    Live 2024 NFL Draft thread - Round 1 (Do NOT tip the Bills pick)

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Just now, Dr. Who said:

    Seriously, Shakir and Samuel, who is a plus gadget guy? That's the best currently in our WR room. Beane has to add. It's terrible right now, and an absolute disservice to Josh Allen. I still like Mitchell and McConkey. I'm not high on Coleman and Franklin, though some are. Might be a draft choice and a veteran that is available.

     

    Tom Brady used to get the #1 seed with whatever they scraped together to play wide receiver.  I like Cook out of the backfield, I love Kincaid, and think a lot of Shakir.  After reading all the replies, sounds like there are still a couple of good wideouts to pick... but we still wouldn't have a true #1. 

     

    I'm not sure what to expect from Samuel, but maybe this coming year, we dink and dunk people to death.  It's not Josh's forte, but if he learns how to do it with patience, our offense could be dangerous.

     

    If we get a vet, I'm just not sure who it could be with the cap situation.  Curious to see what Beane comes up with tomorrow.  He feels the pressure more than I do, and we've done better at drafting of late than the twenty years that preceded.  After my blood pressure reaching a simmer, the more level heads here have made me see the advantages to what went down tonight.

     

    Doesn't change the fact that we all stayed up too late!  Hoping we have great picks to celebrate tomorrow (guess that's tonight, now).  Catch you guys for Round 2.

    Thanks for the commentary guys, after catching up and reading everything (board melted down as soon as the KC trade was announced and again after the 32/33 trade) I am off the ledge.  I absolutely HATE trading with the Chefs for ANY reason, assuming we'll get fleeced again.  I'm just a fan, not an analyst or draft value junkie, so emotion is all I've got.  Just stayed up all night for a trade with our nemesis where they get the fastest man alive and no new players to get excited about.  

     

    I do trust Beane to fill out the roster and I think Allen is at that point in his career where he can work with the receivers he's got.  But I'll tell you what... about an hour ago, I could relate to this guy:

    Von Miller Earned $3m a Tackle (Approx)

    When the Chefs got the ball just before the half with 30 seconds to go, Miller made the play on that screen that normally goes for 30 yards or more.  Rare offensive holding call negated the play and they kneeled out the half, but I don't think they do that if Miller doesn't make that tackle / flag thrown.

     

    When he got hurt and talked about helping with coaching, I got excited... but I've not seen much in the way of improvement with the group.  We desperately need a terror coming off the edge, hoping Miller can be that again next year.  To my eye, he got better week by week and I agree... his best two games were the playoffs.

    They took the tree down and I was forced to move the ornament. 

    Whew!  I'm glad to know it was your ornament.  For a while, I thought it was mine!  Similar story as yours, and was hesitant to take down the tree as I didn't want to jinx anything.  I removed the ornament around the third quarter of the Wild Card playoff game - during which Pittsburgh pulled within a touchdown - and I promptly replaced the ornament and got us through.

     

    But the tree came down before the Chefs game and I was blaming myself.  Thanks for setting the record straight!  :D

    Divisional Playoffs - Chiefs at Bills - Post game thread

    They were able to take advantage of our M.A.S.H. unit defense.  The boys may not have gotten it done this year but 27 other teams went home first.  I'm proud of them for going on a memorable tear... like the rest of you, sick of losing to the Chefs.

     

    Kansas City has come out on top the first three times in the playoffs, but that is going to change.  Allen is just too good, and along with Kincaid, Cook, and Shakir, we've got a great young core.  Waiting to see what Beane comes up with this offseason to fix our defense and kicking game.  Need to hit a homerun at wideout as well.

    Ok I'm pissed so I'm going to ask if there's anyone who really thinks we can pull this off. I need some optimism

    We've moved the ball at will, just not finishing drives.  Get the ball back, score, and it's 0-0 again.

     

    In Josh I trust.  :D  He's going to hit Diggs for another big play at some point.

    Maybe cuz we've already lost at least 2 of those 5 teams?

    I get where you're coming from but c'mon... those Jets and Jags games were hardly convincing wins, at least to me.

     

    The Jets have a great defense but I expect a different outcome in the rematch.  If you think the Jags are better after that London crap, where the opponent got a home game (despite the pumped in noise) and we lost a couple of star players early, we'll just have to agree to disagree.  They're good and playing solid ball right now, but what will anyone say if they lose four of their next six?  Could happen.

     

    I like our team.  They aren't World beaters right now, but I'm so happy to have a QB that gives us a chance to win every week.  On top of that, we've got Diggs, Kincaid (please use him more), and Cook.  The team is going through a tough stretch right now, on that we agree.  I just think this league is so week to week, we shouldn't be on the ledge just yet.

    Does the rest of season really matter at this point? Bills are no better than the 10th best team in the AFC. Am I wrong? How do the Bills crack the top 5 and make the playoffs?

     

    We've got ten games to go.  Lots can... and will... happen.  I don't see how we're thinking our team is worse than the Jags, Jets, Chargers, Steelers, and Browns.  Even the Bengals have been ordinary this year.  I don't see Baltimore and Miami has unbeatable, however good they are.  Kansas City is the team to beat, but there's still a lot of room to make the playoffs.  I just hope we're playing our best ball of the year in the second half.  Our offense will have to carry the load, and I understand we haven't had much to get too excited about lately.  I believe it will get better.
