  1. Past hour
  2. No disrespect, but you just did what everyone else does...you provided no answer to who was the heir apparent we passed on to Diggs? 🙄
  3. It's actually, in part, more realistic than what I'm used to seeing from you throughout the years. Though 3 moves aren't happening. Palmer will be down for a number of weeks, but he hasn't been placed on IR. He'll be back at some point and we aren't going to carry 7 WR's. Olave is the only big fish with any sort of possibility. And our best bet if we can't get him is Shaheed. Basically, I'd be all in on making a deal with the Saints. Outside of that, you're looking at maybe a Jeudy or Meyers. Maybe. Lockett... idk. He's 32, works mainly out of the Slot these days, the Seahawks cut him, and then the Titans felt he wasn't a starter. He's not Tyler Lockett anymore. If they thought he still has something and could help, I wouldn't be opposed. But I don't think he's any different than a number of guys we have now at this stage in his career and don't think he'd help much. But I'm with you on trying hard to get Olave. If we can't pry him away from them, then pivot to Shaheed. And then hopefully Davis is ready soon. Have them replace Moore and Shavers on the 53 and hope that opens things up for us.
  4. I stated it was inappropriate, which is what it is, it is not a big deal. Your acting like it is a big deal while you never spoke out against those who cheered the murder of Charlie Kirk makes you a moron. In fact you said Charlie said "things that ramped up the crazies" which I would be very interested in what he said that you characterize that way?
  5. Anything by Tchaikovsky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbxgYlcNxE8 Gustav Holst - The Planets
  6. With their recent DB drafting history I'll be excited when it's time to be excited.
  7. Also, can we please get passes to Shakir that are neither behind the LOS or within 5 yards. We all know he's a YAC monster but we have seen him go down the field in past seasons. He's capable. We stereotype every receiver we have as fitting into specific boxes and we never seem to veer off that plan. Let's think outside the box a little!!
  8. Based on the value chart and what JAX received for 17 from MIN. The Bills in theory could have gotten #17 for 1. #28 and #60 2. #28, #128 and 2022 3rd rd pick; Maybe a 4th as well.
  9. Curious to see if Josh finished up his career with Diggs as the best wr he had to work with by a long shot Its looking likely with all the holes they will be patching up on defense and where the Bills tend to draft
  10. Will Alex Lyon continue his solid goaltending play we have seen so far this season? ChatGPT said: Short Answer Yes — there are strong indications that Alex Lyon can continue playing solidly this season, but with some caveats. His performance to‑date is encouraging, yet sustaining it will depend on context and consistency. What the numbers say Here are some key pieces of data: This season, Lyon is posting a 2.44 GAA and .929 save percentage, which are very good marks. In his most recent shutout (3‑0 win vs. the Florida Panthers on October 18), he stopped all 32 shots. Last season (2024–25) with the Detroit Red Wings he recorded a 2.81 GAA and .896 save percentage over 30 games. He has spoken about his desire for greater consistency and improvement in his game. Some forecasting (via RotoWire) sees him in a “20‑30 game starter” role with modest results, citing variance and competition for number‑one duty. Bottom line from the numbers: He’s performing at a higher level than his recent baseline, which is a positive sign. But the leap forward may or may not be fully sustained. Why continuation is plausible Here are reasons to believe he can keep up the good play: Improved metrics — His current save percentage of ~.929 is elite for the early part of a season and suggests he’s locked in. Motivation and mindset — Lyon has explicitly stated he wants more consistency and to improve, rather than rest on past efforts. Opportunity — At Buffalo Sabres, his contract and role give him a legitimate chance for a meaningful workload (a two‑year deal agreed in July 2025). Recent peak performance — The shutout and strong starts indicate he has the capacity for high‑level outings. Risks & reasons it might not last Yet there are several factors that could prevent this performance from being sustained: Small sample size / variance — Goal‑tending is inherently volatile; a few bad starts or high‑shot games can swing the metrics. Underlying team defense / workload — Lyon’s success will depend on the Sabres’ defensive support, shot quality against, and how many games he plays. Competition and role stability — The Sabres still have other goalies in the mix; if the team opts to rotate more or bring up other options, Lyon’s rhythm could be disrupted. Historical baseline — His .896 save percentage last season is significantly lower than this year’s pace; maintaining ~.929 over a full season is a tall order. Fatigue / injury risk — If he picks up a heavy workload, fatigue sets in. Also, earlier in his career he had some injury/usage questions. My verdict Given everything, here’s a reasoned prediction: I expect Lyon to remain a very good goaltender for the Sabres this season — likely a starter or at least major contributor. He may not sustain elite‑level metrics (e.g., a .930+ save percentage and sub‑2.30 GAA for a full season) every night, but a .915‑.925 save percentage and a GAA around 2.40‑2.70 seems quite plausible if things break well. If the Sabres improve defensively and give him strong backup support, he could flirt with above‑average netminding. On the flip side, if the team struggles, his numbers could regress toward his historical baseline (~.900 save percentage). In short: yes — solid play is likely to continue — but I’d avoid assuming he’ll replicate his best games every week.
