Rock-A-Bye Beasley

low is one thing, but Watson is making almost nothing in base salary, that’s not common. (For example, when Josh signed his extension they lowered his 2022 cap hit to 16mil but he’s still making 4mil base salary) Another thing I just put together is the fact that Cleveland has the most cap space in the league by about 20mil. Wouldn’t it benefit them to front-load a big contract at this point? Its indefensible from every angle I can think of.

I believe it’s a combination of laziness and ignorance. Same people call Epenesa, Espinoza.

I’m up watching that

Hopefully we finally get a decision by the NFL on the suspension soon. I just want to say if there’s any chance that Deshaun Watson is reading this, Hey quit stealing my moves!

Ah sorry I was being sarcastic. Couldn’t find the sarcasm emoji at 6am

you must not be watching. When I watch the Bills on defense I see a huge tall man with loooong arms blocking any footballs from getting past him in the middle of the field.

I think the fans saying “The Bills are going to win it this year” or something similar are in denial about how bad the 13 seconds collapse was. There’s no reason for a Buffalo sports fan to ever be that confident, but I’m seeing a lot of it. I think 13sec is to blame. If the Bills win this year 13sec will be mostly forgiven (even though it shouldn’t bc then they could be going for a 3-peat in 2023) , so they’re just skipping to that feeling. The Sabres had double the odds to land McDavid than the Bills have to win the SB this year. Just to put it in perspective. What do you think their odds were with 13 seconds left?

Buffalo gets significantly more precipitation than any of those cities

I like Joe Marino and I listen to the podcast pretty much everyday. Of course he has a couple takes I disagree with. One that comes to mind is that you shouldn’t blame Beane for the Wyatt Teller trade. It’s not the end of the world but it was a mistake. There’s nothing wrong with admitting that. Beane has done a lot more good than bad. The reason I bring that up is because this Edmunds podcast is another case of Joe being too much of a homer to be objective. You can hear it in his voice. Even when he talks about the negatives he immediately makes excuses for TE. He puts far too much value in Edmunds’ length and unprovable theories about what opposing QBs are thinking. Having longer arms is negligible when you take a wrong step in coverage and are a couple feet out of position. Here’s a perfect example where the arms don’t help because they’re attached to a body that is in the wrong spot: https://www.chiefs.com/video/touchdown-travis-kelce-uses-double-move-on-tremaine-edmunds I know it’s the best tight end in football but it’s just an example of what Edmunds does far too often.

there you go with age again. Saffold and Bates are much better guards than Edmunds is a lb. I know some people don’t agree, which is fine. I also think Ilb is a harder position to play especially in McDermott’s system, but my point stands. there is much more potential to improve by replacing edmunds than replacing either of those guards. RT is the only other position close to as weak. Brown had a terrible game against the Chiefs, and if you couldn’t tell I’m not giving credit for youth in this equation.

Not only is it a pretty good assumption that it’s saffold and bates, but there’s pretty good depth behind them with Ford and Quesssenberry (sp?) potentially

This reality. The super bowl window is open and Edmunds is our weakest starter imo. In that case they need to tag and trade him after this season

In league history there have been: Plenty of good 32 year old linebackers. Plenty of good 24 year old linebackers. Edmunds isn’t one of them though. You Edmunds apologists really are obsessed with age. btw, London Fletcher left Buffalo for Washington at 32yo. He played another 7 seasons including 4 consecutive pro bowls, which were the only selections of his career

I think it will be tougher to find someone as good as or better than Poyer over the next 3 seasons. Edmunds is replacement level IMO. Bobby Wagner would have been a huge upgrade and a top 100 pick has a good chance of being as good or better. It’s possible to sign all 3 (Poyer, Edmunds, Oliver) as they’re already making decent money. Despite Josh’s raise in 2023, Bills will be able to create cap space once again. Around 60mil can be cleared by restructures/extensions alone. They hopefully won’t have much dead cap while they currently have over 16mil. Those factors, plus the cap going up will make the cap situation much better than most Bills fans are fearing. Unfortunately, we have to hear how money is tight for another year from fans.

Brown hasn’t practiced this offseason and was terrible against the chiefs. He had some good games and I hope he can develop but he’s no guarantee.

Years ago I did the same thing but worse. I was driving a 24' box truck from Brooklyn to Connecticut for a moving job in a snowstorm. It took so long to get there and I had to go #2 badly so at the exit for the house I parked at a pump and ran into the gas station bathroom. Grabbed some drinks from the store and the other workers were in there so I asked if either of them had pumped the gas yet and they said no. It was basically a blizzard out there, so I think that combined with having a near bathroom emergency messed with my head a bit and I filled the tank with gas instead of diesel. Still no excuse really. Now we got to the house and unloaded everything, but I kept the truck running because of the weather conditions. Made it all the way back in the storm with some zero vis conditions and traffic at times. Parked the truck and didn't learn of my mistake until about a week later when someone else went to use the truck. Had to pay $450 because the company paid half I believe which was nice. Thank god I left the truck running or we would have stranded in a customer's driveway in a blizzard.

That was the same guy you were replying to about the consent comment. He's strangely silent now.

oh so now it was consensual?! You keep changing what you think happened as more evidence, new accusers, and even his lawyer admitting “non-guilt” comes out. But you always seems to give Watson as much or more benefit of the doubt that any reasonable person could. At this point I have gathered enough evidence as to make a decision on your morality

I remember similar threads before last season, and again during the season. Especially after we lost the season opener to the Steelers. Poor coaching was considered the main reason we lost to the Chiefs in the AFCCG. Many on here predicted against hope that McDermott would be the Bills’ downfall/Achilles heel/weakest link in 2021. Now one year later those same people were proven 100% correct. In an almost unbelievable way, all their fellow fans can do is hurl insults. The fans that have been skeptical of McDermott were right and are right even though they wish they weren’t. I hope I’m wrong but I’ll say the same thing I said last offseason. Having to overcome the type of in-game coaching mistakes McDermott is likely to make, makes it extremely unlikely to win the super bowl. We had a perfect quarterback in the playoffs and still couldn’t do it. +700 to win it all is about 12.5% chance. We likely won’t ever have as good a chance as we did with those 13 seconds left and the guy in charge took that from us.

If he has his weight under control why was he at Poutine and Cream on Hertel last week 😏

I know two people who have met Dareus. One is a former neighbor who drives UberXL. He said he’s the only Buffalo athlete he has driven that tipped him. The only other one he mentioned that he drove was Eichel fwiw. My cousin worked the door at DBGBs on Allen. Apparently they had more famous people come through there than you’d think. He said Dareus was the nicest of any of them. He would go there for wings a lot.

People keep saying if we win the SB it will erase the pain of 13 seconds. But did it hurt saints fans any less when Diggs caught the Min miracle or the no-call PI because they already won one? Or the INT in the SEA V NE super bowl? Even if we win one I’m still gonna be pissed we don’t have two

as for Jets, Idk Johnson fell for a reason and Breece Hall is a running back. I ain’t scared of no running back including Henry. I think the lions did well in the first getting Hutchinson after Jax passed. Then trading up to get Williams by only giving up and 3rd and swapping 2nds. Not sure about their other two picks but pascal has a high RAS

Not in a couple games last year. Maybe save the roster spot for another linebacker

Jones actually throws a decent deep ball, it just doesn’t have much zip. Against most other safeties that Hyde int is a beautif TD pass.
