For the most part, not being able to stop the run last year really didn't hurt us all that badly.........yeah, we gave away the Ravens game in the first match-up and assembled all of our resources the 2nd time we played and stopped Henry, but other than that, there really wasn't too many times where we were steam rolled into submission through anyone's run game.
As limited in talent as our D was and as much as we all yelled at our tv's to stop teams from running on us, we did an adequate job with what we had to work with.
Defending the passing game is another story, however.
We always seem to give 10-15 yards cushions, play soft and seem to let teams dink and dunk all over us all over the field........the passing game is where i see where the problem lies IMO.

So, i remember around that time, i was working out of town on a big project back in the city.......i twisted my body the wrong way, got all dizzy and went down for the count. When i finally revived myself and tried to stand up, the whole left side of my body was completely paralyzed and i thought i was having a stroke.
I drove myself to the hospital (quite a chore in that state) ........and they informed me that my neck was partially broken, so i had immediate CAT scans, X-rays and an MRI.
Yep, neck was partially broken and probably due to degenerative spine and disc, however, the only way to fix it would be to have surgery which was about 3 months out yet.
So, because i couldn't work or even move at that point, i applied for short term disability through my union hall, which was partially subsidized through the government. There was no problem with my union hall, however, the government came back and said it's a symptom of Covid and for the record, it is not......and i had a fight on my hands for them to pay their part.
My doctor, my union hall, the hospital, etc. all wrote legal documents to the government to say that it was a partially broken neck and NOT a symptom of Covid and the government finally relented and paid.
If there is only but thing i remember about that time, it is that i was laid up in a lot of pain for 3 months waiting to have this surgery........and i can honestly say that it was the worst time of my life and i wouldn't wish that upon anyone.

March 11 was the day the NBA cancelled games, and that seemed to touch home with a lot of people. Somehow things turned “real” in a hurry. I’ll never forget going to the grocery store after that. You had to follow people to their car to get a cart, and there was nothing on the shelves but the stuff nobody would ever buy on purpose. It was surreal and the panic was palpable. That day was one of a kind in my life.
Months later I mentioned that crazy day to one of the regular cashiers at the grocery store. I remember she checked me out that day. When I brought it up her eyes glazed over like she was reliving the trauma. She asked “you were there that day?” Yes, I was and I’ll never forget it, either.
EDIT: That tells you how crazy that day was. Months later I actually remembered who checked me out that day and I remembered the fear in her eyes. That panic was unlike anything else I can think of. The closest I can think of was the 2006 real estate collapse followed by the 2008 bank collapse. Nobody had any idea what was next. You could buy CitiBank at .50 cents a share. (I chickened out, of course.) We wondered if the world as we knew it was going to end. Crazy times.
.............meh, i get women checking me out all the time and i don't feel the need to write about it.

I don’t. He’s simply not good enough to be on an NFL roster. USFL? Cananda? Europe? Sure. NFL? He doesn’t measure up.
These guys were good and left for greener pastures. Ain’t no team vying for Hamlin’s services.
Not sure what the hell Cananda is, but if you're referring to my beautiful country, how dare you assume that he is good enough for the CFL.
Honestly, i think the Bills are the only team in the league that would ever give this guy a roster spot.

I’m no draftnik, but it’s supposedly a good RB draft. It would be smart, even if they are considering extending Cook, to see who ends up on the roster after the draft first before committing resources to him. Maybe someone falls to them in a lower round that makes Cook less of a priority.
I've been thinking the same thing........let's see how the draft pans out for RB's before committing to Cook.
That is some smart thinking by Beane right there.

I like the highlights that are showing his one sack a year lol. The player and cost is fine.
It’s interesting that they are bringing him in. He’s played in both a 4-3 and a 3-4. Hoecht has also done both and the same for Bosa. Are we becoming a multiple defense?
He had his best sack numbers in a 4-3 as a 3 tech. I wonder if the idea is to make Carter both a 3 and a 1 as the last DL on the roster. Lotta questions on fit for this one but they obviously have a plan
I have a feeling our D will be leaning towards even more of a hybrid.

Wouldn’t Von Miller be listed as a LOSS?
I would have considered Von a loss since Mar. 16/2022

I'd like to offer my heritage of a French-Italian thank you........that's where you don't know if you're going to fight them or **** them, but someone's going to definitely end up with a baguette and broken kneecaps.

They don't. But we just signed a top 10 wr at separation. We need another 1 - 2
Picking high didn't keep KC or NE back in the day from going back to superbowls. It's bad evaluation.
........good point

So, i'm actually okay with this signing.
I looked at it yesterday when the news broke and was like UGH, but the more time i've actually watched his highlights a couple of things stand out that i'm digging......
* He's young
* Has the ability to separate
* Seems to know the route tree
* Seems to know where to go in broken coverage and soft D's
* Fairly reliable hands
* Athletic
Would he have been my first choice, probably not.......but if used properly, i think he could flourish in our system.

I think if Trubisky were to be cut it would have happened prior to today both to help the Bills cap wise and also to give him the chance to hookup with another team. At this point would be very surprised to see him cut.
They also have a 4th QB believe his name is Buschle, I know his wife seems to be the "class mom" for the team, always organizing things for the other wives. I do think unless White clearly our performs Buschle, could see him getting cut.
Her name isn't "Karen" by chance, is it?!?

About half of all first round picks are "misses" even if they aren't outright busts. Most "misses" just aren't as good as expected, including some others who develop into very good or even excellent players who are just not the game changers that some fans expect every first round pick should be. Oliver and Rousseau are definitely among this group. Put Garrett at one end of the Bills DL, and Oliver and Rousseau suddenly become so much better that even the haters on TSW might possibly change their tunes about them -- and Beane's drafting prowess.
Do you think that's our FO poor talent evaluation or the fact that we're picking around 30 every year?...........honest question here.

The guy has always managed to flash when I've watched the Chargers (which admittedly isn't often). Could be a solid fit for an offense designed to distribute the ball broadly but also looking specifically for a WR who can succeed on the boundary. Not intended to be more than a top-3 WR here with respect to target share, in my opinion. And probably/hopefully behind Kincaid as well.
Are the emotional posters upset about not paying Metcalf 33M per? About not having a chance at the elite EDGE guys (I guess Sweat(s) was technically available...maybe him instead of/or opposite Groot would have felt better?)? We know Beane tends to mostly plug holes in FA ahead of the draft. The draft is where a team should be finding the majority of its top talent (who can be developed and then re-signed more strategically).
I guess the misses loom large for many fans, especially this time of year.
Dude, i'm always available...........put me in, coach.

Hallmark is also looking for extras to play a range of background roles, including:
Gilded Age reenactors ,A violin busker, Santa Clauses, Corset-wearing women, Tourists, Ballroom dancers, Christmas formal guests, Tuxedoed men, Waitstaff, Parade spectators, String quartets
Union and non-union actors may apply to appear in the original Hallmark movie. The eight-hour rate is listed as $216 for union background actors and $192 for non-union background actors.
I might actually be able to pull off the corset wearing women.
No wait, hear me out.........if their standards are women that look like a down south trailer park 3 toothed hag, looks like a guy with a beer gut, with a high school gym teachers' female haircut, i think this could be the role of my life.
