[Beane on The Athletic NFL Show]

7 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said:

The Bills have been one of the top 3-5 teams in the league. National shows want him on their show. Beane is actually good at talking. 
 

He is definitely the most visible GM in the league the last couple years. 
 

Beane’s media savvy is vital to attracting top value free agents.  

[Who was the one player and one coach that would make you the most mad on gamedays?]

Jeff Wright. What could have been…

[What just happened?]

Is this about the site being down?  I didn’t notice.

[Caleb Williams is off to a rough rookie start]

I don’t know how the idea has taken hold that being short is no longer a detriment to playing QB. Watching the best really short QB hit the wall at 32, Kyler hurt all the time, Bryce disaster. Doesn’t matter, keep picking them number 1   

[What NFL rules changes would you like to see?]

I’d like them to expand out the landing zone for the new kickoff rule from the current “goal line to 20” to a new larger zone encompassing the “goal line to 35”. This would set the stage for a modern version of the onside kick where kickers could try all sorts of soccer style kicks that hit the ground first and are fair game after that.  The original onside kick rule from about 1905 was a line of scrimmage regular down play where you could kick the ball down field and it was a free ball when it landed.  This would bring the new rule in line with the earliest onside kick rule. It would also draw many people - players and fans - from soccer into the game. 

[Von Miller +25,000 DPOY Odds]

Bruce smith DPOY at 33, 2nd at 34. Helped having an all pro nose tackle and edge running mate. 

[Buffalo Bills Schedule Discussion / Prediction Thread]

Great possibility of being able to rest and get healthy at the end 

[THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Receivers are a Dime a Dozen]

DHop was clearly one of the 3 best in the league both before and after leaving the Texans for the cardinals.  Then hit the wall rather quickly at the age 30 mark, as many do. 

[Netflix Gets Christmas Games]

Boxing used to be a major sport. Until greed took over. 

[A fun game from 1979, Packers at Bills]

I actually hate when commercials are removed from these.  Ruins the whole understanding of what was happening in real time during the game.  Also, the old commercials are interesting.  

[No schedule leaks thread? (This can be it…)]

Bills at Miami Thursday night week 2.  Love it, no sun bake

[Tommy Sweeney signed with Bears after tryout.]

Lasting memory was a perfect TD strike 55 yard bomb Allen to Diggs v the Pats in ‘22 nullified because Sweeney is not an NFL player and had to grab the pass rusher. 

[WR trade candidates, who do you want?]

I think I’d night the bullet and give up a 1 for Metalf.  He’s a monster like Allen. They should have been playing together for years now anyway. 

[Chiefs Bills Playoff Replay / Bass Kicking]

Thought Beane would at least use one of the 7th rounders on a PK rather than hope for the best with Bass. When kickers hit the wall it’s usually for real.

We all know what the problem really is and it’s McDermotts bend & break defenses. It’s been the same story for years. The Lamar Jackson of defenses, great regular season stats, but chokes when it matters most. People act like a shiny new WR is going to change that 

 
true, but v the chiefs last year, McD’s D miraculously came up with three straight stops in the fourth that could have won the game if Diggs does not drop the ball.  One, Poyer caused fumble, second the third down stop taken away by bogus penalty, and third the stop on third down.  

[2024 Draft Embedded--Has Dropped.]

This PR team got really good at selling hope during the Russ Brandon era. 

[Warren Sharp - Josh Allen 2nd ranked QB in the "Gotta Have It" clutch drives since 2000]

Even in the losses last year Allen was incredible in late game drives.  
 

tying it up v the Jets

two fourth quarter TDs v the jags to get within one score

took the lead v the broncos with a TD

took the lead v the Pats with a TD

Cut it to one score v the Bengals

took the lead last drive and again in OT v the eagles. 
Game tying drive v the chiefs (blown by bass)

[Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State]

The more Bills McAfee and GMF appearances the better the free agents 

[Esiason, Simms out at CBS Sports]

Not that Phil is great, but I don’t see Ryan as being any better.  They probably just wanted someone more familiar with today’s NFL. 

[New Bill - former Lion Quintez Cephus signed (Update: Now released)]

We are already strong in this skill set with Hollins. 

[Would the Chiefs had ended up with Worthy without the trade with the Bills?]

You can’t put a player like Worthy on the field every down, making him a luxury pick. There is only one team in position to make a luxury pick. That said, the Chiefs handed the Bills draft capital for free. 

[NFL looking into an 18-game season and having the Super Bowl on President's Day weekend.]

Why not just make it an even 20. Think about the additional money to be made.

Mel was saying the reason he fell is cause he’s got shorter arms then what they traditionally look for on IOL but hey I’ll take it his tape is nasty. 

Shakir also fell due to short arms. Our college personnel department tracks short arms.
