    This game was winnable with the team we had out there against one of the best teams in the league.  
     

    Players who will be on this team next year simply didn’t play well enough. 

     

    Yeah they didnt play well enough today to win... i think they can still improve though with another preseason under their belts..

     

    Allens, Edmunds, Knox and Ford still learning their trades...

     

    They are still another couple of players away... a WR and DE at least needs to be added this offseason..

    I hate these threads. It's like people think we are going to win every game. We are 9-4 and in the driver seat to a wild card where anything can happen once we get there but we are still one year away? 

     

    As a Super Bowl contender yes... 1 year away

    Hind sight being ridiculously 20/20: should the Bills have picked up the 5th year on Shaq?

    20/20 hindsight says "pick Will Fuller'..or "trade down".

     

    That 1,2,3 draft of Lawson, Ragland (11 ahead of Deion Jones) and Washington was brutal..


    Three starters “right off the bus“ according to Whales...

     

    I will say though that Lawson was picked around where most of the “experts” had him before the draft that year... Didn’t seem a reach at the time..

    I’m generally all for trying to keep our draft picks and it seems like a long time that one of the Bills picks saw a 2nd contract..( although that looks likely to change the last couple of classes.)

     

    I think when they had to make the call though  he wasn’t playing up to the money..

     

    If you could decide now, they probably keep him..

     

    He is no super star but I like his attitude and his play this year... he seems a good fit in the rotation .. I wouldn’t  be against them trying to keep him although this doesn’t seem to happen a lot with the spurned 5th year player generally deciding to move on..

    I'm not debating his value to us.  I like the guy.  I'm just saying he isn't such a name or performer that I think he needs to be extended early.  Unless your point is that you think he's so good that his value will only go up if we don't lock him up earlier?


    Yeah... I guess that’s my point... 

     

    Throw him some more guaranteed dollars next year and extend him through 2022..  Obviously within reason although I am finding it difficult to put a number on the deal..

     

    I think if he sees free agency he will be tough to keep..

     

    BTW... thanks for the thread..

    I meant to say didn't start.  As in, when the season began.  The were still rotating Ford at Guard.  Yes, he's been a pleasant surprise and I like him, but don't see us getting into a holdout/bidding war over him.

     

     


    He is now an entrenched starter regardless of what he was doing at the start of the season when no doubt they were still experimenting a bit to find the best combinations..


    Also, Given concussion/ injury concerns over Morse, that are always at the back of my mind, I love it how they can bring in Feliciano at C and not miss a beat..

     

    I’d be happy to have that versatility on the books for the next three years at least whilst JA completes his rookie deal...

     Way over valued a lot of players:

     

    Q. Spain - At $7 million he would be the 13th highest paid G in the league. He's had a nice season but the Bills are not going to pay him 2x what they pay Feliciano (who has a #3.5M cap hit). He's at $2 mill this year, maybe he gets $3.5-4 mill. If not, the 2020 guards could be Feliciano and Ford. 

    J. Phillips - Now you can say he's worth as much as Star L. but there's only 7 DTs making $11 mill. or more (cap hit). He's in for a nice payday, but he's not going from $4.5 to $11 Million. The other consideration here is that they have Star, Ed Oliver and Harrison Phillips and they have Phillips and Liuget in need of new contracts. I bet they only sign one they only need 1.


    What’s the relevance of what they are being paid this year?

     

    Spain and Philips got signed to one year” prove it” deals and they have been..

     

    Our own John Miller ( remember how ordinary he was last year?) got signed to a three year $16.5M deal this year and he is a level below what Spain is showing... 

     

    Id be fine with Spain at 3 years $18-21M.. he seems to like it here so he might go for $18M..

     

    And yes... Feliciano is criminally underpaid as well... I would be looking at extending him this offseason and throwing him a few more dollars to keep him happy and out of free agency in 2021 even if that means they need to lose Spain..
