legit preseason news

I'm sorry! I was trying to agree with you, and then expand on the thoughts you posted. Should have been clearer on that my bad for the confusion

It's lottery. if you expect more 1 - 7 rounders to wash out, with the percentage going up each round, you're probably not far off. For example this is the 1st round in 2021 1. Lawrence - 2nd contract 2. Wilson - bust 3. Lance - bust 4. Pitts - didn't get an extension yet 5. Chase - HOF 6. Waddle - 2nd contract 7. Sewell - HOF 8. Horn - 2nd contract 9. Surtain - HOF 10. DeVonta Smith - 2nd contract 11. Fields - eh 12. Micah - HOF 13. Slater - 2nd contract 14. Vera-Tucker - 2nd contract 15. Mac Jones - bust 16. Zavien Collins - didn't get a legit 1st round extension, just a 2 year 14M 17. Alex LEatherwood - bust 18. Jaelen Phillips - 2nd contract 19. Jamin Davis - out of football right now 20. Kadarius Toney - bust 21. Kwity Paye - good player, still waitng his contract extension 22. Caleb Farley - bust 23. Christian Darrisaw - 2nd contract 24. Nahee Harris - semi bust 25. Travis Etienne - about to lose his job as a starter 26. Greg Newsom - flirting with turning into a journeyman, didn't earn 2nd round contract yet 27. Bateman - 2nd conract 28. Payton Turney - Bust 29. Eric Stokes - Bust 30. Groot - 2nd contract 31. Odafe Oweh - Decent, didn't earn 2nd contract yet 32. Joe Tryon - Bust So 12% got to elite 31% got to a 2nd contract 31% busted. 25% are still in TBD Top 10 : 30% HOF trajectory, 40% solid, 20% bust, 10% TBD 11 - 20 : 10% HOF, 30% solid, 40% bust, 20% TBD 21 - 32 : 0% HOF, 25% solid, 33% bust, 42% TBD

Explain how traiding for Ras Douglas is "wasted"? And you realize the vast majority of the NFL draft is "wasted" right? There's only about 6-7 years worth of Draft picks avaialble to on active rosters in the NFL

At this point I think their two best assets are Andy Reid and Spagnulo. Elite schemers who are maximizing the crap out of that roster

Kelce is on the downside of his career, Rice is coming off an ACL and who knows how long his suspension will be, Hollywood Brown is good at best

Abdul Carter didn't workout at all at the combine or his pro day (for a shoulder injury that he'd played through in the playoffs and was likely healed), and I'm not even sure he did private workouts. This is all insane

The solution to this is to pretend preseason football doesn’t exist. I started doing that a few years and let me tell ya I’ve been over the moon happy with that decision

Oh I got you. Yes I’m all for it

I’m curious why you think that’s an appropriate comparison? Drafting a HOF player is like 80% luck.

Buffalo would have to trade a big contract such as Olivers and get them to take on a contract like Curtis Samuel’s with more draft picks, and then do the equivalent of the NBA’s sign and trade so you extend him out so you only get with a 10M - 15M cap hit this season. it is absolutely do-able He basically got the value you’d hope for out of the 16th and 9th picks

I said this earlier but there’s not a player other than Josh Allen or draft pick I would give up to get Micah into Buffalo. He is a HOF edge with like 6 - 8 years of prime left He’s multiple times better pass rusher than any edge on the roster. we’ve spent 4 years complaining about not getting pressure on Mahomes in the post season and we have people saying Micah doesn’t much value?

I couldn’t even tell you the best offensive skill player the chiefs had when they beat Philly outside of Kelce. Roster talent on offense isn’t why the chiefs have kept two absolutely more talented franchises from getting to the SB in Buffalo and Baltimore. Its having an elite defense, getting just enough more out of the Reid/Mahomes combo and pure ***** luck

And here’s the thing? You want to pay Josh Allen $55M? Yea you damn well better be sacrificing weapons off the cap

At one point the bills surrounded Allen with an elite WR, an extended TE, a 1st round TE, a pro bowl caliber Tackle, high priced interior talent, and an excellent slot player. The bills may have never had Marvin Harrison but I’m really getting tired of this meme. Without Josh Allen the bills have an elite OLine, high quality TE play, and legit quality OC, a potential high end outside WR, an elite slot, and solid WR depth. Replace Allen with Baker Mayfield and this team makes the playoffs. With or without James Cook. Heck you could probably replace him with Sam Darnold or Bryce Young this team makes the playoffs

Exactly where he should be. Well done by all sides

Where’s the option for neither is a failure and that things like the drought are a failure. talk about a false choice

That’s valid

No team is going to take that contract. Even the greats fumble on occasion and I think Beane fumbled here

I’d give up literally anything other than Josh Allen to have him for the next 8-10 years

I think there’s a HULU bundle out there that includes MAX

It is not so simple to suggest the Bills are great in the regular season and bad in the playoffs. --- Sometimes I really dislike our fanbase

Said this after he was drafted, but normally this isn't a kid who should be playing much in his rookie year. He brings speed and some instincts in both zone and man, but he really needs to upgrade his functional strength, and if he can spend his rookie year being in some sub packages and relief snaps, while doing the off field work in season and off season, I'd consider that a blessing in disguise.

I still remember the old Peyton Manning line. Someone asked a coach there why their #2 never got reps during the week. And the answer was "Without Peyton we're *****, and we don't practice *****". Same here. If Josh goes down for any length that goes past like 6-7 weeks, then just go for that top 5 pick. So long as the Bills keep shopping from the refuse pile, they're telling me that any lengthy for Josh = tank

Don’t know much but I do know Wilikins is one of the funniest miked up guys in the league
