  1. Past hour
  2. Glad they are doing something about this but it seems like it would b The point is once it hits 0 time is up, they give a "half second" or so for the ref to go from looking at the clock to then look if the ball is snapped. It should not be on human to do that IMO, get it snapped on time or it should be called. It just looks bad when you can see the replay go to 0 but the play counts
  3. Ok, thanks for the response. I read it all. I don't feel much clearer about your opinion. Like if you think he's an NFL WR1. Your guesstimates for him are similar to mine but I am maybe not as impressed by that Cole Beasley level production bar from the slot. He is a really tough evaluation though because there just aren't any comps I can think of so I don't blame you for not really being able to nail it down either. I don't think he's a WR1. I just don't see him playing outside full time and most WR1 do. The only really dedicated slot guy who fits that profile as WR1 is Kupp and how he wins is pretty unique to Kupp. Obviously Shakir's gift is as a RAC machine which is awesome but I am just not sure how that projects with A LOT more targets as opposed to how Kupp did it when healthy. I think the Bills did a great job keeping Shakir's throws short to intermediate last year after misusing him as sort of an inside-outside guy as a rookie. They used Gabe Davis well as a low target option early in his career too though. I am excited about his potential but I am glad they added Samuel. Samuel is a much better option to compete in the slot than the tiring Emmanuel Sanders was as a boundary WR. Sanders was basically a tomato can they set up for Gabe to knock over.
  4. He will back up Oliver. Johnson at 310-315 backs up Jones. Williams was in a 3-4 5 tech DL position rushing in a contain position over the OT. The Bills DTs are more attack style. He’s 303 and has started 44 games over the past 4 years. Around 50% snaps. If he remains the 4 DT, he should get 30-35% snaps. Good fit. Remains to be seen if he and Johnson bring more as backups than the past few years. Certainly hope so!
  5. My guess is, if this happens, Baltimore or KC is going to jump us again to get a player we want like they did with McDuffie and hopefully Beane isn't gun-shy about going to get the guy even if it cost him and extra pick or 2. Yes, they can turn that 3rd rounder into something to move up in the 2nd round but they are going to be looking at the bottom of the 2nd tier barrel for WR if they don't get one in the first round (and they don't actually need to use that pick but to move up from 60 to low 40's it might cost them close to that or a combo of picks later on).
  6. There's this show on YouTube where the "celebrity" faces a gauntlet of spicy wings (no ranch, not unless they bring it). Maybe he should appear to clear this all up?
  7. I hate sweet stuff as an adult. I admit it. I like salty, and in particular spicy, like really, really spicy. Having written that, I was such a fan of the chocolate-on-chocolate Pop-Tart. Can't eat such things anymore, as while I'm 6'6", I also hit 300lbs during the height of the pandemic. Still, fond memories...
  8. The difference between the 3rd and 4th, in terms of draft value is a mid 4th rounder. Basically the NFL took, the equivalent of the 117th pick away from the Bills.
  9. I'm all about them trying to find a "diamond in the rough" but I don't think any of the top 3 WR's are near the same as when we moved up to get Watkins. I get the feeling that is probably a thing that is causing most people to be weary of the idea of moving up. But if 2 (1's gets you in that sweet spot. I'm assuming other late round picks will be included). Why not go for broke and get one of the top 3 WR's in the draft and a future Diggs replacement that you don't have to worry about paying for 5 years? Could even toss a little spice on it and say trade up in the 1st round (for next years 1st and a 4th this year) and down in the 2nd assuming the 1st was a top flight WR and the 2nd rounder was Polk and gained a late 2nd and another 4th. Interested then?
