She’s easy on the eyes.

Hopefully they script Hamlin to win a SB.

Elam seems dumb and immature to me compared to a typical McBeane era Bills player? Anyone else get that vibe from him? Florida thing?

It’s a trade off. Something will be lost as a HC with the time spent as DC. Will it be enough to negatively affect the season? That’s the real question.

I may be wrong but I think there are a few reasons. 1. Our success gives us late round draft picks so we miss out on the best tackles. 2. Defense first mindset leads to defense draft picks in the first round. 3. Trading Teller was Beane’s biggest blunder and he’ll tell you that himself. 4. Dawkins got a bad case of Covid which has affected his prime. 5. We generally focus on one year veteran rentals on the Oline and put our money elsewhere. 6. Morse was a great FA pickup. Spencer Brown has been a so-so pick. 7. Big swing and miss on Cody Ford. 8. Allen being Allen makes us undervalue Oline. Cognitive bias. In my opinion trading Teller and screwing up the Cody Ford pick is why we are still here today. Those two things going our way and Dawkins not getting a bad case of Covid and we would’ve had an elite Oline for a few years now.

It is a culture move. I think Frazier was too soft and passive and McDermott got sick of it. “I’ll show you how to run this damn ship, I used to be a DC once”. It’s ballsy, confident, and he’s leading by example. “Even I do whatever it takes, so you better too.” Lead from the front. The concern is that it’s impossible to be a HC/CEO at a high level when you’re busy running multiple departments. Being a DC will take away from being a sharp HC. The better his DC assistants are this year, the smoother 2023 will go. But I full anticipate, and McDermott likely does too, that this is a one year thing. We get a good DC next year. Allen is 100% Jordan in 88. It’s not about him. It’s about the supporting cast. You see, Allen has IT. You take away Zay Jones and given him Stefan Diggs and he gives you the #1 receiver in the league. What that means is that if you give him a great Oline, you will see the best pocket passer since Rodgers. You give him an elite TE and elite WR2 and elite RB and you will get the greatest show on turf. Allen will adjust his game based on whatever you give him. His mind is tuned to one goal, and that is winning. And like Tom Hanks stranded on an island, he will use whatever he has to win. Hot take. If Von returns to form and stays healthy all year, we win the SB. Reason? We need 1 guy on defense to have the championship mindset of Diggs and Allen.

Davis and Kincaid performing at a high level would be a massive improvement offensively over last year. My sense is that there will be less bombs from Allen this year and more pocket passing short to intermediate routes with a running game. With a better oline we will hopefully see less scrambling from Allen also.

I hope these fans don’t jump off bridges when they have a bad day in their personal life. It’s like their minds are incapable of seeing any sort of big picture. They don’t understand cycles and flows of things. Just zero wisdom of life, or even football for that matter.

Best NFL board on the internet, right?

Knox will also be a threat when he’s back.

Their brains just can’t handle multiple variables. Part of the flattening they see are the struggles last year during our crazy adversities. Their emotions pulled the rug out from underneath after the Bengals game and they all collectively “forgot” the insane unnatural things the team had to deal with all year. Not to mention the “no excuses” mentality common with real life losers.

I’d give them the next preseason game to get it sorted out. If it’s 2 weeks in a row then I agree it is concerning. But better to deal with this stuff in the preseason. Let McD run snap drills with the Oline all week until they won’t screw up again. It could’ve been 21-14 at half if not for all those false starts.

Shakir is the disflavor of the month.

Hey man! What did I ever do to you???

Downside of dating famous women. Josh will find somebody else if it’s a problem.

If the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit.

Lots of new faces for the Jets on week 1. They can easily be off their game and we could beat them easier than expected. I think they’ll be very strong as the season progresses.

It’s gonna be an intense division fight. Rodgers and Dalvin Cook on an already strong defensive team.

Imagine we make it to Super Bowl media week. The whole country would be rooting for us. The “Damar Hamlin” Super Bowl. The other NFL fan bases would scream it was rigged haha.

Looks like a smoother and stronger Herbert. Once he builds acceleration he’s scary to tackle on the run. if he puts it all together he’ll be a problem. If.

I think Oliver, Rousseau, and AJ will look like stars again once Miller is back.

Cook looked good. Shakir looked nice until the bad drop. Anybody else look like they could make the leap to stardom this year?

Just give OJ a 2nd one instead.

A lot of fans get VERY upset around this topic. Better to leave it alone. Truth be damned.

I have 5 pages of ignored users. It’s not this board.
