Agreed. But he doesn’t “suck” and that poster is full of awful takes on a consistent basis.

It’s a bad take. Murray is a piece needed on a veteran Super Bowl contender. You can’t “hope” the young kids can protect Josh’s back if injury forces them into the game. That said, I loved the Evans run. Fantastic.

I am continually awestruck by how differently the ball comes out of any other QB’s hand, and how it comes out of Josh Allen’s hand. Other QBs look like they are throwing the ball in slow motion.

Do you consider it your personal responsibility to come up with awful takes?

Stay cool, PonyBoy.

FWIW, very pleased with the ST broadcast today on YTTV. Tried the multiview, which worked great. Also really like being able to look at live stats during the game. Two 👍🏻 from eball.

Was going to say same thing. I think Beane is going to grab a Pat after cuts or trade for one now.

Just an FYI, the game is on YouTube TV today as a preview of Sunday Ticket.

Nope. Next!

I really hate reading that. It's so important to get treatment quickly, but egos get in the way ("don't want to ruin the party"). Everyone knows I don't particularly care for Murph's broadcasting but I sure hope he has a good recovery.

Thanks for sharing the story and I'm so sorry for your loss. RIP, Shawn.

For a guy whose online handle includes the word “redemption” you’re kind of a dick.

I hear ya, but the guy revolutionized the QB position when he arrived. He made some terrible mistakes off the field but paid the price for it. I have no problem with him “staying relevant.”

My expectation is that McD will manufacture pressure if he can’t rely on the front four…but the Bills are very strong at DT and if Rousseau continues his progression along with Floyd and Epenesa, even without Von I think they’ll be ok to begin the season. Elam’s not expensive enough that he really “hurts” them this year, and there is still a chance he “gets it” at some point because we did see some very good play down the stretch last season. Last year’s draft is certainly a big question mark at this point, but it’s early…

I often question the overall mental acuity of visitors to this site. I think there are several givens here: 1 - you draft players in the 1st round you hope/expect to be above-average starters on your football team 2 - not all 1st round draft picks live up to this expectation (the “bust” rate — defined as non-Pro Bowl, <50 starts for career — is historically around 30%) 3 - if you “miss” on a 1st round draft pick, you have to fix it through lower round draft picks or FA History says that 3 out of 10 times you’re going to miss on your 1st round pick. The premise of this thread isn’t to give Beane a “break” for missing on Elam (if that is the case), but to ask a question about whether the team is in bad shape with three competent CB2 options.

Draft analysis is wrong so often I don’t know if I agree once you get past the first 10-15 selections in the 1st round…but I understand your point.

...so, I know a lot of folks are ready with the pitchforks for Beane if Elam doesn't win the CB2 job, and certainly that is a disappointing result given his draft status...but if Benford wins the job because he is a player who was severely under-drafted but is actually very good, and the Bills still have a guy like Elam (who has talent) for depth, is it really a problem?

And he didn't. He was hurt last year. Yes, I'd eagerly take January 2022 Gabe Davis.

Or Davis plays the way he has shown the entire camp.

Getting into regular season trolling mode, I see...

I'm really sorry, Shaw, but this feels like I'm speaking to a toddler. There are many qualities in an elite pass catcher: hands, speed, intelligence, route-running. Smoothness is a component of route-running and transition to after-the-catch. Guys who don't look like they are expending any effort and then -- BOOM -- they are wide open and you don't know what happened. You have seen this and know this, but for some reason you are stuck on the word "smooth."

I am reasonably certain this is a bot account using some corrupted form of AI.

He banged knees with another player. Told a reporter from The Buffalo News after practice he wasn’t concerned. I think this means he sits out for a week and then gets ready for the Jests.

Some people just like to watch the world burn…

Thank you.
