A blindside block is very similar to clipping. No one thinks NFL players are pansies because clipping is not allowed, or chop blocks, or horse collar tackles or face masking. People who oppose this are just pretending they are internet tough guys.

Stafford is a decent QB. He was somehow better when Calvin Johnson played.

My son was knocked out on blindside block on a punt in a high school football game. The play resulted in him being life-flighted to a trauma center. Fortunately, other than a concussion, there was no other damage. Scariest moment of my life. I approve of the new rule.

And they went 9-7 and 6-10 the next two years. All optimism for the Bills begins and ends with Josh Allen. If He is hits stardom, Beane is a hero. If he fails, the Bills just become the guys who traded the pick used for Mahomes.

He owned the Bills when he played on the Dolphins.

If you read the initial post, you would realize that I 100% covered your point about winning.

Nah, he is a sunk cost and there is zero purpose to cut him at this point. Literally no possible advantage to the Bills to cut him at this moment.

The two high priced cogs in the Bills offensive machine are McCoy and John Brown. What level of performance will be considered good performances for the investment this year? I realize there are no substitutes for winning, so if the team goes 19-0, no one will care even if they are cut. Just a question on what would be considered good results for the investment. (I also realize McCoy is a sunk cost, but still what are people hoping for from him to consider his season a success? )

I am not sure the point you are making. Are you saying last years Bills linemen that will be better during the upcoming season if they change teams?

What makes this a massive line?

Shady is playing to collect a check. He will not be an important part of the 2019 season.

Don't rain on the jealousy parade.

Point flew over your head. Chiefs will not be middle of the pack next year.

Most successful NFL teams succeed or fail on the strength of their QB. There is an occasional variation on the formula, but it is the key. On paper the Bills are a better team now than at the beginning of free agency. Assuming Mitch Morse can stay on the field, that signing alone upgrades the offensive line. Beasley and Brown are better than our other wide receivers. Not sure they are better than say, OBJ and Jarvis Landry (clevelands wr;s). If Allen is as good as I think he is, then he should be able to elevate their games. If Allen turns out to be just a guy, Brown and Beasley won't matter. The other FA signings far seem solid, but the players are just JAGs. A couple improve the team, because they replace truly awful starters, but they won't carry a team. I am happy with all the signings. These will help Allen. Hopefully they get a truly dynamic RB or WR playmaker in the draft that force other teams to specifically game plan for. But even if that happens, its still all on Allen.

Will be taking on Charles Clay primary role, using up cap space.

I think they still have Mahomes.

Its also called dumping Hue Jackson

Who is our WR1?

Seems like we still need a WR1

Next year when it is clear to everyone he is finished, those that can't see it now will claim others are using "20/20" hindsight.

Latest rumor is Jets https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/jets-seen-as-favorites-to-land-leveon-bell/ar-BBUCy3W?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=ACERDHP17 Regarding Bells dependency on a line. His is less than Shady's (by like 1000x, now that McCoy is old and broken down) . Bells effectiveness has a receiver is also pretty independent of the line.

The Chiefs thought it was a great move in foresight.

22 positions get picked. Bills used multiple picks to take two players in the top 15. How many other teams with two top 20 picks landed zero on the all rookie team?

Not surprisingly you miss the point. I am just stating the implications of the authors opinion.

I love Josh Allen. I would be hard pressed to agree to trade him for any QB drafted last year including Mayfield. But most observers of sports think that the teams that win have better players.
