Josh Allen turning it on last night, can he do it against the Chiefs next week though. Annoyingly thats the late game next Sunday, really would like to watch that one.

He will. No matter how good the Ravens are playing, I see the Bills making it to the SB this year.

Pretty cool video going into some of the concepts that have allowed defenses to stiffle the passing game for the first time in years.

So we hired Shane Waldron as OC. I think we are gearing up to keep Fields to be honest and probably trade down our no 1 pick for a bigger haul of picks.

If that's the case then there will be an abundance of teams willing to mortgage the future by throwing a proverbial shitload at Chicago in order to snag Caleb Williams.

So many QB needy teams all the way to us in 13th - can easily see 4 possibly 5 taken in that time.

Supposedly Champ Kelly was touting for us to keep O'Connell as the starter which didn't carry much favour in the hierarchy so I can imagine now under new GM stewardship of Telesco we will look to get our new QB via the draft or trade for Fields.

Yeah not really sure how I feel. If we could somehow get Marvin Harris Jnr and trade down for some extra picks that would be the best outcome I think.

It's the looming contract extension for Fields that has to weigh heavy on the mindset as talent wise I still think he can lead you into the playoffs if he's surrounded by better talent.

MHJ is a home run hit for any team but then I dare say the WR pool is deep this year and you have some really talented receivers who will be more than serviceable in this league.

The Bears have a decision to make. Honestly, if I were them, I seriously consider moving back & getting a nice haul back for a 2nd year in a row. There will be a litany of teams willing to mortgage the future & bank on Caleb being this incredible franchise QB he's projected to be (i have my doubts on that.). The Bears can grab MHJ & build around Fields. If it still doesnt work out, hey presto, you have the picks to deal to grab a QB.

Given English rugby's money problems I can see a lot more players making the jump. At one point Christian Wade was getting over $400,000 a year at the Bills.
LRZ could easily get between £750k -£1m per year playing in France or Japan, though.
