Doc Brown

It's pry a make or break season for all four of our picks in the top three rounds (Oliver, Ford, Singletary, Knox) in the 2019 draft. No stars or busts in that class so far. All have made plays that showed why the Bills drafted them but the consistency just hasn't been there. If two or three have a breakout season then that might be all it takes to take that next step and play in LA next February.

I don't miss the he needs to gain more muscle threads.

Why would they need a smoke screen if they already have the pick between the three?

Agreed. I think dumping Brown and picking up Sanders is admission of that with Sanders being able to quickly create more separation with his footwork/route running. I'm already salivating with 10 personnel with Beasley and Sanders lining up in the slot with Davis and Diggs on the outside. Another way we can improve is to go back to more of a power running scheme. That could mean drafting a potential starting guard at 30 to let him compete with Feliciano, Ford, Lamp, Boettger, etc... Not really a fan of adding a TE as there's only so many balls to go around and I'm higher on Knox than most. I wouldn't be adverse to drafting a WR as Beasley/Sanders will need replacements but not until the 2nd round at the earliest.

They both landed in good spots but Indy’s superior o-line gives me more hope for Wentz who’ve I’d at least seen elite play from. I was never high on Darnold as he never did well under duress even at USC. I think only blaming Gase for his poor play is letting him off the hook a bit.

He showed the potential before going down with that injury in ‘17 as he was the MVP front runner. He could very well turn it around in Indy. I’d pry bet on Wentz having a better shot at resurrecting his career than Darnold.

Yup. I remember him doing all his offseason workouts in Miami ticked people off too. You'd think after McGahee, Lynch, and Spiller people would be somewhat hesitant taking a RB in the 1st round.

Agreed. Introverted people like Gilmore can often be misinterpreted as arrogant or dispassionate. I got the same vibe with Tyrod Taylor too. As far as the great QB controversy. I wasn't a fan of either Flutie or Johnson.

Maybin, Watkins, McGahee, Lynch, Dareus

I understand all that but I just found the study funny as in they put in all that time to put common sense to paper.

They upgraded their interior with the Feiler and Linsley signings. Oday Aboushi is also pry a slight upgrade.

"The study does not prove a causal link between fan attendance and Covid-19 cases, but suggests that there may be a relationship between the two." Solid science there. There's numerous other factors that could've lead to a spike in cases.

He pry was. Between Luck (2012) and Wentz (2016) you had Manuel, Geno Smith, Bortles, Manziel, Bridgewater, Winston, and Mariota. Just a really bad stretch of rookie quarterbacks. Now it seems there's a plethora of good rookie QB's to choose from each year.

Now comes the hard part in convincing younger people to get it as polls show they're the least likely to get it. Especially in the 18-29 range. Sometime in the middle of May.

I'm assuming you mean the world made this a black swan event by overreacting to it for political purposes. I dispute that as the death toll is the highest since 1918 as far as short term infectious disease outbreak by far. They finally came out with excess deaths yesterday and there was a 15.9% increase in deaths per capita in the US compared to 2019. Covid was the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer. I'm not as cynical as you when it comes to the restrictions and shutdowns. I think a majority of the local and federal elected officials did the best they could given the information they were provided. There were/are of course some politicians who used this crises for political gain and power. Most of them have been sniffed out by now.

The problem with calling Florida, Georgia, Texas, etc. a success is the warm weather there as people are outside more. Also, we don't know the death rate if they didn't ease restrictions. An apples to apples comparison is really difficult because the US is composed of 50 states that all implement their own policies. In a perfect world I think warmer weather states should have less restrictions right now and then maybe reverse it in the summer time. You saw a spike last summer states where people had to go inside and rely on the air conditioning. Meanwhile, the more northern states got hammered until spring time in 2019 as people began to spend more time outside. A post pandemic autoposy is going to be very difficult and unfortunately motivated by preconceived notions.

He said 2018 where the Cardinals traded up for Rosen. Most likely team. The Pats and Skins may also be interested. Dark horse teams could be Minnesota and Pittsburgh.

I've said from the beginning of this that those who I respect the most are the experts who admit they don't know because this is such a black swan event. Those serving up hot takes about Covid or making predictions over the last year are about as useful as draft experts handing out grades right after a draft. All we can do is make policy decisions based off the most up to date scientific studies. It's why I said going back to mid fall that kids should be back to school full time even though the studies showing children less likely to catch and transmit Covid is completely counter intuitive to how schools are usually a petri dish for most viruses. This Berenson guy is likely a grifter but there's plenty on both sides using this event to promote their own self interests even if it means harming society as a whole. In this case, making his followers more unlikely to take the vaccine which is our only freaking way out of this.

I didn’t realize one of the woman accused that she was forced to perform oral sex. I thought she could’ve walked out if she wanted. If her accusation is true, I take it all back. Vick will always be a POS though.

With the 1st pick in the 2022 NFL draft the Panthers select...

There'd be no disincentive to be careless with the ball (either when diving for the pylon or leaping over the pile stretching the ball trying to break the plain of the end zone). Offenses don't need another advantage over the defense. The one easy change I'd suggest is the opposing offense would get the ball where it was fumbled before going into the end zone. Being backed up at the one yard line is obviously more difficult than starting at your own 20.

If true, as awful as that is at least they can live to talk about it and probably get compensated. The dogs on the other hand........

Disagree but I'm a dog person. Betting on two dogs fighting to the death is pretty sick. Hanging, electrocuting, and drowning dogs deemed not aggressive enough is pretty appalling. I'm not downplaying him putting these women in extremely uncomfortable situations but there's been no accusations of rape to the best of my knowledge.

Any coach that instructs his team to fumble the oddly shaped leather ball that bounces unpredictably out of bounds at the one yard line when going down should be fired on the spot. It's a weak argument.
