I think if any receiver on this team takes a leap, I think it will be Dalton Kincaid.

This is well and clearly put. To repeat something I posted elsewhere in support: McDermott's defense is built to depend upon players who understand their role on each play and execute flawlessly rather than physically superior stars. It breaks down when we have a player who ad-libs outside his role. Example: Jordan Phillips in 2019. As a 3T on the Bills #2 ranked D, he had a career year with 9.5 sacks. But that same D was 18th in the league for rush Y/A and one reason for that was Phillips being a bit too quick to head for the QB, rather than maintaining gap integrity against the run. The dependence on everyone on defense knowing and doing their job is how the Bills manage years like 2023 where the Bills D was #4 for points given up without a single defender who received all-pro or pro bowl honors. In contrast, the Ravens #1 defense had 2 1st team all pro honors and 4 pro bowlers. The #2 Chiefs had 2 1st team all pro and a pro bowler. And the #3 49ers had a 1st team all pro and 4 pro bowlers. #5 Cowboys, a 1st team all pro and 3 pro-bowlers. #6 Steelers a 1st team all pro and 2 pro bowlers. One can argue about the significance of pro bowls or the voting process, but in the bottom line they both recognize what Emmanuel Acho (I think) called "freakazoids", players who have athletic abilities that let them make game changing plays most players at their position simply couldn't. The Bills D manages to be solid (most of the time) without freakazoids, because guys know and do their job. And when it's "next man up" with guys who don't know their roles and execute near flawlessly, we get badly gashed. Example: 2024 reg season Ravens game featuring Baylon Spector at MLB, Dorian Williams at OLB, and Cam Lewis at Nickle and then Rapp went out and Cole Bishop came in for him. 471 yds, 271 on the ground, no interceptions, 1 sack for 1 yd. Ugly all around.

I’ll go for 51- 825-6 if healthy.

without his injury last year he surpasses those numbers as a rookie-so you actually think he’s going to regress his 2nd year rather than improve

You were all in on him back then...

Some are, some aren't. GB answers it below: Thank you.

Much of the discussion this offseason has been about Keon Coleman and the step forward he’ll need to take to become successful. In fact, Brandon Beane constructed the WR room with the expectation that Coleman would take on a bigger role. I’ve seen fans with some pretty lofty expectations including comparisons to Tee Higgins or even calling him a future WR1. Personally, I think that bar is too high. Yes, I do believe Coleman will improve from last season, but I’m expecting more of a modest jump rather than a breakout. His draft position also matters here. Historically, receivers taken late in the 1st round to early 2nd, like Coleman, tend to have decent, not elite, careers. That includes guys like current Bills WR Elijah Moore. Tim Graham recently dug into the numbers using TruMedia and looked at all WRs drafted between picks 28 and 35 since the NFL’s 2002 realignment. Here’s what he found (excluding newer guys like Coleman, Worthy, and McConkey who haven’t played enough yet): Average game: 5 targets, 3 catches, 44 yards, 0.3 TDs Average season: 13 games, 35 catches, 471 yards, 3 TDs Average career: 77 games, 203 catches, 2,691 yards, 15 TDs The top careers in that group belong to Jabar Gaffney, Kenny Britt, Hakeem Nicks, Tee Higgins, and Michael Pittman. Even former Bills darling Kelvin Benjamin ranks in the top 10 for receptions and yards — meaning his career was actually above average for that draft slot. So when you look at it, Coleman’s 2024 season already puts him close to the average for WRs taken in that range: 29 receptions, 556 yards, 4 TDs There’s definitely room for growth but expecting him to become a dominant WR1 or a high level WR might be unrealistic. That said, I’m optimistic we’ll see some improvement. Personally, I’m projecting: 2025 prediction: 38 receptions, 625 yards, 3 TDs What about you? What are your expectations for Coleman this season?

Yup. And everyone's seen/realizes it now. No more fooling people with a leftist in moderate sheep's clothing. Going to be real interesting see their nomination process in 2028. Likely voters.

Which ironically is even more than the total that cared about that information.

I still think his best ever game was @ San Francisco in the covid year 2020.

Hoax. Even by MAGA math. This is too easy. Hoax.

This just never gets old! 🍺

He is not asking for Barkley or McCaffrey money if he wants 15 mil/year. He is asking for more the second tier range. Jonathan Taylor - 6.2% of cap at signing. Benched for pass blocking problems in games. Alvin Kamara - 4.8% of cap at signing current extension, 5 years older, a bad pass blocker Josh Jacobs - 4.7% of the cap at signing after a disastrous 2023. A solid pass blocker. Cook at 15 mil/year is asking for 5.4% of the cap. Cook will get close to what he is asking for on the open market (between 13 and 15 mil/year I would project) he is a good player even if pass protection is his biggest flaw. The decision will come dow to if Beane really wants to bank on Ray Davis and a rookie (or mid level free agent) in 2026 for a team that now runs at a higher percentage than it throws. Especially after we just had reliable production from Cook both in the regular season and especially in the playoffs where rookies and mid tier guys tend to fade. Since he is our best skill position player for Josh, I think resigning him would be the smart move and it also saves you the cap space or draft capital you would have to spend on a replacement.

Simple answer to that - no, he wasn't.

under 200 ypg and 9 TD in 7 games against bartenders and insurance salesmen. a good QB would tear that league apart

If the guests had any luck, one of those dresses was covering her face.

you could ask the same of any WR who has ever played. WRs are often open yet not actually targeted. That’s intuitively true. What’s the point of your question?

Definitely not LVP. She never would've let the geezer come close to touching that doll until she had the nickel bouncing around in her can.

The NE playoff game a few years ago where Josh Allen had the perfect game was the greatest performance I’ve seen from a Buffalo Bill ever.

Why am I thinking of Lucy Van Pelt?

Biden was the frontman that got elected to enable the leftist that could not win to run the country from behind the curtain.

Draft registration was reinstated during Reagan's 1st term. Pretty sure it's still the rule for men. Even though there hasn't been a draft in ~1/2 a century, makes sense to have the infrastructure in place to reinstitute it should conditions warrant it.

I'd add that most RB's start declining after age 27 regardless of usage and investing in McGovern and/or O'Torrence is more important to keep the line strong no matter what RB is in the backfield. The main argument folks can make about extending him now is they think he can buck most of those trends and extending him now is smart because he'll be more costly next year when he hits free agency. Plus, you get the added bonus of showing the locker room that if you work hard and do all the right things we'll reward you with a 2nd contract and it'll avoid any drama this summer. Beane's weighing all of these factors for sure and that's why having a hard number of what he thinks of his value is smart. I think the bigger sample size the better even if it means paying more next year. Both sides have compelling cases though. I just like to play the odds and I'd move on from him after this year.

I never served. At an early age I knew that I would never serve in the Armed Forces. I had a kidney taken out at age 4 and when I expressed interest following my dad in the Navy as a kid, my parents let me know that I would not be accepted (4-F). Nevertheless when I turned 18 I went downtown to register to vote, get my sheriff's card (ID to drink back then) and to register for the draft as everyone had to although there was no draft for 2 years. They told me that tthat they would now have people register 2 times a year and the a few months later they stopped the registrations altogether. My friend that is 2 months older than me had a draft card.
