Just because Edmunds is better than the trash behind him does not mean he’s a genuine impact guy. He’s been much better this year for sure.

I take it as they have watched the tape and realize the Bills STILL have to sell out to defend the run and you can’t do that against a team with 3 big time weapons at WR. You also can’t just let a guy like him have an easy time or he’ll ruin your day. This is exactly why the Bills need a true #2 (1A) WR. You can double Diggs and shut down the run and then it’s all on Allen. You can’t do that against a better built team, like Cincinnati. I would argue they have the best skill position team and one of the best QBs in the game, their line is weak. The Bills have 1 legitimate weapon aside from their QB. KC is down on talent this year, but appears to have a more explosive and consistent run game, plus Kelce and the better OL in front of the best QB in the game. The Bills will go as far as Allen can take them, it’s going to be tough to win the AFC, personally I don’t feel the Bills have enough fire power to do it unless Beasley finds some magic in a bottle and reverts back to 2020 form. Had Miller and Hyde been able to be on the field, it’s a bit different, but current state, I don’t see it. This game is huge, a week to rest up and not have to worry about a loss is a monster advantage, especially in a super competitive situation like the AFC playoffs will be. The #1 seed, whoever ends up with it, should be the favorite to win the conference, you really don’t want to have to face any of the teams that will sneak in the wild card, they can all burn you.

2017 was a Whaley draft. You’re dramatically over rating several of the guys as well. Cook a top RB? Really? C’mon man.

100%. Had Allen ended up being Mitch Trubiski, McBeane is gone. The drafts have been absolutely devoid of impact players. They have scraped together a number of ok guys, but if you take away Allen, the whole team would be flat on its face. A lot of the FA signings are just as bad or worse than the drafts as well. I feel Beane is DRAMATICALLY over rated in talent evaluation. somebody who gets it. The drafting, aside from Allen has been mediocre. IDGAF how many guys manage to stick in the NFL, they are replacement level guys, you get over the hump by having difference makers on a rookie deal, we have exactly zero of them aside from the 5th year option on Edmunds and I feel reallly dirty even calling him an impact guy.

Unfortunately, WRs are going to be a hot commodity for a couple years, contracts exploded for Vets and young guys are producing early returns. Teams are going to have to take them early, there’s no budget for a 40M QB and 2WRs at 22M+ if you have half the cap tied to 3 people, you won’t have a team.

Well, the 2023 salary is fully guaranteed for injury, so if they send him out there for nothing and he gets hurt, they are in the hook. He has a no trade clause, so he’s going to get cut between now and 2/14/23. They are out basically completely free.

This is the truth. He’s a solid #3 with extra potential, not a bust, just not what irrational Bills fans wanted him to be after seeing one big game last year.

Don’t worry about it, he’ll face those teams again and somebody will take it upon themselves to handle the situation. At that point we need to do what the mafia does and pay that fine for them.

Maybe this year’s focus needs to be getting their heads out of their @$$es earlier in the game. To be down in 10 games is an indicator your defense gave up points early and often because the O was on fire the first drive for the early part of the year.

They really aren’t playing their “worst” right now, they have been competitive, it’s just largely against better teams that have playoff hopes and they are no longer catching people off guard. They aren’t very talented, ex one of their “best” WRs was cut from the Bills and the Bills are really weak at WR.

They have Maholmes.

I can’t see Jimmy G getting that big of a contract, but the rest of it makes too much sense. I could see them coughing up 30M - ish a year, but not much more.

The Jets are going to be a pain in the @$$ for a few years, the Phins are pretty good all around, with a healthy Tua or a decent game manager, they are going to be in games. The Pats need to hire a GM and re-build. The Bills have to add some weapons for Allen. The Bills will win the division virtually every year as it stands, bc Allen.

There’s not a lot they can do, they guaranteed a fortune, they are screwed.

There’s NO way, the Saints let him go to a division rival.

One minute this team needs a RB, one game later, “best in the league?” I remember my first beer.

It would be a tough move w his contract, but technically doable, especially with a little restructuring and a post June 1 designation. He has a lot of option money coming on that deal, not that Mayfield is any guarantee, but with what Stafford has shown, it might be best to give Baker a decent signing bonus and low salaries for 23 and 24, let the hit happen on Stafford and be free of him.

Just have to wait till 2025 to cut him and use 1/4 of your cap space on getting rid of him 😂. The only other options they have are to see if the NFL will excuse the contract if he’s dead and if so, take him to the train station or hold a fire sale, try to unload everything for next year, and stack all the early picks possible in 2024 take late round picks for 2023 so they can kill half the cap space by getting rid of him ASAP.

Denver is stuck for years on that deal 😂

I honestly don’t think they will get anybody to trade for him, that’s a big contract for a developmental project.

I’d practice squad him. He’s talented, but you don’t want him out there yet.

Idiots should have allowed Sling subscribers to get ST and they would have been filthy rich from it. Now they can have their cake and get the middle finger to stir their cold coffee with. YouTube stock holders must be happy.

OL has to be better, but there’s nothing at the skill positions, you can’t rely on Josh exclusively.

If they lose to Cincinnati it would have literally no impact to lose again the last game so you might as well rest everyone. I’m making the assumption they will have clinched the division prior to that of course.

At this point they almost have to draft one, the cost of WRs is insane and we’re already paying Diggs big. Whatever they do, this off season has to be offense focused. The line isn’t good enough to hold up for mediocre weapons to get open. There’s nothing making teams not double Diggs all day so the one guy you have can’t be his best.
