IIRC Darnold was the front runner for most of that process. He got passed by Baker sometime after the Combine, I believe. Then, the rumor a day or two before the draft was that Allen had emerged as a potential #1 overall pick, before those adolescent Tweets surfaced the night before or day of the draft.

If it was your avatar is back in style!

Now, look at that happening 65+ times a game for a player over a three hour span. And we sit on the couch eating chips complaining that guys can't stay healthy.

I really don't know. Maybe you can look into it?🤷🏼‍♂️ Also, I haven't seen confirmation that it's a sprained toe/turf toe. Just speculation.

It may be more than other seasons. Sure. But I really think it's a matter of more people pointing it out more often, so it seems like a much bigger jump than normal.

I've mentioned this before, but I'll do it again. Most of the "mid week injuries" come from the previous game. These guys are constantly getting knicked during games, but between adrenaline, pain killers and just trying to push through, we don't hear about it. Plus a lot of injuries are worse a day or two later when the swelling starts. The reason we learn about them mid week is because that when practice resumes and the Bills have to release an injury report. This happens literally every season, just people haven't talked much about it. Now it's a "talking point" on the season. And it is something that happens week in and week out for all 32 teams.

Those two would be at the top of my list. I'd even throw in a player of it was needed. While on the phone with the Vikings, I'd pivot to Addison if JJ wasn't available. Revisit Waddle. . whatever it takes. We simply cannot enter next season with a WR group that would get kicked off the land of Misfit Toys.

I agree, they shouldn't force a pick for a WR if it's not there. However, Is like to see them be aggressive and identify the guy they want...and then go get him. Enough of identifying a "cluster of guys" they like and being content with who is left. Take a swing if you identify a guy that has a good shot at becoming "the guy" at WR. Agreed. If the Bills are going to go far in the playoffs, on offense it should look a lot like it did against the Bengals. Run the ball. Use all 3 TEs. Safe passes to the WRs and backs short, and if they can get a shot down field here and there...take it if open. I know I would like a nice modern pass attack, but with the players we have it's just not possible. I will also say that this team is built to survive bad weather games on offense. We have seen a lot of snow, rain and windy games this era. This offense this year is built to survive that. Now we just need that intimidating defense to match

Not entirely true. I played around on the cap for next year and easily found about $50M. And that's not pulling every lever I could. Now, a chunk of that may go to sign our own and we do have other holes to fill, but there will be money, especially if contracts are stacked wisely. The real issue at WR next year is aside from Pickens, who the Cowboys are rumored to be happy to tag, well the pickens at WR are slim. Not much there and a lot of teams that will be looking for WRs in the off-season. Means the mediocre WRs that are out there are likely to get paid well. Davis being back next year wouldn't shock me. They probably would have kept him if Jacksonville didn't offer him a ludicrous deal. In order to upgrade the WR room, Beane is going to have to be creative....and if trading he is probably going to have to overpay. I don't see any way they can justify not spending high draft capitol on WR next year. And with the type of WR they have looked at and/or brought in (Waddle, Hardman, Cooks) they understand we lack speed. That's what I expect them to draft. Speed at outside WR.

Good assessments. Of course a lot can change between now and then with injury. Let's hope we stay healthy and other teams catch some injury bugs lol

Patriots have won 10 NFL games in a row. Doesn't matter who they played, winning 10 in a row doesn't happen by accident. But where some may see a rock steady team, I see a team over due for a letdown and a few bad bounces. Bills 27 Patriots 21

Seeing Rivers come back I believe they are preparing to bring Joe Ferguson back to out maneuver the Colts move. Show those donkeys how you REALLY bring back someone from retirement.

I still say the most entertaining draft was the COVID year. Between a peek into the Vrabel home life, to drunken Roger in his totally real not staged basement man cave, to Bill Belichick's dog making the picks....what a time to be alive

That includes 7 minutes 45 seconds of stretching.

Nothing good happens after 8 (minutes) anyway.
