"Garcon’s release leaves behind $7.2M of dead cap to the #49ers, clearing $1.525M of cap space." Wow. That doesn't exactly say the 49ers think highly of him!

I laugh at how so many of you think draft picks are some sacred prizes. The higher you draft, the better the chance the players pans out, the better the ODDS, no guarantees at all. AB is a PROVEN top receiver, one of THE best. Voted #2 overall best player in 2017 by his peers behind Brady. Of course, all his other issues sure factor in the decision process. Also matter the remaining years in the contract, pay vs cap space and blablabla. But overall a 1st round draft pick is an educated gamble that you can get someone very good or great. And often that player is average or a bust. So trading a pick for a proven player? A no-brainer unless the other factors mentioned don't make sense.

Ha ha. I'm an SOD fan and never made the connection with his last name. Good find. He has a better 2nd year than his first which was already beyond expectations. The LB and secondary are top level. DLine could be improve in the middle? It's awesome that most of the focus for the FA and draft can be on the offense. The same defense with a better offense is already a better defense!

I think it's Boomer Esiason that called Josh "must see TV" and he is right. Dude was an highlight machine and is just plain exciting. He's got desire, charisma, and quite the arm and legs. With wins the media WILL get back on the Bills wagon. Sure a small city is often ignored but a 17 year drought and a losing season by October don't exactly help. Even if you forgot trends, we could see his improvements, and this time he will clearly be #1 and rep with the starters from day one of training camp. Chemistry between QB and receivers is NOT overrated.

I have really high expectations of Josh and the Bills next year, especially if Beane can produce. Not as easy as it sounds to draft and sign FA impact players on OL and WRs - not many are available and 50% of the teams are competing for them. They are not on a shelf just waiting to be taken as so many fans seem to imply. But he'll try, and the defense can be as good if not better with Milano, Edmund, White all having more experience, safeties still top notch, etc. Add more experience also by McD and Daboll, and the future is bright. Sure the pressure is on. We expect great things as soon as 2019. It might not be realistic but it is what it is. Injuries and bad luck can always derail a season and a good plan but come on, the odds are in the Bills favor for once. And to me Allen is the real deal already. I can't remember being as pumped this century! And the draft and free agents signing have not even started! A LOT rides on Beane, no doubt.

Sweet video. It sure got me pumped. A baller.

I don't go for the male strippers, I go for the great conversations and classy beers. OK, some of the food too. Brady and Bellichick are the best ever. I still was rooting against them. I don't think I'm the only one surprised they won this year. If another team, we'd be calling them a surprise upset team. I still can't grasp how their D became so great and their D line suddenly one of the best. Great schemes or not, it makes no sense. Brady was very clutch but besides that a glamour game manager (this year, not all his career!). It disgusts me they won but they made it happen. You can give them credit yet wish them a losing season. I just want the Allen led Bills to beat them twice (or thrice!) a year for a few years before Father Time does the job

What I don't get, is for all the Gurley-Goff-receivers talk, their offensive line was as dominant as you can get. Sure BB can scheme as good or better than anyone, but how come the Rams OLine couldn' make holes for the run or pass protect better? Schemes help, a lot, but still, that's a head scratcher. The Pat's D Line suddenly became one of the best during the playoffs. And who else was screaming at the TV at the end of the first half? Why didn't McVay use his two timeouts? The Pats* were at their own 2 yard line. Brady took a knee so was now at the 1. With 2 timeouts, it meant 2 more plays from the one! A safety was really possible as even kneel downs become problematic frm the one yard line. And it was only 3-0 at that point. I didn't hear commentator mention that then nor since.

When you're in a place or festival or show with no waits at the pit stop and a place to wash your hands, you feel like you just came out of an uncivilized barbarian land you had lived all your life before. By ourselves with manage, adapt, conquer. But add young kids to the equation and all the nasty stuff really annoys on another level

Tyrod was mostly all class, but not all the time, and his pulling of the race card DID leave a bad taste. Especially since I feel the NFL and the media have a positive bias towards Black QBs, not a negative one! Look at how they gush at Lamar Jackson, like they did for RG3, Vick and so many that got the cover of mags and video games... He couldn't dislodge Flacco yet Jackson just did (with the same HC), couldn't last here and was ousted in Cleveland, without a doubt about who is #1 there. For a running QB, Josh just outdid him in 10 games. And on and on. That being said, he is a real "bridge QB" that could start for about 8-10 of the 32 teams. In any case, he had a real chance in Buffalo, took it and sure made serious $$$$ for his production. I suspect he wasn't the brightest bulb and that's why he couldn't progress in his reads after years of experience and why coaches never connected with him.

