    I think this will end badly for the Texans when Diggs starts pouting after realizing he is #2 or #3 on their depth chart. He is going to be a distraction for their excellent young QB. 

    We will see how long Ryans puts up with his attitude. Imo, Ryans will be swifter than McDermott to impose discipline 

    I think they finally pulled the trigger when they realized the pouting that would go on after drafting the heir apparent in the first, even waiting until 28.

    I've waited to post on this until I could find some positive spin, but I just can't. The Bills WR room, right now, consists of the 3rd option on the last-place 2023 Washington Commanders and a 5th-round slot receiver. That's it. The Buffalo Bills currently have ZERO elite weapons on offense.

    Kincaid in year 2? The league leader in catch % per target who was also 11th in ypc?

    The more I sit here the more I am happy riding out the WR with a pick at 28. Draft OL, DL, LB, and S... Retool this year.

     

    Next year in a healthy cap, 2 picks inside 40, another at 55-65ish we can move up if we want or draft 2 more WRs and more firepower.

     

    Stay at 28. For the love of God. 


     

    there was about a zero chance of Beane staying at 28 before this trade

    It’s pretty ridiculous. The Chiefs have been pretty inconsistent the entire season, but moved the ball at will against us. Only putting up 17 against the Ravens. So give Josh Baltimore’s defense and we would’ve won decisively. 

     
     

    I thought not having the backup quarterback of the defense in there was devastating, especially give how much the team’s top tier pass rush relied on scheme in 2023.  

  5. For those worried the game is getting too soft, the “flying tackle” was originally banned for player safety in 1910 along with the tush push.

    September 28, 1910

    In order that those interested in football may more fully understand the changes in the rules for 1910, it may be well to review the work of the committee and to state and explain what the changes are, although it is difficult to do so briefly, without the use of many technical terms.

    One thing particularly should be clearly understood,--that the underlying purpose of the new rules was to minimize the element of danger in the game. To this purpose the committee adhered throughout all its work, and it should be commended for its single-minded efforts in this direction.

    A list of the rules passed for the purpose of ensuring greater safety and an analysis of their probable effect shows how many and drastic the changes are. Moreover the other rules, though made in part for other reasons, should also help in the result sought for.

    The changes made primarily to diminish the likelihood of physical injury were, briefly, as follows:

    1. The halves are subdivided into four periods of 15 minutes each, so that the prolonged strain of 35 minutes of continuous play will now be removed, and the total time of play is reduced 10 minutes.

    2. Players once withdrawn from the game can now be resubstituted, so that there is now no longer the temptation to play a man to the limit of his endurance before he is removed.

    3. Flying tackles have been prohibited, in the hope that the heavier shocks of tackling may be prevented.

    4. The runner is prohibited from "crawling" after being once downed, so that any "piling up" on the runner may be stopped.

    5. The team on the offensive is prohibited from pushing or pulling the man running with the ball, a rule which should practically eliminate heavy mass plays.

  6. The one rule I’d like to see to bring defense back into the game is make it a turnover if the offense loses possession and the ball goes out of bounds. This would remove the end zone rule inconsistency and make the game safer because you hit less hard if there is a premium on stripping the ball out. Most importantly, all of the ball control offenses we see these days - with teams going turnover free for multiple games in a row - have turned NFL football into a snooze-fest.

    He was the starting center for the Chargers when we played them last year. I remember thinking how lucky we were to play against their 3rd center in our matchup, and then our interior DL did basically nothing. So maybe our coaches were impressed and figured he was worth a shot as a camp body if nothing else.


    didn’t Oliver blow by the middle of their line to win the game. 

  8. Division should be easier this year.  The stars aligned perfectly for Miami last year and it wasn’t enough - they are never going to have any thing close to an under  30 Tyreek, and a first contract tua, waddle and Wilkins. As far as the jets go, there have been only about 2 QBs with any success after 40, Favre and Brady and those guys were virtually indestructible when it comes to injury avoidance.

    He was, in fact, the #1 WR in terms of catch percentage. Everyone above him was a RB catching screens and dump-offs. He was also 11th in yards per reception. Not bad for a slot guy. He was also #1 in Success % and yards per target. He only had 45 targets all season. That number needs to go up.

    Shakir being the league’s number 1 receiver in  reception percentage per target, while also finishing 11th in yards per reception, and playing in a wind tunnel of a home stadium, is almost bizarre.
