  1. Josh was a raw talent.  The team ownership and management scouted Josh personally, including a flight to a meeting in Wyoming to interview him.  They bought the character of the man, not his state of polish for the pro game.  They judged he was going to make it big because of his character.  So, give not only Bean and McD credit for the selection, the Pegs were also involved and shared the judgement.  Best decision Bean has made by far, and perhaps the best he will ever make.

    From what I understand with Cousins is he wanted to be traded but they refused.

    Yeh, Penex may yet wash out.

    Winston threw 30 INTs the last time he was a full time starter.

     

    Maybe that flies in 1980, but when anything over 15 is considered a lot these days, being double that just ain't going to ever work.

     

    Would be like a guy in 1980 throwing 50 INTs.

    Wow, worse than Fitz

  3. I am a snowbird Buffalo local who is a uttv subscriber.  I don't buy ticket when up north, but when I get south I look at it.  Last year, the second half of the season was available half price.  I don't recall any limitations on streaming devices though.  And, I made sure to unsubscribe after the season so they didn't auto renew me for 25.  Might do the same this year, but, will assess the schedule and how many Bills parties we might attend and not need the ticket at all.  Folks don't really like 

    Thursday or Sunday night parties we have learned.  A number have to work the next day.

  4. The MNF Joe Ferguson/Ahmed Rashad beat of the Raiders, (70's) Bills tried to give it away in the last two minutes...giving up a TD return of a fumble after it was won.  But, Fergy and Rashad went and got another TD.  The guy sitting next to me left after the Bills blew it, but I stayed for the fantastic comeback.   And, the next home game, I got to ask the guy next to me if he had heard what happened after he left the prior week!😁

    Yes there is variance per game of course, but we did run 5 WRs deep. If you select each players name individually it gives you their season long snap percentage. You can do that with the defensive players as well and will see the same thing.

    I remember years where the receivers were so banged up we were playing guys off the street at wr.  Gailey years, and further back.  Better have wr depth or you can loose the season.

  6. Your prediction is ok, lots of plausible arguments to make it reasonable.   I note no consideration for the in stadium fans however, and that is also real.  My view is that the NFL is a TV studio sport now where the studios are also called stadiums.  The fans don't matter as the COVID year proved.  Hence, night games in the winter in Buffalo.  I gave up my seasons as I couldn't hack the cold and late nights anymore.  I am still a fan, but, there are other TV choices I consider as well.  We just need to recognize that the NFL is about maximizing revenue, and actual physical fans in the seats are really optional.

  7. Bills are in an all out panic about the D line.  three free agent signings, and three  draft picks in the first four rounds of this years draft.  Not a good look for the master planner Beane.  I know they carry 10 on the 54, but, seems over the top to me.  Trouble ahead here is my read no matter how these new adds come out.  I wonder if they will all know each others names by the time of the first game. (or know the D)

    Daniel Jones got coached by Daboll for two years and he still sucked.  Jones was a better prospect than Dart. This was an awful QB class and Dart is worse than Zach Wilson. This will cost them their jobs. Sandars didn't get drafted above Dart because nobody wanted to deal with daddy, but Jaxon Dart is not an NFL starter. 

    Yes, but, after seeing the clips of Dart playing, I get it.  He looks like young Josh Allen in a number of the moves he showed.  I understand why Daboll and Giants went that way.  they had a big success in Buffalo w the real Josh Allen.  They are going to try to replicate that in NY.

  9. Bean will trade up to draft a DT.  He will then proclaim a great win as so and so was gonna draft him just before the Bills .  I know the song and the lyrics by now.  I am thot a fan of these moves, but understand the roster can't digest all those 4,5 6 7 round guys that     are drafted.  So, why not move up a few nnotches to get the right guy at a need position.

    Not expecting to see a Cook contract done anytime soon......maybe ever here.  It's obvious (and I truly believe rightly so), that Beane and and front office doesn't believe in paying big money to the RB position.  If Cook truly believes he is worth $15 million+, I don't think he is going to see that here.  I think we run him a ton this season and get as much as we can out of him and then it is on to the next.  And I do think that is the right way to do it.  There are other more premium positions to allocate that money to that will have a much bigger impact on the team.  I just don't think you would see a dramatic drop in production by going to Davis or another RB you draft this season.  

     

    I'm fine with waiting it all out.

    Yeh, but no more 17 td's.  spread them out to the other two rbs too

     

  11. I am still confounded  by the Douglas performance drop from 23 to 24.  He was fantastic in 23 coming over from GB, and didn't have it at all in 24.  I expect something else going on none of us know......

  12. Diggs helped Allen grow by being that reliable #1.  The Bills don't have that right now, but, Allen has grown in the 5 years now since Diggs arrived in Buffalo.  Congrats to Diggs for getting the big bucks.  Time will tell if that pays off for the Pats.

  13. I remember the Jarius Byrd situation.  Didn't play for 6 games about, and then reported and was "hurt" the rest of the season.  This may be Cooks move.  then, there was the Jason Peters fiasco when the Bills did not enforce a valid contract because the player wanted out.   where I come from, some contracts overvalue, and some undervalue, and when they are signed ,you don't know who is getting the better deal...team or players.  Players always want an undo if they over perform the contract.

     

    I would prefer to trade him before the draft, and pickup another rb in the late rounds on day three.  Davis and Johnson can handle the job quite well.
