Coleman is exactly who he was in college if you watch his tape. A couple highlight catches, a lot of jump balls he doesn't come down with, and zero separation. And that was against college guys that are working at Starbucks now. I don't think there is a leap to be had. He will make a few plays to remind you he's on the team but be otherwise invisible most games with the defense draped all over him And Worthy might go for 1000 yards but we don't want a guy like that. Meanwhile Beane signs Elijah Moore who is a slower and worse version of Worthy lol.

And all those clapping Beane on the back will be crying in their beer if Coleman doesn't make a leap, because it's hard to see where else the receiving room is going to offer significant improvement.

It will be at least 10. We carry at least 5 at each position. At times we've carried 6 at both. Ending the season last year, we had 5 DE's (Groot, Miller, Epenesa, Smoot, and Solomon) and 6 DT's (Oliver, Jones, Johnson, Carter, Jefferson, and Phillips). It's pretty clear that everyone can easily stick for now - as we're at 5 DE's (Groot, Bosa, Epenesa, Jackson, and Solomon) and 5 DT's (Oliver, Jones, Sanders, Walker, and Carter). Worry about finding room for Hoecht and Epenesa when Week 7 comes around. You could easily have injuries in the first 6 weeks that could make that decision simple. Even though I'd much rather prefer difficult decisions to be made. Either way, it's nothing that they should be worrying about at the moment.

Yes they and the Broncos are better than the Texans. Texans have the worst or 2nd worst division in football.

We can beat any of them. I think Baltimore, KC, and LA Chargers could all beat Bills in the playoffs. Baltimore and Chargers can run on our defense. Not sure Chargers have enough in the passing game with their current WRs. Of those three I am least worried about KC. Kelce is a corpse out there now. KC o-line is worse. Jones is still dominant but he is getting older too - he will be 31 this season. I understand the fear of Cincinnati but I think they have a bottom 5 defense again and probably will not even make the playoffs.

Ravens have the best roster, Chiefs the best coach, and Bengals the best O. I think Ravens end of with the 1 seed. Texans have a solid D. But confused with OL moves in trading arguably their best OT. Guessing he was a cancer. But I see OL regression and Stroud has hit his ceiling. They don’t concern me as much as the other 3.

Depth isn't a problem. We have four good second-teamers: Rapp, Hamlin, Forrest, Bishop.

We actually have a family of Cooper’s hawks that moved into the neighborhood a couple years ago. Got a couple of awesome photos of one in my backyard, too. Hasn’t done a damn thing for the squirrels, though. Not a bad idea about the speaker…

Nothing on point here. Your initial argument (cut and pasted from an old CATO article) suggesting that the U.S. economy in the 1920s continued to grow despite (not because of) a tariff increase; therefore, the current tariff increase poses no problem. Which ignores the fact that it is 100 years later, with a far more interconnected world economy, and that Trump's proposed increase, when it goes fully into effect in something like 70 days, will be approximately 25 times greater than that 1922 increase. As the WSJ editorial said, Trump seems to believe that if a little bit of something is good, a lot of that something must be a whole lot better. A lot of MAGA types are so seduced by his shoot from the hip nonsense that they can no longer even comprehend how outrageous his proposals are. Not just twice as large as the largest prior tariff increase, but 25 times larger.

Your assumption is correct.

The 53-man roster allotment will ultimately be at least 10, won't it? Has that been emphasized already? It's been 10 recently even without such a targeted effort to add to the groups. Gotta imagine it's at least 9 to start the season, with the knowledge that 2 more will be joining week 7. Maybe the first 6 weeks the Bills carry an extra WR or DB or OL instead of a 10th DL. Either way, they get to keep a couple dudes who might not otherwise survive cutdown day and would have been candidates for poaching. By week 7, injuries and other developments could provide longer term standing for the DL and other guy on the roster who the suspended guys would otherwise replace. Sneaky advantage to suspensions LOL: baked in 7 week roster buffer waivers for 2 guys on the bubble.

What are they waiting on to announce this?

This is all a bit weird. Singing the beautiful Amazing Grace over Trump as he is impatiently waiting for it to be over. All this for a dope who wouldn’t put his hand on the Bible at his inauguration. I wonder what he is thinking as they are all singing around him.

Get yourself one of these: In all seriousness, you could get yourself one of those little bluetooth speakers, put it in the tree, and have it play hawk sounds every few minutes......squirrels are instinctively afraid of birds of prey(for obvious reasons).

And? Is it our fault the EU for example puts what - a 20 percent VAT on all our good sold there - they can argue all they want that it’s a tax that’s applied to their domestic goods equally. But those aren’t the free trade rules we play by. Why are they collecting the same percentage on US produced goods - the VAT is designed to help their own domestic producers due to the rebates they get along the supply chain. Our imported goods - hit their consumers directly with their 20 percent VAT. Our sales tax by state is on average 3-5 percent? Now you’ve been doing a lot of math today. How much of a percentage increase is that on our finished good in the EU vs their finished goods in America? And that’s why Team Trump used that “insane” formula they did. I get it. And we all have to remember - there is no rule that can apply with what they’re doing because it’s 2025 and the global economy is not the same as 1935. This is all theory. I don’t think it’s a magic fix. I don’t think it’s going to lead to the ridiculous price increases the “experts” claim they will lead to either. The costs we would like to increase are American real wages.

