    Do I think it plays a part? Sure. But there is also a good degree of randomness to them. 

     

    There is randomness to which side recovers a fumble but that's about it.  McD's playoff philosophy, especially when Leslie was his DC, was "we're not going to change what got us here."  That's a terrible philosophy in the playoffs against elite playcallers and game planners and it probably explains the turnover discrepancy @HappyDays cited.

    That's not accurate.  Watch this in its entirety and tell me which route you don't see.

     

     


    I see Justin Jefferson-like skills in those clips.

    Anquan Boldin, George Pickens dropped in the draft because of the "can't separate" crap. Coleman makes plays!! He "Moss" DBs. He returns punts. Played at Mich. St, cold climate. Think Drake London who went top 10 in the draft last year. Or Courtland Sutton. I'm good with Keon. 


    Pickens dropped because of character concerns not separation ability.

  3. While I am fine with the signing, for this kind of money they could’ve landed D Hop last offseason.  I would really like to get past the era where Beane is still learning hard lessons.  I mean at least he adapts, but damn.

    He played just well enough the last half of his last season here that you almost wonder if you'll miss him.  Then you remember he sucked 90 percent of his time here.


    Gonna go out on a limb and guess that math isn’t your strong suit.

    I like the move, not a huge move but a positive consistent outside WR who is fairly young (will be 28 this upcoming season) and signed to a nice deal. Stats wise he's not that dissimilar from Gabe Davis factoring in that while Gabe had more yards and TD's the past two seasons Samuel was not having Josh Allen throwing to him. Samuel also has a much higher catch percentage with 68% and 69% catch percentages compared to Gabe's rather bad 51% and 55% catch percentages. 

     

    It doesn't mean that I still don't think that the Bills shouldn't draft a WR up high as they have to think about adding both depth and someone to down the line take over for Diggs whose suddenly entering his age 31 season and WR's usually hit the wall around age 32/33. BUT this does at the very least give the Bills some flexibility in terms of where they can go with picks 28 and 60. They can trade down to pick up extra picks in this and the 2025 draft if a trade-down presents its self. They can overload the WR position and just take one at pick 28 or they can address another need (maybe take the best center in the draft and just build a wall on the O-line or take a defensive player). 

     

    It can kind of look like a lateral move replacing Gabe with a player who puts up similar numbers (but given that Samuel is significantly cheaper a lateral move is still a positive move) but I like the fit better with Samuel being a more sure handed reciever. Drops can kill an offense and having a player with a much better catch percentage on similar volume makes a positive impact and opens up the draft board. 


    Samuel can actually uncover within the first 5-10 yards; Gabe can’t.

    This play encapsulates what a knucklehead he is.  Notice he gets open, gets the ball, then slides down without being touched.  He’s a weird guy on and off the field.  Has some Robert Royal to his game - he’ll get wide open then let the ball bounce off his his facemask 20 yards into the air. 
     

    This guy is a true clown show.

    Remember when we traded  Wyatt for a late pick? How did that turn out?

     

    Not saying Bates is the next Wyatt but man it’s rough to see decent oline guys go


    Not the year to be a hoarder.

    My honest opinion? This is one of the weakest highlight videos I've ever seen for a supposedly 1st round talent.

     

    First of all nearly half the video is punt returns. Not a good sign when you have to fill time in a highlight video with plays that will be irrelevant when he hits the NFL (unless you are drafting a punt returner in the 1st round).

     

    More importantly every single pass catching highlight is the same. He catches the ball in open space and then zips by the defense at lightning speed. Where are the routes? Where is the shiftiness with the ball in his hands? Where are the catches outside of his frame? Can he find holes in zone? A couple times in these highlights he catches a vertical pass that is a tiny bit out in front of him and he falls to the ground while securing the catch, like a simple soft catch knocked him over.

     

    This looks like a mid-round pick to me. For him to be successful the play has to be set up specifically for him to receive the ball in space because he isn't going to set plays up on his own. The pass will have to be perfect and he'll have to hope the defense takes a bunch of bad angles. I don't see any shiftiness on his tape at all. He actually gets caught from behind more than a couple of times because he doesn't understand how to force bad angles. He's the definition of a straight line player.

     

    If any team takes Worthy in the 1st round it will end as badly as John Ross IMO.


    Sounds like an Al Davis pick.  When they hit, they hit big - but the misses were notable too.

    I think the Cover 1 people have given some fans the impression that re-structuring contracts doesn't ALWAYS come at the expense of the future cap by implying that the Bills cap situation is just naturally going to get better.   

     

    The Bills will have to work and make some tough decisions to make it better.    They weren't very forthright about that.   Thompsett knows better but as anyone who saw that video knows,  they are a very sentimental group.       

     

    I'm not interested in guaranteeing Morse base salary by distributing it over void years and missing that opportunity to save $8M asap and move on.............Nor am I interested in doing extensions for Morse or Bates.   Ideally neither is on the roster by 2025 so I don't want to have another $10M+ in dead cap tied up in them in 2025.

     

    I'm done with running it back with all of these guys that were 6-5 at midseason 2 of the past 3 seasons and looked tired in the playoffs in each of the past 3.

     

    Time for a re-tool.   And a good draft year to have playing time opportunities available instead of all being blocked by over-priced vets.

     


    I keep thinking about how fun it would be to find like 3 young WRs, rookies or younger FAs, who can come in as a group and develop together with Josh for the next 3-5 years.  Sort of like what the Packers have done.  Find some cheap, fast talent on offense and let them grow together.

    What statistics were wrong? Amazing how the "true" story of Tulsa didn't come out until two years ago, but we're supposed to believe the new version without questioning why we never heard it.

     

    Lies are being told about cases that happened in modern day ("Breonna Taylor was shot in bed!"), but somehow revisionist history from an event 100 years ago is gospel? Okay.


    I guess in addition to being inherently more violent, Black people are also inherently better at P.R.?
