Bump for bad news. Let's do our thing.

I'd argue Jones is priority #1, then Rapp, then Floyd. And I love Floyd, but we have a bunch of young DEs under contract.

Confirmed torn achilles

That's why I stick with classics for jerseys. Steve Tasker, Kyle Williams, etc. Can't jinx the player if theyre already retired!

OH MY GOSH, thanks for catching that. Wow. Pushed them around like our little brothers.

Exactly. We're going to rotate guys anyways. Might as well throw in some new looks and wrinkles in certain situations to give the opponent even more to think about. Is the opposite of the all DE "NASCAR" line: Oliver/Jones/Ford/Jonathan?

Well when you look at Jalen Phillips over Greg Rousseau, you sure aint wrong!

Was waiting for this thread to get bumped today since it seemed like we got off that schneid yesterday

I'm an 80s kid, but was raised right

Eh, give that 2014 team Josh Allen and we're making a run at the Super Bowl too. That was a Beane>Grier post

Imagine trading a 1st round pick and signing Bradley Chubb to 5/$110M, and then the Bills go out and sign Leonard Floyd in FA for $7M. Life is good.

I was surprised they abandoned the run as well. Especially considering those RBs can rip off big chunk gains that mimic a high-power passing game.

I get that during the season NFL coverage is largely (over)reactionary and bombastic since it is all really just marketing for the NFL. But I cannot believe how deep folks, who should all know better, fully bought into the Dolphins as a team that was regularly going to score 40+, 50+ points a game. In the NFL! Like, WTF are they thinking. Anyone with half a functioning brain saw that Denver game and could clearly see the Broncos lay down and stop tackling. It blows my mind that people who have been around football for decades are somehow surprised the Dolphins came back down to Earth (and got buried in it). I guess folks just love South Beach, and any possibility of going there to cover the team.

I love Taron, but I'd think of it as more of a Heavy Nickel. Not that Taron can't handle it, but spreading some snaps around might be a smart idea with the way guys were getting dinged.

Don't have one and in fairness, they have been purposely tight-lipped about his actually status, so I may have been a bit too strong in my statements. But I remember that "expiring contract" talk as well, and it was debunked, at least at the time... edit: here's another link: https://www.wxxinews.org/local-news/2023-02-28/bills-dc-frazier-taking-a-year-off-plans-to-return-in-2024

Frazier is definitely still under contract with the Bills. Has not been officially fired and he has not retired. If he ever wants to come back to the NFL, we control that.

For the record, I am not a believer in Tua at all, and hope the Dolphins get stuck setting the QB market with him this offseason. 5 more years of wins for us.

Love Poyer and what he's done for this team, but if he has to wait until December to really turn on his A-game there will be a chance that Rapp unseats him for the starting spot by then. Younger, healthier legs sure seem to make a difference back there.

There was no problem. Miami focused on shutting him down. How'd that work out for them overall? Can't have everyone with HoF stat days. If teams focusing on Cook allow us to score 48 points otherwise, so be it. Just the way this game went.

And for 2 (maybe 3?) weeks in a row, they've cut to him on the sidelines, cutting it up with Diggs and Davis and Milano. Never saw that from the other guy. Love seeing the youngster crossing over and bringing the entire team together.

Oh, let me clarify: Our in-home superstitions absolutely matter. My lucky blue underwear knows this as well. My statement was specific to this board

As a Dolphins fan said on their board "Tua is great from 20 yard line to 20 yard line". But then what... He can get yards, but without those big, explosive plays, he cant get it done.

Love it. He's been carrying receivers deep downfield all year. Kid just gets it, and has the speed to do it. Exactly the type of play we were waiting to see from that other guy. If you arent getting the picks yourself, at least get in the lane to make the QB overthrow. Finally seeing it happen.

Just ignore it and it will hopefulyl go away None of the Bills are here. This may come as a surprise to some of us, myself included, but nothing we do here actually affects anything with the team.
