Yes, Bills usually good with incentives but the Von thing may be different. He's making $45M on the Bills for less than 1,000 snaps. You don't need to be a mathematician to see that's over $45k a snap. He should sit himself down and get playoff ready IMO.

I guess I'm wondering if it will be his decision or not.

GMFB brought up Von Miller's sack incentives. If Von plays and gets 1 sack he makes another $1.5M over the $2.5M he has already secured with 5 sacks. I wonder if he plays or sits.

The D-Line will need to step up and perform above their current expectations. The DEs have to set the edge, contain the running QBs and get pressure. We have seen them able to do that at times, but it's going to be critical they bring it in the playoffs. The DTs, well Oliver, Jones and the rest have to get mean. I don't see that from them. They need to anchor this D. It all will start and end with them. Von Miller has to contribute, and he needs to get these guys fired up by example. It's the least he can do for this team. Show us some spark!

Nobody knows more that the D has to play well in the playoffs than the coaches and D players themselves. The key is to turn around the problem that has plagued this D all season. They have to get more 3rd down stops. Period.

I have no idea. I guess my point is IF it does come off it must be a good sign on his recovery progress.

He is trending very good. He still isn't 100% or he wouldn't still be wearing the brace. I'm hoping that can come off in the playoffs.

Brown 25.

I feel pretty confident that Beane can work out retaining pretty much the entire offense from this year. The $8M+ savings from Von alone will go a long way to sign Hollins, Johnson, Gilliam, Morris, Anderson and Van Demark. That brings back everyone but Cooper.

The Bills offense is very unique as others have pointed out. I for one can agree about a lack of "elite" players. However, this group seems different to offenses of the past. Playoffs can come down to a couple of plays per game. We had hoped that players like Diggs would rise up to the occasion. That didn't work out as planned. It would not surprise me that the "stars" in the playoffs this year can come from any one of these guys. The D just needs to hang in there long enough to give the O the chance to show us what they can really do. I'm looking forward to seeing how all this plays out.

That is too funny.

I'm wondering about that. Maybe they just go with Trubisky and if something bad happens they use their disaster QB. Knox or someone else can take the snaps. It might be better to use that slot for someone who plays the full game. FWIW.

Evidently the OL is involved in this too. It's a wonderful strategy. With that in mind, Josh and by extension the entire team knows the regular season's goal is to get into the playoffs. BUT the ultimate goal is success in the playoffs. I am totally convinced that a lot of plays that worked during the season have not been overused and are being saved for appropriate times that are coming. Josh has confirmed this. I will wait to see what Brady has in store for the playoffs. I'm thinking it could be very special.

The question is, how many and which starters will be on the inactive list? ALL of the depth players have to be active. Once the coaches determine that, they can look at the remaining players and decide who best to elevate from the PS.

All of the Jets woes is just amplified with Sam Darnold saying, "How do you like me now!".

Patriots have $132M in cap space AND will get all those high picks. They are looking good. Draft picks can also be traded for established players.

Dion coming into the stadium yesterday.

Obviously.

I'm willing to bet that Beane and OBD have nothing etched in stone yet. There is no huge rush right NOW.

I'm not so sure Beane is ready for an $80M slot receiver contract just yet. They playoffs and what Shakir's agent if thinking will have a lot to do with the timing. Shakir and his agent would be smart to go for that money. Beane would jump on it. They also have to know with the Bills style of play the Bills do not NEED to re-sign him. If Shakir's reps are too adamant during the spring, I expect a 2nd round WR to be taken.

Milano is still not 100%. If he was, he wouldn't still be wearing a brace. I'm curious if that thing will come off for the playoffs. He seems to still be trending up so I am very hopeful for how much of an impact he can be going forward. Just to do a recap. It seems that the Bills did the wise thing and let Matt work his way back. He was a liability to start with BUT it just may have been worth it in the long run.

Shakir is not getting an extension offer anytime soon. He has a playoff run first. Then another season to play with probably another playoff season to go through. Nobody will know his worth until then. Not even you.

The difference between the 1st and say the 4th or 5th (if they win) for EVERY round of the draft is huge. The Pats front office will try their best to dump the game to the Bills 2nd stringers. As a Bills fan, I want the Bills to win BUT won't be too sad if the opposite happens.

2023 Bills scored 451 points in 17 games. 2024 Bills scored 506 points in 16 games, so far. 2nd and 3rd stringers will be playing the last game. These are stats that matter to me.

You're probably right, probably a little more than $3M, but he also is playing under incentives, and they should keep it that way. There is a whole lot of 29+ year olds playing for less. I don't think he will be $5M.
