BADOLBILZ

I loved his potential as a pass rusher coming out........blitzing from the MLB position and being an edge rusher are very different skill sets. But 4 seasons in........the die is probably cast for his career in Buffalo. I do expect his next team to try to move him to a pass rushing position.........Beane has had a few head scratchers but I don't see Edmunds getting $20M per year to be an unspectacular MLB.........it is devalued and more teams have a good starting QB than have two adequate pass rushers nowadays. But I will add this..........he does have that CJ Spiller aspect about him where all it takes is one team to overlook his deficiencies........and if a guy like Sean Payton can somehow not know that CJ Spiller is not cerebrally competent enough to excel in his version of the WCO despite the years of stupid football that he put on tape.......then anyone could fall into that trap with a more competent/consistent player like Edmunds.

Nobody notices when he's out. Partly because he's usually out there and just part of the background scenery of the Bills defense because he doesn't make plays...........and partly because when other players have had to step in for him they've done no worse.

So Lotulelei is tying up two blockers so that Edmunds can...........tie up another 2 blockers(?)..........so that Milano can be free to make all of the plays? Makes sense.

I agree completely.........it's almost like maybe his skillset might have been better developed at another position.🤔

Edmunds.......72 blitzes and 0 pressures in 2020. Klein.......first blitz of 2021....gets a pressure and near sack. At some point people gotta' realize that Edmunds deserves a great deal of the scrutiny he gets. Just too physically talented to not be making plays in this defense.

I'm starting to be a little concerned about the availability portion of the equation with Davis though. But that will happen when a player finishes their rookie season limping off the field and then starts year 2 that way as well.

Davis is a big key going forward.........they didn't invest a high pick in him and they haven't otherwise grabbed any of the dynamic young talent from recent drafts that teams have been loading up on. A few years ago the Bills WR corps would definitely be "elite"...........now its gotta' be considered a notch below that because of the lack of a 1B option. What they do have that some others do not is a QB who can make throws that allow them to make catches on routes that aren't actually "open" for most QB's. Davis has been the beneficiary of a few of those. Allen has really elevated the WR corps above the sum of their parts.

Everywhere, huh? Is it like that with Julio Jones and AJ Brown? Or Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf? Or if it's just receiving threats.......what about Tyreke and Kelce? Or with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown and Gronk? There are a lot of teams with 1A and 1B.......and sometimes even a 1C or 1D. The Bills have a nice WR corps but they are certainly in a different tier in terms of playmaking ability.

He was, after all, a long snapper at Wesleyan University.......was he not?

What does that actually say? Their WR corps has been mostly total shite since they broke up the explosive 2002 group when trading Peerless Price. The league has changed A LOT since then. It's about their positioning relative to the rest of the league. There are WR corps around the league with multiple superstar WR options AND also then depth to boot. The Bills aren't one of those. Stef Diggs is their best WR since Andre Reed...........but the Bills WR corps as a unit are Steffy Diggs and the Pipps. A star and a bunch of harmonized one-notes picked to run a Patriots style offense. Not much speed, very little RAC ability. Also they are perilously thin at TE and they have no receiving threat out of the backfield. IMO the best WR corps they have had since Goodell legislated hitting out of the passing game(2010) is the one they started the season with last year. Healthier, younger and more diverse because they had more speed.

Bills fans overrate the quality of this WR corps. Look around the league. More WR talent everywhere than there has ever been. The Bills are always a Stefon Diggs injury from being a mediocre or worse WR corps because they otherwise lack explosive qualities.

Agree that it can take years to develop pass rushers. That wasn't my point. You can't simply assume that young veterans who haven't produced in multiple seasons will get MUCH better at key positions. They would likely want to have proven insurance......someone they can trust make plays and be that 55%-60% guy in the instance of this DE rotation.

I read a couple articles a few days ago and my prevailing thought was maybe he lost his cool and just ditched her out in the middle of nowhere. Now it appears she is probably dead so he doesn't want to say anything rather than admit that he abandoned her and deal with the backlash.

