No way he's settling under it, not in that situation.
He is not even running full speed, his head is turned toward the QB at the release, and his footwork is telling. He doesn't even have to settle under it. My point is he misread the throw and that is an underrated WR skill.
We are going to disagree on this, which is fine.

No, not at all.
The problem is that the throw from Josh was way the hell behind Kincaid. He had to actually stop, turn 180 degrees and go back for it, and he still had to dive for it. It was a hard play. One he should have made, but a hard play and a tough one for a guy on two bad knees.
I'm not saying that Kincaid didn't do those things. I'm saying that he runs 15-20 yards or so after the ball is released and this was not a laser throw Look at his footwork just as he enters the frame and you can tell that he didn't track the ball well. It looks like he slows down, speeds up, and then realizes his mistake and slams on the brakes.
The majority of the time an NFL WR (and even Dalton himself some of the time) would have settled under the ball and not over ran it.

Thank you both for posting that clip and that screenshot. This is an elite level play by Josh.
I'll say it again - the drop is only half of the problem. Dalton adjusts to the ball late in the air. He should have been standing underneath it like he was fielding a punt. Fortunately, that is a skill that can be learned. He dropped it, yes, but first he made the catch harder than it needed to be.

There’s something oddly comical about message board posters - many of whom get worked up over perceived "personal attacks" from strangers online - relentlessly criticizing someone who’s under constant scrutiny for simply showing a bit of emotion.

Pot calling the kettle black here . Dude is so sensitive on X that if you disagree with him at all he blocks you lol

This.
Saying he is the most emotional GM paints him as if he is on some extreme. He is a normal dude. Calling him the most emotional makes it sounds like he is all up in his fee-fees and crying all the time. On the WGR segment, he was angry and defending his decisions, not crying and whining. Belicheck used to cultivate an angry persona of being a hair's breadth away from exploding so that people would not challenge him, maybe they caught Bean on a bad day, I don't know, but it was a normal reaction.
And, yes, it probably wasn't fair to WGR because it was taken out of context from the whole show, but then I don't want my GM listening to WGR all day.

First, Cook didn't say he feels "disconnected." That was Schefter's word to try and describe where he thinks the relationship is at.
As for moving him for a 5th or 6th during the draft..... do you think that pick is more valuable to the Bills in 2025 than James Cook? I think unlikely. And they will get that value back next year in terms of a comp pick if he walks and depending on what else we do in free agency.
And on "he should have asked before the draft" trust me he did. The Bills and Cook had conversations pre-draft and his agent was testing the market.
What Cook is doing is he is maximising his leverage while he has it. It's nearly at the end of the road for that leverage and come training camp he will be here in some form.
Nothing he has done or is doing deserves the vitriol in your post.
I'm with Gunner on this. As much as I love draft picks, a 5th or a 6th? I would much rather have Cook for another year.
As much as some people pooh, pooh culture, this might be a spot where it helps. The family culture and the bond at least *seems* so strong on this team that it is hard to believe that this will get that ugly. Anything can happen, but I would expect that he will be back and play out the year. Meanwhile, I have no hard feelings towards Cook that is trying to use what leverage he has in order to get paid.

Maybe, but when you are stuck in Massachusetts, hearing Bills and Sabres talk on WGR, is like oxygen.
I like when Marino, Greg Cosell, Dan Orlasky, are on. I like the player reports and interviews. I like Brown and Tasker. Yes they are Bills homers. So am I. I like Sal. I love the Hump day song 4:00 every Wednesday. I like Marty and Paul- I can’t wait until Sabres start crushing! Then those two will have something happy to talk about. I enjoy some of the calls.
but I get what your saying. Jeremy and Joe cried when Josh Allen was drafted instead of Josh Rosen. That tells you all about their football knowledge. Schoop and Bulldog wanted to trade two #1 picks and more, for Brandon Ayuk. And they were killing Bills offense before Amari. Their mantra was “Everyone Snacks”. So some more aggressive bad radio
I'm largely in agreement with this. I might go farther. I was in the same spot as Jeremy when they drafted Allen. I believed the national articles about him. I can't be too critical of Jeremy for it because I did the same thing. The hosts end up talking sports for 20 hours of programming each week...even during the off season. Any host is going to make some bad calls. That is not unique to our market. National guys are often brutally wrong.
But Brown and Tasker are homers! Sure, but I can't criticize them for being homers and then criticize the afternoon show for their everybody snacks snark.
The fact is that WGR neither sucks nor is awesome. Personal taste will mean that I might like some people more than others, but Pete nailed it - it is still like oxygen.

Should Kincaid have caught it? Yeah. But it was a very tough catch. He was wide open with nobody in front of him and had to do a 180 to get within a tough diving try. Again, he should've had it. But it was not an easy play, and could've been an extremely easy play with a better throw.
It was a tough catch because Kincaid didn't adjust well to the ball in the air. His movement to adjust is so last second that it ramped up the degree of difficulty.
It is an underrated skill. I hate to say it, but it is one of the reasons tyreek hill is so good downfield.

Shadeur isn't even the first Sanders off the board lmao
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.

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.
2 hours ago, Shaw66 said:After his sack he was breathing heavily for several minutes on the bench. Not a good sign.
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.

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.
