I mean, at least the players would have a whole offseason to heal from surgery after tearing god knows what ligaments on the ***** turf.

I don't care one way or the other. The thing that irks me is the league's hypocrisy about it. They can ***** the players out to appear in the commercials and then suspend them for using the product... that's like suspending Mean Joe Greene for drinking a Coke or suspending Baker Mayfield for subscribing to Hulu.

Depends on how he deals with the attention opposing defenses will be throwing his way early in the season knowing he and Kincaid are the only true pass catching holdovers. If he can handle it, I think they make him more of a focal point. If he stumbles I think they relegate him to the role he had last season and hope they can feature Kincaid with a posse of “2’s” to carry the rest of the load.

Flutie - having to root for that over-hyped, credit stealing, politicking, divisive little prick because he was the QB of the Bills was not fun for me The Ryans - they're identical, so it counts as one - Wrex's bloviating laziness leading to his predictable failure paired with his idiot twin, who reportedly had a genuine work ethic but unfortunately paired it with not a shred of football sense, made for a duo that I wished had ridden their tandem bike over Niagara Falls

McDermott wanted Van Pran-Granger? It's been asserted time and time again that McDermott only wants to draft defensive guys... and wrestlers... wait, did he wrestle?

Relatively speaking... an inevitable upgrade over Peterman and AJ McCarron. It wasn't just the fans... even Beane laments the mess he made of the QB room that season.

Based on the last half of last season, I think you could make the case for Kincaid or Shakir. Hopefully having quality up and down the WR depth chart will stress the opposition's secondary depth enough that they can't focus on taking away a specific player and/or Shakir continues to shine when he is the WR that draws the big boy coverage.

I think it's a reference to the rumors that were swirling around Allen and the random speculation that Diggs was pissed at him because of it... with a little bit of politics as a garnish.

No. I think we would be seeing questions raised about how the Bills acquired a first-round draft pick without anyone noticing.

Has anyone asked, yet, about DeMeco Ryan's level of concern?

Looks like a pro at blocking out crowd noise/gallery noise to me...

Yeah, gotta think the teams coached by Marrone with Allen as QB would have had the same record because he didn't want to develop a rookie QB so Orton still would have been the starter. Put 2023 Allen on that team and they win the SB with Schwartz as their DC.

The thing I'm holding out hope for is, MVS and Claypool aside, these guys can catch the ball. KC struggled last season because their WRs dropped everything... they were the league worst. Allen showed in his rookie season that even with sh!te receivers he's willing to throw the ball to them. I'm assuming the combination of Kincaid, Shakir, Samuel and hopefully Coleman will have a lot better catch percentage than they did last season with Diggs on cruise control and Gabe "Kelvin" Davis. Hopefully Cook learns to concentrate on catching sure TDs and Knox is healed from his wrist injury, as well.

It’s ok. This is a safe space. Nobody here… actually, most people here (there’s always a few, amiright)… won’t mind that you’re Canadian.

I think it's going to take time on both sides of the ball. I wouldn't expect a defense that swapped out both safeties, lost their CB depth to FA, turned over most of their defensive line and lost their best pass rusher to FA to suddenly light the world on fire at the beginning of the season, either. While they were obviously feeling the wear and tear, you can't replace the experience and communication of Poyer and Hyde on the back end overnight.

I understand the premise, but in this case... I mean... honestly... what more did he have to say?

Do you think the Chiefs would actually fine them for getting the team's doobage confiscated?

Very kind gesture on behalf of Josh and the Bills for a very tragic situation. Already starting to see anonymous $17 donations showing up in the GoFundMe. I suspect the family is about to get a fair bit of goodwill from the Buffalo community as well.

Hopefully not the one responsible for scouting QBs...

Also interesting that he answered questions about Diggs and alluded to him at other times without directly naming him… seemed very intentional… and somewhat telling.

I don't have any thoughs on the matter... no althoughs, either, come to think of it.

This season I think they have him slotted as WR1

Uhhh... while I can appreciate the sentiment, MVS and hands of glue seem to be unlikely bedfellows.

My answer... not likely to be popular, nor is it technically in the spirit of the question as pertains to a breakout year in 2024... Keon Coleman. I think Beane is going to get dragged all season for what a bad pick this was due to a slow start only to have him bust out late in the season or next season (likely in more favorable circumstances) and prove the accumulation of doubters wrong.