They have actually gotten younger the past couple seasons..........McBeane's rosters have always been among the league's oldest. Whether they get any younger or not probably depends on the highly invested-in young players they have taking another step. If, for instance, AJ Epenesa keeps playing like he only deserves 40% of the snaps instead of 60% then they might need to keep (or buy) a veteran pass rusher etc......if he's a beast they can take a chance on a younger player to rotate with him.

What made me so inclined have little tolerance for self loathing types like yourself? I guess a good upbringing, great life-long friendships, a happy marriage, large family of great kids, perspective and experience gained from hard work, loyalty and generosity? The first step of getting out of your wallow is to want to. But in the meantime keep trying to get everyone else to change instead........good luck with that.

See what I mean.........just searching for random insults to dehumanize someone who just has no tolerance for your whining about a resilient and loyal fanbase. "Oh poor me........ I can't go to the playoff games because I gave up my season tickets in frustration when Sean McDermott was hired😢.....and also because somehow after growing up in WNY and after 27 years of having seasons I also don't have any friends who can help me out". Why do you think people would empathize with you for that? Just maybe not having tickets and friends or being able to deal with TSW after a loss is on you.

Follow my advice.........stop letting a negative result ruin your subsequent week (or offseason). You've literally laid your hyper-sensitivity bare on here SO many times over the years that there is no going back........we know. Subsequently pretending that your issue is that posters on TSW are just causing you boredom or wasting your time discussing perceived "negative" subjects is a thinly veiled attempt at shouting down things you do not want to hear. Trying to de-humanize me is a typical reaction from someone trying to avoid dealing with their own human issues. There are plenty of people with your emotional and/or substance problems.........if you don't want to do something about them that's fine but don't expect to not get called out for the behavior. That's nice of you to not call out @eball...........but he literally started a thread about it. Talk about a waste of time and trash to sift thru.........people are always going to have criticisms of the team when they lose anything but a meaningless game.........this thread is complaining for the sake of complaining.

And Everson Pereira now has 13 HR in 97 AB in A+ and Randy Vasquez has been having a great rise as a RHP of late(jumping from nowhere to Double A in one season).........glad they weren't included in that Gallo trade.

No there are a lot of people like you that are an emotional mess after a loss. If you learn how to turn the page quickly on losses then discussing things like the corrective actions the team could/should make isn't so painful...........you can try to explain it another way but it's not boredom that keeps you away it's not being able to process the defeat in a healthy manner. Result based fandom is why you regrettably gave up your season tickets..........it's not the way to "fan" if you don't intend to quit cold turkey.

Better play in A NUMBER of areas wins that game..............not just the OL. As I said that game was one of the greatest homefield advantages I've ever seen at that stadium...........it took A LOT of failure on the Bills end to wind up losing that game.

It looks like you've posted 11K times in the short time you've been here..........I might have had back and forth with you 3 times? So check your math. My point is that you are spamming the main board with hollow takes that are no better than "thumbs up/thumbs down" reaction level. That's what they are there for. Now if you up your bot-level post game maybe you can join a circle ***** the wall and make some friends you can also connect on Facebook with!.........but on the main board the objective should be advancing football discussion, not what you do.

Yeah the people who think that the failure was all about the pressure put on Allen are incorrect..........the Steelers accurately predicted how they could confuse Josh Allen. @HappyDays was arguing with me about it yesterday wrt a play where the safety totally abandoned Sanders and Allen never looked......he locked on the receivers they expected him to. The pressure was significant but as Cynthia Frelund on the Bills preseason broadcast mentioned recently.......Josh typically destroys teams when they pressure him.........the Steelers really had Daboll and Allen pegged.

They've won 5 championships in that span. And yes, the Yanks have won 16 titles in 29 years before. But to put those 5 in perspective.........in MLB only the Cardinals have won more than 5 WS titles in any 29 year stretch.......they did it 6 times from from 20's-40's.

The Yankees (82-64) clinched their 29th straight winning season tonight. The 1926-1964 Yanks hold the major north american sports record with 39 straight winning seasons. Montreal Canadiens hold the #2 all-time spot with 32 straight from 1952-1984.........Yanks should pass the Habs in 25' and have two streaks totaling 72 consecutive winning years in a 100 year span.

You don't realize this..........but your opinion is irrelevant on this forum.........because it is devoid of any substance. Just fishing for approval won't change that.
