that guy will need to buy the seat next to him and keep it empty. How are most of the fans going to fit in those little seats?I was less concerned about the guy himself, and more concerned about picturing myself sitting next to the average sized dude.

These seats confirm my greatest fear. I was hoping for a modern stadium with comfortable seats, a wide concourse, easily accessible bathrooms, and good concessions. If these seats are an indication, we might see more of a “basic model” stadium that doesn’t do much to upgrade the experience.

Prime Flutie for me and I don't know that it's really close. Fitz is a distant second.
Flutie could make magic happen, I'd prefer having a wildcard backup QB who can make plays out of nothing when things break down over a gunslinger like Fitz.
Fitz was better served as a placeholder QB before teams found their real franchise QB. He was fun to watch, but could be a turnover machine. It’s the exact opposite of what a Super Bowl contender needs out of a backup. Fitz could win games, but also lose them.
I liked Fitz, but my unpopular belief has always been that Fitz didn’t play smart football in big moments. The guy didn’t know when to stop forcing the ball. That’s not what I want from a backup.

This isn't going to end well is it?
I never thought a grumpy 73 year old coach coming out of retirement to a mediocre college program would work. College is a completely different game, and Belichick wasn’t even a good NFL GM. I can’t see him becoming a good recruiter. In a strange way, these distractions will give him an excuse if he fails.

Reputation?
She does know that he's a cheater, right?
Seriously, all this talk about Belichick’s legacy is hilarious to me. He’s never gone about things in a dignified way. The dude just won enough for all to be forgotten.

Sounds good, but I don’t remotely understand the back story.

A home game against the Giants where there was heavy rain that started after the first quarter with the temperature right around freezing. I don't know the year or date (late 2000's) maybe. but I remember I was so cold that my brother and I drove home in only our boxers with the heat on high because our clothes were drenched. Once your clothes get wet in that weather you're screwed. The Bills lost the game of course after getting up on them early.
I randomly have a good recall game of that game as well. It stands out as one of those classic drought era moments that signified how bad this team was for so long. If I recall correctly, I think future Bills great Kawika Mitchell had a pick six or fumble recovery TD for the Giants.

On paper: Baltimore
On the field: KC
I will always have pause with Baltimore always because their strengths match up ideally against us, but we beat them far more than they beat us.
Meanwhile, we have KC on a knife’s edge every year, even on their weak years, and while we get them in the regular season, the playoffs haven’t fallen our way yet.
This is the year.
Lamar Jackson isn’t very good in the playoffs, and that’s been the difference. The Ravens would have beat us in the playoffs if Jackson didn’t hand us the game. I think that’s why it looks bad on paper, but we succeed in real life. Mahomes always shows up against us unlike Jackson.

Flame away at me for being a grumpy old man. I just long for the days when football wasn’t about coaches and players significant others.

meh.
it wasn’t on the table at Starbucks
at some point basically none of us are immaculate with physical data security within our homes.
it surely wasn’t ideal but it’s rarely perfect
Absolutely, I think a lot of people are overestimating how secure most people/organizations are with their data. The average person isn’t a tech nerd, and doesn’t even think about the stuff. We just happen to live in an era where that can have serious consequences. The prank wasn’t the greatest look, but at the end of the day this is just football. There’s a lot more important data out there.

Start is such a weird way to evaluate it on this “everybody eats” group. Last year, Hollins was behind Samuel, Coleman, Shakir and Cooper once he got here. I bet he played as many or more snaps than all receivers with the possible exception of Shakir. It’s a ROLE not a spot on the depth chart that the Bills missed on. They missed on a slew of sub 4.4 40 guys that could have done that. Now, they’ll try it with Prather who I don’t believe is the guy.
Here is the list of guys after 30 that I believe could have done that: Burden, Noel, TeSlaa, Kyle Williams, Savion Williams, Tai Felton, *****, Thornton, Arian Smith, Lane, Royals, Watkins, Lambert-Smith, Horton and Tez Johnson. Obviously, they all aren’t equal but that’s a list of fast guys that can stretch the field drafted after 30. There are others as well that can maybe do it including Prather. The frustration from me is it isn’t one guy that they missed on. There were lots of options to fill that role.
Great post, this isn’t about finding the next Jerry Rice. That seems to be what some argue. This is about finding a receiver who can get separation. That’s something we don’t currently have on the roster, but is obviously an important element of an offense. A player who can get separation is going to contribute with Josh Allen QB. We just don’t know what that looks like because we have yet to see it.

I gave it a B. There were a lot of positives along with some question marks. The Hawes pick dropped it from a B+ because that one confused me. I like the idea of someone with athletic upside in that spot. Plenty of fifth round skill position players have gone on to great careers. A pure blocking tight end with very little athletic ability is someone I’m finding in the seventh round, or as an UDFA. Sometimes McBeane fall a little too in love with their philosophy.

Another dagger as LeQuint Allen goes to Jax... when did all these other teams smarten up?
Allen is a great back. He won’t be an every down guy, but he fights for every yard and is a good receiver. He’s someone I’d really trust as role player. If you need a yard, he’s the type of player who won’t be denied.

But it feels like most of the day three QBs are no better, and without Ewers' big game experience either.
idk, I think the big game experience hurts him in a way. Ewers had a lot of talent around him in Texas, and he often looked terrible in big moments. I’d rather take a chance on a guy who has excuses for being mediocre.

I was at the combine and Ewers was underwhelming. Definitely a career backup.
He probably should have been a backup at Texas too.

Should have stayed for that last year and collected more of that NIL even if it wasn't at Texas
Yeah, I have no idea who advised him to enter this draft. I can’t make any sense out of it.

I can’t believe how much money Quinn Ewers has made in college for a QB who hasn’t even been drafted yet.

McCord is the new Nate peterman.
As a Syracuse fan, I loved him this season. I actually enjoyed Orange football for the first time in several decades. He was a really good college QB in the ACC. However, I can absolutely see the comparison in the pros. He has zero mobility, and no pocket awareness. That doesn’t work in the pros, but you’d already know from what you saw in Ohio.

We’ve gotten some good players, and I don’t mind this draft. However, Beane and McD have no excuses this season. They’ve got the defense they wanted to build, and claim they are content with the offense. This is a Super Bowl or bust type draft when you put all your eggs in one basket.

Have you read any accounts off what he is accused of?
I have no idea about the truth regarding the Isaiah Bond situation, and I hope justice is served. However, five years from now, it’s likely he’ll be playing football with all being forgotten, regardless of the truth. He’s going to play NFL football, someone might as well draft him. They don’t care about any of this, except for the possible media backlash.

Agreed on the arm, but he's a gamer that I've never seen fold.
That’s fair, I shouldn’t say he folds, the dude lost one game last season. It’s not a fair assessment. It just seemed like his weaknesses were quite visible against strong opponents. He didn’t look like a guy I’d count on to save my franchise against Ohio State, and that was my last memory of him.

I like it honestly…I think Gabriel is a better fit but if sanders shows he can be coachable and expand his skill set he’s got a chance to be solid…it’s a 5th round pick after all
I think Gabriel is going to be really bad in Cleveland. He has a weak arm, and seemed to fold in high pressure games. The weak arm is going to be a huge problem on the shores Lake Erie.
What’s the deal with Winston and Cousins?

The college football landscape is insane these days as well. If you have a spectacular season, you never know what you’re walking into the next year. The transfer portal chaos can change the composition of a team overnight. It would be easy for a QB to damage his draft value by returning after a good season.
