To call Rapp and Edwards an improvement at safety is completely ridiculous.

For me the wrs that would fit the Bills at 28 are Thomas, Mitchell, and Franklin

Guys that Beane described lean towards a McConkey, Worthy or Roman Wilson.
All 3 of those guys are physically limited for an outside wr and the Bills have plenty of guys for the slot. I doubt any of them will be very successful out wide.
If Beane takes one of them at #28, he blew it imo.

Roman Wilson is the Bills guy at WR.
An athletic freak. Instead of listing his attributes, it is his weaknesses that make him a poor fit imo.
A list of his weaknesses:
Limited physical frame may restrict him to slot receiver roles, potentially struggling against physical cornerbacks.
Below-average yards after catch ability, lacking the power to break tackles.
Needs to refine footwork and route selling to enhance deception and effectiveness against savvy defenders.
Concerns over durability, with a history of injuries potentially impacting long-term availability.
Below an average blocker, limiting his versatility in the run game.
The Bills have plenty of guys that can play the slot already. I don't think he fits what they need.

Oliver getting pancaked into oblivion by the Chiefs OL isn't because of anything McD does or doesn't do.
Not true
The Chiefs have the All Pro anchor to their line precisely because of what McB did and didn't do.
They drafted Basham in the 2nd instead of Creed Humphrey, ignoring their own teams desperate need; to overindulge their dline obsession (had already picked Rousseau in the 1st). A 1st and a 2nd on DEs because they just couldn't pass on Bashams talent and the team had no holes. Nevermind the fact the oline completely sucked at the time....clueless.

I think it was the best offensive line we've had in a very long time time, yes. I also think that in a salary cap world, it's about as good as you can hope a line to be unless you have multiple all-pros on rookie deals elsewhere on your roster so you can pay a group like Dallas did - which didn't help them btw.
Bottom line
Yes
It was the best offensive line they've had in a long time, but that's not saying much and they were just average relative to the league. Average.
I hope they can finally finish their Quixotic quest to find the right pass rusher. They have not demonstrated any ability to determine who that guy is thus far, but keep trying guys you're bound to get it right.
My point, and I first made it right after they drafted Allen, is they should have built a great offensive line for him first thing. Then brought in elite weapons. (They got Diggs and then drafted 3 higher rnd rbs instead of another elite receiver) The oline was treated as an afterthought. Instead they have been focused on the dline first and foremost for the last 6 years.
You mentioned Kelce always being open vs Buffalo. They used a 1st and a 3rd to draft one guy who could do that job.....but they picked the wrong guy.
Another point I'd like to make is that regardless of how many great players they have, it doesn't help if you don't use them properly at the key moments.... Like guarding the sidelines for no reason when there are only 13 secs, but the other team has 2 timeouts. Or lining up 7 yards off the los on a crucial 3rd and 3, which I've seen them do many times.
It's too late to go back and find out how even more dominant Allen would be behind a great line but don't say they already tried that when they are still trying to do what they have been trying to do all along.
Like I said in an earlier post... Maybe they're just not very good at picking the right player, or maybe it's time to try something else.....

They built a great offensive line this past year+1
You last me there. You really think that was a great offensive line?
They were a lot better than they have been but they were average.

So, Buffalo isn’t in the top 100 most obese American cities, this is good. Because of all of the great food out there that is unexpected. Does this mean that WNY’ers are kind of healthy?
They reviewed 100 metro areas and evidently Buffalo was not one of them. Of the 100, Seattle was the lowest, McLaren TX was the highest. We don't know where Buffalo fits in.
(No pun intended)

Hard to believe they botched the end of reg inbounds. I literally couldn't believe it when they threw it to Dante. My jaw hit the floor.
The Ducks didn't have their best.... almost survived it, then botched the ending.
They're down 4 scholarship players at that point, 3 who were starters, so they didn't have much depth.
They really played their hearts out the last few weeks just to win the Pac and get into the dance.
Proud of the effort and the performances.
What was frustrating tonight is Couisnard drove the lane 20 times with everybody swiping at him and did not take a single ft the entire game. 33 shot attempts by Couisnard, a lot of them driving the lane with people swiping at him and not a single ***** free throw for him the whole game, plus two overtimes. That has to be a record, 33 shots 0 fts
O well
It was a good game
Congrats to Creighton

