That’s awesome , hope you have a great night and stay safe with your fellow Bills Mafia as the preseason closes. Would love to read your thoughts on players, roster implications, etc after you finish enjoying the game! Go Bills!

Let’s slow down. This kid has been upstanding through out his career and comes from a very good family. He is innocent until some civil or criminal conviction happens. His attorney stated they have multiple witnesses she was saying she was 18 and was not showing signs of intoxication. This could have been a consensual act with someone posing to be 18 or nothing at all could have happened. If she went to a hospital , a rape work up with dna / rape,kit / specimens should have been obtained with records and she would have been treated with meds for exposure to stds and hiv prophylaxsis and plan b etc. Hard to fathom how this just shows up coincidentally now with no prior red flags or smoke signals. Hospitals would surely have security videos to review as well as possible other video cameras in the area. I find it unlikely this could have been hidden from the Bills as they supposedly are very thorough in pre draft investigations. Using common sense , hard to believe with someone of his stature and fame there were no Prior warnings and no trace of abnormal behaviors until now. Just watching his biography on you tube a couple of weeks ago , he just seems to have always been a very driven , family and goal oriented young man. Could he have made an error or mistake as a young man , sure it’s possible, but he is innocent for now. He is not on the level of Watson with serial offenses as the worst case scenario. His attorney seems very certain of his client so I am willing to hold off any judgement, esp since saying they have witnesses testimony saying she was aware and not intoxicated. If some hard evidence like video or positive dna / etc shows up , the it’s a different story. This is one solitary case , so it should be easy to eventually be proven one way or the other. Also with other co defendants , someone will talk for a deal if it did occur to save themselves. Again , not a solo spree like Watson and three guys being involved should make it easier to find inconsistent facts or stories if this actusllly happened. For now, let’s let the process work out and he doesn’t deserve judgement at this point. If Watson deserves a second chance , certainly a young man like this also deserves to accept responsibility and a chance for redemption if this is proven. The truth will eventually come out , so currently he deserves his presumption of innocence as you would demand if he was your own son or family. If there was very solid , proven documentation , it s hard to believe nothing was filed until now. Remember how the Duke Guys lives were ruined and later vindicated when it looked so obvious they were guilty? His attorney said she was not alone and It seems illogical she was there without friends. So personally I am willing to let it play out as we let the civil process move forward. Stop the hate speech about how “ we don’t tolerate this in Buffalo unlike Cleveland “. Many on here have supported MARSHAWN to this day and he has been proven to commit actions placing lives at risk in more than one situation! This is an initial episode , and it’s still very cloudy and he deserves the benefit of the doubt at this point. People on here still talk about wanting to bring in the sociopath Antonio Brown , so let’s temper the pitch fork mentality for the time being. There are many examples of people using the legal system as their lottery as we were inundated daily with attorney advertisements encouraging suing for almost anything. Time to trust our good Gm Beane and staff to solve this within the appropriate legal channels and all we ever hear on here is how much people “ TRUST IN Beane” regarding the type of players he brings in and culture he has established. I believe Beane / Mcd evaluate character heavily and I trust their process as it’s proven reliable so far. This is the American system of justice and he deserves his side to be heard and then let the burden of proof fall as it may. Amber Heard is just one example of the me too movement being placed above actual reality and being misused , and so I chose to support him until proven otherwise, especially since he has been an upstanding young man with a supportive family his entire life. If he somehow faltered , he is so young he deserves help and a shot at redemption if he accepts responsibility ( unlike Watson who still says he did no wrong and continues to lack personal insight , yet he will be playing I the NFL later this year ! ) Prayers for both the young woman and for our punter that they both move on in life and I hope heal with time, and the legal system resolves this fairly resulting in both learning, surviving , and going on to lead productive lives.

