Good luck!

He'll be taking statistics. so it's entirely possible that he will be participating in the Emory Fandom Report.

Doomed.

Wow. This is pretty effing cool.

I think this goes both ways, and is dominated by the extremes of both camps. Like most hot-button issues, if you reasonably argue agains't one extreme side, or the other, you are accused of either seeing things as "all roses, and unicorns," or accused of being a "closet Pats* fan." Or something like that. Be that as it may, the people on the extreme sides of these issues are most guilty of the straw-man argument, and it is both infuriating, and boring, at the same time.

To be fair, and disregarding any other past history of Joe's posts, the "^this guy ?" that he was referring to is one of the worst, intellectually dishonest trolls on this board.

Cool. To my mind, that makes Allen's accomplishment that much more impressive. I read elsewhere, recently, that Allen had the longest throw through the air, last season. 68.8 yards through the air, for a completion.

He was probably throwing a cellphone.

Personally, I hope he plays long enough for us to beat them twice in a season. And, I hope (although doubt) it will be this season.

He hasn't proven that?

And, what was the psi? If Brady decided to play for the Bills, I would throw up.

Interesting thing about that link: IF Brady* did, indeed, throw a ball at 61mph, the only QB ever drafted (at least since 2007) who could throw it faster at the combine was... Josh Allen. That 62mph was the fastest ever recorded at the combine. One thing I wonder about that metric, though: What are the circumstances for that stat? Is it literally, "see how fast you can throw it?" Or, are they running a drill, and measuring other things as well as speed of the ball? What is the context for the throw?

I think the votes represent the reality.

I agree with this. I assumed that barring some really great, and completely unlikely trade scenario, the foolishness of trading Foster was a given.

Wait... Brown, and Beasley might equal three WRs? Regardless, what's the point in looking at it like this? Every team, every year, might lose one, or more WRs for myriad reasons, be it production, injury, FA, or what have you. Be that as it may, the draft at WR is reportedly very deep next year.

I don't entirely agree with this. If the Bills carry six WRs (likely), then McKensie has a decent chance because of his special teams acumen alone. In fact, with Roberts probably seeing few offensive snaps as the primary kick returner, we could carry seven. But, that far down the depth chart, players have to play ST, and McKensie has proven that. He's also shown quite a bit of versatility, which fits well with Daboll's offense. All that being said, I suspect he doesn't make the 53, but I don't hold much certainty. I like this, although I would put Duke in front of Sills, and I wouldn't omit Bolden Jr.

I wonder if, with an upgraded O-line, DiMarco gets used in a blocking role for Shady the way Jerome Felton was supposed to do for us, like Felton did with Adian Peterson in Minnesota? Peterson made a lot of yards running behind Felton. Shady needs a good supporting cast to be effective (like he had in '16. '17). Perhaps we'll see DiMarco take more of that role? I also have this weird desire to see McCoy take a lateral from Gore, or visa versa, at some point during the season. I know that probably won't happen, but it'd be cool to see.

And also, since there’s almost no contact in training camp anymore and almost less in preseason games, the only way Shady gets cut is if he shows no mental or emotional interest in playing anymore. I highly doubt that’ll be the case, but I don’t know the man personally.

Now there’s a Billsy way of doing things!

Love McKenzie. Love his attitude, his energy. He had great burst. He was an instant upgrade when we brought him in last season. I really hope he makes the team because I am a fan. But, I suspect (and he probably does, too) that between Roberts and Beasley, his role might be diminished, and he is likely on the bubble. Some others on here have suggested that he is more suited to Daboll’s offense than some of the other bubble players he is competing with. We’ll see, I guess. But, I imagine that when it comes to the #4 and up, they are looking primarily at special teams ability, and growth potential, probably in that order.

That’s really the same as saying, “field position is useless in today’s NFL,” which is, of course, ludicrous.

We are so easy to troll in the offseason.

It has always struck me that PFF really only looks at numbers. This is valuable as a resource, but if one only looks at numbers, you will only gather a very incomplete picture. This ranking looks like what happens when you only consider numbers. But, football is so much more than that.

I remember doing rails in the ‘80s. Good times.

I suppose this may be true. If it is, I would give Perry the edge as he has been a special teams standout during his career— not just in kick returns, but in versatility. And, I would guess that when it came to offense, he would outperform Yeldon there, too.
