    I’ve often thought this was gravely misunderstood. You’re not supposed to take/use the Lord’s name in vain. It doesn’t say that you cannot say his name. So you are not supposed to use the Lord to swear/promise/threaten anyone, as if you have some authority over what God does or doesn’t do. Nor are you to tempt the Lord to do anything. It’s perfectly fine however to say his name in worship and adoration. 

    Would being named "God" possibley be considered a little vain or no?

    New Buscaglia mock has Bills trading up to 7 for Malik Nabers

    For those who don't want to pay the totally-worth-it $1.99 per month to subscribe to the Athletic (can you even get a pack of gum for that any more?), here's Joe Buscaglia's latest 7 round Bills mock draft. I gotta say, if this happened, I might cry tears of joy.

    https://theathletic.com/5391796/2024/04/05/buffalo-bills-mock-draft-stefon-diggs-trade/

     

    TRADE!


    Tennessee Titans trade Nos. 7, 182 to Bills for Nos. 28, 60, 133 and 2025 1st


    The pick at No. 7: Bills – Malik Nabers, WR, LSU


    I continue to believe that anything, including a move like this one on draft day, is a real possibility for the Bills. Beane has long been an aggressive draft-day trader when he’s excited about a prospect and how he’d fit their system. Now, with a gaping hole for a top target at wide receiver and where the Bills are in their build, this is the type of move Beane could rationalize as one that puts them over the top for the foreseeable future.

    The cost of doing business might be high for some, which is understandable. I’m sure it will evoke memories of the Bills’ move up the board to take Sammy Watkins in 2014. But this is an entirely different situation from 2014 — almost comically so. Back then, it was the desperate move of a franchise hoping Watkins would help EJ Manuel become the franchise quarterback while blatantly ignoring several warning signs he was not that player. Now, there’s nothing for their quarterback to prove. The Bills have one of the best quarterbacks in the league in Josh Allen, a still-talented roster around him, and a pretty good idea that they’ll be pushing for the playoffs at the very least in 2024.

    By arming him with a young receiver with elite potential on a rookie deal for the next four years, it gives the Bills a lot of flexibility for how they spend through the duration of the receiver’s rookie deal. I’d liken this move more to the one the Atlanta Falcons made in 2011 to fly up the board and select Julio Jones, already with a top quarterback in Matt Ryan in place. They certainly didn’t regret that trade for a second.

     

    The recent trade of Diggs, and acquiring the Vikings’ 2025 2nd from the Texans, could empower Beane to make a stark move up the board like this one, too. With an extremely unsettled quarterback room — either starting journeyman backup Sam Darnold or a rookie — that pick has a good chance of turning into an early second-round selection. If that does happen, the Bills could easily get themselves back at the end of the first round next year, or just view their early second-round pick as their first-round pick replacement for dealing it away to get a potential game-changing receiver. For the right player, Beane will move a first-round pick.

     

    Is Nabers worth this type of move? In a more standard draft year, Nabers would easily be the best receiver prospect by a wide margin and likely one of the first players selected. He is outrageously talented and smooth, with the explosiveness to win however the Bills ask him to. The separation is effortless whether he’s at X, Z or slot and he gets the defender to bite at his breakdown constantly. He can win with physicality or speed and will eat cushion from off-defenders alive. Nabers has excellent, crisp footwork, and his contested catch concentration is simply outstanding. On top of it all, he can be a monster with yards after the catch, either using physicality to drag defenders or his 4.35 speed to blow up a play.

    Nabers has all the potential to be a star in the NFL, and with one of the league’s best quarterbacks in Allen, it increases that likelihood by a large margin. Nabers is worth the hype. But would he make everyone forget about the price tag? It certainly looks like he has all the potential to do so. And with the Bills looking like they’ll have cap space to work with in 2025, it could be the catalyst to another push toward the top of the AFC.


    Rest of draft:

    Diggs cryptic comments - 2024 edition

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by foreboding

    Diggs isn't going anywhere, nor do we want him to. When we saw so many other guys running open in the second half of last year, Diggs was getting doubled and watched by the safety. He was creating opportunity for other guys by working hard.

     

    Yep. He had a couple of big drops. I'd bet you, that changes this year.

     

    Look, we all know 14 plays to his own tune in life, and though it may seem awkward to some people, so far all he is proven here is that when he is ready to talk, he does...straight, on point, and ready to go. Diggs is allowed a down year and I think he's got plenty left in the tank. He does need a good threat opposite him who can also stretch the field and get loose.

     

    I think there is good reason to really like Buffalo's pass catchers. With Curtis taking Gabes spot (for now) and Shakir looking to be a hell of a slot, especially at the end of the year and more so as the coaches and Josh trusted him.

     

    Same trust seemed true of Kincaid. Even though he had his time cut into a little in the middle of the season as Knox came back and you could tell he was disappointed, but by the end of the year, there was little doubt who the Bills main TE was in big moments.

     

    Who knows what the draft brings?