Yesterday pat mcafee was talking about possibly returning! He actually went to training camp and kicked 32 balls , and said the last twenty were good and he felt ha hadn’t lost anything. He is seeing it as a “:sign”:, and possibly a reason to listen to his heart to return. He has a great relationship with Irsay , and said if colts were interested he would consider putting his YouTube career on hold as he is based in Indy already ! Not joking about this , was really contemplating this! Would have to work on deals with fanduel , othe sponsors , and he was concerned about all his Pittsburgh guys working with him who have all started home remodels etc. Hawk was supportive on the show as well. I couldn’t believe it but he was very serious. This Haack signing may end that fantasy tho. Macafee is apparently close friend with the punter who tore his Achilles and thought this might be a “ calling” to place sit for, help the guy out while rehabbing! I doubt it would happen but he did go to training camp , got their gear , and did apparently kick 32 balls for them. I can’t see putting a thriving YouTube career on hold just to go back to punt but these pros may miss the game after awhile. Crazy stuff, plus he would have to get clean I think from weed ( tho I’m not sure they screen for that any longer)! I really don’t think he was joking but hard to tell with him. He actually said he would think about it seriously this next week. He is probably still a better punter than Haack. Just a fyi little tidbit if you didn’t see his short about it on YouTube yesterday ! 😊😎

I said the exact same thing while watching with the shout is group. Heidi all over but then they came back to split screen! Only the Bills!

Check out the YouTube video by The officer Tatum. He is a prior police officer ,author now, conservative black male who started blexit with Candace owens, has spoken all over the country as a black male debating issues like athletes such as kapernick claiming they are oppressed etc.and he has been invited to the Whjte house during the Trump administration. I just mention that because he is not just some talking head with no life experience , as he has over a million YouTube subscribers and I have found him to be very fair about police shootings and police brutality issues etc. He has been there and done that so imho his input has perhaps more validity than talking heads and places like TMZ. HE USUALLY never comments on a situation without researching it thoroughly first. I think he tends to take a very common sense approach to iisues , and he was a prior div 1 saftey who aspired to play in the NFL , but was sidetracked by injuries. He played in the pac 10 I think , at either Arizona or Arizona State, so he also can relate as an athlete. He is also a devoted father and husband. He showed the entire video of Lynch’s arrest ( with his car missing the entire front wheel down to the brake calipers! ). He stated you just have to be in control of the vehicle to be accountable for a dui. He explained that means having ACCESS TO THE KEYS , BEING BEHIND THE WHEEL , BUT THE CAR DOESNT HAVE TO BE ON AND THE KEYS DONT HAVE TO BE IN THE IGNITION. LOOK UP “ FORMER NFL STAR MARSHAWN LYNCH ARRESTED FOR DUI” on “The officer Tatum “ posted on YouTube on 8/12. I would trust his analysis as he has arrested people as a police officer before in similar situations. I.can’t see how he gets off from this after watching the situation and having a police officer explain the process. Plus Lynch refused to get out of the car and was informed politely by the officer if he didn’t get out of the car , he would also be arrested for. obstruction. I think officer Tatum also offered good tips about avoiding duis that would be good info for young adults to view coming from someone who is very easy to relate to. He was very fair speaking about lynch in this situation May be worth the 9 min to view the video if you haven’t seen it , especially if you believe lynch will get off. I don’t know Tatum personally ( he is the nephew of former Raider , Jack Tatum as well , so he also has that tie to the NFL) but have followed him on YouTube and watched his career take off. Pretty impressive career turn around for a guy whose main dream growing up was to be in the NFL. REGARDLESS OF HOW LIKABLE Lynch may be at times , seeing how impaired he was , the damage to the car, and his prior history of breaking the law , he should lose any sponsorships and the NFL should quit using him for promotions etc. He could have killed an innocent person / persons and I wish him luck attaining sobriety while also vowing to never support any products he is associated with in the future. He is a flawed character and it may take quite a bit of adversity for him to ever be accountable for his behavior that has placed innocent lives at risk; imho not a joking matter any longer. Everyone deserves second , third chances , but at somE point you actually have to demonstrate you are sincerely changing, and obtaining and maintaining sobriety is not some unreasonable or unobtainable behavior. Best wishes, hope the video was worth your time if you chose to check it out! 😊👍