  10. I think the smart move is to stay pat at 28 or Trade down a little bit from there to try and pick up a 3rd or another 4th that we can use to get back up into the 3rd. The only issue with that is finding a partner that wants to move to 28. Prevailing thought is that the type of guys left at 28 aren't too dissimilar to the types of guys you'd find throughout Round 2. And that the real depth of the Draft is in the 2nd and 3rd tiers that spread multiple rounds. If that's the case, it may not be as easy as the Trade Down crowd makes it out to be to find someone who will give up multiple mid rounders for 1 guy still on the board at the end of Round 1. But, anyways, I think the move up makes more sense in Round 2. Getting a difference maker that can play right away at WR (if we were to go DL in Round 1) or DL (if we were to go WR in Round 1) is a dubious proposition at 60. Probably need to get up to at least the middle of Round 2 to secure someone there. In a perfect world, it's a small trade down from 28 (unless someone has fallen) and then a trade up from 60.
  11. I think the 3rd round comp pick was a killer and why Beane is pissed about it because that might have been their plan to get Thomas or Mitchell or a sliding Odunze. That 3r rounder was a valuable trade chip. I don’t see Beane wanting to give up 60. So we’re looking at 30, a 4th this year a 2025 1st(the equivalent of a 2nd rounder this year to get up to around where the Colts are picking. That is in range for Brian Thomas If you want to get a couple picks higher like the Broncos at 12 you can throw in your 2025 3rd rounder
  12. If the Bills didn't have JA17, this would be a trash heap of a sports empire like all the rest. Both teams need a new HC, but the Sabres more desperately so. However, I don't think that's the game being played here. Certainly, and over the past decade, I've seen worse Sabres' teams. We all have. But this one, or at least on some level, is more brutal -- because they should be a LOT better, and yet they aren't.
  13. I think either/both are possible. If one of the big 3 WRs slips to 9, I believe that the Bills are going to try to move all of the way up. If Thomas slips, I could see them trying to go up 7-8 spots. Otherwise I think they stay or go back in the 1st. I think in the 2nd it will be a defensive player. It could be on the DL or a safety. Depending on the board, they may slide up depending on who slips. If someone like Chop Robinson is on the board in the early ‘40’s, the Bills will be looking to go up. They have 11 picks. They won’t pick more than 7-8 guys at this point. They also won’t hesitate to use future capital to get a potential star. They don’t have enough top of the roster talent.
  14. I have no idea if he is happy or unhappy being a Bill, but if we were to trade him before the start of the season, I don't think we are getting much in return (probably a similar return as to what was received for Keenan Allen).
  15. I have no misunderstanding. Zero is zero. It’s absolutely insane to have plays go well past that then create a big question . The league of course created this but it’s ridiculous. Get the play into the headset, qb call your reads, snap the ball.
  16. Yes. IMO Beane’s joking comments about taking WR in every round…. he MAY be willing to push chips in 2025 1st, 2nd may be used to move up in 1 or both rounds. Beyond trading for Diggs with a 1st, we’ve never invested premium picks at WR this year is the year with value + need to go after the position very aggressively Beane should approach the draft as if the WR depth chart looks like this Samuel Shakir Diggs is 50/50 gone between now and next summer. Hollis is a good depth player short term. Shorter is a ? if he makes the 53
  17. Trading next year’s high picks sounds like a good idea until next year when you realize it wasn’t worth it and you need that pick back. The draft, even the first round, is too much of a crap shoot to trade future picks. The idea is to keep finding Matt Milanos and Terrel Bernards and make the best of your high picks each year. The Bills might try to get back into the third this year, but I don’t see them using next year’s picks to do it.
  18. The rookies will cost 2-4M and BB said he had about 6-7$ M before DT Williams. The rookies can beat him out or not. With $10 M the Bills have plenty of $$ if they want another impact vet post draft like Floyd last year. I don’t think you’re an idiot but the Bills will have these vets and some rookies make the team. It’s a balance. 11 rookies are not making this roster because the Bills already have good backups. Now if they see an amazing DT at a value pick they will take him. If not they have a 4 man rotation set to go because BB wisely added these 2 “old” vets. Perhaps they will go after DE, WR, and S earlier than DT. But if they get Newton at 28 the DT it’s because he’s the best guy and not a reach. More likely they get DE or WR. But imho he is positioning the Bills to have a very good draft of 8-9 guys who have a great chance to make the team. WR, DE, S, CB, RB, OT, LB, DT, KR. One of each could make the Bills.
