without a true franchise QB, most teams in fact are lucky to win 6 games

Exactly. In a single elimination tournament, you have to. As far as I'm concerned, the Bills were 14-4 last season , which was great. With JA17 on the roster, Trust your process , keep up this kind of production and there will be a season (s) where the injuries are down and you get a few more breaks than the other guy and you get the trophy as well. Heck , Andy Reid has had maybe 7 or 8 SB trophy worthy teams btwn the Eagles and Chiefs, and he has what, 2 trophies?

yes, McBeanes have earned our trust. 55-21 the past 4 years just doesn't lie.

Bills have an SB calibre roster. Let's go have a solid draft, sign our own, move some guys up, add some FAs and then just f ing play it back. and hope a half a dozen key starters don't go down for the season this time Nothing has changed. Go Bills.

Bills are fine. Make a few additions / subtractions and play it back in the fall. Trust the process. 55-21 for the past 4 years does not lie.

Hopefully this also opens the door to letting Edmunds walk and making some changes to the defensive alignment and approach. Elam and White become press corners more of the time, Get Hyde back in CF, Benford playing the Poyer role. I still believe defense is far less important than offense in today's NFL against top 10 teams. So Fraziers departure is kind of ho hum for me as you need to be scoring 30 a game in this league to win regardless of who your DC is. And the Bills will be playing a lot of top 10 teams each season as long as they keep winning the division.

yeah people on this board overdosed on media hype last season and are still hungover...

agreed. He got the Heath Farwell 'you screwed up but we won't make it look like we are firing you' treatment...but pls go away....

They'll offer him Milano $$ on a 3-4 yr deal and then he'll walk. They'll give him the opportunity to realize that this is not his last payday as he'll only be 28 when his next deal comes. Good player but D is all about sacks, picks and negative plays. He doesn't make any of them. His leaving will force Frazier out of his rope a dope defense.

Yeah i don't get it. WNY is screaming for the Vikes stadium design. Whatever. I was happy with continuing to fix up the ralph. for $1.5B+, Half the home games will still be freezing cold at night, especially playoff games. Crazy. Who knows what people are doing on this anymore. Why bother with a new stadium if it is still exposed to truly sh-tty weather for half the season.

By the time the playoffs come around, he'll be a veteran at the position. Go draft offense. All playoff games will be shootouts anyway. Let's make sure we can win that way. Philly had a monster defense and it got smoked.

after his making over $50m +, my heart bleeds for him. have a nice life Byron

He won't be coming back from back surgery this off-season / season and will be fine. His rookie year was no fluke. Move on. I continue to be amazed at how little research people do before popping off about a player.

Pretty simple math: Live in NYS and make the average NFLstarter pay, say $5m per year, liberal/welfare state like NY you pay 11% income tax, conservative well run state like Fla or Tx, you pay 0%. People say they make it up in real estate taxes? Nope: Erie country real estate taxes around 3% depending ; Dade County Fla, 1% So if you make $10m per year and have a $1m house (pretty typical NFL Free Agent signee) , if you play in Fla or Tx , you keep around $1.5m in cash each year in your pocket vs playing in WNY. I think the real driver is Rachel Bush, Poyer's wife. She seems like a total diva who probably can't stand it in WNY.

boy the offseason is slow

a little overhyped? this board thinks the SB winner is awarded to the team with the highest number of weekly "power rankings "

Lamar IMO is not getting any team to the promised land. Not ever. Good QB, blah blah, but, eg. RGIII was better than him when healthy.

I'm old enough to the remember all the "fire Daboll" posts in 2021 as well. Rinse and repeat. Let it go. Josh will be healthy in 2023 , Dorsey will have learned and off we go. Trust the Process.

Payton will be coaching Russ. Webb will be catching balls from Russ and throwing the ball back to him.

If he goes to the Jets, that will make them a real threat for the division overnight. Breece Hall will bring the run game when he returns and all of a sudden the Jets are really for real.

hard to imagine OBJ has much left. why keep gambling on huge contract shiny objects, failed this year with Von

yes. the best QBs have the ball out in 2 seconds so pass rush is largely irrelevant in the playoffs. put the $$ into the Offense Von Miller was the type of Shiny Object which either wins you a SB or blows up in your face. That's why I don't like those kind of moves. This one blew up in Beane's face. Should have stuck to the process: draft, grow, re-sign, Now he is stuck with a $20+m annual cap hit for years for a guy whose main strength is probably now gone. Chiefs have 12, yes 12 draft picks this year. Bills have 6. Not sure Bills catch up to them any more. thanks Heath Farwell, we had a shot at the crown and you sh-t the bed when it mattered most.

Since Bass can kick 4 out of 5 (5 out of 5?) out of the end zone anytime he wants, and the point of punt and kickoff returns is simply to get the ball safely into 17's hands, why would the Bills tie up 10m+ in Neal, Jones, Matakavich, et al? With Hines and Bass on the team, returns and kickoffs are non events. I would prefer to take that cap space, load up on offense and therefore punt very little, taking that risk off the table as well. Coaches talk all about the importance of special teams. With long ball kickers and solid return guys, not sure I'm buying it.

Boettger and Brown will finally both be 100% Physically for 2023 and will both be starters on the right side. Problem solved. Doyle will be backup as he will be 100% phyically. Draft (and FA ) will provide needed depth or (hopefully ) a guard upgrade . really not that big a deal. get a pile of guys you really liked back from injury and move forward. this board forgets all about guys who are/were recovering for or are injured. weird.

ok, so then time to blow it up and start over with an entirely new coaching staff? Is that what you want? Go back to suck for 2-3 years in Josh's prime while the roster is rebuilt in the image of the new HC and new OC/DC? Is that what you want?
