On this day in history….

We want everyone to be in the parade! Go Bills!!!

Does this mean he’ll retire a Bill..?!

Ya know. I’m getting irked here. Coleman played significant snaps in the playoffs. If he wasn’t into it, says Beane,, and he didn’t fit in either,, says Keon,,, then what the hell? Were we that desperate at WR..? I didn’t think so. Sure we still scored, but damn.

The offense is always going to change in December/January. This isn’t dome city magazine, pal. Nabers just the obvious A+ ?

Elam

He’s verging on breath takingly good. See that TD in the AFCCG. He just doesn’t hog the ball enough to be paid that way, I think. If he’s used properly—exactly how he’s used now with the Bills—then he can grow within his limitations and continue getting better. If he goes to some sorry team that wants to make him a three down back, he won’t last long. He’s already shown the willingness to take a pounding inside, but still stay smart about sidestepping out of bounds when needed. Hope he comes to his senses and accepts the Bills offer. And he’s no Gibbs, so he’s not cracking top 5 RB respect probably as a Bill.

I had no idea. Was watching one of my murder mystery shows and learned what Irish twins were. Nailed it, inspired me.

I don’t know what an Irish thank you is either. But I do know that one of the little secrets in life is appreciating what you have. When you know you know. Thanks to Beane for being completely competent when it comes to keeping our guy. He does well paying the rest of the guys too. But it seems like he works really hard to make sure Josh can stay here. Thanks to McDermott for knowing how good Josh is, and for being a true vocal cheerleader for our guy. Felt that that was an out of character, a stretch for him, and I’m hoping there’s more of those to come. And of course, Thank You Josh Allen. I wouldn’t want any other quarterback in the league to be our guy. Thanks for always being down to be a Bill. I appreciate you whole heartedly! 🙏 Just wanted to give thanks, apart from the nuts and bolts in the contract thread.

I got McDermott letting Beane walk. So this whole thing better work out. Beane sure has put in a lot of time. Hope both can get this done.

Time to pay the piper, Mack. CRUSH HIS TOES!!!!! Go Bills!!!

Im not blind to it ☺️ I know what it is. It’s my point 😊. You agree: of the two, Beane goes. Sean would never allow a potential replacement become a threat to his job. Unless you’ve got some empirical evidence against it.

I drafted Palmer as a late round flyer and he delivered once, and didn’t last year. Oh well. There were a lot of mouths to feed w/ the Chargers, so we’ll see. Feels like a Samuel re-do a little. Like Samuel, Palmer needs to show he can stay on the field by doing the little things well, and then- BOOM! Don’t drop the ball!! 😵 How many firsts does it take to get Nabers right now? Just spitballing

I agree with doing more. This thing has to play out. If I hear you, you think the most likely outcome for Sean and Beane is a SB Trophy? I’m all for believing in that. But if it doesn’t go that way, how’s it end? Both at the same time? I just can’t be made to believe McDermott won’t be the last man standing. Everything he’s done while in Buffalo has lead up to one of the most secure HC jobs in the entire league. He’s entrenched. Hope that’s not his only worth while “coaching tree” legacy (how to not get fired, ever).

YESSSSSSS!!!!! who? Go Bills!!!

I just hope we understand that getting more B players on defense isn’t the answer. It’s not. B player loses to A player in the playoffs in crunch time. Pretty much every time. We’d have a better chance with two A players and a bunch of Cs and Bs scattered about. The two dudes get the sack, the interception, the forced fumble, etc. Wanna see what the B guys do in the biggest games? See the Bills last five playoff loses. For me it’s more of a coin flip, but I’ll side with because I like you. But we can’t imagine any scenario where McDermott is fired and Beane survives, right?

But since McDermott isn’t going anywhere, like ever, because Josh wins so many games, Beane is the only one that can go. Realistically speaking.

Yeah.. what’s McDermott’s contract?? Better be peanuts like in the old days.

Welp, I’m convinced. A WR of this magnitude isn’t in our cards, considering what it costs. With how the offense has been built, we can’t justify that cost. Right now, we don’t need a WR to take up 40% of the loot on field. We don’t play that way. So we pick up guys who posses one or two of the skills we need AND we draft. A stud on a rookie deal is the best we’ll get.

Cook is playing for the Bills this season if he signs a team friendly extension, or decides to risk it all and play out his current deal. I believe neither is happening. Cook wants more money, and to the Bills he’s not worth it, because he isn’t. Sad but true. So how’s his trade value? Because he’ll holdout. Who are his buyers? He’ll need a new contract. Who’s up for that in a trade deal. I wouldn’t say Seattle, but who knows.. Walker is always hurt. Cleveland? Chubb was fantastic but that’s over now right? Can’t stay healthy and the line has deteriorated. No QB. Would they like Cook? They could sell it to fans, right? He’s a young, emerging, gifted playmaker, and it can easily be argued that he’s on the rise. To the fans. Sales job for having to move Garrett. And you get a R1 & and a 2, and Cook. Just trying to figure out the options here. Cook in Cleveland.. He’ll get paid, but his career will tank. They’ll use him like a three down back and at the goal line. He isn’t build for that. Period. Josh gets smashed. Cook is protected. But we all saw Cook pound out tough yards and take a big step forward last season. I was stoked. But what a shame with what he’s doing on social media.. talkin’ out his ass. He’d have to 180 to play for the Bills next season, so what can we get for this guy?? They want things, and acted on it publicly. There’s a comparison.

Since this is the top thread for a yet to be signed guy. Why do I know feel the sense of hmmmm for the first time this off season. The question raced through my mind: Is Beane telling us we already have what it takes, so we’re taking care of ours first, and that’s the #1 priority? I was kinda thinking that after KC we needed some shakeup on defense,, and then the Garrett news and I’m going.. hell yeah- Gimme him! Yet here we are signing everybody back.. hmmmmm. Just sayin’.

I was glad yours was the first post. It needed to be said. But hopefully this money becomes incentive to turn it up a notch. What a dream of a contract for the young man. You just never know how these things are gonna go. See Elam. Couldn’t be happier for the success here.

Love love love Bernard when playing. And I love keeping him. If that’s the money, fine! What do I care 🤣 What comes along with this is having to draft and sign guys that play his position. Don’t have to do that with the Queens and Wagners and whonot. It’s just… what it is. I’ll bite. He plays rather reckless, because of his size. Like Bob Sanders.

Jerry Glanville wasn’t just talking’ about coaches

1 Case for Garrett. Bills would be crazy to not lean towards moves that win now. It’s a balancing act.. present day vs future of the club. But this is it.. it has been it for the past FIVE YEARS.. can’t let this guy slip out without a ring. Just need to die trying
