  1. I literally made the same comparison a few days ago in the FA thread. He will never live up to whatever contract he signs IMO
  2. Waters only played with Montana for 2 seasons. I think Roger Craig would have been the better RB to stick there. Also, I believe Faulk only played one season with Manning. Edgerrin James was the play next to Manning.
  3. He just might. He's definitely got the personality. I could even see Dawkins appearing along side him in a skit.
  4. Are you kidding? Some people here still wanna run the K-Gun, bring back Jerry Hughes and we will likely see threads about bringing back Poyer.
  5. To play devils advocate a bit, the Bills took a $31M dead cap hit to trade Diggs. And while it's true it was to get rid of an obvious headache of a player, it shows Beane doesn't view dead cap as a nonstarter issue. I don't expect to see him traded nor do I think I would unless a team made a crazy generous offer for a guy that has been injured so often. I DO expect the Bills to approach him for a pay cut however.
  6. SPOTRAC is a fun site. It's often way wrong as well. They take into consideration what a contract would look like in comparison with guys that produced along the same level. Trouble is that contract projection gets blown up once it's not just one team offering a contract. Once a guy hits the open market and teams start bidding the price will drive up. Justin Jefferson, I believe is making $35M. Chase will sign likely for that or slightly north of that. I expect some WR needy team with cash (Hello New England) to come in around $32 AAV for Higgins. And here's the thing, he will never live up to that contract. He's a good WR. But to me he has a Peerless Price stank about him. Great #2 who shines as long as a true #1 is across the field.
  7. Achane is explosive. But I doubt he ends up leading the Fins in carries or yards next year. Guy is made of glass. Jaylen Wright, their 4th rounder from last year will end up playing more IMO.
  8. No. But you CAN replace Taco Tuesday with Tofu Tuesday in the cafeteria and wait for him to quit
  9. I would extend Shakir now. His price will likely only increase and we could get a better value doing it this year. I actually think he could be had cheaper than that stated 19.3M. I let Benford walk. Yes he's blossomed into a great corner. However the last few games and recently hired DB coaching seems to imply a shift from zone to more man. He's not the same fit in a man defense IMO. 22.6M is a big contract. Someone else will pay him handsomely. He would likely meet a 3rd round comp pick...and for a former later rounder....this is a heck of a win. Bernard is a tough one. Flashed 2 years ago and this year I thought he played well at times but also took a step back. Was it injury? Being asked too much? Not having Hyde and Poyer behind him to help? Maybe a combination. But at 6.7M that's not a horrible price and at that number, I extend. It may be said Cook is at 10.2M, however it seems pretty well documented he's looking for more. If he could be had at 10.2M, I'm with it for a re-sign of 2-3 years. If he sticks at or near that 15M ask, I'm calling ing Dallas to see what Jerry would offer up...
  10. Chris Ivory was atrocious for the Bills, Mike Tolbert, Bryce Brown, Kelvin Benjamin... What about Al Cowlings? Vlad Ducasse...Kelly Stoffer...
  11. Is this the guy that made Milano's injury worse?
  12. I like this one the best. Jest just basically publicly fired him😂😂 Would have been better if new HC Glenn went on the McAfee show and did it there.
  13. Honestly, I kinda feel like with the OLine the Steelers have, Lawrence would be a sitting duck back there. I really think they would get better value from Fields.
  14. We also would have drafted Rosen....
  15. I think if I'm the GM, I pick up the phone and call Dallas. They have an obvious RB need, need more weapons on offense period and the last time we played the Cowboys, Cook left a lasting impression and rolled all over them. I ask for a first and settle for a second. If best Dallas offers is a 3rd I keep shopping him or keep him knowing I'd probably end up with a 3rd-4th round comp pick the following year for him. I'd draft a back with similar skill set and double down in the FA market for a guy like JK Dobbins if he hits FA. I like Cook a lot. But I like him a lot less at $15M per season.
  16. Most of us have lost loved ones who never got to see the Bills win the big one. And none of us are getting younger. Sorry for your loss tho. And preaching? Imagine saying something on a public opinion board and someone having an opposing view and you feeling like it's "preaching". Maybe this place isn't for you. Try Pinterest? And simply put the whole "this staff gets one more year" rhetoric fans have is absolutely hysterical. A year from now if they didn't win...what are you gonna do about it? I know this may be a tough pill to swallow....but unless you are indeed Terry Pegula's burner account your opinion (as well as anyone else's on this platform) on the longevity of the coaching staff employment is irrelevant.
  17. It's definitely worth the price of admission.
  18. $19M cap hit. Chiefs save $17M from letting him go. They have that Noah Grey that looks like he could break out. So replacement is in place May not be his decision to come back. Only way I see KC bring him back is at a pay cut, but then that may motivate him less to come back at all.
  19. Great news. He carved out a nice role for himself last year. Looking forward to the continuity on the OL this year.
  20. No. No I would not. I would consider but a missed opportunity for the city. But in the scope of sports it's possible to both not win a Championship and have a successful run. Especially because of the level of talent currently at the top of the AFC that they are stacked up against year in and year out. The Bills going from 17 years outside the playoffs to 5 straight division championships and 2 AFCCG appearances May not be the level of success we desire to see the team achieve...but it is success nonetheless. Brushing off the accomplishments of the team during this run just because they didn't win it all is such a self sabotaging outlook IMO. Everyone is free to feel different on this. I totally see the other side of the coin so to speak. But being thankful for a buck shot of other goals achieved is a good thing too.
  21. Furthermore, I don't know if he's back with the Chiefs next year even if he does come back. Kelce carries a $19M cap hit. Of which the Chiefs save $17M if they cut him. With Noah Grey looking like a potential breakout candidate and Kelce taking steps back (though still was able to put up top 5 TE numbers) it may just be time to move on. The only way I see him back in KC is on a significantly reduced salary, which in my opinion would motivate him even less to play. There may be legs to this storyline this off season.
  22. Hall of Fame, one of the all time best. Extremely successful career. How successful? It's 30 years later and he's still talked about. How do you look at Trent Dilfer's career?
  23. What a weird kind of ultimatum. Are the Bills in contention every year? Yes. Are they in the playoffs every year? Every year sans one under McDermott. Are they profitable? Yes. 5 straight division championships. That's a winning team. Fans are absolutely delusional sometimes. The "Super Bowl or we are losers" mentality held by fans is not the reality of how an ownership approaches it. This year we had a first time play caller on defense. An OC that took over for his first full year putting his offense in. Traded our #1 WR. Our best boundary WR this year was MACK HOLLINS. Gutted our defense, lost many players that had a leadership role...and still came within 3 points of beating the (at the time )2 time defending champions in their house in the AFCCG. This last year was a WIN considering many both here and in the media predicted a third place division finish and no playoffs. It's really ironic people are claiming he's "on the hot seat" coming off a year where he probably had his best season as a coach. I get it. Change is sometimes needed when you aren't number one. But change for change sake often leads to failure. Who are you replacing him with? And how does the team look once said coach comes in, hires 2 new coordinators, guts the roster a bit to get guys who fit his systems?
