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.

"Was mostly concerned" (about Melania) would be far greater than 55%. Probably closer to 90%. So that's reasonable doubt right there.

Cam Newton was 25th in the league in passing attempts because he is severely limited as a passer. Josh Allen will never be in the bottom 3rd in passing attempts because he isn't a severely limited passer. We are still going to throw the ball a ton and will be league leaders again. This will be the first year under Brady's offense with his playbook, his vision, his adjustments etc.... He can't make significant and drastic changes to an offense mid year. We couldn't score before Brady took over. After the Dolphins game, the next 6 games we averaged 20 ppg....

That’s not really production though. I think there’s a good chance that dollar for dollar Keon Coleman does more for less money than Diggs did in 2023 but that’s really easy. If he has a $2M cap hit, that means he’d have to hit like 171 yards on the season to outproduce Diggs from a yards/dollars ratio. If he hits 200 yards, I certainly won’t say he’s wildly out producing Diggs lol. If Coleman has a more productive 2024 than Diggs did in 2023 I would be wildly surprised and it would be awesome. If he has an 800 yard season, I don’t think I’m gonna say he outproduced Diggs 400%.

He was absolutely terrible in the Jax game in London - repeatedly spun around like a helpless top by Calvin Ridley in what was one of the worst single-game performances of a Bills CB I have ever seen. So it’s reasonable that the coaches had little faith in him. That said, he IS physically talented, and he seems bright enough. I am hoping for an Eric Moulds situation, where the light finally switches on in year three. But he has been a liability so far. Saying otherwise is whistling past the graveyard.

My hope is they passed on the lesser options to wait for this June 1st opportunity and go big! I think it has been their strategy for some time to have an inexpensive RB room so they can pay their top WR. They are just switching who the top WR is for the next few years.

well disguised troll thread of the year?

He could easily still cut bait on Claypool, Hollins, MVS, Hamler and others, just like he should have on Sheffield and Harty and gotten someone who could make a real difference. But you're right, he won't.

I read quotes from the defense summation...questioned the existence of an "affair" with Daniels. Attacked her and of course, Cohen. Seemed weak, implausible and ineffective but just from snippets.

I mean I'm counting finances as well..

What kind of fact-free, unsupported response was that? Here is what you literally said that I responded to: "Last year was by far the best talent around Allen since being a Bill." That 2020 group was arguably the #1 WR corps in the NFL. Diggs was the best outside WR in the NFL that season.........he lead the NFL in catches and yards. Beasley was the best slot receiver in the NFL that season. I know you expect greatness from Kincaid and Shakir...........but they weren't great last year...........and like I said, people thought Davis and Knox were going to be great when given more opportunity. You gotta' judge player's by what they've done.

I don't think having less yards, TD's or first downs is outproducing, personally.

1974 offense? I don't think QB's were running all that much. I think the vision for the 2024 Bills is the 2020 Pats lmao. The run Cam run offense where the leading receiver is Jakobi Meyers with 700 yards.
