Happens to me once in a while on my phone too. Has been happening occasionally for at least the past year. A few others have posted about this issue too in the past. I think it was @JohnNord who had an idea about why, but it still occurred with me later despite that reason. Who knows?

I have no problem tipping the pick because some want to know, but maybe in a dedicated thread so people can avoid it if they choose.

Yep, the order needs to be updated soon.

No chance. If no trade partner is found, the Bills are stuck paying the tag amount.

Agreed. There are very few first-round grades in this draft. Unlikely any team is going to want to trade.

Great. Nice way to embarrass the Bills in your tweet:

He's talking about the Eagles.

Well, the way this thread has been going the last three pages, I wonder how soon it will be closed for no longer contributing to meaningful discussion?

Never understood why some have to see politics in everything.

Well, other than it will now be harder to verify a true account.

Well, not that most care, but Stefon has lost his blue verified Twitter check mark, as have many others. Good for him for not paying. Here's a cached screenshot of Diggs's check mark:

He was a top 5 pick who fell due the injury. It was too tempting to pass on him. He wouldn't be ready until 2004 at the earliest, so TD still could use Henry for most of his contract (who became a RFA in 2005), then would have McGahee later on still on a rookie deal. Plus, we actually traded McGahee later for two 3rds and a 7th, which is not a bad return.

It would depend more on if the team felt they could continue the game. Accordig to Spotrac, he is under contract though 2024: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/damar-hamlin-72596/

Also reminds me of 1999. The Bills lost to the Titans in the Music City Miracle. Tennessee went on to beat Indy then Jax then to the SB. The Bills should have never lost that game. Had they won, could they have beaten Indy, whom they just beat a week earlier, and then Jax, and on to the SB?! We'll never know. [BTW, that was the year Seattle won their division at 9-7, and Dallas got in as a WC at 8-8. Washington, who won their division at 10-6 and the aforementioned Seattle at 9-7 both got byes as division winners, but Buffalo at 11-5 didn't since they were a WC.].

So did Kirwan mention any reason?

Ok, you make a fair point and give a good explanation. I now see what you meant. Make no mistake about it I want at least one SB win too. The two Bills AFL championships were actually before I was born, but it is all I (and all Buffalo fans) have. [And I agree: Romo's comment was premature.] Let's just win it...finally, and get the monkey off our back.

Buffalo won two AFL championships. What more could they do? Sure, I would have preferred if the two leagues played, but it's an imperfect world. And don't give me this "more established" stuff. Favorites don't always win. As I said, the Jets, from the AFL, beat the NFL in SB III, after Green Bay won the first two. The Bills, AFL champs in 1965 would have faced Green Bay in the Super Bowl, but it didn't begin until the next year. We'll never know. Do you give the Lakers full faith for winning their bubble championship, or put an asterisk next to Roger Maris's homerun mark? It amazes me some don't give Buffalo credit for being the best in one season. Either that or many don't know Buffalo's history.

So, Josh gets less than Mahomes...ok...arguably Mahomes is better, but Kyler Murray, who signed later, makes more than both. Ok.

Nope. There were two major football leagues in the 60's: the NFL and the AFL. Both leagues have a right to call their champions world champions, just like before the NCAA football playoffs when the voters voted and there was a split championship (like in 2003, where they AP voted for USC and the coaches' poll had LSU). Oh, and a number of those AFL teams did beat the NFL early on for the SB, like KC in SB IV and the Jets in SB III.

According to this article and video, he was called "YAC" by Marv Levy and I guess others too: https://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/07/marv-levy-hall-of-fame-ceremony "Marv Levy won’t be presenting Andre Reed as part of the 2014 Pro Football Hall of Fame class for a little over two weeks, but the longtime Buffalo Bills coach and Hall of Famer himself has already wrapped up most of his duties in memorializing the receiver he used to call “YAC.”

It's confidence. And the Bills already have two world championships, but the AFL title game back then wasn't called the Super Bowl. Buffalo got theirs in the 1964 and 1965, and KC got theirs in 1966 and 1970, 2019, and 2022 (the latter three being SB's). But SB or world championship, it's just a name. They have 4, we have 2.

I'll take Josh over Mahommes any day. In the end, we'll see who has more SB rings.

I personally would choose just to respect their privacy, but it's fine you and others feel differently. It's just me.
