An emotional answer is yes. A rational answer is no. He played for the Bills for 4 seasons. He didn't even start 16 games for two of those seasons. He never took us to the playoffs. He was never a top 10 player at his position. Just because you like a player doesn't mean he should be honored as an all-time great.

Have you ever worked for a corporation? When someone complains to HR about you, there are consequences. Do you think OJ Simpson would get to continue to work at Google? My man, you need to hit the pause button on this crusade and think about what you’re saying.

“Tua ACTUALLY has one of the prettiest balls I’ve ever caught.” Players will never throw their QB under the bus, but that “ACTUALLY” tells you Hill knows exactly what’s up.

I made a long thread detailing incidents where Bobby Johnson, our former O-Line, coach failed us. This year with Kromer, I think you'll see a big positive change. We might also finally get something out of Cody Ford. My guess is that's why we didn't address the Guard position in the draft. We might already have one and not know it.

1. QB 2. DE 3. LT 4. DE (again) 5. DT 6. RT 7. WR 8. CB A lockdown CB doesn't matter if they have all day to throw. A great WR will never get the ball if the QB doesn't have time to pass.

Left Tackles and Interior Defensive Linemen are both generally higher paid than Corner... and probably affect the passing game as much. Personally, I'm not a big fan of saying "these 3 positions matter" or "these 4 positions matter." The one position that matters more than the rest is QB. Debating WR/LT/DT/DE/CB importance is far secondary and probably has little bearing on who actually wins the Super Bowl. I'm thinking specifically about the 20 years the Patriots competed for the SB, or KC, or GB.

Took me a minute, but I got it!

"Everyone was just going through the motions ... there was no attitude out there." Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Mongo.

This ain’t Bills related and as much as we all detest the shooter, we don’t need to talk about him or his family on the Bills section.

Found him: https://images.app.goo.gl/ce1YS3KjzaG9ovcA7 just a quiet dude who wants to chill. Let’s honor him and/or just let him chill.

It's sad to see this guy turn into a punchline. Clearly he still loves some of our favorite players and he had all the talent in the world. Try not to forget: - His brother was murdered during Dareus's time on the Bills. - His father died when he was 6. - His mother was too sick to care for him and his siblings, so he lived with his coach, who was later killed in a car crash. - His mother then died when he was 20. It's tough not to hate him after he underperformed such a big contract, but the guy had a tough life and it clearly got the best of him. Important to keep that in mind, because I'm only seeing fat jokes and hate in the thread.

Fast forward a few weeks: -Fully healthy Tre White -Likely the best #2 CB we’ve had in McDermott era -Dane Jackson as depth -Taron Johnson Where does Bradberry fit in? Salary cap is a limited resource… I would rather get a cheaper vet CB and save the rest in case we get an injury in camp… or even use that money on a Dawson Knox / Jordan Poyer extension. Bigger needs, in my opinion.

I was reading The Draft Network’s scouting report on James Cook to see why he was ranked so low. They only scouted 3 games but noted that 2021 vs Clemson was his “worst game” … so I watched highlights of that game and came away… impressed! He broke a huge run, made some great pass block reads, made something out of nothing on several well-fitted runs. See the video below — I walked away from this very encouraged, given the scouts hated this game. Maybe we stole one with Cooks because he was unfairly labeled a change of pace back?

I’m loving this thread. On a serious note, Punt God has two added benefits outside of punting: - He’s a backup FG kicker if something happened to Bass mid-game (a luxury most teams don’t have. - He’s easily the fastest punter in the league if we want to do a trick play. Looks like someone doesn’t know the rules. Teams can protect up to 3 players on the practice squad.

If, hypothetically Beane was right, and the Cowboys were going to take Elam…. holy crap what an amazing call. Elam was the best corner available and Booth clearly didn’t pass medical evals. For those not worried about Booth’s sports hernia surgery, it’s the same surgery that kept Kolby Listenbee from ever playing a snap with the Bills after they drafted him.

Are you referring to KC, who traded their best offensive weapon and used the picks on defense? Just making sure…

Its incredible how everybody laughs at comp picks, but then complains when we trade away a 4th.

A few of these comments feel like “wrong Josh” and I’m here for it

Would love to see it, but I can't see Ed betting against himself and locking in a below-market deal right now... and if he's not willing to do that, it doesn't make sense to do the deal from Beane's side.

Please use the search bar on the top right corner of the message board. There are maybe ten thousand topics on this. The difference is they add some content other than just "lets talk about Tremaine Edmunds." Pick one of those and just reply to the thousand page thread.

Several of my friends who are Jets and Giants and Patriots fans like him. He’s a genuinely likeable dude. We’ll see what happens if he wins a couple SBs, but for now, he’s awesome and there’s no reason not to like him.

This was a really good idea in 2019

So.... I don't know if he's leaving out this information intentionally to prove his story, but it's pretty blatant. #1) Tre White was drafted in 2017 at #27 overall. We had decent depth behind him. That contributed to why the Bills focused on other needs. #2) Tre White played all 16 games his rookie year. He played 98.6% of the snaps his rookie year. #3) See above. McDermott did the exact thing with a Corner that Buscaglia said he doesn't do.

So... your assumption is that because a third star WR hasn't come forward publicly and said "I want a new deal" ... he's not going to get one? I'll bet your house that he gets one. Stay tuned on this thread when it happens and I'll be happy to feed you some crow.

Deebo missing voluntary practices, wants a new deal: https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/player-news/10711781?category=headlines AJ Brown missing voluntary practices, wants a new deal: https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/player-news/10711811?category=headlines For the "this is why you don't pay Diggs now" crowd in response to Poyer's actions. This is why you DO pay Diggs now. He's happy, Josh is happy, and it was going to happen regardless.
