Fairness or not. How is the fan experience better if the 10-7 Bucs get a home game as 3 seed..... but a 14-3 team sits at home? Fan experience should be #1 over everything, and getting away from this principal is exactly why die hard NFL fans are watching less/less interested than they were even 10 years ago Isnt parody supposed to be a perk of the league? Im sure 49 states aren't sick of KC.... especially on the heels of NEjust ending. It isnt good for fans to have 2 teams dominate the league for what'll end up being 30years easily

Agreed. Add an extra wild card to balance it out, top 2 get byes. They get their extra playoff $$, fans get more games, and IMO it doesnt weaken the pool down at all. This year wouldve let in 9-8 Bengals & 10-7 Seahawks (same record as the 3 seed Bucs).

Nah. Football is my favorite sport unquestionably.... and theres no way to do this with football but a series rules so hard. I wouldnt expect any Sabres fans to remember LOL, but a Cup run is superior. NHL playoffs are absolutely savage!!! Have something to look forward to every other night. Every game feels meaningful. Players are absolutely sick of the other teams players by puck drop of game 2, Gets chippy real fast. Up to 2 weeks for fans to focus their entire hate on another cities fans LOL I was too young for SB runs '90-94, so I had to learn my hatred for Dallas through hockey... Washington too! All that said, Id take 1 Super Bowl over winning 5 Cups; but Id be willing to settle for either at this point

i know youre getting dragged here, but i really like the play-in games in nba. They def have a March Madness feel to them, even though nba is so inferior to me. I like the idea of this for the NFL, but it just does not translate across sports. After seeing that Florida/Houston Championship, I caught myself thinking damnnnn I wish we could get a best of 7.... but that would ruin March Madness if they went to 14 teams get in, and then a bunch of best of 7 series BBBBBBUUUUUUUUTTTTTTT, maybe just for the Natty Round they could give us a best of 5! lol i know, they probably should leave it alone, im just sad its over and seriously would love to have seen that matchup 3, 5 or 7 times I really like this one actually! Take the Super Bowl bye week out and toss it between regular season/wild card round. id sign up for that change right now

Here's Bond's Lawsuit Against the Woman. Obviously these allegation types get murky real fast. And even knowing how good attorneys are at spinning a story, im left feeling like this is a run of the mill accusation around pro-sports. I'm assuming Bond has record of these texts, which dont paint her in the best light.... I can't say Im fully off the Bond train, but its hard to picture Beane/McD being on this train if he were to fall https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txnd.402913/gov.uscourts.txnd.402913.1.0.pdf

Yeah, theres another thread on Bond. Highly unlikely dude gets drafted, PR nightmare to the highest degree. Were not talking SA allegation, we're talking about a SA arrest. He essentially admitted it in text form and tried to bribe her with $1k. Her response was what???? You want to give me a grand to shut up? His answer "ok 2 grand". yyyyiiiiiikkkkkeeeessss. as much as i like the idea of getting a 1st rd talent on a damaged goods price, that Araiza situation was absolute helllllllll here for what 3 days? Even as a fan i cant imagine trying to weather that storm, it'd be a spicy one for rest of off-season, regular season, playoffs, and only quiet down year 2. This is me just as a fan, talking about the smallest of the problems here^^^ and that alone is enough to count me out.

Weird, I've been reading he's 100% project/potential and zero production. Youre one of the better posters here, so what do you like? Why wasnt he productive? I know hes an absolute freak, is there something else he brings to table? Or freak enough for that to be worth it alone? Dudes traits on his scouting report reads a lot like another former A & M guy, who shall not be named on this board lol

