No! It's too perilous.

I'm putting another vote in for both Ty and McGovern.
I don't watch/understand line play enough to diagram the difference, but his move to center contributed to the line getting much better. Ty....he is just amazing at what he does. He is a back up running back, might be the fastest guy on the team, and might have the best hands on the team.
Fun Fact: The Buffalo Bills website still lists Amari Cooper as second string behind Mack Hollins. Not sure what is going on there.

Yes. When he's on the field he's clearly making an impact. Obviously. You're being stubborn if you don't think so.
He played 14 snaps against the Jets. In those 14 snaps he had a sack, a QB hit, and one TFL between his 2 tackles.
Against Kansas City in the biggest game of the season he did the exact same thing.
He's played 35% of snaps this season and in the snaps he's actually on the field you can feel his impact in almost every game he's played.
He's obviously not living up to his Contract and isn't Prime Von Miller, but he's MUCH more impactful than you insisted he would be in the offseason.

At this point, I consider him a powerplay specialist. Imagine a forward that only played 5-6 minutes a night, but was on the first line powerplay unit. His total stat numbers will never compare to your best first liners. He is not out there enough so the total stats will look bad and the contract will look bad, but a guy that scores on the powerplay can win you a playoff series.
If we win the Superbowl and Von has 3 sacks and a bunch of pressures in the playoffs while playing 15 snaps a game...he'll be a great signing.

I remember Jimmy Johnson saying he saw a play during an interview in the Bills 4th Super Bowl week. They were interviewing someone with practice going on in the background. But he saw a goal line play to Thurman that he recognized in the game and the Cowboys blew it up because of that. Another example of not being buttoned up.
I remember it as a bit of a fluke. A reporter was giving a report and there was practice going on in the background. Apparently the Bills ran a shuttle run play and they had never done that all year. Johnson saw it and prepared his defense for it. If I remember right, that was the Thurman fumble play, but to connect the fumble to that preparation seems like a stretch.

Nard dog is the LB
Agreed. OP, think of a saint bernard. What position would that dog play? That is a LB dog, for sure.
Of course, now maybe you'll get saint and Christian mixed up. 😀
I'm with you OP. Although better than the alternative, its terrible getting old. Youth is wasted on the young.

I just wish, they could come up with some wrinkles to throw off the better offenses that can run and utilize the short passing game with high efficiency. They need something different to get them over the hump in the playoffs.
This. Their philosophy is the right one, but you need to counter punch against those that are running so well that it is almost like passing. Instead they seem to stubbornly stick to what is not working in those situations. It was like the NE wind game that we lost where it was obvious that NE did not want to throw.

A little trip to our treasured past, 1970 and new members of the National Football League
Since I'm about a decade younger than you, there is something from the first video that took me by surprise:
"The sheer speed of (Merlin) Olson" is not a sentence that I ever imagined being spoken.
I guess we all had glory days.

He is a similar player as Wes Welker and Julian Edelman.
Edelman had a career catch percentage of 65.9% and Welker was 70.8....with Brady throwing to him. Shakir is currently at 82.5%....94.7% this year.
Not to mention is short area burst is much, much better than Edelman and Welker. He's the definition of making guys miss in a phone booth.
The one slot WR who gets mentioned as the best is St. Brown on the Lions and he's at 74%. And has a lower Y/R by 3 yards.
4 minutes ago, eball said:IMHO you think incorrectly. If you can get open and catch the ball in this league you are valuable. Shakir is only starting to scratch the surface.
Shaw has a good point in that stats can be deceiving and manufactured by situation, but I am with Royale and eball for two reasons:
1. His stats are stupid high. The comparison to Edelman and Welker's stats reveal that. Some of his stats might be manufactured by usage, but it is hard to explain all of it considering how high they are.
2. He passes the eye test. Who doesn't like watching him with the ball? He is exciting in a way that few Bills receivers ever have been.

Hes always hurt. Hes selfish and he’s just not that good anymore .
I think it’s the wrong message to send to the young WR group could hurt their confidence.

no more wr saviors. They do not accomplish anything and they will screw up your locker room and your cap.
Dallas is about to get hammered over the next month of their schedule. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make a move for him at some point. It worked for them in 2018.
I'm not watching tape on him, but he was once awesome. At this point, I want him only if Beane wants him. If we get him, it will signal to me that Beane and McD see that there is something still there that could help us. I absolutely will not question them if they let him pass.

A lot of things can be true at the same time without being so binary.
Do I think Brady designed an entire offense to spite Diggs? No that’s insane.
Do I think that all the frequent use of language like “everybody eats” has some correlation to the guy who just told the world that he forced two teams to move on from him and wants to chase his own stat line? Yes.
Does Josh “I don’t know who the fork they thought I was” Allen keep receipts? Yes, he has a record of it , and not to mention he’s named one of the biggest trash talkers in the league .
I always thought the "everybody eats" phrase was a response to all the questions players and coaches got about what are we going to do without a true #1 WR.

As a Watch collector myself, I would agree on the Watch size. However, he normally wears a Breitling Navitimer. I have two of them and they are a standard watch size of 41mm. Though they do come in larger sizes but I’m pretty sure his solid gold one is a 41. It just looks huge because he’s a tiny man. Smaller watches are also making a big comeback - my wife just bought me an omega from my birth year (1980) so it is only 36mm but looks great.
All that to say, it’s not the watch that’s huge, it’s him that’s tiny, and he needs to go for a more size appropriate watch. But it’s Miami which is literally the epicenter douchey watches.
I am oddly impressed by this post. So many things...the watch info is one thing, but I did not even know there were douchey watches, much less that there was an epicenter for them, much less that it was Miami, although it kind of makes sense.

