Hines Ward was a really good receiver. I'm not sure including him helps prove your point. He was never the best receiver in the league, but he had a stretch of elite play. He went to four pro bowls and was 2nd team all pro three times. He is also 28th all time in receiving yards. That being said, I agree with you. You don't need a top 5 receiver to go to and win a superbowl. All the best receivers last year were sitting on the couch watching the Superbowl with the rest of us.

I'll just be watching it on TV anyways, but it seems dumb. For one thing, how would you reconcile the time difference?

I don't think he will get vet minimum. I think a team will give him more than that. He is probably just holding out so he doesn't have to do all the offseason stuff.

I suppose I don't care. I'm against gambling because I think it is just bad for people in general. But it doesn't impact my life or the way I watch football, and I don't think it makes it any easier to fix games.

I think you need to toughen up. Bills fans are just a group of people who root for the same football team. There are great people among them, and there are terrible people among them too. You don't have to agree with anyone you don't want to, Bills fan or not. And it is your right to voice your displeasure with an opinion. But you are going overboard with this talk of disillusionment and trying to hold an entire group of people to a level of "class" that you deem appropriate. Just my 2 cents.

All I know is that the little he has been on the field, he has looked decent to me. And he clearly has athleticism and ball skills. Has he been a little too handsy? Sure, but he has been sticky in coverage as well. I'd like to see him get more playing time this year. And hopefully he can step in and start next year with Douglas leaving. That would be the ideal situation.

I've always wanted a dog, but I just know I'm not to the point yet, having young kids and a demanding job, that I could really give the training, attention, and exercise a dog would need. So, I'm waiting.

I was more invested in the draft. I did more research on players, especially QB's. The draft was all we really had to look forward to. There was always hope that we would get a difference maker. I actually watch fewer games around the league, though. I used to watch a lot of other teams play and think, "Why can't the Bills look like this?". Now, I watch other teams and most of them are boring and kind of sucky. The Bills with Josh Allen are so much more entertaining. So, that's a big change.

Diggs knows he is only there for a year. They voided all the future years on his contract. He just wants to get through the season and hit free agency next year. I bet he wants to go to Dallas and play with his brother.

Gross, posting from the bathroom!

I like to see teams be good for two years straight before I take them too seriously. Last year everyone was high on Jacksonville. Some even said they would be the 1 seed in the AFC. We'll see how Houston deals with a 1st place schedule versus their 4th place schedule from last year. Jacksonville didn't handle it that well last year in a similar position. Houston has to prove it this year. BUT, Stroud can certainly make the wow throws. That's for sure.

We appear to be thin at cornerback. That's the position I could see bringing in depth at. Every other position I think we are covered depth wise, so unless they want to make a big swing for a receiver or pass rusher, I don't see them bringing in anyone of note. But you never know.

Yeah, Rice might be good. We'll see. It took a long time and lots of swings and misses to finally get a potentially good receiver. We'll see if he can take the next step. And stop getting into trouble, of course...

Joking about the truth? Not at all. The Chiefs are an awesome team. But they have continually failed to bring in difference makers at receiver. None of them have worked out. Are you surprised by this? I figured as a Cheifs fan you would know that the Chiefs have probably had the worst group of receivers in the league the past couple of years. The front office certainly knows it. They keep drafting them and signing them in free agency. Right?

The Chiefs have been pretty bad at bringing in receivers since their lucky pick of Tyreek Hill in the 5th round. Almost incompetent, as you say. But maybe Worthy will be different.

Ugh, I hated that argument too. I advocated to move on from Jerry Hughes a long time before we did. But a lot of Bills fans really thought he was elite. Well, he wasn't. Elite pass rushers get sacks. End of discussion. I didn't dislike him, though. I just thought he was overrated. It was more the fans I was annoyed with. He was a decent player. He just needed someone really good rushing the passer on the other side to be effective.

I guess I'll say Tyrod Taylor for the player. Hey, when you have a sucky player, especially at QB, can you really get mad or frustrated with them? When they suck, they suck. Tyrod was decent, though. He had dynamic traits. But there were times he REFUSED to throw the ball. He refused to take a risk. He would rather lose the game than throw an INT. It became very frustrating. For coach, I'll go with Doug Marrone. He was just so annoying to listen to, and you could tell the players hated him. I actively rooted against him when he left. I was happy he opted out of his contract, but it was still a jerk move from a jerky kind of guy.

Him saying good things about his new team, like he's supposed to, does not mean he is saying bad things about the Bills.

That should have been evident years ago from watching the embedded videos. Beane does his job. McDermott does his. They both report to Pegula. McDermott likely gives his input in the pre-draft process, like he should, but Beane and his team run the draft.

Running backs are traditionally more valuable because there is a steeper drop off from the elite ones, whereas any starting QB is going to get a lot of volume and production. You can get good production from a middle tier QB like Kirk Cousins or Jared Goff. There are like 20 or more QB's who you can get good production from. That's not the case with running backs.

I see people complaining about turnovers all the time. Allen's main criticism is that he turns it over too much. Who is acting like turnovers don't matter? It is one of the things in games that impacts the outcome the most. I feel like most people acknowledge that.

Who? When? I am on this board a lot. I do not see that argument. I've see it said a couple of times during specific games and that is about all. I admit that I don't see every single post. But even if it is brought up occasionally by a poster or two here or there, that doesn't mean it is an opinion that the majority of fans share. I don't think hardly anyone thinks that way.

Who is making that excuse all the time? I do not see that. I can remember one or two instances in a game where people said this, but that's all.

Well, I live in Louisiana.... No need for coats here, really.

They've never seen dead birds? They clearly aren't mechanical. But, I'm preaching to the choir, I'm sure.
