    The Wikipedia entry for him lol: Chukwuemeka Kingsley Jonathan (born April 28, 1998) is an American football defensive end for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Syracuse and was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Buffalo Bills in 2022. He was also the number one overall pick in the 2022 CFL Global Draft.

     

    Without reading any further, I feel like I remember him being cut by the Bills and/or signing elsewhere, and then very recently being re-signed to our PS. Had to scoop him back up before the CFL got its hooks into him, apparently.

     

    Kingsley per spotrac, spent camp with us, cut at end of camp, immediate claim by Bears who kept until mid-Nov cut and then we claimed:

     

    7 games active - 6 games played - 35 snaps - will keep an eye on this

     

    NOV 17 2022 Signed to the practice squad by Buffalo (BUF)

    NOV 15 2022 Waived by Chicago (CHI)

    AUG 31 2022 Claimed off waivers by Chicago (CHI)

    AUG 30 2022 Waived by Buffalo (BUF)

    On his own, probably not.  But when you combine Wilson (second overall in 2021) and Darnold (third overall in 2018) that's a huge waste of draft capital in a short period of time.

    true dat...missing on one is somewhat understandable...maybe...maybe not...but two in the top 3..under two different GMs/coaches ???

     

     

  3. being an expert on busts, mostly womens, on occasion I do stray into the realm of jock-sniffing, jock-worship and just plain..joucularity:

    I also add:

     

    70s...Walt Patulski, The Nebraska LB Twins 80s...Booker Moore, Perry Tuttle...2015...Marcel Dareus....

     

    hey it happens to every team....happy holidays everybody !

     

     

  4. agree...the game prime presentation isnt that as its  too quiet-sterile...lacks energy...Kirk is a newcomer to the NFL and his analysis-insights are very basic cuz the college itself provides energy-enthusiasm on the field and the students-alumn in the stands...the band...but its basic in the X and Os...

     

    Al is same ole Al...love the guy for decades but he isnt an entertrainer and retirement is a lot sooner than later it seems

  5. we can only hope their will be a spin-off comedy from the movie...where Gronk plays the goofy, neighbor who pops in and his NFL buddies stop by to provide guest-star cameos...thinking canned laughter, AFLAC and the bleeping as sponsor, along with AARP...I will leave it the cerebal giants on this portal of enlightenment to proicde the name of the series...

    I like Ike

     

    Activate him and release the Punter rougher.

    yeah as much as I have been pulling for that UB guy...he muffed the Jefferson catch at a critical time (tried to catch it rather than knock-it-down) and now the roughing-the-punter-personal-foul-wtf in a big game...

  7. vendetta + hatred of rivals = drama ~ entertainment ~ emotion 

    you can always change the channel or not watch..but as far as the Bills...we are addicted to adrenaline, 4ht quarter rush thereof...

     

    What does schadenfreude mean? It's obvious that schadenfreude is not an English word—it's German, and it's made up of the words Schaden, which means “harm” or “damage,” and Freude, which means “joy.” By definition, schadenfreude means finding joy in someone else's misfortune.

     

    But there is a one-word English equivalent. It is “epicaricacy” which means rejoicing at, taking fun in, or getting pleasure from the misfortune of others.

  8. when I was a naive kid the pro bowl meant something, in awe of the greats of the game no matter what they did and could not get enough football...

     

    as adults we all know better, and we dont want to see anyone hurt, like Wally Chambers (Bears) see below...and the only purpose it served was as a funeral to the season that just passed.

     

    Now we have the cap, free agency, the draft (and all the mocks that go along with it) to carry us thru until late July...

     

    (extract from Chicago Tribune - Ranking the best Bearsplayers ever)

     

    Chambers’ third trip to the Pro Bowl derailed his career and is part of the reason modern versions of the game feature linemen playing patty-cake. Chambers banged his right knee in the January 1977 game, leading to “traumatic arthritis” and the decomposing of the cartilage underneath his kneecap.

    He had been able to battle through injuries before, including shoulder and back ailments, but this was different. Chambers never was the same. He missed all but four games in 1977, was traded to the Buccaneers in ’78 and was out of the league after the ’79 season at 28.

    I just thought about him last night when I was thinking about our 2023 salary cap.

     

    I was wondering if it was possible that Beane extends him thus offseason to lower his 2023 cap hit and secure him a little longer - e.g. 2 years extension, which would essentially be 1 year extension with possible out after 2024.

     

    I think it is fairly likely.

    right...his cap number jumps 5M to 8.5M next season - he is going to be 31 soon as well- good news is that on top of quality of play he has a history of durability - but of course a lot of mileage on that body...his 2024 year automatically voids 23 days before the 2024 league year and already has a 1.8M dead cap 

  10. its the coaching preference of McD - minimize mistakes, improved execution, lack of confidence in rookies

    Its second time thru the AFC rivals who play pretty good D and of course the playoffs - so John Brown may play over the rookie which I am fine with provided he earns it in practice

     

    James Cook is the most glaring example of having to improve execution during practices and games with blocking, routes and recognizing holes with the zone blocking techniques used.

    rookies not used to the longer grind of the NFL season - 

     

    Overall Bills have been one of the most experiened teams in the NFL during his time...

     

    currently we are 5th oldest team at 27.02 -

    league avg is 26.69 

    Tampa is oldest at 27.44 - skewed by Brady

    Browns youngest at 25.45

    AFC East:  Miami 8th oldest, Jets 11th oldest, NE 4th oldest -

     

    notice a trend ?

     

  11. another chapter in the great book of Buffalo Bills football history...

     

    the great dig-out and the journey to a home game in another state...love the behind-the-scenes, the players sharing their personal scenes and videos, the community rallying around the players, getting it done and getting the W...and the doing it all over again in less than 96 hours...

     

    great quote from Squirrel Winter...about Josh saying...whats your name again ?

     

    ..we love them...and they love us...

    I think he'll get interviews.  I dont think he will get a job.   I fully expect Dorsey to get a long look from Carolina as well.   Has ties to the organization, played college football and was in Buffalo with Dan Morgan.   A lot of connections in Carolina to Dorsey.

    dont disagree, but is he ready for the head job after just one year....and if he does get the interview...and is not selected...would love to see the video capturing his reaction, eruption, explosion....

  13. agree, the D has been good and at times very-really good (with no Trey at CB and rookies playing CB full-time and and with injuries they are obviously not as good, but the D has kept them in games until the very end giving the O changes to win it (Miami, Minn es come to mind)...

     

    nice to see...esp since Edmunds and Frazier get next to no respect or praise from a lot of Bills fans...
