  1. Lombardi: "Gentlemen, this is a football." Max McGee: "“Uh, Coach, could you slow down a little?" "To thine own self be true!" The margin of their defense being better was with Chris Jones. He had an unmistakable impact on the game that we had no answer for.
  2. Devonshire is a county in the UK known for its dairy products. Hard pass. Interesting that in this topic, no one has broached trading one of next year's 2nd rounders for a 3rd rounder this year. I think the Bills will do well to stand pat at #28 but I'm pretty sure everyone will regret not having a 3rd rounder this year... thus trading one of next year's 2nd rounders. Assuming a 3rd rounder this year nets us a starter, I think it's more important to have that pick this year than next year because of the Josh Allen Window.
  3. Shaw is on to something simply for this reason: Beane has shown a tendency to aggressively improve draft position in the early rounds: 2018: Josh Allen and Tremaine Edmunds 2019: Cody Ford 2022: Kaiir Elam 2023: Dalton Kincaid That's 5 players in 6 years that he's moved up for in the early rounds.
  4. Yep, a little PTSD. In 2014 the Bills drafted Sammy Watkins 4th overall. They traded the 9th overall pick plus their next year's 1st and 4th rounders (19th and 115th overall). There've been other instances of teams packaging picks to trade up for a WR. Julio Jones comes to mind: "The Atlanta Falcons selected Jones with the sixth overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft despite already having Pro Bowl receiver Roddy White. Jones became the earliest drafted wide receiver in franchise history for the Falcons. The Falcons traded five draft picks to the Cleveland Browns to move up into their spot and take Jones, giving up their 27th, 59th, and 124th picks from the 2011 Draft, and their first and fourth-round picks from the 2012 NFL draft." In retrospect that was a crazy aggressive move.
  5. I don't get it... he never played for the Panthers did he?
  6. Based on the things Aiyuk himself has said, I think the bolded is incorrect. He wants to be paid big money, now. It'll be expensive for sure. Yes. If he was happy with his contract he wouldn't be rumored to be going elsewhere. How were the Bills gifted a ton of cap space?
  7. I'm not saying whether the Bills should pursue him or not but Aiyuk's definitely a number one... he relegated Deebo Samuel to number 2 and his already huge numbers from last year (75 receptions 1341 yards 17.6 YPR 7 TDs) would explode if he were to transition to Josh Allen from Brock Purdy. Those who closely watch the Niners and the NFL know without a doubt that Aiyuk is a number one receiver. He's just not yet a household name. Undoubtedly.
  8. Pro Football Talk is the worst… what a haven for poor writing. They sorely need a good editor to bring their content out of the depths of illiteracy. Harris wasn’t a big guy but he played with abandon. I’m glad he was wise enough to walk away on his own terms instead of being a slave to the game as so many NFLers are… pissing away money and thus pathetically grasping at whatever employment is left to them.
  9. Bermuda… Thank you very much!!! I thought I was losing my marbles… or that Andy Reid was in my head. 👍👍👍
  10. This would have been pretty funny except in 6 pages, none of you thought to quote the immortal phrase, “Let Russ cook.” I can always depend on you guys. 😊
  11. This contract makes Russ only the 87th most highly-paid Cook in America.
  12. That’s weird. How did that thought enter my mind??? I AM NOT PARANOID!!!
  13. insanity noun in·san·i·ty in-ˈsa-nə-tē the state of being seriously mentally ill; madness. "he suffered from bouts of insanity"
  14. January 8th 2000. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_City_Miracle Like I said, no coincidence that Reid schemed this up for the 24th anniversary.
  15. This would be the right time for me to bring up the Travis Kelce to Kadarious Toney play that would have beaten us except for Toney’s stupidity. It was obvious to me that the Chiefs had practiced that play. It’s no coincidence that it happened on the 24th anniversary of the MCM and was Andy Reid’s attempt to put a dagger through our hearts for the rest of eternity.
  16. And instead of Ngata we drafted Donte Whitner. Thanks for bringing this up, guys.
  17. You kneel feed no shame... you shield kneel no fame... you need feel no shame... yes that's it! You need feel no shame.
  18. Will always wish the best for Damar. Glad to have crossed paths with him as he has made our world a better one.
  19. Thanks for posting this. Based on the video he looks like Trent Murphy and probably at a fraction of the cost. Yes he is. His vertical and broad jump in particular. Those traits are usually associated with "explosiveness." https://www.nfl.com/prospects/casey-toohill/3200544f-4f26-0938-ca59-565da861a195 This is probably our 5th DE once the smoke clears on the offseason. Good signing.
  20. From the perspective of market economics, 9 of the top 11 safeties on PFT's Top Free Agent List are now signed. Antoine Winfield 7 Kamren Curl 22 Kyle Dugger 31 Xavier McKinney 37 Geno Stone 48 Jordan Fuller 59 DeShon Elliott 62 Jordan Whitehead 95 CJ Gardner-Johnson 104, The last two remaining unsigned are Justin Simmons 47, and Julian Blackmon 72.
  21. We’re fans. Let us get excited. Ignore us if you have to.
  22. Just like signing Quinton Morris to a futures contract prevented us from drafting Dalton Kincaid… got it.
  23. Thinking today also of Tim Russert and all the Bills fans no longer with us.
