Buffalo Bills 2024 Thread

[Night Train]

All the contract talk among any good Vet seems imposing towards getting them in a Bills uniform. Yet it's not coming out of my checking account..

Metcalf is the one that stands out to me. He catches everything and hustles like few do. Freakish build. That's a call any decent GM makes to his agent. 

Try..

All these primadonna wide recievers all seem to have attitude issues.  Not sure I would bring them into the current Bills culture, just to see them fail.

He caught 61% of this targets last year. He's 81st in WR catch% right around guys like Allen Lazard and Xavier Worthy. Khalil Shakir for comparison was 8th (ik, they would play different positions)

In not sure Josh needs or wants a true #1 WR that he feels he has to force feed the ball to.  He was very successful with his “everyone eats” style of play.  And I don’t think it was a lack of a true #1 WR that hurt us.  It was honestly just the D.

I was gonna say - Metcalf makes me think of certain things, but being a sticky-hands, catch-everything guy isn't one of them.

But he's definitely a player who would fill needs that the Bills have. (In some ways, he'd provide the Bills with a proven NFL player who already does what the team wants Coleman to do.)

I think those resources would be better devoted to acquiring help on the D-line.

Metcalf had 4 drops on 77 "catchable" targets which puts him tied for 43rd on the drop list.

Cooper had 12 drops on 56 "catchable" targets which put him at #2 on the drops list.

Shakir had 1 drop on 83 "catchable" targets

Rousseau extended 4 years. His 53 QB pressures were 4th in the NFL.

Also extended LS Reid Ferguson 4 years. He's been our Long Snapper for the last 145 games. Tops in Bills history.

This is a steal.

All these extensions have created a lot more cap space for 2025. Beane has room to maneuver.

Agreed. But you wouldn’t think so reading TBD. Half of them hated the extension because …. Reasons. Besides, it’s always about the terms and conditions (I.e., the ‘fine print’).

Whelp, no Myles Garrett.  Next idea?

The Bills' receiving corps was one of the worst in the league at getting separation. Imagine how much more deadly it would be if they could get open.

[Porous Five Hole]

Josh Allen got paid. And he got his bag while keeping the percentage of cap in check for the team.  Amazing!

There can be a lot of knocks on Stoner but doom and gloom isn't really my thing. I don't go into any Sabres season, for example, thinking they are destined to fail. I just wait and see.

That said, it'll be Week Two.
