  1. Past hour
  2. KC is a scrappy team. They can make the plays they need at the right moments. Even when things aren't going their way, they usually get back into it.
  3. wow irts been a decade already ? set for life at age 31 - 40M career earning whick includes a great NFL pension - whale(y) of a pick but better trade (Phillips) He got a ring with Philly as well.. made his mind up at Kentucky Darby...
  4. It doesn't seem her party is too keen on her.
  5. Carved out a very good career.
  6. A dimwit like Roundy has declared this a “skill issue”. Imagine hitting “submit reply” on something so vacuous.
  7. If the emphasis is on the journey then there's not much point in a destination. Would you like me to remove Burrows numbers too? I'm sure with enough finagling, we can get that 24 down to 19.
  8. He has to pass the Team Physical. Patriots Dr call on this one. They can dump him if he fails Diggs. It's in the contract Thanks PFT Present. I suspect that is all he is doing
  9. And they're proud of it. On the front page of the Seattle Times sports section there was an above the fold picture and article about how brave this person is.
  10. I remember him intercepting Andrew Luck in Rex Ryan's first game. That was pretty darn dope, ya dig? Too bad that was the height of the Rex era.
  11. Kincaid vs Oliver as this year’s TBD whipping boy
  12. How many of the TEs ranked below him would have caught that final pass against KC? That's really all I care about. And those are the guys I want.
  13. There were some great moments last season. Terrel Bernard with the game winning pic was probably my favorite. The cutaway shot to the fans going crazy was beautiful.
  14. Not sure how many were runs but Knox's snap share percentage was 60.6% and Kincaid's was 56.7%.
  15. I remember so many here that hated the idea of Higgins in the draft. I don’t remember why. Maybe he didn’t have a good combine or something. I really thought he would be a good pick after watching him in college. It seemed like the Bills really liked him, Beane was at his pro day
  16. Sorry to get a bit philosophical on a football board, but... Let me ask this. Is a person's life meaningless unless they reach the top of their profession and are rich and famous? i.e., "win the Super Bowl" according to society's standards. Or do they instead look back on life and see all of the fun and loving interactions with their friends and family; births, weddings, small achievements by you, your spouse, or children. Do they take pride in learning and growing and becoming a better person and helping their children to do the same, pride in overcoming the obstacles and adversity that they've faced, the enjoyment of holidays and parties and vacations and great conversations, and intimate moments with the one they love, etc., etc. What is more important in the end? My second question is, when we win the Super Bowl, what then? Yes, it would be an awesome, ecstatic moment that we will all remember for a long, long time. A weight lifted off our collective shoulders. But then what? Do you stop watching football? Do you not care if the Bills stink then for the rest of our lives because at least we got one? Or does the narrative become, well we've only won one Super Bowl with Josh as our QB. A good GM/Coach would have won 3-4 with Josh. But, how does it really change how you watch the following 10-20 years of Bills games? I could care less about bragging rights, etc. And of course, that stuff fades with time anyhow, just ask the Jets. Whenever they say, "well at least our franchise has won a Super Bowl," others will respond, "yeah like almost 60 years ago, you weren't even born, so who cares." What we will remember is that moment, and that memory of sharing it with our families and fellow Bills' fans. But then the next season, it's just striving for that same goal again---and who knows how long it will take to do it again? And we have actually had tons of those types of moments, just not in the Super Bowl. But honestly, I wouldn't trade being a Bills fan for all of the Lombardis in New England and K.C. Why? Because it hasn't been easy. The life lessons that have come along with being a Bills fan (resiliency, perseverance, overcoming adversity, loyalty, compassion, true teamwork, etc.) are unquantifiable. And because of all of the heartbreak, our small victories can be as or more exhilarating or precious than those other teams reaching the peak. Let's go back to New Year's Eve 2017/2018. The drought ends. One of the best New Year's Eves of my life because of it. The joy and celebration we felt and shared with the team and Bills fans all around the country/world (just for making the playoffs) was probably as high as any team's secondary Super Bowl win (if it wasn't their first SB, or first in a long time). I mean how much true elation