    So I just read an article of how the Bills can create a ton of cap space. To the point of having $20m or so to play with. Not all the moves would be made. And honestly I wouldn’t want them all to be made. I’ll see if I can find it for you. But some real interesting bits bout how renegotiating Josh adds like $24m in cap space. Doing the same with Dawkins, Knox, Johnson, Milano and others to create even more. Like I said, I wouldn’t want them to do all of these moves. But some of them not only make sense, they would be smart moves. 
     

    found it:

    Someone will absolutely take a chance on him. And he would be a fool not to cash in on his 2nd contract. After that he can do what he wants. But my guess is he’ll earn around the $60-75m mark for a 5 year contract. 
     

    and yes, he likely won’t live up to it. May end up like Shaq Lawson and then back here to finish out his career as a situational pass rusher again. 

     

     

    You've been dishing out the goodies, rags.

     

    I have yet to really disagree with you today.

     

    Yeah, that sounds about right for AJ.  I thought earlier this year there is no way he gets offered less than $10 million per, with possibly more if he sustains.

     

    The frustrating thing his he is just getting to where he should be now, and he may end up going to somebody.  Plus we also have to consider Rousseau on the horizon.

    I think AJ may cost more money in FA than Floyd. Yes Floyd has him in sacks. But AJ does have a decent turnover and broken up plays to his resume. Not to mention he’s doing it all while not being a full time starter. Some team is going to look at him and think…. Wow, if we could land him just imagine what he could do full time. And that might be the only reason we keep Floyd imo. Especially if he wants to continue to play for a contender and change rings. He’s already been paid. He’s in the twilight of his career. Maybe he takes a little less to stay with someone like us. Who knows. 
     

    But for the record. I appreciate you Leonard Floyd 

     

     

    rags, I am with you, brother, and would love it and I want both back, but honestly I was surprised at how out of whack we are salary cap wise for next season.  Sure, they can do some things, but man...$42 million before we even start doing anything?!

     

    That's more than cap yoga right there.

     

    Go Bills!

    I’m sure you guys do too.

     

    apologies for making another appreciation thread, but I think it needs to be said.  1 year 9M.  He’s played like a 18-20M man this year Imo.  It’ll be such a dam shame if we don’t make it to the playoffs and lose this guys next year.  Such a waste of a prime time pass rusher on an incredible contract.  

    I thought he would be our most impactful addition for the 2023 season (Kincaid included) and he’s been as advertised and slightly even better than I had anticipated.  He’s the kind of guy that can wreck super bowls.  Let’s pray that he gets an opportunity in the playoffs.  
     

    I appreciate you Leonard Floyd.  Please resign with us and hopefully retire a Bill.  

     

     

    Leonard Floyd, I appreciate you, too.

    Everything you said is 100% correct. Except there is like less than 1% chance he is re-signed after this year. Unless AJ demands waaaay too much money (possible) and they cannot re-sign him. They may get a shot at Floyd who will likely not earn as much because of his age. 

     

     

    Unfortunately, mrags, you are correct.  


    I don't even think we are going to be able to keep AJ. with our cap situation being as bad as it is.

     

    So, we'll lose AJ and we'll lose Floyd, but due to the cap hit at least we get to keep Von...

    What I find funny is you go to Miami boards and they are all talking about how they are about to lose the division becuase - as they say - they are paper tigers and they know it.

     

    they will lose out 

     

     

    Drew, it still stuns me that even though their team is 10-4 and have the Bills coming up at home the Bills live absolutely, positively rent free in their heads. 

     

    Forgive me, but their stress over the Bills is like nectar or ambrosia to me.  It's just so good and if the Bills take care of their own business we get to so wonderfully enjoy this everyday for the next 10 days leading up to the glory of Dolphins week with the hopes of the division still being on the line.

     

    Man, it has already been like Christmas since they lost to the Titans.

     

    Go Bills!

    If the Bills lose to an inferior team (Chargers or Pats) yet again, then I won't sweat not making the playoffs.  In my view they would totally not deserve a berth and would be a fraudulent good team.

    If they beat those two clubs, and lose to Miami in a defacto playoff game...and still not get in then so be it.  The early losses sunk them and it would always be "what could have been" 

     

     

    Zow, this is the take.  I concur.

     

    BTW, if we get to the final game of the season and win, BUT Miami goes 2-0 over the next two weeks with wins over Baltimore and Dallas, guess what...they deserved the division then.  Nothing we can do about it after the fact.

    Go out to a local watering hole man …. Have an adult beverage, bond with like minded fans … enjoy life my friend 


    personally, I don’t mind paying (I do, but whatever) either for an antenna (lost my last one) or for peacock premium plus (briefly).

     

    I have a young child, though, and I really don’t want to drag her out to a bar at close to her beer time to watch her Bills.

    okay, just wanted to quickly point out something

     

    (1) apparently peacock has a wild card game this year.  i didn't even realize that until reading this thread.

    (2) lots of people are recommending to buy peacock for the Bills game and then cancel right afterwards.

     

    if you buy peacock today, your month subscription would cover the wild-card game (which very well may involve the Bills).  wild card weekend is Jan 13-15.

     

    i'd illegally stream both, but if you're going to buy peacock, then NO, don't cancel it right after Saturday.


     

    Thank you, Harry.  Do you need to buy premium plus ($11.99) to get the game or will the base subscription ($5.99) cover it?

