Hindsight is 20/20 but I'm sure we all kinda wish we would've gone after Paradis instead, given what has happened with Morse. Sure you could say: 'we had no way of knowing this would happen". But at the same time, Morse plays a position that is 1 of the more violent places to play. If someone has a history of concussions there, then theres a relatively decent sized risk that he could get more. The question had to be asked before we signed him: 'what if he gets another one?' I'd think Beane & company would've considered that. Did they just determine we'll deal with it IF it happens? Regardless its bad for Morse, bad for us & our Bills. Hopefully he pulls thru but if he doesnt, I hope this is a learning experience for Beane & he won't go after players with this particular injury history in the future, at such a crucial position on the most physical part of the field.

What if your QB threw 5 interceptions but it was in the 1st half of a regular season game?

As much as I'd like to add another player to our DLine, this trade isn't gonna happen. Clowney is a hold out & hasn't signed his $15.97 million franchise tender yet. And he can't sign an extension because the deadline for that was July 15th. Also players who havent signed their franchise tenders CAN"T BE DEALT. So even if we were willing to offer the Texans a lucrative offer & sign him to a big contract after the 2019 season, Clowney could refuse the trade before it even happened. Besides, would you really want to sign a player who is holding out, all while getting paid $16 million this year? I don't see him as a process guy & its just not gonna happen

Right there with ya

hope he's still having fun past the halfway point of the season

they mentioned him, or maybe the New York Upstate site did. Idk cuz i dont have ESPN+ But this is a quote from the article: The GM has also shown a knack for finding contributors after the draft as Levi Wallace and Robert Foster both stood out on the field for the Bills over their final season games last season.

I didn't want to buy it in the last thread about it & I still don't! But you can take that house & fumigate it & then when that doesn't work, burn it to the ground! ps thats just a joke for anyone seriously thinking about it. The internet is a crazy place these days

as far as pickups go for this time of year, this one doesn't seem that bad. Looks like scouts were positive on his potential leading into the draft & that was only a couple years ago. More depth is never a bad thing imo

There was this multi page thread about it here: Perhaps a mod can merge the threads if its deemed valuable

It is the Jets after all lol

I don't care what the reasoning is, no guy should ever think about cutting his thing off period & #2 no guy should ever want to see it. I don't care if you're Sherlock Holmes or not!

I can't even count how many times last year that I saw Shady attempt to run thru a hole, only for it to close just as fast with nowhere to run.... if there ever was a hole in the 1st place. Often the OLine was pushed back a yard or 2 back from the line of scrimmage by the time he even got the ball. Same thing would happen to Allen back there. Ball gets snapped & a defender almost beats the ball back to the QB lol. On a handful of carries where Shady did break one off for a big chunk of yards, it'd get called back on a penalty for holding or something else & he'd appear visibly frustrated & upset, as the rare positive play didn't even count. Nobody ever talks about that kinda stuff. Its just the same old narrative of Shady isnt the same. That's not to say I don't think he could've played better. I also think he gets inside his own head sometimes & gets effected by his emotions too much when frustrated, but he has high expectations for himself. He's a back that needs to get into a rhythm & get into the game to get a feel for the blocking & what the defense is doing. Our offense for half the season was pretty pathetic. The only rhythm in those games was the cycling in & out of our punter. In the games where Peterman & Anderson were starting, do you think defenses were afraid of being beat in the air? No they were cheating towards the run. So no, I don't worry about Shady losing a step at all tbh. I worry about the line because it all starts with them. If theyre effective this season Allen & Shady will be as well. But people zeroing in on Shady last year for his dropoff in production evidently didn't watch the same games I did, as its not as simple or black & white imo. Regardless, if he has a good season or not, I still think this is Shady's final season with the Bills.

Whats better than 1 injury prone TE? 2 injury prone TE's Seriously though... i'll pass

While its easy for us Bills fans to dump on Gronk for all the times he'd own our team, its not his fault we didnt draft him. I always thought the hate towards him was misplaced. We friggin drafted Torell Troupe 1 pick before Gronk went to NE. If anything we shouldve been more livid at our GM than him. Cant blame him for 1 second wanting to make us pay everytime he stepped on the field. Sure you can be pissed at the dirty hit on Tre & heck i was too, it was total bs. But i always thought it was a Billsy fan reaction to hate the guy. Dudes literally said a bunch of times how it was "cool" his hometown passed him twice in the draft & that he remembered it everytime he played us. Its a little different but thank the Gods Khalil Mack doesnt play in our division or he'd be crushing us too. Maybe throwing shade is like an emotional coping response people have to get thru the hard times idk. But anyways thanks for the donation Gronk. Dudes made donations to causes in WNY thruout his career, so its nice to see him still giving back. Its not just the money, its also the attention of him being there that counts.

Good for him, but glad its not our problem

Yeah this appears bogus. I'm no expert with finding who edited something on Wikipedia, but it appears this user with the name: Qwertyuiopasdfgfdsa edited the page with this info. From the random key pressings of the name, its really a lazy attempt at being a troll tbh. I mean if ur gonna plant fake news, at least make sure ur name doesnt look fake as well.

Yeah i loved watching Kellen Moore's games at The Blue. They'd play later at night so it'd be the best game on & man were those games exciting. The craziest schemes & plays. When they were rolling it was fun to watch. But the NFL? Dude couldnt even hack it as a backup. College production isn't always an indicator of future NFL success. Trying to make a correlation between the 2 is just having too much time on your hands haha.

In todays NFL you see teams valuing the RT position more than in years past. Surely more than in the era when Bruce & Reggie played. Offenses back then put their best tackle in the LT spot. If its the premiere position on the OLine today, it was even more so back then. When you factor in Bruce playing in a 3-4 & going against the best tackles week in & week out, it really is impressive seeing how dominant Bruce was. Its a close call & both are legendary players, but when you compare the 2, you absolutely need to compare their competition & schemes. Reggie had it better on both those fronts imo.

Tu’ikolovatu & Lotulelei, I like it, have fun with that Jim Nantz

The only thing to fear is... Fear itself

'Don't look now but theres a strange looking guy staring at us, just keep talking & walk this way with me'

It'd be nice if every city in the NFL got a chance to host the draft. Seems only fair & right imo. Every team could showcase the NFL to their cities but also those individual cities would be showcased to the larger NFL audience as well. Its something that makes so much sense, its obviously not the way its done. Better for cities to lobby to the NFL to host the event. I wonder how much money gets thrown around during this selection process. But yeah its cool Cleveland will get a shot to host it. Good for them. Lots of buzz circling around Cleveland these days.

Deane from his pre draft reports is an athletic TE who was pretty productive his senior year at Western Kentucky, 44 catches for 530 yards & 6 tds. Worth a shot imo. Here's another pre draft scouting report:

I kinda have to agree with you here. I wasnt thrilled with the Kroft signing in the 1st place & I definitely was against signing Murphy. We had/have the cap space to blow i suppose, but we've committed good money to players who so far have struggled to stay on the field. Kroft very well could come back in 3 months, but who's to say his foot is gonna be any stronger than it was before? If anything one could presume it'd be worse off, after breaking it again, (in a non contact environment no less). Really wish we went after someone else to begin with. But since we own Kroft for awhile, I wish him a speedy recovery & hope for the best like always lol. It'll be interesting to see if Beane does his due diligence & plans for the worst & targets Rudolph or another TE.

Because he was just released about a week ago
