Remember that Oliver’s cap space for next year is already allocated via the option. Extending him beyond that will probably actually save money on next years cap by turning option money into bonus money.

Maybe, but I doubt it. His 10 mill cap hit is probably best scenario. His market value according to Spotrac is ~14-15 million. We can defer money, but they have a lot of those contracts now.
Don't forget, the bills are 11 million over the projected cap already without any obvious cap casualties that could save a boat load of money.
I guess this is where we'll find out how much of a wizard Beane really is with the cap.
One thing is clear, the idea of the bills signing OBJ is an absolute pipe dream. They simply can't afford it.

I know a lot of people predicted this during the game but still good to see.

Zach Wilson's been benched for this week, at least.
I still can't believe we lost to the ****ing Jets with that idiot at QB

So, I've taken a few minutes to look at the Lions wins.
Basically, the keys are pretty simple:
- Get to Goff
- Don't turn the ball over.
That's really it. In their last 3 wins they've gotten 6 interceptions, including a pick six late vs the Bears in a one score game. Their secondary is really really bad. They have a good d-line....and they are missing one of their top corners. Hutchinson is a stud. But oh boy is their secondary bad. They also struggled mightily against Fields scrambling.
I feel much better about the game now. Hopefully we can get up early and hand a healthy dose of running game in the 2nd half.

Yeah they’ve been playing better but I agree. I haven’t seen much of Hutchinson so far this year aside from highlights but I was really impressed with him in college last year.
I’m hoping for a big Bills win tomorrow and a big U of M win on Saturday but that is a taller older especially if Corum is out.

He's not to the point where he's an every-play disaster-in-waiting like Garrett or a Bosa, but he's gonna get there soon.
Still could ruin things if his timing is right though.

The kicker the Pats took before Bass (Rosweiler) in the draft is out of the league. I know the Colts waived Blankenship also.

Lions are a good team that play hard, Williams leads the nfl in rb TD's so another tough running game test. They will without Okuda at corner.

They've generally been able to move the ball pretty well, even with Goff's limitations, but it looks like both of their starting guards will be out. Hopefully Ed, Phillips, and Jones feast and force Goff to try and make plays out of structure.

I can't wait to see Tre out there again. Hopefully it's this week!

Yeah. Morse was out for the Miami game and there were several bad snaps from Van Roten or whoever was filling at at center.

Bates told Fairburn that he'll be at center should Morse not play. On mobile or I'd link the article.
I'm surprised Bass didn't get AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. I think he accounted for about 50% of the offense himself.

Preparing PHASE TWO!
I mean, there was a game winning punt return TD this week. Tough to top that.

Last minute game winning punt return in a game with zero offense to speak of is hard to compete against.
I get it. And I'm sure Milano making the AFC Defensive Player of the Week figured into the decision as well.
But going a perfect 6/6, matching a franchise record, and accounting for 61% of the team's total production in a win... that's not exactly an every day occurrence in the NFL.
Regardless, it's great that Milano finally got a little love for his play.

A punt return to win the game with 5 seconds left in the game is an even more rare occurrence than what Bass did.
That PR earned the STPOW, no question.

Bass will get his sooner or later. He's only in his 3rd year, and he already shared the franchise record he tied Sunday with Steve Christie. Eventually he'll break it.
