Josh Allen worked too hard in the summer
Should I start a thread?

Am I the only one that loves to go through all the arrival pictures? I don’t know why.

$18M would be a horrible overpay IMO. Brown has developed into a starting caliber RT. We lived through the developmental years so it would be nice to get the productive years too now that he’s dependable. But at reasonable cost. OTC has his 2023 valuation at $10.17M. I don’t think he signs here for that, but I’m more in the $12M-$13M AAV ballpark. Even $15M seems rich unless guaranteed money is light.
Extensions have to take into account where the league cap is going. Also an 18 game season.
His floor will be $15 million. I think it’s more likely he’ll get closer to $18 million.
What will really matter is the guaranteed money. I’m not sure what that will look like. He’s had some injuries so the Bills might want a lower guarantee number.

Good for Dawkins.

He's an ok run blocker and a poor pass protector. I hope we prioritize the RT when his rookie contract expires. We would be better off to move on. We can do much better.
He’s getting a long-term contract soon. He’s a core player. He’s developing very well.
12 hours ago, thenorthremembers said:I think its likely they re-sign him. Better sooner than later because if he has a good season and doesnt miss time his APY could be north of 14 million dollars a year.
I think it’s going to be in the $18 million range.

one or two losses against the same team in the playoffs may fit with you narrative...
We’ve had similar rosters for all 3 losses. The Bills have gotten closer to the Chiefs without major roster turnover. This is the first season they’ve had major roster turnover.

It’s WR for me. Gotta stop dicking around and surround Allen with more talent. The season hasn’t even started and I feel like this WR corp we have right now isn’t going to cut it. The only one I feel good about is Shakir. I’d love to be proven wrong.
Bills have had good WR cores the problem is none of them create anything after the catch.
Kincaid, Shakir, Samuel, Coleman will definitely be the best after the catch Allen has had. So it’ll be interesting to see the difference.

So we agree now it’s not actually the quality of the roster. It’s a matter of having the same roster prepared to make close out plays in the playoffs, not just the regular season, which is on the coaching staff.
glad we got that sorted….
No. Blaming a coach is an excuse. Players need to make game winning plays. No one on the defense does.

The found good enough Defensive players to rank 16,1,2,4 in points allowed and 14,1,6,9 in yards. Bills had a better D every year but last---which was close.
Bills also were a better Offense last year. Same result.
In the post season, the difference, therefore, is coaching.
The Bills, as you alluded to, have a 3-1 record regular season Josh vs KC. You can't cogently argue that the Bills have adequate players and coaching in the regular season, but that they need "better players" in the postseason, in order to get past KC.
That would make no sense.
No one on defense steps up to make play in the playoffs like they have in the regular season. From Von Miller, Taron Johnson, to Rousseau. All made plays to close out the Chiefs in the regular season.
One thing about the 13 second game not talked about enough was Kelce making up a route on the final play to set up the FG. Not Andy Reid, Kelce. It would’ve been like Levi Wallace saying I should tighten up here because Kelce has too much space, but no the play says stay here.
Someone else needs to step up besides Josh Allen. Ultimately we blame coaching for the 13 second failure but the players still can make a play in that situation and they didn’t. Even going back to the play before where Hill goes 64 yards.
These games are close. The Bills can beat KC but it’ll only be when a defensive player comes to play vs KC.

that may play well on that first round of golf in early February.
Once or twice is random way close games go. 3 of the last 4 is a clear pattern. The coaching mismatch has been documented on this site endlessly.
No need to pretend it does not exist.
Documented? lol.
Yes Andy Reid and Spags are the best Offensive and defensive combo in the NFL. You’re fighting a losing battle trying to find a better coach.Find better players. Coaching gets us right there to lose close. We need better players, particularly on defense.

no one cares about regular season head to head. Bills have been bounced form the playoffs 3 (2 close games) of the past 4 seasons by Reid and the Chiefs (2 SB wins in that time).
They’re losing in very tight games to possibly the greatest team of all time.
-
I was so excited to see him in the playoffs because all our other top players on defense fail in the playoffs. I was hoping he would rise up. Then the injury. Gut punch. Ugh!
Two years in a row gut punches. Von Miller then Bernard.

In the playoffs. But barely. Bills beat them in the regular season and lose close in the playoffs.

Even that KC miss was a very difficult play, with the KC defender disrupting the path of the ball. That dropped pass got a lot of attention because the Chiefs had been doubling Diggs all game, and then finally the Bills had a chance to get him free for a killer TD.
No they weren’t.
-
Diggs can still play. He didn’t want to be in Buffalo. This year would’ve been his last year in Buffalo. It was the right time to move on.

He was, he no longer is because he sucked. Once again, they're not trying to be controversial to drive clicks. They're trying to be accurate to drive wins.
You're the one arguing that the media and NFL executives are no different. You haven't presented anything other than "they're providing their opinion."
Well if that's the case, not one person in the world is different than another because we all have opinions. I'll take my NFL front office job now.
Some dude in China who has never watched a snap of football will too - he's no different than Brandon Beane!
You’re on the right track. You’re exaggerating a bit though.
NFL executives are wrong as much as anyone. -

An ESPN talking head is going to say whatever to takes to create controversy and drive views/clicks to their content. It's what makes them valuable.
A NFL executive is going to try and give an assessment that's rooted in reality as they're evaluated on how often they're right. It's what makes them valuable.
Their intentions are different because the way they're evaluated are different.
Russ Brandon was an NFL executive.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. Opinions are opinions.

Now, someone throw the stats out here where opposing teams have converted on our D........that, is what actually matters when it comes to 3rd down stats.
Bills defense statistically is great during the regular season. They fall off in the playoffs.
From 2019 Bills defense drops from 3rd to 18th in 3rd down % going from regular season to playoffs.
Compare that to KC who goes from 11th in the regular season to 6th. Cincinnati goes from 24th to 5th.

An anonymous source has nothing to gain from saying Josh Allen is overrated - they're genuinely providing their opinion. A talking head on ESPN is not always giving an earnest opinion, as it is advantageous for them to generate controversy. They're both "opinions" but are given with different intentions.
Bill Polian sitting on the set of ESPN is exactly that, Bill Polian sitting on the set of ESPN. He's not doing it as an executive, he's doing it as a media personality. The intention is different.
What do you mean different intentions? For all we know this whole article is made up with fake quotes. Who cares.

It's completely different. It's well known that many ESPN talking heads or whatever platform they are on like to spew controversial takes for clicks that we know they most likely don't even actually agree with.
If an NFL executive who was quoted anonymously really believes this that's a pretty big Yikes comment(on the executive, not Josh)
It’s no different. Whats the difference between Bill Polian sitting on the set of ESPN saying Lamar Jackson is a wide receiver vs anyone else’s opinion?
Bill Polian was wrong about Lamar Jackson just like any other non executive can be wrong.
Some NFL executive thinks Josh Allen is overrated. So what. It’s no different than anyone else’s opinion.
Talking heads are talking heads, doesn’t matter how much experience you have. It’s all an opinion. -

Nick Wright levying criticism is the same thing as a NFL Front Office member?
Yeah. What’s the difference? Anyone giving opinions on ESPN or any platform is the same.
Front office executives opinions on players is no better or accurate than any of our opinions.
