C’mon Doc, be nice. You’re an excellent poster, but Ethan although sometimes prickly, also gives a darn about the Bills. I kind of like the deep dive. It tells me it’s not that easy to break in right away for a mid round pick, especially on a very talented team. I did laugh though.

I had no time for press conferences today. Any word on Hairston?

You mean Chhekitowaga down dare. Outside of joking, the articles on the main page seems interesting in the way he kicks, so the normal stats on hang time, avg. distance punting, etc. may not apply. I’m in a we’ll see mode with the guy. We don’t have a lot of choices right now mid season.

K, I don’t see the Bills moving on from Knox as McD really likes these heavy sets. Based on the opponent, we may some games where there is a ton of 13 personnel, and 12. We basically can bully some opponents. Hawes is promising and cheap. Knox may need to take a reduction in his contract after the year is over, but doesn’t necessarily mean they cut him. Just one guy’s opinion. I don’t know anything more than the rest of you. I have learned quite a bit over the years listening avidly to Movin the Chains on Sirius. In the off season they call it the R’s. Reduce, Release, or Restructure. It’s basically what GM’s and Capologists do each off season. Those guys, Pat Kirwan, a former coach and front office guy along with Jim Miller, a long running second string QB for several teams have really nice insights into how football people think. I know Pat and Cower have written several books in “First Take Your Eyes off the Ball”, and teaches people who love football how to break down games, etc. Ive read it and learned a lot. I’m a guy who played and coached football and learn a lot from them.

I was puzzled as well as AJ Brown is on the Eagles and this is a Ravens thread. Now as far as the Ravens, I feel compassion for their team and fans. These are some critical serious injuries. I don’t see them as chokers, just any team can only tolerate so many critical injuries to their stars. This guy is an excellent LT. I don’t have time to write down all the critical injuries to their starters, but just type in Baltimore ravens injuries update, and google will take you to an ESPN option. Most fan bases can be myopic in looking how bad it is for their team, but if you start looking around the league, some years it’s worse for certain teams than not. Look what happened to Detroit last year.

Oh when the Aints, come Martin in, yadayada yada. I simply wore my Fredex jersey as good things happen when I wear 22. I love that guy. The funny thing is my dear friend wanted to take myself and now ex wife out to dinner with investing in his firm. She said, he could care less as he goes out to dinners with Doctors, etc. all the time. What do I get him? Get him an authentic Fred Jackson jersey. He’ll never buy that for himself. The owners did and has never failed me. I have newer jerseys, but when I wear Fredex, we always find a way to win.

Agreed on both of these points. A number of people keep wanting a WR, etc. but one of our greatest strengths is our line. They keep Josh clean, and blow open big holes for Cook and company. I love how we are playing smash mouth football with Gilliam getting more starts this year, than any before. We are also effectively using 13 personnel. It like we are the 2019 Baltimore Ravens reincarnated. Id much rather draft safet(Ives) and yes, one WR who can separate.

Kamara was great in his day, but Cook has more of a future in the NFL. He proved me wrong in three games as I was one to want to let him play out his contract, and then franchise at him. That was a mistake. This contract is paying dividends.

When I think of the genesis thread, it reminds me of this….. Normally, 4merper has decent takes, but luck has no bearing on turnover battles, but coaching does have something to do with it. McD sweats the small stuff and it’s the reason we keep wining game after game, because it’s coached into them. 4merper, maybe some of the guys are being hard on you, which is why I tried to lighten things up with a joke. The answer to your real question is we should want to win the turnover battle as long as possible as it shortens the field which is why we won 13 games last year, and sat the starters in a meaningless finale with the patriots. I’m confident we can make 7-0 with the Saints, Cheats, Falcons, and the Panthers. The bye is coming at a good time to maybe get Hairston by the Chiefs, as well as Oliver, Milano, and these games will give Strong a little more playing time, as we can load managers Tre.

I see this warranting a conversation from Beane to Gardner Johnson and his agent. He’d have to know what he’d be signing up for in how McD coaches his safeties.

Happy for him.

It’s just money grab. The minority owner wins as when they sell, they definitely make a profit. The principle meaning Kraft in this case gets cash to infuse into his team for free. They have no power or influence. They just shake hands and look important, but are just simple investors for a small win. I could care less for the Bills or anyone else.

Then again, this isn’t Madden, but I’d love to have one of those WRs. That’s why the 2026 draft thread I mentioned a need on defense, Safety, and Offense, WR. It’s plausible Bosa’s ability to stay healthy holds as well have Hoecht, and Ogunjobi by weeks 8 or 9. Based on what we have as strengths, I agree with pushing around other teams. 13 personnel, creating interior cut back lanes for Cook, etc. using Moore for trick plays, and Palmer is just getting started.

Josh won’t want to blow his streak, so I can see he starts, runs up 28-3, and then hand the ball off to Mitch, finishing 39-10, Bills.

I agree with these rankings minus Detroit to me would be #5, not the Chiefs.

I’ve seen different analytics spotting them at #3. I’d agree. The interior is actually the strongest of the five. I’m not banging on the tackles, just the lanes the interior guys have been excellent. BTW- I love Schnowman and Brown, the enforcer. No one is more fiercely protective of Josh than Brown.

I thought the same. He has the bye if ready to get ready to play, and he may get spot duty for the Panthers as a tune up. Probably very limited in amt of plays.

I wasn’t going to say it to knuckles, but you’re right. I’m sure an honest mistake. Knuckles, you are right, 18 was a special class as I’m guessing that was your intent.

Not worth arguing about. Brady is giving McD what he needed and protecting his defense. The 13 personnel is abusing other defenses. Not sure why anyone has a problem with being a bully. We are pushing people around.

I can see this being an expansion for the most populous ans wealthy cities in Canada. I seriously doubt any merger. I have no problem with a 4 team expansion into Canada as they are so close to the US. A lot easier than Europe expansion, but see that as well. Can’t you see a four Canada expansion, and a four European expansion into say GB, Germany as they love the NFL, and maybe Spain. More money for the NFL, And they are global business trying to expand. From a business sense it makes a lot of sense. I don’t think about what we had 30 years ago, mor what is likely.

Agreed. They aren’t the best, but dam good. I didn’t put the n on dam so the Hoover thing, not the curse word . I respect the rules.

Al, I don’t mind taking a peak at a 26 draft with the caveat that so many things change in 8 months. For me it’s a safety on defense, and a WR on offense. I believe Beane knows what he has in a top O Line so why mess that up? There’s always a way to restructure some people to get McGovern a decent salary or heavier signing bonus to keep the salary lower. The player doesn’t care as long as the $ is competitive.

To me, we’ll beat the Aints in our sleep, so the IR guys will be eligible, and the suspended guys will be eligible after the bye. The Panthers will be a tune up for Hoecht, and Ogunjobi. I’m looking forward to seeing Hairston with that blazing speed get up to speed in the Cheats game. So to the original question, we’ll see how the team comes together beginning with the Chiefs. I’m optimistic barring more injuries.

I’m just watching the recap of last night’s game as admittedly fell asleep during the game. Wow, what a game. As far as the Chiefs/Ravens, I look at it as one will have three losses so always a good thing. I have a feeling the Ravens will win. They are just too talented and the Chiefs are starting to look old.

James is one for the undiscovered country. I enjoyed it too.
