Poyer and Hyde were Whaley. Brown and Bease were Beane’s first free agent class, and definitely still among his best pickups.

Game week thread - Dolphins at Bills TNF
Sierra Foothills replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
They did sign Shaq Thompson FWIW. They did draft 3 DBs: Hairston, Hancock, and Strong. While it's likely one will eventually move to safety, they all have been primarily cornerbacks in college. That doesn't mean they won't add to the position group again but it's nowhere near the need that LB is. Out of curiosity, I've often wondered if you're a Penn State alum or a fan? I think both Hancock and Strong were drafted with the possibility of being Taron replacements... I think the Bills have projected that need but I agree with @PaattMaann that they probably should have done more at linebacker. To be fair, Tua's stating the obvious. I understand the Dolfan's competitive irritation but there's something to be said for simple truth telling. I think mostly they're just pissed off and need somebody to burn. You're right. Micah's definitely not unathletic. There are plenty of guys who have elite measurables who aren't actually athletic... they don't have the feel for the game and to me that's the distinction. Taylor Mays was a 6'2" 230 lb safety who ran a 4.4 forty. His 10 yard split, vertical, broad, and Wonderlic were all elite but he ended up starting a total of 16 games over 6 NFL seasons before going to the CFL. He was a clunky athlete with no feel for the game and there are countless other examples of guys who measure better than they play... and visa versa. -
This isn't how these things are graded though. Every top end WR is going to look cheap on a per catch basis because of the volume difference. And all teams have these exact same mathematical discrepancies in this regard.

Tom Brady: Broadcaster vs Owner Thread

As much as I despised Brady as a player, I have lost all my hate for him, and actually now really like the guy. i see no issue with this, and Florio is getting really annoying about it. I wish florio had this same passion during spygate and deflategate. -
Allen was a green prospect. HE needed to develop, which he largely did on his own. Your credit for culture and environment is only apparent after it was largely given a chance to develop based on Allen being elite. No QB, no culture, no time for process. All this stuff can matter with a B talent. Give a B QB a great system and talent and it can make a difference vs a team who likely just picked top 5. It just doesn't matter when you're dealing with a Josh Allen level talent. Somebody who is that determined, that intelligent, and that self aware. The game has never failed a Josh Allen level player because the situation was just so bad it ruined the player. Yes, we can agree to disagree

There was plenty of people after one in two years on this own website who were not sold on Josh Allen Go back to the end of his second year and there was still plenty of people not 100% sold on Josh as the future of our team in this site lol This is not as cut and dry as we just lucked into the best player in the world.. Buffalo Bills did have to help develop him To think Josh Allen is the best player in the world on 31 other teams is honestly kind of crazy.. he might be on a couple teams.. on 24 other teams he's not the best player in the world because they would not have developed him correctly We can agree to disagree but it's crazy to think that if player x starts his career at spot y he's exactly the same

Don't jinx us. You all just love poking the football gods... -
Who was the QB that these franchises ruined? Who did we ruin during the drought? Somebody that would have done something if McD was around 15 years ag with our culture? The comment about coaches makes no sense. Every position on earth has a leadership role people report to that provides basic structure and strategy. Every sport has a coach and even if you're elite in that role in Football, you quickly show your worth without your star QB. Meanwhile that QB leaves and just keeps on going. Calling out Fields or Lawrence as an example of guys to justify your point makes no sense. You have to have mental make up to be successful. By your definition we can blame the Raiders for ruining Jamarcus Russell or maybe Russell is the one that couldn't hack it. This run starts and ends with Allen. It is that simple. Once his time is done we will go back to the same pool of mediocre franchises searching for a QB that we can one day credit our coach for "grooming".

Channel 7 (WKBW) is broadcasting the game so you can watch it via antenna or cable.

That is beat the heck out of us has extremely to do with the pedestal Goodell and the NFL have placed him on. I dislike Brady deeply, but it's Goodell who's nothing but a spineless ball washer (owners).

The Jets have not developed a franchise quarterback in 60 years The bills developed Joe Ferguson Jim Kelly and now Josh Allen .. that's three times as many quarterbacks who played for a decade The bears have not developed a franchise quarterback in 60 years... They traded for Cutler and never developed him more Remember Sam darnold got drafted ahead of Josh.. he has tons of talent and a good work ethic.. he is athletic he is accurate he was considered a top notch prospect ... And he went to Palmer's quarterback school too and works hard.. the difference was he was on the Jets.. and Baker was on the browns... Now does Josh have more talent than Sam? Yes, but Sam was much more polished.. and Josh needed to get polished.. which takes a team, it always has Josh Allen did not go to the bills organization which was in futile for 17 years.. he had McDermott right out the gate who is calm and level-headed and has a plan and allows players to grow... We know that now.. 8 years ago nobody knew what kind of long-term coach McDermott would be when it comes to player development McDermott built a culture which is a great influence on everybody on the team.. from Josh Allen to the lowest guy on the practice squad... Everybody respects everybody at one Bills drive from the coaches to the chefs to the mail guy that Josh Allen shouted out.. that is the culture that breeds winning and development Kurt Warner is a Hall of Famer and nobody can tell me he would be the same guy if he didn't go to the Rams... In fact most of his career is not that great... But with the right coaching and team around him he was an MVP Yes I 100% Believe Josh Allen if he got drafted by the Jets is not winning six straight AFC East titles because they are a dumpster fire... He could still be good.. he certainly doesn't become the cerebral, non turnover machine we have now He certainly is not an MVP.. that's literally taking credit away from everybody in the bills organization who has helped build him up Again if they didn't need coaches to make them better.. they wouldn't hire coaches... If Josh didn't think going to Palmer would help.. he wouldn't go to Palmer... McDermott has had a plan since day one and he's executed it... This site was filled with plenty of people who still were not sold on Allen one and two years in... There were plenty of people here Look at guys like Justin fields and Trevor Lawrence.. insane talent... to just say we lucked into the best football player of all time is kind of Silly... He had to be molded.. and he took the coaching and he became the best player in the world

