I’m guessing Bailey and Baptiste must’ve been on the trade block since last deadline.

I would’ve thought for sure Edmonton would’ve grabbed Baptiste or even both.

- washedup20


I thought I remember during GMTM's era, it was reported that someone wanted Bailey in one of his trades and he said he wasn't letting him go. I don't remember the details and which trade it was though. Hindsight is 20/20 i guess.
I also wouldn't be surprised if virtually everyone was available at the deadline last year and we got no bites. Not a lot of interest in the players on the 31st team in the standings.

Where do you see them going points-wise?
- jcragcrumple



Depending on a number of factors i could see anything from 80-90 points. I mean, if they can hang around a playoff spot long enough, they may add in Feb, that'd help push the total.

Ultimately it comes down to what the rookies can add and what Hutton and Ullmark can bring in net. Your guess is as good as mine but I remain on the low end on that projection only because Hutton had it really good behind the Blues D in St Louis.

Where do you see them finishing at?

I can see them with the same problems and I can see them doing a Devils or Avsesque turnaround. I honestly have no idea where they'll end up.

Welp, given that:
-the Bills are likely at least another year away from competing for a playoff position (2020 season)
-McCoy will have another 2 seasons of wear and tear on him when they areready to compete
-McCoy is still a premiere back who could be valuable to a team built to win now
-Pittsburgh is now reportidly shopping Bell
-the Steelers are still in it, but need help fast to stay close
-Bills are clearly retooling and could use the cap space and draft pick for McCoy if traded

I'd say that time is right to contact the Steelers and work out a trade.
They need all the currency they can accummulate, it just makes sense.

Nobody Is taking on the $9m+ cap hit and trading for McCoy.

Btw if I'm a browns fan I'd be livid. Officials screwed them out of a victory.

Meh, one never knows.
They trade Bell as the are said to be looking into, they will save money.
Likely the only team able to do it.

Josh Allen is horrible. Bad in college, bad in the pro's (loved how they took a project QB at 7...real smart). Yes, I know that the OL is horrible, but he's just bad. Also, the D line is horrible, the LB's are horrible, the DB's are mostly horrible...the WR's are horrible, and again, the rookie QB is horrible (even if he had a line, i'm pretty sure he'd still be horrible). The only decent players on the entire team are Tredavious, the punter, and the kicker. That's it. Back to Allen. I've said it before and i'll say it again : 56% completion percentage in college - JP Losman was 57% - enough said. They fell in love with his arm, took him at 7 and have set themselves back yet again at the QB position. Will they EVER get it right ?

Whew, that feels better. Carry on.

Any of you other buzzers go to the game today?

What a poop show.

I like Allen, but it was a rough game. He didn't look READY.

Benjamin was half running routes.

Benjamin sucks...and appears to be an A-hole
Good thing he is showing the league what he has in his contract year.

Because you sound more and more foolish by the post, the O line is horrible and he is the present and the future. They said almost the same about Goff and the Rams.

And the Rams were SMART
and sat Goff for half the season

How’s that working for them?!

Goff sat behind Keenum though... and Mahomes behind Smith. Mayfield was supposed to sit but Taylor sucks. Rosen was supposed to sit but Bradford sucks. Allen has all the tools but this isnt college anymore. The o-line is trash and he has nothing to throw the ball too. If anything he is losing confidence playing right now.

Stop making sense

These guys are WAY too emotional to listen to reason

im wondering if Bailey would accept the fact that he's probably a career 4th liner/PK'er and takes Pommenvilles place either if he's traded at the deadline or after he retires/contract is over?
I think it would be an ideal role for him considering his size and footspeed.

Worth a call at least

And for all those who think I’m super negative about the Bills...
i think we will actually have a good chance at the playoffs next year
IF
they actually DEVELOP Allen instead of just getting him killed
and they fill some holes with all that Cap Space

Are you ready to have an actual convo,
instead of just being a d!ck?!
Bc then fine... I’d love to

Half the reason not to play Allen is bc we don’t have sh!t around him
Did the Rams have Woods in Goff’s rookie year?
Did they have Cooks?
Did they have Kupp?

Do u even make ANY correlation at all?

Dude...
why is it so hard for u guys to see that Allen is just back there getting beat the f#ck up...
and NOT...
actually getting BETTER @ playing QB?!

Seriously...
i get that u guys were all pumped about the athletic plays he made last week
THEY WERE GREAT

But there weren’t plays that showed his progress as a QB
Just like there weren’t today

WE ARE GONNA RUIN THIS KID

No, i can’t prove it
It’s just my opinion

I’ll say it again...
ITS JUST MY OPINION

SORRY YOU GUYS ARE ALL BUTHURT LITTLE B!TCHES
