  1. I think a lot of us realize that. It's just frustration that we're falling further behind KC. Guys like Jones & Epenesa truly do make a lot of sense as must re-signs, but these are the same types of guys that are NOT moving the needle when we get to the high stakes games. Re-signing them basically takes us out of the running (it seems) for maybe one guy who does. But then we're insanely undermanned on the DL, so it is what it is.
  2. Does anyone worry about Beane potentially boxing himself in at WR in the Draft? Mack Hollins doesn't change the fact that this WR room, as currently constructed, is not very good. We have a question mark at WR1.. Is he still a WR1, what level of WR1 as he clearly isn't the type to just take over a game no matter what. We have a decent slot WR with some outside flex in Shakir. And we now have a depth WR in Hollins. This is a loaded WR class.. It's also one that has Tier 1 (Harrison, Odunze, Nabers) all gone in the Top 10 and the Tier 2 WR's potentially picked over by 28. People seem to think we have all this draft ammo to move up in RD1.. We don't. We have a lot of picks on Day 3... that's not moving us up much.
  3. Chiefs had an elite defense that shows up in the playoffs. Chiefs have Travis Kelce and invested back to back RD2 picks at WR, of which Rashee Rice finally broke out. People keep wanting to compare us to a team that has 2-3 elite guys outside Mahomes at all times, who all step up in the playoffs.. it's the strangest thing.
  4. Transitioning myself from the hope we do something unexpected to a general feeling of ok, fine, whatever. Nothing that I will disagree with. I'm fine with Morrow as vet LB depth, fine with Hollins as vet WR depth. Probably more deals like this coming down the pipe. Pinning our off-season on Beane needing to build the WR room through the draft.. and every GM knowing he needs to do that.. well, sounds like another Josh Allen Save Us type of year. Borderline playoff roster turned into a contender because of the QB. Same as it's been.
  5. I'm not against the Mack Hollins signing. It makes a lot of sense. The reaction to this is just bottled up frustration from the fanbase towards the cumulative team building of the past few years. That said.. Don't compare us to KC. Do we have a Travis Kelce? No. At least not yet. Do we have a Chris Jones. Lol, no, not even close. Mahomes restructure allows them to extend Snead if they want. Elite playmaker. Elite pass rusher. Elite corner. Bills have none of that.. and while we finally seem to be ready to use premium draft capital on WR, the Chiefs have done that the past two years in a row.
  6. Two Things: 1) Mack Hollins on a 1 year deal, worth "up to" 3M is a good deal for a WR5. Special Teamer with size who can come in provide adequate WR depth. 2) People do have the right to worry if this is all we do at WR leading up to the Draft. The pressure on Beane to get it right, with the entire league knowing he needs to get it right, will be very high. All this talk of Allen needing more help and all we've done, pre-draft, is trade Bates, cut Morse and let Gabe walk. I'm not saying those weren't the right decisions.. I agree with them, but (if) there are no substantive corresponding FA moves before the Draft, Beane has really boxed himself in.
  7. Yea.. Bills are in no way similar to the Chargers. To the casual fan that sees the names, maybe.. But Tre White basically hasn't played in two years and Poyer is a 2M per year Safety. Mitch Morse is the only guy equivalent to the guys they have to cut.
  8. Mack Hollins trending Top 5 on X lol.. NFL/Bills Mafia undefeated.
  9. Diggs ? Shakir ? Hollins Shorter vs Isabella vs Hamler
  10. What does this have to do with his approval rating? Trump is hated too. It’s hilarious that MAGA touted national polls, that were obviously going to change once he became the nominee, when diffusing the RDS & Haley talking points that he will struggle to win. We all knew this polling would flip .. anddd what do you know.. once Haley dropped out, it has. I still think Trump can.. honestly, I think he will win.. but he needs to be way more serious than he’s been.
  11. Biden approval rating falls to an all-time low after SOTU https://www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-approval-rating-sotu-address-2024-1878673
  12. I'm bracing myself for real money spent at Safety soon. When in reality, I'm completely fine with Rapp, Lewis, a cheap vet and a draft pick. Give me one splash move/trade and fill in everywhere else with vet minimums and draft picks at this point. We won't, because we're obsessed with rotations and depth, but I would.
