  1. You're right. He yelled at Josh Allen on the sideline one time. Another time, he left the locker room early after a loss in a big game. Cancer. Diva. Trade him for a bag of footballs.
  2. I actually will look that up, because I DO like Greg Cosell, and I currently DON'T like AD Mitchell.
  3. I have never seen MORE chatter for LESS good reason than that regarding Stefon Diggs. He has never -- NEVER -- publicly stated his dissatisfaction or desire to leave the team. Never demanded a trade. Never been anything but an A+ teammate, locker room presence, and team leader. Yes, he's fiery, and he wants the ball. So do all good WRs since the beginning of time. His fire FEEDS this team. Who do you most often see walking up and down the bench, getting in people's faces? That's right. Stefon Diggs. Yes, he could use some public relations classes on answering questions in a way that invites less speculation. Still, I feel most of the narrative that follows Stefon Diggs is completely unwarranted. Where's the endless, breathless speculation over George Pickens? AJ Brown? Garrett Wilson? All three of those guys have expressed more public dissatisfaction with their team, yet they don't get one tenth the coverage and speculation that Diggs gets. It's maddening. I wish everyone would find something else to do and quit creating drama where there is none.
  4. Unless Brian Thomas gets within shouting distance and Beane trades up for him, I actually expect the Bills to take a different position in round 1, followed by a trade-up in round 2 for a WR. I'll say this: Round 2 success rates for WRs are just about as good as Round 1 success rates for WRs the past few years. You can ABSOLUTELY still get a playmaker in round 2. 2023 2nd round WRs who hit: Jayden Reed Rashee Rice (and Tank Dell was taken in the 3rd, and Puka Nacua in the 5th) 2022 2nd round WRs who hit: None. Okay. Bad example. 2021 2nd round WRs who hit: None again. Uh-oh. What's happening? 2020 2nd round WRs who hit: Tee Higgins No one else. Shoot. This is not going well. Ok, so...after doing that exercise, I've changed my mind. I genuinely expected to prove the "2nd round receivers are good, too" point, and the data the past four years said otherwise. WR or bust in round 1! 😅
  5. Nothing says "offensive competence" quite like combining Russell Wilson with Arthur Smith. Add in a dash of angry George Pickens and you have the recipe for some knee-slapping entertainment. Not from the product on the field, mind you, but from the absolutely hilarious level of ineptitude on display. Personally, I'm just happy the Steelers seem pathologically unwilling to try to get a true franchise QB to go with their elite defense. They took a swing with Pickett, it didn't work, and now they're like "give us the ghost of Russell Wilson please". You love to see it.
  6. That's what DaQuan Jones and Austin Johnson are. 1TDTs. Big bodies. Run stoppers and gap pluggers. Williams is a 3TDT. Pass rusher. Gap shooter. 295 is fine for that.
  7. Brown Sugar Strawberry S'More Don't care, those are the only three flavors that matter. The best possible way to eat Pop-Tarts is to eat one brown sugar and one strawberry in a sitting. They should make twin packs containing one of each of those two flavors per pouch. I will die on this hill.
  8. I have a simple rule: No matter how tempted I may ever be because I have other personal preferences... I never, ever get angry at the Bills for drafting linemen on either sides of the ball. They may be the least exciting draft picks, but you win and lose football games in the trenches. Nine times out of ten, if you want to know who is going to win a football game, watch the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Whoever is winning those battles usually wins the game. The best way to win those battles is to have talented players on both lines. So a blue chip center at 28? Great. Fine. No problem here. Not my preference at all (I think you can get good interior linemen later in the draft, and I also like Alec Anderson), but...if that's what they wanna do, I won't complain.
  9. This is pretty much all that needs to be said. /Thread.
  10. I feel like you're changing your tune a little bit. I believe you said in the OP that we were "all set at WR" and would "maybe grab one in round 6". Now you're saying we'll draft one in round 2 or 3? If the Bills do that, they certainly don't share your belief that we are "set" at WR.
  11. There's a tradition amongst draftniks to plant their flags and declare Their Guys for draft season. I figured we could use a thread to that effect. This is the place to tell us: Who are Your Guys this year and why? You certainly CAN name guys like Marvin Harrison Jr or Caleb Williams, but it's not exactly going out on a limb to declare your confidence in consensus top five prospects. Instead, I'm more interested to know of that late round gem WR or day two small school prospect that you're just sure is gonna be a steal. Anyway...you've scoured the game tape, you've read the scouting reports, you've seen the RAS scores and combine results. Who are Your Guys for the 2024 NFL Draft?
  12. I realize he had two major injuries, but...I wouldn't classify a torn ACL or a popped achilles as "durability issues". Both are freak accidents that can happen to anyone, even the most "durable" players.
  13. While it is indisputable that he has RARELY been healthy in his career, when he WAS healthy as a rookie, I would argue that he did indeed distinguish himself. He averaged 5.8 yards per carry that year. Very good. Now, obviously, we're four years and two major injuries beyond that point. But Dobbins is 25 years old and, in my opinion, worth at least kicking the tires on to see if he has any of that old explosivity left.
