Special teams was…special…like short bus special.

He’s literally the only defender on this team that can pressure the QB.

McDermott game management special

Just as most of us thought…pas rush garbage, safeties garbage, secondary garbage, defense garbage.

McD is a head coach with a defensive pedigree right? Asking for a friend.

Never seen a team year in and year out lack this much discipline and make the same critical mistakes over and over.

New season, new players, same head scratching mistakes.

Literally all Josh Allen needs is WRs who can get open and catch. He had 1 WR that could do that consistently last year…Shakir

90% of statistics are made up on a whim.

Maybe there’s like 7 void years and for the next 4 years he counts $1.5M against the cap.

From the bench?

Great trade Beane 🤦🏻‍♂️

$20M per for and edge rusher is starter money not top end talent money. Full disclosure, I like Rousseau, but to this point he hasn’t been a game changer, he’s not a top end edge rusher. However, he has been great against the run…who knows maybe this is his year, he has looked great is the pre season. Agree, Oliver and TJ are very good, but the others you mentioned are just good (average to slightly above). You’re correct, Bills are not void of talent, but they are void of top end / game changing talent. Life of a Bills fan, anticipate the worst and hope for the best.

We still have the awful contracts of Von Miller, Bass, Matt Milano and Dawson Knox that all will eventually be dead cap. If this is a reset year, next year could phase two of that reset. Too many awful contracts given out to old or injury prone players.

This defense is poo. Not a single quality edge rusher (unless miller returns to form), LB dept is super suspect and our safeties have to be to worst pairing in the league. I’m not concerned at all about the offense, but this D looks void of talent.

This is almost completely wrong, the 49ers had little leverage because teams wouldn’t agree to the trade without a pre negotiated extension. There’s no doubt he took a hometown discount knowing he’s gone in 2027. He’s ring chasing with his current team, which I applaud him for. Not many players are willing to do what he did, especially on a second contract. $45M over 3 years is not a big offer for a top 5WR…not even remotely close.

This is essentially a 3yr 45Million guaranteed contract extension. Why he would sign this contract is beyond my understanding. Not a whole lot of injury insurance compared to the other top WR contracts. Plus there is no way the 49ers agree to pay him $42M in 2027. They will take dead cap hits of $9M, $4M and $14.5M (void) in 2027-2029. Major victory for the 49ers management.

Although I agree with your premise, I don’t think Simmons was the catalyst. He signed for peanuts with Atlanta, Beane coulda easily fit him within the cap. Obvious to me that the Bills are getting away from signing old players to big $ deals, it’s been a complete failure of a strategy to this point.

Hate to see it 😂

Decent option for the PS.

🤔

So maybe a conditional 7th round pick for a backup QB is the definition of insanity? Bills have a playoff caliber roster and currently zero insurance at the most important position…that’s insanity to me.

We probably hoping for Cole to do it because Rapp only lays out his teammates.

Trubisky sucks and the OP is looking to discuss a viable backup option on the cheap. I don’t get the snarky response?

No way! I’m starting to love this WR room, we quietly got better.