    This is going to be a major get right game for Gabe Davis— guarantee it. I think we will see the passing game go nuts. 


     

    Boy, Miyagi…8 receptions for 161 yards and a td in his last five games and 6 for 105 and a td were against Philly, which means he has 8 more receptions the last five games than Debbie Reynolds who died in 2016.

     

    I hope you are right for the playoff push.

     

    Go Bills!

    Agree... WE should have beaten Denver at home,  NE, Eagles and the Jets on the road.   The next two games may be easy but they have to go and compete and then hope for one loss from the Dolphins against the Cowboys or the Ravens.....Then that final game of teh season will be so meaningful.


     

    Ganesh, crazy when you think that it is not impossible or even ridiculous to think that two out of the three teams in front of us (Colts, Bengals, Texans) can finish 11-6.

     

    We could be the first 11 win team to miss the playoffs since…man, was it the Patriots who finished in second in the East and out the year Brady got injured 2008?  I think so.

     

    Edit: our team wins so much, but their history is that they just simply don’t treat each game as precious.

     

    Minnesota last year, Jets last year and this year, Denver, Jags 2 years ago and this year, first Miami game last year. 
     

    Victory is there and then it just seems like, “meh, whatever. Long season.”

    Was thinking today that the Bills early season injuries were a sort of blessing.  They had many games to matriculate in the backups and they played like Matt who today?  Beane did his job and got us a big body to replace Jones and Douglas to replace Tre. Dodson stepped up as well.  


     

    very respectfully, jag, I just can’t get there.  Not when you lose an all pro difference making LB, a former all pro CB who was finally “back” and a space eating defensive lineman.

     

    please know, I know exactly what you mean, but it is just we are still on the outside looking in and as of now just 5-5 (after two straight wins) since losing our guys in London.


    Go Bills.

    Before this weekend's games which includes three pivotal Saturday games, give me your 7 playoff teams in the AFC and their seedings.

     

    Here is what I came up with using the ESPN Playoff Machine

     

    1. Ravens 13-4 ( Finish 3-1 Beat Jags, Dolphins, Steelers. Lose to the 49ers)

    2. Chiefs 11-6 (Finish 3-1 Beat Patriots, Raiders, Chargers. Lose to the Bengals)

    3. Jaguars 11-6 (Finish 3-1 Beat the Bucs, Panthers, Titans. Lose to the Ravens)

    4. Bills 10-7 (Finish 3-1 Beat the Chargers, Patriots, Dolphins. Lose to the Cowboys)

    5. Broncos 11-6 (Finish 4-0 Beat Lions, Patriots, Raiders, Chargers)

    6. Bengals 11-6 (Finish 4-0 Beat Vikings, Steelers, Chiefs, Browns)

    7. Browns 10-7 (Finish 2-2 Beat the Bears, Jets. Lose to the Texans and Bengals)

     

    Missing Out

    Colts 9-8 (Finish 2-2. Lose to the Steelers and Texans. Beat the Raiders and Falcons)

    Steelers 8-9 (Finish 1-3. Lose to the Benglas, Seahawks, Ravens. Beat the Colts)

    Texans 10-7 (Finish 3-1. Lose to the Titans (Road). Beat the Browns, Titans (Home), Colts)

    Dolphins 10-7 (Finish 1-3. Lose to the Ravens, Cowboys, Bills. Beat the Jets)

     

    Initial thoughts.

     

    1. Seems unlikely both the Bengals and Broncos will win out. I do think the Broncos have a good shot of winning out. For the Bengals, probably more realistic to have them finish 3-1 with a loss to the Chiefs or even 2-2 with losses to the Chiefs and Browns. In either scenario if I plug those results in and leave everything else the same Miami takes the 7th seed and the Bengals miss the playoffs. 

     

    2. If I leave everything the same but have the Bills beat the Cowboys but lose to the Dolphins, then the Bills miss the playoffs.

     

     

     

    Thank you for the effort, Sammy, and I think there is a lot of good stuff in the above.

     

    Let's all be clear, though, on how razor thin this is, because I believe if only one game in the Dolphins schedule is different, let's say they upset the Ravens, then the Bills go from division champion to all the way out of the playoffs.

     

    We need to stack wins, and we need pretty much all of them, just in case.

    I never wanted to believe it, but an Achilles is one of the worst injuries in the NFL, and he may have sunsetted from the NFL.  I’m not quick to throw out a previous all pro, but how many catastrophic injuries can he survive?

     

     

    Guns, I try to be optimistic, but boy...and I am sorry to be that guy...it is just whether he can comeback and we all hope that he does but at what cost?

     

    It is the fact that this is a hobbled guy that has a fairly large impact on your cap.

     

    If you were to sign him or he was a young guy on a 3-4 million per deal, sure.

     

    However, I believe he is $16 million plus on next year's cap and we are underwater already.  

     

    Are we going to bonus or frontload because we believe he is here long term? (sarcasm)

     

    Again, I am sorry, but this is such a tough one.

     

    Go Bills, but God bless Tre.

    The more I think about the Douglas trade the more I like it.

     

    Saves us from a gigantic hole at CB next year and was a good Tre replacement mid season.

     

     

    Chan can you imagine?  Honestly can you imagine if we did not have him?

     

    Boy.

  14. We have Douglas for one year because after '24  I think he is going to get pretty big money.

     

    If Tre is gone and we have room maybe we pay.

     

    I like him a lot.
