Yea agreed - that was the point I was trying to make with Bernard. The Bills love him because he is in every way reliable. He lines up correctly, he gets others lined up correctly and he is assignment sound. He is a leader and a mature professional off the field. There were excuses for the regression in 2024, and even on 2024 form I'm not arguing Bernard was a problem or a weak link or anything.... I'm just saying for me to like the contract long term there needs to be some more of the 2023 playmaking. On pro bowls vs all pros I get ya but to me I think 1st team all pro comes first, then 2nd team all pro and then pro bowler.

I honestly don't know why the league would give Atlanta a 3rd shot. Houston and KC (IMHO) should be next in line if the league wants expansion.

I personally think this post is extremely bad juju and should be terminated with prejudice. But that's just me.

My guess is that Iran is stalling. Israel has control of the skies. Iran wants to protect what it has, rebuild air defenses, and then restart nuke work. Only now, after this episode, they’re more desperate to finish it.

I think the Bills could be the first 6-11 division champion without Allen

@ChronicAndKnuckles I hear you. I do think McBeane is on the right track now. Having capable and smart secondary and linebackers helps, as well as the cliche of "it takes everyone." It does work against most QBs and offenses. But history has shown that against the very best - Brady and Mahomes types, brute force might be the most effective way. Like you said, Brady's two superbowl losses to the Giants, Mahomes' two superbowl losses to Bucs and Eagles have a common theme: the D-line dominated the O-Line. Overall, I think the Bills D-Line is at least a year away. Currently we have starters Bosa, Oliver, Jones, Rousseau, with backups Epenesa, Sanders, ogunjobi, Jackson, and third string Solomon, Carter, Walker, Hoecht. probably better depth overall than they have ever been. BUT we need probably 2 legit stars to dominate which free up others to make plays consistently. I'm not counting on Oliver, Jones, and Rousseau to be a true star (win majority one-on-one against capable O-Lineman). Hope Rousseau to take another step but history says once a player is paid, don't expect an immediate breakout season. Bosa is at least capable (done before) and motivated, but no one knows injury factor. The hope is on 1st and 2nd year guys and we do have a lot of them (5 to be exact).

Yeah I wasn't looking at 2nd team and I lumped pro bowl and all pro together for this purpose, but you come to the same point - it's not a defense built on athletic "freakazoids", it's a defense built on "Do Your Job". I agree with you about pro bowls, but they are a form of league-wide recognition, enough so that contract incentives are based off them, and yes, Tremaine made 2. And yes, Tre White was the closest thing we had to that athletically superior freakazoid and it hurt to lose him, and hurt more that Elam never developed into a player let alone a replacement. Everyone has draft "oops!" but that one hurt. I don't think we should overlook the impact on Bernard of 1) playing next to Dorian Williams for 11 weeks. He was kind of minding 2 gaps - his own, and the one Williams might, or might not, be minding. 2) He also was dealing with injuries - got back on the field after a torn pec in a week. That's unheard of, but it has to have been affecting him beyond his first game back. He also gave 1 whole game to an ankle injury. (I'm sure you don't want to hear it, but he also got married mid season. Even if he's doing 0 planning, the groom does need to be involved). Really the question with Bernard - he's got that smaller frame, no doubt he's tough as nails but he has to be going at 95% to make plays bigger dudes can make going at 80% so will he be durable longer-term? I think the thing the Bills really like Bernard is his on-field generalship. Part of it, of course, is who Edmunds was playing with. When you're a rookie playing with Zo Alexander, Matt Milano, Tre White, Dr Poyer, and Mr Hyde, there's not too much need for field generalship and in fact, it might not go over well. But when backups are playing, and as the roster churned, there was a need, and it took several years for Edmunds to develop that part of his game. I thought it was notable that there were vignettes in "mic'd up" of McDermott sending coaching messages on field through Micah Hyde at critical points in critical games. I thought it showed some in 2022 with Rousseau and when we lost Hyde and had Benford and Elam playing across from Dane Jackson. Bernard, from what I've seen, is more like a little Honey Badger. He don't care who you are or how many years you've played, he just cares where you are and what you're doing on the field and if it's not the right thing you'll hear about it - on the field, on the sidelines, and if need be afterward. Hopefully the baby will be getting more sleep by September and as long as he stays healthy, I'm confident he'll be fine.

