I’ve definitely seen him bail from clean pockets at times, which also messes up the timing of the routes. Not that we had receivers that could always be counted on to get open if he stuck it out and waited for the route(s) to develop, but Josh brought some of that pressure onto himself. If there’s one thing I’d love to see him improve in his game, it’s the pre-snap processing, immediately knowing where to go with the ball if the defense gives you a certain look and stays in it. I think if he were to elevate that aspect of his game, the Mahomes/Allen debate would be more fruitful - and this is with the acknowledgment that Mahomes isn’t the best pre-snap processor, he just makes less mistakes than Josh and is willing to hang in the pocket longer, or scramble around like a squirrel until a guy pops open.

Josh walks on water with some 😅

Anywhere but a football field! Did I do that right? 🤣

They say by the time the lawyers get through, those subscribers will be lucky to get $100 from a class action lawsuit.

The literal world knows who this girl is now. I saw people from other countries asking what is America’s fascination with this girl/conversation? It was cool for the first couple days, but to hear it still being talked about on the radio after that? It’s weird. Like we all needed something to cling onto or connect over.

Reading this board, you’d think almost every pass play Allen was under duress, when that couldn’t have been further from the truth. The line pass blocked very well, even with Allen holding the ball. If he was a first read QB like Tua, Cousins, or Purdy, the protection numbers would look even better. The OL last year was a strength for the first time in years. No Vlad Ducasse types starting. We’ll see if it can match (or exceed) the production this year with potentially two new positional starters.

Someone else said to use that money to give Allen a pay raise in an effort to keep up with the QB market. I don’t like that option, even if Allen deserves a contract at $55M/yr.

I saw this thread yesterday, but didn’t bother clicking on it because I wasn’t really interested in learning about the “National Girls Flag Football League” (I thought it was this given all the coverage of the high school girls). How very wrong I was having just seen an article by Beasley questioning “why?” I immediately came to this thread to see what I missed!

At the end of the day, the article released by Dunne may have done McD and the Buffalo Bills a favor. Does the team rally in the following games without the shakeup? Was it a distraction from whatever else may have been going on at the time? Did McD read the article in its entirety and learn truthful things about himself? He seems like a very self reflective man. Where you all might condemn Dunne, I’ll thank him. Time will tell, but it might’ve been the shot McD and this franchise needed.

Punter or not, this still stings.

I don’t know how Japanese women are with respect to riches and especially in 1974, but you could also look at it like this: if Hiro Onoda was an American citizen with millions in the bank and came home in 2024 to a hero’s welcome, my guess is he’d have a much tougher time finding the genuine love of his life, the woman who only wanted him because he was a hero. He’d be swarmed by American women and likely would’ve chosen someone else before he ever got to the one he married. I don’t mean to diminish his hero status, fame is a measure of power, but money AND fame? Forget it. That’s what already grants you access to 50% of women you’ve never even met.

I do think a woman might respect a man for his genuine skills and talents if those are the reason for why he’s a millionaire, but at the end of the day money is money. $50M is $50M no matter if earned or won. Take the ugliest man, gift him $50M and make it public, then circle back a week later to ask him how it’s going with the ladies. I’m sure he’d tell you something similar to what Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) said, “feels like I got a facelift.” Money is power and they all want it.

Oh yeah, it’s obvious what Bill would see in dating a woman that young and of course it’s not as a soul mate. Don’t know why you think I implied as much when I mentioned sex from her perspective.

I don’t know how a woman that young could have any sexual interest in someone as old as Bill, but I guess the Presidents on those green backs are sexy enough. Good for both of them.

No, it’s just that - hyper analysis of a few reps. Coleman could beat Ingram 8/10, but because we were only told about two, one that got the defense excited, we look at those two and form (too early) opinions. Would you like to see Coleman win 10/10 reps given his importance to our season? Of course! Did Ingram ever have the defense excited after going 1 on 1 vs Diggs? I wonder how often he stopped Stefon. Or even Gabe.

If they didn’t want green, the only pairing worse would be the Jets and Eagles. Great job, NFL. None of them want to be playing a game all the way in São Paulo Brazil anyway.

Yeah, that’s what I said when I heard Elam was getting the better of him: it’s way too early to arrive to any definitive conclusion. Elam was a former 1st round pick and has a high athletic ceiling, I wasn’t overly concerned Coleman was struggling against him in his first NFL camp. But bottom of the roster Jamarcus Ingram? Coleman doesn’t have to come in setting the world on fire, or looking the part right off the bat, but as your top WR selected you’d hope he already had the skill to toy with a practice squad CB.

I’m a Keon Coleman fan, I loved his highlight video more than most of the receivers coming out. With that said, Parrino also mentioned Jamarcus Ingram was holding his own with Coleman, even had the defensive sideline hooting and hollering. I wasn’t bothered when I heard Elam was getting the better of him on some reps, but now Jamarcus Ingram? Hmmm…

I forgot Deion Jones signed here. If he can recapture any of what he used to be, talk about quality LBer depth!

There was just an article in the Athletic about the “big four” now becoming the “big five.” The big four used to be QB, LT, DE, and CB, now not only can we add WR to that list, but there are currently no CBs making more than $22M/yr. There’s close to 20 WRs currently making over that amount (with more due to sign). Athletes that left RB to become CB will now leave that position to become WR.

But those RBs are still asked to do more than any other skill position on offense. They rush the ball, they block for the QB, they run pass routes, they touch the ball on average 2-3x more than any WR1. Their value has gone down because it’s such a passing league now, but a great RB should definitely be rewarded more than the $13M/yr they’re currently slotted. For all they’re asked to do and how many times they touch the ball, they have a real gripe with the salary cap. The list of WRs who out earn players like CMC, Saquon, and Jacobs to name a few is a tragedy.

$35M AAV, yikes. If I was GM I’d much rather take the Packers approach, where I have a stable of young, cheap, and good WRs, versus one commanding that amount. Jefferson is a great talent, likely a future first ballot HoFer, but that’s A LOT of money to tie into a position that’s dependent on the QB. Oh well, it’s not the Bills money. Receivers around the NFL rejoice!

How did I know this thread would devolve into talk about a rape charge he was acquitted for? Even though he’s been cleared, let’s run him out of town! Where are the Bills babes on this?

First thing he probably needs to do, besides working with a DL coach or at least an experienced player, is add about 10-15 more pounds. He’d be the same size as Aaron Donald and Ed Oliver, possibly a much better athlete, though with a whole lot less experience.
