Donuts and Doritos

More football, less tabloid / royal family intrigue please.

Cool behind the scenes video. Bills analytics guy said Kincaid has the best hands of any receiving prospect in the last 8 years. https://youtu.be/Br4dObawdZI

The question in the post though, is based on what we know now should we have more or less hype than last year. So you think the Jets are a tougher out w/ Rodgers than last year? I do. Given what we saw from Miami last year do you think they're a harder opponent than you did this time last year? I do. Do you think the opponents on the schedule are harder overall than last year? As I listed those Away games, yes I do. Bills have the 2nd hardest strength of schedule in the league (see link). This isn't to say they can't do it, it just appears it will be tougher this year. https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/analysis/2023-nfl-strength-of-schedule/ 10 points will never win a playoff game against Cincy or KC. (Points not stats win games. Our stats were better under Daboll however, more points per game & we were 3rd in points under him). Dorsey had no answers against Cincinnati & we were at home. Daboll never scored that few points in the playoffs w/ this group. We needed 2 Hines kick returns to overcome the Pats, the Offense did not score as many points that day as the Pats did (yes I agree that's also a problem w/ the D also). & Frankly they did not look nearly as explosive last season as they did w/ Daboll. That's not just what I saw, Joe Bascaglia, Joe Marino, Greg Cossell, Jeremy White, Chris Simms have all made the same observation. No picks or quick slants to scheme guys open and get quick yards. Some even questioned if we'd move on from him. His seat is warm. Another playoff game w/ 10 pts & he's probably gone. But it does take time to learn new jobs, hopefully this year goes better. But when combined w/ the other things I mentioned, I don't see how our hype & expectations this year should be higher than last year, which was the question posed. Hopefully it all comes together & they can get through all the obstacles.

There's questions there based on his performance last year.

We have a harder schedule this year (away @ Philly, KC, Cincinnati & Bolts) & the division will be harder. Plus we have a change at D. Coordinator, questions at MLB & Off Coordinator. So no.

If 27 is a grandpa, then I'm a corpse. 😳

Yes Please. I'll take some Poona.

Fair enough. Just seems an odd trend Beane keeps drafting 2 players at the same position he sees an immediate hole (DE, TE, CB, G). Would seem more efficient to spread it out. But like you said, we'll see what he does next year.

Guess not. At least we know next year will be 2 DTs.

That's how ya get holes in the roster. We're flush at guard but next year we won't have a single DT.

Hope so

We keep taking guys late that we try to stash on the practice squad, who gets poached by other teams. We're populating the NFL in our late picks. I like OL depth, but we've got to be able to roster our guys. We need a DT.

So he's a Ryan Bates. Already got one.

We have more guards then we can keep on the roster. Christ, he should draft a back up punter next. This is awful.

Another Guard? Is Beane drunk or just high?

It's trading out of 259 that takes a real shrewd GM.

Beane pounding the F5 trade back button to unfreeze his screen.

Feels like every time we're up ESPN is at commercial Maybe bc we keep trading back.

If you listed all the QBs taken in the 1st round, bet you'd find a high rate of busts there too. Doesn't mean teams aren't going to continue to draft them. This pick all depends how he's played. If they split him out like Beane said & like KC does w/ Kelce, he's going to be more like a WR & he'll be a star. It all depends on Dorsey (frankly if he can't do it, fire him & find someone who can). Personally, I love the pick.

ESPN write up says "body catcher" "focus drops" but blocks well & can threaten vertically. So he's Gabe Davis. Drops is a bad word when talking about WR

3D Chess.

Nice now we have 3 swings to strike out.

What'd we get? what'd we get?

They're the Philadelphia Bulldogs. Every time they see a Georgia player they say