He has radical views on immigrants. Open borders. That’s all I see there. Sorry. "He didn't like Jim Walz [sic]. He didn't like Jim Biden [sic]." "Well, I didn't like this, that Tim Walz did this, I didn't like he did that." "I can't believe a political issue would cause him to do such a thing." This roommate is completely unreliable, given that Boelter targeted two Democratic lawmakers in SEPARATE attacks who had sided with Republicans to strip illegal aliens of healthcare funding. What did Tim Walz do lately? He signed a bill to strip illegal aliens of healthcare funding. Boelter is listed on the site of the Minnesota African Union, which explicitly supports African immigrants. This isn't politically motivated? But he is a "Trump supporter." And "he wasn't a Democrat." And he listens to "Infowars." MAGA!

Why would such an evil communist leftist agency like USAID fund the above speech? You’re in the denial stage of grief. You’ll move on shortly.

See, yup. MAGA is a murder movement Pure and simple

Prove it was “MAGA.” Which should be easy since there is a manifesto and a car filled with no kings fliers. And a wife that interned for Walz. As did he - you get appointed to the positions he was because totally on merit - not your connections. As he should. The Democrat party is a terrorist organization flaunting the law and calling for more violence and “resistance” to the law. We need to go full EU.

No, Trump is running around and demonizing Democrats in very vicious language now, even after these political assassinations. Ya, your party is so peaceful, keep making excuses for the assassins

McConkey and Worthy were thought of to be more refined receivers. The consensus was that Coleman would need to work on his route running in the NFL and was more raw than those players. Yet Coleman who only played 13 games isn’t that far off from the numbers that Worthy put up. In fact, his yardage was almost the same despite playing 4 less games. So that and the fact that even as an undeveloped WR he put up an average stat line as a rookie I think is optimistic. The question is, how much better will he become?

Thats adorable coming from the cartoonist who famously got his strip pulled for saying we can’t live around Black people anymore for safety reasons

Chiefs have a better HC who has a great offensive mind, a better defense, and a better DC. This is not to say Mahomes isn't important to the Chiefs. Obviously, he is but he gets more help than Allen does.

Your response is insane. And your views are based on rumors and non-facts. Take some advice and wait to hear the story from the people working it rather than media clowns that would rather advance some dogma than provide news.

Prove it was USAID. Since when did USAID fund bizarre right wing evangelical nonprofits?

Saw that. In my assessment markets are completely mis-pricing risk. The traditional pattern of behavior is panic for a day or two then assume a return to normal. That's why buy the dip has been so profitable. Israel has vowed the Iranian nuclear program must be eliminated. But what they can't do is effectively attack and destroy underground facilities. They lack the heavy bomber aircraft to deliver the bunker buster bombs necessary. They've been attempting to convince the US to launch such attacks. So far the administration has said "no".

Because everything about that performance screamed MAGA Waltz flat out told your people to get meaner and angrier. You are insane.

And Trump pouring gasoline on the fire while the bodies are still warm. People like you encourage these killers. Blowing it off, making excuses, paving the way for others to do the same

Please don’t think. Just go by his USAID performance in the Congo as proof he’s MAGA.

I didn’t read all the responses, but the answer for me is, no. Keon was drafted very high in a DEEP draft for WRs. I was very surprised that he was apparently who they targeted when there were lots of concerns about his skill set as a prospect. To compound the issue, Beane didn’t double dip in a deep class like he probably should have. That’s why I also think the criticisms from the media and fans about WR and Beane are warranted. It was a head scratching selection to begin with and then not to try to hedge your bet with another receiver made zero sense. With all of that…I HOPE Keon puts it together and Beane was right. That’s what we should all want, but I certainly have my doubts.