I am willing to admit that I am an old guy but still working at being able to maintain a 3 minute mile on a varied course bike route. I am close at about 3:15/mile for 10 miles. I try to do about 10-15 miles/day but work and other stuff can interfere. -
Multiple officers involved in Pennsylvania shooting In York County At least two people are in serious condition after a shooting involving multiple law enforcement officers in York County, Pennsylvania on Wednesday. Gov. Josh Shapiro confirmed he was on his way to the shooting. He said he was briefed and asked those in the area to follow the directions of local law enforcement and Pennsylvania State Police. WellSpan York Hospital confirmed to Fox News it was treating two people related to the incident, but did not specify who the people are, saying only that they are in serious condition. "Enhanced security protocols are in place at the hospital," it added. The Consulate of Mexico in Philadelphia posted on X shortly after the incident, noting the Mexican community is "advised to follow official instructions." "The Consulate is monitoring the incident that occurred this afternoon in North Codorus Township, Pennsylvania," the consulate wrote in the post. "The Mexican community is advised to follow official instructions." https://www.foxnews.com/us/multiple-officers-involved-pennsylvania-shooting-governor-rushes-york-county-scene Ummm isn't this the U.S. ??

I was thinking during the first couple games, attitudinally, who does Hawes remind me of and I'd have to say Incognito. Violent through the whistle and maybe a little beyond, then he's just walking back to the huddle. On the occasion the opponent takes exception and comes back at him, Hawes is ignoring him like just another buzzing fly.

To the underlined portion, I haven't had that issue with my kid too. But we want is to not have in spread here. If you allow the trend to grow in the select few areas its in now, it will spread. I think the sports need to be separate. I honestly feel bad for these girls who worked their asses off to lose to a male. Just imagine being a Senior and this is your last race? There is a story in California where a guy was able to run a track meeting in both the male and female division in consecutive weeks. That's not right.

Tom Brady: Broadcaster vs Owner Thread
Thrivefourfive replied to ryguy101's topic in The Stadium Wall
Who didn’t think of this as soon as his two jobs collided? I know I did. It hasn’t been clickbait yet because a lot of people don’t know that he has either job. It’s the NFL that should have made Brady pick one or the other, but not both. Total BS if you ask me. And tge awareness is happening now, why? Because the Chiefs are 0-2? Or because he replayed and pointed out the cheating Eagles tush push? -
Let me first state my position so that there is no guesswork involved. If an adult wants to take a regimen of pharmaceuticals and chop their body up so that they can live as another gender, fire away. Those people should understand there are things about their choice that others should not be required to validate. Things like men playing in women’s sports. It’s unfair and wrong and is an affront to real women (that may be triggering language for some). The idea of allowing or encouraging children to do the same is an abomination against humanity and will eventually be seen as a Goebbels-like evil. Let’s look at well-known actress and leftist Cynthia Nixon for a moment. Here is one of her many pronouncements on trans issues: 'Most importantly, I am here today as the mother of a proud trans man,' Nixon said as the packed crowd in St. Vartan park roared. 'I am here today as the aunt of a proud trans man,' she continued. 'My best friend's kid is trans and my kid's best friend is trans.' There’s not a person alive that believes this to be a normal situation. I personally don’t believe it at all, but many do and many media outlets have trumpeted these brave words. How is Joe/Jane Transperson that just wants to go about their dream ever going to be able to do that with such delusional people as Nixon being ballyhooed? Regarding recent news of trans violence, we aren’t hearing about it because the major media outlets are telling us. Last night on NBC Nightly News they did not address the transitioning roommate in Utah. That actually seems like it’s part of the story. You seem very reasonable. Maybe you can answer a question that nobody else here has been able to answer. The lady below is the Lt Gov for the state Minnesota. What is the point of the knife on her shirt? What message is this lady sending to the citizens of her state? Trans kids should be protected from the adults that would encourage them to irreversibly alter their lives. Sorry for being long winded.

There is the thing Rubes !😉 Brady being the key here. Pretty stoked about this Kids last year (yes I was ) and what we have seen this year so far. Creativity and matchups win games ! So far so good Those four options are pretty darn strong as a whole room.

This is beyond speculation and its just plan bad speculation. Both players entered the league with historically losing franchises. Both had low talent levels and roster support. Both had poor QB rooms. Dabs might be your shiny star, but that sort of fades given what Daniel Jones is doing. While also acknowledging the fact that Dabs did nothing prior. Your pushing the warm and fuzzies into the narrative years later, when Josh himself is the largest reason for the narrative. I'm sick of this mass credit to coaches for largely player driven, QB driven outcomes. Its the biggest farce in the NFL. You have 4-5 guys who are really good coaches and help the roster. You have a whole bunch who are average. Then you have 4-5 who likely hurt the teams they coach. Without that QB1 nobody is consistently over .500, if I'm wrong, show me the consistent playoff coach who isn't directly tied to a high output QB. Which you will likely say "because of coaching". Except when said QB leaves, the coach somehow never establishes the same level of success. It's a story as old as time yet people here actually think McD or Belichick or Reid are the glue. Even if they're top 5 guys, even of All Time, it falls apart without an MVP QB. 9 Super Bowls between them with the same two QB's.

I doubt it gives the Raiders any practical advantage right now. I just think he ought to quit being a broadcaster so he can focus on the Raiders, and spare us from having to listen to him. He's not very good, and the guy he replaced (Olsen) is really good.
