Just know…anyone out there who hasn’t experienced this FAMILY, that’s exactly what it is. A FAMILY. I can not tell you how humbled I am by the prayers and go fund me donations for me and my kids. Words will NEVER tell the story. We all read about the generosity and FAMILY dynamic, but until it happens to you, you can’t even fathom how meaningful it is.
I never met any of you, but you are praying for my wife who also loves the bills like you do know her. I can’t even see this screen from crying and I hope this makes sense. Whorlnut from 2 days ago will never exist again. A more humbled, softer man now takes his place.
As an update…we got amazing news about an hour ago. The nurses asked her to wiggle her toes and SHE DID! Praise the Lord! Please continue to pray for no setbacks and that she comes back to me and the rest of the family. Thanks again!!!-

Update…she is still in a coma. Vitals are good, reflexes appear to be good. The tough part is we won’t know much for another 7-14 days to see how the brain reacts.

Thanks again to everyone. My sister is working on a go fund me. I will post a link when I get it, but please just continue praying. That’s the only thing that matters right now.

Prayers. Can we help you in any way right now? Order something by Door Dash or Uber Eats delivered to the hospital? God bless Bills brother...
Thank you so much. I honestly don’t have much of an appetite but the offer is amazing.

My sister said she will start one and send me a link. Thanks again

I am so incredibly sorry for what you and you family are dealing with.
If you can please make a GoFundMe I’ll give you my support and do my due diligence to spread it on multiple networks to try and get your the most support possible.
Thank you
Thank you so much sir…I don’t know the first thing about starting one of those though…

You all are so amazing. I love all of you. Thank you to all who have responded this quickly and to all that will.
I’m out of options. I don’t want to post this here, but I’ve seen the amazing responses from all of you in past tragedies. You don’t know how much it means.

My wife had a brain aneurysm last evening and was helicoptered to york hospital in Pennsylvania for surgery. She is fighting for her life. The only reason I’m writing this is to ask for prayers for someone you never met, but is an amazing and passionate bills fan, like myself. I’m out of options, folks. This truly does fall on faith and hope that she will be healed.
Thank you so much for reading this and I know your prayers will be felt. The Mafia is a family. We might not agree on things all the time, but we all want the same thing. At the end of the day, it’s a sport, but this is real. Please pray for my wife, myself, and our two children. Thank you.

I will not be disappointed or surprised if it is IDL in the first. The importance of the position is clear and as TBB keeps trying to sign veterans. I think they will be lured to the attraction of a 5 year first round guy of their own in that spot.
The exact same thing can be said about wr. We have to get younger and cheaper there. I don’t wanna see gabe Davis replaced with another gabe Davis. Time to upgrade with a guy with a more complete skill set. We aren’t looking specifically for a 2 at this point. We are looking for a potential 1 as Diggs is going to be 31 next season.

Kiper and Field Yates were saying they think he’s a potential 4.3’s guy and like I said, they were basically saying Worthy is probably the fastest in the class but McConkey is in the discussion for #2. I don’t really see it personally but that’s what they were saying.
I thought they said he plays faster than his 40 time will show?

I know the draft guys at ESPN expect McConkey to have one of the fastest 40 times at the Combine after Xavier Worthy.
I don’t think he’s what we need though. More of a slot only guy and zone specialist, both things we already have covered. I expect him to be one of the better rookies immediately though.
I’m not sure where you saw that, and you may be right, but I saw on nfl draft buzz that he is projected to be around 4.59, which is awful.

From what I’ve seen so far, I think Leggette has the most upside and is the guy I’d like most. I also said that about Quinton Johnston last season around this time. As the draft started, Addison and flowers were the WRs wanted most. But so far, Leggette’s physical being is what intrigues me the most. One year of productivity and age are the only cons I’ve seen so far.
as of now, I’d be ok with a handful of guys outside of the top 3 that we’ll never be in position to draft. Thomas Jr, Franklin, Walker, worthy and Mitchell are the guys that intrigue me most. Polk is the guy I’d love to get in rd 2- but we’d probably have to trade up from him.
Mcconkey is intriguing. I think I’m gonna watch some Brendan Rice tonight
I agree on all that. Legettes speed is undeniable. He’s got really strong hands, which are needed to catch Allen passes. He will never get outmuscled. Think dk metcalfe. His route running and productivity are suspect. One year wonders scare me a bit.
I think if we get one of these guys in round 1 I’d be thrilled…Thomas, Franklin, Mitchell, Leggette, or Worthy. Walker is interesting and may end up in this bucket by the time of the draft. I don’t really want McConkey. He doesn’t run fast and doesn’t really fit what McD and Beane talked about the other day. I think it’s def gonna be a speed guy in round 1. But you make a great point about Polk. I just worry about an early run in round 2 if we wait. We can’t afford to wait and hope. I don’t want sit on my couch and watch all the remaining guys go at the top of 2 before we get a shot at moving up. That’s why I think they should set their board with about 3-5 WRs that they would be comfortable taking between 20-40. A slight move up or trade down depending on where they grade them.

