Years of banging your head against the wall deadens the pain! 😆

Things that really piss you off when driving.

That would work. Better than forcing themselves in. -
Hope not. Want some success!

- merging onto a highway and the person in the right lane won’t let you on. Even though the middle lane is empty, they won’t move over and allow a speedy entrance. - people who have to pull out in front of you/cut you off on a regular road when your going the speed limit, then they slow down to a crawl. Especially worse when there is not a car behind you and they could have pulled out after you. - we have a few intersections near me that go down to one lane right after the light. Why must people line up in the merging lane and assume they have the right of way? No, it’s called a MERGING lane for a reason. - people who have to dictate the road to you. Make sure they are in front of you as long as they can. - lastly. Those who hang out in the left lane going the speed limit. You know you’re going to cause more traffic problems/possible accidents? Just move out of the way and let the rest of us get on their way. -
Marquez Valdes-Scantling meeting with the Bills (UPDATE: Signed)
davefan66 replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
Meh. Never caught more than 690 yards in a season (Packers 2020). Did have 687 in KC two seasons ago. Does have a good avg at 17 for his career, probably 15.5 the last three seasons. Better than a few on our team currently, no more when WR4. -
Who knows what the future holds. I speculated Ruff was not the long term coach here if he had a short contract. 2 year contract is easy to get out of. If he takes us to the playoffs both years, or sniffs the cup, that oughta change. If he’s winning, he should stay HC. Plenty of teams in the pros have succession plans. Doesn’t mean it has to be followed.

We Sous Vide our wings for game day and then grill them in the lot. Come out super juicy and crispy. Cooking fresh wings takes too much time and run the risk of being over cooked.

Really loved this interview! Was much more relaxed than his intro video after being drafted. Smart kid, respectful and wants to learn and be great. I wish this kid all the best!

What everyone else said. Ripping hot. Thermometer to take the guess work out. Pull 8-10 degrees below desired doneness and let rest. I will add that a carbon steel pan is fantastic for cooking steak stovetop. Cooks like cast iron, but easier to care for. Heat distribution is fantastic! I use my carbon steel pan for homemade pizza. Amazing crust!

Don’t care for autographs. Certainly wouldn’t purposefully get a Brady autograph. Have a few from Jim Kelly though. One was given to me and the other is when he signed a football for my son when Kelly visited his pee wee football practice.

Fully expect him to be a post June 1 signing. Working out on his own, no issue there. Hope he is healed.

Gross. Not sure why this is here.

Deion Jones signed to 1-year deal per Schefter
davefan66 replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
Better coverage backup for Bernard? When he went down last year, who was it Dorian Williams and Dodson who ended up starting? Didn’t do a horrible job, but noticeable difference when Bernard was out. Had a lot of middle of the field plays from the start of last season that Milano would have been better at stopping. If we can get Jones back to form in this defense, or somewhere near it, good move. -
I’d like to see Hyde back just former leadership in the defensive backfield. Other than that, got a little younger and will have much more cap space next season. I don’t think Saleh is that good a head coach. Not too concerned about the jets.

What's the point of this team's philosophy?
davefan66 replied to Pine Barrens Mafia's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’ll take whatever receiver is best for the team. The guy that has the best chemistry with the QB. The guy with the most football smarts. A guy who fits the offense, instead of someone you feel the need to force feed the ball. Hill vs Shakir? You’re really saying you’d rather have speed and the catches he’s accumulated, vs an unproven guy. My question back to you is, didn’t the Chiefs win the last 2 Super Bowls after jettisoning Hill? Could care less Hill caught 238 balls for 3,509 yard last two seasons. Josh can read defenses is not a take. Plenty of guys he’s gone against tout that as one of his strengths. Not my take as much as NFL defenders who’ve played against him. Guy like him can’t be as successful as he is without the ability to read defenses. -
I don’t believe there will be any big additions to the roster this year. If any, it will be low money guys. I could see Shaq back, along with Hyde. Other than that, Beane knows there are some limitations to our roster, but he is serious about the cap this year and will hit the field with guys he has on the current roster. Next year will be different with this years cap purge. But expect us not to spend like drunken sailors to keep the cap under control. For years to come.

Speed is great, doesn’t win games. Ball control. RB’s who can get that 1-2 yards to keep the drive moving so the QB doesn’t get smoked. WR’s who actually CATCH the ball. O-line giving the QB time to set up and can block for the runner. Those are just a few things that help teams win. Speed wins? No, Dolphins can attest to that. You need smart players who play fast. Guys who can get open are more important than speed. Kincaid, Shakir showed they can do that last year. Need more of it. Josh needs to throw guys open, anticipate a little better. Having a guy who can win the contested ball is good, but that shouldn’t be how to play every down. Design plays to get the guy open. KC does a good job of that, kept a lot of drives going last year against us. Trade Josh?? His strengths are mobility, ability to read defenses, escape under pressure, strong arm for short and intermediate passes, team leader. The long ball offense has long ago died in the NFL, just ask the Raiders. -
Force feeding two guys the ball, one being a major diva, did not help this team. Them being gone helps the guys here get better. Shakir should only get better. Kincaid will only get better. Cook will see more balls. Coleman is better than people are giving him credit for. Would adding another guy have helped? Who knows. Should we have tried? Ultimately, Beane liked his own guys versus who was available. Shorter was projected 5th round by many. He was having a decent camp and preseason before being injured. Big guy/fast. Expect him to get a chance to be productive this year.

New Bill - former Lion Quintez Cephus signed (Update: Now released)
davefan66 replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not a guy I saw us signing. Especially with the gambling suspension. Had a decent 1st two seasons, averaging just over 15 yards per catch. Caught 20 and 15 balls. Camp body? I’d expect Beane to make more moves if he feels it’s warranted. And if we have cap space. -
Rank how? Do a WR for WR rating? Naw. Plenty of good WR rooms in the NFL. Not all of them do well. Need the right QB making the right reads. Offensive coordinator calling the best plays. Offensive line allowing for plays to develop. Way more than to a successful offense than just having the best receivers. Oh, and having one of the top 3 QB’s in the league helps. Have to ask? What do you rank the chiefs WR room? Probably pretty low. Won the Super Bowl.

😂😂 Ya got me! Honestly, with the way Diggs and Davis disappeared late in the season it makes sense they are gone. Davis dropping passes? His contract was not in the best interest of this team. And if Diggs wanted out, what kind of teammate is that?? Fans can be unhappy losing productive pieces. It’s the NFL, this stuff happens. We will move forward.
-
It’s not a popular opinion to believe the Bills WR room is better than last year. I think we are better this year for sure. Davis cost us with his drops last year. Love the guy, but was time to move on. Diggs is addition by subtraction. He was a locker room issue which was verified by a few people. Either way, both Diggs and Davis disappeared late last year. Harty and Sherfield were non contributors. Their fault? Maybe. first Offensive coordinator? Maybe. Shakir will have a breakout season. Coleman is going to be better than people think. Kincaid will be counted on for catches. Cook with the addition of Ray Davis will be more of a receiving threat. Samuel will be good. And don’t forget Justin Shorter. We will sign a a FA WR (per Beane) to fill out the receivers. Josh is our QB. We will be fine.
