They all made the playoffs as Bills. Imo not eligible for the “Drought” Team. Great players but have all made the playoffs.

It didn't meet the legal requirement but holding meetings specifically about the Watson contract and how to avoid that happening going forward is collusion. Then the owners senior committee advised against the practice going forward. Is a paper trail to all teams. NFLPA wanting it sealed. Head lawyer of NFLPA part of a private equity company involved in multiple NFL franchises. Allen for instances would not push for a fully guaranteed deal. If he was properly informed and bettering the game for all players he might have. That imo should be the job of the NFLPA. One less week of OTA’s and changing a decimal on THC testing shouldn't be the headline news. Im not super invested but in July it is very interesting. It also takes a handful. Like I said Allen, Mahomes, Burrow, Jackson open the gates. Next Garret, Jefferson and other great players get it. First rd picks are starting to get fully guaranteed deals already. Slowly becomes the norm. I don't understand the purpose to agreeing to sealing the case.

Offense Qb. Fitz, Bledsoe, Orton Rb, Lynch, Jackson, Spiller WR Evans, Johnson, Price, Woods, Watkins TE Chandler, Royal OT Peters, Glenn, Jennings OG Incognito, Levitre, C Wood Defense Edge Williams, Schobel, Kelsay DT Adams, Dareus, LB Cowart, Fletcher, Spikes CB Clements, Winfield, Mcgee S Byrd, Whitner, Wilson I think Allen is such a difference at Qb. The current roster has a better Oline and think are close everywhere else.

First need to put the All Draught team on paper. Players who played in the playoffs on the Bills are they disqualified? Kyle Williams, Mccoy, Moulds, Tyrod? Imo they dont count because they technically ended the draught or were part of previous success.

Have they? Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Burrow re upped. They don't get it no one does. During and after the Watson grievence for colliding the NFLPA should have had a league wide meeting explaining the collusion and pushed the narrative with the top players to get fully guranteed contracts. The NFLPA failed the players and worked to keep it quiet. The NFLPA showed they are a shame and a kangaroo court for the owners to push the rules they want while avoiding antitrust regulation. Im only a fan as well. Just wild the story has become. Its the weakest union in pro sports. It’s also the most lucrative league. Chet Holmgren got 250 guaranteed. Diffetent sport but fragile and often injured. Unless you severely break your leg in multiple places there are not career ending injuries.

100% NBA and MLB both stopped seasons to get what they wanted. Both greatly impacted the popularity of both. NFL is in a spot at the top and a false move would have negative impact. Players should hold out for guaranteed contracts no offset. Give up an extra game and 16 international games a year. Probaly need to give a percentage point or 2 to the owners.

Imo they always have and that is why the NFL players have the worst contract structure of every pro league.

My counter is the sport isnt played and managed in a vaccuum. Resources are limited. They have invested more into the TE and Wr rooms than RB. Now where limited resources come in. Remove positions who performed and produced the best last season comparable to the league. Allen, Dawkins, Browns, Mcgovern, Benford and without question Cook. Shakir and Bernard were extended but did not have the production Cook had. At a point you need good players. Today Cook is a better NFL back than Shakir is an NFL wr. Even with a Contract to Cook he wouldnt be the highest paid none qb on the offense or make Rb the highest paid positional group. So in terms of positional hierarchy rb would still be slotted appropriately. Without a true number WR or elite TE. Cooks value to the current roster is very high.

Vanpelt year. At the Sunday night game vs Tennessee. They won but I knew they were not going anywhere. Can’t remember if that was the Elvis Gerback, Billy Joe Holbert year or if that was the following.

All that I said is well and good, Superbowl Sunday im handing Allen the ball and going through him. Maybe pull out some plays where he is a decoy early. Come out passing to set up the run game later. Get them going left and right with naked action and motion going away from Allen. Im 100% confident Allen carries the Bills to a Super Bowl like Farve and Rodgers. That Rodgers Super Bowl win he just was on fire and the Steelers knew the plays jumped the routes and it didnt matter. Allen will do that when he gets his shot.

I saw another post about the running game limiting Allens mistakes. That and this is 100% right. Allen can do this once or twice a game and it is what makes him unstoppable. Those plays dont sustain offense. Look at the years Manning, Brees, Big Ben and other Qbs on offensive led teams had poor run games and defenses. They would have years at the top of the league in ints. Its not rocket science. They have to do more. They have to fit that window, they take the 50/50. 2/10, 3/10 plus its what you have to do. 2nd 6 and under, 3-5 and under is a different sport. I go back to Sean Payton talking about his best seasons with Brees. When as a play caller he was able to limited the times Drew had to drop back and be great. For Allen the fewer amount of times he needs a cap the better. Hand off, screens, sight quick passes. Vs this coverage this guy is open here. Those are what makes a good OC. That is what Brady is doing. Not a surprise he is from Paytons tree. The opposite is what Dorsey did and what Daboll did at the end. Allen is so good it is easy to put it all on him. But really you need to work harder to take more off of him. So when he is great it elevates the offense instead of sustains it.

Better shape than he has been in. Look at Brady even Allen do not have body builder physique. Little shorter than both so Mahomes is going to have to eat to stay at his weight.

His play design is good. The scheme works for the most part. I think being an OC and being managed himself would do wonders. Basiclly, he learned 2 jobs on the job at the same time. I think he has alot potential as an OC. HC will always be a tough ask.

Positional coach becoming a head coach. Players friend instead of leader. Super smart guy with a smart offense. As a play caller doesnt hold anything back similar to younger Reid. By October he used all his new stuff. Biggest ego on the team is Hill and the offense pacifies him. Gotta get him his shots. Unable to get players to show up on time. Fangio tried to do something about it but backed the players instead? Guy is not leader. Should be a well paid OC imo.

He was an early enrollee. Hence the semester before his freshman season. Also, why he was a minor at the time. I would advise him to settle. Doesn’t matter if he is guilty or not. He put himself in the position regardless. Its a PR issues that will cost more the longer it goes.
