Is this like when EJ and Tyrod would be on the field together? Imagine the possibilities!
You know, I was thinking deeply about EJ's retirement, and wondering, with him gone, who will take up the mantle as the NFL's leader in hard counts ?

I feel like Gore makes it as far as TC, then calls it a career.
500 and change yards from #3 all-time in rushing yards, and he's going to retire? Do you think that kind of attitude is what got him to #4 all time?

Wow... Slowwwwwwww clap for you, @#34fan

No.
But like I said the only downside is less $$$ under the salary cap.
But that's what I'm saying: there is a potential downside of the injury not healing up, but nobody here can know that, either way. My argument is that there is a potential downside of the injury persisting, and us not getting sufficient value out of Ansah.
I look at the money under the cap as a non-issue; not even a negative. We have it to spend, so I'm fine with spending it judiciously, as Beane has tried to stick to.

Answer to what?
Ziggy is a good pass rusher who typically doesn't stay healthy, but while he's healthy he is productive.
That's a BIG if... we don't know the medicals.

I suppose, but personally, i wasnt thinking about it in terms of a blown call away from the superbowl. If its in terms of the season being a success or not, its hard to see bad officiating being a reason. If the Bills encountered any of the above senerios - the season would still be a success bc they got to that point, no?
Well, I'd say that in light of the the squad we had last year, and the QB question lingering throughout the season, our 6 and 10 record was a success. We weren't the 2 or 4 win team almost everyone predicted.
Wherever a team lands in the standings, bad calls can still influence their W/L totals. We weren't going to make the playoffs last year; Jerry Hughes should have had more sacks and holding penalties called against OL trying to block him (for one, egregious example). Would those calls have translated into wins? Debatable.

Completely different situation.
Ziggy isnt our first round draft picks , he is essentially depth and an added piece to a lacking DE rotation. What's the downside? Cap space that they have plenty of and maybe they wait a month or so for him to play?
The upside outweighs the downside big time.
Not a huge deal but would've been nice to have this guy and hopefully it wasn't a case of them being conservative with all that cap space.
You're right about the context being different, but the face of it (i.e. Bills fans complaining about a DE with an injured shoulder that we spent resources on), I would argue, is the same.
I mean, I'm just saying that we shouldn't complain about not getting Ansah because we've been through a similar situation before with a player we invested in. Ansah may not be the answer, here or in Seattle. Time will tell, though.

i want a sack inflated system. how do i get that?
Tom Brady had some intel on that, but he "accidentally" threw his phone in a toilet... it's a travesty.
7 minutes ago, scribo said:Anyone remember how pissed this board got when Shaq pretty much was useless his whole first year, due to a... wait for it... wait for it... shoulder injury? And you all wanted Ansah on a 1-year? Those who did either have really short memories, are newbz to the board, or a straight up trolls.

I totally get, and, for that matter agree w the injury bug. Its been a season crusher to teams before and ya never know. Bad officiating though? Thats like living in NYC and being worried about going to work bc a piano could fall on your head. It is what it is and you deal. Furthermore, a good team is good enough where a bunk call here and there doesnt ruin the season or even crush the game. For the most part all that stuff seems to even out as things play out and the season moves along
Tell that to Sean Payton and the Saints...
Tell that KC about the phantom personal foul on Brady...
We aren't the only tin foil hat wearers out there... maybe for good reason.

Blowhard Coward's take? How does he keep getting such cutting-edge intel? Was he in attendance at some high level business meetings, or does he have Russ Brandon on speed dial? Oh, wait, you say that Brandon DOESN'T work for the Bills anymore? Hate to break it to you, folks, Old Blowhard Coward is playing 4D chess; he's using deep intel from the Whaley regime to get these piping hot takes! ???

