So, if it’s NOT a torn ACL, what are the possibilities here. Anyone know? Any time I hear non contact leg it seems to practically guarantee ACL or Achilles I remember Reggie Ragland years ago tearing both ACLs and was able to walk off the field immediately after. So the fact Hairston “walked off” doesn’t do a whole lot for me.

Anytime he refers to something he's learned from David Gettleman my optimism about the future of this team lessens.

no. what's disingenuous is when people try to equate trading a first round pick for a player and drafting a player w a first round pick. cap issues aside (not insignificant), the diggs trade is a perfect example of what im talking about- using your most valuable draft asset in a given year on a good-not-great up and coming wideout instead of taking a chance on drafting a rookie...it's the safe play instead of taking a swing. those two strategies aren't equivalent

More please!!!

This is the point for me. The resource allocation (at least in the draft) is scarily reminiscent of the Cam era Panthers.

It isn’t. But you have to admit that the Bills have definitely NOT ignored offensive weapons in the Draft. Sure. We’d love to have more. Every team would. But it’s not been ignored.

It took the Marxists nearly 100 years to get to where they are now in this country. Fully infesting every institution and branch of government from local to federal. How did they do it? They embraced the fight each and every day through the years. They're not going away in one orange term or with 10 more anti communist Presidents. This scourge upon our country will NEVER relent and the fight will continue long after each and every one of us on this insignificant corner of a Bills message board are long gone into the great beyond. Embrace the fight as they did and will continue doing. Celebrate the wins against evil and don't let the Ls discourage you.

Yep - the CB's were huddled around Max, some tears and clear frustration from max himself. You know when you know. Towel over his face for a bit then they helped him up. I'm betting that this is either season ending or long-term Either way, this sucks!

Thought so. I know this isn't what you're doing but I do find it a little disingenuous when people make the argument he's completely neglected WR they leave that trade out and just cite the number of picks at that position rather than the draft capital used to address that position. He gave up a 3rd for Kelvin Benjamin too which worked out swimmingly. My take is that Beane was more worried about WR's in Josh's development than he was once he became elite. Since then he's basically approached the entire roster construction like how Carolina built their team in 2015.

Wait, what happened to Ty Johnson?

I think it comes down to the lack of elite talent in those big moments aside, obviously, from Joshua Patrick Allen.

Look I don't want to derail this into a coaching thing but what is the point of having a HC w defense background and spending all your top picks on defense WHILE refusing to hire top offensive staff? How is that smart resource allocation?

Awesome! Thank you! That's fine as long as I don't have to actually hear it.

Yep. And when you put it alongside Trent Murphy, Star, Addison, Jefferson, J Phillips, Butler, Daquan, Settle, Floyd, Bosa, Hoecht, Ogunjobi.... all getting good to very good FA deals... most of which at a time when FA dollars have been tight. Brandon Beane says he will never apologise for prioritising the defensive line. It was also the MO of the Panthers while he worked there. My contention is he should re-consider his strategy.

The Bills are no longer in a drought. They’ve been the AFC Championship twice! They must be doing something right. It’s just unfortunate that they ended up in the same conference with a team that’s been to the championship game SEVEN years in a row. Nobody is a bigger critic of the McD era than me. But I don’t see anything having changed if they had another WR on the team. It still just comes down to players and coaches making the critical decisions/plays at crunch time.

Cmon Max - we need you buddy! Having Tre anywhere near the field is gonna be disastrous.

Any injury updates? I’m more concerned with Ty Johnson than Hairston tbh..

This thread is likely to get real ugly. Real quick.

Josh Allen is just a class act

i mean leaguewide that's got to be the most lopsided ratio or close to lol this is so drought mentality why not grab a superstar and let other teams worry about guarding him?

Creating a story? No…I’m simply stating the fact that the Bills starting offensive weapons roster is in reality made up of players they drafted in high rounds, and many they’ve chosen to already or about to extend this coming year. Coleman was essentially a First. Kincaid was a First. Cook was yet another high pick. So was Knox…a Third if I recall. Shakir is/was the lone pleasant surprise. So I guess the squabble is over whether they should’ve taken a WR in the First this year? Okay…I guess. But Who’s going to play cornerback and guard the superstars on the OTHER teams?

NEVER FORGET the Branch Covidians did this. Aka creepy white liptards

Fair. I’m talking about the people financing the stadium though. It’s an interesting experience for sure. I’d imagine most people are willing to do it once or twice a year. The 8+ hours a day for 10+ times a year, in freezing OP, is the crowd I’m asking. “Who, that will be in the elements 10 times a year, prefers that to inside?” I can think of 10 or so games over the last 5 years where the weather was so bad, I wouldn’t walk to the curb to throw my garbage but stood/sat out there for 8+ hours for a Bills game.

Good lord.