How is it more tolerable, exactly ? Unless your starting qb tears it after finishing the Super Bowl , the season result is pretty much affected the same way. There is no way to protect against a non contact injury, I don’t care wtf game it is. 😉 Guess you would suggest/ support all starting qbs to only walk / run while on the field in regular or post season games !? Pretty funny ! 😀. Just kidding around , but the preseason didn’t injure Wilson. Plus if Allen doesn’t see the field at all , esp after last years opening Pittsburgh great game , I would bet this o will look like they never played against real competition for a couple of games. Allen will do as told , but already stated he preferred to play some in the preseason. It’s his job, his career, and he likes playing it knowing the risks. If the firs team doesn’t play together at all before the first game and they lose , I am sure you would never be critical and all those predicting Super Bowl will just be quiet and never criticize Mcd for sitting them ! 🤣 This is not last years NFL’ s easiest schedule and the d won’t be facing a bunch of bottom feeding qbs ! Just saying , with all the hype , I can’t see most fans being happy if they look out of sync early , drop a few against a rough schedule , and then being ok with Mcd having not allowed the first units to play any in preseason. It’s not like the Covid Season where ALL THE TEAMS started on equal ground. Lots of starters have already seen reps in games. I don’t know , are the Rams not playing any starters in preseason? 😎

Hey buddy , hope you’re good ! I saw the live video of the guy who calls himself the “ thigh doctor”. Didn’t act or seem like a real doc to me. He was on with a Stethoscope listening to his thigh ( not exaggerating). Was also dancing around in shorts that he hiked up trying to show off his thigh development. Seemed more like a knowledgeable PT guy to me with rehab experience. If he is a real MD , I am surprised and apologetic , as some people just want to be influencers now as a career, and heck , it might pay more! Pretty laughable as I thought after 42 years in medicine, I had seen quite a bit! 😀😎🍸I just turned 65 on 7/30 and am finally retiring because of failed neck surgery , but keeping all my credentials active my friend. It’s hard to give that up after a lifetime wanting to get there ! Just saw a poll on Fox News that only 30% of the public trust Drs now , ( not hard to figure out why, guys like Pierre Cory MD who saved thousands of pts and is extensively published , is having his boards threatened by the ABIM for his work on a certain Nobel prize winning medicine etc while mandates of things keep happening , eroding trust in science , so maybe not a bad time to get out ). Then I saw a certain attractive female chiro with several thousand followers on YouTube treating a twitch E girl ( who posted her income as over 1.5 mil$ per month just from her only fans site alone !) , for “ sinusitis and allergies “ by “ manipulating “ her maxillary and frontal sinuses, and that’s allowed to still be posted and monetized !😊I did hundreds of flexible nasolaryngoscopies in the office and I never could figure out how to physically move/ manipulate a sinus non surgically.! 🤣😉. YouTube must be paying well , better than insurance companies ! So we get football players prognosis by YouTube and allergies treated by “ manipulation “ ! No wonder the public doesn’t know who to trust ! But yeah , the guy seemed entertaining and like a good Bills fan , but didn’t have the typical , serious and professional demeanor I think most might expect from an ortho. Just wanted to say hello and Hope your career is going good ; cherish it as from my experience , time goes too fast! 😊. I really wish you enjoyment and continued success in your career as a colleague and fellow Bills fan. Hope to chat more about the Bills as the season rolls along! Will enjoy watching all the games Saturday , Bills have a tough opening reg season schedule and the o line , new OC, ? About our cb’s and maybe Poyer early are some red flags for me especially after that opening Pittsburgh game last year. Indy will be tough even in the preseason, but not sure how much either team will show things Saturday given we play again in the regular season I believe. Nfl network said last year we had the easiest schedule in the NFL ( based on ending wL records) and we still ended up 11-6 ( their words not mine ! ) Does make me take those rose colored glasses off till we actually see real action; the afc is going to be really tough and McDermott needs to finally prove he can avoid stretches of lulls this year and step up his performance come playoff time as it’s not exactly been stellar other than the New England game! It really does showcase why Marv is a hof coach despite the SB losses as it’s just so hard to even get there. ( this post was solely replying to my friend mr weo and not intended as any medical opinion, just answering his question about the “ thigh doctor’s “ video analysis concerning Tre white after he watched him work out on video and he did make some interesting observations about mobility and whites ability to jump and land on the affected leg ) Stay safe and healthy! 👍