was there for say New England's 4th or 5th Super Bowl? Of course you're happy to win it again (especially if it was an exciting season), but the emotions felt are no where near the peak of that 1st one...or probably of making the playoffs after a 17-year drought. How about the rally in Buffalo after the first Super Bowl loss in the 90s. When the entire crowd cheered for Scott Norwood to come to the podium (after having "lost" the game for the team...as many other fans would see it). Still brings a tear to my eye. And Marv reciting the "Sir Andrew" poem to the team, after the SB loss, about getting back up to fight another day. 51-3. I don't even need to say any more and most of you know what I'm talking about. And those that are old enough to have experienced it know. I was in the stands that day and I will never forget the party that was going on in that stadium for the entire second half. Or running through the parking lot after, high-fiving every other Bills fan. The Damar Hamlin incident. How the team and community rallied together for our fallen comrade and grew closer because of it. All of the charitable donations made by Bills fans (Andy Dalton, Lamar Jackson, Damar, etc.) I could go on and on...but you all know. We have had a lot of joy and a lot of heartbreak on this journey with our beloved team, but isn't that life? And in the current era, beyond breaking the drought, we have enjoyed 93 wins (almost 65% of our games), we have dominated our division rivals, scored the most points and have the 2nd most wins last five years, getting to watch an All-time great QB---Amari lateraling the ball back to Josh for a TD in the snow vs. SF, Josh hurdling Anthony Barr to win as a 17-point underdogs, the perfect New England playoff game, the epic battles with KC (reg season and playoffs), etc., etc. I don't know about you, but I have enjoyed it all, Super Bowl or not. Yes, we all want to see the Bills win a Super Bowl, but if it all seems meaningless unless they do, then maybe it's time to get off the ride. One person can look at a roller coaster and say, that's dumb it just goes around in a circle and you don't get anywhere, so they walk away. While another person gets on and relishes the sensation of every up and down, every twist and turn. "I may be going to hell in a bucket, but at least I'm enjoying the ride." -The Grateful Dead
  17. I forgot that he started all 16 games for Washington in 2020, when they won the division with a 7-9 record and finished second overall on defense. They had no QB.
  18. Does it say how many snaps Kincaid pass blocked in? I don’t remember many but I could be very wrong
  19. Forgot how the Bills could have really gone up 20-7 late in the 2nd qtr but two bad plays, they let KC right back into it. After a big punt return to KC’s 40 yard line, Josh threw a brutal pass to Samuel on 2nd and 9 that would have gone for a big gain. Then after a Josh’s scramble, they elected to go for it on 4th and 3. Josh threw a bad interception as Knox and him weren’t on the same page. Rather than going up 20-7, KC scored a TD to go up 14-13. As we all know, the Bills would win but it was a stark reminder, how the Bills have to get cleaner in their execution if they want to win it all. Ultimately, the lack of execution is what cost them getting to the SB last year. KC simply has executed better against us when it’s mattered in the playoffs.
  20. I'm on PFF right now and it says Dawson Knox does not qualify Do you have a link to where it says he does have a qualifying grade?
  21. In this thread which is more important: The Journey or the Destination What's the average when not playing Pat Mahomes
  22. I just heard on the radio that he’s friends with Hailey’s uncle Jake Steinfeld (aka Body by Jake) imagine looking out at the crowd during your vows and Larry David is just leering at you like
  23. I remember the shock I felt when Brandon Beane came in and immediately dealt Darby and Watkins. It immediately signaled two things to me: One, he and McDermott were trying to build a culture, and only wanted players that fit that culture. And two, they were gonna be drafting a quarterback in 2018 come hell or high water, and this was the first move made with an eye toward positioning them for a potential move up the board. Always thought the way Beane pulled off those moves nearly simultaneously was cool, as was the fact that he got replacement players at each position that he traded away, simultaneously planning for the future but signaling to the locker room and fans that they weren't throwing in the towel on the present. Other than that, as far as Darby himself, all I can say is: Good, solid, athletic man corner. Never a world beater, but usually a plus player when he was healthy. Carved out a nice, long, respectable NFL career. Here's wishing him a happy retirement.
