Who is watching the Pegs Jet to see if it takes off from Buffalo and goes to Buffalo to pick up Mack? 1 1

When Baltimore did it, Flacco was playing on a level way higher than Tyrod is capable of playing at. I'll give you Trent Dilfer, but the odds of winning a Superbowl via the "great defense" route are slim. Mack doesn't change this team's win/loss column enough to justify the cost. I'd have to disagree. You add Mack, you have the makings of a perhaps legendary defense. combine that with the drafting of offensive weapons in rounds 2-7 next draft, plus other off season OL additions and you add a few wins. You potentially limit the other team to 10 points or fewer per game. Mack, Edmunds and Milano is a scary trio.

Then, you have to hope that your offensive weapons in rounds 3-7 become Pro Bowlers. You want to take that chance, just for the opportunity to wear a red, white and blue Khalil Mack jersey on Sundays?

I'm sick of seeing post-game footage where opposing QB's jerseys look like the end result of a detergent commercial. Not sure I'd pay that much, but you underestimate what Mack brings to the table.

whatdrought Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 Long thread about what Mack would really cost.

He is/was in Buffalo working out not too long ago so I would guess he wouldn't be too opposed. I think he denied any interview requests from the local Buffalo media and then wouldn't answer any questions as to why. Also wouldn't answer any questions about Buffalo. And it was kinda strange behavior because he's played the Bills before and never had any issue speaking the Buffalo media. But I'm sure he still has friends and whatnot here so, hey ya never know, could be a chance. 1

I just don't know what to say. You're just not looking at it in the right light... 1

Well....not from me. I included the Donald Penn rumor in this thread The object of the game is to get better.....Donald Penn is pretty good. I am a biuld through draft guy but if the price is right free agents at key positions help. Just now, whatdrought said: Expecting Mack and getting Penn would be a major bummer. We are expecting Mack?

We're bills fans. We're expecting Mack, whether or not it makes any sense. And while I agree that it seems unrealistic that we would get Mack, I don't agree with your reasoning. We haven't seen the front office spend any money yet because they've been gutting the team down to the studs and rebuilding it their way. This incurred a lot of dead cap that they knew they would need to eat. Now is the time to spend. 1

They still have not done it...when I see them do it I will believe it....so far its been about trading away big contracts, accumulating draft picks, and getting players at the right price. That might change....but they have not done it.