Maybe other positions , but I think it’s hard to argue that most qbs have their best years in the league as a rookie ! Usually the exact opposite, ala Peyton Mannijg etc. This is one time I would respectfully ask for real life examples, excluding Guys whose career lasted more than a year. For example it wouldn’t be proof of that thesis if you throw in career scrubs like Rosen or peterman. What legit , franchise, long term starting qb had their best year as a rookie in the modern era? Most either sit for the majority if their rookie year or suffer from interceptions and low completion percentage. They improve as they learn to read defenses , despite teams trying to take away their strengths ,because if they didn’t , they wouldn’t last as starting / franchise qbs. Their development may not be linear , but it sure isn’t trending down in their subsequent years or they are replaced. Ask mayfield, Darnold, Rosen,,,,,,,oh yeah,,,,,they are all with new teams, replaced because they have physical deficiencies, not because defenses have film on them now. These guys all have avg or below arm strength and they are immobile ( mayfield less so , but less mobile than Watson on a massage table ). By that logic , Brady should never be able to complete a pass or win again as there’s endless film on him. He , and in a similar fashion, Jones , will continue to be productive because they Also study tendencies and film and they have success because of intelligence, countless hours of film study , and despite teams having an abundance of film; they read the d and get the ball to the open guys on time . I’m sure if you asked they are better now than they were as rookies. So , yeah , prove to us who these qbs are in real life who had their best years as rookies and are still more than journeyman qbs ! 😀😊

Hard to see him not getting more sacks, picks, etc when now you have a future Hof player leading the d, and better d lineman in front of him at almost ever position. Only one way to go and I don’t think they record negative numbers or missed opportunities all that accurately. 😊 Hey , maybe he will lead the league in “ pass elevations” as a new stat ! It’s just like all the great arguments that passes are never thrown in the middle because he is so good, and of course it’s hard to prove a negative premise. I think the one real measurable is he is working on his 5 th year option and not a lucrative contract when Beane seems to find ways to sign big names/ impact p,Ayer’s he wants regardless of the cap. That is at least tangible. Is there really a huge doubt that he is probably the player that if off the field / injured , that most fans won’t believe our SB chances plummet because he is so irreplaceable!? Take Milano off the field and this D struggke. Poyer is much more impactful , he just wasn’t a high draft pick and is getting on the wrong side of 30, yet I still bet Beane does something to keep him happy and I bet that happens before anything else with edmunds. This is his last year as a Bill IMO, There are faster , younger LBs who can cover ( how many picks has he had , 2 in 4 years? , and he lacks PBU’s “;because they don’t throw in his area” ( because they throw frosding routes in front of him as he always drops deeply and he lets wrs come to him and many times long 3 rd downs get converted as it’s hard to remember how many times he has blown up a guy after they catch in front of him, which may also account for his lack of impressive FF numbers given his anazing “ size/ speed combination”! Great kid , but he is never mentioned with all the great Bills LBs like , Talley , Bennett, Conlan, Spikes, Spielman and even Ray Bentley was a harder hitter than Edmunds. He will never be mentioned with great LBs like Lewis, Taylor, Urlacher etc, which is amazing given he is the QB of a supposed #1 D! The Bills won’t make that mistake again of drafting a Lb in round one , and just look to this year as they drafted Bernard and they don’t seem extremely concerned about their Lb depth should edmunds be out for any period. He is a good player , good scheme fit, but his production will be replaced with a more cost effective version next year imo unless he has a career year of real plays, not based on imaginary plays that didn’t happen because teams game planned to avoid running thru his zone coverage. Great character man, one of the least instinctive 6’5” LBs in Bills history. I would love to see how this D looks with a real “ Jack Lambert”:mentality mindset who plays the part and isn’t out there just cuz he looks like he should be tough. Hard to trust it’s suddenly going to all click now after 4 years. When you hear hoof Beats and turn around , it’s usually a horse and not a zebra , right? 😉 It is what it is, he is who we think he is by now most likely. He is more cliche than wall of fame candidate. One thing is certain, the time for excuses has passed. ( yet I wonder the over / under on how many times we will hear “ he is still so young” ? Time to let him.grow up on someone else’s SB window! )

Searched and didn’t see this as a topic? Apparently hurt ribs in car accident, out for early part of camp and Trey officially starts on pup. Sorry if posted earlier , didn’t show up in search. Delete if duplicate. Not a great way to start the new o lines chemistry. Sounds minor but sometimes rib injuries can show as fractures later on films. Schedule is very tough early , beginning of season will be big challenge given many moving , new pieces.

