Good question? Take a look at the Bills' 2017 roster and get back to me.
LOL! Watt was passed-over by 27 teams. And again the Bills got Allen the following year so not even worth mentioning.
you're fixed on how many teams passed on this or that player as though every team has exactly the same needs.
You are the only person alive who would agree that Tre White would have had a bigger impact than TJ Watt. This is just laughable. Watt is a wrecker, disrupter. White was a good DB for 4 years---ending 4 years ago. The cut him loose after his achilles (his second career threatening injury)....only to bizarrely sign him years later after 2 mediocre/dud years on 2 teams, having played only 21 games since 2021. I'll leave it to you to revisit Watt's stats.

I wouldn’t bet my career with Whaley. Yes, Mahomes is great. Using the capital gained from that trade was used to get Allen. That is a wash. Mahomes wasnt setting records with Charles Clay, Andre Holmes, Kelvin Benjamin, Zay Jones and Robert Foster. Its a butterfly affect that will never play out, but Mahomes doesnt come to Buffalo with Reid, Kelce and Hill.Huh?
Whaley was fired a day after the 2017 draft. Not sure what you are getting at.
I agree that Mahomes probably doesn't win a single SB with McD as HC in Buffalo.

If Hairston comes down with 20+ charges of sexual assault, then I will throw stones.
These situations aren't comparable.
why wasn’t he charged? -

Mostly agree with the rest of your post. Just to be clear though there is no comparison between this case and Watson's. The reason I'm confident Watson is guilty has nothing to do with the uniform he wears. It is primarily the number of accusers confirming the same general story that makes me confident. Plus there is zero wiggle room for nuance or implied consent in what he was doing. Hairston's case is much murkier. One accuser, and circumstances where consent is a lot more difficult to ascertain for people that weren't in the room when it happened.
You are compelled by the sheer number of cases with Watson (me too)….yet still no charges. This reinforces the difficulty of bringing such such cases to charge. Despite copious similar accusations of exactly the same MO, DA never charged.
So the posters who still insist that no charge means the victim is always a lying money grabber are simply nuts

There aren’t any other facts, the case is 4 years old. She waited till he had money to file suite. That in itself speaks volumes. There was never a criminal case, he said she said with no evidence to back her claim.
Describe all of the facts of the case as you know them (hint: the decision by a DA to not press charge on an assault case is not a "fact" of a case, it's the outcome).
You already know that (according to DOJ data) of the 310/1000 cases that are reported, only 50 lead to arrest. It's obvious that there often is not enough hard evidence for a DA to charge--they don't want to take anything to trial except slam dunk cases.
She reported it to the cops (which less than half of victims do). It didn't go anywhere. If I'm her, I'm absolutely going to wait until the perp comes into some money and then sue--why not? Now she is guaranteed his response, unless he settles before he is deposed/discovery. If he settles then he's guilty.
How many times has Watson been charged with assault, despite over 20 women suing him civily for it? That's right, zero---yet we are pretty sure he is guilty of it (because he plays for another team).

What part of "a key player" don't you understand?
There were still "4-5" who weren't the worst run franchises who passed on him. And again, it was McD running the draft.
who would have been more of a key player?
McD passing on Mahomes AND Watt is fireable.

Tomlin at 5 is a complete joke. 0-5 in playoffs the past 8 seasons.

the fact he was investigated with no charges has made my blood pressure go down. That and Beane saying this was investigated pre draft and found still 1st round draft pick worthy is notable
This drama was not known to me even post draft though just saying.
Aaron Hernandez is smiling in Hades over this....

I know you hate 1st round CBs Bill, but I believe that Tre' was a key player in turning the franchise around. We can agree to disagree.
As for Mahomes, as has been said, it wasn't Beane running that draft and the draft value was spot-on. And Mahomes wasn't considered a sure thing otherwise he'd have been taken by any of the 9 teams drafting before he was taken, who all arguably had a need at QB. And if the Bills hadn't drafted Josh the following year, I'd agree it was a huge mistake.
CBs don't turn around a franchise. TJ Watt would have been far more value....
4-5 of those 9 teams are the worst run franchises in the NFL, so what's your point? They made another bad decision?

