  1. It's called life, and it's difficult even in the best of times. Anyone with any self awareness will question the decisions they've made over their lives at some point. It's not that anything he's saying is untrue, it's that he seems soo surprised by it, or rather that we should be surprised by these things. I mean, no your co-workers are not your family despite what successes and hardships you've had to endure together. People that have to invest soo much time into their professions often feel lonely or unsatisfied after their careers end. There are countless hard and dangerous jobs pout there that pay a fraction of the pay, give me a break. Maybe he's familiar with the armed forces, or with fire or policemen; linemen, oil or gas industry workers, heavy construction etc. etc. etc. He sounds like a child with zero perspective. He probably thinks he's a hero for typing this up from the comfort of his mansion. 💩
  2. Teams typically don't pick a guy @ #9 that will need significant help (Big 1T) to have an impact on the game. By that measure alone he's been a big disappointment. I'm certain they envisioned Oliver to play more like Kyle than not. While he is not a "bad" player this was a big miss @ #9. Edmunds is a mystery to me. You would think being that tall and having that wingspan he'd be tipping and touching alot more balls on the field. He also really struggles to get off blocks and seems to shoot the wrong gap more often than the right one. I also have a hard time understanding why he struggles in coverage soo much, he's fast, long, tall, they say he has good instincts and is smart, I don't get it. IDK, apparently Star was the lynchpin to Edmunds and Oliver improving / maintaining? It's safe to say both picks have not lived up to their billing at this time.
  3. We can agree to disagree but the NFL has historically been littered with guys that put up stats and never win. And Yes, I'd certainly Rivers, Ryan, and Stafford in that category too. None of them are HOF type QB's contrary to what alot of people may think. That in my book makes them overrated. I understand you are very passionate about this but to ask for the basis of a common subject thats debated widely across the league is silly. You can make your case and I have made mine, the peanut gallery can fall where they may. I say he's overrated and a simple google search reveals I'm not in any way the minority here. Go Bills!
  4. Dak is the most overrated QB in the game. I'll eat crow if he wins something, until then... Overrated
  5. And by all accounts a decent man and role model for the kids he'll soon be coaching. 👍
  6. I thought we were hiring the cheapest of the leftovers that would have taken any available job under any circumstance. 👀
  7. I felt Beane made the right moves at the time. In hindsight, I wonder if we could have found a way to keep them both over Murphy and Jefferson. I know we would have had to renew them both, but they didn't break the bank, and we do have the highest paid D-Line in the league. There could have been worse moves than shoring up a solid young DE. Maybe we even do something different with the Epenesa pick then. I'm probably splitting hairs and I'm aware that there are alot more moving parts in these scenarios to consider, but If you asked me now, Lawson and Phillips or Murphy and Jefferson? it's a no brainer. Im not complaining or condoning, just pondering. Go Bills!
  8. John Brown if he's ready to come off Covid Protocol. We can leave Gabe where he's at and slide JB in the slot if Cole is out. JB is more than capable of handling that.
  9. He said "Get Jiggy" at the end ha... pretty old skool lol.
  10. Im not trying to bash on Knox. I was rooting for him to succeed but I think it's clear at this point that he's not the answer. Kroft may not be here next year, but hes more reliable at this point. With so much on the line this year, a little more reliability from the position is probably a better option. Idk the status of Sweeney these days, but I think its clear we need to address this in the off season either way. As for the #2 cb, again we can do better, but Dane has been promising and the combination of him and Wallace doesn't lose me sleep this year. IDK if Norman stays, I could do without him for what he brings, but McBeane will definitely want more competition here next year. Go Bills!
  11. Tomlinism; "If were talking to a guy about catching the ball that is employed to catch the ball, that is a problem" Tyler Kroft and Dane Jackson for starters. Maybe the draft and free agency next year. There, plan in place.
  12. They're already on the Chiefs Wagon. I never met a KC fan in my life...that is, until recently. lol
  13. I'm in tears laughing at this, I feel totally lost without the Bills @ 1pm on Sunday. I just aimlessly wander around distracted until the game comes on. If it''s a Monday night game, well... work isn't getting alot of bandwidth that day.
  14. Time and clock management is such a huge part of games in the modern NFL and running and holding onto the ball is a large part or that. Simply put, running effectively is one of the best ways to close out games. We don't want to shift to a run heavy team, but when we run, we should be more effective.
  15. Dan Orlovsky had a pretty good breakdown of Romans predictability here:
  16. Well it won't be hard for him to perform better than Knox, so there's that. Josh will target him, Duke will come down with 2 catches for 15 yards.
  17. IDK maybe its his toe, but he does not look good. He doesn't hit the hole with any purpose, can't make anyone miss, and I'm still waiting to see him power over or through someone. Singletary is the guy without question.
  18. The stars and moons aligned on this one. Spain fell in the pecking order, Mongo is coming back, so used what leverage he could to get out. We clearly have bigger issues than worrying about appeasing a disgruntled backup. No sense letting that cancer start to fester. Im sure Beane started making calls immediately after the foot soreness. That's the kind cancer that needs to get rooted out immediately, especially if his contract allows you to do so.
  19. I actually thought Lawson was gonna sign a much bigger deal and was content to let him walk and was sad to lose Jordan. I towed the "In Beane We Trust" line too. We should have kept both looking back. Jerry certainly hasn't helped the situation, and maybe Star not playing this year changes things too, but i wish we had these guys back for sure.
  20. Hindsight is obviously 20/20 but given what we invested in our D Line this past off season it looks we should have made a better effort to keep Jordan and Shaq. Neither one of them broke the bank and we could have made some wiggle room with releasing Trent etc etc. I'm not saying they were world beaters but, they were better and were also vocal locker room leaders. I didn't cry about these moves at the time but perhaps I should have. 😔
  21. Well, this has definitely got my mind off the loss... Get'r Done Beaner! Go Bills!
  22. Ok, im sold. He handled this interview like a pro. He didn't dump on his former team & handled Vic's lazy question (& others) and reset that malcontent narrative nicely. He's obviously a hard worker, has charisma and appears to have the right mindset. I could see a Diggs Jersey in my future
  23. Synopsis: The contracts they offered Tunsil and Ramsey will raise the price to resign Dion and Tre.
