    First of all 10% isn't "a bad drop year".   It's as bad as it gets kinda' drop year and he was at 10% in both 2020 and 2022.........so both seasons post "fighting for Jesus" or whatever it was that he said when he was trashed that night.

     

    And you're right they should have just left the "horrific night" out entirely.      "Inconsistency can't keep Zay Jones down" alone isn't particularly compelling though.

    10% drop in 2020 with 20 targets. Make sure you give the entire context of your data story lol. 

     

    Sounds good man. It sounds like you may have been personally victimized by Zay and his newfound success and purpose. Glad you find some seemingly personal validation every time he drops a pass. May God bless you brother.

    Not at all........it's good that he got over that night but I have plenty of friends that have gotten trashed one night in their lives and done things that could have resulted in their death if things had gone differently.     It's ultimately a human interest piece that cuts A LOT of corners.......like buying that he didn't know if he was intoxicated or with what.......or that the game losing drop in Carolina was an outrageous ask(ignoring the fact that the turf monster tackled him causing him to not be where he was supposed to be).   That's just some of it.   Lotta' excuses made to create a narrative of Jones as a victim of circumstance so that Dunne can prop him up for doing better.   He and his family were a weird, awkward presence when he was here in Buffalo.  That combined with his play made him a must move and a big draft bust for the regime.   Good for him that he is happier but his main issue on the football field remains even as he gets more run.   That's MY point.   

    This is a bit of a lazy take IMO. Yes, his drop  % was high last year, on more targets, but in 2018 it was 2.9% on 100+ targets (with inaccurate Josh throwing to him). It was also low in 2020 and 2021 with LV. It's not like he's this +10% drop player every year. 

     

    He had a bad drop year in 2017 and last year.

     

    What's wrong with him not wanting to discuss a horrific night that almost killed him in an article that's going to get displayed to the world?

    100% truth. 

    We are on a football message board, not a hug, kiss and celebrate life message board.  In most cases these guys mean nothing more to us than the laundry they wear. That is unless you're wondering what Pooh Williams is up to these days, or Damien Conington, or Mark Pike, or Keith McKellar.

     

    Zay Jones is by all accounts a good dude. He is good friends with my steps sons 2nd grade teacher. While we all should applaud growth, happiness, and personal development we are here to discuss the realities of football.

     

    That reality is Jones has struggled with fundamentals of the game and it set our team back. This is not a personal statement - this is a professional statement. 

    I would not argue that it set our team back. The reality was Zay stepped into a role on a team that neither he - or the team - was ready for. That team was atrocious, talent wise. Zay was never a #1 and he never should have been.

     

    I would instead argue that we do care about the players' personal lives, and we should. That is what separates Buffalo from these other commercially-driven franchises. It's in the core DNA of the city. Do you think anyone was thinking about Dawson Knox's rookie season drops last year when his brother died? Doubt it. That's what separates us as fans in Buffalo. 

     

    While I do agree that it's fair to say that Zay was largely a bust in Buffalo, it's also fair to be happy for him finding success and stability when he didn't have either here.

    I live in Niagara Falls. Don't stay here. There is nothing to do, and it's a run-down ***** hole.

     

    When we go out, we go to Lewiston or Buffalo.

     

    Stay in Buffalo ... by all means drive in to see the Falls, but don't stay here

    Thanks. That was my suspicion too. NF just seems super touristy / shady when I’ve been there previously. It’s a fun day trip but given it’s a short drive to Buffalo that’s my plan. Leaning towards Allentown / DT Buffalo.

    Agreed you don’t want to F around up there beyond the park and the casino.


    Well that’s the thing - that’s a perfectly good idea driving in. If the OP is flying in he could stay at one of the multiple hotels by the airport too, get an uber or rent a car and go to the village and just walk around, and just drive to the game. Homeboy didn’t really give us enough details.

    “Homeboy” here to mention that I’m flying in…not really sure how that’s a pertinent detail to the question but I did also mention that I’d have a car so all areas are in play. 

    Will DeAndre Hopkins be available this offseason?

    I’ve figured it would be KC all along. Lost JuJu, etc and KC is a better run franchise. Meanwhile, beane will sit on his hands and let them win another SB all because he won’t be willing to give up a 3rd rounder in a crappy draft. Can’t wait until we waste a pick on Bryan Bresee and then draft another Bernard in the 3rd round with the pick he won’t give up. We are in a SB window and Beane doesn’t act like it. 

    you should take a step outside today

    If he ends up staying I’d like to know if not trading Oliver was the reason we didn’t do this trade.  Or a major reason why.  
     

    This team is going to need peak Josh Allen again come playoff time - and I shudder thinking about what happens if Diggs misses time.  Couldn’t get that in 2022 because his elbow was hurt and we had a rookie OC.  
     

    Allen can still win us games and Dorsey could make a huge leap, but we’d look like the 2022 Chargers.  Who at least got Keenan back for the stretch run. 


    All positions need to be prepared for hits to depth and it’s criminal we’ve prioritized WR depth the least since acquiring Diggs.  
     

    I think we’ve upgraded WRs 5-7 but that’s it currently.  
     

    I still don’t feel confident with the slot.  
     

    Sherfield is an upgrade over Kumerow - I forgot Sherfield dropped that TD in the playoff game.  I know - 75 yard TD vs SF.  He is what he is.   
     

     

     

    If Hopkins doesn’t happen I want to target a slot guy.  A legit one.  Even if it’s the draft it appears the best WR prospects seem to be slot guys.
