I’ve reconsidered. Now it’s Baltimore, but still exciting for end of May.

You better keep refreshing then

Just watched Around the Horn, and when they talked possible landing spots for Hopkins, no one even mentioned the Bills....they brought up the Cowboys, Chiefs, Patriots, but no Bills....won’t they be surprised when he becomes a Buffalo Bill

and with that overly simplistic mindset, Beane should have spent all this "potential dhop $" on improving RT, LG, and RG in FA.  

 

instead he upgraded our guards, and found supporting options.  This is a better team already, on paper, than LY.  It's not supporting Gabe vs Josh, it's understanding this isn't the last year of the NFL and Beane is wisely considering future salary cap impications/roster build.

Beane has failed to solidify both sides of the lines. The oline has been problematic for years now. Giving Beane props this year almost seems too little too late. Besides do we really know if this moves will produce positive results? 

 

The Dline looks really thin and Beane's misses are glaring. Relaying on a aging Von Miller coming off a serious injury doesn't exude confidence. 

 

Bottom line is Beane didn't do enough when Allen was on his rookie contract. That was the optimal time to thrive and upgrade the trenches and offensive weapons. KC did it, Cinci did it, Philly did it, Jags did it, Miami did it, etc...Beane didn't do it. No one seems to get this point. 

 

Will Dhop help Buffalo? Absolutely! Is he the missing piece? Who knows?

I really think it’ll be between Chiefs and Bills unless someone throws stupid money at him.

 

When it comes to most targets, more money, and championship odds it’s hard not to come away thinking Chiefs may be the top landing spot. 

I agree and they are pretty thin at WR too. The Chiefs make the most sense. Dhop in a Chiefs uniform makes them instantly better. That's pretty daunting...

Patriots? Like he wants Mccorkle throwing to him and last place in the AFC East.

Is he signed yet?

One of the guys did mention the Bills as an interesting spot, but he also said he hopes New England goes after him.

I know.....at least Tony Reali made fun of the guy for suggesting he would want to go to the Pats.

I keep checking Bills website fir a Bills undercover video showing Von practicing his gm moves while he works out a deal for D Hop to sign a 1 yr deal.  DHop can get his ring with the Bills and will have big $$ offered next year if he wants more than we could pay.

You never stop regurgitating the same things over and over and over and over and over and over in every thread.

I didn't say Davis was the only reason. But he failed to make a few plays that would have earned us the #1 seed. He dropped a pass against the Bengals that was our last hope of at least staying in the game. And now there is an obvious upgrade available. Think about what you're saying here - your argument is that because the team has multiple problems, we shouldnt bother trying to fix one of them? That doesn't make any sense at all.

What I'm saying is that Hopkins isn't going to be free and while the team can finagle some money for him I'd rather that money be spent towards other, bigger, problems.

 

I also don't think Hopkins is as good as he was and what people have in their heads isn't what's going to be the actual Hopkins that arrives.  Hence, the actual upgrade won't be that big.  I can think of other ways to spend that money.

17 pages is weak.  Let's go boys

While I agree the money will talk in this one, I have no doubt he will take less if the highest offer comes from the Patriots. I think the Jets, Bills and Chiefs are frontrunners. Maybe even the Browns if they can create some space

1 - Cut players don't mess with this formula

2- We're beyond the date for messing with comp picks

DHOP in a chiefs uniform makes them instantly better? Well yeah. Is there a team DHOP could sign with where he wouldn’t make the team better?

Right.

 

Like the time Von picked the Cowboys over us.