D missed multiple tackles at crucial times , at one point I think 5-6 guys hit and failed to wrap up a wide receiver on a critical third and long ( pretty sure Talley and Bennett and a couple of corners / a safety also whiffed on that play ) and it led to a go ahead td. Bruce failing to get a safety / or fumble early in the game allowing Hostetler to escape ( Bruce admitted this several times, plus we allowed a back up qb to beat us along with being unable to stop Anderson ) is another of the things that should have happened and were usually/ probably statistically easier than a relatively long ( at that time , ‘91, ) fg with the clock expiring and Super Bowl title at stake. Plus during that last drive they ( Bills ) mismanaged the clock some and I believe Thurman has talked about that and stated they should have run one more play ( or he went down earlier than he could have , sorry my memory is fading as I turn 65 on 7/30!) and they could / should have gotten a few yards closer. Norwood had been struggling during the last few games ( hence Christy coming in the next year, ending Norwoods career) as well, so those few extra yards were important, and the time management issue was either on the O or coaching staff. Yes, Norwoood was to blame ultimately for missing the kick , but it was a team underperforming ( after dropping 51 on the Raiders 2 weeks earlier ) that caused them to be in that position in the first place. They were out coached , and the guys like Bennett, Kelly , etc also admitted to being out enjoying the Tampa nightlife the night before as well. You know all this , so imho it’s hard to blame Norwood as the “ main” reason for that loss. Bills were the better team , having beaten the Giants earlier in the regular season as well, so it was a culmination of crap, not just that missed kick that cost them the win. If he had made the FG, would you say then he was the main reason for winning? I would bet against people saying that. Just like 13 seconds, hard to blame on one person ( as Wallace has been scapegoated quite a bit, or the special teams coach) when things fall apart and turn an almost certain W to an L ! 😉🥲. Lol ! Probably the two worst memories ( music city miracle is right there too ) in Bills history. Have a good 4 th tho ! 🍸🍸

Thx for the documentation with those pics. Hey I’m all for looking your best and feeling good psychologically because of that , and hair treatment is so vast and easy now it’s almost a shame to let young men experience hair loss as it can be prevented. But doing all the other plastic things like the cheek implants ( wow , are those evident in that top left pic or what? ) , lifts , and fillers can come with risks , and in his case it actually has detracted from his natural handsome appearance. That facial structure on the left reminds me of the Joker’s smile from Batman! Hey if that’s what it takes for the goat to feel confident , then it is what it is ! I just don’t get fighting time tho when you have had an amazing career, beautiful wife and family , and guaranteed to transition from one career to another safely without having to fight your way up from the bottom again. For someone who is almost worshipped by so many , it just means he is as human and insecure as the rest of us; hopefully the plastic surgeons he sees remain ethical because obviously there are those out there that only money and doing things on celebs is how they seek their own rep and success and they could use their vast talents for so many other better causes. He is not old at all ( except in pro football years) and it’s kind of sad seeing him subject himself to that.

Josh might look “ chunky” compared to Brady but while sitting at the post match interview, you see his pecs and overall frame are just much larger than the other the qbs , and I’m pretty sure after seeing Dawkins comments about Josh hitting the off-season weight training, that’s prob just more muscle mass there ! That’s how he runs thru LBs and cbs, and is something Brady has no idea about because he has never trucked anyone in his career; same thing with Rodgers as he avoids contact and whines for flags if a LB “ breeze”knocks him over like JJ Watt was talking about ! ( Watt was a good commentator and would be better than Brady I bet ,,,also they should get Barkley on one of the week play game crews; he may not know football but he is a pro athlete and he is funny as hell ! Now that would help ratings ! The NFL needs someone who is irreverent like Chuck on a crew !) The post interview was pretty good tv. Earnie is a class guy, great interviewer! Well , hopefully this added loss will fuel Josh to be better than all of them when / if they meet this coming year. Would rather he have the last say on the football field than get “ The Match “ bracelet ! He def wasn’t on his golf game but hey, he has just arrived from OTA’s , so that’s not too surprising. So hopefully he will be fired up when he is back in his element where he can actually dominate, and pay these guys back for today as Josh was very humble throughout the whole day. ( Josh is very respectful , burns no bridges off the field! I would have given Brady some crap,,,he looks like he has had cheek implants to combat the aging effects where that area of our face sags with time. His lateral cheek bones were really prominent and I bet he has started with an early lift as well because his eye folds look narrowed or lifted toward the temples. Would love to see a plastic surgeon compare his face over time as it looked like a very obvious change to me ; check out cheek implants on YouTube with a plastic surgeon and see what you think. I think with his wife being a model, the new TV contract looming , he is getting ready for Hollywood! That culture is crazy and the antithesis of “ football” culture, and Tommy may be gradually being headed that way 😉😀. Have to admit I loved Rodgers comment asking Brady , “ Have you ever gotten paid so much for giving back !? Lol! Classic line! ). Josh is physically on a different level than these guys and I hope it finally pays off for him.

