Doc Brown

That's because they failed to do what the Eagles and Chiefs have been able to do. Build their defense through the draft. The year after Burrows and Chase were drafted they spent 9 of their 13 Round 1 through 3 picks on defense. None of them worked out the way they hoped they would and only three were starting for them at the end of last year. Look at teams like the Eagles and Chiefs who employed a similar strategy with much better results. I guess that's what happens when you cheap out on your scouting staff.

Never let a good crisis go to waste.

Beane signed John Brown instead and then traded for Diggs the next year. A broken clock is right twice a day.

Talk about dodging a bullet.

Stock futures are way down. Thanks fricken Israel/Iran.

If we're talking about career as a whole and not just with the Bills then you'd have to include Owens. If you're talking about career as a Bill I'd put Diggs and Evans ahead of Lofton. 2002? Did you watch Music City Miracle and think SIGN ME UP!!!!!

I agree but I don't think the NFL will ever do it because they love the build up to the draft to keep the NFL on people's minds for as long as the calendar year as possible. If they swapped the draft with free agency that would be one way to accomplish that. However, then free agent veterans might not get the contracts given that most teams try to fill all their holes in the draft.

I'll eat toast on both sides if I'm hungry enough. Mold on both sides though.........I'm good. Lol. My only argument for Douglas is if all three are washed is he's at least the tallest with the most wingspan of the three. Arguably the best tackler of the three too. I think he goes back to the Packers though if I had to make a prediction. City loves him there like we do Tre here.

$500.00 without thinking twice. What am I going to do with a Lombardi trophy?

That's early for Oscar season. Lol. Recency bias is a hell of a drug.

It's a stupid argument then because if he gets 160 targets we're screwed. Even in your projections you're assuming his catch rate and yards per catch would remain stagnant with 60 more targets. His yards per catch went from 15.7 yards to 10.8 yards with more than double the targets. His catch percentage went from 86.7% in 2023 to 76% in 2024. His total yardage only increased by about 34% despite more than double the targets. Why would 60 more targets not have the same downward trajectory? Also, weren't you the one that predicted Shakir would have over 1300 yards receiving with 100 targets before last year or something like that with the idiotic assumption he'd be able to maintain the same yards per catch with the increased role?

You can't win MVP throwing 18 interceptions and single handily lose a game with stupid decisions like Josh did against the Jets in 2023 on McDermott's favorite date. I would've given the MVP to McCaffrey that year because nobody really stood out amongst QB's. Lamar was the best QB that year though imo as he did best when the lights were brightest and was the main catalyst of propelling them to the one seed. Prescott and Purdy I could've make the argument for though based off raw stats.

Oh. He's washed but I'd still take him over White or Jackson. It's like would you rather have a McDonald's burger or two left over McDonald burgers?

That's the Gabe Davis and Isiah McKenzie sales pitch I heard. He's not a bad route runner but he's better creating space after the catch than before. It's why his stats are better against zone coverage. The arm length thing isn't over exaggerated as he is in the bottom 1% of WR's. It's why he can't play outside as press man coverage eliminates him from the play. He also isn't going to win any 50/50 balls down the field. I was actually pleasantly surprised with the amount of production he had last year down the field on deep throws given his limitations but that usually came on low trajectory deep ball passes or broken plays. My guess is we'll never have worse outside WR's than we had last year so those opportunities will decline His strong suit is finding the soft spot in zones and running after the catch. Allen likes to push the ball downfield so you're never going to see him get Wes Welker like production which we are talking about with over 1,200 yards from a purely slot WR.

I'd take Rasul over all three without hesitation and I would hate the idea of him being our CB2. The Rams gave Tre a $3.25m guaranteed and he was so bad they just released him mid season. Dane Jackson was historically bad last year and the Panthers are now eating $1.5m in dead cap space. We know nothing about Strong yet besides him being a 6th round pick. If Hairston doesn't get the starting role look for a CB trade around week 7.

There were a lot of decent films that year and the subject matter is sometimes too dark for the Oscar voters. A early year release hurt it too. I thought Hanks deserved an Oscar nom for Captain Phillips that year too.

It's possible but highly unlikely. Shakir's strength is finding soft spots in zone and YAC ability. He isn't a superb route runner like Beasley and has a small catch radius with his microscopic arms so that limits his opportunities down the field. He's not going to win many closely contested catches. I think 1,000 is a possibility but I'd be shocked if he ever cracked 1,200 yards.

I don't think we'll ever see an MVP race be as fascinating as what we had last year. I could make a great case for each side. And yes, ***** Tom Brady. LOL.

I'm not complaining about the cost. It's peanuts in the grand scheme of things.

Military parades have long been debated before Trump came into office and veterans/non veterans alike have always been split on it. Some view it as honoring our military. Some see it as not needing to have them is the reason America is so strong given that communist countries like North Korea have them often for propaganda purposes. Memorial Day parades, Veteran day parades, singing the National Anthem, and pre game fly overs at sporting events do the job just fine. I respect both sides views on it but the left complaining about it really being a vanity parade because it happens to fall on Trump's birthday is just stupid imo. I think the 250th anniversary is a significant enough milestone that a parade is warranted despite the cost.

Was he under contract yet?

It's so tough because the defensive roster has been built pretty specifically for McDermott's defensive scheme. Moving on from him would be a likely lost year the following season. Plus, you'd lose a lot of quality position coaches on both sides of the ball. The one scenario that would make sense to me is making Joe Brady the head coach if McDermott's defense underachieved in the playoffs again. Brady will be hired elsewhere next year if he repeats anything close to what he achieved last year so why not make the head coach him. Keeping Beane in place and most of the staff in place while either keeping Babich as DC or finding some other defensive coordinator that knows McD's scheme. That way Josh Allen would have more stability at the offensive coordinator position as opposed to a revolving door of offensive coordinators he's had up to this point in his career.

They do they take their votes very seriously and it's way better than players, coaches, and fans like the Pro Bowl voting system is.

They did. https://apnews.com/sports/how-they-voted-josh-allen-wins-ap-nfl-mvp-award-00000194de7cdd80a79dde7c10b10000

Ironically it was Mark Andrews that caught the discrepancy.
