’t win multiple titles without the elite QB. You can win one but can’t consistently contend without one. The Bills need to be right about Allen and need to hit at a high % in 2019.

I’m excited about Edmunds but even if he’s good and Allen isn’t we are in trouble. If the Bills found their QB, have 10 picks and up to $100M in cap space they will be fine. Everything else is a bonus (lagniappe as we’d say in New Orleans).

This is where I’m at. I don’t think that it is possible to repeat the Chargers performance. It isn’t unrealistic though to expect more INTs than TDs. I’ll say 15-27, 186 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs

This is the least excited that I’ve maybe ever been. With that being said it can turn quickly if Allen looks like a player. For me this year was never about wins and losses. It was about clearing the cap and drafting a franchise QB. The job is half done. If Allen proves to be that guy the Bills may become contenders sooner rather than later. I will be REALLY excited for the 2019 season.

Agreed I could have seen Tyrod, Wood, Incognito, Glenn looking like a functioning group. I’m having a hard time figuring out how the Bills were giving 5 on the road. I wish that I would have seen that. I would have taken 5 with Baltimore and now 7 with the Bills. That’s a massive middle.

Should the Bills trade Mario for Skelton?

No, it was in the summer. That was like June. I don’t remember that but apparently it is true.

That’s the weird thing. They project 6.3 wins burn have them as a favorite 3 times. 4 wins could be last but anything over that and they won’t.