FRAT. Not reading all of it! But this is so spot on: "But the urinal trough? The apparatus is a large, communal urinal that offers an egalitarian, and highly efficient, method of elimination while forcing men to pee like cattle -- shoulder-to-shoulder, with zero privacy, and often while facing each other's junk. Few things evoke our deep, strange, love-hate relationship with stadium bathrooms like the urinal trough" Those were nasty. I'm glad they're mostly all gone. Yeah I suspect a meatgazer was the designer for that thing.

Even in a semi-serious fun contest, most people will criticize and complain LOL If it happens I'll watch it for sure. If it doesn't, it just doesn't. But yeah they need to add some targets and stuff to make it more fun, and to make it last more than 5 minutes.

I'll be rooting for him I agree... though they did contribute to Incognito's breakdown. Contribute, not create it nor are they the main culprit, Richie is. But to this day I don't get the salary cut to a guy that was THE money player in the run game. If you can't tell they missed him big time this year, I don't know what game you are watching. Ask Shady.

YESSSSSSS I was happy to see Tom say it, and even more so that so many other Bills fans think the same. I want an Allen led Bills team to win against the Brady-BB combo before Father Time takes them out or they retire. It won't make up for all the losses but still, a sweet way to put a bandaid on the huge gash. Grow a pair some of you fans LOL It's NOT two automatic losses!

I too applaud applaud this and can't grasp the negativity! This is AWESOME news. As for every driven person, especially young ones, Josh must not burn himself out, whether his arm or mentally, but besides that, great news. Even more so with McD communicating with Palmer!

I hate the Patriots as certainly most of us on here (doh!), but the review was clear to me. Edelman didn't touch the ball. Yes in one angle it seems to graze his thumb but in another one you can see it clearly does not. By combining the two angles it was clear evidence.

NO! I want the Allen led Bills to be a force and beat the Bellichick-Brady led Cheats 2 (or 3...) times a year BEFORE Father Time does it and or they just retire. Not greedy, just the next 2-3 years then they can retire

Exactly! Defenses and special teams are part of the team too. No wonder the Patriots captains yelled "WE WANT THE BALL" with the Chiefs' mix of awesome offense and horrible defense

It was so awfully obvious that a player could have told him or someone on the sideline yell at him. It cost them a trip to the Superbowl. Cheatriots play well, awesome coaching TBH, but again a huge mistake by the opponents gift them a win. Crazy!

Not AS critical, but there are a LOT of holes to fill, and that will take quite a few loaded contracts. Just like the Bills were in cap hell in 2018 and will be in cap heaven in 2019, it can also quickly switch the other way around.

I don't think anyone is saying having Star or some good DT is a bad thing! Just that in a salary cap sport, overpaying for a player is not a good deal for the team overall.

YESSSSS Though this year, seems to me Brady has become a (super) manager type QB. It's actually the supporting cast, certainly including the superior coaching and schemes, that does the grunt of the winning.

It says in the story "Incognito was so freaked out when he learned about the post on Feb. 22, he hopped in a car with his dad, brother and dog and drove north from Scottsdale, Arizona, for two hours to meet an FBI agent at a safe house" Didn't I read on here of Richie losing his mind at his father's funeral last offseason? Or do I need to get checked in as well? Edit: Ha! I now realize it was on Feb 22, so before his dad died. How come it only makes the news now?

I want him to play and lose. Like I want the Allen led Bills to beat them twice a year... before Father Time does it, which is coming soon. I'd really prefer the Bills to be beat a "full on Brady-Belichick" team then a diminished one. You want to hear the damn excuses? I respect Brady and co. Just think Belichick, for all his HUGE talent, is a serious cheater. See the stats in the playoffs? 20-3 at home, 3-4 on the road. Or this year, 3-5 on the road. Is it that they cannot pick signals or spy as well? Their crowd is not that noisy or such a factor.

Don't see the difference? They are MEN not teens or boys. His momma is a lawyer wasn't she? And the NFL, while certainly not fully transparent by any means, is still quite a public place with a spotlight on it 80% of the times, including most practices, journalists in the locker room, etc. And you can actually request a trade and still work in the NFL, at your craft. Unlike in most work places or schools. Big differences to me indeed. The main question here if this story is true: how come we know this, and how come RI knows this?
