Well done! I have no idea what you do or did for a living but I’m glued to these posts every year. Your research and writing style are both top notch! I’m not going to comment on the specific picks or order but I’d love your comments on the overall trends and tendencies in this year’s draft class. For example there are no RBs or LBs in the first round. Is that because of the college class or do you just think the League has evolved away from them? PS: Even though I said I wouldn’t comment, I did my graduate work at USC so watch them pretty consistently. Their defense has been beyond TERRIBLE for the last few years so if Beane can find an actual NFL starter amongst those totally inept losers he gets my vote as Genius of the Decade!

With the relentless hunt for quality coaching, especially in the Rooney Rule era, I’m frankly a bit shocked we haven’t heard his name mentioned way more often in the past few weeks.

I find these discussions very interesting. Very few folks on here want to keep Epenesa because they’re certain he’ll get a big pay bump from some other team….yet somehow they don’t think the same thing is true for the quality and pay scale that applies to guys from the other 31 teams. Now, I’m not saying they should get into a bidding war for Epenesa but I’m also not convinced the rest of the league wants to either.

Thats where we differ I guess. Football has evolved into a possession game. You can see it with Mahomes and Kelce. Just keep the ball, pick up the first downs, and if it’s close you go for it on fourth down. Keep the chains moving and for goodness sake’s do NOT give the ball back to your opponent. I’m not a huge fan on this newest evolution because it’s become akin to the NBA but if that’s what the league has become, let’s be REALLY good at it.

You get a tall, big bodied WR and you use him as your first down safety blanket for your tall, big bodied QB. The kid runs out five yards, turns around and Josh tosses it up high, where the kid comes down with it like a rebound. Move the chains, over and over again.

Note that I didn’t say First Round. I’m very much NOT of the mindset that a deep burner is what we need. There are way more possession type catches in the NFL then there will ever be home run long shots.

Thanks! Well done. It feels like Coleman is right around the skill set the Bills are looking for and who’ll be there when we pick…..but I’m far from an expert on the topic.

Can any of these guys actually catch a contested ball? Thats pretty much my only criteria.

To quote Richard Gere in An Officer and a Gentleman….”I got nowhere else to go!”

Ahhhh…Sherfield’s catch in the back of the end zone when the ball deflected wildly off defender. Just to name one.

Excuses, excuses and more excuses.

Seems like an odd choice but what do we have to lose.

It’s coaching. End Thread

Let me go on the record as saying that I’m definitely NOT going to go see the Bills play in Ghana.

Let’s go Lions!

What this proves is that you need a QB and a Coach. The Bills have the QB but…..

The Patriots weren’t in it for three years prior to this current streak.

What? Having the ball knocked out on a tough tackle is NOT an example of beating yourself! Note, I didn’t say that they don’t have negative plays.

See my post above. THIRTEEN years in a row one of those two have been in the championship game. The last time they weren’t was 2010.

Just like the Patriots in their prime….the Chiefs simply do not make mistakes to beat themselves. THAT is the difference….period!

Welcome to our life Ravens fans.

Overlooked in today’s coverage is that the Patriots and/or Chiefs have played in the AFC Championship Game for THIRTEEN years in a row now. This cannot be what the League wants….or is it?

There is NO WAY that dude is the MVP. No freaking way!

When they finally win I’m going straight to TBD to see who we should be focused on for the next draft…..obviously.

So you’re saying the full dome won’t be installed until the second season? 😁