  11. Palmer being 15th in yards per route run among all WRs was very surprising and eye opening. Playing him less than half the snaps is unacceptable. Then that would mean every contender is “fighting to stay alive”. Out of all the teams that were top 10 in preseason SB odds only the 4-1-1 Packers didn’t lose at least 2 of their first 6 games, and they might not even be the best team in their division.
  12. It kept me up all night. Tonight won’t be any better as I toss and turn wondering why Bernie Sanders won’t condemn the assh*le running for Senate in New Hampshire over the Nazi tattoo on his chest. I can’t catch a break.
  13. I can stomach the ticket price - but by the time they add all the subsidiary charges - FORGET ABOUT IT ! The last concert I considered was Billy Joel in Petco Park (San Diego) - cheap seats neared $300. The hotel with a view charged even more for a balcony
  14. Tampa lost Evans to injury. While the Bills overthink it and do nothing, watch the Bucs move in a day or two to add Ridley or Lockett to help Mayfield.
  15. Jack Poserbitch was utterly demolished - you’re so infected you can’t even see it.
  16. Correct. the Bills drafted a first round pick, paid a mid tier FA and signed a vet minimum backup to fill the CB2 position this offseason. They did nothing close to upgrade WR. It is what it is.
  17. I think Joe M. means the number of offensive snap counts vs productivity for Keon is lopsided. He is out there more than any other receiver...why???
  18. What’s absolutely wild about this is already the season is coming up to the halfway point, and the Chiefs and Ravens would not be in the playoffs if they started today. A couple weeks into the season that wouldn’t be a huge deal…but week 8? That’s a little concerning. The Steelers are there by default, only 1 team from the North gets in, probably the Steelers and they’ll get knocked out Wildcard Weekend. I don’t believe anyone there except the Bills are a true top 5 contender. Indy while they’ve been impressive beating up on lesser teams have a brutal schedule soon and will take a bunch of L’s. Basically all the Bills need to do is get a win back from NE and 1st will theirs.

  20. Ten thousand purchasers, generating $350 thousand, would get a 100 foot yacht from Naples to New Orleans and back. So I’m told …. a two to three day trip.
  21. Replace Rapp with Poyer? man things are bad. How about trade for a S and bench Rapp. Cole has the range and poor tackling ability that better fits a deep FS.
  22. I get where you’re coming from, and I actually agree with parts of what you’re saying, especially around context and the fact that there wasn’t an obvious, slam-dunk Diggs replacement sitting there at the Bills’ draft slots. But I think you’re still missing the broader point of what “passing on a replacement” really means. It’s not just about identifying one specific player they could have drafted or traded for but it’s about whether the organization prioritized that need enough to create the opportunity. Saying, “there was no one available at our picks” ignores that front offices routinely move up or structure cap space around a position they deem critical. The Bills clearly didn’t see WR1 as that level of priority. If Beane and McDermott had viewed replacing Diggs as a foundational need, they could have approached the offseason differently, whether that meant freeing up cap to pursue a higher-end veteran, packaging picks to move up for BTJ, or even structuring a trade before the draft. Instead, they made a conscious bet that their offense and Allen’s playmaking could sustain itself through scheme and depth rather than a true WR1. That’s a valid strategic choice, but it is a choice. So when people say “they passed on a replacement,” it’s not necessarily saying “they passed on Player X who was guaranteed to be better.” It’s saying “they chose not to make replacing Diggs a top-level investment priority.” That’s fair to debate. You’re absolutely right that there weren’t obvious perfect options, and that DK and Pickens came with baggage or cost issues. But you can still fairly question whether the Bills’ overall philosophy, essentially deciding WR1 wasn’t worth aggressively targeting, was the right call for a team trying to keep its Super Bowl window open. In short: You’re right there wasn’t a sure-thing replacement sitting there. But that’s partly because the Bills didn’t put themselves in position to get one. That’s the real debate, not who they literally passed on, but whether they should’ve prioritized finding a true WR1 more than they did.
  23. what are the Jets rebuilding? That starts with a QB--look wha the jets have done to that position the past 5 years--even the past 3 years. there's no evidence they are in a rebuilding mode. Cousins would be the best QB they could conjure up over the net 3 years...
  24. Beane and McDermott must firmly believe the problems are in execution not scheme/talent We'll see if the last two weeks were just bad sloppy games or the wheels falling off. Most bothersome is Josh hang dogging it on the sidelines
  25. Across the street from the drive-in (sometimes you even watched the movie!)
