48 pages and counting for a possible WR5 who may or may not make the team. My take, if Vegas hadn't taken Thorton at 108 (Bills at 109) or if Seattle hadn't taken Horton at 166 (Bills at 170) we probably aren't having this conversation. I suspect Beane had this as a near-guaranteed signing in his back pocket during the draft based on his "put a pin in it" comment and his comments to WGR in his WR rant about no opportunities with how the draft fell to attempt to upgrade his top 4 WRs (this signing does not improve the top 4). As it stands, Moore is competition for the bottom of the roster with Shavers, Shenault, Hamler, Virgil and Prather. If he's better, he'll earn a spot. From a purely numbers standpoint he'll need to replace Hollins 31 receptions, 378 yds, and 5 TDs. TDs aside, given his past production the numbers seem easy enough (though Mack did it on 50 tgts, not 100)... the challenge is Mack tended to snag those balls at critical times, and he was a beast as a blocker. I don't know if they'd be counting on Moore (or anyone else in that illustrious list) to be their "clutch" guy.

I wonder who they cast for the Kiko jersey swap scene? 🤔

What about Zach Ertz? Any news on that front?

Can’t remember the exact date, or whether it was a Sunday night or Monday night game, or even who won, but it was Bills-Jets in Orchard Park in the 90s when they unveiled the new fluorescent security uniforms. Perfect game to do it… plenty of tailgating and lots of downstate rival fans… it looked like fluorescent ants invading the stadium all night with all of the drunkity-drunk drunken shenanigans. 🤣

I chose Baltimore, contingent on Henry not declining. I thought last season that the winner of the Bills-Ravens game was going to the SB, and I think the Ravens defense got tougher to play against. I get the “until we beat the Chiefs” argument, but they were not the team I thought we had matchup problems with, and I think our secondary is better and will at least slow them some. Cincy’s defense isn’t the one that beat us in the playoffs, and I think our defense will be improved, so I’ll take our offense in that track meet. Houston took a step back IMO and I’m not a big Stroud believer.

Any recent head injury? You could be having seizures. 🤷‍♂️

Sounds like someone needs to be reminded that there are worse things than your finger that you could be dipping in the blue cheese…

...dead to me. You’re a 5 year old with a Happy Meal?

I put steak on my steak.

@PromoTheRobot - I would think posting a link for Bill "sextra" casting would violate the TOS, but what do I know, you cheeky monkey.

Ranch... he's dead to me.

Did you and I read different posts? Or did Mikie2times kick your dog or something? Pretty big overreaction to an otherwise innocuous post...

Truly laugh out loud funny. Noho Hank is a great character, but the casting for the whole thing in general was awesome. That is my favorite clip from the whole series. My wife enjoys the series, as well, but probably wasn't as amused by it when I referred to her as "queen of Suckballs Mountain" for the next month.

I don't know about doing the SAME thing... There is planning... and then there is execution. Browns bringing in a number of players for a QB competition... good plan. Settling on Watson, Flacco, Pickett, Gabriel, Sanders to fill out your QB room... Brownsiest execution ever. The biggest point of interest will be which happens first, Sanders getting cut for being (or Neon poppa being) an intolerable pain in the ass or Joe Flacco's arm literally falling off. Unless they're hell bent on picking their actual QB in the next draft... then assembling this collection of schmucks may actually be next level execution.

For those unfamiliar, NSFW.

Mack Hollins is irreplaceable… fight me.

The Browns have a QB room consisting of a busted Watson, the ghost of Flacco, Ken-ya Pick-it (yes you can), an over drafted 3rd round rookie that they took because they didn’t trust the 5th round rookie that they then picked not to turn the organization into a circus. They also have the draft capital to select another QB next year when this blows up in their face. If you were signing a 1 year deal to show your skills and set you up for your next contract, is that the situation you’d want to do it in? I wouldn’t be so sure he didn’t take less.

Daaayyyyuuuummmmnnn. That kid is soooo grounded. I did a lot of stupid things in my "yute," many things that were a lot worse than a prank call, but nothing that ever cost my parents 6.25% of a year's salary. Gonna be slim pickens for Christmas and birthdays for a while for ol' Jax. He's lucky he didn't cost pops his job...

I was actually realizing after I responded that he did it a bunch of times...

It was the Minnesota game that Allen threw the pick in the end zone.

Soooo… is he being funny with the Moneyball reference… or does he really think Billy Beane is the name of the Bills GM?

...there is the little matter of "Everybody eats". It's not like he'd be a featured piece of the offense, just another mouth to feed.

He tried to do it in the past, as well, and then Miller blew his knee out...

That's not how Bills-Chiefs games are for the Bills. It's exactly how the last 2 have been for the Chiefs. It would be nice to see a game against a quality opponent, Chiefs or otherwise, with the Bills holding a 1 score lead and feel like the defense actually had a prayer of closing it out. I mean, recent history has basically demonstrated in a 1 score game that unless the Bills score as time expires or the opponent's TE drops a 2-pt conversion in the end zone they're likely to lose.

In your heart of hearts do you really think if the Bills HAD scored in either game that the Bills defense would have kept KC out of the end zone on the ensuing drive? It’s the Bills defense that keeps putting the offense in those situations of having to win the game at the last minute, not the other way around. There has not been a single defining defensive stop in any of those playoff games, meanwhile Allen has had multiple defining offensive drives wasted by their defensive ineptness. If Kincaid holds on to that ball I know in my heart it would have been that much harder to bear when the defense threw up on itself again the next series.
