  1. Agreed I've no idea how fast he is now. I think he definitely improves the te group and possibly by a lot. We 'll see, I have a good feeling this works out really well.
  2. They said he was the most complete tight end prospect in a decade when he was drafted at #18. Hasn't shown it yet, but just maybe Buffalo and Josh Allen will be the key to unlocking all that talent. 250lbs and faster than Singletary, Moss, Davis,(much faster than McKissic😂) and almost as fast as Beasley. He and Knox down the middle will be matchup nightmares and keep safeties occupied.
  3. Dodged a bullet there😅 Dude was so slow and only broke one tackle all year long 4.59 at 185 lbs, Bills have multiple 250lb guys faster than that😛
  4. Comp picks should be 5th round at the earliest imo, extra 3rd round picks are far too valuable.
  5. Nothing against Mckissic but his volume was merely a result of their bad offense. He caught a ton of passes at the line of scrimmage because of their lame quarterbacking. It's not like he was out running great routes. To his credit he did a good job with those opportunities.
  6. Agree. A guy who avgd 8 yards after the catch is definitely a weapon. I could have phrased it better but I was referring to his less than dangerous speed. I'm glad they got him, Singletary's receiving was improved but a solid pass catching back is good to have.
  7. Undrafted out of college, elusive but slow for his size (4.59 40). He was mostly used as a checkdown dumpoff at the line of scrimmage. This past season his average depth of target was .4 yards, basically at the line. He was good with the ball in his hands, averaging over 8 yds after the catch. A good steady role player, but definitely not a dangerous weapon.
  8. 34 years old coming off a middle of the pack season. He'll help but I don't see a whole lot to be excited about. Would be better if he had some young talent to mentor while here. This is a patch for a year, doesn't solve anything but a lot better than nothing. Glowinski is 4 years younger and playing better, Giants will have him for a few years to come at a reasonable rate. I was hoping for something more than a fading veteran for a year, especially considering the Bills have no young talent at the position. That means a lot, right? Last year was not his best season as a pro. He was above average at best. The Pro Bowl designation is a joke. The Bills Pro Bowl linebacker is one of the weakest players on their defense.
  9. I don't underestimate the impact NYC has on the state's economy, I just think saying the rest of the state is on par with WV and NM is a pretty big exaggeration.
  10. We would dive out of the Cargill grain elevator's ~60 ft window into Lake Erie at the foot of Tifft street. The water was pretty disgusting there. A friend and I each did a 1 1/2 off the high tower at Sherkston quarry in Canada, also around 60 ft I think. In the spring after the blizzard of 77 we rode giant icebergs down Caz Creek when the ice started to flow. Insanely stupid and dangerous. I'm amazed I survived my crazy South Buffalo childhood.
  11. He is still great and will get some good offers no doubt. He might not be looking for the highest offer though, a shot at winning another title could be a higher priority.
  12. Engram has 31 dropped passes over his first 5 years, most in the league in that time I believe. His 4.43 speed at 240 lbs is so enticing, kind of like Edmunds incredible potential, but if you aren't catching the ball .....
  13. It not a huge market but people can place bets on certain sites for WWE matches.
  14. Really? The NFLs lawyers while defending a lawsuit in court claimed that the league was purely 'sports entertainment', not unlike the WWE. So much for the sanctity of the results. "I know a lot of people don't want to hear this, but the NFL went to court, and legally said themselves the NFL is not a sport. It is in fact an entertainment business." 'The NFL is a private business so it is entirely legal for it to pre-determine the outcome of its games, just as the WWE does. Ultimately, it need be no different than a scripted television series or movie.' 'Since the NFL argues that they are "entertainment" , than they are in charge of the outcome of their own games and can "produce" their television product' 'Entertainment not Sport' Your sanctity of results is an illusion that people don't want to look at very closely, like many widely accepted things in society. Most people would rather continue pretending than know the truth about things they don't want to admit.
  15. Advanced receiving stats at Pro Football Reference https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2021/receiving_advanced.htm Passer rating when targeted is simply the total results of Beasley's targets using whatever the passer rating formula is. I think he's still good enough to play a couple more years. I just think because of a combination of many factors it won't be on the Bills. I don't see it as any major loss either at this point in his career. He had a good career resurgence in Buffalo and I think it was a good move for both sides. Time to move on imo.
  16. His first down %/trgt is the lowest among all Bills wrs. Allen's passer rating when targeting Beasley is the lowest among all Bills wrs. He'll be 33 this year. Goodbye Cole
  17. I don't follow the Cowboys at all so I don't know anything about Cooper's effort or love for the game. I have seen him absolutely dominate a few games over the last few years. I've also seen him completely disappear at times. A 6'2" 210lb outside wr with 4.43 speed is definitely something the Bills need.
  18. He won't have a contract to restructure if he's released. He'll be free to sign with any team for whatever amount.
  19. I think the college version is basically fair. The NFL could improve upon it by starting possessions at midfield so fgs aren't a given and 2 pt tries after every TD to break tie quicker.
  20. I'm hoping for someone to contribute right away. Filling a position of need would be nice if it aligns well with best player available. I didn't see him listed but if Kenyon Green Texas A&M G/T is there at 25 that would be my pick. I'm okay with them moving down for more picks in the 2nd 3rd or 4th. I'm thinking that is where this drafts' value is, the first round is not real impressive value wise imo.
  21. Hard to believe some people want that scumbag on the Bills. ***** him, he should harassed out of Buffalo every time he visits. His elbow cast smash of Tres head way after the play was unforgivable. He should have been suspended multiple games. I'll be thoroughly disgusted if he is ever on the Bills.
  22. The Bills #1 defense faced the lowest qbr group of qbs since QBR was invented in 2006. The worst group of qbs faced by any team since 2006. Factor that into the Bills defensive stats and the #1 defense is more of an illusion. The fact that the Bills supposedly had the best defense makes the unbelievably soft d at the end of the Chiefs game even more embarrassing and weak. The numbers said #1 defense, my eyes told me different.
  23. Hard to say when I became a fan, I was born into it. Being the 6th kid and 4th boy the football games were a big deal every Sunday. My dad, my brothers, my grandma and grandpa from both sides and my uncle and cousins who lived a block away would gather in our finished basement in South Buffalo and it would get loud. I can't say what my first Bills memory was but I remember meeting Elbert Dubenion and Ernie Warlick with my uncle when I was 3 or 4. I saw my first game in '71 at the Rockpile (hence the 'Turk 71' handle), it was the only game they won that season. ☺
  24. According to the NFLs own statements in court you are watching 'sports entertainment'. Like the WWE, the NFL stated they are in the entertainment business producing an entertainment product. This is not to say the games are fixed, however the NFL has clearly stated they would be within their rights to do so.
