I thought this was gonna be another OBJ thread lol

My attempt to address concerns: 1. OBJ did not have much drama in LA last year. Perhaps with a competent team around him, he doesn’t have much to dramatize. Having an elite QB who is a class act helps ease Wr concerns. Beasley was a pretty big source of drama last year, but I don’t think it impacted the team’s performance much, and especially not in the playoffs when the offense was firing on all cylinders. OBJ also wouldn’t have much time to cause drama as he likely won’t be back till November or later. 2/3 If McKenzie and Gabe Davis start playing extremely well, OBJ would be great to have as a 4 for late in the season. If Gabe is truly shining, OBJ can take on a reserve role and play in a rotation, which the bills have used in the past to keep their players fresh and healthy. OBJ is also a lot better than any of our depth currently which would give some security for injuries later in the season. 4. If there is more to Crowder’s injury, all the more reason to bring in another receiver. If not, more depth is a good thing. OBJ is a threat on the field who can dominate games and would slot over Crowder regardless.

I think he’s saying the OL was an afterthought in Buffalo behind the skill positions on offense and the defense, and I’m NY it seems to be a bigger part of the puzzle.

The reason behind it was last year it was called about 1/3 of the averages of the past 2 decades. It is quite the annoying penalty, but it’s also quite annoying to see your receivers constantly interferes with.

https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-tells-referees-to-focus-on-illegal-contact-fouls-in-2022-season-145111716.html It appears the NFL has given directives to referees to have 2 areas of focus in the upcoming season. One is a higher emphasis on illegal contact (touching a wr further than 5 yards downfield), which was called significantly less frequently than average last year. The other area of focus is a greater scrutiny of roughing the passer calls, to make them less often (after they were very high last year). I think the emphasis on illegal contact should benefit the bills, especially against teams like the Chiefs who have tended to be grabby with the Bills receivers. We did benefit from a few timely roughing the passer calls last year though, so there definitely could be cons.

Yup. When you go to pay (at least on the iOS app), there’s a little link that says public right above the pay button. If you click on that, you can select who can view: public, friends (yours and the recipients’), or private (just you and the recipient).

Just so you are aware, You can set Venmo transactions to be private.

Allen is elite Edmunds is a starter Harrison Phillips is/was a starter Taron Johnson is a starter In this defense Wyatt Teller is a high end starter Siran Neal is good depth stuck behind 2 all pro safeties, perhaps he would have been a starter elsewhere Ray ray mccolud sees some playing time, not on the bills. the only real miss was Austin Proehl. Honestly, I don’t really see this this draft surpassing 2018. Josh Allen alone would be incredibly hard to beat, but only one real miss in the draft is also damn good.

2018 gonna be hard to beat. Elite QB, decent MLB (kind of polarizing one), solid DT, top 5 slot CB, solid depth safety/big nickel guy, high end guard (that we ended up trading early)

Kolby Listenbee 2.0?

Or this one, complaining about people complaining about people complaining.

So what’s the idea? All I see is a complaint.

Probably a spreader for corn fields- they’re that tall so they can go into corn fields without running everything over, just where the tires are.

Gonna go with the vikes. They have among the best weapons in the league. Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson, and Adam Theilin are vastly superior to Green Bay’s weapons and make up enough of the difference between Rodgers and Cousins.

Is Bill Russel the best basketball player of all time then, since he won 11 championships?

I think I’d prefer 1-3 with the win coming over the Pats*

On the flip side, Allen, Taron Johnson, Davis, Milano, and Teller all outperformed their draft slots by a considerable margin.

I was going to post about that game, it was my first bills game that I attended.

Looks like Somebody doesn’t like hockey and then decided it wasn’t a sport because of that… hockey is a major sport, and it has been since the 70s at least. It’s why in American sports there’s considered “the big four” of MLB, NHL, NBA and the NFL.

Gretzky is more dominant IMO. Gretzky has the most goals and most assists in NHL history. His assist totals alone (1963) beat out the closest competitor in goals and assists combined (Jagr, 1921). His point total (2857) is 149% higher than the second highest of all time. Gretzky also has 4 of the 5 most points in a postseason (1,3,4,5), as well as another in the top 10 and another tied for 11th. He also had the top 4 regular season point totals, as well as 9 of the top 11 in NHL history. He dominated for a much longer period of time than Babe Ruth.

I was knocking on wood after just about everything the commentators were saying after we scored that touchdown.

Maybe they need analytics on their use of analytics 😂. I honestly think analytics has a more impactful place in other sports like Hockey where each player has more of a role, and you can derive possession numbers, transition numbers, etc. I feel like in football the eye test is a bit more effective/prominent, but there certainly is room for analytics as a tool for evaluation.

I do think Kupp is too low on your list, he had over 300 more yards than the next closest receiver last year.

Jimmy G has only been to one super bowl, not sure where the second has came from, the last 2 NFC teams were the bucs and the rams.

Likely isn’t a scrub assistant coach if he keeps getting interviewed for head coaching jobs, just not good enough to be a head coach if he keeps getting rejected.
