Von Miller didn't have a big reaction after his ACL tear. He was kneeling on the field and walking around on the sideline before he was carted off

Benford is an interesting player, I think Bills fans tend to over-rate him and the rest of the NFL tends to under-rate him. ESPN put together a survey of NFL execs, coaches, and scouts to rank the top 10 CBs for the coming season. Benford did not make the top 10, and in fact, didn't receive even a single vote (29 players received votes). https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45531014/top-10-nfl-cornerbacks-execs-scouts-2025-espn-jeremy-fowler-position-rankings I think he's an above average starter, but not really elite. I could see him in the top 20, but not a whole lot higher than that.

Yep, the only honorable mention to miss our Mt Rushmore is Wade Phillips.

I have a different interpretation on the snap counts. Von got to cherry pick his snaps and ONLY played on obvious passing downs. Coming in fresh with easy pass rushing opportunities he really should've produced more than he did.

He was great for 11 games before the injury. Can't really hate him for his production falling off a cliff after that. I can hate him for choking out his fiancee though

BUMP Here's a different ranking that has McD outside the top 10. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2025-nfl-head-coach-rankings-eagles-nick-sirianni-lions-dan-campbell-make-leaps-behind-chiefs-andy-reid/ He made the top tier, but was in last place of that tier at 12th overall. I think that's pretty fair

The tweet was incorrect when it said 'opt out'. Stewart hasn't signed a contract with the Bengals yet so there's nothing to opt out of. Eli Manning threatened something similar, but the Chargers traded him within minutes of drafting him. I don't think anyone has actually sat out a season to get re-drafted since the 80's. It's too much of a financial sacrifice to refuse to sign the contract, sit out an entire year, and hope to get re-drafted next year. 1) He would fall significantly in the draft. Rather than a 1st round pick rookie contract (~19 mil over 4 years) he's probably looking at more like a 4th round rookie contract (~5 mil over 4 years). 2) He wouldn't be able to sign a 2nd contract until 2030 instead of 2029 - missing a year of prime earnings. It's hard to imagine a player giving that up over language in a contract. He would have to really, really, really hate the Bengals.

I think most Bills fans would agree that the 2021 season was our best team and chance of winning the SB. From Barnwell's perspective I can see why he wouldn't want to include an 11-6 team that lost in the divisional round. I don't think it's a stretch to say we had the best 11 win team in NFL history (in 16/17 game regular seasons). +194 point differential. All 11 wins by 12+ points. 5 of the 6 losses by only 1 score. The best offensive playoff game in NFL history (not to mention it was against that seasons #2 overall defense coached by Bill Belichek). With even a little bit of luck in close games we would've had 14+ wins and made at least the AFCCG. Tre got hurt in the Thanksgiving game vs Saints. DEF was still pretty good after that with only 2 bad games out of the next 8 (OT loss to Bucs and of course 13 seconds).

Tyrod would be ineligible since he was the one that ended the draught. I think people on here are kinda sleeping on Drew Bledsoe. Guy had his weaknesses for sure, but if you put him on the all-draught team with a strong O-line throwing to those weapons he'd be great.

Jalen Hurts is probably the most chiseled QB in the league atm.

Immigrant Song is a banger and fitting for us as a land of ice and snow. As long as the Minnesota Vikings aren't using it we should go and claim it.

The Ravens have had 2 bye weeks. Since 2019 they've lost 1 championship game, 3 divisional, and 1 Wild card (Lamar DNP). Lamar was injured most of the year they missed the playoffs Bills have lost 2 championship game, 3 divisional, and 1 wild card in the same time frame.

Am I the only one confused about Beane calling it a "Title IX thing" ? Title IX is about gender equality in sports, I don't see why it would apply to allegations of sexual assault

Yes, she reported it in 2021, it was investigated by police, and no charges were brought. The precedence that Roger Goodell has set is that since this happened prior to the player being in the NFL then the NFL will not suspend the player for it. Doesn't mean that Roger can't change his mind, but I'd say it's highly unlikely the league would suspend him.

Blaming it all on Frazier is an interesting choice. We've gotten the same defensive results in the playoffs whether it was Frazier, McD himself, or Babich as DC. The defense was painfully vanilla in the playoffs the last 2 years under McD/Babich. That would lead me to believe that McD has always been the decision maker for defensive philosophy.
