  1. trading back from pick 28 to say 40 (second round) the gain is 160 points which is third round pick 86 (2/3 of down the third round) our two 4ths put together equal a move up to near the 4 th round but still in the fourth round and adding the fifth to that does not move that much either...its that missing third rounder that is now a fourth that hurts as that differnece is 72 points...those points alone would enable a move from pick 28 to 24; or those 72 points alone is valued at pick 111a mid-4th rounder https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=nfl+draft+pick+value+chart&fr=mcafee&type=E210US739G0&imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi2.wp.com%2Fwww.draftblaster.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F10%2Ftrade-value-chart.jpg%3Fresize%3D856%2C915#id=6&iurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi2.wp.com%2Fwww.draftblaster.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F10%2Ftrade-value-chart.jpg%3Fresize%3D856%2C915&action=click
  2. hoping for the best outcome which would be a run of qbs like Penix Jr (wash) and JJM (Mich) and OL and edge studs push the second tier of WRs further down the first round...but that creates a pent-up demand for WRs and likely more trade-down competition plus I dont want KC to get their hands on a WR in the first-round as well and they are not a trade partner (see Mahomes, Patrick). co-related... This AM WGR mentioned that Beane is the only GM not to take a WR within the first 100 picks of his draft and that he has taken the most RBs within the first 100 as well (Singletray, Moss, Cook)...the WR avoidance undestandable because of Gabe Davis most likely as Beano wasnt about to use a high pick to be a 3rd stringer....this is the year and damn we needed that 3rd round comp pick...
  3. a pro athlete who weighs 295 could put on 10-12pounds easily-healthily over the course of 30 days by drinking a gallon of milk (mixed with protein after a workouts) after 6 PM every nite...kids do this at my gym every summer to bulk up for football season at the high school and college level...btw how much does Ed Oliver weigh, quickness counts as well, no ?
  4. 1, a surprise - John Butler vet coach was let go - he posted his accomplishments on social media - weird vibe all around- reading into,,,I should be the DC and if not do I really wanna be here... 2, Kair Elam - social media post about Butler - "No comment"...source WGR radio this morning
  5. true dat...he is from Hamptn-VA Beach area and was a top regional recruit, originally leaning to staying in state to attend UVA, but he said his dream school was always Carolina, not just spurning a Virigna school but going to an ACC rival pissed a lot of people off....he likley went to play basketnall as well: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/awards/men/rsci-recruit-rankings-1998.html even tho he did not pan-out to be a star he did make the NFL and hung-around for several season, returning kicks amongst receiving duties...I guess he comes from the Sean Payton-Drew Brees coaching tree Brady, who went to a VA school as well (W&M) and played reciever, likely hired someone who helped him break into the NFL as well; albeit with some credentials. Best case sceanrio: suddenly younger coaches in their 30s are getting HC jobs so if Bills have a great offensive season and Brady gets HC, Curry could become OC...if Josh approves...
  6. Happy for coach Frazier as he is good man...happier that he has moved on as his plannig-schemes and gameday decisions are old-stale and he owns some-most of the 13 seconds debacle which has wrecked the credibility of the head coach with the fanbase..
  7. I hope they do as Babich has interviewed with the Giants and now Dolphins about their open DC positions...as vet DCs Martindale and Fagio got their walking papers after 2 and 1 year respectively)...
  8. some surprise plays are needed...apparently so are acting lessons... over the decafes...fake punts, screen passes (other than Chan Gailey era) and draw plays have rarely been executed well in Bills history I give Daboll credit for running the most trick plays and tackle eligible passes in team history. Longest gain from scrimmage yesterday for Bills was 15 yards...chiefs has several - 8 I believe how about a bomb or two...not just a show-me-one.... with a max protect blocking scheme.
  9. Deep down...did you really expect anything else other than this torture ? or 3rd string linebackers give it up as vet D line underperforms
  10. no effing way...he ran the show here in DC...his defense was embarassing to the point there were in-season firings of his DC and DB coach after the Cowboys embarassed them on national TV over thanksgiving day...further the Dolphins toyed with them in the penultimate game of this past season and it was a mis-match all game trying to cope with the Dolphins offense. Sweat and Young - first round D picks - underperfomed and were dumped in trades bringing back some picks for the rebuild which managment was not going to let him touch. Another recent-epic defensive blunder - 2023 first round he drafted under-sized Emmanuel Forbes - 6-1 - 166 pounds when he could have drafted Christian Gonzalez who was taken with next pick by the Pats...Forbes had 5 starts - 411 snaps - no PBU - 1 pick -his lite build and tackling ability are highly questionable esp for the 16th overall pick. get to the Super Bowl once and you are a made man...he game has passed him by......I think his time has come...
