Cox was and is a hard core jerk. He literally threatened to blow up the stadium. He should have banned from traveling to Buffalo. Cox brought it on himself. You expected the fans to be cordial? He deserved to be roasted by the fans he that he threatened with mass murder and terrorism.

Horrible. That is the worst signing of Beane's tenure. And probably the worst since Marv overpaid for those linemen back in 2007. I believe there is still a restraining order on Cox in OP, that will not allow him with in 5 miles of the stadium. If, god forbid, he makes the team and his Dad comes to any games, Cox Sr. should be arrested and deported back to Miami.

Was hoping for Bryce Hall there. Of the WRs left in the draft would’ve shot for Tyler Johnson in the 5th

He was a 3 year starter at Iowa. He was consistent. 2018 Sophomore year stats were comparable to his 2019.

Safe pick. I like it. Dobbins on that Baltimore O will be scary

Edward-Helaire. Reminds me of Thurman Thomas in style and as a multi-purpose back. He will be a very god pro RB. Would also be happy w AJ Dillon in 3rd or 4th round

Hope you’re right. I’m a big fan of Phillips, so it’s meant as a compliment

That’s a good signing. Very solid player comparable to Phillips. Good 2 year deal at fair value

I tend to agree. For comparison, Does anyone know how much AZ is paying Phillips?

Hughes didn’t play in Carolina. So yes he’s in trouble

You realize that both trades happened today? How do you not compare them? The better receiver went for way less compensation, especially when you factor that moving Johnson offsets part of Hopkins pay. Yes it does make the Texans look worse than then Bills. And I’m to have Diggs on the team.

I like Diggs and contract is reasonable. But.., When you compare that to the Hopkins deal it makes me the Bills & Texans look really bad, and Cards & Vikes look really good. Bills & Texans would’ve both been better off trading w each other.

For the 1st half

A trade-up would surprise me, and I think there is a pretty good chance we trade down. With the depth at WR and at least a couple very good DE's (ex. Epensa) who could be available late 1st round, there could be enough good players still on the board at positions of need where Beane will risk trading down. Although I think 5 - 6 spots is the max they would be willing to move back.

I have lived in Miami, and watched a ton of Marino games and many in person. He was an amazingly talented passer, but not a great QB if your goal is to win the game. A very over rated player. There are several QBs from the 80's - 90's that I would choose over Marino.

Exactly. Like Marino back in the day. Excellent Passer. But not the QB you want on your team in the playoffs. As for the WR debate. Golliday over Diggs. For the same reasons you take a winning QB over cousins

Do we really need a new Flutie vs Johnson thread. And on Super Bowl eve?

How long ago did you acquire your tickets? Were you able to get them at face value?

Agree w everything above. Although I think Yeldon wasn’t utilized properly. But if he’s gonna be inactive every week would rather bring in a young guy with potentially more upside

What did he say about Allen?

They won Because they cheated in 2018. With basically the same roster in 2019 they did not make the playoffs

I was very upset after Saturday and decided to avoid all the post-mortem coverage for my mental health and take a Buffalo Bills break. But I couldn’t even make it 48 hours. After listening to the audio of Beane, it’s the first time I started to feel a little better since the meltdown on Saturday. He was accountable, thoughtful, and passionate yet measured. Having smart and strategic management at the top gives confidence that the team is in good shape going forward.

That missed block is on Morse too. Both Knox and Morse forgot to block anyone. On the first QB Sweep. Morse blocked the LB and Knox made a block further downfield.

Excellent post. good comments by you and Joe B. Too bad that it's all true. So many issues in that game
