Really impressed with Shakir today. Fluke? Or can he keep it up the rest of the season?

Allen runs... and slides... That's the way to do it.

Kincaid is looking like the pundits advertised on draft day.,..

This game may also be the death knell of the predominant 12 package when Knox is healthy... Knox may be the highest paid backup TE of all time in a few months...

I'll be the contrarian here... rather than dump a physically gifted young player for a late-round pick, hold onto him and hope later in the year or in year three he makes a breakthrough. we saw him play well in his first year; I don't think he's a lost cause yet.

Really nice to see a guy play even better AFTER his payday...

Well, when Baker was a 12-year-old alter boy, Father O'Malley, had a little too much Jamesons one Sunday morning...

The mantle of the number one tight end of the Buffalo Bills.

Now THAT'S the first round pick we were waiting for!!!!

I'm pretty sure Davis has a clause in his contract that he will not make any yards after catch. It's simply contractual, folks...

I'd rather it be 10-10 than 3-0. I think we're scoring a lot tonight.

Hell of a TD catch. I'd like to see our Bills WRs not called Diggs do that.

I think the "let's extend Josh's career by turning him into a pocket QB" era is officially over.

I'm like, "No, no, you IDIOT! DON'T RUN BACKWARDS!" Then he gets more yards and I'm like, "Cool, cool."

Poetic justice: bad kick after bad PI call. Rapp was great on the play.

I've thought about the same thing, not getting value out of rookie deals. Just because we resign a player we drafted, that doesn't mean we got value out of their rookie deal. By the time we resign them, we are, for the most part, paying the regular free agent rate and we just as easily could have signed a non-drafted player at the same position for similar money. Yes, they "know the system" but if you're a vet, that's not a big deal. "Rookie value" is predicated on our drafted players starting and excelling long before their second contract so we don't have to sign and pay too many second-deal veteran players. Not happening enough in Buffalo.

I'll take a WR1B and or a DT over linebacker.

Funny how many of us thought the Vegas season-win total of 10.5 was way too low. Of course, injuries are a factor but it won't be shocking to see the Bills go under that. Glad I didn't let me my homerism prompt me into betting $1,000 on that as, at the time, I was very, very confident we'd win 11 or more games.

I don't wish injury on almost any NFL player, but a player who strikes a pregnant woman in the face and stomach (and later is investigated for breaking the arm of a three-year old child) is a POS and deserves injury, jail time and anything else bad that happens behind bars or on the streets. I like Tua; I despise Hill. So this is not a Dolphin thing. It's a POS thing.

I'm thinking about a large and spicy serving of self destruction: If we don't get it together, I want it to fall apart — horrifically — so changes are made. I don't want to just tread water and be a decent team but not a great one. That will ensure the status quo. Be great or blow it up. Nothing in between.

I'm a functional alcoholic, not a GM. But I'd be pretty stoked to land both Henry and Hopkins this year. Yes, it's a one-season rental for Henry (perhaps he'd resign with us) and Hopkins is a 2-year rental, but do you honestly not believe those two players would no transform this offense? Right now it's all on DIggs most games. Hopkins and Henry change that instantly.

If I'm reading this right, Hopkins has a dead cap figure of over $11 million in 2023 and over $7.8 million in 2024. Nothing to sneeze at. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/tennessee-titans/deandre-hopkins-12307/ But if the Titan's were game I'd pull the trigger for a 2nd and 3rd/4th... Not sure if that would be enough for them...

That's pretty damn interesting, Henry and Hopkins... So what would you give up for that? I'd say, given that Henry appears to be an FA next year and Hopkins seems to have a 2024 year (but the Titans have to eat a lot of dead cap) and I could be WAY off base, but I'd give up... a 2nd, a 3rd, Davis (not sure if he holds value). Or... A 2nd, and Cook. Just off the top of my head. Don't want to lose a 1st but those two guys would make us very dangerous. In theory.

I'm not sure; the answer eludes me. Seriously, nice post by the OP. We're just pulling your leg.

Would he put us over the top? No. But only a fool would say we wouldn't be a better team. If the cap hit and compensation are low I wouldn't be opposed to it. But yes, a 1B receiver would be ideal — but is that feasible?
