  1. This is my biggest concern as well. I do think getting Zach Moss back for his second year will help. He seemed to be running better late in the season. I guess it’s possible that Ford could help in the run game at guard as well
  2. I think the longer he stays available, the better chance that he signs a 1 year prove it deal with Buffalo
  3. This would be a Super Bowl move. Not saying it guarantees them anything but it would be a huge swing
  4. 1988 home playoff game against Houston. The entire Buffalo/Niagara region was buzzing and super-excited
  5. Your friends sources are wrong. Star’s contract makes it very unlikely he gets cut. Too much dead cap space.
  6. In the end, he only cared about the money. He would’ve had to take a pay cut to go to one of the other other contenders and was like “nah I like the money better.”
  7. So essentially you say bringing in Shady is kind of like a joke but then try to rationalize the move?
  8. To me a “whipping boy” implies that someone gets the blame for something that isn’t their fault. Almost all of the players on the poll have had moments where they didn’t play well. I think the criticism they receive is definitely warranted. I’m sorry but the answer can’t be Edmunds, because while he has been injured, he also has looked really bad this season. At times, he was a weakness on the defense. I would have to go with Ed Oliver only because he’s played out of position and because he still grades highly.
  9. I just didn’t have the size and probably not enough athleticism to play at the next level. Part of me does wish that I picked a D3 school and tried out for a spot because sometimes I think I would’ve had an outside chance. But who knows?
  10. Interesting... never knew there was much American football in the UK
  11. I think they are counting on Dodson to compete for Milano’s spot, but I don’t think they are penciling him as starter. I can see the Bills brining in some completion but they did stand by Dodson through his suspension so they obviously value what he brings
  12. Through middle and high school. Wasn’t good enough to play at a college level
  13. Your best bet is probably Facebook marketplace. It’s actually pretty easy
  14. I disagree. A big part of their issues on defense was how easily offensive lines could push around the middle of the defense. Many have said that lacking a true space eating DT also is why Edmunds struggled. You may not like Short, but I don’t think you can say the Bills don’t need DT’s. We aren’t even 100% that Star comes back next season
  15. LOL you gotta love Ariel. He dragged it out of Steve.
  16. Yeah thank you. I never said that Mahomes wasn’t very talented or that he wasn’t the best QB in the nfl. I believe he is. Just that most in the media spent 2 weeks hyping about great he is, and perhaps...rightfully so, but it created the sense that he was going to waltz into Tampa and destroy TB. That obviously didn’t happen. It just seems that the same people who hyped him up are going way out of their way to rationalize his performance While I don’t feel he was the reason the team lost, I also don’t feel he was as good as people like Schwartz and Kimes would suggest. IMO it was his worst game as a starting QB - which should say volumes about how good he has been over his first 3 years.
  17. I don’t think Mahomes needs you to white knight for him. Besides, I never doubted his talent at all. What I did doubt is whether his game was as good as some have touted it to be. This entire thread is around the variance of opinion as to whether Mahomes played a “great” game in the Super Bowl. Fans and media all have different takes which is what makes this a topic worth discussing...because you know you are on an internet message board with strangers for fun. Someone emphatically stated that the Super Bowl wasn’t his worst game, and I said it was citing actual statistics. So again, I’ll ask you since you see to be so vested in Mahomes. What was his worst game as a pro? Because just about every other start has been good
  18. Ok so what was his worst game then? Part of the reason for so much hype is that “bad” games by Mahomes standards really aren’t that bad. By the numbers alone this was easily his worst.
  19. That’s gotta be the heartbreaking part of being the parent of an addict. Of course, it’s also a case of nepotism but that’s common in the NFL. My thinking is that when Andy took over in 2013, Britt was still passionate about football. He had done his prison sentence and was an intern at Temple. Andy probably thought that giving him a low-level position would help keep him occupied and keep him close so he could keep tabs. He atleast knew the type of culture/environment he would build in KC. Britt was on the staff for 7+ plus years so it was probably working for a lwhile, but ultimately it’s very hard to depend on someone with addiction issues that aren’t completely addressed
  20. I think that a jail sentence is probably the best case scenario if found guilt. If they find that Britt was drinking at the Chiefs facility, which definitely seems like a possibly, you bet your arse there will be a civil suit against the Chiefs. And if they somehow find out that Andy or the coaches knew he was drinking there could be some major collateral damage. Essentially Britt put a lot of people in a terrible situation
  21. She thinks she does and fancies herself as a believer in analytics It’s not bitter...just pointing out the contrast in the way that different media personalities are analyzing the same performance.
  22. I think it was a hyperbole. There was a ton of glowing media coverage about how great Mahomes is. Many did proclaim his as the “Michael Jordan of NFL” and praised him as the most dominant athlete in any leagues. So to say that Mahomes was heavily hyped leading up to the Super Bowl is an understatement.
  23. After weeks of hearing how Patrick Mahomes is the “Michael Jordan” of the NFL, some in the media are now going out of their way to prop up his performance in the Super Bowl - despite the bad numbers and meager scoring output. Yet earlier today, one of the most respect film analysts Gregg Cosell, actually used film study to show that Mahomes didn’t play his best game. In the full podcast Tucker noted that so many wanted to blame the OL without acknowledging that Mahomes wasn’t as sharp as he’s been in the past. My opinion, is that while Mahomes made some incredible plays it was still probably his worst game as a pro. I wouldn’t say he was the reason he lost, but you can add him to the long list of Chiefs who didn’t deliver. I do feel that the media is contorting to try to prop him up. I find that kind of bizarre. The crazy thing is that against the Bills everyone said “oh look how he’s moving he’s showing NO effects from turf toe.” Then when he was losing they said “that turf toe is really affecting his throws tonight.” The Chiefs fanbase is especially banging this drum hard. Where do you fall on this debate and do you think there’s a Pro-Mahomes narrative some are trying to push?
  24. I just don’t see the Bills spending a 1st round draft choice on a running back especially when Beane came out as his end-of-season presser and said the problem with the running game wasn’t Miss or Singletary. I think their improvement is tied to new additions on the OL. The only way I see this move happening is if the team moves on from Singletary and I can’t see that happening. If it does, then I would welcome a new weapon to the offense
