Great move by Bills and Sanders to get the deal done

IMO the process from Beane was solid. He took a massive swing to address a glaring weakness in hopes of winning a Super Bowl. It’s all because of the ACL injury. When Von was healthy he was a force on the edge and played well. He likely would’ve finished with 10+ sacks. He never was close to the same player. All players are essentially one ACL tear away from changing the trajectory of their careers. Also even though he signed for six years, it likely was always going to be a three year contract.

I didn’t watch every snap or even every Jets game but I came away thinking that Gardiner was a player whose reputation was better than what I saw on the field. He didn’t exactly blow me away in year 3

That’s absolutely the plan and the hope is be set at DT for the next 2 seasons (at least)

Daquan is an interesting choice because I didn’t think he played great last season. It sounded like he was competent but a far cry from the tear he went on to start 2023. With the new additions on the DL, we probably see DaQuan take less snaps - potentially giving way to Sanders or Carter, which could actually help his effectiveness.

The worst scene was Burrow talking to his “stylist.” His stylist picked out the most ridiculous outfits that Burrow knew were trash but he trusted his weird stylist. they also showed the iconic video from Fashion Week in Paris where he looked like a complete douche with the stupid backless suit.

Makes sense. One exception I might make -is SB25 The Bills were more talented than NYG and should have overpowered them offensively, but Marv was out coached from an X’s and O’s standpoint. Not sure partying was as big of a factor here, but the defense sure tackled like they were playing with a hangover!

Super Bowl 27 for sure. Based on the end result of the game and the NINE turnovers you can definitely make the argument that the team was unfocused on the field and it showed on Sunday. SB25 - Maybe there was some of that. I think they were overconfident but it was more about Marv getting out coached. SB26 - I think there were overmatched physically but they also made some really dumb mistakes too - so maybe they were unfocused, SB 28 - I can say partying wasn’t an issue here. I think this might have been the best SB half Marv had coached. The team unraveled when Thurman fumbled. This loss was on the players… who were also a bit outmatched

D-line is probably the most interesting position group. Now that Hoecht and Ogunjobi are out, it makes it easier to predict. By after Week 6, it could get very interesting if all are healthy. Not just in terms of a roster spot but also who dresses in Sunday. If Solomon shows out do they trade AJ Epinesa? Does Buffalo try to “redshirt” Walker? Could DaQuan Jones get released?

You can argue that situationally he’s had some issues, but in terms of overall philosophy the motion concepts of his offense (and Shannahan’s) have been duplicated by just about every NFL team. I think he has a very good offensive mind and could be a great OC but that he’s a bit overmatched as HC.

He would think that Terry is spending too much money and giving too much authority to his HC and GM. Ralph was not a very good owner for the majority of the time when I followed the football team . This is so true. If he did happen to luck into McDermott like Pegula did, he never would’ve given him the authority to make changes to fix the culture and eliminate the problems.

I always thought his comeback was way more impressive that people give him credit for. Actually if you’ve ever been injured yourself, it’s astounding how fast NFL players return from injury. of course, it probably helps to have to have a team of doctors, athletic trainers, nutritionists at your disposal but still….

LOL some of the counterfeit jerseys for $30 aren’t that bad. This is a monstrosity

Especially when that college player is a top draft prospect and is set to sign for millions. The timing here is no coincidence. I’m sure they waited to file until he signed his rookie contract

I’m guessing that the civil suit had been planned for some time and the legal team were waiting until he signed his contract, rather than going over whatever NIL money he had previously been making. If that happened, Harrison could have been like Rocky Balboa in Rocky V and say “sue me for what?”

This reminds more of a move the Bills drought teams would make. On paper it sounds great move based on his name but in actuality, I’m not sure it does a whole lot. Kind of like when Miami signed OBJ to be WR3 There were rumors Miami was going after Michael Mayer of the Raiders. I thought he would have been a solid addition

Everything he said is 100% correct. He sucked as QB with the Bills and there were fans that were optimistic that it would be him comeback story

Looks incredible but you won’t have to set your DVR. Bove is posting a link after it airs

I wouldn’t say that it was underwhelming. I followed a lot of the WR’s that season, and Keon was largely the player that draft analyst projected him to be. There were a lot of times when he just couldn’t get any separation and he wasn’t a great route runner. But he was able to make some big plays too. The one area that I wasn’t that impressed with was his ability to catch 50/50 balls. He had a couple nice catches but also several other drops and this was supposed to be his speciality

From minicamp reports, it sounded like Josh was developing good chemistry with Palmer and Moore

McConkey and Worthy were thought of to be more refined receivers. The consensus was that Coleman would need to work on his route running in the NFL and was more raw than those players. Yet Coleman who only played 13 games isn’t that far off from the numbers that Worthy put up. In fact, his yardage was almost the same despite playing 4 less games. So that and the fact that even as an undeveloped WR he put up an average stat line as a rookie I think is optimistic. The question is, how much better will he become?

If you read the full article it goes into detail. He chose 2002, because that was the time of the modern league re-alignment. He stopped at 2022 because he wanted to make sure draft picks had a sample size of multiple seasons as opposed to your Ladd’s etc. He chose picks 28-35 to get an approximate range of selections starting with pick #28 which was Buffalo’s original selection. This is hardly a predictive science. It just shares how WR’s selected at the end of R1/beginning of R2 have performed. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6328884/2025/05/02/bills-mailbag-brandon-beane-nfl-draft-wr-questions/?source=user_shared_article The Satchel: Much ado about Brandon Beane’s draft, wide receivers, and more

He wasn’t a first round pick technically…. He was #33 overall or R2 pick #1. I’m with you on improvement - just not sure his potential is as high as what some are hoping for but we’ll see

800 yards would be a very good season

This seems to be a narrative but one I don’t entirely agree with. While he did have his two best games against TEN and SEA, he wasn’t exactly setting the world on fire. Coleman had only had 5 and 4 receptions for 70 and 125 yards respectively. I’d agree that he does have some upside, but I’m not sure that it’s as high as some fans expectations Yes or no?
