Chicago produced a Pope before it produced a QB that can throw for more than 4,000 yards

Pretty good analysis, but the cap situation clearly prevented additional acquisitions. My hope is that we can find a way to retain Cook before he becomes even more expensive. He’s really good.

So Trump now taps into Fox entertainment for yet another key position. He just can’t get enough of Fox in his administration as he hires only the finest, most qualified people. This just shows that you can get just about any job in government working for Donald if you first get your training at Fox.

framed differently: if he was a lethal all pro still - I think almost no chance he’s gone now without the allegations but playing like he has been- I think he’s on the roster but legit fighting for his job in an open battle.

when were the latest workouts?

Someone has to make it cool again, that's all. I mean, there have been 8 others to wear 40 since JD Hill, including Von Miller most recently. 32 is much more interesting, though. Only a couple of worn that since OJ (Senorise Perry and Nicholas Morrow). They only started giving out that number in recent years.

We may have a skinny WR masquerading as a TE, but at least we don’t have a QB with tinyyyy hands! This is a real photo of Kenny Pickett (left) and Joe Flacco (right) both gripping the ball at Browns OTA’s.

I thought you and I had reached a point where we could discuss things collegiality. But I guess I was wrong. My very first sentence I said if Beane had traded for Metcalf or swung a deal for a guy like Jefferson, what did I say? Fine. I then just threw out a theoretical on how that might affect the offense as constructed by Brady, and you give me this. Let me know if you want to be collegial or not. If so, great. If not then let’s just ignore each other’s posts.

Yes

I'll take a 45 year old Chris Kelsay over AJ. What a silly extension.

last year was the proverbial first 5 games with Fitzpatrick in regard to getting a lot of luck. Not something we are used to. But as you note, it usually normalizes. even with a very good unit, odds are we lose about 10 in the differential. do we have the horses to still maintain the point differential?

I started this journey just asking for clarification on your post, given the commonly accepted meaning for a particular phrase. It wasn’t a gotcha post, but admittedly it seemed an odd story to me. My instincts were correct. Thanks for clarifying, and of course you’re entitled to your opinion. At this point, no, I don’t think I want to know the outcome and have no real feelings on whether you were there or not. I feel like I understand you now, and surely all that might follow is confusion.

Was Josh Allen at the latest Voluntary workouts?

Lol, we have people convinced that having better players is a bad thing. 🤣🤣 Josh throwing the ball to better players will yield better results. The passing numbers last year dropped quite a bit. Brady schemed guys open.

I don't hate all of the new stats but this one is remarkably bad. It was either last year or the year before Lindor was having a really bad start to the season and my son broke out some new age stat that was a measure of how hard he was hitting the ball with the premise being he was making solid contact even though his batting average was abysmal. He ended up going on a tear the rest of the year and I filed it under things that make you go hmmm. I also like WHIP for pitchers, but for the life of me I can't wrap my head around OPS. And one stat that feels totally made up is WAR.

He's got ties to Villanova. He is a Bills fan. I have it on good authority if you know what I mean

They practice with the team after 4 weeks.

This thread is just warming up. We got at least another 30 pages in us. Offseaon mode

I did want to use the Google, but I think six or seven. Next one might be seven. That’s a lot.

Again if Beane had done that, or swings some huge deal for say Jefferson, fine. But let me challenge your assumption a bit. Say you have Metcslf. Does Josh go back to feeling he has to feed him X number of balls a game? And does it alter Brady’s everybody eats approach that resulted in a very effective offense last year and an MVP year for Josh. No way to know of course, but right now we have 10 guys that can get involved in the pass game -5 WRs, 2TEs, 3RBs.

Relax? Now you’re bringing Aaron Rodgers into this?

You can compare stats to historical output. The 2024 Bills had the fewest negative plays EVER. Not just for the Bills, of any team ever. Is it reasonable to believe that, for a 2nd consecutive year, they won’t do something that no team in history has ever done? Common sense says it regresses even if it’s still good. The Bills could be a top 5 turnover differential team and that would be a massive step back from where they were. They were a statistical outlier. I believe that Coleman and Kincaid will improve some. I think Palmer and Moore are decent role players. They are as good as Mack was. But will that offset the regression in terms of “luck?” The pass catchers are near the bottom of the league. That’s not really debatable. The question is, “will it matter?” It didn’t last year but they had incredible luck and health on the OL. They were awesome. If any of that changes, the talent becomes more important. Is it enough? I believe the defensive additions will make a difference there. I expect the defense to be better. I don’t expect them to turn the ball over more. I do expect more pass rush though. I expect better run defense too. I expect the Bills to compete for the Super Bowl. That doesn’t mean that they are perfect. If they do fall short of their goal, what will be the reason? My guess is that it’s the lack of playmakers and questionable coaching. The defense will be better and Josh is incredible.
