Free Agency Rumor Thread

[BigAl2526]

I think that since we're now talking about electricians, EMTs and firefighters instead of Free agents, this thread has about run its course.

Sounds like you’re in agreement with my point.

It's amazing how sensitive some fans get about criticism of the Bills.

 

We all know how this team performs in the regular season, their great overall record, and how we consistently march into the playoffs as a supposed Super Bowl contender.  Five straight years we've been in that same position, and haven't even made it to the Super Bowl.

 

Are we just the unluckiest team in the league, and by doing the same thing and fielding the same kind of players year after year... eventually the law of averages will probably work in our favor?  Or is it possible that something on our team (talent, coaching, scheme, etc.)  is holding us back from taking the next step?  

 

 

Well yes, in a way they might be the unluckiest. And yes something is holding them back, just not on our team. They’re called the Kansas City Chiefs and Andy Reid/ Spagnuolo. The Bills are very good, and probably a couple SB appearances by now - if in the NFC. Very possibly a SB Championship as well.

We could also argue they are the luckiest by drafting the best player in the NFL at the most important position.

It's a two way connection though and they know they have to make it work in order for the offense to be successful.  In this analogy you'd have a guaranteed one year salary with the electrician and you'd have to keep giving him more shots to get the wiring right.

That sounds like the plot to a shockingly good 90s sitcom

Other teams have figured out how to get past the Chiefs in those prime moments... (Eagles, Bengals, Bucs)

 

Nobody is questioning if the Bills are good.  

The question is whether the Bills are good ENOUGH.

Your point is more than fair.

Clearly they are not.

Exactly. Can we try to get this back on target please?

LOL.  I tried earlier.  

Lots of these threads get a little tangential to the original topic but this one took a "Thelma and Louise" right off the cliff.

Was he ever a firefighter, electrician, or EMT?

No. He failed the drug test.

And it is definitely, definitely Dalton Kincaid. 
 

How dare a player, who shattered rookie records, maybe still need to develop.

There’s nothing new to share. Wait in the main new thread if we sign someone. No one says you need to come back to this thread.

What "rookie records" did he shatter?    He has the 11th most receiving yards by a rookie TE ever.......even though he was really not also used as an inline TE like almost everyone else on the top 25.   Shattered?  Not close.  His 673 is over 500 yards less than the current rookie record.   He's also the only one on the top 25 to not even average at least 10 yards per catch.   9.2 is pathetic.  Kincaid basically replicated the low impact production from the slot that got Cole Beasley cut after the 2021 season and then followed that up with a much worse sophomore season.   Dude is also going to be 26 this year.  Not some raw kid.

I agree kinkade was disappointing last year and his drop vs KC was unacceptable. I’ll also comment that he played on two bad knees and we have worse issues than him. Safety, dline and certainly CB are more pressing concerns

Yep he didn't play well thru injury either.   Two bad hands as well.