I think Kincaid and Moore suffer from somewhat of the same problem. When you watch them move on the field they both LOOK like NFL players whose pure athleticism and talent should make them super productive, which is why they both got drafted high. But NFL bust history is littered with great athletes who could never adjust to the speed of the NFL. I think that's the hardest thing to project from college to the pros and you just won't know if a player has what it takes until they get there. Kincaid's terrible catch percentage this past season despite a low ADOT, while his counterpart in Knox was higher in both categories, is an indication that he wasn't ending up exactly where his QB expected him to be on targets. And Knox isn't exactly a cerebral player but he has developed more of a feel for the NFL game than Kincaid has as of yet. By the end of the season Brady had reverted Kincaid back to his rookie year usage of basic short routes and was only feeding Knox the downfield throws, so Brady was seeing the same things. Hopefully the light clicks for Kincaid this year, he would be far from the first player to have the game slow down for him in his 3rd year. Having watched a fair amount of Moore's 2024 snaps over the past couple days, I see similar flaws in his game. He drifts on routes, he doesn't make himself an available target in zones, he gives away leverage to DBs which creates INT opportunities. He's a good but not elite route runner and he plays small with no catch radius to speak of. I know the common narrative with Bills fans and media right now is that Moore only underproduced because of Cleveland's QB situation, but NFL front offices are smarter than that. 25 year old WRs with great film that demonstrate a lot of untapped potential aren't available after the draft for $3.5M... The NFL is telling you who he is as a player. And unlike Kincaid we're entering year 5, not year 3, so it's much more likely Moore just is who he is at this point.

That analogy is super effective, ya jerk

As my father would say, fix your back by fixing your front. (He was referring to stomach area)

Heart felt lyrics, the kind of song Keith Urban might write. thanks for sharing

@TheWeatherMan your nausea (hope you feel better) is a reaction to the Bills top-3 roster options at safety, yes? Rather than my deft analysis of how that top-3 depth chart should shake out, of course. I actually think Rapp is at least an average starting S in the NFL, who brings some physicality and flash. Problem there is he just absolutely obliterates himself and his teammates too often by dropping his helmet and becoming ordinance. Someone on the team will miss games because of Taylor Rapp. Forrest is kind of intriguing on a McDermott defense. Was on an early trajectory in DC, but injuries plus a coaching change caused regression there in years 3 & 4. Tested like a beast coming out, though: 9.69 RAS. And flashed early on in the league. Availability will be the thing with him. And Bishop...well, I don't know. He could progress the same way we hope Kincaid will. Sucks that both Utah guys are facing steep curves. Would be great if Bishop somehow leaps past Rapp, because I think Rapp is an okay starter (while it lasts and until he lights up a teammate). Bishop was WAY behind Rapp last year. He was way behind Hamlin if we're being honest. Forrest could be a dude, though. Hancock I think is more likely a subpackage guy or flexible replacement like Lewis, rather than a threat to start. Happy to be wrong there.

Going to be a tough question to answer because our defense has basically been completely overhauled. It's going to be completely different than it has been the last few seasons. The defensive line alone, even with a Oliver and Groot returning to starting roles is going to look completely different with the depth we now have, especially after week 6 when the suspensions are lifted. Our secondary is going to look completely different than it has, especially if Hairston and Bishop win starting jobs. With the young talent influx we are going to have, I think we will actually see a change in overall philosophy as well. I don't think we are going to see our soft zone that we have played almost exclusively the last several years. I think with the signings they have made, they are going to try and force the issue a little bit. Bosa is obviously a huge X factor in all of this. If he's healthy the entire season and is the dominant player he has been in the past, this defense is going to look a lot different. I think their goal is to rush the passer with big, fast, athletic guys that will run probably 8-9 deep on this roster and force the QB to get rid of the ball quickly against corners that can now play both man and zone. And, especially if Hairston is that dude like we all hope, and Bishop takes a giant step forward, our team speed on defense is going to really show. So, until we see how it looks on the field, I am not sure I am ready to say who the toughest matchup might be because I do expect our defense to play a lot differently this season. And, as long as 17 is healthy and running the offense, I do expect them to be able to score enough to win most weeks. So yeah......going to wait and see what this is all going to look like before I start trying to figure out how we match up against teams.

Baltimore and it isn’t close. Personally I think they’re the AFC favorite and I blame the Packers for passing on Starks.

What nonsense. Even if we did only go from an average weighted tariff of 1.5% to 10%, you do get that that's a 6.5X increase? 650 percent increase? Nothing has ever been close. Not even 1832 (boy you went digging, I gotta give that to you!) And of course we only have (ostensibly) a 90 day pause on the big ones. Mr. 90 day/180 day/270 day/oh, let's forget I ever said something that stupid with my confusing chart in hand and move on with things.

I think the chargers are on the rise