He’s playing with custom clubs. No one at this level plays with clubs that aren’t custom fitted clubs. 👍😊

Think of walking away from what you love , what is your life’s passion and has been the sole driving force for most of your life since childhood perhaps. Then throw in a lifestyle very few ever get to experience as you are treated like royalty by fans. , and all the travel and things you get to do for free and all while getting special treatment. Finally throw in the millions of dollars you get accustomed to earning and all the other earning opportunities thrown in along the way that all helps set up your family for generations. How do you give that up if you are still healthy enough to play , knowing many guys still are not even as good as you are at even 85% of what you might have been in your twenties ? Plus these guys are not old , and their bodies are not broken like players from the earlier decades. They get a short break from being sore or in pain ( pain is a great equalizer , you may be a tough person but pain can reach levels that when it’s there daily it clouds thinking and it’s hard to imagine being able to just move normally and it just wears you down. Take that away and you are back to being you , back to seeing hope! You get back to experiencing the joy of looking ahead to each day again!) and now they remember how high the highs are competing at the best , most popular sport in the world ! Do I want to quit that to face uncertainty, going to a regular mundane career , or career just talking about how great that sport is that I know I could still do? Look at your own life ; if you were lucky enough to live your dream , do your career with joy at a high level , would you give it up in your late 30’s , knowing once you quit it will never be available to you again? It’s different if it’s taken from you because of injury , disability, or illness. Then you have no choice and it’s a different mindset. But walk away by choice after a lifetime of hoping and dreaming and then succeeding and if you still say that would be easy , I wouldn’t believe you. I would think you were naive because you had never experienced giving all that up in real life, by choice, just walking away! I would want to talk to you a year later and see how you felt then. Remember , no injury , no illness , you just walk away from your passion, not some job you settled for but one you spent your life fighting to be in and loved and it paid Better than almost any other profession ( plus no pressure like being a pilot, a surgeon, in the military or police where others lives or your own were at risk daily etc,,,,,playing a sport for entertainment) and just knowing human nature concerning driven , successful people, I would bet you would be second guessing your decision. That’s all these guys are doing and why would you be critical of them because it ‘“ exhausts “ you !? Haha! If that exhausts you, you are too caught up in others lives and still have some growing to do ,,,,as we all do ! 😉😊

I respectfully disagree only because he has been ingrained to be PC during his entire career , especially under Belicheck.. He has this squeaky clean image ( in his eyes) and I can’t see him delivering actual criticism or being truthful when players or coaches are performing poorly. He is so used to just spouting the company line as the QB , I think he will have a difficult time ever really delivering critical or an honest assessment of situations where teams are performing less than they capable of or expected to given their talent levels. Can you honestly say you expect him to be critical of his fellow QBs that he has spent 20 years being a contemporary of ? I think he is so conscious of his reputation and how people look at him that all I expect is a very vanilla , always providing “ positive” analysis or spouting cliches about how difficult it is to make certain reads etc, and I would be shocked if he can be openly critical of coaching decisions because he is about relationships as he continues to promote his TB 12 brand , and I think he will be timid as he will never want to burn any bridges as he may have a long time goal of partial ownership. He may be good at analyzing certain strategies , I just think it might quickly get old as he doesn’t strike me as someone willing to be critical of the “ Shield “ , and I don’t think he has ever come across as witty or someone to show a willingness to ever say anything negative in a manner like Romo has for example. I just think Brady is an example of having financial and other conflicting interests involving the NFL that I think his performance is almost predictable. It’s a classic case of just because he was a great player , he was hired with NO EXPERIENCE as an analyst which would never happen in other professions ( it’s like hey , you were a great patient managing your diabetes , so let’s hire you now to run our regional diabetes treatment center ,,,,,,,just because you have experience with YOUR situation doesn’t confer expertise across the board as an extreme example !😊). It would be a nice surprise if he actually is honest and not afraid to be critical when the situation calls for that , but I am skeptical he can overcome his “ indoctrination “ of decades of never being critical of the NFL or guys he has been friends and colleagues with. Think of yoir own profession , it’s not easy being openly critical of people you have had relationships with. Will he be willing to take chances that he might offend someone like an owner when he has made it public ( regarding the interest in owing a part of the dolphins ) he has future ideas of possibly being a member of that exclusive club ? I think he has the potential to be good having been so good on the field , but if he is only willing to heap praise and always stay away from any potential criticism or controversy, It’s very likely he will be just another boring ex player given a position he never actually earned by working his way up through the ranks. I don’t see him being as entertaining as someone like Manning for example, who like Romo , has proven to be an exception to how former athletes have performed when shoved in to analyst positions. Time will tell.