Has anybody done this yet? Asked ChatGPT; criteria I gave it being "realistic & scheme fit"... I can tell its pretty whack given its talking about "post-Diggs". I dont know much about this draft past round 2, so you'll have to be the judge Round 1, Pick 26 Matthew Golden, WR, Texas Why: A dynamic playmaker with elite speed (4.29 40-yard dash) and route-running ability. Golden can stretch the field and provide Josh Allen with a reliable deep threat Round 2, Pick 58 Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina Why: A versatile safety with excellent size (6'3", 220 lbs) and athleticism. Emmanwori can play both deep and in the box, fitting well into the Bills' defensive schemes. Round 3, Pick 90 Omarr Norman-Lott, DT, Tennessee Why: A quick, gap-shooting defensive tackle capable of putting pressure on the quarterback. Norman-Lott adds depth and pass-rushing ability to the interior defensive line. Round 4, Pick 124 Jacob Parrish, CB, Kansas State Why: A feisty nickel corner with impressive speed (4.35 40-yard dash). Parrish brings competitiveness and depth to the secondary, particularly in slot coverage Round 5, Pick 160 T.J. Sanders, DT, South Carolina Why: An interior pass rusher with notable production (11.5 sacks in 2024). Sanders offers rotational depth and potential as a disruptive force on the defensive line. Round 6, Pick 205 (LOL REALLYYYYY CHATGPT?!) Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State Why: A tall (6'4") receiver with strong hands and contested catch ability. Higgins provides a red-zone target and depth to the receiving corps. Round 7, Pick 239 Ryan Rehkow, P, BYU Why: A punter with a powerful leg and excellent hang time. Rehkow can compete for the starting role and improve field position battles.

Exactly one of the reasons I prefer we trade up to get the right guy. I get the whole 'the more lotto tickets you have" thing, but we g2 get this right. Cutting Objo would be brutal. I hate the idea of giving up on a 3rd rd'er just last year, who had a pretty major injury. If they really dont believe in him I get it, and can accept it, but doesnt seem like a Bills move with this FO.

I cant imagine they dont. OP crushed it, but id be disappointed if this wasnt just a surface level of what they do. Totally following criteria for a stat like this is optional? I cant imagine just having these kind of analytics being optional though. This kinda thing probably helps them separate between similarly ranked players on their board

Great work! Data analyst? Or just exceptionally passionate lol?

... so much for giving up the booze. smh Probably realtor listing it at that price knowing this is a hot time of year to try and fill these houses with other NFL players. Im fairly certain the market is mmmuuuuuch different than a year ago

I dont expect this to be well received on an old-man message board ("he wears a cap at the dinner table!"), but if we are looking for a new OC after this season I'm 100% interested. Put his mind to work and the rest of the staff can handle the major leadership skills. Grier has certainly not helped McDaniel out with team personnel. "Hey this dudes struggling to manage Tyreek Hills attitude, lets trade major assets, to bring in Ramsey and immediately get him an extension". I dont know how well even McDermott would handle Tyreek and Ramsey together Thats like saying "wow, this dudes a real alcoholic who cant handle his liquor.... let's get him some cocaine to help pep him up a little bit!"

Damn. I didnt see any of that..... This pretty much clears it up though honestly. Sad. Ex-wife said diagnosed with CTE. Sounds very much like he was high and fell https://www.local10.com/news/local/2025/04/11/broward-releases-report-about-miami-dolphins-players-mysterious-death/ Theres a toxicology in there I didnt know how to interpret. Obviously ChatGPT isnt perfect but it cited 3 different credible Toxicology Text Books

I don't even disagree with your premise.... but being scared of Dane Jackson starting, to the point of passing over BPA and reaching on CB is just not happening if I'm GM. Dude is an average #2 who knows the defense and played it well enough. If you want to replace him that desperately youre better of trading up to go get the guy. Either let the board come to you when it does with any one of our 10 picks, make a draft weekend trade for a Vet, or go up and get the guy you covet in a range you're willing to pay. We have TEN picks

Positionally, I don't think I have one at any one position. 1st Rd Tackle if BPA fell that way might sting a little because I love DDawk, but I'd understand the BPA move with the thought of getting cheaper down the line and grooming a guy ahead of time + nice depth. Between being a mostly solid team and picking at #30, if you stand pat I can justify BPA (outside of QB obv) at any position. Obv 3 DT's 1,2,3 is nuts lol

Is it floating around? Not disputing you at all, the latest report I read implied (really had to read between the lines) like he feigned a 'wrong hole, oops' type situation during a consensual (up to that point) encounter. Not saying one thing or another, just curious as I couldnt find a police report. Arent they like $25 and public? Id imagine Front Offices all have it

Shouldve went after Golden ughhhhhh

Anybody smarter than me know whats up with his work in receiving game? Looks like he had a stellar 2nd year catching the rock.... but reverted back to the mean this last season? Different coach or scheme this year? Did he show bad hands and they moved away from it? He had good hands, but they ran him into the ground so much rushing that they let another RB spell him on "3rd and Pass"?