  13. I don't really get why.. Shakir, imo, is a good player. I'm completely fine with him being our starting slot for the next few seasons. Diggs will play outside, but has always been a guy - compared to the other top guys - who's taken way more snaps solely outside. He, as he gets older, should probably start getting moved around more. That means an increased snap share in the slot. Kincaid is a future star. He's a TE, but like Kelce, will also take slot snaps. Cook, if we want to truly maximize the reason we drafted him, should also be a guy who flexes out into the slot. That's 4 guys. 1 of them a slot with outside flex and the other 3 as guys who should all see increased snap share in the slot.
  14. I honestly feel like I'm losing my mind. Shakir showed improvement all season and was one of the only reliable post-season performers outside JA.. and everyone seems to want to replace him and/or draft/sign slot WR's... when we have zero outside WR's and the one we have should probably see an increased snap share from the slot... oh, and we have a potentially (future) elite TE who needs slot snaps as well.
  15. Spencer Brown, I feel great about signing him long term. The jump he made this past year and the fact he's still so raw. Dude could be special at RT. Rousseau seems more like we feel we have to given the draft capital, potential and the fact he's good. But he's not been great (so far) and there's no guarantee he gets there.
  16. It is what it is, but Rodgers is .. by all reports- open to it .. and he’s on a short list with Mike Rowe, Jesse Ventura and himself. Hes the only one with a domain name taken out. Again, I highly doubt this happens, but, why the domain name around the time RFK said he decided on his VP and will announce in the next two weeks…
  17. Absolutely massive numbers for Kemp
  18. So, if we’re not allowed to talk about this.. delete, as I’m not trying to be political, but Rich Cimini just reported that the domain name KennedyRodgers.com has been registered with GoDaddy last week, and it’s the only one out of the finalists on RFK’s list. Jets fans are now pointing out how the Jets met with a bunch of QBs at combine and had a heavy contingent at Bo Nix pro-day today. And according to NY reporters, it’s radio silence from everyone right now. Id still be shocked if this happened, but why is the domain name taken haha?..
  19. With what? How high do people think we can get without a 3rd Rounder and a boatload of Day 3 picks.
  20. No, he very clearly was not. Dude plays almost every snap. Production-wise, obviously not, because he was a WR3 masquerading as a WR2, when we we didn't have a WR2 on the roster. Unless you count Diggs deciding to turn into that for half the season, then we didn't have a WR1.
  21. Shakir should be the 3rd or 4th WR option.. which, in the slot, is perfect for him. Gabe should have been 3rd WR option as well.. but we made him WR2. Unless we completely spaz out, Shakir is not entering next year in the Gabe Davis role of the past two years.
  22. I feel like every report I see about New England is some variation of "New England is pushing to sign (Player X), but..." followed with a polite way of saying they hope someone else steps up to sign them.
  23. Ravens were scarier with that speed guy they had last year before he got hurt. With Lamar read option, anyone with speed can be gone if you guess wrong. Not really worried about Henry, who needs a few seconds to build up speed. Henry would be scary on an elite passing team that teams play light boxes against. On the Ravens, meh.. whatever.
  24. Shakir has shown me enough to be the slot WR. Makes no sense to me to pay for competition in the slot when we need outside WR's. Diggs should probably get more time in the slot if we're being honest. We have Kincaid who will get slot snaps as well.
  25. We can get out of Diggs & Von’s deal next year, and somewhat in the clear the following year. Agreed about hitting on WR’s in the Draft, but if Higgins or Aiyuk can be had for 28 and extra, I’m doing it. If Jefferson is somehow available, whatever they want. The issue with the draft is 28 has us looking at guys who aren’t complete receivers. Most mocks even have Thomas & Mitchell gone by 28. At the end of the day, maybe none of that is even an option … it’s more a frustration of getting to a point when for two years WR has been an issue and here we now stand with whatever Diggs will be next year and Shakir … that’s it. We’ll add, but I don’t know if a vet WR4 and a rookie Tier 2 WR is moving the needle much. Maybe.. hopefully.