Thomas- definitely not. He’s a deep threat. That’s about it imo.
Mitchell- I don’t think he’s explosive enough- not sudden enough.
Franklin- is more of a deep threat imo. He’s ok in the short game but he’s weak and could get crushed over the middle. For a guy his size, he doesn’t really go up and get them.
I think, inthe right system, Mitchell and Franklin could be wr1 like Stevie Johnson was wr1. Thomas not so much.
I think that would be fine though. With Diggs coming back, the pressure won’t be on the rookie to be the guy right away. We need to draft a sure fire 2 that has the potential to be a 1 in a year or two.
Im this case, I think a guy like Franklin would meet all the requirements that Beane is looking for. They talked for quite a bit yesterday about explosive plays. A guy like Franklin or worthy brings that. Who else do you suggest?

Safety is a priority, Beneford is staying as a starting CB, Elam has absolutely NO skills to play as a safety in a zone scheme. The only answer will be a FA and a safety drafted in either 1st or 2nd rd. Count on it
Count on it? Ok. Haha

Only if we take a different wr in the first. Roman Wilson is not the prized receiver we need to be targeting. He’d be a good second guy though.

I would probably become physically ill if they drafted defense in the first. That said…I don’t think it will happen. It’s time to build the offense around Allen.

But for which WR? I see 3 WRs with obvious WR1 upside and they’ll all be gone by 15, maybe too 10. I group the rest in together as WR2s. Leggette is probably the only guy I’d trade up for as he could have wr1 upside
You don’t think Thomas, Mitchell, or Franklin could be a 1?
-
The good thing in all this is it finally seems McD gets it. He talked for a while about throwing the ball and having explosive plays yesterday. You honestly have to be blind if you can’t see what this team lacks and what it needs more than anything else.

What it comes down to is simple:
Beat the Jets, Pats, and Broncos like you should have when you were 100% healthy (or close enough to it), and we have the #1 spot locked up and can rest guys week 18 AND get the Bye in week 19.
And our entire OL has been healthy all year.
Both trench units, arguably up there with QB as most important personnel, were pretty healthy.
Losing LBs in a league that has devalued the LB position shouldnt have affected us to the point of ruining our season. I know there were other injuries but we had enough guys to go.
I agree. Well said. The point is that if we have a defense that is top 8-12, that should be good enough if you give the offense the weapons it needs to make it unstoppable. The problem is…will McD sign off on this? I don’t know if he will be ok with having a “good enough” defense.

KC's d-line didn't touch Allen, either. The officials decided to allow holding on the o-line. Go figure.
That’s a good point. More reasons to load up on offense and make other teams try to keep pace with us.

Or do much to stop their running game, Pacheco's 2nd-best yards-per-carry game of the season and 4th best yards-from-scrimmage performance.
The question is whether we did all that we could do, including, once again, not making boneheaded decisions and conservative play-calling leading to 3.6 Yards-per-Play in the 2nd Half with once again, seemingly zero ability to adjust, thereby getting out-coached again in the playoffs, etc.
We clearly did not.
The excuses provided on McDivision's behalf are seemingly endless.
What really makes this tough is that we spent an entire offseason a few years ago with the sole purpose of “sacking Mahomes”. It’s embarrassing.
Im not sure how much more proof they need that this just might not be possible at a high rate. Philly had the best d line in the league last year and couldn’t touch him in the sb. We need to build this o around Allen and make it impossible to keep up with us.

Tough to blame injuries when our healthiest unit on d (the dline) failed to touch Mahomes.

I’m headed to the hospital right now. Had to be home for the kids last night. The hospital is 90 minutes from my house.