Maybe not as important as we like to believe , but great to watch. Pollacks article about Beanes draft success is really not that impressive outside the Allen pick. Only 7 starters from Beanes picks now, compare3 to 9 from FA suggests this is a lot of hype without merit. Have lost many picks to other teams of ps or bad trades like Teller. Fromm was a great pick , right, so Beane is not so infallible. Fun to watch , but in reality his roster management / FA acquisitions are really his strength and key to our success. 31 picks so far and only 7 starters still is kind of a reality check and so while fun to watch , it shows the importance of the draft outside of the franchise QB is probably overrated for this regime. Probably good for depth , and maybe they get one playmaker who helps this year. I personally hope its a quality rb as that is easier to contribute now, is an area we need better talent. , and could actually help protect Josh and add dimension to our offense in one possession games or to close out games we lead in. Fun to watch, yet not all that impactful in team building. 🍸😉

True , but no muscle mass protects from hits to a knee with a planted foot, or lis franc foot injuries, or ankle / fibula fractures. Some injuries , like head injuries , are not preventable regardless of muscle mass , so yeah, I would limit exposure like called runs ( can’t take away his talent scrambling ) as size doesn’t always matter. Season revolves around him so while his size does limit risk , it doesn’t ever negate it totally ! To get a Lombardi he has to be playing., so they need to protect him with a good line cuz no muscle mass protects from blindside hits and concussions. Just medical facts. 😉

Beane said top ten is out of reach on podcast w tasker Brown and he has a set limit to how high he would consider moving, which I think was upper teens. Listening , he said the best values were in 2-4/5 th rounds and I came away with the impression he was much more likely value wise to trade down. He did say there are more than two holes that need filled on this roster and will hopefully have guys contribute this year , so those thinking he would trade away later picks because they couldn’t make the roster are incorrect. He stated this included depth positions , just not starters. Really did expect first round talent from THEIR BOARD to be there at 25 ( as all teams have their own first round evaluations and they are not exactly same as Bills board) , but if not there he seems to be leaning that the sweet spot for value is in second / middle rounds. More than prior drafts , I am thinking if their first round evals are off , he won’t hesitate to drop back and felt like moving up seemed very unlikely, and this is in part because qb class is poor and not likely to drive guys down the board like prior drafts. Could change if teams reach for Qbs tho. But bills at 25 are in prime area for teams to want to move into the first to perhaps reach for qb with 5th year option.

Was just quoting him directly. Check out his interview w tasker / brown. I think it’s his risk evaluation perhaps concerning guys with medical issues whom he feels if you take them and have to sit them while seeing if they return to form CAN set them up for failure. Was his analysis and related to if he was faced with two guys rated equally on his board. He said he would then go for higher floor guy over POSSIBLE higher ceiling as it’s a safer risk , and fairer for expectations to the players. Intersting ideas. Check out the podcast and see if you get the same takeaway. It’s always possible I misunderstood, but it was about players with Med issues on their board, not necessarily his entire approach to every player / pick. At high picks he didn’t feel it was fair to take a guy that high with Med issues and then have him sitting out with that pressure to get to his full ceiling. Could be just smoke ,, but he seemed sincere. 😊

