The poster I was responding to said nothing about eyestream and that's not exclusive to the Amazon Fire TV. According to the website, that's not free either.

The Amazon Fire TV is no different than an Apple TV, Roku, Nvidia Shield, etc. It's simply a platform that hosts all the various streaming services that are available. You must still sign up for them whether that's Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, etc. There is nothing that gives you all movies, sports, and all channels available for free that is legal.

You can't compare Darden and Polamalu. They played in totally different eras. And I still don't know what basis you're keeping Greene out other than you don't like that he played 3 seasons out of 15 for the Steelers.

Except Greene was already an established pass rusher before he even went to Pittsburgh and still was after he left there. He only played three seasons with the Steelers anyway. He still had 4 very productive years between SF and Carolina after he left Pitt. You want to keep out the guy 3rd all-time in sacks, who put up at least 10 sacks in 10 different seasons and at least 10 sacks in a season with 4 different teams, for playing three seasons of a 15-year career in Pittsburgh simply because you think the Steelers have too many? And as far as Polamalu, name me the players at his position who were better than he was and aren't in the HOF, and who were that good for that long.

Agreed. Longevity is really the only argument against him. Only played seven seasons and only played a full season twice, but when he was healthy, he was a beast. Also agree Elway retires ringless without him.

His prime and most of his career was played in the 80s, which is a different era of football than most of the receivers who played most of their career's post 1990. To determine how great a player was in his era, you have to compare him to his peers at the time and how many "firsts" he had. When you do that with Monk, he's at the top of the era in which he played. You're going to be hard pressed to build a long list of names that were better than he was at the time IMO. First player to record a touchdown reception in 15 consecutive seasons (1980-1994) Consecutive seasons with at least 35 receptions (15, 1980–1994) First player to record over 102+ receptions (106 in 1984 season) in a season before NFL rules changes prior to the 1990 season that ushered in the "pass happy era". Still, only three players in the next nine years collected 100 passes or more and only one (Sterling Sharpe in 1992 season) surpassed his total. First player to record over 100+ receptions in the Super Bowl era First player to record back-to-back seasons with 1,200 yards and 90 receptions (1984, 1985) First player to reach 820 receptions in a career First player to surpass 900 career receptions, finishing career with 940 (all-time record at the time) First player to record at least one reception in 180 consecutive games Always keeping in mind when the player played, you add his numbers, his "firsts", combined with the fact he won 3 rings, I really don't know how you leave him out.

You're going to have to explain Art Monk to me. Until Jerry Rice broke them, he owned a number of receiving records. He held the record for receptions in a season until 1992. Set the all-time record (at the time) for receptions at 820, first player to reach 900, and pushed it to 940 for his career. Retired with most consecutive games with a catch (at the time 183). Won 3 Super Bowls, 3x Pro Bowl selection, 2x All-Pro and named to NFL 1980 All-Decade Team. One of the most dependable and consistent WR's in history. He's basically Andre Reed with 3 rings.

He will command too much money. Beane already said any more vets we sign will be around $2M per. Dalvin will be much more than that.

I don't disagree, not top 10, but #20? I just don't see it. Josh doesn't put the numbers up last year that he does with a bunch of bums and I think they've improved this season, even though not by a huge amount. If you add TEs to the equation, I think the Bills crack the top 10 or are right on the border.

If Josh Allen just killed every play where it looked like there was nothing there, the Bills would've lost every close game they played. Part of Josh Allen's game is his mobility and it has been an integral part of his toolbox since he started playing QB. It looks like you want to have the Bills QB play like someone who is not on this team. As I said before, Steve Young is a HOF QB and SB Champion by being a mobile QB. The 49ers didn't force him to try and be something he wasn't and he played in an era where it was open season on QBs. You bringing up QBs who are/were not mobile QBs is completely irrelevant to this discussion and is an apples and oranges comparison. I can guarantee you if any of those guys could move like Josh moves, it would've been a part of their game.

This is an unrealistic expectation of Josh. You want to take away one of the biggest things that makes Josh Allen, Josh Allen and shoehorn him into a Tom Brady type mold. Steve Young was a very successful QB in this league and didn't sit in the pocket all game either.

An incomplete pass is a failed passing play. What's your point? I don't expect great results every time. Josh being able to extend plays is what makes this offense unpredictable and hard to scheme against. You apparently want to turn Josh into a pure pocket passer, which is never going to happen. I trust Josh's judgement when he decides to take off. I want to see him get down or get out of bounds when the only other option is contact.

It's not subjective because the example I gave came right from Beane's mouth. If he decides to scramble, they want him to slide or get out of bounds instead of constantly challenging defenders head on.

Welp, Beane and McD disagree with you. Take it up with them. They know running is part of Josh's DNA and they just want him to do it smartly.

That's not what Beane and McD are talking about. They said they're fine with him running, but he needs to not take unnecessary hits like where he lowers his shoulder and delivers a hit when just running out of bounds or sliding is the better option. Beane was on Green Light with Chris Long and specifically mentioned the Vikings game after he injured his elbow against the Jets. Docs said he'd likely miss 1-3 weeks. Josh said he could play that week and the Doc said he'd only clear him if Josh agreed to protect himself. Beane said 2nd quarter he's running, already had the first down at midfield and instead of sliding, lowers his shoulder against an oncoming Safety. Those are the unnecessary hits they're talking about.

Yep, I kind of figured as soon as I heard Daq was out for that game we'd have issues against the run. Daq and Ford in the middle will make it much harder for teams to run inside against us, which was a true weak spot in this defense.

Lower center of gravity and with that kind of weight will be hard for a OL to get leverage and move him out of the way.

If you replace the statistically worst rated guard in the league doesn't take much to improve.

Backup? He started 15 games for the Cowboys in 2022. He has a 93.1% pass block win rate compared to the disaster that was Saffold.

Saffold was rated the worst starting guard in the league last year. Just having him not there this season is an improvement.

The guy considered the best in the business (Travis Kelce) had 67 catches, 862 yards and five TDs, not to mention 4 fumbles (3 lost) his rookie season. Let's not place any unrealistic expectations on Kincaid please.

Yep, look at the SB. That beastly Philly pass rush who led the league in sacks by 15 over the next closest team looked helpless in the 2nd half against the Chiefs. You're rarely going to dominate the Chiefs defensively. You just have to hope for some bad passes and key stops here and there and aim to outscore them. That's what we did when we beat them in their house this past season. The focus needs to be getting points on the board and not on trying to build a defense that's going to stop them because you won't.

He's not a traditional TE and isn't going to be used like one in this offense. Comparing him to past Bills TE's who were traditional TE's doesn't really make sense here.

I think a lot of Kincaid's (and Knox's for that matter) success or lack thereof this season hinges tremendously on Ken Dorsey. In an offense that creates the mismatches like Beane talked about and almost dictates coverages to the Defense, I think the sky is the limit. It's really up to Dorsey to make it happen. The O-line should be better than last season and with a weapon like Kincaid, some of the focus should be off Diggs.

Beane already said they aren't in competition with each other. If Kincaid isn't going to be used on the line, while Knox continues to play the traditional TE role, Dawson still stays TE1 regardless.
