I said it in another thread that it’s hilarious and Hendrickson played this injury perfectly. Im going to hold out because I’m way underpaid and want an extension. Bengals refuse to extend him and give him like an 18 million dollar pay increase. Gets hurt all season and might be too old and injured for the Bengals , who are financially conscious, now to franchise him , so he’ll still be a Free Agent next year , healthy and get a good contract. I usually don’t advocate for this, but with Mike Brown being a cheap ass I’m okay I’m with it in this scenario

No and no when it comes to do we pick him up

The NFC is brutal this year and the Bucs taking up a spot is a killer for those teams. I played with the simulator and I have either the Lions or the Bears missing out on the playoffs………at 11-6 that would be rough

I don’t disagree that WR and DE are also a priority and a high one. I think that’s why Taron Johnson gets kept unless there is a player they just can’t pass up on the board in the draft or in free Agency. The bad news is we won’t have the draft pick capital of the last two years. Now certainly Beane can manipulate that with trade downs and trading away players( Keon Coleman ) etc but as it stands right now they are not in a great spot to add too many impact guys through the draft. If we cut the usual suspects for next year. Curtis Samuel, Taylor Rapp, Tyler Bass and so on and the cap increases like last year we should have somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 million under the cap which seems like a lot but comparably it’s not

So when I mean 2nd level I mean MLB/WLB/NCB. I actually think our back 4 for the future is set. Benford, Hairston, Bishop, Hancock. The loss of Strong(if he is lost) is big because it would have given the Bills a solid cheap 3rd CB. We have zero depth though in the back but usually you can find backup safeties for cheap. I could see them bringing back Thompson like you said and he has played well when he’s played but that’s always been the problem with him. He’s always getting injured. I don’t think you can rely on him for 17 games. I think you have to keep Dorian but I think to this point he’s proven to be a good backup and Special teams guy more than a Starter. Bernard won’t be gone but they should replace him as soon as it’s feasible to do because he’s an average player on a bad contract who is also injury prone. This is where you run into issues. If your not going to replace Bernard, and your not going to replace Taron Johnson, then the only area to upgrade is Milanos spot and adding a guy in round 3 or 4 won’t make much of a difference. That guy has to be drafted in round 1 or 2. I think that’s why the Bills were highly linked to Carson Schwesinger last year in the lead up to the draft and honestly is looking like a great pick for Cleveland. Then we need to address DE, DT, WR, IOL.

I already looked it up if we post June 1st him we will save 7.6 million but I think they keep him one more year because there is no replacement for him. I will be harping big time to replace the 2nd level of the defense next year.

I understand what he’s saying, and it’s definitely intended for Hopkins but I’m not sure that football gets there. He was wide open but the ball kind of comes out funny of Lamar’s hands and either wouldn’t have enough on it to get there or allow the defenders would have closed on it.

It’s still going to be very tough for the Texans to win the division mostly because Jacksonvilles schedule is very soft as well. Jacksonvilles last 4 games is Jets(w/Brady Cook?) Broncos (tough game but still winnable) Colts(w/Riley Leonard) Titans Jacksonville is going 3-1 at minimum and very well could go 4-0. Houston would have to go 4-0 to catch Jacksonville. Houston would win the division in this scenario though. So really that division is going to come down to Jacksonville beating Denver or Houston losing to the Chargers

Savage has played some Nickel in his career and I think he would be a great nickel in this system. Has good size and has shown in the past to be a ball hawk. Problem is he has to learn the playbook and fast

I mean it’s basically literally watching the Chiefs dynasty crumble tonight. Mahomes terrible, Andy Reid coaching like an idiot, Kelce can’t catch the football, it’s kind of glorious to be honest

I mean definitely can happen if the Bills are the 5 they would go to Den/NE unless there was an upset in the first round so it would be likely we wouldn’t face Houston until the AFC championship game

Reid apparently ain’t about the long game here today. There is still 5:31 left. Desperation right now

Can’t believe they went for it there. You’re trying to execute deep in your own territory vs a dominant defense when your defense is absolutely smothering them. It’s clearly a field position game and whoever wins that will likely win the game. You just gifted them a minimum opportunity of 3 points.

Underthrown, would have been a touchdown if he led him. Didn’t exactly see what happened to McDuffie there? Might have gotten stuck in the turf is the only thing I can think

Thing is if Houston wins tonight, but loses the division to Jacksonville which is very likely, the Texans will be a lower seed than Buffalo in the playoffs and if they were to meet Houston would have to come to Buffalo. I like my chances a hell of a lot better then the nightmare of going back to Houston where they never win.