Still not relevant to any on field football activity is it? How does a chiefs coaches son carry any weight or interest here? Yet it’s ok if guys call Beasley a piece of crap just based on personal decisions and he was a good player for us. Reid means nothing as it’s the legal process and you are telling me that’s common to discuss in the football forum? How does that have any relevance to football? It’s a court decision: you can like it or not but it’s not related to x’s / o’s and has no impact on the field. How is it bs? What FACT are you basing that on , what precedent , what articles support that “ opinion” ? You are making an opinionated legal judgement. It’s our system , and that’s not a football topic. A little double standard , as you flag other opinions! Power is a dangerous thing with subjectivity. Lol! Yes, other teams are talked about , relative to football , production or players values. But just saying a legal decision is “ BS “ as an opinionated topic has usually been things not tolerated , unless you happen to be a mod ! There are actually topics great topics chiefs related to roster etc ; a court decision about a non player , an insignificant coach with family ties is hardly topic worthy. How does it matter other than someone thinking it would not happen without influence. Welcome to the real world, ; that’s not news as sept is still before the main part of the season and for all you know he will be in jail. Enlighten me how that impacts football. Best wishes. 😊😉

Yep , my error! I was up all night as some one hacked my email and also was in my Amazon account which got shut down! Pretty stressful. A hacker was literally buying things while I was on the phone with Amazon reps ! They couldn’t stop it and froze my account until I got my email secured at 7 am today! So I admit , I forgot about edmunds 5 th year! I apologize. I was thinking more about contract extensions, thanks for correcting me! I do believe tho edmunds is overrated and time will tell this year. I do think there is a difference tho as I think Oliver was a certain to be picked up but delayed until they had cap space. Not sure edumunds situation is more than one more hedge to evaluate long term viability and I think Oliver , who is more impactful will get a second contract. Not sure edmunds will. Imo, easier to replace a LB , than a DT who can rush. I was just thinking if Edmunds was living up to expectations , it might have made more sense to extend ( like Josh , if he is the def “qb”)rather than ride the fence , as his price might only go up if he somehow finally evolves to be that guy. They have drafted well, and they can’t pay everyone. I think another similar year and they could easily replace him as his ceiling may have been reached and a guy with a high floor might be just as good rather than continuing to wait to see if he can raise his ceiling. Thanks for the kind correction , I was def in error. My main thought was its a prove year for edmunds ; Beane stated they always intended to do Oliver which seemed more definitive he will be here long term. Not so sure about Tremain unless it reallY comes together this year. Best wishes! Sorry for the error.

Great ideas! Appreciate your thoughts. I like walker better than hall but either would be a great pick to control for 5 years plus tags and then move on as they age. Beane with brown/tasker today said more likely to move down as most value is 2-5 th rounds. Limit on how high they would ever go up. Also they are unlikely to take medical issues In first as risk is too high and sets “ guy up to fail” ! He goes for higher floor guys Over higher ceiling as again there is less risk with higher floor players ! Sees possibility for trading players , not picks as much in this draft and sees chance for very few qbs to go in the first. Wr class is very deep and suggested impact guys in later rounds who can impact now will be there. They do expect a first round graded player to be there at 25 as all teams have different boards. Yet he really seems ready to trade down because same grades on many players in the 30’s -40’s range. He did say more than two holes exist on this roster , including depth need so those saying trade all the picks as late rounders have no chance are incorrect. Interesting stuff on the bills podcast with brown / tasker interviewing Beane ! Don’t duck, your thoughts are just as valid as anyones ! Best wishes !

Why does it matter to you , how is it Bills football related ? It’s the legal system and should have no relevance here and truly a “ subjective opinion “ means nothing and seems like a topic for a political board. Too bad some opinions are just permitted. Agan. No relevance to a Bills board unless now the legal system is a topic for here. No diff than medical issues unless it’s ok to be hypocritical. Lol , have a sense of humor! We’ll see ! Best wishes. 😊🍸why is it BS? Decided by judges unless you are a legal expert as well !? Please don’t attack me again just for “ my opinion” , no diff than you creating a topic like this. I like your posts , but clear double standard here Enjoy the draft ,,,perhaps a more relevant topic!