The 2019 NFL draft has come and gone. As there is year after year, draft analysts attach their takes to prospects and claim themselves to be experts at grinding the film.
Of this breed, none are more well-known than ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay. The duo sit front and center at the center of all things NFL draft, year after year. Sometimes they agree, sometimes they don’t.
Prior to this year’s draft which concluded on Saturday, the famous pair got into a candid disagreement during an appearance on Barstool Sports podcast Pardon My Take.
While previewing this past weekend’s event, Kiper and McShay were asked who was the prospect the two had disagreed on most over years. Notre Dame quarterbacks Jimmy Clausen and Brady Quinn were brought up in a first mention, before Kiper flipped the script a bit. In a bit of a tongue-and-cheek sort of way, Kiper mentioned Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who played at a smaller college program compared to others in Wyoming.
Here’s a transcript of how their brief disagreement went:
Host Dan “Big Cat” Katz: What’s the guy you guys have disagreed on the most?
Kiper: The most?
McShay: The two Notre Dame quarterbacks are up there.
Kiper: …He hated Josh Allen last year.
McShay: I didn’t, I introduced you to Josh Allen.
Kiper: Oh, give me a break…
McShay: I did his conference championship the year before…
Kiper: …Oh, wow…
McShay: …You didn’t even know who he was, Kiper.
Kiper: Wow, oh… but you hated him, so you must not have liked anything you saw if that’s the case.
McShay: I had him as like the seventh or eighth best player in the draft, you’re out of your mind.
Kiper: Yeah, yeah, but yeah… OK. Go back…Hey guys, go back to some of the little commentary from Mr. McShay… Todd, Todd, Todd, when Josh Allen and… you’ll see what I’m talking about… OK, I had to defend the guy to the hill, the entire way through the process when everybody was beatin’ up Josh Allen, I defended him and here we are, franchise quarterback.
McShay: … It’s not even worth it anymore.
Ah, the dear, sweet sound of revisionist history, when applied to the Buffalo Bills... I'm looking forward to more and more of this, as the pedants... oh, I meant pundits, sorry... realize they were WRONG! #gobills

Knox could also be used in place of DiMarco.
Agreed. Knox or Fisher would work.

Again I said this the other day, but this is the only position that has not had any overhaul, and only Trent Murphy fits the prototype of what these guys typically looked for in Carolina. Long limbed, tall, etc. Ansah fits that mold, as does Clowney. Ferguson fit that mold, Winovich did not....so I'm a bit surprised they did not grab Ferguson. But I think this is the final revamp for McDermott and Beane. They have overhauled every other position on the roster to fit what they want. Defensive end is next imo.
Agreed. The Bills added more free agents than any team in the NFL because they knew they had a ton of holes. There are two solid potential DE's still on the market in Ansah and Clowney (and enough money to get the job done), and in the case of Ansah, we are awaiting a medical update on his shoulder,
and yet...
"We are #doomed!"
"McBeane is ignoring DE!"
"We don't have a plan! We are rudderless!"
(Except, the slow-tards who believe these things wouldn't have the term 'rudderless' in their lexicon; nor would they know what a lexicon was if one slapped them in the face!).
Come on, people!
1) McBeane has a plan! They always do. It doesn't always work, granted, but if you honestly believe they do not have a plan, go watch the Patsies...
2) Without an update yet on Ansah's shoulder, that plan is likely on hold.
3) McBeane has said, ad nauseam (yet another phrase the idiots who doubt McBeane have a plan probably cannot comprehend) that NOTHING IS GIVEN... not extending Shaq is a direct challenge to him: improve and you will earn a contract; rest on your laurels, and we will move on.
Wake the EFF up, Haters! This isn't the last 20 years of regimes... these guys have a freaking plan!
(P.S. I didn't get my coffee this morning, so I'm cranky... sorry.)

As per many pundits the Patriots ahd the best Draft class in 2019, which means the Super Bowl champion became even more stronger. I hope the Bills prove them wrong. Go Bills
If the Patsies took a punter with the No. 1 overall pick, the pundits would call it a historic moment when BB outsmarted the entire league... pundits are lap dogs to the Patsies, @ganesh; you should know better than to trust their judgement of the Cheater's draft, bud.

Definitely a lot to learn but hopefully he won’t be thrust into a lot of action before he’s ready. He’s got great support/opportunity to become a late round contributor with the aging Alexander in front of him, young talents in Edmunds/Milano and a coaching staff that has experience working with quality linebackers. Rooting for him
Agreed, on all points.

He'll be a great tailgater for us
Now when he does that to a guy, AND sends him through a burning table, I'll be impressed. Until then, McBeane ruined the draft! We are #doomed! Wasted pick!
I kid... I kid... Joseph was ranked much higher than he was selected by a solid majority of the draft media (for whatever that's worth). From the little tape I've seen, he is very fast, plays violent, and just needs to hone his focus and aggression into more quality plays. He also needs to put on a few pounds of good weight, but with that new training facility, the opportunity will be his for the taking. I expect a bit of a learning curve, too, in terms of diagnosing plays, but a player like Joseph is the direction that NFL LB's are taking: smaller, faster, coverage-capable guys. Have him learn under Milano, and I feel like he can be a really productive piece of this D.

Ah, you're right! It's been awhile since I watched. Now I feel like I should go back and review them.

And, at #251, the Rams took Last Chance U fan favorite, Dakota Allen. Pretty cool story. Glad to see this kid get a shot. If anyone watched season 1, he had a pretty big role in it.
