Am I the only one who is sick of all the NFL gambling ads?
I liked the NFL so much more before they opened their arms to the billions of dollars from sports book betting.
It just feels icky -
I really like this Bengals team. My daughters like them because “tigers are cute”.
Mixon reminds me of a much better Fred Jackson. Joe Burrow is awesome, fun to watch, and he just seems to have the right mindset to be a high level QB. Chase is an exciting player, and they have a good enough defense to play it close.

Why Kumerow? I get McKenzie, but Kumerow has done nothing his entire career.
Personally, I like what I see. He runs good routes, has good hands, plays through the whistle. He seems like a Process guy, and he’s under contract.
I live on Long Island and work in NYC. Most of my coworkers are Jests or Giants fans. I watch them because I like to talk trash about their teams. Being able to say things like “really? A QB sneak on 3rd and 9 from the 4?” Or “Really? Tell me more about Braxton Barrios and Zach Wilson being the next Manning/Harrison!” That’s actually a conversation I had with a Teamster from Staten Island who told me I don’t have a clue about the Jests.

Have you actually watched Barrios play?
Actually, yes. I watch Giants and Jests games on condensed replay on GamePass. He’s nothing spectacular. He doesn’t run routes the way that Beasley does. He’s not as creative at getting open. He’s scrappy and quick, but he doesn’t stand out to me as anything better than who is on this team already. If the Bills HAVE to cut Beasley, I’d rather have McKenzie or Kumerow over Barrios in a heart beat.
3 minutes ago, QCity said:Beasley will be 33 next year and Sanders 35. How long do you realistically think they can play?
Getting Josh younger WR's that he can gel with for the next ~5 years seems like a good idea to me.
Sanders can go away. He’s a great locker room guy, great influence for the young guys on how to work and have longevity at the pro level.
Beasley is most likely gone after this season, and Im fine with that if that’s what the FO decides. Younger receivers are great, but I don’t want the Bills to overpay for a guy like Barrios, when there are replacements for both of these guys you mentioned, already on the team.

He's an ascending young player who has put up comparable numbers with worse QBs and he can return kicks and punts. You're either being purposely obtuse or, more likely, it's YOU who has the agenda.
I would LOVE to add Berrios. Upgrades on Beasley and McKenzie in one fell swoop.
My only agenda is not going back to addition but subtraction.
At no point in any of what I wrote did I imply an agenda; except for not wanting trash players on this team.
If you think that a guy like Barrios is the answer, awesome. I don’t. Not even a little. I’m not interested in paying market value for “slightly better”. I would much rather go with the players that are on this team, and use the small FA resources available to sign the core players on this roster, and go out and get some quality players through the draft.
Someday I hope that “fans” can learn to separate the real world, from the distraction that sports brings us. How many players on this team have different religious views? Political views? Parenting choices? Dietary choices? Every single human being on this planet have minds and souls that determine their path. You and I are here to cheer them and boo them for what they do on the field. I’m not sure what the view of that field is like from the horses many of you ride on, but down here on the ground, I’m still pretty happy that Cole Beasley is on this team… and that’s coming from someone who didn’t want him on the team when he signed.

... is a good player. You seem to have missed that. Doesn't compare to prime Beasley. But neither does today's Beasley. And Berrios is a good kick returner, for KOs and punts.
Berrios has ...
A slightly higher Yards per Reception number and a significantly higher one for this year
A drop percentage of 0% this year (ProFootballReference) compared to 3.6% for Beasley.
A career (2019 - 2021) drop %age of 3.0%, compared to Beasley's 3.7% over the same period all in Buffalo (ProFootballReference)
Significantly better YAC per reception than Beasley each of the last three years
A significantly better passer rating for his QB on throws to him this year than to Beasley, though Beasley was better in 2019 and 2012 before he lost that step
A much higher TD/target figure
... and he accomplished all that while Beasley was being thrown to by Josh Allen, while Berrios ... was not. Think having Allen throwing to him might improve his numbers a bit?
Again, he returns kicks.
And as for fiery and opinionated, I don't give a crap. I don't think many fans do.
I do admit that I don't like selfish and entitled, willing to pay fines for risking teammate health consistentl, and consistently being on social media causing controversy even after promising he wouldn't.
I also don't like that Beasley's clearly lost a step or two.
So a “slightly” better player, who doesn’t put his team at risk.
But you don’t care about his opinions…. Just like on the other 20+ pages of this thread.