Exactly. It’s their own fault knowing CMC’s injury history
Speaking as someone who got CMC in a league without Mason, it is not always as simple as that. How long do you wait before getting the handcuff? I waited one round too long.

[EDIT: Well, I guess that user comments are up now, unlike they were 6+ hours ago. Can't wait to read them.]
So, the article wasn't bad. Thanks for sharing.
The comments, however, were slit your wrists depressing, unfunny, and unhinged. Ugh. What a depressing way to live. Seriously, medical professionals need to be available to provide help for them.

Brutal buzzkill, Billschinatown. That would suck the life right out of my body.
Seriously, if the Bills don't win a Superbowl, lose Allen at some point, and he wins elsewhere?.....that would be an existential crisis for my fandom.

Mahomes is not better than Allen.
8 hours ago, GoBills808 said:He wasn't last year
Here is the thing. Ask any Chiefs fan and they will tell you that Andy Reid is one of the best offensive coaches of all time and way better than McD. Shoot, most people on this board agree with them. On top of that, Kelce might be the best pass catching TE of all time. Importantly, both Reid and Kelce had that reputation prior to Mahomes.
We all agree that offensive coaching really matters. That is why you can't use Superbowl wins as definitive proof that Mahomes is better.

My list is shaped by the fact that I have a hard time hating 3rd liners. For example, while I get the Kelsey hate because of what he symbolized, I can't hate him for not being a top 6 forward. I guess what I hate the most is lack of effort or downright stupidity and that wasn't him. For the same reason, I can't hate Tyrod. Besides, he broke the drought and we got a great pick for trading him which I think (?) was used to help us trade up for Allen.
1. Rex and Greggo - Rex is listed first because I disliked him before he came and hated the hire. They are listed together because they both came in and took a top defense, completely revamped it, and destroyed it. If I remember right, Greggo's defense was number 1 and the Bills number 3 in yards given up the year before he became our coach. He used that as a reason for the change. Such a stupid argument to switch your defense from 3-4 to 4-3 and turn over your players.
2. Orton - an obvious inclusion given that I hate lack of effort and he is a bit of a poster child for that.
3. Jauron - I want to view him as a try hard guy, but stupidity outweighed his effort. I remember once that he decided to play the Brady Patriots with such a soft defense and they ended up scoring on almost every possession. When asked about it, he said that he had to do that so they wouldn't get beat for a quick score. Meanwhile I am screaming at the screen because they are playing behind the sticks on third downs. Dude, it is about stops. I would rather have them beat us over the top 3 times out of 5 than to have them score 5 straight times.
4. Dareus - I can't tell you how high I was on him. He should have been dominant. I can't hate Maybin because the Bills were stupid to draft him. With Dareus, I think the Bills made the right choice to draft him. He just didn't put in the effort. What was his draft position? 3rd overall?

Haha it was a fun write up. Truthfully my favorite part was the Weird section as there really has been some just incredibly odd things that have happened.
Agree. Some of those things did not really fit into either good or bad but were just....weird. I appreciate the work you did on this.
I'll add a few:
GOOD:
- Sammy Watkins being traded during training camp. Me reading Astro's notes all the time about how he was dogging it in practices, then the trade happened, and I wondered then if there was a real culture change coming. We'll never know how important of a message this sent to the team.
- Hyde and Poyer - as someone who loves good safety play, it was a joy having them as a tandem.
- The Bills switch to being more aggressive on fourth down somewhere around the 2nd or 3rd year of McBeane.
- Taron Johnson's interception return to win a playoff game against Baltimore. I have watched the Turning Point (?) clip about that play so many times.
BAD:
- Preposterous Punts that had me yelling at the screen before the Bills changed on that front.
WEIRD:
- Recent history is dangerous to label because time changes perspective, but the entire Diggs Drama (TM). How did they go from Bromance to Breakup off the field (Josh only texted Diggs after the trade?)? That's weird enough, but then add to it the on field drop off in Diggs production? Weird.
Side note - I love how you put the Rex Ryan era in both Bad and Weird, because it was. 🙂

Hill is absolutely stupid To think he has a chance.
The 40 aint the 100. I have no idea who would win a 40, but someone like Usain is still accelerating and has not reached his top speed until the 60 to 70 meter mark. That is why world class sprinters, when running the 200, will run their second 100m faster than their first 100m.
I guarantee Usain has a much higher top speed than Tyreek and so would kill him in the 100 (obviously). The 40 would be closer. I think it literally could be a coinflip, especially since Usain is getting older.

There’s almost nothing I understand less than signing a guy to play football (at this level) who hasn’t played before. There are prob 2k fringe NFL level players that are available that have a lifetime of football experience…..this is a move you make in a lower tier league. I just hate doing stuff like this. What’s the best case scenario? Just a waste of a roster spot.
It's a lottery ticket. The 90th guy on the roster almost never makes it. Why sign a fringe guy that you know is just that. Better to throw a dart at someone who has ridiculous athletic skills. They worked him out so they must have seen something.
I have the same philosophy in FF redraft leagues (not that that means anything). In the late rounds, why pick up a WR that will go for 3 TDs and 450 yards? He is never going to start for me. If I have injury problems, someone like him will be sitting on the waiver wire. I'd rather shoot for the boom or bust.

2025 NFL Draft Thread : Rounds 2-3
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Something similar happened to his dad. Back in the day, I remember saying that Deon was the 2nd most exciting rookie named Sanders.
Barry was the most exciting.
