Lamb is a top 5 WR and might even be higher than that. If you don't pay him, I don't know who you pay. Lamb isn't the reason they flop in the playoffs. That distinction is on Dak and McCarthy. Buffalo doesn't have hold outs like this because Beane likes to get ahead of these contracts and get extensions done well before the contract is going to expire. Which in some ways is good as the cap is always increasing which makes an earlier contract cheaper but in some ways it's bad because the extensions don't always work out. This has been most obvious with guys like Diggs and Bass, but has also been the case with several others based on injury. So while us casual fans haven't really had to gasp at an ungodly contract given out by Beane, we certainly have gasped at the dead cap hit we have which is linked to why we haven't had ungodly contracts. It's also about the talent of the players we have. We have no Lamb or Aiyuk on this team. We traded Diggs. Who would hold out on our current or even former rosters outside of Josh? We have no star talent on this team and haven't for most of Beane's tenure. If anything our lack of hold outs is probably more of symptom you would want to see on occasion like with Chris Jones last year.

Pics?

Some of these releases are just nasty.

100%. I usually don't care if those are the top three. Mahomes has to be one, then you can make a case for Burrow or Allen #2, just depends on the style you prefer. When people want to slip in Lamar into that group is when I have an issue with it. Even with his two MVP's he's just not at that level.

Two first names, pass

Very punchable face

I do the West to East coast flight for a week every couple months. Been doing it for a couple years now. I can be dead ass tired and I won't sleep when I get to Eastern time. 1am at the earliest and even that's a stretch. I'm not 100% until 3-4 days into the trip. These aren't baseball players. It's not like they travel 80 times a year for most the year. They play 8-9 road games in a year. They aren't anymore adjusted for what to expect than I am. Then they have to play a game at what amounts to 10am. Except that's when the game starts, who knows what time they have to get up. Compare that to the home team. It certainly matters. The talent gap is just too small in the NFL. It would be interesting if this angle was even stronger earlier in the year. I could see logic to that as the traveling is new and they don't have any sense of rhythm yet.

Zap his balls while this is happening. Not sure if it will do anything but it doesn't hurt.... Unless your his balls

Front Page Sports Pro Football was a incredible game for the PC. Still the only game I recall having a play/formation designer. Graphics at the time were next level. NFL 2k5- Still has elements that we haven't seen nearly 20 years later. Sucks to have lost this franchise. NBA Jam- Ton of fun Mike Tyson Punch Out- See above

Oh ya, we will be doing a few of those for sure. Any plans for PB this year?

I just don't agree that the individual talent is strong. With what's left, I don't see a lot of guys starting for other teams. I see a massive rebuild if a new coach came in. I think we have the players on defense we wanted. Especially schematically, but that doesn't mean they're above average players. We have done a good job of drafting system guys. But we can obviously do this all night. It's a reasonable discussion. It's not like you're saying we played Mahomes well in the last playoff game...

Ed Oliver is the best player in our front 7. Which is sort of laughable given the resources we have spent. Look at it another way. What if we bring in another 4-3 coach, how do we perform? Every piece we have is overfit for McD's defense. We switch coaches and we don't even have a top 20 defense with this roster. Why does it kind of work vs KC in regular season? Maybe they don't hit top gear until the playoffs. Which has been the case for many former championship teams. Nothing is going to fit why we regress so sharply perfectly across the board. But the concept being discussed here fits about as close as any I recall.

Vs Mahomes in the playoffs. It sucks when actual data exists doesn't it.

Between the primetime games, likelihood of a few national TV games, great Bills backers bar here it's just not worth it. I will stream 5-6 games as well and those feeds have been stellar.

They have all slowed down KC better than we ever have. In addition none of them have another team that owns them like Burrow/Bengals does us.

Most defenses don't post top 5 finishes year after year then get get completely torched when it matters. Our defense isn't a playoff defense. It's a regular season defense. See the Bengals, 49ers, Ravens, etc. All have shown much more capable when it matters.

Good friend drafted Coleman first and I felt so good inside. I have Davis as well. Shakir is going to be a WR1 value.

Not talking about our safeties. Talking about our defense. It makes sense how we can confuse the easily confused but when we face the better QB's our lack of talent is on full display.

I don't disagree. But when is that a problem for Beane? We have been scheme over talent on defense for a long time.

Also makes a degree of sense why we might struggle more vs the very best and totally dominant the average to below average.

We have laid some eggs in recent years in week 1. So many unknowns, new weapons, growing pains. Vegas has us at -6 which is a full point down from the -7 opening line. If anybody thinks this is a cakewalk think again.

McD would stomp on anybody who is not a trained fighter.

KC had 7 less yards on 31 less plays. Keep lying to yourself.

This can’t be true. Beane would never overextend himself on a new deal.