I keep saying this and it's been said by others as well.
McDermott is exactly like Marty Schottenheimer v2.0.
He's the perfect coach to lead the Bills out of the drought and back to respectability much like Marty led the Chargers back to respectability.
But poor Marty could never lead the Chargers over the next hump which was playoffs and super bowl,
Exactly like McDermott
People make fun of Rivers but he was a great QB in his day who was a victim of poor coaching.
I'm afraid the same fate awaits Josh until we get rid of McDermott.
The definition of insanity is to try the same thing over and over and expect a different result.
Here we are in McDermotts 10th year and we keep expecting something different to happen.
Please remember the lesson of Marty Schottenheimer and Philip Rivers.
I pray we're not making the same mistake with McDermott and Josh
Marty only had Rivers for 1 season. They went 14-2, lost to NE in the Div game. Spanos then fired Marty.
Every Chargers HC since has done no better.

Heading to NYC for a magical weekend with my buddy.
- Flying in Thursday 9/25
- Friday Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black 9/26
- Saturday 1:05 Baltimore @ Yankees (followed by college football at sports bar) 9/27
- NFL Sunday in NYC (Saints @ Bills 1PM) 9/28
- Return Monday 9 /29
So, I need some advice/reco's about where to stay and where to watch the Bills game.
We haven't booked a hotel yet. See our schedule above where would be a good area? Specific hotel reco's?
What's the best NYC Bills Backer bar to go?
Any suggestions for after the Yankees game for a good place near there to watch college football games?
Thanks!
Go Bills! And USA USA USA (Ryder Cup - and look for me on TV, I'll be wearing my red, white blue Josh Allen jersey along the course)
I would stay in midtown--near all transportation---at a chain hotel.
You can uber out to Bethpage. Might be a struggle to get an uber back to the city after. But the LIRR station in Farmingdale is about a 20 min walk from the course and takes you to Penn Station.
As for Yankee Stadium, take the B or the D from Rockefeller Center to the Stadium. Very easy. Do NOT uber.
If you want to get wings outside of the Bills game/backer bar, I recommend Blondie's on the UWS. best I've had in the city. And at some point get some burgers from 7th Street Burgers--small chain in the city, can get with meat sauce that is most like garbage plate sauce. If you want real/best Chinese food, head to Flushing via the 7 chain. skip the Manhattan poseur shops.

I still watch the Sabres, and honestly Sabres Live and the game production is about as positive as it can be without Duffer, Marty, and Razor throwing up in their own mouths.
Awesome 7 days or so for Pegula where both orgs have reports of being so sensitive they are beyond reproach.
It's hard to hear the cries of the fans over these damn things...

The Buffalo News just reported that the Sabres fired their TV Producer of 37 years because the program becomes "too critical".
I am not sure this is a Beane specific issue and more an organizational issue. There's some coddling by design and I think he may have just become a bit more thin skinned as time has gone on.
But PFF also mentioned an issue going back to CAR so who knows...
Simply televising this chronic burn pit of a franchise is "too critical" I guess.

Fields doesn't qualify as only signed to a 2 year contract. I think what the OP is after is guys who've signed 2nd or 3rd contracts and are paid way more than they are worth and most importantly being paid like a top level QB, but don't play like one.
Daniel Jones contact with Giants may have been borderline, though wasn't getting top $$
he was tied at 7th for average annual salary with Stafford and Prescott. That's pretty much top money back then.

we've been hearing about CTE being the downfall of the NFL for ages. We will be hearing that gambling will be it's downfall for ages still.
There is no compelling argument that this is true. Gambling is turbocharging viewership, which is pushing broadcasting rights money almost exponentially, which pushes the cap further and further. That is only good for the NFL.
13 hours ago, GunnerBill said:Americans have a really odd perspective on gambling (especially sports betting) to a Brit. And I think it is proof that criminalising something (or only legalising it in very select circumstances) as was the case in the US until more recent times increases the public perception of the danger associated with it.
That isn't to say that there are not dangers associated with sports betting. There are. Gambling addiction is real and there are people who suffer from it and the corruption risk while small does exist.
But it has been legal in the UK for decades, certainly my entire life, and it hasn't led to a break down of society or some major undiluted corruption of our lives and our sports. Having a couple of quid on first goalscorer at the game you are going to on a Saturday or a fiver on an accumulator is much part of the ritual of being an English football fan as the half time pie and the post match pint.
This. Could have locked the thread after GunnerBill pressed "submit reply"

Maxwell Hairston named in civil lawsuit for sexual assault
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Why would she sue a college freshman?
It would be far more suspicious if she never reported it to the school or cops at the time. But she did
