Beane elaborates on the process of picking Josh Allen
RoscoeParrish replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
Is Ed Oliver really “excellent?” He was a top 10 pick and the second DT off the board. Are we sure he’s lived up to his draft status? I’m fairly confident if you compared the Niners, Eagles and Chiefs drafts to our since 2017 you’d find a couple things: #1 the average draft position isn’t THAT different #2 all 3 teams have found more impact players than Buffalo As interesting as it is to compare us to the Buccaneers, I don’t really consider them an obstacle to winning a Super Bowl. -
David Carr was a bust largely because Houston figured an offensive line was more a guideline than a requirement. He had the confidence and the poise pounded out of him. That team failed him.

Dillard and Reagor. Woof. Both high 20's picks. -
My wife and I, when we still rented a house, the lawn was so small that we bought a reel mower when the gas one died. We could do the entire yard in about 20 minutes. I'm not sure on the size, but it was inner city, so small.

What are you talking about? Maybe you should scold back…You literally specifically brought Bowers up to me when I reminded you Kincaid had a pretty good rookie season. You can’t even keep your rants straight now apparently. Plus, you are back to just completely over looking he was hurt, missed games, and played hurt most the 2024 season again. You need to go outside and get some sun or something dude. You’ve just been rage posting for months and now just want to piss and moan about Kincaid the way you’ve been beating that WR dead horse all offseason.

And that helped us to get Josh Allen and Ed Oliver. Two excellent players who have been with the team for 7 and 8 years now. The reason I only went back 4 years with Philly is because those are the years that they drafted the "impact" players that people talk about. I don't think we'd want to count Philly's 2019 1st-rounder Andre Dillard (19 starts for the Eagles in 6 years---backup O-lineman), or their 2020 1st-rounder Jalen Reagor, who only spent two years in Philly. Not quite "impact" players. I guess every GM makes mistakes. People bring up Philly often, but they actually aren't a good comparison because of where they have drafted in comparison to the Bills over the last 4 years. I made a post a while back showing that the better comparisons are K.C. and Tampa, as they have drafted closer to where Buffalo has. In the post I compare the first 3 rounds of the last four drafts of those three teams (Buffalo, K.C., and Tampa) if you care to check it out. -
Stadium Construction Discussion (No PSL/Seat selection posts)
SoCal Deek replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall
It’s not weather that the contractor would be concerned about. The seats are designed to be outside in the elements for many years. It’s breakage from construction activity. And it’s just that sort of breakage that gets into protracted finger pointing between the various subcontractors on the project. As regards the overall schedule, it’s most likely not an indication of anything more than that the seats were ready, and delivered, so the General Contractor elected to take the risk of having them installed ‘early’. -
I won’t lie, I’ve taken a good, hard look at this thing. https://www.acehardware.com/departments/lawn-and-garden/lawn-mowers/push-mowers/7006267 FIL has an old Black and Decker mower with a cord. It’s a pain to keep the cord out of the way, but it’s invincible out doing its job.

I was only 2 years old in 1986 but I actually was surprised to learn the Yankees won 90 games that year. With how much the Mets dominated the city back in the day I thought the Yankees were at best like 70 win teams those years

That’s true. We were also a 9 win team in 2017 and a 6 win team in 2018. -
The government has negotiating power over drug coverage and pricing for Medicare and Medicaid but little over Commercial coverage. If you ask me the first thing I'd look at doing in the Commercial segment is bringing anti-competitive charges against insurers to force divestiture of PBM businesses. A couple being Optum Rx and CVS Caremark.

They were also a 4-win team in 2020 and a 9-win team in 2021. [13-19 record compared to the Bills 24-9 record those two years.] -

It is also true that one size doesn’t fit all. What worked for Josh may not work for the others. allen is a unique player. -

It seems you have a lot of negatives for a very good team. But, I'll just address the two bolded. How are you so sure about Coleman yet? He was a rookie who had a pretty bad injury. You didn't seem to mention his injury, hmmm. He was out for 4-1/2 games. In the meantime, Hollins got more playing time, Samuel was finally healthy enough to get more snaps, and Amari was getting more snaps (after his addition). The offense adapted and changed with Keon out. And they were still being successful, so they ran with what they were doing (which meant fewer snaps for Keon on his return). Now, it also appears that something happened after the injury too. Sounds like maybe he either got a bit skittish or didn't work hard enough coming back from the injury (or a combination of both), based on what McD said at the end of the year. But, again, he was a rookie coming back from his first major injury to a diminished role. Give the kid some time to mature. The two games before the injury he had 170 yards and a TD. I don't think you should write off Keon so easily or so early. And you do realize that Brandon was in an interview and was being asked questions right? Rich Eisen asked him specifically about drafting Josh, so he spoke about it. You make it sound like Beane went on with some agenda or something. If Reid or Roseman were asked about drafting Mahomes and Hurts in an interview, I'm sure they would answer. And do you watch all of the K.C. and Philly media? Have you seen all of Reid's and Roseman's interviews since drafting said players? I'm sure they've talked about drafting those guys plenty of times. Seriously, the lengths some of you guys go to to try and knock Beane... -

If Forrest is over his break, he could be a beast. -
The more I simmer on this selection, the more I want Beane fired. Are you kidding me with this hand size? 6th percentile for TEs at 9 1/8th…does he shop for women’s mittens? Might not have needed them at GT. I can get that but hold on he only benches 225 16 times…the worst of all FIVE participants at the combine. I thought this guy was touted as a blocker? Furtheore he’s an averaged sized Te and somehow only slightly faster than Keon Coleman. His last name isn’t even Williams. For a fifth round pick, I was expecting someone with all pro, maybe HoF level measurables. Happy Mothers Day

No. I remember it being reported that Poyer being recommended by Babbich Sr. after coaching him in Cleveland. McDermott and Frazier thought he'd fit in. Hyde played well the previous year in Green Bay and we had to overpay to get him. Luckily, McDermott and staff turned him from a jack of all trades master of none into a pro bowl safety. Beane didn't have much to do (if anything) with those signings. They thought Mike Edwards might be a diamond in the rough last year. He wasn't. This year they're hoping the same from Forrest.
