I no longer accept excuses for this bedraggled franchise. There is no excuse for not qualifying for the playoffs (in an expanded system) in a generation. 

I'm not a despairing fan. I recognize that there is a good chance that we will make the playoffs this year. But I'm not going allow excuses to rationalize this generational failure. Our record is our record. Bad hockey decisions made on top of bad decisions resulting where we are now, and where we have been for a generation. That is not acceptable to me. There are plenty of reasons why the many players in this league have no trade clauses to Buffalo in their contracts. It has little to do with the city as it has to do with how our franchise is viewed by outsiders.  

Reinhart is one of the best players on a Stanley Cup team He's also an upper echelon player in the league. We had him in our system and had the ability to retain him. The GM decided not to do so. It was not a good decision. No GM makes decisions where all turn out right. However, our GMs have a history of making enough bad decisions that have kept this franchise mired in the muck of mediocrity. No more excuses!

I give you one point for the use of the word "bedraggled".   It fits my golf game the last two times out.   I am heading out soon to un-bedraggle it.

Dawson Knox.

Ok, we are at the halfway point of the season. Ok, 8 games used to be the halfway point, not we have a 17 game season but close enough.

Knox. In 8 games, they have thrown him the ball 11 times and he has 7 receptions.

Now I know he is good blocking, but he's on a pace for under 20 receptions, and I read his cap hit is over $14m next year and over $17m the year after. 

Maybe hes a good blocker, but they can't keep him around at those numbers, can they?

Josh Allen loves Dawson Knox. I suspect he is going nowhere. I wouldn't judge his season just yet. He may wind up being the star of a game against the Chiefs or Lions. He has his moments.

Next year probably. The Bills won’t be so desperate to get rid of him for the cost (ex, Diggs). ‘26 is a different story. While he has a sizable salary the Bills would save over $9m on the cap by releasing him. Also wouldn’t be surprised to see Knox take a pay cut to stay.
