I like Cook. Prefer him to be signed. Don’t see 15 million. Remember, we do have a bunch of guys who need to be signed. And Josh should be up for contract bump.

I am super conflicted. Love the guy, but would rather the money be spent shoring up areas that need more drastic help - ie: safety, defensive lineman and lastly deep threat WR. Did Saquan win the SB for the Eagles? No, but he sure as heck got them there. Is he worth his money? Yes. As good as Cook has been, Saquon is a more physical back and game breaker. I can’t see 15 million/season. I’d let him walk if it means we can sign a great defensive lineman. Davis, Ty and Gore can produce the same output with Ty being a better receiver.

Daboll left to become a HC. Not fired by McD…. Dorsey was kept for “continuity”… happy McD realized he was over his head and let him go. Brady isn’t going anywhere unless he becomes a HC…again, not McD’s fault. People clamored for Frazier to go…“Mutual decision”. McD took control of the D after that with emphasis on getting Babich ready to be DC. No issue here either. Has lot had a good run on ST coaches, just happy he recognized the need for change. Could he have done better? Yeah. But at least he makes the effort to better his staff. Can’t fault him for that.

He’s a better coach than he’s gotten credit for. Second Super Bowl in 4 seasons. Playoffs each of those 4 years. Yeah, he’s a good coach. Best in the league? Not yet. Needs more hardware.

So happy the chefs didn’t win. Next? Stop them from going to 4 straight.

Did the chiefs win? Nope. So..why did he look “special”??

Just tuned in. Wife was watching to check her squares. FLY EAGLES FLY!!

Won’t be Vegas without Adams…😆 Don’t see a fit for him anywhere but maybe Pitt. Don’t see him going there though. Browns if they somehow move on from watson? Vikings would be better off signing Darnold if they aren’t ready for McCarthy to start. He did have pretty much the same stats last year as his last full season in 2022 (last in GB). So can’t say he doesn’t have gas in the tank.

🤣 Rinse and repeat!

Couple this move with hiring a senior defensive assistant, kinda feel the pressure is on McD to get us to the next step. I don’t believe he makes either decision without being nudged by Pegula or Beane…or both. The way he answered that Smiley would be back at the season ending presser makes me feel this wasn’t his decision. He had all season to evaluate every coach. If he had issues with Smiley, feel he would have answered that differently.

Awesome! my numbers are AFC 9 and NFC 1. Womp womp…. 🤣

Just another day. Eating nothing special. Honestly can’t bring myself to watch and listen to the undercarriage cleaning mahomes will be getting.

RIP

Franks. Used to have a hot sauce/BBQ store around the corner. Let you sample rubs and sauces before purchasing. Found a lot of good tasting sauces for sure. Bought and enjoyed quite a few sauces I’d never have tried otherwise. Like a sweeter/hotter sauce. Kinda zeroed in on mango hot sauces…delicious. Always comes back to Franks for everyday use.

I’m in. Sent a PM

Eli will most likely get in next few years. I feel the voters didn’t want to make him first ballot based on the entirety of his career, not counting Super Bowls. Fact is, he did win twice which does play into getting in the HOF whether people agree with that or not. Sharpe was a great player for a shortened career. Not so sure he deserves to get in though. Is he one of the top 29 receivers to ever play the game? I don’t know. I feel it’s close, as shown by how long it took him to get in.

Interesting when you see small HOF classes. It’s not about getting seven guys in no matter what, it’s about getting the right guys in per the voters. Obviously, there is conversation around who is the “right guy”. Agree with the modern era guys, except not including Manning. Kinda thought beating brady twice in Super Bowls might have gotten him in. Especially beating a team that had not lost a game all season. Sterling Sharpe. Not sure how a guy who is number 109 in yards at 8,134 and tied for number 65 overall with 67 TD’s. I get injury shortened his career, but there is no guarantee he would have had a true HOF career.

All the above? In 2023, he doubled the previous years sack totals for the Falcons to 42. So I’d say scheme is a big part of it. But…need to have the guys you can mold into the new scheme. No doubt we have guys who can do it, just need the “something” to generate the sacks. Lost our assistant dline coach and with this guys resume, assume that will be part of his duties. edit: Hired Jason Rebrovich as a defensive line coach.

Soooo happy for him! And the team and the fans! I truly could not go the whole off-season with my last image of Josh taking that deep breath before he answered questions after the loss. Pumped he won and glad people outside of the organization recognize what a special player he is.

They‘ll be inflated of course. Gotta keep charging bug bucks for those ads!

Would trade for Kupp circa 2020/2021 in a heartbeat for 20 mill/year. Now? Not so much. If his cap hit was 8 or 9 million? Would be more attractive, wouldn’t give up more than a 5th for him. Problem is, as stated by a few others, we have enough slot guys. We need a field stretching outside guy. Someone to be a true threat down the field taking defenders further than 10 yards. Currently, defenses stack the LOS because they aren’t concerned about deep threats and clog up the short field. I’d much prefer the team work with Kincaid snd Coleman to make them better at their positions.

‘98 Bills V Patriots ”Just give it to them” game. First down awarded on a failed 4th and 9 and then a PI on a Hail Mary.

Defended him. “Knows he had plays he wanted back, as do I” Talked about how injuries robs special teams of players who end up having to start on defense.

Feel better. Nothing I can do about it, except move on… Although, whenever I see video of Josh after the game, or especially the deep breath at the podium I am saddened. Off-season thinking kicking in. Draft, FA’s on the open market, our own FA’s. Have done some reflection on the season and what went wrong, mostly through threads on TBD.

Kemp? Absolutely not. Completely different era. Kelly? Had a great career. 4 straight was amazing. Not the best Bills franchise QB. Allen. Even if he never wins the big game, he’s the best Bills QB ever. One of the best the NFL has ever seen. Allen is only 42 TD passes away from Kelly in 4 less seasons. Allen is just over 9k yards less than Kelly. In my mind, it’s Allen and it’s not even close.
