What’s Biden at?

I think that had a lot to do with Josh rushing 9 times a game. I’m not sure that’s a sustainable season long pace to win a Super Bowl, personally. Which I care a lot more about. I’m not worried about them starting slow. I’m worried about forcing Allen to be Superman from the jump.

Are we just going to ignore we went from a long way from the playoffs at 5-5 with losses to losers like the Jets, Broncos, etc...to winning the division and the #2 seed? The only stat I care about is the Win column. Wait...you think he meant we are trying to copy their failures? Was that your real response to him? Lol.

Good reply, here are my thoughts: I dont think its that I expect more from Keon than you do to be honest, I think its more that I don't think a 1300-1400+ yard WR1 is as critical as you do. I think a diverse WR core who are smart, have reliable hands, are tough, and can run good routes is also a dangerous WR room. Based on things you have said now and in the past, I feel like you define a WR1 more by season totals instead of their actual role on the field. For example, when I say Keon is our WR1 and will play that role this year, I am not saying I expect him to put up 1300+ yards this year as a rookie. He can be a WR1 and still put up 900 to 1100 yards this year and be very effective in his role. This team is being built not to lean on one guy like it did Diggs and when Diggs was taken out the offense struggled. Its being built so that any guy out there can make the play on any given play and you can't just key on one guy to shut this offense down like in years past. Do I think Keon has 1300+ yard potential...yes I do. But I am not expecting him to this season as a rookie, nor do I think we need him to. I won't knock McConkey, I think he is a very good prospect and has a bright future and would have been excited if we drafted him too. But I think Keon's unique size, catch radius, and rare athleticism for his size was just a better fit for our group. We needed someone who can be open even when not open, who is a dawg, and give Allen a big reliable target, especially in the cold weather games and playoff games. Gotcha...well the money is actually going somewhere, and it is WR as we have a $31M cap hit for Diggs this year. So for me, I think Beane is going to see how this group does this year, how Keon plays, and then reassess next season. If this season shows we need to address WR with a big move, then next year Beane will have the cap flexibility and ammo to do so if he feels that is what is best for the team.

I'm not ignoring it. There was something broken in the offense, specifically the passing and why the offensive coordinator was fired. Yeah, Allen wasn't sharp but he was still top 5 in MVP because he had a lot of total production. Patrick Mahomes just had his worst statistical year and won another Super Bowl. There isn't a great QB in the history of the league that didn't have bad stretches or down years. I'm not concerned as concerned as you because again, that wasn't Brady's offense and its now obvious Diggs was disgruntled. Those little screen passes to him was just to please him and get him the ball. The bond they once had was gone and so was the on field chemistry. I will be concerned if the first month we start slow because that's now 100% Brady's offense and play calling. He doesn't have excuses now.

Was that the Chiefs plan though? They have drafted Worthy, Moore, Rice in the last 3 years. Signed Juju, Brown, MVS etc. Traded for Toney. Traded for Hardman. I’d argue the Chiefs WR room the last two seasons did not go according to plan, at all. They failed to execute their plan. Intentionally copying the result of an execution failure is certainly one strategy lol.

Yep, for sure, and our defense is going to win us games in the playoffs, like always.

I think they're trying to copy the KC offense of the past two seasons. Funnel the passing offense through the TEs and RBs. MVS as the field stretcher but rarely actually throw the ball deep. Big outside, quick/fast inside, with a primary TE that effectively plays WR. Grind out efficient drives, don't make mistakes, the QB will make a few magic plays to will his team down the field. That's what the ingredients tell me the plan is. I obviously don't think we have the offensive coaching or IOL to execute that style of offense, but I think that's the plan. Of course the Chiefs themselves barely managed to execute that plan last year but maybe we'll show them up?

Hoax. Trump’s fling with Stormy happened in 2006. He could have paid her off then but he waited 10 years to address this AFTER the Access Hollywood tape came out days before the election. Melania had ZERO to do with this transaction.

plenty as in just above the bare minimum or plenty as in among the most in the league Also, how’s that stress looking if Josh is only minimally running?

This NYR-FLA series has been nuts. 3rd straight game going into OT

Was also there for that and man, it was HOT. Definitely plan on being back there in 2025. Got a great hookup on seats through my wife’s aunt & uncle who have seats on visitors side 50 yardline a few rows up 😳

I graduated from Lancaster the same year the Majik man graduated from Depew. He was a really good athlete in HS, I played basketball against him, but once he went to college he went next level. I remember playing pickup basketball with him at the Boys club one break when we were in college - wasn't often guys were throwing down jams at will at the Lancaster Boys Club back in the day 😛

I think you have the wrong impression. I don't care what they put there. I just think it's odd nothing is there. Seems like an opportunity missed. When you can do this....