Beasley's a used-to-be-quality player.
On Cover1 they were saying that Braxton Berrios is an FA. I checked, and he is. That'd solve our punt and kick return problems too.
Ok.Braxton Berrios gets the nod because why?
What’s his 3rd down conversion rate? Is he as good of a route runner as Beasley? Does he understand option routes the same way?
You can’t just plug and play one small light skinned dude for another. Braxton Barrios is GARBAGE. Beasley is certainly slower than he was last season, but he’s reliable. And as an outlet on 3rd and long, that’s what you need. That’s all he is here for, and that’s all he was ever here for. I was made aware of that after I was roasted on here after his first season, because I wasn’t drinking the Cole Kool Aid.
He’s fiery and opinionated, and people here don’t like that… so naturally the fans here want him gone. Lord knows his “distractions” have hampered this team all season.
Braxton Berrios…

Aunt Joanne used to cook up the roast beef from Tops in the crock pot for a few hours, then get the Redlinski’s Horseradish out. Dip the roll in the juice, put the beef on the roll, put the horseradish on the beef with a fork (Ancient Polish Secret), put the roll on top, eat.
When times were tough, the Sunbeam Bread served as an “open face beef on weck”.
Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but it’s now I remember it being made.

My son and I just watched “Fandemonium”.
Anyone think you can buy pieces of this seasons goal posts at the Trench Store?

Thank God for this defense.

No more punts!

I’d like to go back to when they don’t punt. That worked good for 2 games.
Halftime adjustments, get it done OBD!!

I guess the Bills coaching staff got the note the Jests were upset about the score last game.
Id settle for a little less clapping, and a lot more throat stepping from this staff.

you put an elite QB on that team and Fangio is coach of the year.Admittedly, I don’t watch a lot of Broncos football. But Drew Lock didn’t look all that terrible. He’s got a good arm, good feet, and he seems to understand to take what the defense gives him. There’s a bunch of talent on that O-line and they have weapons.
They have bad coaches. No plan to develop the QB they drafted, and no faith in him. I’m not saying that Lock is a Championship level QB, but he’s not the biggest issue on that team.

Gordon fumble and chicken ***** call to
kick a FG was the difference.
I would say that the offense responded really well to that fumble. They marched right down the field and were in a great spot. And then they got Fangio’d.-

For all the faults that the Bills may have, they no longer play like this Broncos team. People may not like McDermott, but one thing that no longer happens is watching a team quit on their coach.
That field goal completely killed this team. I feel bad for them. And the worst part, some team is going to hire Fangio to coach defense.
Awful.
-
That field goal is exactly why the Broncos haven’t beaten the Chiefs since 2015.
Your season is over. Fangio is FOR SURE getting fired. Go for it. What’s the “safe” play there?

True, but when certain teams get by with it and others are penalized for less it's not really cool.
If it was fair play both ways, sure why not.
This is why the refs are on the field. Otherwise players will enforce the rules themselves.
They pick up the Hughes flag, and what happens when Judson shoves Allen after the ball is out of his hand? Or trips him after the whistle? Or Diggs gets the Brock Lesnar treatment? Opposing players always have a choice to fight back, or put points on the board; or like Bills teams of the past… do nothing and get run out of the building.
Josh Allen said it best post game…
”I don’t know who the $&@! they thought I was!”
He’s a tough guy who fought back on the scoreboard. Which is EXACTLY what we have all wanted for forever.

I thought this was football? What would you guys think of Mean Joe Green if he played today?
“It’s a tough game, for tough people.”

You need athletic blockers, you need RBs that catch and have vision to get YAC. We have neither.
I’ll give you the athletic guards. But there are more than capable receivers, and even Knox has been reliable in those few TE screens that sometimes have worked in the past. Boettger and Morse are athletic enough to pull one gap to spring to the next level. And if that’s the main issue; then coach these fellas up. They’re young men in their athletic prime. There’s no excuse for it at this level, with these goals in mind.
