This might be helpful (or not): Mike Sando's QB tiers. Whether you agree with Sando's rankings is irrelevant. The moral of the story is that QBs aren't only good or bad. There's a bit more to it than that. Tier 1 A Tier 1 quarterback can carry his team each week. The team wins because of him. He expertly handles pure-passing situations. He has no real holes in his game: Mahomes, Burrow, Allen Tier 2 A Tier 2 quarterback can carry his team sometimes but not as consistently. He can handle pure-passing situations in doses and/or possesses other dimensions that are special enough to elevate him above Tier 3. He has a hole or two in his game: Lamar, Herbert, Rodgers, Stafford, Stroud, Dak, Goff, Hurts, Purdy, Cousins, Love Tier 3 A Tier 3 quarterback is a legitimate starter but needs a heavier running game and/or defensive component to win. A lower-volume dropback passing offense suits him best: Tua, Trevor, Kyler, Deshaun, Baker, Carr, Geno, Russ Tier 4: A Tier 4 quarterback could be an unproven player (not enough information for voters to classify) or a veteran who ideally would not start all 17 games: Jones, Fields, Minshew, Richardson, Levis, Young, Darnold, Brisset

Is there anything you'd like to add?

I was thinking about this again today... the idea that we've finally attained our dream so can finally walk away. When the Bills win the Super Bowl is when we'll all learn much more about our dependency on the team.

Yep. Already they’re planning on selling more games to the streaming services thereby reducing the number of games we’re “entitled” to watch via the broadcast outlets. Our household currently has Amazon Prime and YouTube TV (plus Sunday Ticket). My wife and I aren’t gonna just keep adding streaming services. As others have said upthread, it’s not a matter of being able to afford them. It’s a matter of expressing your values by how you spend your money.

Your post is one of the most brilliant and awesome ones I’ve read on this message board. I particularly enjoyed the bolded. Too effin’ funny. It’s also very poignant and shows your wonderful sense of responsibility.

It's good that you're not assuming because if you were, you'd risk making an ass out of you and ming.

Barring injuries, Hoecht can possibly play in 45 of 51 games which is 88%. Ogunjobi can possibly play in 11 of 17 which is 65%. Ogunjobi signed a revised (reduced) contract with the Bills after his suspension was disclosed.

I don't know if you're long-winded but you're definitely a good poster. Myself, I definitely used to be long-winded but I've been working on that.

I'm not gonna debate... I'm gonna wait.

AI is useful for some things... "The Buffalo Bills' worst five-year stretch, based on win percentage, was from 1967 to 1971, with a 19% win rate. During this period, they had records of 4-10, 1-12-1, 4-10, 3-10-1, and 1-13 for a total record of 13-55-2." Over a 17 game schedule this would be the equivalent of the Bills averaging 3.3 wins and 13.7 losses per season. Imagine winning less than once every 5 games over a five season period. Let that sink in next time you want to whine about McBeane.

It's up for debate whether Coleman is "too slow" to succeed in the NFL but you appear to be too fast as far as jumping to conclusions.

Apparently you weren't aware... Saul is Rashee Rice's agent.

I wonder how far we can take this reasoning...

Below are the 40 times of some wideouts that Keon Coleman has been compared to (bigger with slower 40 times). Eric Moulds N/A Keenan Allen 4.71 (Pro Day) Anquan Boldin 4.71 Devin Funchess 4.70 Terrell Owens 4.63 Larry Fitzgerald 4.63 Cooper Kupp 4.62 Kelvin Benjamin 4.61 Allen Robinson 4.60 Tee Higgins 4.59 Plaxico Burress 4.59 Puka Nacua 4.57 DeAndre Hopkins 4.57 Michael Thomas 4.57 Davante Adams 4.56 Courtland Sutton 4.54 Mike Williams 4.54 Gabriel Davis 4.54 Brandon Marshall 4.53 Mike Evans 4.53 James Hardy 4.53 Dez Bryant 4.52 Michael Pittman Jr. 4.52 Vincent Jackson 4.51 Kenny Golladay 4.50 Keon officially ran a 4.61 at the Combine BUT... his top speed of 20.36 mph in the gauntlet drill is the fastest of any WR in 3 years running... Jimmy Horn had the fastest gauntlet speed in 2025 at 19.23 mph. Based on the rookie seasons of the above players, none of us can predict what kind of career Keon will have. I remain hopeful and optimistic.

Put differently, he's the least undeserving.

This is a funny line.

I thought we all agreed that we were going to have this conversation quietly.

A lot of people in this topic are posting about their preference to watch the games from the comfort of their own homes, for relatively cheap. Let me just say, enjoy it while you can.

You have a strange-looking groin... On the broader topic of the NFL and tattoos, did they ask Dion Dawkins what he would do?

How old is he?

Add to the above, the increase in willful ignorance and the growth of the anti-education movement mixed with a rising apathy for truth. Some people will believe anything (particularly if it supports their emotional biases) and others don't have the motivation or intellectual endurance to to seek something approximate to the truth. I understand the mention of Sports Illustrated as lending credence to the story. There was a time when they boasted a stable of writers such as Pat Forde, Peter Gammons, Frank DeFord, Rick Reilly, and Peter King... Sports Illustrated represented the pinnacle of sports journalism. Sports Illustrated is now a brand, operated under a license. They do not have an editorial board and they're on the brink of bankruptcy. It's been nearly a decade since they had any credibility. As far as local country music radio stations disseminating news, let the buyer beware.

This "indica-tes" cannabis. Cannabinoid. Cannabinoidal. These words make me laugh.

I think I watched it more consecutive times than you. It's almost addicting... especially with the closed loop and the audio of the crowd reaction! Not to mention, the new, improved pass rush. I feel like after last year's loss and the current state of both teams that the Bills are going to annihilate Houston. Good points but on balance I think this is one of the most favorable schedules in recent history... certainly in my memory (which isn't saying much... so disregard). In that case I think the Ravens have the edge simply based on probabilities.
