Ouch. That contract looking like a train wreck now.

should have signed Hassan Reddick instead. The one Panther we didn't actually get.

Signing him was a good move, it just didn't work out.  They really have to start spending the resources on offense though.

 

Gonna take some big moves to clear space to address the offense this off-season.

They've already restructured quite a few guys already.  For the credit McBeane receives building the roster, they went for broke this season and next season the bill starts coming due.

Well .... we could be the 49rs and be down to Mr Irrelevant as our starting QB

I didn't expect a torn ACL but I truly didn't expect him to play again this season as it was. Hopefully he can be ready to go by September or so.

 

To me, this makes the #1 seed harder but more important. This team needs as much rest and healing as possible. If the AFC goes through Orchard Park, the Bills will be in the Super Bowl whether we have Von or not.

You THINK you know what I meant, from your compartment.

 

“No, genius.

If the MRI was read correctly, he could've had the surgery sooner.

As it stands, if Miller takes a year to rehab, he's back in Dec. '23.”

 

This is what you said. This is flat out wrong. Again, even in Tre’s case, where the scan  revealed immediately that his ACL was torn, he did not have surgery right away. he had it weeks later. Know why? Of course you don’t. But you can look it up instead of wasting time here embarrassing yourself and calling people names for correcting you.

I thought the Jets benched him for Mike White.

Maybe AJ Klein can em slide into more of a pass rush role. Like he did against Seattle a few years ago. Maybe we can get a Lorax type run out of a veteran ST guy…

How so?

 

2023 season: $18.705 million cap hit

2024 season: $21.205 million cap hit

 

OPTION: Cut Von Miller on June 1, 2025

 

2025 season: $3.705 million cap hit

2026 season: $3.705 million cap hit

2027 season: $0.0 million cap hit

 

Trust the process. Brandon Beane knows what he's doing.

It's the problematic turf at:

1. Ford Field

2. Paycor Stadium 

3. Caesars Superdome

4. Lucas Oil Stadium 

5. US Bank Stadium 

6. MetLife Stadium

they gave him the good meds 😂

AJ Klein needs to step up in place of Von Miller.

[babulator]

ACL's typically take 2 years before players feel comfortable again. Not good.

Not having Hyde and Miller in the playoffs might be too much to overcome.

hmm, i am not counting Hyde out just yet...highly unlikely, but not 100% yet either.

 

And Crowder i think is making good progress..may see him for the playoffs as well

Same with Groot. This is his time to become the game-wrecker we know he can be. 

[The Firebaugh Kid]

Any vets out there worth bringing in?

Isn't that what Barkley had? It took some time, but he is finally playing like the player the Giants had hoped for.

[Coach Tuesday]

The "we can't catch a break" crowd is projecting their own life-pessimism onto the Bills.  

 

A less-talented Bills team was one coaching-related brain-fart away from putting away a more talented Chiefs team.

 

Every team suffers injuries.

 

Not every team chases a ring like the Bills did this offseason.  It's unfortunate that this particular signing didn't work out but it was the right move.  But as I said upthread, the smarter path to success would be to lean into the strength of the team, JA17, and focus on protecting him and giving him weapons.
