*placing the dictionary and thesaurus back on my desk* I concur. Intelligent response. I think we're all a bit smarter for having read it.

I believe there would be serious legal ramifications if that is true. Purposely losing?

3rd quarter. Our defense forces a rare 3 and out on the Chiefs. Our offense gets the ball with great field position and a chance to take the lead. Daboll proceeds to call 3 runs to someone not named Josh Allen. Needless to say, we go 3 and out... Too many series like this throughout the seasons. I wish Daboll luck on his next team and I hope that team isn't the Buffalo Bills.

I don't know the dude. But he seems to have all the talent in the world, with no heart or love for the game.

You'd think something so small would be a basic QB trait, but a good handoff fake is definitely a skill.

No first team Pro-Bowlers on the #1 ranked defense. Crazy.

You are you they thought you were.

It's the gift that keeps giving all season.

Absolutely nailed it, in my opinion.

Knox was raw coming out. But TE is also one of the hardest positions to learn. Part o-line and part WR. You have to learn two trades simultaneously.

I was really low on the pick of Epenesa. I did not like it at all. I thought he was too slow to be an effective rusher, and not strong enough to move 0-linemen like he did at Iowa. I just didn't see his place in the NFL. These are the moments that I'm very happy to be wrong. Go Bills! Go Epenesa!

What does Willis McGahee have to say about all of this?

This thread has all the good comments.

Should've been arrested last year after the AFC championship game when he raped the Bills o-line... then stole their lunch.

He's young, so I could end up being wrong. But I never understood the hype. Accurate, sure. But no zip on the ball. He was throwing to like 5 future first round WRs while at Alabama.

With Milano's injury history, we really need another linebacker who can cover. Klein ain't it.

I'd have to agree with you. Kelly was great, and a perfect fit for Buffalo. But Marino is one of the all time greats (I still don't like him though).

Maybe Josh just has him mixed up with Jalen Ramsey...

Bro, I never even implied that this guy was going to supplant Josh, or even compete with him. But we should always competition at all spots. I'm hoping this guy can push Fromm. Our starters are in good shape, but when they go down, we need a deep bench. This seems obvious to me.

Quarterback is the most valuable position in professional sports. I don't care who you have starting under center or as your 3rd stringer. It is always a good idea to bring in competition.

It's tough. Do you take someone who MIGHT be a great starter in year 3 (Brown)? Or someone who MIGHT be a good starter this year (Melifonwu)? You ask the same questions but replace with Tommy Doyle and Darrick Forrest respectively.

How many times in the championship game did Kelce just jog to an open spot in the zone and make a simple catch? How many times did we hear the Bills secondary needed to jam the WRs and stop letting them get a free release? Levi, Dane, Taron...they don't have enough athleticism to press or play man. This is a weakness that will be exploited by good teams. If you have guys that can get to the QB in 3 seconds, that's great. But it doesn't help a lot when the QB is getting rid of the ball in 2.5. McDermott has shown a willingness to adapt his game and make adjustments to his style. The NFL passing game is changing. I think he will eventually start focusing on CB2 in the future. This year I think it's going to hurt us. Anyway. Go Bills!

3 seconds seems to be a key number. If a QB holds the ball longer than 3 seconds, the chance for a negative play increases. QB rhythms and WR routes are designed to be completed in under 3 seconds. How do you get the QB to hold onto the ball a split second longer? Coverage. If your secondary can get the opposing QB to hold onto the ball half a second longer, our front 7 has a better chance at getting a sack or causing a negative play by the offense. Having a good CB2 will also help our safeties since they wouldn't have to worry about drifting coverage that way. Beane and McDermott don't seem to see things this way. They make the decisions. So we'll see how this season goes. I will support them and the team even though I happen to disagree here.

That goes both ways, no? The secondary and the D-line work together. QBs in today's NFL get rid of the ball so fast. If you have a great secondary, you can get the QB to hold on to the ball for another second. That gives the line a better chance at getting to the QB. I'm not saying that Beane is wrong. How can I? But I can have an opinion, and I really wish that we had picked some athletic freaks for the secondary. Dane and Levi aren't athletic enough to press or play man.

Agreed. I was sure that the Pats were going to get Fields, and it concerned me. Mac Jones doesn't frighten me. I don't care how smart he is, I saw consistent under-throws in games and during his pro-day. The guy had 4 first rounders making him look good.
