If you called the Jags right now and offered them that package for BTJ, they would laugh and hang up.

Typically, I’d agree. But not in this case. He’s had many warnings of likely lifelong harm from concussions. Too many times to not accept what he’s doing to himself. This is on him.

So adding Samuel, Palmer and Elijah Moore isn't similar? Maybe our guys signed not as "good" in terms of individual stats yet our offense has seemingly performed better on average than the Chiefs the last few years.

Bills 42 Phins 17 Josh makes up for no TD'S last game and throws for 2, rushes for 2. No Punt Game on the horizon.😁

Go bills!!

????? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_LVII https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_LVIII When a quarter of your list are guys signed 6 years ago who have been retired, I have to wonder. Did you include the “fact” that Keon Coleman was almost basically a first round pick despite being picked 33?

I think teams aren’t good at evaluating WRs and maybe it is hard to do but I also think if you watch enough college ball you can have a really good idea of who is good based on how they play versus the best competition, what flaws they display and how much they win there reps. I thought it was a joke when Kadarius Toney was a 1st round pick. Although his final season at Florida was much better than his other seasons he was still baffling in some of his decision making once he had the ball in his hands, wasn’t all that sure handed and was not a good route runner. Sure had speed and could be elusive, but those other negatives were there for everyone to see and they didn’t go away as a pro. He also had some character issues to boot. (FWIW Elam had equally concerning flaws with tackling and losing receivers on their cuts). My point is that scouting is not an exact science and sometimes the amount of due diligence isn’t as high as everyone perceives it. There is hubris that some talent can be developed to correct issues but generally that is a poor strategy. I will still hold that for the most part great talents in the NFL usually show themselves pretty early and the guys that take time to emerge as great players are more of an exception than rule. You could tell Shakir was a good player his first year, even though the Bills were reluctant to give him more snaps. You could tell Josh had something unique his rookie year when he QB’d the upset over the Vikings.

If you point out the lack of chiefs wrs people say yeah but kelce. Interesting how we now ignore the first round investment in a receiving te. I have never seen a deep dive analysis on drafting. Instead it’s the list of misses and that is why beane sucks. There is not one GM who does it miss with high picks. If there is show us who that is.

Antifas not real because it would cause the narrative I've made up to completely crumble. -Roundy

Bosa has been a pleasant surprise in that he seems to love placing his hand in the dirt. I’m just hopeful he can make it successfully through the bye. Once Hoecht comes back, they can share the load. I’m a manner of speaking, having Ogunjobi out allows the rookies needed experience. Our opponents are pretty weak through the bye. Maybe Atlanta could be a trap game, but we should walk through Miami, NO, NE, and even the Panthers the week after the bye. Unfortunately, the schedule gets much tougher starting with the Chiefs. So on the topic, Bosa has enough games where he can be. Load managed with Landon Jackson. TJ Sanders, and Deon Walker can get a lot of playing time these next weeks. Hopefully when we get to the tougher part of the schedule, they are humming as a unit. I do like how we are rushing a lot more, and using 12 and 13 personnel, as the heavier sets match well with several athletic, but smaller defenses.