  14. I think that signing Dobbins on a cheap, heavily incentive-laden contract would be awesome. He's NOT going to command a big salary coming off those two injuries and with almost no notable NFL production to his name. If he'd sign a prove-it deal and come to camp, I'd be all for it. The upside is ENORMOUS, and assuming it was an affordable deal with low to no guarantees, there is really not much downside. Yes, it's possible he's never the same guy he was at Ohio State. It's also possible that he bounces back from injury and you get a real steal for relative peanuts. Like @boyst, I also think CEH would be a great (and less risky, health wise) choice. I can't imagine either guy costing much. Signing former 1st and 2nd round picks who need a fresh start and a change of scenery seems like exactly the type of thing the Bills should be doing at RB2.
  15. MHJ wants to be a Bill? Well... I want to ***** Sydney Sweeney on a yacht off the Amalfi coast. Both seem to have an equal chance of happening.
  16. His most recent post was from March 20th. Looking at some of the song lyrics he chose to post in the past couple weeks in the "share a song" thread, there are little breadcrumbs... Very sad, indeed. I just spun Warren Zevon's "Keep Me in Your Heart For a While" in Tom's honor. "Enjoy every sandwich"...
  17. Unless I'm mistaken, WhoTom IS the person who has passed away.
  18. I am so sorry to hear it, and I am so sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed Tom's presence here. He made this forum a better place. Absolutely one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing this. May he rest in peace, and may your family find comfort in this difficult time.
  19. Bills Scoring Offense rankings the past four seasons: 2nd 3rd 2nd 6th Bills Scoring Defense rankings the past four seasons: 16th 1st 2nd 4th The Bills have won the second most games in the league since 2020. The Bills have been top 6 in preseason Super Bowl odds the past four seasons. Winning more games than everyone but the Chiefs, being consistently above average on both offense and defense, and being considered one of the five or six best teams in the league year in and year out seems like an indication that the team's GM is fairly good at his job. Looking at each move in a vacuum -- "Beane failed to draft impact player X", "Beane failed to burnish positional group X with the draft capital I would've liked" -- ignores the reality of looking at the team as a whole: The Buffalo Bills have been very good for several years now. It also fails to mention the moves he's made that have been SUCCESSES. Ultimately, to suggest that the man in charge of building the roster for a team this consistently good is, himself, bad at his job, well...I strongly disagree.
  20. I expect one of three outcomes. Which one happens will depend on who is on the board when the Bills pick. 1. A receiver they really like begins to fall, and they make a small move up to get him. Think Brian Thomas Jr. 2. They draft a non-WR player at 28 (edge or safety likely), then use day 3 pick(s) to move up higher in the 2nd round and draft a WR. 3. They trade down from 28 into the 2nd round and add a 3rd round pick (Beane was expecting one, and I bet he wants to have one). They then use their two 2nd round picks on a WR and a defensive player. One thing is for sure: Even WITH the player exodus and lean free agency period, they won't be using all 11 picks. There's just no way. Expect movement up and down the board.
  21. They did not mean the play clock. They meant the game clock. The actual rule that was passed was that they can review whether the GAME clock expired at the end of a QUARTER before the ball was snapped. They cannot review whether the PLAY clock expired before any snap. That would be chaos. See below for further explanation: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-approves-rule-allowing-replay-review-to-see-if-game-clock-expires-before-snap The NFL announced that a rule change concerning the game clock has been approved at the league meetings on Tuesday. The Competition Committee’s proposal to allow for reviews of whether the game clock expired before a snap got the required votes to become a rule. The change does not apply to the play clock, so it will not impact delay of game penalties. On the final play of the third quarter of a game between the Packers and Lions in Week Four of the 2023 season, the Packers picked up 44 yards but the Lions objected because they argued the quarter ended before the snap. Replays showed that the Lions were correct, but there was no recourse under the old rules. That changed on Tuesday and a similar play will have a different result in the future.
  22. I'd rather have this modified kickoff than have the kickoff taken out of the game entirely. When I watched this on TV in the Spring leagues, its novelty wore off pretty quickly. There weren't as many big plays or as much craziness as you'd think. That said, the potential for big plays seemed greater to me than what it is now in the NFL's neutered kickoff. I predict that everyone will be used to at after just one game of watching it, and that the rule will be here to stay (with minor tweaks until they perfect it). All of that said, I'm interested to see how the league goes about adjusting their roster-building for this. I wonder if the Bills use Samuel as kick returner (which Beane mentioned in his recent press interview).
  23. Seems we've had a few volunteers already. What still needs doing?
  24. I am genuinely curious as to why the Bills aren't a part of this. Has anyone asked Brandon Beane or whomever might yield an informed response? My instinct tells me that the Bills, by virtue of their proximity to Canada, are considered to naturally/automatically have Canada as their "international" market. But that's completely an assumption, and admittedly not the most well-reasoned assumption at that. Does anyone have any legitimate insight into why the Bills aren't a part of this? It seems like they could use all the help and extra attention and income they can get.
