    Curious if the Dolphins are expecting some sort of punishment for Tyreek?

     

    His kid burned down his house, he broke a women’s leg at a charity flag football event, and now has what feels like his 13th domestic abuse/disturbance. 

    As long as he didn't bet on a basketball game at the facility he should be fine.

     

    As for the Fins even entertaining signing OBJ signals to me they're going to invest on the o-line in day one and/or two of the draft.  They have to given the lack of quality free agents still available at their main position of need.  Should be good news for us if we are targeting a WR.

    I think he is trying to do damage control but it's too late. Remember after the season he made comments that the Jets didn't have a backup QB to Rodgers. He basically said Wilson sucks, and everyone remembers that. 

    The owner shouldn't make football comments if he's not the GM.  We're lucky we don't have a meddling owner.

    Feeling indifferent. They haven’t done anything that would indicate they will take the next step and get over the hump next season. Another Divisional Round loss is probable, maybe even a Wild Card knockout. Can’t beat Burrow or Mahomes when it counts and they didn’t get any better this offseason. 

    What specifically did the Colts do differently to finally get past the Pats in the 2000's?  What did the 49ers do differently to finally get past the Cowboy's in the 90's?  They kept tweaking personnel but the GM/Head Coach/QB remained the same. They just kept working on it each off-season to try and put themselves in that position again and the ball finally bounced their way.  We may look back 10 years from now and realize how stupid it would've been if we didn't stay the course.

    Not to the extent that Mahomes is doing it. It’s basically an ota session without the coaches. He even has draft prospects working out with him during these camps. So him and KC get to scout them first hand and see which fits their system. Not sure how that’s legal to be honest. 

    Keep doing it.  Sky Moore and Mecole Hardman were whiffs of 2nd round picks.  Rashee Rice is the only one that they've seen to hit on.

    Hah.

    I've always been kind of a centrist on the whole COVID response thing. It's fair to say that Biden (and a lot of governors) kept distancing/masking/remote schooling/whatever rules in place far too long.

    But it's also fair to say that Trump's initial response to COVID was comically bad, ending in the perfect comeuppance: he gets COVID himself and has to be airlifted to Bethesda.

    I give him credit for Operation Warp Speed for the vaccines though.  A massive success that saved a lot of lives and we may still be wearing masks without it.  Ironically, the moronic faction of the Democrat party don't want to give Trump any credit for it while the idiot faction of the Republican party thinks it was unnecessary.

    You and @hondo in seattle made the appropriate points.  

     

    The other thing that cannot be overstated is the loss of chemistry on D with Poyer & Hyde both gone.  That's some serious experience and on-field leadership that's now gone.  

     

     

    True but don't underestimate McDermott's ability to coach up safeties.  The o-line is my main concern as we won't have as much injury luck as we did last year and our depth inside will be a lot weaker.

    #Flutiewouldvewonthegame

    It would've been fun to see twitter's live reaction to that decision and game.  Has there ever been a QB competition as passionate and ugly as that one?  I remember wishing I could transform Flutie's brain into Johnson's body.  Josh Allen also happened to be born right before both were signed here so maybe God had too much free time on his hands.

    Has any WR on the Bills had as many targets as Gabe the past 4 years besides Steph? 
    How many drooped passes has he had compared to any other player over 4 years? How many INTs when he was targeted over the past 4 years? How many miscommunications with Allen? 
     

    Dude is just a very inconsistent player. He’s made a lot of big plays for the Bills, but there is also a lot of negative plays. We need an upgrade at #2 and it would have been great to keep Gabe as the #3, but not at that price. 

    Josh isn't blameless either and fans I think are a little too harsh on Gabe not wanting to blame Josh.

     

    However, I think a lot of those INT's/miscues was Josh putting "too much" trust in Gabe given his size.  You just didn't see him take those chances with someone like Jon Brown or Emmanuel Sanders.  I prefer that type of outside WR opposite Diggs.  Remove the temptation of having a WR with Gabe's profile.

    It'd be nice to have a proven TD producer in our WR corps.  Besides Diggs we do not have that.   As of now, the only WRs on the team that have caught much of anything for us from Allen are Diggs and Shakir.  Shorter will hopefully be good.  He's a wild-card of sorts.  

    He's not a wild-card.  He's a WR4 special teams gunner and that's his ceiling imo.  Anyone expecting more will be disappointed.

  9. I just have faith that Allen will make sure this is still a top five offense and McDermott will figure out the defense to make sure it stays in the top half of the league.  My expectations of winning the division and at least making the divisional round remain the same as it has since we acquired Diggs in 2020.  Then it just comes down to a matter of how healthy we are compared to our competition come playoff time.  Like every year, the biggest caveat is that Allen stays healthy.

    If anything I'm overvaluing him

     

    In this offense, being the 13th most productive wideout in the league on the 5th highest AAV is really bad value compared to a good rookie

    Only nine rookie WR's had more yards than Diggs had last year in NFL history.  None had more receptions.  Expecting a rookie WR to come in and produce at his level is unrealistic.

    Generally I roll my eyes at these comments. But this is pretty accurate. Great regular season performer but has he really had a big playoff game for us?

    Not past the WC round but he had a certain play for the Vikings that was somewhat memorable in the playoffs.

    Comp pick is at the end of the 3rd round (97-102 range).  Until the Titans obtain a quality QB, I fully expect them to be drafting in the top 10, so this pick is most likely in the top 70’s of the draft.

     

    On another note, this is a salary dump by the Chiefs…my question is why?  They had cap space for Snead, why settle for the lie compensation?  Their C is going to get a massive contract soon, but no one else looks to be breaking the bank on their team for 2025.  They are going to have $30M in cap space, who are they targeting?  Let’s all hope it’s not an elite offensive talent.  

    They can roll that cap space over to next year as Jones's cap hit next year is $34.8m in 2025.  It puts them in good position to re-sign Humphrey, Danna, and D. Smith if they wanted.

  13. I guess it's better than a comp pick which is what they would've gotten if they just let him walk.  Don't like the move for the Titans as they'll now have to pay top dollar for a CB and give up what will pry be a high 3rd rounder.

    the difference was Watkins wasn’t viewed as  HOF type player. Harrison Jr is viewed on that level at least by some 

    The general consensus at the time was Watkins was the best WR prospect since AJ Green.  Giving up significant draft capital to move up in the draft (especially for a non QB) is historically a losing proposition.

    The most 1 sided trade in history.  Browns did nothing with those picks.

    A bit hyperbolic as the Herschel Walker trade alone pry led to three Cowboys Super Bowls in the 90's.  Also, that doesn't mean Atlanta wouldn't have used those picks they gave up effectively.

    Call me crazy but that seems worth it.

    Careful what you wish for.  I'm not saying Harrison Jr. will be disappointing like Watkins but 2014 was also looked at as a WR rich draft with Watkins in a tier of his own.