  11. Bless me Mafia brethern for I have sinned... Thought about in May, set aside money in June and bought two tickets for this game last July...excited-hopeful Tried to make it work in Sept and Oct but for various reasons sold them in Nov for a profit - tried-frustrated Took the money and bought tires for my SUV in Dec for that personal Xmas thingy and a trip to NYC-MSG-Phish - the rebound Now that its Jan I stand by the decision, next season I will double down for that missed road trip, or maybe a home playoff game this season - sobering regret I ask for your forgiveness amidst the temporal punishment of your deserved flaming...being a sadist-masochist comes with decades of being a Bills fan However-whatever I will not turn in my tear-beer stained membership card....hoping for the best ...expecting the worst...cuz thats what life as Bills fan is with 95% probability to make the playoffs..its the 5% percent that is so Billsy
  12. much luv for Trey and I dont want to disagree but..but..but...look at our cap next season, there has to be cuts and Trey could be on...as well do plan to play him at with his big cap at age 29 with achilles recovery over Benford ? Elam and Jackson could be the backups...Treys cap does not fit him as backup IMHO
  13. Kelce most times is not the first option, he seems to float-delay-read-react to find the open space in the zone cleared by the other route runners with more speed..how do you defend.. key plays during the 13 seconds fiasco were exactly done this way...and we keep seeing due to Mcd; achiiles heel of dont get beat with the quick-deep strike where safeties play in the next area code
  14. yeah so its a free app with any modern internet TV under Pluto...on Sundays-gamedays its a poor mans redzone as they cover all games with highlights-scores-etc...timing-delay of these is not too shaby either
  15. guaran-freaking-teed: 1. conservative McD + conservtive Pegula = 1 more year of mutual admiration 2. justifiication - McD gets the benefit of the doubt based on legacy culture change of being a "winner" plus major injuries to the D...makes usual 1-2 sacrificial staff changes..invites Frazier back as consultant... 3. fanbase has pretty much fired McD - had 1 foot in the grave after the epic fail of 13 seconds - will be interesting to see if Diggs goes off during end-of-season review-interview and issues ultimatum...keep him or me..but not both.
  16. same with me...born and raised in the 716...moved away decades ago...but Buffalo is always home...its where our heart and soul grew to love sports..not just any sports...Bills football and Sabres hockey...its a Buffalo thing until the very end...
  17. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/eziDMpjLiLG5WZZw/?mibextid=XDzfc5 a. submitted for comic relief b. symbolic...no ? c. Is Joe Brady related to Tom Brady ? ? d. well if you still want to educaated-entertained...
  18. a very good question, I dont think the OC gets canned after a win, but the guy was a dead man walking so it was just a matter of time... Its fair to say that coach McD has lost the fanabase as he already had one foot in the grave after the epic 13 seconds fiasco...but the bigger issue is...has he lost the locker-room... as well...come end of season I dont want Diggs saying...him or me.
  19. life lesson..if you cant love someone or something at their worst, you dont deserve them or it at their best... I love my team and always will despite moving away from WNY decades ago...yeah this sucks and they just make it hard sometimes..besides who else ya gonna root for....no matter...it wont be the same
  20. he is good at pounding beers with Josh and his Bills buddies at Sabres games in Josh suite
  21. well hell yeah were chasing Miami and Jaz and Balt is improved and our safeties are older-slower and as far as corners go..the best is seriously hurt - again - a 6th rounder beats out a first rounder and the rest are backups one of which had to start, one is 35 and out of football for over a year...and oh yeah Dean Marlowe is not available
  22. I would think it would be English-speaking country or where it is spoken regularly...pre-season games would act as research... candidates: Ireland, Italy (Rome)... Hawaii, Australia
  23. very good, very funny, makes me wonder if they rely on writers or is this all within the retired qb room or not ? OT: Man does Reese works for me on so many levels starting with looks, personality, humor
  24. this about as much insight as we can expect from an interview, proof is that there is a Bills rep putting the kibosh on the Shorter response as Josh was about to go deep...I also sense a seismic change in Josh, given his jettison of long-time smokeshow party/galpal Brittany W in favor of the more cereral/subdued Hailee and the fasting more pooping lifestyle changes he has made..if anyone has Brittany contact info pls pass along as I got Eagles tix at MSG next week and have an extra.
