    STFU.

    He's not wrong.  It's not smart business to give RBs big second contracts. Just look at his brother for an example why not. 4 years of heavy use, 1 superlative year in there, then he fell off a cliff and was done at age 28.  Do we expect James' physiology to be vastly different than his brother's?  This is a very tricky contract for the Bills to navigate.  Certainly you want to keep him, but the reality of running backs is what it is. 

     

    If you're spending money at RB you're not spending it somewhere else.  For it to make sense at that position it needs to be a shorter term deal which then basically forces the actual dollars to be higher because SOMEONE will make him a ridiculous offer.  Do you tag him and deal with the animosity that comes with that?

     

    Saquon's current deal is actually relatively affordable and it's structed in a very team friendly way with and out AND voidable years at the end along with manageable cap hits.  If James is up for something like that (3 yrs/37M/26M guaranteed) it might be doable.

    The people who hate on Cook do so because they still prefer bigger, more physical backs who can do the 3 yards and a cloud of dust stuff. 

     

    Cook is not that kind of player but he is a top 10 back. His vision and short area acceleration are elite.

    He's the most consistently explosive back we've had in a long time.  Maybe Shady for a little while?  Then I'm not sure who it would be before that.  We've always had pretty good RBs, they're just usually a bit different style, more power, fewer long plays.

    Interesting discussion. Obviously the one seed is the priority. But if it’s out of reach, give the starters two bye weeks and go into the wild card fresh.

     

    As far as being rusty, that’s a risk you’ve gotta run. But it seems unlikely. McDermott is undefeated coming off a BYE.

    Exactly. If KC and Houston both win Wednesday health has to become the priority.  Everybody wants the 1 seed to get the bye, well if they get the 2 seed and can give themselves 2 weeks off I don't see the issue.  Two weeks of 17 not getting hit or having to jump over or run through anyone is huge.

    I'm guessing the Bills didn't want to open the playbook too much given that we need to play these guys again in two weeks in the Trubisky Bowl.

    Only new thing I saw today was Anderson coming in motion before kicking out the DE.  They did it a couple times and I'm guessing they showed that because they have something else they want to run off of it.  If I had to guess it would be a PA pass to Anderson, after showing that motion, inside the 5 yard line for a cheap TD.

    If you're referring to the BS DPI calls, both the WR and DB were engaged within 5 yards of the LOS.  The correct call in both cases was no call.

    I'm referring to basically every play where he is pulling and tugging on the receiver.  It happens very very frequently, usually when the receiver is coming out of their break or when the ball is coming, and if he could stop doing that it would be preferred.

    I actually very much enjoyed this as it felt complete role reversal from 2001-2019 Patriots games.

     

    There were many games those years the Bills came and gave strong efforts for those teams but the Patriots eventually would rise to the top as they were the better team.

     

    Ditto Buffalo now.  

     

     

     

    I said the same thing to my wife at halftime "watch, they'll mess it up. I've seen this game from the other perspective like 10 times. They're going to let us score after halftime, then turn the ball over. Then it will spiral and be over."

    You must be young... just start watching Football this year did ya?

     

    Headcase... probably.

     

    Good WR... definitely 

    "Really good" WRs aren't on 4 teams in a 12 month span.

     

    Not being a jackass is a skill set. It's also one that you and he both lack so it doesn't shock me that you wouldn't recognize it's importance.

    A lot of us on here were beating the drum for Alabama over SMU in the playoffs.  Losing to Clemson should’ve bounced them out of consideration in my book.  

    Alabama didn't deserve to be in either.

     

    Today didn't show that Alabama should have been in, it showed that 12 teams is too many. 8 was sufficient.

    It’s definitely fixable. Just have to be right once at GM. 
     

    It’s like when he took over the Bills. Many were critical of him. He was making some mistakes. But he just had to be right 1 time and everything changed. 

    I don't think the Bills situation ever got bad with players and agents in the way that it has with the Sabres.

    The only spot where I'd disagree is his athletic ability.

    While I haven' seen him recently, I saw him plenty in P'burgh and he was literally one of the quickest human beings I have ever seen in my life.

    He was still a dipstick that couldn't catch a cold, but by gawd could that boy move.

    He's quick, not fast. Different things. And the lack of hands are a legitimate problem.

    Absolutely no one on this team with any heart.  

    All the people who matter have already gotten paid.  They are playing their way out of town and it's obvious. Terry holds a meeting and says not to expect any major trades. He thinks that will make them more comfortable and settle down. In reality it kicks about half of them in the nuts because they were hoping to be gone so they packed it in even further and got whipped 6-1 by the only team worse than them, then backed that performance up with another 6-3 drubbing.  They've given up SIXTY goals in their last 11 games. If that isn't quitting I don't know what is.  You go into a scoring drought and lose a couple tough ones? 2-1, 1-0, fine that happens.  To get drubbed and give up that many goals over that many games is ridiculous. There is absolutely no excuse for a team to defend that poorly for that long a period of time.  Then the big man comes in with what he thinks is support for you and you give up 12 in two nights? GTFO with that.
