  1. That could well be his future as it might better fit his skillset. I'm super excited about his future. I know his measureables aren't that impressive, but the same was true of Don Maynard and he's in the HOF. I know that's a remote possibility, but I'd wager he'll be a better player than Levi Wallace before long.
  2. Wow does that ever suck! I feel for him. I want this to be our year at last like all of you and losing a player of his ability and character really hurts. I wonder who they might be looking to bring in at S to fill his spot. They might even consider looking for a bonafide starter to be ready to step in after the bye.
  3. I agree that McCaffrey to Buffalo sounds like a real longshot, but I'd be elated if we didn't have to let too many other good players to afford him. I love CM at a reasonable.
  4. Perhaps so. I haven't looked at them much, but I'll be checking them out this week.
  5. I know Josh played great, but Diggs was even better. I also loved what Gilliam did. Too bad the throw wasn't a bit lower! I also have to give Dawkins for the best block when he steamrolled a defender on Cook's big run. On defense, Milano played like an All-Pro. Poyer as well. The entire front 7 really gets the MVP. When you hold #22 to 25 rushing yards without 2 solid DT's dressed, that's as good as it gets. J Phillips and C Benford have been a revelation and now Rousseau is looking great too. Basham is making game changing plays. Folks, I gotta tell you that as much as people laud Allen, Diggs and the rest of that offense, this defense looks as good or better and White returns soon. We are #1 against BOTH the run and pass. We are tied for 1st in interceptions and 1 behind Tampa Bay in sacks with 9. Even just 2 weeks in that's impressive. We'll hopefully be healthier for the playoffs, but right now this team is scary. I don't know how anyone thinks the Chiefs or Bucs are better. That said, I think Miami may be as good as KC and Tampa if Tua keeps it up, but I'm still unsure how good the fish really are. I hope we have a great plan to contain all that speed on their offense.
  6. I'm happy for Hughes. He'll always be a Bill to me. I hope we don't regret letting Howard go.
  7. There should be a 'Steal Of The Draft' award. Benfod's got my vote.
  8. I can't believe Saffold's run blocking grade was so low! He's widely regarded as an elite run blocker. He did get hurt, but I believe he came back. Perhaps it affected his play. Bates and Brown have a lot of work ahead of them, but Brown is a physical freak. I think that's the real reason he's in ahead of DQ. They just want to feed him snaps until the game slows down for him. He isn't very good now, but the potential to be great is there. I'm not sure where Bates' ceiling might be.
  9. I'd also compare deals like the one that brought Cornelius Bennett to us and the recent deal to acquire Diggs too. If we win the SB, the Miller/Diggs acquisions will rank right up there with the acquisition of our HOF'ers, Josh, Diggs and Miller. Signing Mario was big too, but we never even got to the playoffs when he was here. Too bad we had no QB then or Mario would have a SB ring.
  10. We won back to back championships including a road shutout win against a Chargers offense with 3 future HOF'ers at QB, RB and WR. Still, this is close. I love that this team has a better D than the 90's SB Bills too.
  11. Too soon to worry about Elam and he looked fine in his debut. Benford is my early favorite for Steal Of The Draft.
  12. No one said it was a high ankle sprain so I'm hoping for the best. In any case, I am anxious to see EO have a big breakout season. Injury bug go visit the some other team!
  13. "He doesn't adhere to the timing." = "He's great at improvising." The only remotely accurate part is about his accuracy which has improved at anheard of clip and he continues to work on it as he did this past offseason.
  14. This is not the least bit surprising since teams run more when ahead. People tend to forget that the best option for winning is to exercise your greatest advantages over your opponent, assuming game conditions favor that approach. The rules were changed to open up offenses, so more passing, but if you have D Henry at RB and your offense isn't centered around Henry, you're an idiot. Besides, I think the game has lost a good balance between run and pass and is slightly less interesting because of it.
  15. Epenesa isn't going anywhere. He'll be our 1st DE off the bench. He's had a good camp and preseason so far. Beane doesn't know what deals he might make yet. Often, deals happen very quickly.
  16. They dropped Milano from 83 to 81. Also, Allen's Carrying rating is a paltry 57 so he fumbles all the time. The OL is weak too. Spencer Brown is an absolute turnstile (68). Bates is a liability too (71). Morse is only a 79 and Saffold dropped 82 --> 80. Dawkins is 83. Quessenberry is below average too (73).
  17. If your real concern is for those that think they are above the law, why isn't about the billionaire owners. Heck. They make the laws and the loopholes to get around them.
  18. Dawson won the Superbowl just hours after his father died.
  19. If Davis (or Diggs) goes down for a couple games, who starts in his place?
  20. Bates is a backup-caliber player. He could easily be replaced. The same is true of Spencer Brown. They are both young and might be good some day, but they aren't there yet.
  21. If you are considering investing in cryptocurrency, DON'T. It's a ponzi scheme. The people at the top get a percentage of your investment and you get squat unless you can find enough suckers to offset your loss. Just say "No thanks." and keep your hard earned cash.
  22. I hope they fixed his fumbling issue by raising his carrying (CAR) rating from 57 and letting him get out of bounds or slide more. I know he had a ton of fumbles in his first 2 1/2 seasons, but he's been much better lately. That was his biggest problem. They also gave him a ridiculously low Awareness(AWR) rating of 79. That needs to come way up too, but mostly the CAR rating is just insane.
