This was from 2023. What are you doing??

Looks like massive hiring for trades people going on for the Final push.

No worries. But there is no reason to assume the additional targets would all be more bubble screens. He has 100 targets, that is a large baseline, that includes a balance of types of passes and routes he runs. You can't now say to get more targets it only has to be more bubble screens. And again, that is exclusively tied to our offense as well and the type of plays we run for him. But a lot of you talk about him like he is ONLY capable of one type of play yet he has 2 years of showing he can make plays, and hes made a lot of them, all over the field, not just bubble screens. He has elite YAC ability, so Brady designed some quick strike plays to use that, but you and others now hold that against him as if that is his only primary use, which it wasnt. And keep in mind, that he was also the best WR on the team last year, so he was doing this without some bigger threats around him, especially with Keon getting hurt, Kincaid being hurt, and Cooper doing almost nothing. Playing along side another WR and more opens up for him - and in 2023, with Diggs, Davis, and our first round pick Kincaid it was Shakir who led the team in yards receiving after Brady took over showing how much more effective he can be with some other attention around him and not having to rely on just bubble screens. Now keeping up the 2023 efficiency was not realistic, thanks to how elite it was combined with sample size. BUT - It is MORE than fair to assume his true efficiency most likely lies somewhere between 2023 and 2024 where a lot more short throws were brought in as a weapon and helped bring some of the YPC down but still had strong YAC numbers showing his abilities. So again, this notion his efficiency would keep tanking further with each additional target after a large sample size is just not realistic and is a slap in his face to his talents and abilities.

I usually watch it just to see the French countryside. Not a cycling fan. I missed it this year, though.

$2.65 a gallon.

As much as Lamar Jackson was vilified for not having an agent, he was right. Especially with rookie contracts, if not all, pay a lawyer. Pay a fee, not a percentage of the whole contract.

How so? He’s certainly behind St. Brown, Ladd, Godwin, JSN, probably Jayden Reed. That’s just guys off the top of my head. If you count guys that split time like Ceedee Lamb, Zay Flowers, he falls more.

Sorry maybe I misunderstood. 2024 is his floor in what? Efficiency on higher volume? I don’t agree. I think if we tried to give him an extra 50 targets a year, which by definition would include tons of bubble screens and other manufactured targets etc, his efficiency would continue to decline. Would it get below 7 yards per target? Probably not because he’s still a good player. 130-150 targets in a season for Shakir to clear 1000 yards feels right.

No A/C, crazy wait times, cash only…for chicken wings? No thank you.

I think the WSJ is just getting started https://www.wsj.com/finance/jeffrey-epstein-bill-gates-affair-russian-bridge-player-8b2022ff It would be fun to play a rubber of bridge with her.

This. I don't get all the belly aching from our side on this. If a dude like this (severe injury last year, barely played, career high is 938yards) is the sole difference between beating them or not, that's on us. We NEED some crazy criminal court thing to win in the post-season versus them? The dude who went 4/4 47yds, 0 td's against us in 2024 divisional? I get he's a very good talent, but id say the same thing if they cloned and had 2012 Megatron (Moss, Julio, JRice; he's none of these guys). JFGID! Theres a million ways to offset his talent. We can get/develop someone to cover him. Double team. We can have a lights out performance versus the other 10 and force them to be 1-D. We can beat them in a shootout. Hell, we can even BountyGate him, and it'd be less embarrassing LOL Acting like the single only scenario we can beat the Chiefs/win a SB, is to rely on criminal/civil courts to remove him? Weak. The single most pathetic viewpoint. Has there ever been a single SB winner who didn't have to find a way to neutralize a top-10 WR in one or multiple post season games? What are we even talking about here?!?! I sure as hell hope theres not a single/player or coach that holds that viewpoint.

But I didn't advocate or use his efficiency in 2023. I said his 2024 season is probably his floor. The suggestion by the other poster that it continually drops without some sort of base floor where ability, talent, etc mean nothing is not reality. So again, to suggest his efficiency is even worse slightly expanding his existing role off a large sample size of 100 targets in 2024, which already establishing a more than reasonable expectation of production, is just not realistic.

A friend is in The Buffalo Wing Coalition. The group constantly rates and updates rankings for wings in the city. 911 is only 1 of 5 places in the Tier 1 Elite category. The others, in no particular order, are Bar Bill (original), Kelly’s Korner, Adolf’s and Sonny Red’s. I’m sad that I’ve only been to 2 of those.

Are any wings worth a 90-minute wait to get a table? Nope.

This is the definition of manufacturing touches though. That’s how you get him to 76 balls in a season. You have to get creative with how to use him. You can’t say, “we will take 2023 Shakir and only use the 2023 Shakir plays and just call them 55 more times.” You see this a lot with guys like him. Curtis Samuel, who isn’t the caliber of player as Shakir, had his ADOT and his touches change dramatically in Carolina with Brady. Samuel had 105 targets with 54 catches in 2019. An ADOT of 14.6. In 2020, Brady took over and changed his role entirely. He saw his ADOT drop in half. Got a similar amount of targets and ended up with a career year in catches, yards, YAC, etc etc. I think the moral of the story is if you want 2023 elite efficiency Shakir, you have to use him in 2023 ways at lower volume. And as awesome as his efficiency stats were, his totals will suffer used sporadically. He’s more value to these Bills at higher volume with lower efficiency. But I don’t think he’s ever gonna combine 2024 volume with 2023 efficiency. And if his volume continues to increase, which imo means MORE balls behind the LoS and more short stuff, his efficiency will imo continue to drop. Maybe not as much of a drop as 2024 because there is an obvious floor. Julian Edelman’s yards per touch his 4 most targeted seasons were all below his career averages. Not dramatically so, but that’s what they were.

This would be damning if at all true, can you elaborate?

Have no idea on the food but I can confirm this for the Ravens game.

Anyone who believes the story as likely true without seeing the letter is too gullible to argue with. If they release the letter I will believe it and then try and determine whether it is authentic

Anything. period. I know my roll in this house.

Pedo worshipers.

yup. they've been instructed by the maga "elites" to ignore it.