Well my original response was to you saying since 2021...so feels like you swapped to 2020 when you realized Cole and the rest of the WR's not named Diggs didn't do a whole lot. But overalll, I still say the 2023 offense is better than any year of Allens career in terms of overall talent because there is MORE than receivers on offense. 2020 Diggs vs 2023 Diggs 2020 Diggs may be the best player Allen has played with, but the 2023 team still had Diggs as I said, and his demise is greatly exaggerated when the reality is the change in the OC from Daboll to Dorsey/Brady is substantially more impactful on the different level of production for Diggs as the whole offensive philosophy was different. So Diggs vs Diggs has a slim difference at best. 2nd option: 2020 Cole Beasley vs 2023 Dalton Kincaid Kincaid put up 81 catches as a rookie to Coles 82...so not a huge difference, but Cole had more yards, so he gets the edge over Kincaid, but its not like its a massive difference. 3rd option: 2020 Gabe Davis vs 2023 Gabe Davis Now you have Davis vs Davis...I think everyone understands a WR in year 4 is a better player than when he was a rookie...and Davis had more yards and catches in 2023 than he did as WR3 in 2020, so edge to 2023 Davis. 4th option: 2020 John Brown vs 2023 Khalil Shakir Shakir had the superior season, not to mention Shakir had more catches and yards on almost 20 less targets than even Gabe Davis did in 2020, who was the 3rd option in that offense. And considering Cook had more targets than Shakir, he was technically the 5th option from a targets count perspective, and still put up more rec and yards than Davis did in 2020. John Brown only played 9 games and didn't produce like he did in previous years when he did play. And the reality is that Shakir actually led the team in receiving and was the only guy to put up 100 yard game (twice) once Brady became the OC. Had Brady been the OC the whole season and used Shakir the same, his season would have eclipsed Cole Beasley's too. But then there is the OL which 2023 was clearly the best OL Allen has ever had to go with also his best RB and run game he has had in his entire career with a 1200 yard rusher in Cook who also was an effective weapon out of the backfield too. So sorry, the offense is made up of more than just the receivers. And while 2020 Bills had the best individual WR season which was Diggs best of his career, the 2023 roster overall was better.

There are a lot of things that drivers do to anger me but I also get irritated by pedestrians. A couple of things that come to mind: 1. When a clearly able-bodied pedestrian takes their time crossing the street as cars wait for them. 2. People walking in the street, even if it's on the side, when there is a sidewalk right next to them.

I’d be cautious about predicting how the jury reacts to these things. Interpreting credibility from reports and transcripts is a very different thing than being in the room.

league leaders in what again?

I think that's easily explained by the foot injury he had... arguably one of the more impactful injuries the team had once White got hurt...and Elam's injury was was very early in training camp when iirc he was getting some positive reviews before he got hurt. Then the fans not know the entire season basically other than he was on IR and it sounds like Beane didn't know either until after it was obvious he was significantly injured and put on IR, so they couldn't really be super aggressive to replace White after he got hurt, because they figured they had Elam...at least that's how I am piecing how things went down

All our resident Beanologists and their interpretations of the quotes according to Beane. What happened to "Don't expect Coleman to be the starter week 1" or "I would never do a rebuild as long as I have Josh Allen as my QB". With so many Beane quotes, I'm glad we have people who can definitively interpret and explain the contradictions that arise. Who do you consider the top WR on the Bills roster right now for the 2024 season? Because it really wouldn't change my overall mantra from before, which was: "Beane is a great GM, a great GM would never have C Samuel as his top WR" to something like "Beane is a great GM, a great GM would never count on a second round WR, 8th WR taken, as his expected top WR" - which should really bring home why I don't think he is done.

We should know soon, but at this point I’d be very surprised if they make a big move this offseason.

That’s all well and good, but do you think it’s reasonable to say that Shakir is going to continue to be a rising star because he was pretty good under Brady post Denver, and also ignore that Josh Allen was a much worse passer under Brady post Denver? Like I said, I’m not killing Brady because I agree it’s not really reasonable to expect a whole new offense midseason. But is there any concern there at all? Josh was basically posting 2018/2019 numbers during that stretch.