Just want to mention Adderall can pop for that. Strikes me as a guy that couldve had ADD, especially thinking back to the Fins clip when theyre talking about why they were looking to trade him, and even the way he left here. Im taking it with a grain of salt that this couldve been something prescribed. I have 5 years clean/sober, and fully realize addiction can hit anyone including CEO's/ politicians/ pro-athletes.... but I cant imagine meth being a commonly abused substance by pro-athletes, seems like thatd be one of the more rare substances these guys would be into. Def not saying its not possible, just considering Occam's

I get its easy to make fun of... its probably overkill for a lot of people who go do this; but to dismiss it and ignore the results its had on brutal cases of PTSD (usually soldiers) is foolish. We're talking about hard ass men who've been in the front lines of Vietnam, and have had 40-50 years of being unable to even sleep with the lights off. Go to fireworks with their grandkids.... Can't have a nights sleep without experiencing their best friend(s) being blown to pieces, with the exact same intensity, as the first time it happened. NIGHTLY. A very literal and inescapable hell on earth.... and after 365/year for 40+ years of this, sometimes come out the other side after a single trip, finally at peace and able to rest at night. You know how man has escaped that kind of hell, for 100's of years? Putting a round through their frontal lobe. Imagine living life that way. Now imagine being the wife, son, or parent of that person, unable to do anything for the person you love the most. Picture who you love most, and imagine watching them go through this. An absolute gift from God and textbook use of the word 'miracle'. To dismiss a gift like that for other people would be an evil on par with war.

Bro same, except I was positive I'd sharted. Mustve checked 1,000xs, each time being sure--unlike the last check that I surely did this time.... probably wiped my balloon knot raw LOL. Looking back it was likely sweat + heightened sense of feel. One of the best nights ever, fun as all heck, but came out the other side with a truly different perspective too.

Great post! Id be interested to see this kinda data show trends amongst the rest of the league. where do the top teams spend the most draft capital (position, which side of the ball).... where do the worst teams spend it.... what we spend across all positions.... then we could look for where we differ most from other top teams (trends) im certain this is the exact kinda thing other teams study. would love to be able to pick a GM's brain or even shadow one for a day. There's so much that we dont even know, that we dont know. Would knock my socks off to see what Front Office Theory looks like..... somebody take a retired GM and make a show outta this. Have him walk through exactly how he would approach the current draft. Show what front office meetings would look like. Mock draft and give us an inside view of what a functioning war room is doing. I know we kinda get the with Embedded, but I want to see the uncensored version. Even a fairly open GM like Beane is holding a million cards close to the vest releasing that kind of content. Id watch that show religiously ughhhhhhh

Bro, first Reek is most assuredly a grade-a scumbag. If you believe tainted supplements, or "my GNC powder had things in it i didn't know about" i have got a bridge to sell you LOL Who was the last athlete to go "yeah I knew I shouldn't be sticking needles in me, my bad"? Oh none ever? I guess all sports are sooo clean and only GNC is to blame lol 32 multi billion dollar entities and you think teams don't hand out approved supplement shopping lists with links to trusted vendors? You think teams are forgiving guys they pay that kinda money too, for missing 8 games because their whey powder had some obscure non-effective, suspended on a technicality, substance in it? You lose a player 8 games because they're juiced to the gills? Probably infuriating. Losing a player 8 games to some placebo effect only, microgram in their N.O-XPLODE? A player that dumb is getting black listed lol Tl:dr these guys fill themselves up like water balloons with needles. Anybody popping dirty, is popping dirty for something we collectively think of as steroids, not one extra poppyseed bagel at the breakfast buffet

Why not trade / cut Knox? Loveland pass catcher only kinda dude? Wouldnt it be better to have 2 of those guys and pay another dude to be a grunt... feels less of a need when we have Anderson as 6th OL too
