billybrew1 Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 I don’t know? Maybe a great GM needs to throw costs into the wind and just get that guy that gives you a much better shot at a SB? The Broncos paid that Cowboys Pass Rusher a ton to give them two and they won a SB. We’re still looking for one…. Can we say this? A great GM finds a way to win a SB…. 2 Quote

Are we quibbling over $2 million to improve a major weakness on the roster? Every free agent gets overpaid when they switch teams. For impact players you do it anyways. 1 2 Quote

We forget the Bills were also in on Von Miller. Imagine Von Miller on the Bills last playoffs. Does he make at least one sack on Mahomes to kill a drive? Maybe. Would have cost the Bills a 2nd round pick+, but who knows. We had a bunch of Beane 2nd round picks sitting on the bench vs KC. 1 minute ago, billsfan1959 said: Nope. Liar. 1 Quote

I'd also try to run a team that was both financially sustainable and could win games at a high enough level to keep my job. Dont see how reckless spending makes the Bills a better team but thats just me I guess, 2 2 Quote
Success Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 I mean, clearly, we couldn't have afforded him. There is still a cap in place. Quote

If you told me the next 10 years would be predetermined in one of two ways and there was nothing the organization could do to change it, I would choose to win a championship followed by another 9 years in the basement. They could never take that excitement and joy away for finally getting over that hill. If the alternative was 10 winning seasons, each year in the playoffs but never a Super Bowl win, the team would be much more fun to watch, but probably even more frustrating. Give me the championship. We went 17 years without the playoffs with nothing to show for it. Edited March 16, 2022 by JayBaller10 1 Quote

Ask a Red Sox Fan, a Cubs fan, or any other fan that waited for a championship and finally got one. My guess is that each time their season ends without a championship, they don't think about the one they did win. They are just as miserable as they were every in every other season their team didn't win it all. Quote
Coffeesforclosers Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 Well, at least he didn't go to New England. And he gets to beat up on Russel Wilson, Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert for the rest of his career. Quote

That was Darcy Reiger. That's where the "Do something Darcy" saying came from. I'm just seeing a lot of similarities. I have no doubt we're going to be a contender, we have Allen. But we're going to need more. Quote

Success Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 It's not like Chandler Jones would be our 2022 Bruce Smith. He's a nice player, but that's too much money. We need more of a pass rush, but there are a few other ways to get there. Quote
