It’s not ideal but could work. You’d be looking at an abbreviated offseason and likely a summer draft. Guys would report to camp shortly after the draft. In the NBA guys report to summer league a week after the draft so it isn’t that crazy I guess. It will be terrible for guys that get hurt. I suspect you’d see more and more players going the McCafrey/Fournette/Bosa route and sitting out to prepare for the draft. It’s certainly option 3 on the list but it’s better than no season I guess.

He could have said no position I guess. If he told them the truth it would have been awkward for Davis.

The whole “it was an OL” was BS. It’s a strong play by Beane though. Since the Bills didn’t take another OL it doesn’t put that guy in a weird situation. It would have been an awkward conversation with Gabriel Davis otherwise.

I tend to agree with this. That scenario seems to be the most reasonable but not necessarily ideal. Oregon/Ohio State, Texas/LSU, Clemson/ND, ND/Wisconsin, are a few games that would go away. I don’t know what happens to ND in this scenario.

3...we have Trey Adams too Most mocks use the Super Bowl odds to determine draft order....depending on where they are pulling those from NE has the same or better Super Bowl odds than the Bills (which is absurd)

So, one of my best friends used to work in the athletic department at Auburn. He ran into the AD at some conference recently and they talked. He told him that there are 3 scenarios currently on the table for college football depending on how things evolve. They will either: A) Start the season on time B) Delay the season 5 weeks and cancel all non-conference games C) Start the season in February Also, apparently everyone wants to let this play out but the SEC wants to push forward regardless. We will see how it all plays out...

That’s kind of the point. We’ve been so traumatized we are unable to objectively view them. It’s like we’ve been in an abusive relationship and too paralyzed to see it. BB is the greatest ever but he can’t go out there and score points for them. This is a bad roster. They may win 6 games BECAUSE of his greatness. If Rex was coaching that talent they’d have a shot at the 1st pick.

I just don’t see it. They are bad. They have the 32nd QB situation in the league. They MAY be 32nd in offensive skill players. The OL is pretty good, secondary elite and the front 7 is just okay. How does that team win games? They look like a 6 win team with that schedule. We need to stop looking at the jersey and start looking at the roster.

I’m wondering if Beane saying it was an OL was BS so as to not cause controversy when he took Davis with the next pick? I heard Duvernay. Maybe my info is bad? I doubt it though. It’s easy to say it was an OL when you didn’t draft another one after to have to answer to, “hey we wanted someone else instead.”

They had Moss, Gronk, etc... The Patriots were 16-0 the year before Cassel played. That was a loaded roster. This is not. They are not the same team. We need to stop remembering other players. Only 1 guy from that Cassel team is still on the roster I think (Matthew Slater). The Jets were good with Namath too. That doesn’t mean that they’ll be good now.

FWIW, I heard that the Bills tried to trade up for Devin Duvernay

We often have those threads on the prospect you were most wrong on. Next time that pops up everyone please remind me how much I liked the trade up for Zay Jones. I was sure he was going to be a stud after dominating in the senior bowl. I was SO WRONG.

We have no idea what that negotiation and his relationship with the team was. Maybe things were said? Maybe they treated his family poorly? Maybe he didn’t like the food? We have no idea what happened leading to this.

They stuck to their guns and he stuck to his. I don’t see the correlation? He didn’t like the way that they handled it and left them without the benefit of a comp pick. He didn’t owe them the comp pick opportunity anymore than they owed him what he was seeking.

There’s another video where he hits a 60 yarder with 1 step

I love this. An organization known for playing hard ball with players takes it. I always go millionaires over billionaires.

Just to be clear on where they will rank I have them outside of the top 3 in points allowed defensively and inside the top 15 in points scored.

Alright, I’ll bite: - Baun - Evans - Hall - Anae - Proche - Prince Tea Wanogho - Nate Stanley

My stab at it: QB (3): Allen, Barkley, Fromm RB (4): Singletary, Moss, Yeldon, Jones FB (1): DiMarco WR (7): Diggs, Brown, Beasley, Davis, McKenzie, Duke, Roberts TE (3): Knox, Kroft, Sweeney OT (4): Dawkins, Ford, Nsheke, Williams IOL (4): Morse, Spain, Feliciano, Long Offense: 26 DT (5): Oliver, Lotulelei, Jefferson, Butler, Phillips DE (4): Hughes, Addison, Epenesa, Murphy OLB (4): Milano, Klein, Joseph, Thompson ILB (2): Edmunds, Matakevich S (3): Hyde, Poyer, Johnson CB (6): White, Wallace, Norman, Neal, Jonson, Jackson Defense: 24 K (1): Bass P (1): Turk LS (1): Ferguson Special Teams: 3 Note: Yeldon, Jackson, Barkley, Murphy and Duke are the last 5. PS: Vedvik, Wade, Adams, Gilliam, Hodgins, Johnson, Dodson, Brown, McGhin, the last few spots are for guys not currently here (including a safety, & DT). Takeaways: - The versatility on the OL and DL may allow for them to only keep 8 in either place. They have a bunch of guys that can play inside and outside. - They are going to cut players on both lines that can play in the NFL. I would guess that they try to trade a few of those guys like they did Teller and Bodine. The same is true at WR. The Bills could try to flip Foster/Duke. - Wade may get one of the 54-55 spots early and if he shows anything Yeldon goes instead. - Added a punter not currently on the roster. I do not believe that Bojorquez is on the team. He’s too inconsistent on a team that wants to play close games. In general this is a deep and well-balanced roster. It is as versatile and complete as any roster in the league. We need a couple more stars to develop and I’m looking at Josh, Singletary, Oliver and Knox to be amongst them. If those guys elevate there games to a pro bowl level the Bills can win the Super Bowl. I don’t think that it is a stretch for them to get there.

It depends how they split carries, Singletary’s health, and who plays in the red zone. If Moss averages 12.5 carries a game, stays and gets to 5.0 ypc that would be the 1,000 yards. Again, not saying it is going to happen but it wouldn’t be a miracle. At 20:1 it is worth a shot.

Moss is decent money at +2000. It’s not crazy to think that he could have 1,000 yards and 10 TDs (depending on how things play out). At 20x your money that’s worth a few bucks

It’s going to be him or Hodgins imo. I really think that they will keep one of the 2 big guys. At this point I lean Duke but that could change. I’m assuming one less TE but you are right about the extra QB. That could change it I suppose.

I would assume so because you can pick up street free agents and cut a guy that’s active.

So in theory it will be different guys filling those spots? It’s more of an injury insurance than 2 extra spots. That is an interesting concept and makes some sense.

I know it is hard to believe but Taysom may be the most popular player on the Saints amongst the fans. That’s not hyperbole either. There were A LOT of fans that wanted to let Brees walk and hand the keys to Taysom. It’s insanity. He is beloved. The Saints were never going to let him leave.