At the time, this is what I was hoping/thought the Bills would do---trade up for Brian Thomas, Jr. Of course, we don't know that they didn't at least inquire about it...maybe no one would trade or maybe the price was too high, who knows. But that's what I was hoping for too. And by no means is the following an exact science, but I tried to see what might have been if we did go that route. If we moved up from 28 to 23 to take Thomas Jr., according to the draft chart, we would need 100 points. In order to do that without using future draft picks, we would have had to give JAX our first 4th rounder and our second and third 5th round picks (the Bills had two 4th round picks and three 5th round picks at the start of the draft). No one can say exactly how it would have played out, but the two drafts might have looked like this (if the Bills still picked the same players when in the same range): Round Pick 1 23 Brian Thomas, Jr. 2 60 Cole Bishop 4 133 CB Jaden Hicks (this is who KC ended up drafting at pick 133 of the 4th round---not sure who the Bills would have taken, maybe Davis if available) 5 141 Sedrick Van Pran-Granger 6 204 Tylan Grable 6 219 Daequan Hardy 7 248 OG C.J. Hanson (this is who KC ended up drafting with pick 248 of the 7th round) Bills draft as it was: Round Pick 2 32 Keon Coleman 2 60 Cole Bishop 3 95 DeWayne Carter 4 128 Ray Davis 5 141 Sedrick Van Pran-Granger 5 160 Edefuan Ulofoshio 5 168 Javon Solomon 6 204 Tylan Grable 6 219 Daequan Hardy 7 221 Travis Clayton So, basically we lose Keon, Carter, Davis, Ulofoshio, Solomon, and Clayton; but we would have Thomas, Jr. and pick 133 in the 4th round and pick 248 in the 7th round (9th last pick in the draft). I know it wouldn't play out exactly that way, the Bills may have chosen other players/positions in the 4th to 7th rounds in the top draft based on the players/positions they weren't able to draft---for instance maybe they go DT or RB in the 4th instead of KC taking a CB, maybe they can still grab Davis there. But, just trying to get a general idea if it would have been worth it to trade up. As far as Thomas, Jr. and Coleman: Obviously Brian had a BIG rookie year, but he also had a ton of targets. He also played four more games than Keon and didn't have the strange end of a rookie season like Keon did. But to this point in their careers, here are a few numbers to look at: Thomas, Jr.: 70.6 yards per game; 0.526 TDs per game; 8.83 yards per target; 0.066 TDs per target. (152 total targets to date) K. Coleman: 46.3 yards per game; 0.333 TDs per game; 9.77 yards per target; 0.070 TDs per target. (71 total targets to date) [Not to cherry pick stats: Thomas, Jr. currently has 1,342 yards and 10 TDs; Coleman has 694 yards and 5 TDs.] I know pro-rating stats is a bit of a fool's errand because Keon didn't get as many targets as Thomas for a number of reasons. But, if you did pro-rate Keon's rookie year stats out to the same number of targets that Thomas, Jr. had, Keon would have been at 1,288 yards and 11.58 TDs. And Keon is not only looking good so far this year, he's also getting more targets than his rookie year. Last year he averaged 4.48 targets per game, in the first two games this year, he is averaging 7 targets per game. And I know you can't draw conclusions from just two games, and obviously Keon has the better QB/offense, but so far this year: Coleman: 14 targets, 11 receptions, 138 rec yards, 9 rush yards, 1 TD Thomas: 19 targets, 5 receptions, 60 rec yards, 48 rush yards, 0 TD Again, I'm not saying Keon is better than Thomas, Jr., but if he at least keeps pace with him or stays in somewhat of his range, then with the extra assets we got on top of that, maybe Beane played it right. I don't know, what do you guys think? Is Thomas just that much better than Keon that the other assets don't equate? It's basically Keon, Carter, Davis, Ulofoshio, and Solomon vs. Brian Thomas, Jr. and a late 4th round pick.

It’s a lie to call Kirk a “free speech advocate” when the MAGA government is spending all their time shutting down free expression and insufficient mourning. You’ll ONLY find this behavior in China, Russia, and authoritarian nations.

Im evaluating some business opportunities. We’ll see. My wife misses the four seasons. I’ll admit it’s an outside chance. I do y want to bore you guys with details.

MAGA proves over and over again that their calls for free speech was all a lie. On our “list” is chilling and again proves that MAGA calls for “free speech” is all a lie. MAGA Congress pressures BkueSky to shut down criticism of Charlie Kirk. MAGA campaign for “free speech” was all a lie.

Ordinarily I would not hesitate to describe Kimmel as an arsehole of epic proportions. However, upon reconsideration, I see no justification in denigrating a part of the human anatomy which, through no fault of its own, is tasked with having to deal with copious amounts of crap whilst having zero say in the matter. His show being cut is a small piece of good news in a bad week.

There is ZERO evidence that the Democrats or the White House pressured ABC to fire Rosanne Barr. It was the fact that her own co-stars said they didn't want to work with her. Y’all keep pretending that the situations are the same AND that when they are in power free speech will reign. Well, that was a total lie.

Great post. In terms of the person it's directed towards you might want to take this part of his posting history into account.

Allen is a big part of it. But this is a team stat. It is as much a McDermott stat as it is an Allen stat. You don’t accomplish this if it is not being driven home from the staff. It is exceptionally hard to do.

I don’t like how this matter has gone down with the involvement of the FCC. Doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy the karma involved. Imagine a grown man crying over an election (Chigoose - I know how you struggled but I’m not referring to you at the moment). This poor “comedian”! All my best, big guy!!

You can also find the King defending the former Twitter for removing posts and banning accounts at the behest of the US government as merely the government assisting a private company with "content moderation."

When I saw the headline of this thread, I thought "What, another Terrel Owens thread?"

Do you remember when you held the position that Twitter shutting down the New York Post over the Hunter laptop story was not really censorship because people were hearing about the story anyway? If not, I’ll be happy to dig it up. It was nearly as absurd as your human trafficking routine.
