Guess I wasn't referring to you then, no?

Wait what Do tell

I didn't, and it's telling that you assumed you were being referred to And we don't get to choose 100% of the people we exist around

Sure, sure. I know many people who will say that when they're calm in in "polite company" Those same folks sing a very different tune both IRL and on this board during games, after losses, or during any other Bills-related distress When people tell me who they are, I believe them

Genuinely most of the people that most vocally want him gone seem to be upset that he's a decent human being It's why they have to make up absurd character attacks or call him spineless or gutless or other things that are demonstrably untrue They want an ***hole at head coach because they themselves are miserable ***holes and they can't stand the idea of success from somebody that's actually a decent human being so he MUST be a coward and/or incompetent Shoutout to the couple of folks on here who seem to be level-headed about it but goodness you are few and far between

Our defense is fine, it's been ~average all year despite losing a ton of man hours to injury

Because sometimes opposing teams have successful drives?

I don't disagree but the Bills have a much better chance of not having a freak injury occur than getting better value than JJ out of three bottom-of-the-round picks imo

I am generally pretty risk-averse but prime JJ is absolutely worth having to have a reset year or two

Certain Bills fans are literally the only people who think that the Bills aren't a way better team than Cinci

Dang, what would it take to land him? Our draft picks our so late they're seriously devalued. I would absolutely give up the next three first-rounders, though.

Our defense is solid The run defense is rough, but overall ranks are pretty average

It's literally injuries We aren't in this position because we cut a bunch of players that couldn't hack it, we're running out of bodies due to injury I don't know why this is so hard for folks to process

This is exactly what I'm talking about He's objectively a good and impactful player, but his impact doesn't show up specifically in sacks, so he must not actually be good. If he were the high-octane pass-rusher you want him to be, he would have re-signed for 40mil+. He makes half of that, because he's merely adequate as a pass-rusher while doing everything else exceptionally well.

To do that, you need to sign those players to your active roster without them having a down in your system. Lawson comes in on a Practice Squad spot. Big difference. It's literally just injuries, in this case. We're low on bodies. This is the regular-season equivalent of bringing in players during training camp/preseason to just take reps, except unfortunately the games count.
