I'm a huge fan of his! Bugs Bunny that is.

Blocking in the back (and losing 10 yards) when the PR is calling a fair catch drives me nuts too.

Congrats Matt. Please use the "Doctor's Creed" in your ST coaching. "First do no harm". I mean this not only from the squib kick controversy. I have always believed in solid, safe, ST play trumps trying to have big plays on STs. There is way too much turnover of players on ST so teach them to be smart first.

I so agree with you. Cody Ford had potential but it seemed if anything he regressed. Don't know if it's all physical traits that are bad with him or if it's "in between his ears" but he'll get one more shot with a proven coach. If he can't improve during the summer with Kromer as OL coach he may not be on the roster in the fall. Tyrod was QB so who knows. LOL. If I remember correctly, it seemed good for the first 3 or 4 seconds and then not so good for the next 6.

When Heath was hired he brought very little ST coaching experience. I thought it was a bit strange McDermott went with him. I mean Matt Smiley brings a lot more experience than Heath does. Like I said if they don't have anyone who is much more qualified I'm fine with Matt getting a chance too.

Matt Smiley has been an Assistant ST coach since 2013 and with the Bills since 2017. Maybe it's time for him to get his shot. That is unless some proven ST coordinator is wanting to work for a winner.

Not happening. I would however consider Bills trading their #1 for JAX #2 and their 2nd 3rd they got from Carolina.

I do know that new HCs can start offseason workouts 2 weeks before the rest of the league. If that helps. https://operations.nfl.com/gameday/nfl-schedule/2022-important-nfl-dates/ April 4 Clubs that hired a new head coach after the end of the 2021 regular season may begin offseason workout programs. April 18 Clubs with returning head coaches may begin offseason workout programs

Yes. But if he stays for this year they take a $9.27M cap hit this year and then the $2.6M next year. That's about $12M for his part time play. If they outright cut him they take a $7.7M to be done with it. That is why I keep saying the Bills should try to work out a retirement deal. Let him keep his signing bonus that they already paid him in return for him giving up his $2.5M guaranteed salary this year. His cap hit this year would be $5.2M and cap savings would be $4M.

If he plays the full season this year the Bills are still on the hook for his $2.6M signing bonus cap hit next year.

Smart move by Daboll. Davis would make more on their roster holding a clipboard than on the Bills PS. Webb helping Daniel Jones with Daboll's playbook would be worth the spot.

The other thing is if Star is on the team this year he gets paid and has the cap hit not only for this year. They will owe another $2.6M next year. I've been a fan of Star earlier in his Bills tenure but now it looks to me like it's throwing good money after bad.

I said it before, his heart is not in the game and he should retire.

Really? I got no problem with it at all.

Stepfon and Dion get 160 purple chips to mess around with in Vegas. Not a bad payday if you can get the work.

Diggs with the TD! LOL!

Jones just threw a nice TD to Renfrow.

I do like the number side of the game and usually leave the "who" to those who know more about that than I. My job before retiring was all about presenting numbers and options to my upper management and let them make the hard choices. Although to do that properly you have to have a decent idea how that management thinks. When it comes to having some fun with all this I try to anticipate what Beane might be thinking. Beane restructured $17M last year and opened up another $6M is paycuts. I can see him doing that much again this year and maybe a bit more. It seems to me this year once again has a limited amount of cap chasing a lot of FAs. So there could be some bargains for a team like Buffalo to sign some decent players even with a tight cap. What I wish I knew is what the leagues GMs think the "big bump" in cap could be after the new TV contracts are signed for 2023.

An extreme example is the Chiefs and Orlando Brown last season. He signed a $3.4M one year contract. Spotrac has his FA value at $23.3M this year. Whether or not people think he's worth that, he sure is getting a lot more than $3.4M.

Could there be an argument made that the play designs minimized YAC? I'm not saying it's the only reason just asking.

There does seems to some evidence that they can pick out CB talent very well. If that is the case, you make a great point.

Could very well be true RP.

With the cap getting lowered due to Covid it seems a lot of FAs were underpaid last year. While I have just started comparing last year to this year it seems to me that there is limited amount of money chasing a lot of FAs again this year. I'm hoping Beane can find some good players for a reasonable cost.

While a good argument could be made that $9M is too high it just shows that generally speaking FAs are often overpaid. While there are exceptions to every rule the age old view of building through the draft and use FAs to plug holes with a select small number of high dollar FAs seems to be true. Well, true to me IMO.

I guess for me I do care. I care about the quality of all QBs in the AFCE. Not obsession but I will for some time now and in the future want to especially see NE have issues at QB. I think a better term is "revenge". Josh Allen is a Bills fan's revenge for all those Tom Brady years. So now that it seems the shoe is on the other foot I will take every win the Bills can hand the Patriots with more pleasure than most other teams. See the "term" I used above.
