The Shady story in that article is priceless. Shady was a stud and one of the leaders of that team, for him to hand Sammy an envelop full of paper targets must have been soul crushing. He said he was butt hurt, and Id bet he and his reputation in that locker room never recovered.

Great signing! A few thoughts: Steal at that price Barkley wont get signed by anyone, and this should say all that it is needed to be said. Fromm to the PS? I doubt anyone is interested in his noodle arm. The Patriots re-signed Cam.... really? lol

I'd ask you the same question. You're in full blown forum rage because were not all over the moon for Sanders. I'm underwhelmed, you're in a frothy frenzy, we can agree to disagree. Maybe lay off the coffee in the AM.

I wasn't expecting to sign a FA WR. But given that we did, I don't hate Sanders so much as I think signing a 33 year old speed guy that's not soo speedy is underwhelming. Also people keep pointing to his stats last year, they would be fine if he was the #2 or #3 option for Brees but he wasn't. He was the #1 option for most of the year and again was underwhelming. Id have restructured JB or made an effort to keep a Pro Bowl return man, thats all Im saying.

Pretty underwhelming

I tell my wife (a PA native) all the time, the Bills are about more than football. Its generational and a lifetime of family memories! Your mom sounds alot like mine was as well. I guess they all had a little Jan Gallo in them (Buffalo66). Condolences on your loss. May the Bills forever remind you of fonder days!

This would likely spell the end for JB and likely Andre Roberts me thinks. A cap saving pick / replacement. Hodgins and Dazz would be the next guys up.

A guy that barely dresses is easily replaceable. I don't necessarily dislike him, but there are young bucks every year, often in later rounds that can fill his role. Let this guy get on with his career tbh. I'm sure he can find a few more opportunities someplace.

He wasn't getting paid in college. Now that he is, he bein LayZay!

No issue with Isiah. He'll want more than I'd be willing to pay, I guess that makes him expendable. I think he's probably replaceable to save money. You have to look somewhere to save money given the current contract and salary cap situation. Though I have no idea what he wants and what his market value would be 🙈

Capitalism. 2 sides agreed to a deal that they hope will be mutually beneficial. Nothing to see here.

We really need a stud DE or/pass rusher. I think Jerry is still serviceable if he has a young stud on the other side (His PFF numbers were good). Beane's 2020 hodge podge approach isn't gonna cut it in the big games. I don't think Lawson or Phillips would have made a difference either. The more I think of it the Oliver pick is going to haunt us for a couple more years. He's never gonna be big or strong enough to hold the line, he doesn't have the burst to be a fearsome pass rusher, and apparently he needs a complimentary big man next to him to be worth anything. He's just sort of... good enough to start. I wonder if Clowney would have made a difference for Hughes last year, or Yannick or whoever else we flirted with?

IDK, I'm not a cap wizard but, I see other teams getting creating to keep sign their players (lookin at you Saints). I feel like we shore him up at market value, or get creative (within reason) to keep him around. Then all we have to worry about is between the tackles and I feel like we have some good building blocks there. If we're desperate to make room, id move on from Morse to save some money and try to keep Mongo too. *side note* I'm not breaking the bank for Milano, and I'd try to redo Brown. Lots of fat to be trimmed on the D-line, including trying to redo Hughes. I digress.

It's called life, and it's difficult even in the best of times. Anyone with any self awareness will question the decisions they've made over their lives at some point. It's not that anything he's saying is untrue, it's that he seems soo surprised by it, or rather that we should be surprised by these things. I mean, no your co-workers are not your family despite what successes and hardships you've had to endure together. People that have to invest soo much time into their professions often feel lonely or unsatisfied after their careers end. There are countless hard and dangerous jobs pout there that pay a fraction of the pay, give me a break. Maybe he's familiar with the armed forces, or with fire or policemen; linemen, oil or gas industry workers, heavy construction etc. etc. etc. He sounds like a child with zero perspective. He probably thinks he's a hero for typing this up from the comfort of his mansion. 💩

Teams typically don't pick a guy @ #9 that will need significant help (Big 1T) to have an impact on the game. By that measure alone he's been a big disappointment. I'm certain they envisioned Oliver to play more like Kyle than not. While he is not a "bad" player this was a big miss @ #9. Edmunds is a mystery to me. You would think being that tall and having that wingspan he'd be tipping and touching alot more balls on the field. He also really struggles to get off blocks and seems to shoot the wrong gap more often than the right one. I also have a hard time understanding why he struggles in coverage soo much, he's fast, long, tall, they say he has good instincts and is smart, I don't get it. IDK, apparently Star was the lynchpin to Edmunds and Oliver improving / maintaining? It's safe to say both picks have not lived up to their billing at this time.

We can agree to disagree but the NFL has historically been littered with guys that put up stats and never win. And Yes, I'd certainly Rivers, Ryan, and Stafford in that category too. None of them are HOF type QB's contrary to what alot of people may think. That in my book makes them overrated. I understand you are very passionate about this but to ask for the basis of a common subject thats debated widely across the league is silly. You can make your case and I have made mine, the peanut gallery can fall where they may. I say he's overrated and a simple google search reveals I'm not in any way the minority here. Go Bills!

Dak is the most overrated QB in the game. I'll eat crow if he wins something, until then... Overrated

And by all accounts a decent man and role model for the kids he'll soon be coaching. 👍

With the old logo, the standing Buffalo!

I thought we were hiring the cheapest of the leftovers that would have taken any available job under any circumstance. 👀

I felt Beane made the right moves at the time. In hindsight, I wonder if we could have found a way to keep them both over Murphy and Jefferson. I know we would have had to renew them both, but they didn't break the bank, and we do have the highest paid D-Line in the league. There could have been worse moves than shoring up a solid young DE. Maybe we even do something different with the Epenesa pick then. I'm probably splitting hairs and I'm aware that there are alot more moving parts in these scenarios to consider, but If you asked me now, Lawson and Phillips or Murphy and Jefferson? it's a no brainer. Im not complaining or condoning, just pondering. Go Bills!

John Brown if he's ready to come off Covid Protocol. We can leave Gabe where he's at and slide JB in the slot if Cole is out. JB is more than capable of handling that.

He said "Get Jiggy" at the end ha... pretty old skool lol.

Im not trying to bash on Knox. I was rooting for him to succeed but I think it's clear at this point that he's not the answer. Kroft may not be here next year, but hes more reliable at this point. With so much on the line this year, a little more reliability from the position is probably a better option. Idk the status of Sweeney these days, but I think its clear we need to address this in the off season either way. As for the #2 cb, again we can do better, but Dane has been promising and the combination of him and Wallace doesn't lose me sleep this year. IDK if Norman stays, I could do without him for what he brings, but McBeane will definitely want more competition here next year. Go Bills!

Tomlinism; "If were talking to a guy about catching the ball that is employed to catch the ball, that is a problem" Tyler Kroft and Dane Jackson for starters. Maybe the draft and free agency next year. There, plan in place.
