Unfortunately, I think. I should stop there. I think the down talk of games 1-8 is how incredibly inconsistent this WR room will be. The OLine will be fine with JA17. They’ll run block like monsters, so RBs will be rolling. Defense will be full of excuses. That’s McDermott’s realm, and he gets to create that narrative.. our standards will be so low that we’ll be happy with regular middle of the pack play, and probably no big plays from anyone not named Bernard and Douglas, for however long they’re healthy. Bass could be a sorer spot than WR, but he’ll get axed if he’s actually costing the Bills games. There is just no way that this thing gets off the ground smoothly. Brady would have to be as creative as Reid to keep the pressure off young, career underwhelming middling WRs. Samuel will make a play and disappear. Shakir should get stuffed by opponents if he shows any WR1 potential during the season. The Rookie won’t get off until he learns how to play against NFL DBs and schemes. He doesn’t have the talent to win on talent, so he’ll have to learn to play, and that will take more than 8 games.

Always been a weirdo.

Another move that’s a no brainer for the Chiefs. We’ll see how this one shapes out. (Son… go get my Butker Voodoo doll!!!)

Butker got squirrelly, for anyone wondering, two years ago. 75%. He had a few issues, but won the SB anyways. Total outlier. Made all his playoff PATs, missed one FG. Top five leg, top five accuracy. He’ll miss a game with a leg tweak. but is a throw him out there guy, and is clutch with all systems go. Last year’s playoffs: 11/11 FGs; 8/8 PATs. Damn solid.

A kicker’s agent is really free money. An agent can’t “convince” a GM that their guy does this better or that better, or there’s any untapped potential that should earn bigger bucks. For a kicker, it’s pretty straight forward. There’s obviously categories to mark, but physical attributes don’t factor in like every other position. It’s like if Edmunds was a kicker. Theres no way he’d ever become overrated by $$ or fans. Doesn’t matter if your kicker is young, long, fast.. if you can’t kick, nobody is going to be clamoring to keep you around. If Butkner was interested in free agency (AND WHY THE HELL WOULD HE BE???) he might have an agent. Know what Lamar ended up doing with no agent.. getting no real offers to the point of league collusion and signed with the only team he’s ever known anyways. IF Lamar knew what he was doing, then it was making a bunch of noise, putting the LEAGUE in a bad spot, and reaping the rewards of the league and Ravens paying him off to not cause anymore bad media attention. Such a weird situation. He got what he wanted. The Ravens ended up doing what they needed to. And yet, it was a mess. Jackson’s fault all the way, and he’s lucky the Ravens are solid for allowing him to back into that ideal contract. But man.

The music has been annoying. Schoen… I dunno.. I don’t ever see the smart people behave the way he does. He’s a little too impressed with himself.

Game wreckers on the defensive line and edges.

What stats did I use to make points?

Just can’t do stats in football like that. Each game has too many independent variables variables going in a game, and their dependencies are impossible to predict or compare. Analytics is most difficult apply, much less use, Of the four major sports. Right?

Oh, and he won ‘em all. So give me the wins, @PBF81 can keep the stats 😊

Somebody posted a comparison graph underneath one of those Twitter links in the OP. Mahomes and Brady. It’s nice to be in that debate. For the Allen column.. WE WOULD HAVE DIED TO HAVE A QB THAT GREAT FOR A CAREER IF YOU OFFERED US THAT 7 YEARS AGO. JA17 is still getting better.

Compared to what Biden’s closest aides—family—are doing to him, Reagan’s should truly be thanked.

They never stand and talk about things that aren’t scripted. Politicians used to be master class bullshitters. Now they can’t even defend their positions in an informal setting with 20 somethings. It’s embarrassing. How about, an answer to her question? If she’s wrong for wanting more oil, address it, SENATOR. Jesus, she’s a SENATOR.. She should be able to handle the Big Oil “question”. It’s embarrassing. Everyone so traumatized that default ol questions and points of discussion are a No-Go-Zone. Crazy.

Yeah, sucks. Hate to hear this to one of “my guys” from the 80s. Cool, unique player, at quarterback, on a very dramatic Browns team. Back then the AFC was Double A Ball so I appreciated the AFC players a little more, being more familiar with their struggle.

I may have blocked it out of memory, but I think the last KC drive was that way, no?

I think that’s the deal breaker for this line—VPG. Rookie centers do start in this league. There are just not many better situations for a rookie center to step into and start. Experienced franchise hands on your a$$. To his right, they should relate and be bffs right now. Dawkins isn’t shy. Brown isn’t shy. McGovern is good. We’ll see how camp goes, but Beane and Brady and McDermott should be spending extra time making VPG the starting center. What a thing it would be to draft starting rookie linemen in consecutive years.

Allen takes a lot of hits.. he scrambles. Only concern here is that pocket time. But really, ball should be out. That’s the whole design of these plays. He’s just absolutely stellar when he leaves the pocket so these type of stats are indicative of Allen’s style of play, not necessarily a crime of OLine

And he's done exactly that. Wonder what this list would look like if it was about potential. McD and Tomlin take hits.

Schefty needs to change the text to read: Bills sign second round bust

My vote is a little of A and a little of B. He’s top ten, but hasn’t put together a Super Bowl roster, in theory or reality.

And what the hell would be do with all those draft picks that would come with BA??

the chiefs signed WR Sloth#0 practice player to give their defense a look

haha, simmer child.

Jaylen Brown makes incredible plays. Watching a highlight reel of Josh Allen easily makes you forget about the few mistakes. Both players are spectacular, and both do things that can make fans bite their lip (or threatened a tv). …like dibble off a foot out of bounds, or playing hot potato with football. I know we have some C’s fans here, and maybe you’re watching. Just watching NBA, but inventing ways to make it about the Bills. So sue me! (Btw, anyone seen Shakir today..? Seeing a lot of similarities between he and Alcaraz. One and the same…?? hmmmm)
