Honestly, their GM may be responsible for doing the same thing that Beane did: invest in sub-par WRs, hope to elevate mostly C and some B level defensive talent, and hang on to aging players.

6 away from 40+ for the 5th? straight year

Snow King Josh Allen

5th year is an easy 'sure,' but history is full of talented TEs who can't stay healthy and therefore floated around team to team. We will need to see some steel in year 4 and 5 to warrant any kind of extension.

Nothing for the late hit on Allen...

Interesting to me that people on this board hold Zack Taylor in higher regard than McD....

Ok everyone: what is the one weird Bills themed collection that you have? Bills Little People? Hats? Gnomes? 👀 Bobble-heads? Spill this is a judgement free zone. Sort of.

Question: Does our conservative, short game focus potentially cause these stats to be misleading?

I felt like this statement was false, but it's actually true: Groots Cap Hit Ranks 2027 - 23m: 14th in the NFL 2028 - 24m: 9th in NFL 2029 - 25m: 6th in NFL Don't be put off by him being a top 10 ranked paid DE either. Top guys are making 40, 50, even 60m, so Groots rankings will fall as new contracts and extensions are done. He would need to make around 30m a year to enter the top 5, even in 2025. Groot is also no slug. He's a 'Robin' pass rusher (needs a Batman) but as a run defender, he's Superman. Easily one of the best in the NFL.

Obviously if DS was like "Yes! See you Monday!' then changed his mind after they released JI, that's a different story.

Yea this is a pretty bad fumble. I know JI was nothing special defensively, but he could hold down the CB role and is a real good 'teamer. Lost him for potentially nothing.

He has a 16% missed tackle rate and allowing 75% completions. This isn't a loss. Shocked Beane even tried.

Tre, Bishop, Benford, and Lewis have completion percentages under 60% this season, Hairston is under 50%.

Probably deserves it's own thread: Tre White hasn't allowed more than 2 catches or a completion percentage of more than 50% since October 5th. Give that man his flowers.
