I agree to an extent. I do slightly take issue with the system becoming predictable thing. I think what made them more vanilla in their coverages was a failure to win on first down for most of the season and 2/3 playoff games. The were actually pretty multiple with their coverage schemes in 2019 and while it is undoubtedly true they faced an easier slate of opposing QBs even the good ones they faced found it tough. That first New England game even Brady was totally befuddled. What happened this year is we were a much worse 1st down defense and it got us out of some of the less predictable looks we showed last year. I suppose it does come back to the same place - the answer to that is better talent up front. 

 

I wasn't pounding the table for either and I still wouldn't for Phillips. But replacing Shaq with Addison was a dumb move. I don't know what the Bills FO saw when they watched Mario Addison in 2019 with Carolina but to my eye what was evident was a clear decline in his play. If they'd let Shaq walk and saved the money or put it together with some other cash for a high end replacement I'd be less frustrated. But they replaced him with an older player who was not an upgrade for the same money.

It was in hind sight not such a good move to let them walk, especially with the money spent, I initially was okay with them walking, but as it turned out I was not so brilliant as it were...

Going for broke on FA splashes is what brought us to a 17 year drought.  It’s more important to have a strategy and stick to that long term strategy.

I agree, but that strategy does not preclude taking advantage of an opportunity to get talent when it is priced right,

I think the cap will be a hell of a lot closer to 198 than it will be to 175

The league/owners gain nothing keeping the cap low, the owners will happily loan themselves money to keep the gravy train rolling,

I don't think Lawson or Phillips would have made a difference.  They both didn't produce with the Dolphins and Cards.  

But they did produce with the Bills in the Bills system... players play best in certain systems, and with certain other players, it’s the lust for money that drives them from success to mediocrity...

At what price?  $5M? $6M $8.3M?

And then who do we let walk or cut to free up the $$?  Brown?  McKenzie?  Williams?

 

Fair take.  I kind of wonder at the signing of Winters so promptly after Feliciano's injury if so but you may be right.

There is always a limit of what to pay for a given performance level, JF is “league wide” likely above average as a guard, and center, yes good enough can be the enemy of great, I don’t begin to have enough knowledge on actually available / viable replacements currently around the league / draft, that’s why Beane makes the big bucks. If Beane finds someone better at any position for the right money I for one can live with that, 😁

 

Go Bills!!!

[Re-sign or “Wave Good-bye” series: Player 5 - Jon Feliciano]

Jon is our back up center, and a reasonably good guard on either side, and he “may” end up being our starting center this upcoming season, we need to keep him. 

 

Go Bills!!!

[Rings & GOAT's: should the # of them really be the argument for Brady?]

Fuh K Brady 

 

He has been caught cheating every four ish years on average  for two decades straight, he lacks the very sportsmanship qualities that are a requirement for such an accolade. He is a walking character flaw. 

[Daboll wins AP NFL assistant Coach of the Year]

Well done coach! 
can’t wait to see how you make the offense even better.

I would like to see him re-signed, but there is a fair chance we lose him to another team. 

[Re-sign or “Wave Good-bye” series: Player 3 - Ike Boettger]

Re-sign, RFR, starter in a pinch, but he is a good back up/depth.

I did not expect such a thing but it was still a shallow and superficial interview nonetheless. No depth or insight in the slightest. Very good coach, exemplary human being but I learned not a whole lot. Clearly didn’t show his hand in any way.

And that is a very good thing for the fans and the team.  Any smart coach is going to do as much, with maybe a funny story thrown in on the outside for some minor entertainment.
 

Go Bills!!!

[Joe B article speculates John Brown will be cut]

I hope folks understand that make believe football  grading has no bearing on coaching and FO decision making, pretty darn lame inclusion to the reasons players are kept or cut by a team.

I learned nothing. Boring interview. Had to shut it off midway through. Very Belichickesque.

Were you expecting him to lay out the teams off season and preseason plans for everyone to know?  Because if you were, there is some confusion with your expectations, and no he doesn’t have an obligation to the fans to do so. 

 

Go Bills!!!

[Rising Tide Lifts All Boats - Schefter sez Jets could get 1st round pick for Darnold]

I think Darnold is closer to being some teams back up QB than resurrecting his career as a starter, he has a very slim chance of being a top half of the league QB at this point. Jmo. 

[Should Josh Allen ask for a no-trade clause in a new contract?]

Josh really likes that Buffalo took a chance on him, and he truly appreciates that, but he is no fool, there will be a no trade clause in his contract, especially if the FO wants him to lean toward a team friendly contract structure, jmo.
