ColoradoBills

Just got in from enjoying the beautiful Colorado Springs weather. 70 the first week of March is nice! Started watching the combine and it's nice to hear there is value in the 3-5 round picks at TE. Any of you draft guru's got a couple of good names in the 4th round at TE? For a TE2 he's got to be a decent blocker not just a catcher.

Saints are cooked. They will be lucky to win 6-7 games this year. They are also currently $42M over the cap. But no worries they Taysom Hill at QB.

Putin turns 70 this year. I imagine he feels he is behind the curve "age wise" in becoming Russia's greatest leader in history. If he succeeds in taking over Ukraine without any repercussions, I fear he will take even greater chances in achieving his goal.

I tend to agree with your points. Someone is going to pay Wallace $9M+ per year.

Agree. Give Dawson his $8M per but I would like to see a 4-year deal.

If 1 or 150 players don't want to attend the combine it's their right not to go. If 1 or up to 32 teams think it will affect their decisions, that's their business too. The NFL is having a "job fair", show up or don't show up. If X amount don't show up and they want to invite others, do it or don't do it. Why is this a big deal?

No worries the Combine is starting in a week and a half. Then we can comment on threads about trading up from #25 to #4.

Sure, but he is going to cost a fortune. KC can't afford him. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/orlando-brown-jr-25182/market-value/

If he was committed to being the backup long term in Buffalo I would go for a 3 year deal too.

Kyle Allen would be perfect for a 2 year contract to start. Beane should really go get him. I think it's time for the Bills to get a long term young backup and Kyle definitely fits the profile.

Josh Allen is everything. So, protecting him is paramount. That means the OL is the second most important. After that everything else can be debated. IMO.

While I disagree with a lot of things the NFL has done lately, I am not losing interest at all.

Yes, QBs typically sign 4 year deals. 5 year deals with some "elite" QBs. Taking away Mahomes 10 year extremely unique deal, Josh Allen is the only 6 year deal I've ever heard of. Teams and the player have to agree to the length and we will all have to see if 5-6 (or more) years become the norm.

Yes the clock starts when a player from receiving team touches the ball "in the field of play". I don't know about "giving themselves up" ruling. A player can flop on a ball get up and start running too. Technically on a normal play clock runs until the ball carrier is touched on the ground or he runs out-of-bounds. You are right with the comment of having Bass kick short but close to the endzone. That is used a lot by the Bills. Edit: Clock only starts when receiving team touches. Kicking team cannot advance the ball.

co·or·di·na·tor /kōˈôrdənādər/ noun 1. a person whose job is to organize events or activities and to negotiate with others in order to ensure they work together effectively.

You got that right Shaw. Heath as ST coordinator should already know that the squib "should" be the call and he as STC needs to confirm that with McDermott and then make sure the kickoff team knows exactly what to do. It's Heath's job to make sure that gets done not the other way around!

Beane wants to protect Josh. How he does that we all can speculate. I'm sure Kromer is going over all the tape of all the current OL Bills players. He will report to McDermott and Beane. They will come up with the plan and pursue it. I'm sure the plan will not only be about next season but adding to the pipeline for future years. I'm happy!

I totally agree that the OL is key to the Bills success. Giving Josh another second before he needs to move or decide to run would be awesome. I'm not saying the Bills don't need great WRs BUT giving Josh time will make average receivers look good. An elite OL makes the running game and screen passes work with cheap RBs too.

Exactly. Per Josh Allen's current contract he is scheduled to make an average of $43M from 2026 thru 2028. Those years will be such a bargain. With Josh's contract all this "window" stuff concerning a QB contract will not really materialize. The Darek Carr's of the NFL will be signing for over $60M at a minimum in those years.

These Chiefs comments never get old.

What are you doing? You are going to give @muppy a heart attack!

My question would be, "does the single bye team in each conference necessarily equate to the BEST team in each conference"? If the answer is no, then why do these 2 teams get the bye in the first place? It's always been a bit of a debate, but I think the 7 playoff team/17 game schedule only compounds the issue.

As to point #1. I am not a fan of only one "bye" team at all. You pointed out one of the main reasons. The schedule already pits top conference teams to play each other every year. The 17th game adds to that with another non-conference ranked games. Every year there will be a team that just draws a much easier schedule to give them a much better chance to draw the one bye. Point #2 is a little more tricky. It can and has happened in the old playoff formula but just the mere fact of adding another playoff team gives more of a chance for a lower seeded team to win a game they probably should of lost. Football is one and out and not a "series" like in other major sports. I think it waters down the whole process. I know I'm in the minority here, but I thought the old 6 team playoff formula was as good as it could get. All this is caused by attempting to get another team in the mix with the 7 team scenario. Adding a 17th or even an 18 game schedule is a whole other question. The longer season can be debated but it seems they could of done that with still maintaining the 6 team playoff scenario. At least that is how I see it.

Well Bills fans, here's hoping the AFCCG is in Buffalo this coming season and we go from there. Go Bills.

This nightmare has a chance to go to overtime.