I mean, is he a Superstar? No. Bottom of the roster though? He started all 17 games for the Chargers last season, all 17 games for the Giants in 2021, and started every single game he's played over the past 3 seasons.
Okay, maybe not bottom of the roster.
I was replying to someone saying he didn't hear people saying he wasn't good before Beane signed him. Why would anyone be offering opinions on this guy before the signing. It's not like he was some major target we all knew Beane was after.
He's just a guy! DaQuan's backup, not a big deal.

Sure didn't see all these folks pointing out how this fella couldn't play and it was a bad idea before we signed him.
Maybe I just missed it.
I never gave him a thought before they signed him. Why would I, or anyone else for that matter?
He's just a guy, a backup for DaQuan. This wasn't a major move, he's not a difference maker. Beane doesn't tell me who he's thinking of signing. Are we supposed to talk about every bottom of the roster guy in the league?

Your unrestrained positivity is inspiring.

Kansas almost losing to Samford was no fluke, Zaga pulling away up by 20. Kansas was just overrated.

Sorry to hear about the sciatica. I had a tinge of it years ago, and I sure was happy when it faded away!
It's been years since I've had the sciatica this bad.
I've been building a new shed in the yard for the wife in the cold damp weather and all that's left is to shingle the roof. Unfortunately I can barely stand right now. A couple days of watching bball is just what I need.

I hope so! Stack up great games on great games! I really enjoyed yesterday.
Should be some really competitive games....finished my work around the house, sciatica is flaring up, perfect time to put my feet up and watch some bball. Looking forward to this.

He's from Western PA, not too distant from me and played ball at Clarion U, also not too far from me.
One of my best friends was a student there at the same time and lived with a few guys in a rental where Calipari was a property manager for the landlord.
One day Calipari comes by the property for something, thought he was a BMOC and started running his snotty little yap about the music being loud.
My buddy literally threw him out a window.
You can repeat that story every year😁

Good 1st half, this game looks like it will go down to the wire.

I don't remember Ole Anderson, may he rest in peace.
I do remember Chief White Owl and the Tomahawk chop
Dominic Denucci and the sleeper hold
Crusher Verdu
Waldo von Erich
The Executioner
Eric the Red, etc
Me and my brothers would laugh our asses off watching the matches as kids, highly entertaining.
I haven't seen a fake wrestling match since the early 70s

We've tried that. Even when we play perfect it doesn't work.They've been trying to build this amazing dline to stop Mahomes for 6 years now with plenty of high picks and free agents and it hasnt worked. That's what they've tried.
They've never tried what I was talking about, building a great offensive line. Imagine if they had spent all that cap and draft capital on the offensive line instead, or at least a higher portion of it? A line like that makes everyone on offense better; qb wrs rbs tes all more productive.
Every single year they need another DE. After all the high picks, free agents etc they still need to find their guy. Maybe they're just not very good at choosing the right player and maybe it's time to try something else.....or let someone else try.

After all these years with a below average oline a lot of people think they're pretty good, now that they are finally average. Average isn't good and it's definitely not good enough. Mahomes has been behind a very good offensive line for years now. He is one of the least pressured qbs in the league. Allen is still one of the most pressured qbs, his clean pocket time still one of the worst in the league. He doesn't take a high % of sacks because he is so strong and elusive, but running around to avoid a sack takes away from being able to survey the field, allowing guys to get open.
But keep looking for that guy who can pressure Mahomes. Instead of building your own powerhouse offense, put all your energy into stopping one guy. It seems like a stupid philosophy to me.
I'm glad the oline doesn't completely suck, but they need to keep getting better. There is not a lot of talent on that line.

McGovern an upgrade at center?
He was not good as a guard and people expect him to be a good center?
Has he even played much center in the NFL? He was a center in college his sophomore year then moved to guard.
If that's the plan for next season it's a potential disaster imo.
