Education bad; stay uneducated. Your future is right in plan. Not educated make great freedom. See comrades in many successful food feeding countries.

I really hope this kid lives up to his potential and draft pick status. I still have high hopes for him.

It doesn’t matter. It’s not funny in the slightest. If anyone mistreated my daughter, I’d kill the guy (metaphor)

Who actually pays 'thad' to write about the Bills? The Pats***?

Vlad Ducasse - he was only on the team because his position coach wanted him and just seem so incompetent. Also somehow the name didn't help - you expected someone name Vlad to be tough.

👆🤡 - someone seems panicked. And polls? POLLS? You believe polls and comment about it IN THIS THREAD after 2022? They never think.

My guess is we get our rookies signed, and maybe acquire an Edge Rusher, or leave as a rainy day fund.

Exactly. This has been discussed to death. Most Bills fans want him to come back to form, but it’s ok to be skeptical until we see it.

I’m not overly optimistic, but some of this bigger corners — like Rasul Douglass — take a few years to really get their mechanics sorted out. Still, with Elam’s physical tool kit, and background of NFL DBs in the family things like poor footwork shouldn’t be this big of an issue.

Dark chocolate. Less sugar, more cocoa flavor.

I've written it down in my own notebook so I don't forget.

My question about Von is…. Is he motivated anymore?

As men, we're not going to be all that disturbed by female sexual energy directed our way. Even if we're not attracted to the woman, it's not a terrible thing for a woman to show she's sexually interested in you. These women's allegations are not the same as a girl at work grinding herself into you. A better metaphor would be this. Imagine you have a job as a waiter. You're a waiter for a group of ridiculously big, muscular gay guys. The kind of guys who could easily take you in a fight. One or two of those guys start grinding on you. You can't fight them physically, at least not with any hope of success. Your employer values them way more than you. If you feel their behavior crosses a line, your only real chance to gain power in this situation is to file a lawsuit. So that's the pro-plaintiff argument. The anti-plaintiff argument is that the women filing the lawsuit have a strong financial incentive to lie. Moreover, you obviously don't want people filing lawsuits over every little thing. Whose side should I take? I'd need to learn a lot more about this lawsuit before answering that question.

Draft picks, Replacement guys and practice squad

I’m actually trying to be patient with him for this year. It took Bernard and others a couple of years so as long as he progresses this year, I’m good. If he doesn’t progress this year, then we move on. That’s. Just my humble opinion.

Yeah there's truth to this.

Agreed. That said, you haven't addressed Buffblue's question as to why the Texans need a guy like Diggs.

I'm probably one of the most vocal "Elam is a bust" guys on the board, but man I really want him to prove me wrong. He says "it's not like I was cutting corners, it's not like I wasn't listening, wasn't taking notes, wasn't preparing the right way... just that it allowed me to learn though..." What does that even mean? He's clearly acknowledging he's fallen short, but if it was none of those things that held him back & he was doing all those things right, how did he learn anything from that? I know he's trying to give off a positive attitude & show he's got a positive mindset, but it makes me think "well then why is a 1st round talent struggling to fight for a backup role if they're already listening, taking notes, preparing the right way, etc.?" The idea that McDermott doesn't play rookies was always a silly excuse & definitely not true, but on the other hand he's being kept around for a reason. There's obviously still potential that the coaching staff sees, and he has had some clutch moments for us. Hoping at the end of the year someone can quote this thread & say "Hahaha you were wrong!" but I've all but checked out on expecting anything from Elam.

What happened to the "Coleman will have a hard time starting the year" quote is that he said it only one time during his intro press conference. And to that, I think @HappyDays put it best in another thread when it comes to that quote: Since making that statement, he's confirmed Happy's sentiment by calling Coleman on at least 3 separate occasions "The X". That's his role on the team and that was Diggs' role on the team. Will being this team's X make him the #1 WR? It really depends on your definition. If your definition is the go to option or the WR with the most yardage - time will tell on that. But if your definition of WR1 is the starting X WR - then, yeah, Keon Coleman is WR1. As for the question of who I think the #1 WR will end up being, in terms of yardage and production, I don't have a Crystal Ball. But I imagine it will be one of Keon Coleman, Dalton Kincaid (a Big Slot WR in reality and a TE in name only - like Von Miller is a "LB"), Khalil Shakir, or Curtis Samuel. That uncertainty is something else that Beane has also spoke of multiple times since the Draft. He's said on a number of occasions that he wanted to create a room where week to week, that #1 option could change. Where the ball is spread around and there isn't just one Diggs like player that the Defense keys in on. And that comes to another problem with your theory. If they were to trade for a WR (unlikely at this stage IMO for a number of other reasons, as I've discussed) - that would mean that one of Coleman, Shakir, Kincaid, or Samuel would likely be no better than option 5 when it comes to targets and reps. And with what they've invested in that group, how they want to develop and evaluate the younger players, and the skill/production some of them have shown already - I absolutely do not see that happening. Again, you're calling out people for thinking they know how Beane operates (mockingly calling them "resident Beaneologists").... then claim to know how Beane is going to operate. It's pot and kettle.

If Chase behaves, I have a sneaky suspicion that he'll not only make the team but really contribute.

Dawg / Dog fight

Milano is the key to whether this defense has any semblance of competing. If he isn't 100%, we're done. I have little or no faith in Von, AJE & Groot generating pressure while supporting our young and vulnerable secondary.

Houston are better than Jacksonville. I was the guy telling everyone here last offseason Houston was gonna be good. That roster is young and talented. People were sleeping on them. I don't think they are a Superbowl contender yet, but they are not a Jags like one season wonder type story. They are going to dominate the AFC South the next few years.

They are already calling the classes of 2023-2025 the forgotten generation - lost. Let that sink in. They know they completely destroyed your development and educational paths. Now here are some details - you already spent a year wondering wth is up with these FAFSA Forms they changed on you during Covid….. Just another round of applause for Covid Lockdowns! Congratulations graduates! We are sending you off to college that’s not in any way shape or form reasonable - especially if your parents did everything right like make good financial decisions, stayed married, have a good income that your masters think means you can pay these loans no problems oh absolutely. Why are federal student loan rates so high? …In the last three months of 2023, 3.8 million parents borrowed $112.2 billion in PLUS loans, Department of Education datashowed. For 2024-25, those loans will be extremely expensive at a more than three-decade high 9.08% interest rate, plus fees... Student loan rates are set yearly, based on the last 10-year Treasury auction in May. The 10-year Treasury yield has trended higher over the past few years as inflation rose and the Federal Reserve aggressively increased its short-term, benchmark Fed funds rate to combat it. Both high inflation and higher short-term rates generally push up 10-year yields. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2024/05/28/parent-plus-loan-rate-2024-25-soars/73824155007/ Remember Class of 2024. Never ever ever vote Democrat. Congratulations on your achievements. They screwed you every step of the way and didn’t care. Orange Man Bad.
