SiriusXM's Kirwan and Miller (some like them, some don't) evaluated all teams' WR "rooms" over the last week or so, and they graded the Bills overall WR corps at 17 pts out of 20. It was obviously one of the highest grades in the league. I don't think everyone agrees with you on the depth angle. Crowder is a legitimate NFL receiver. McKenzie has shown his worth. Shakir is viewed as a steal of the draft. I think they'll be fine...and I agree with you regarding Austin.

That's an interesting thought. Internally, Goodell & Co. may be fuming over what the Browns did in signing the miscreant Watson to that mega-deal and don't want to give them an "easy" out (i.e., Mayfield). Not saying that's what is happening, but it isn't a crazy notion.

I agree that I can’t see a path to Baker ever suiting up in a Browns uniform again. That bridge has been burned beyond recognition.

It is Watson’s sheer arrogance that sickens me. If one or two women file suit against you or make complaints, you say what he’s been saying. But 26, with multiple other unfiled complaints? Umm, dude, you are the problem, not them. It’s not true that he can’t “apologize” because the suits are pending. He could certainly apologize for not realizing that his “completely legitimate preferences” (in his mind, not mine) were offensive to some. But that’s not how people are coached to act these days. I won’t get political, but this is the era of “deny, deny, deny” and then try to actually change the definition of what “truth” is. I hope Watson never sees the field again.

I, for one, don't care whether he's practicing or not. Dude is a pro's pro who knows the defense like the back of his hand. If the smart thing to do is sit out the practices and just be in the meetings while the contract gets worked out, it's no skin off my teeth.

Yikes. Best wishes to Kim and the family.

Per the tweet-machine.

Apologies if the answer to this question is buried somewhere within the thread...when are we to expect some renderings of the new digs?

So, I had to share this bit of news with my Bills fan brethren…we had a couple over for dinner on Sunday; really good friends we’ve known for over 15 years. The guy does some college sports broadcasting for the Big 10 network and ESPN. I tell him my wife and I bought tickets and are going out to LA for the opener. He says, “a company I do some work with has a suite at SoFi; let me reach out to them and see what’s up for that game.” Yesterday afternoon, I get cc’d on an email from my buddy to his assistant confirming two tickets in their suite for the game. Needless to say, we’re f***ing pumped!

Just amazing. He really can do things I’ve never seen a QB do before. If he ever actually has a good OL…

Maybe so, but only in the moment the pick occurs. Even a year later nobody is saying “bottom half of the first round pick Tre White.” He’s a first rounder.

Same Jet sources telling you how great they’d be three years ago?

Hodgins is a poster child for the NFL truism “the biggest part of ability is availability.” Dude just can’t keep himself in the mix. It’s a shame, really.

I don’t understand some players. What’s Tyreek’s angle here? He can pump up Tua without throwing shade at Mahomes. Just doesn’t make sense. I’m not around these guys, obviously, and we know how crazy their egos are, but Tyreek doesn’t seem like a very good person in general. He’s lucky he was blessed with that talent for catching a ball and running fast.

That would be pretty much the ONLY thing that makes sense.

That makes two of us.

No, I totally get that. They have to move on. My only point is that his comments were not genuine…i.e., he was trying too hard to tell everyone he doesn’t care about that any more...so much so that (at least to me) it’s obvious it still bugs him. Does he think about it every day? Of course not, he has a new job to do. Just my opinion. I played sports enough to understand the “moving on” part of it.

We’re talking around each other. Farwell seems like a decent dude and I hoped he learned from his mistake and will make sure that never again is the freaking kicker not told what the play is. Him saying he “doesn’t think about it at all” is clearly a lie.

@GunnerBill I think it’s pretty clear Farwell effed up and McD allowed him to save face. I know some think it was McD’s call to kick it through the end zone but we’d have heard something from somebody if Farwell left because he was “upset” at McD overruling him. Farwell doesn’t want to talk about this because he’s embarrassed it happened and he was responsible. Honestly.

I like SeatGeek. Just make sure you select the “show prices with fees” filter so you aren’t surprised at checkout later.

I’ve been beating this drum since it was announced. Beach chairs is the most important coaching hire we’ve made in a while. All of you “worriers” about the OL are about to see that Bobby Johnson was a joke.

Major red flag when people use the “to be honest” verbal crutch repeatedly. In my experience it’s typically a sign they are anything but.

Excerpt from Buffalo News article about Farwell’s PC yesterday: ———— Farwell, who took over as Jaguars special teams coordinator 17 days after the Bills' playoff loss, was asked if he was haunted by the end of the game and what he might have done differently. "I get that question all the time," Farwell smiled. "To be perfectly honest with you, it’s in the past. I don’t worry about that. Honestly, my answer to that is that’s a question for the Buffalo Bills and Sean McDermott. It’s in the past. I don’t deal with that, to be honest with you. "That's part of the way I live my life. It’s going forward, and what we’re doing here. I’m loving the guys I work with here. I got a great appreciation for the players there. I had fantastic players, still good friends of mine that I talk to all the time. But down here, I’m trying to build something down here special. That’s what it's about for me. I move on. I honestly don’t think twice about it." ————- Umm, Heath, I “honestly” don’t believe.you. Dolt.

This is either one of the worst attempts at satire I’ve ever read, or I don’t know what to say.

LOL that tweet is hilarious. Translation: I just got shitcanned but I'm trying to make it look like it was my idea!
