Edmunds is far, far from "elite". After 5 years he's finally playing at an above average level but he's still not even a top 20 LB. If that's groot's future, we'll need a legitimate #1 EDGE.

Kollman is fantastic. QB School w/ J.T. o'Sullivan is really good too and The DB Room with Glover Quinn. I would start with Defense as I think it's easier to see the perspective of what happens on the rest of the field based on what the defense does. Specifically start with coverage schemes - Cover 1, 2,3,4,5,6,9 and then dive a little deeper into run fits. From there you can look at offensive packages and how they are designed to beat/exploit those coverages and how coverages can be masked/adapted on the fly to trick offenses into choosing the plays they do.

I sure did. Dominated my league all year long and got knocked out in the first round this week because of week 14 bye weeks, injuries, and Travis Kelce taking the week off. Maybe my best played year of all-time despite not winning.

I think he's a heisman trophy winner who was drafted #1 overall and currently has the 150th most passing yards in NFL history.

1. Diggs 2-7 Pick 'em.

nope - never. The NFL created a situation where the QB is the most important position in all of sports and they continue to double down on that. There's zero chance that the market gets any softer for QBs. If you don't have a QB, you might as well not even show up on Sunday.

He was a good player, but that's insane.

And? ACLs are basically routine repairs at this point. Yes, the rehab takes a long time to come back from, but most players make it back. It isn't 1982.

That same guy who was looking like Super Bowl MVP last year?

Why, are there worse players available?

"We have OBJ at home." This is really scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel. Maybe TO would like to come back too?

There are at least 20 RBs I'd pick over Singletary if cap/draft picks weren't a thing. It become abundantly clear that Davis is a system player, whose best role is that of a dynamic #4 - not a #2. Knox is a middling talent at best and not an every down threat that teams have to prepare to stop. McKenzie is flat out terrible. I really like Shakir, but the Bills sure don't seem to. Cook has elite athleticism, but not sure how adept he is between the ears. His confusion and missed assignment yesterday on the Diggs' screen was awful.

I buy all of my jerseys from direct chinese sellers. Generally speaking the price to quality is great as long as you shop smart and research the sellers. I did buy a 50th anniversary Dahlin sweater though that's unwearable. The gold border is basically christmas tree garland, and the sabres patch sits on the belly like a care bear. On football jerseys the biggest tell is that they print text like "Bills" with a single connected thread instead of each letter individually. Still for $30 instead of $250 for something I'll wear a dozen times a year? It's a no brainer. My Allen Jersey is great, as is my Peterman, Jackson, and Taylor. My Posluszny from ~07 doesn't hold up as well, but it's the comfortable to wear of them all.

I'm a never dome guy for the same reason. I've never been to an indoor sporting event - hockey included - where the intensity matched that of an outdoor football game. I feel like that shows up on the field too.

Yet the two loudest stadiums are open air: https://sportsbrief.com/facts/top-listicles/19096-which-loudest-stadium-nfl-moment-2022/

1. MLB (Trenton Simpson?) 2. S 3. OG 4. WR/RB 5. WR/RB 6. OL 7. Long Snapper? I'd rather see the bills get better line play and playmaker help through Free Agency. I'm hoping they either let Edmunds walk or tag him for one more year while a replacement comes up to speed.

Good. Did you catch that barn-burner against the Broncos or the one a couple weeks earlier against Carolina? I don't respect their offense at all.

Are you sure you mean to reply to me? Not sure that's an accurate description. I try to take a pretty measured fact-based approach to most discussions as I've done here.

13 seconds assumed we'd win two more games including a team that beat KC, and then another game against a team that beat the team that beat KC. It's always been a ludicrous point. Still on to this year - the team in general is maybe a push compared to where they were last year. Allen is playing significantly worse Singletary is slightly underperforming Cook is overperforming Moss Diggs is a push and the rest of our WR & TE group is underperforming OL is a slight upgrade DL is a slight upgrade LB is a push CB I have as a push until white gets back to form Safety is a downgrade Special teams is a slight upgrade Coaching is a push to slight downgrade. I don't see any evidence that this coaching staff learned a thing between this year and last, and I see absolutely no reason to believe that we'll be in any better position to win a super bowl this year than we were last year except if we get lucky and the train falls off the tracks for the teams around us. Despite our talent being more or less equal to last year on paper, we are playing much worse football. The last time we had a dominant performance was week 5. If we can hold a first round bye, that puts us in position to face either the Ravens, Bengals and Titans in round 2 and then the Chiefs in the championship game. I like our odds to beat both Ravens and Titans with the Bengals being a coinflip and then another coinflip against KC. If Dallas or Minn make the Super Bowl, I think those are both coin flips too. I'd give us a slight edge against Philly, Seattle or SF.

Propped up against trash-tier competition that's totally useless in the playoffs. Our "Top 5" defense gets roasted every January. It's a paper tiger.

Yup - and it's also why the team is golfing in late January instead of getting ready for a super bowl.

And that's why the law is what it is, so that's unlikely to happen.

I won't, just like I'm sure you won't. I'm not sure where you learned this, but the laws that apply to the government are to a higher standard than those held by individuals and private businesses. It's like that on purpose. Getting away with a crime because there isn't sufficient evidence to get a conviction doesn't make you innocent. There's been way too much justification of having sex with minors on this board for my taste. You guys keep really hammering on the defense of this that it really makes me question the moral fabric of the people that support this team.

He leads in a lot of categories: Passer rating Yds/attmept Yds/completion TD% 3rd in YPG 2nd in QBR 3rd completion percentage It's hard to say he's been better than two guys that have played at a very high level all year and haven't missed any games while he was knocked out of two and missed two more, but when he's been on the field he's been more spectacular this year to me. Mahomes has been extremely steady, but this may be his least exciting year as a pro. Hurts has also been electric at times, but has had 4 games with under 200 yards passing including 3 of the last 4. last week was his first 300 yard game since week 3. While yardage is not an end all be all stat for a QB, I'm not sure they're winning like they are on the back of Hurts but rather with him. The Phins and the Chiefs definitely go through their QB - as the Bills do.
