The national guard can probably do a better job than cops, agree?

You guys whining about the weather in the fall are nuts! My birthday is in the second week of November and for as far back as I can remember over these 70 some years I've been around the weather has historically been pretty much nice during the first half of November. I've relocated some snow on Halloween more than once and then cooked out on the patio just a few days later! Other than a few unpredictable short-lived storms over the years the REAL crappy weather that's here to hang around for a while doesn't arrive until mid to late December.

Whose to blame more? Comon you can do it.

I could see that being the case, the first two rounds were pretty good while outside of Puca I am not seeing too many great finds in round 3-7. Still harder to tell on mid-late round guys after just two seasons. Odds are if you are drafted outside the top 3 rounds you need some development that could take 3-4 years before those players are ready to take on starting roles. Of course I am not always familiar with each draft pick esp once you get deeper into the draft so it is possible that in their first two seasons a lot of these players are maybe starting or playing smaller roles well just not putting up big numbers or accolades? I also assumed that because in 2023 the roster was littered with veterans and not many open spots for draft picks that the Bills pretty much only had 3 major needs going into the draft (2nd pass catcher, Guard, and LB depth) so with 6 picks it was going to be hard to roster all 6 picks and while you could maybe "IR and stash" one player as they did with Shorter that isn't easy to do with 3 players. So it was smart for them to trade down and pick up selections in 2024 when they probably were projecting a lot of turnover on the roster to try to get younger and in a better cap situation. A pair of extra late round picks in the following draft was a smart piece of business.

Thinking Ed Oliver is going to have an even better year, because of a look, is dumb. It truly doesn't matter. Looks don't sack QB’s.

Sure. We also can blame Hyundai for making garbage cars with no basic safety features lmao

Elam was obviously an unfortunate whiff, but they are trying to add new looks. I like what I’m seeing. You can frame it any way you’d like.

I think it has more to do with they don’t want Hamlin/Hancock/Lewis on the field as much in preseason and want another guy to pair with Forrest late in the preseason games in addition to Bishop and Rapp being limited in games and practice

Yeah, in response to your point that the police are “trained” with weapons or whatever and that’s all they need. That’s absolutely zero guarantee of effectiveness.

Go on then, blame the theives.......

I bet we see Hancock starting at safety by mid season. And I think hell keep the job for years

Appreciate you calling that out.

Injury history and can't tackle worth a damn. Both are Red Flags for McDermott

Oh I've called him stupid before but that's only because he is

You are putting words in my mouth.

Wow. Honestly thought Josh's numbers would be better here.

As a mainstream media (only the more reliable sources!) consumer, I can assure you that the DC National Guard and the Smithsonian "cleansing" are currently competing with the Putin suck-up as the lead stories.

https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/transactions-tre-herndon-bills-fill-safety-need-signing-former-jaguars-starter-releasing-tight-end My guess is the Bishop continued injury plague was the reason.

Did no one see we signed Tre Herndon

Probably wanted too much money and then the cap space dried up. Probably gonna sign on with a team when injuries hit and a team gets desperate for some help at CB. Right now there's not a lot of teams with cap space and the ones that have it presumably don't think he's a fit or not worth his asking price. It's also gonna help him stay healthy to come in around mid-October and hopefully get a chance to come in around mid-November and help a team in a stretch run and see if he can up his value in free agency next year.

It had a normal caliber and quantity of top level talent, but the consensus was that the talent bottomed out pretty quickly and had poorer than usual depth. Beane knew this which is why he traded a 2024 5th for a 2025 4th and why he kept trading down on day 3. That was not a class for teams drafting outside of the top 10 to find multiple franchise cornerstones. It was a year where you hoped to come away with a couple good starters.

Neck surgery in April.

It only needs to work for a season My favorite part of the episode was McDermott saying 'we're only focusing on 3 things right now' and proceeded to list 4 or 5

Good news keeps coming, Bishop doing something this year is really meaningful for us.
