Good thing with that is he used bonus money in a bunch of those years, they can turn that into signing bonuses and it will help with the Cap in some ways. Kicking the can down the road a bit but in 3yrs it shouldn't hurt as much when the Cap shoots up.

The bills started this past offseason also over the cap.

It will be fine. Allen might end up with 40 out of 45 million in cap space some years

- Sabretooth9


The Saints were 100 million dollars over the cap this year. I think they only cut 1 player and still freed up about 150 million in space.

It’s a non issue.

The Bills still had a lot of the same issues on both sides of the ball yesterday. While some of it had to do with the whacky circumstances, that wasn't the only explanation. Short week or no, they need to drop a 40-spot as a sort of "get right" game on Thursday.

We’re already over the Cap for next year
Not sure how we’re gonna add WRs

The cap isn't real. Change my mind.

Edmunds
Idc what the fans want. I’m ok upgrading him, but that won’t be easy- and it’ll cost $$$

Singletary
is a good enough RB- when we actually use him
But we aren’t gonna use an RB enough to need a “feature back”
A guy like Henry isn’t necessary here- as he won’t be used enough to justify what we’d have to pay him
Whether we bring back Singletary, or bring in a different RB in free agency, it’s gonna cost us a bit
We’ll need someone to pit with Cook though

I never said i wanted to spend “big money” on any UFA guards
Just said they need improvement
And i haven’t looked into what Guards would be available either

- jdfitz77



Rb is loaded in draft this year. Some saying one of the deepest class in recent memory. Can draft a guy in 3rd, and pair with cook. No need to pay a RB. Guard has def been a struggle this year. Can see us using our 2nd on a lineman this year

Milano had a big game. And someone needs to show the Bills CB how to turn there heads.
- Buff36



He was player of the game along with Bass. That's two games this year where he was best guy on field

Random side note: My sisters went to the Bills game and loved the dome stadium. They didn’t freeze and no weather.

They thought it was perfect

Yeah sure I agree, and kicking the can caught up with them. So there cap had a hand in them being 4-7. Beane just needs to be smart and try and keep this window open as long as he can.

slow start

d stopped chubb after first quarter

ran the ball well, without leaning on allen

game was never in question once singletary scored the td in 3rd quarter

no turnovers

no practice

crazy 72 hrs before game


I think all is well if we get average play and an easy win again this thursday

History isn’t kind to teams who go this long without a point. Since 2000, 26 teams have had a streak of at least eight consecutive regulation losses. Of those, 17 finished the season last or second to last in the NHL standings. Of those 26 teams, zero made the playoffs, and the 2018-19 Blackhawks had the best finish at 18th in the NHL.

Girgensons should be back tonight.
Everything is fine.....

Going to my first game tomorrow.

Got a free ticket.

Should be interesting haven’t been in awhile.

A lot of people back in town. Will the arena be at least a little full?

So many jokes to make, so let's just ask: Is Girgs a part of most 8+ game losing streaks in NHL history? Quick look makes this look like his 5th.

Chiefs traded a top 3 wideout in the NFL in Tyreek Hill for picks cause they needed the cap space.

They also let Tyrann Matthieu walk in free agency.

Even in a retool year they will get the #1 seed though.

A re-tool year?

They’re going to resign JuJu, they’re going to keep Toney, Kelce is staying, so is MVS

They aren’t “re-tooling” this is literally they’re new core of weapons

They traded Tyreek Hill because they didn’t wanna pay Tyreek Hill $27 million a year. The same reason Green Bay traded Davante Adams and Tennessee traded AJ Brown.

Mahomes is already an all time great, and is definitely winning MVP this year barring something crazy happening

But the Chargers are a joke every single year, and the Bills literally scored more points than KC yesterday and gave up less points.

KC is still very beatable

They “re-tooled” when they traded Tyreek & then brought in JuJu & MVS, & drafted Skyy Moore
