Logic

If he winds up being Chris Kelsay/Ryan Denney, I'll be happy. That is, an edge setting, run stopping defensive end who can pitch in some pass rush in spurts and add value to the defensive line rotation. And before anyone waves away my invocation of those two names: One played 10 years in the NFL, the other played 9. That's a good career. Jackson's a third round pick, and usually edge rushers that fall to the third round -- great DL draft or not -- don't turn into premium pass rushers. Obviously, it's not a guarantee, and I'll be rooting for him to exceed expectations and ball out for Buffalo. But if he can work into the rotation, add some juice, and set the edge, I'll consider him a worthwhile 3rd round pick.

To be fair, I realized after I made my post that I definitely judge the hell out of people that put ketchup on their steak.

If I was Cam Lewis or Ja'Marcus Ingram, I'd be a little bit worried right now.

Absolutely. 1 of 9 for 13 yards and 2 INTs. AND THIS WAS AN ACTUAL NFL PLAYER!!! Yet still, to this day, there are people (likely even on this message board) that will insist they could complete passes in an NFL game. Comical.

I remembering being like "Riiiiight. Of COURSE this is the year the Bills become an exciting dominant team, setting off offensive fireworks and seeing the coronation of Josh Allen as a legitimate franchise QB....when there are no fans in the stands to see it! Just Bills' fans luck!" Thankfully, it was not a flash in the pan. Here we are five years later and the Bills are still bad Mother F'ers. Also, speaking of COVID football, can we pour one out for poor Kendall Hinton? 💀

I LOVE when artists cover songs. I could go on and on about my favorite covers. I could list too many here to be readable or reasonable. Instead I'll limit myself, and will just say that the vocal renderings of these two songs by these two early 90s vocalists are very powerful. Cornell's -- particularly in light of his untimely passing -- is nearly enough to move me to tears. Vedder's adds an edge of anger and conviction to the song that the original arguably lacked. Chris Cornell - Nothing Compares 2 U (by Prince) Eddie Vedder - Masters of War (by Bob Dylan) Check 'em out on Spotify or Youtube or something. Powerful stuff.

Coleman Palmer Shakir Samuel Moore Shenault Prather Shavers I think that's a reasonably well rounded, diverse top five, with the bottom three guys battling it out for an end-of-roster and special teams spot. Short of having a legitimate WR1, I like the group. If Coleman looks like the guy he was in the first half of last season and Samuel looks like the guy he was in the final few weeks, it could be a very respectable group indeed. Don't make me say it, but....okay okay, I'll say it... The WR room quietly got better today.

Beane going ham on those WGR guys and saying that "bitching about WR is the dumbest argument he's ever heard" and then immediately turning around and signing Elijah Moore is one of the funniest things that's ever happened. As far as pure football: I like the signing. Moore had 500ish yards last year. He's a fast, functional NFL WR with separation ability, and is just 25 years old (somehow). I feel he rounds out our WR corps nicely.

Psssh. Who died and named YOU the arbiter of umbrage? I think at least a modicum of umbrage is due. It feels like you're leaving a little bit of umbrage on the table on this one. In fact, I'd go as far as to say I take umbrage with your lack of umbrage.

Yeah. Also like…if they could give us a gimme game for the “last one ever at Highmark”, that would be great. Wanna go out on a winning note!

Indeed he was. Good prior to his time with the Bills, good after his time with the Bills. Mysteriously unable to get on the field during his time in Buffalo. Weird. Maybe he insulted McDermott's camo hat or something.

MVS was a weird case, but Poona Ford was even weirder. Dude was GOOD good last year for the Rams and parlayed it into a fairly lucrative 3 year deal. And it wasn't like the Bills were just overflowing with DT talent when Ford was unable to even get on the field here.

The other thing with Ogunjobi is that they signed him before they drafted Sanders and Walker. Sometimes the results of a draft can change your thinking on roster spots at a given position.

It's definitely an interesting question. My eyes are on an AJ Epenesa trade and/or a DaQuan Jones cut. They simply don't have room on the roster for everyone. And even IF they find a way to play the first six games with those guys, they'll need to make room once Ogunjobi and Hoecht return.
