  1. You are trying too hard here. Statistically.........if you are a first round pick you are about 3x more likely to make a Pro Bowl in your career than if you were a second round pick.
  2. I think you are being tongue in cheek here.........but Firebaugh isn't a suburb and the school district is only 3% white.
  3. McKenzie will be a free agent again. I'm not sure how he'd hold up as a regular slot receiver. He got hurt about 5 different times in the NE game. He's fast but small and kinda' clumsy. Receiver is a real need for 2022.
  4. If Zimmer hadn't gotten injured their DT rotation could spare Star........but when Butler and Ankou have to come in together.........it's a passers paradise in the pocket........no push whatsoever.
  5. Should have done this to start with. Changing position groups entirely going into his $12M walk season is much too late. Would like to see him as an OLB with the Bills playing more 4-3 base next year though but that won't happen unless he gets hurt and someone steps in and plays more instinctively. He's just proved so far to be too slow of a blinker to play up to his physical potential in the middle..........needs to be where he can play fast.
  6. Black coffee is the way for me as well. I like sweet food and drink but can't drink sweetened coffee.
  7. Well your eyes are deceiving you then. Consider this: His receptions per game are about the same(5.5 in 2020 vs 5.4 in 2021). But he has produced a staggering 21 less first downs in just 1 less game played.........53 in 2020 vs 32 in 2021. Last year he was diving between tacklers for extra yards.........this year he's turtled up short numerous times leaving the Bills with a yard or two to convert. Especially since he injured his ribs. And he's down 3.4 yards per reception this year from a decent 11.8 to an anemic, RB-like 8.4 this season. That's woeful. Hopefully the week off has him feeling spry going into the playoffs because as McKenzie proved this week they should be getting more from that position.
  8. It gets colder at night........but in general, the wind decreases significantly in the evening in WNY and that's the only concern. There are certain jobs that cannot be done in high wind so companies typically schedule those for evenings or very early mornings in this area of the country. The Pats MNF game and the Ravens playoff game last year were weather/wind events that would have been bad at any time of the day.
  9. Yeah it's very misplaced in the NFL. But Boston is a baseball town and in baseball there is no salary cap and the Red Sox are one of the 3 wealthiest franchises so there is never any good reason for them to have a down season...........so it's easy for them to apply that logic to Belichick as well. In reality though this is just giving the fans what sells the day after a loss. Unlikely that the writers actually believe that Belichick hasn't done a good job with that team but that's not what sells papers to irate fans the Monday after a loss.
  10. Yeah he has had a lot of plays where he has hit the dirt quick after catches and relied on the officials to protect him........sometimes it's kept them behind the sticks. His 1st down conversions are down significantly compared to last year when he was running thru contact to get RAC.
  11. Beasley has made some important plays this year but he's not had a good year. The Bills throw the ball like crazy so the catch numbers are going to be there but the yards per catch is ghastly which is why his yards per game is down 20 yards. He takes a beating for a little guy so he might have hit a wall like high mileage RB. But hopefully his brief downtime allows him to get healthier and more explosive because 8.4 yards per catch at 75% completion rate is utterly anemic production per pass attempt for a WR of any kind.
  12. Generally accepted as the best HC in NFL history and has lead NE to 6 Super Bowl victories..........including one just 3 seasons ago..........but he deserves to be put under the microscope after dominating the NFL for 2 decades and winning 9 games this season and likely going to the playoffs with a rookie QB. That's how it goes in big markets.
  13. Niagra. Sully Boners. Checks out.
  14. I can understand a Bills player trying to use any media slight to try to motivate them...........they aren't being covered by the NY Post or Boston Globe........the Buffalo media is very easy on the team.....so the players really gotta' look for it. But the fans that STILL care and get exercised about what the long-exiled Jerry Sullivan has to say look like feeble minded idiots. Jerry still owns you guys.
  15. If those are your first and second round picks.........please no, Beane. That's the epitome of draftin' ferneed. Shaq and Ragland level draftin' ferneed.
  16. Gabe Davis has had ankle injuries that seem to have slowed him for parts of his first two seasons. He wasn't only on the sideline because of Sanders this year. I suspect Covid won't keep him out again next year........but his decision making in that regard cost him 1-2 games. He appears to have the skills to be an 80-100 catch 1200+ yard WR with a great QB like Josh Allen throwing him the ball.......but some players just never full launch because of availability issues and other life choices etc.
  17. Yeah but is it really too much to ask of him to make a play on a football when the tackle opportunity is so easy? How much is there to gain by hard-hugging a nearly full-stopped interchangeable Patriots WR when you can also use one of those 35" arms to reach around and knock the football loose in the process. It's all basics with Tremaine. It's like having an Escalade with no power seats, no cruise, no navi......
  18. At least get Duke on the TiCats next season so you Ontario Bills fans can watch him and US Bills fans have a plausible excuse to visit the ballet.
  19. You draft primarily for the long run.........the immediate needs should be addressed with pro personnel. I suspect they will pursue a stud interior OL and probably make another run at Gronk and then settle for a decent journeyman to back up Knox and then probably going back to the TE in round 3 or 4 (it's a good TE draft). WR should be a high priority in the draft, IMO. It's not an explosive group. Extremely low YAC. And with Beasley and Sanders likely gone(IMO).........and Gabe not yet putting together a full season of production........it's an immediate need as well.
  20. It was a good win and an especially great day for the QB. But they still aren't blocking well in the run game and the defense can't get to the QB and remains too vulnerable in run defense.........which allowed a pretty feeble Patriots offense to convert 5 4th downs and produce a couple epic long drives and 3 TD's against them. They are playing with more intensity sure..........but they aren't yet totally rounded into top form. But after watching them steamroll teams for the last two months of the regular season in 2020.......and then struggle to be close to the same offensive team in the playoffs last year..........I'm not going to get too concerned about what they aren't just yet. Just keep improving......get there.....and get hot.
  21. Daboll has made reference to this in the past. I think that changes this year. With the amount of great young QB talents as there are in the AFC the Bills can't really afford to do the Green Bay thing where they have drafted defense in round 1 almost every year for a decade.
  22. As disappointing as it was for the Bills to pass up on a QB in 2017..........and in doing so trade a great one to a team in-conference that had been narrowly beating us and knocking the Bills down a peg almost annually ever since Andy Reid arrived............Allen has really exceeded even my very high expectations for him as a regular season QB.
  23. On one hand you claim that I am expecting the impossible from Edmunds. On the other you say that a great player could make a difference there. The fact is that physically Edmunds IS that great player. Mentally, he is a journeyman special teamer/off-ball LB. I smh at all the people on this site who watch extraordinarily instinctive players like Hyde, Poyer and White perform at levels well above what their physical numbers indicate they should be able to. None of them would be out of place on an All Pro team in any year since they've been here. But at the same time Edmunds is CLEARLY less than the sum of his extraordinary physical attributes and people want to shout down that notion............while often at the same time saying he's not an extraordinary player. I can only say so many times that he's a top 10-12 ILB/MLB in the NFL.......I've never said he's bad he's just been very underwhelming for a guy with that much physical talent. If him not turning into a game changing, playmaking performer is OK with you then that's fine if you want to own that. Not me.
  24. The Jets had a big game at the Raiders late in 2002 and down 6 points with 4 seconds on the clock and his foot planted on the 50 yard line as he stepped up into a clean pocket..........he couldn't even attempt a hail mary pass for his lack of arm strength..........instead he floated a duck 40 yards down the middle of the field for an incompletion to sink the Jets. That play was an eye opener for a lot of NFL fans who had thought the intelligent and accurate Chad Pennington was Joe Montana 2.0.
