In WEO land, the headline was no big deal, take wasn't that unpopular at the time so why change it? Of course, begging the question, why did they change in 6 years after the fact. I'm sure if you try hard enough, you can come up with some reason they changed it, especially because they know they changed it for a reason, otherwise it wouldn't be changed at all.

Hamler? Again? He wasn’t good enough to make the 5 man group this year. He didn’t make the roster over a guy who was cut in October lol

It’s what the topic you are posting in is about.

Just ask yourself why they edited a headline of an article last updated the night after a draft 6 years ago lol

I think signing up as a Bills fan on Finheaven or something to provide insight or perspective or talk trash is so silly lol

The article was written after the draft. The Bills already took him at 7.

Hello @Mikey152, I'd like to introduce you to my friend @Mikey152. He's digging in on the "WR's got better this season" topic again. Also, one more incorrect take for good measure, bolded for emphasis.

"Changing the argument?" Dude, you have the most on record incorrect takes on this topic. Literally. (and you aren't even the OP, and the OP has edited his OP to admit he was wrong and we needed the Cooper trade to fix it). The bolded "predictions" were all wrong. Completely and utterly. The prediction of Josh throwing a career high on his lowest attempts since 2019? Also incorrect, he's on pace for his lowest passing total since 2019. Also wrong. Also wrong. Also wrong. Bolded for emphasis. I'm only at page #20, can I stop now?

You, a post ago, "correlation doesn't equal causation." You, now, "a lack of correlation equals a lack of causation." Back to stats 101, my friend. Saying nobody got it right when the GM made a desperate trade for a WR in October is very funny to me.

by being an internet bulldog. Here's the proof for anyone interested, courtesy of the internet archive: May 2024: Today:

Marlon Humphrey correlated with a primetime 21 point loss when he got to shadow Shakir instead of a boundary WR.

Even stupider, the article is WRITTEN after the Bills took Josh at 7. It’s the first paragraph. But they shadow edit the headline to “he’ll be a first round pick anyway,” like it’s pre-draft? I know I have too much time on my hands but still.

These jamokes have edited their draft article about Josh. The title used to be: “If Josh Allen succeeds, the Bills will have outsmarted basically all regular humans and the entirety of math itself” now it’s this: “Josh Allen’s college career wasn’t great, but he’ll be a first-round pick anyway” https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/4/24/17271686/josh-allen-nfl-draft-2018-stats-analysis-comparisons We see you trying to hide the evidence Jason Kirk!

Dominant WR1 and dictating coverage is not the same thing.

It means they didn’t quietly get better. They loudly got worse, which is why the GM traded a 3rd round pick for a WR in October. I guess Beano was wrong. WR’s don’t win championships or something. Dumb trade?

And none of that means our WR’s got quietly better lol. Unless we are arguing the Bills WR’s are better than Jamar Chase

How long is Justin Jefferson gonna have to wait to get in while Cooper, Coleman and Shakir all go?

The folks trying to victory lap are the ones with MULTIPLE posts of “here’s how Curtis Samuel will get 70 touches for ~900 yards” takes

Yup. Things I can confidently say I didn’t expect: Josh to play better than he ever has Joe Brady to be a better OC than I thought he was gonna be the OL shuffle post-Morse to be the best in Josh’s career. tbh, those things make the WR room and pass catching room less noticeable. And honestly good, because we needed to trade for Amari baseline and him and Coleman have been in and out of the lineup. And Samuel has been kind of a disaster. And Kincaid has been a disappointment too. But none of that made the WR room “quietly better.” lol.

Haha exactly If Penix doesn’t work out, then they definitely should have signed Kirk Cousins.

To play

??? They are currently top 2 in INTs and top 2 in NY/A. They have seen the 10th most passing attempts and allowed the 6th least passing yards.

He did this earlier this year vs the Bucs. He got carried off the field and was back in the game in like 1 minute. He's just hamming it up for the cameras.

I don't think it was the picks that did it, it was the narrative of the Bills are in disarray and the firing of the OC. Switch around the results of the 2 Pats games and the Broncos/Chargers games, Bills enter the bye at 8-4, finish winning 3 of their last 5, including, beating KC, winning the division and the 2 seed on the biggest game of week 18 and I think Allen runs away with it. That may be one of the worst explanations ever I have tried to make, but I felt like the circumstances of the team held back Allen's case far more than his stats did.

It's Stafford man. I'm so glad that dude got a ring. Stafford would have been talked about as another "what if" QB second only to Marino.
