Never know what beane and the bills ACTUALLY knew or discovered. I imagine the player and agent likely sugar coated it. Unless they talked to the girl (no way anyone from nfl or bills did) or had access to her statements she gave to police or campus officials (I doubt it) then I think it’s highly probable t what the bills knew and today’s lawsuit with details are not the same. I bet there’s some surprise today at OBD / Beane with these details. just most likely scenario The good thing Beane did was sort of pin it on the league -“ well if it was an issue then the nfl wouldn’t have him at the combine or at the draft.” Good move

They’re trying to break it all down and not pay old ppl big money contracts. Yet simultaneously “trying” to sign to plug holes to “look” good to the fan base they really should have drafted A TE this year knowing they were t gonna get a deal done w Jonnu

I find this interesting actually beanes an emotional dude. It is what it is. Starting to come through more and more as time goes on. In the beginning it’s endearing and welcomed change of vigor but with each passing year of not getting it done (beating chiefs or getting to a Super Bowl) he’s starting to be too emotional and that’s my biggest gripe with this org. They’re too culture centrric. Everybody believes. And loves each other. It affects their draft picks and priorities in offseason. And it affects their contracts.

But history tells us that no coach /qb combo this long together will win a Super Bowl. So we’re waiting for improbability in my view. That’s why I was for moving on from him after :13 seconds

Is Mike Tolbert gonna be brought out of retirement to give us special teams depth?!?!. F5

The first duffel bag of deflated balls any team can find

Are we going to bring back josh Norman !? Let’s just keep this thang going

Gotta free up space I guess for trey Hendrickson

He is pretty comparable to Gibbs. Go watch the lions game again. Tell me who’d you rather have. Anyone’s “replaceable.” We can put Devin Singletary and Zach moss back there again if you want. you then contradict yourself by saying “any top RB” is dime a dozen. What? you just don’t think he’s worth 15M got it. That fine. Up until this year the power question was valid. But this year James cook really put that to bed. Honestly sick of the gaslighting of people to try and justify their $ argument. Dude runs thru KC defense in AFC Championship game. And again go back to lions game - I believe his first td run - he runs thru 5 dudes at the goal line with awesome contact balance he’s our most explosive offensive weapon outside of Josh. I don’t where I fall on the $ number. But if Shakir , Benford , Groot got paid who are all solid players…. James cook needs to be paid … it’s that simple.

For sure. Why I really really am jaded and cringe when we draft senior bowl , 5-6 year college players, that didn’t dominate in the acc. cough cough Dewayne Carter cough cough

Weird everyone @GunnerBill keeps telling me Ladd is a slot / couldn’t be drafted by the bills/ not outside / not vertical threat. Nonsense. Beane whiffed. Gets so caught up on role / position type / fit/ culture. Just draft BPA man. Ladd was a polished , professional NFL wr with good ras and good production at the best school/ conf in the country instead we went with a completely rough basketball player , who looks awkward and quite frankly isn’t that great at contested catches

They have him go get DBs downfield. Hes plenty good enough to be effective. They never have him take on DEs…. we didn’t draft him to block. It doesn’t factor into my decision as to whether he’s a good player.

steph curry pulled his hamstring in the playoffs and got bounced by minnesota. literally last round

Balderdash! I will not allow it!

Ehh - they shed boogie pretty quick

Oh I’m with you. Hamlin is a ceiling backup player. Rapp is ok. But also a journeyman. I don’t think he’s great in pass game. He made a lot of hustle long chase down td saving plays last year. Which I’m sure McD splooges over. our safeties were metrically bottom 2-3 unit in league . Also worst 3rd down D. And I’m sure worse at 3rd and long. The safeties have a big part in that I want bishop and the rookie from Ohio st starting next year

Cole bishop can’t beat out Forrest? He better !

Poles GM is from canandaigua

Each episode deserves its own live thread

Will there be a piece on Jim overdorff. The man the myth the legend. IS he EVEN REAL?

Are we / TBD doing a live thread for each episode? Like a game? (We def should)

I don’t know about that. Edmund’s is too tall and thin base. He gets run over and run on too much for my liking. But as a roaming space occupying pass defender he was OK/good. He really didn’t show up against good teams - Mahommes and Kelce abused him

Great post. It’s why Jeremy and Wgr are correct. Beane and the org don’t value WR to the same degree