     

    Either way, I think the overall receiving corp is already better than it was last year. Also some guys who were in wrong seat on the bus are gone. Coaches and players. Good offseason so far, credit to the FO for making hard decisions decisively.

    That is....SO MUCH F'N money for a 30 year-old-receiver.

    My goodness.

    Ridley is a good player, and he was a few freaky TD drops away from having had very good statistical season last year in a middling Jaguars offense.

    But...yikes. In a year this loaded with WR talent in the draft? To pay THAT kind of money for a WR?!

    Yowwwwza.

    No doubt. Like our Von Miller effect. We need X, go over-spend on an older guy. Pray he is elite for 3-4 years into this mid thirties.

    Are any of these guys better than Rapp? Honest question as I don't know much about many of the names. Most seem old and on their final legs

    Have to figure there are a few that would have been just as good and maybe cheaper. But Rapp knows the system now. 

    I'd add another cheap veteran age 25-28 and draft another. 

    Poyer knows it pretty well...

    Could the Bills be looking at Denver?

    I am sure we could make good use of Jerry Jeudy as a starting WR with Josh Allen.  If a guy can run fast, run good routes and has solid hands, he can play for us regardless of who else we have.

     

    That's like saying we can't have more then one Stefan Diggs.  LOL

    Who loses playing time if they bring Jerry in and draft a speedster? I want Shakir out there and jeudy won't be cheap.

    90 Bills, 4 Falls of Buffalo

    Just some random thoughts

    Man I'm in tears watching.

    Was wondering who on here experienced that as an adult or late teen. How did that feel watching live? I think It'd feel like a loved one died.

     

    The Bruce play that should've caused a fumble, never remembered that, man so many opportunities , like they said,  should've never come down to a kick..

     

    Also how much a SB would've boosted the legacy of these guys, Thurman should be considered 1 of the greatest but rarely gets mentioned for example 

     

    Also, this O would be perfect for the k gun. Not 100% of the time but maybe 4 5 drives a game. Just a thought, with our personnel 

     

    Also for Bills fans to show up 30k deep and calling for Scott, was amazing.

    I'm honored to be a real member of this fan base as an out of towner

     

    Ya just some thoughts,  that 90 team was awesome! They deserved that 1. 😪

    Saw every second of every game. Enjoyed that team immensely, but yes, we did have our annual burial service at the end of the year. That part wasn't as much fun.

    KC Second Half Adjustments

    then stop obsessing about KC, please.   if Josh drives us in for a touchdown and wins the game, none of this "curiosity" would be happening.  Stop trying to diagnose something you have no real visibility into.  Please just stop.   It's basketball season, then its golf season.  Football season is over.   Let it freaking go.   geez.  

    Don't you got a basketball game or something to watch?

    Chiefs are just better than the Bills

    Anyone watch the trenches last night?....ya i know, everyone wants to watch the "pretty" plays, the QB, the RB's, the WR's, but did anyone actually watch the trenches? I did and i'll tell ya some things i noticed....

     

    1) When the Niners were dictating and dominating the trench on O in the first half, they pressured Mahomo keeping him off-balance and forcing him to abandon some of KC's playcalling. They forced some sacks and kept Mahomo off his rhythm. KC could not generate anything on O in the 1st half. CM was steam rolling the KC D line, slicing up yardage.

     

    2) The 2nd half was completely different. KC owned the trenches, which gave Mahomo the confidence to make plays. It also didn't help that the Niners abandoned the run, however, the KC D was stout in the 2nd half and limited CM to very little yardage.

     

    My point being, we all know the game is won and lost in the trenches. We all know that if you can pressure Mahomo, you can throw him off his game. When was the last time we completely dominated the trenches in any game?.....Dallas, and that's about it. We moved the ball at will cause it all started in the trenches.

    My other point being, our FO keeps telling the fans that they are building a team to compete with KC....and yes we can compete in the regular season, but in the playoffs, they own us. They outright own us. Did we get any pressure on Mahomo last game we played them?....nope, and he had all day to feel comfortable in the pocket and pick us apart.

     

    If we can't own the trenches, we can't own the Lombardi.....simple as that.

    Shanahan abandoned the run in q2 and 3. When he started running again, they moved the ball. CMC was how they win that game and he forgot that when CMC fumbled.

    Dude...good lord we NEVER make the extra play or 2 or 3. They have the best QB, HC, DC, TE in the entire NFL. Chris Jones disrupts everything.  We have Josh Allen.  That's it. Of course they're always going to be one or 2 plays ahead of us. You said it yourself, 13 sec was a collasal coaching blunder.  I wish to the heavens above we had Andy coaching up Josh. But we don't. 

    Chris Jones is one of the best big game players on D we've seen in a while.

    I don't disagree with you, but having seen this story many times before as a Bills fan, I go for it on fourth down rather than kick the FG.

     

    You know Mahomes and Kelce have a greater than 50 percent chance of marching down the field and scoring the TD.  A FG is as good as a punt.

    It felt inevitable.
