Down vote this all you want I don't care.
But the high amount of massively fragile male egos that flock to every post they can even remotely bash Swift in will never not be funny to me.
I think that folks are bashing the league and the favoritism that the refs are giving the Chiefs more than they are bashing Taylor Swift. She is just making millions and living her life. What's wrong with that?
Taylor Swift is not the one ignoring Bills players getting pulled around by their face mask. That would be the referees. She probably doesn't even know it is happening.

This topic is talking about whether he will retire, potentially after the Super Bowl.
In various other threads multiple posters are saying the NFL's traditional market is saturated and one way to expand it is via the the biggest musical star in the galaxy and her relationship with an eventual HOF Tight End.
Maybe her market needs diversification too?
Her "relationship" with Tom Hiddlestone was speculated on by many sources, even Business Insider had an article on it.
Any publicity is good publicility applies here. NFL/KC/Kelce/Swift gets extra exposure and everyone seems to want it.
The above is a very reasonable take.

Milroe's hands coming in so small will probably be a disaster for his draft stock. 8.75"? Geez. That's smaller than Joe Burrow and he was considered the outlier of all outliers to make it with small hands at QB. He should have taken one of those $3M NIL deals this offseason and proved he could play the position better with those small mitts because it would be a shot in the dark to take him before day 3 knowing that he is such a work in progress as a processor but also might be a natural turnover factory as a passer. Will be interesting to see what happens if he blows up at the combine and runs like a 4.39 at 6'2" 225.
I'm glad that he chose not to say in school, and I really thought that he would. He just isn't a good quarterback, and I am admittedly spoiled by Hurts, Tua, Mac, and Bryce.
When Jermaine Burton had his pro day in Tuscaloosa, he wanted Ty Simpson to throw to him instead of Milroe.
People remember him for that miracle pass in the Iron Bowl. It WAS a great play, but Auburn had a stupid defense which enabled it. They only rushed two defenders against the HUGE offensive line of Alabama. Check out how much time he had to throw.....

No, I don't. But I don't think it has, Ed excepted, the explosiveness I would want as a trade off for being on the smaller side. I think if you are going smaller you want to trade off to be explosion and speed and right now it isn't - neither at DL or at LB - and that is the issue. In the secondary Benford and Bishop are both decent athletes, less so Rapp, Douglas and Hamlin. The problem for Bishop is he can't cover a stationary object at this point and so he needs a lot of work to be ready to be a full time starter. Maybe the game slows down for him this offseason and he can come out and look like a different player. But right now the only use for him is as a full time "big nickel" or dime look box safety.
I haven't watched the Senior Bowl yet. Finished the Shrine Bowl last night and about to write it up, will get to the Senior Bowl at some point this week. I know you have never been a Milroe guy. I really don't have a strong opinion on him, these days with the Bills not needing one I do the Quarterbacks last in my e v a l process, but my instinct from watching a few 'Bama games the past couple of years is he is a mid-round pick. The problem is, as you say, this is a really thin QB class. I think it might be a year where true draftable grades it will be like 5 or 6 guys at best. And there are lots of teams who need one.....
I'm no expert but I think that this is one of the worst drafts I have seen in a very long time. There does however seem to be plenty of tight ends, and the Bills don't have a need at that position.
Btw where do you see Jaxon Dart going? I think that he will be a good QB in the NFL.
-
GB, how much of an impact do you think this game had on Jalen Milroe's draft status? I for one think that even in a weak QB class, his stock went drastically lower. I am not, nor was I ever a fan of his as a quarterback. I have seen him projected as an early first round pick and I just don't get it. I wouldn't take him in the third or even fourth round.

Man, I’m just over the rigging conversation. I feel like James Cook. Also, why aren’t people making millions betting on KC if it’s rigged? They have had really low odds the last 2 years.
It isn't like the old days CB. The league doesn't really care about point spreads as much as they care about camera shots of Taylor Swift. They need wins for the Chiefs so they can show her again and again.
I will however say that this cannot go on indefinitely. I truly believe that a majority of NFL Fans either think, or strongly suspect that these games are rigged and the Chiefs are getting favorable calls. If it doesn't stop at some point the NFL is the WWE.
Of course, this is jmo.

Yeah, the SB would have no one watching if KC didn’t make it. The nfl definitely rigged the game so they would have viewers this year.
All due respect Bill, you are like the one millionth person to say that. 😂 like Vegas won’t even offer this as a prop bet.
CB, young girls will be watching this game that don't care at all about football. She is as big as (or the closest thing to) Elvis and the Beatles. Advertisers are not unaware of this.
As for my prediction, I had not seen it anywhere else. I thought I was being original. 😒

If the Chiefs win, Kelce will propose to her on the field, after the game.
You heard it here first lol.

Dave, I always have (and still do) consider you to be a very good poster. That said, I'm really not concerned at all what you think of me, or my posts.
If you do not think that this game was influenced by the league, the refs, and the marketing value of Taylor Swift I think that is wonderful. If you think that cornerbacks (and McDuffie is very good) determined the outvome of this game more than the marketing value that Taylor Swift brings to the league, more power to ya.
Above, you cite the Houston game. I'm glad that it meant a lot to you. To me it meant zero. There are podcasts galore claiming that our game was rigged, complete with insane spots, and uncalled face mask penalties against the Chiefs. If you think this game was decided by cornerback play, congrats!
Finally, yes; I will be unhappy if the Bills draft a first round corner because I think that they have other more important needs. I will however be happy for you. and I'm serious. Again, I would regret the pick but it would be nice to know that at least one fellow fan/poster will be lounging in cornerback heaven.
Be well.

The Bills arguably lost to KC because of fielding marginal, low-athletic-skills secondary players vs KC. It's a huge need.
Imo Taylor Swift presents a better argument.

None of which have any relevance to this regime.
Of course you are 100% correct. It's just leftover burnout on my end.

Wrong analysis
We lost to the Giants because of Levy not reigning in Kelly
We lost the next three because the NFC was the far superior conference and Washington and Dallas were bigger, stronger, and faster.
We lost to KC in the 13 second game because McD choked.
We lost the next three playoff games becuase the team was gassed after Hamlin, injuries on defense and Bass, and then this year because Brady sucked and Allen played a B+ game.
I've been a McDermott critic since 13 seconds and I would have fired him last year in favor of Harbaugh or Belichick.
Now there is no one better to get. Run it back one more year. 2025 is mostly on Beane. He has to find a #1 WR and fix the DL and secondary. He will have the cap space and draft capital to do both.
You forgot to mention Taylor Swift.

Yes. They do. It is those two and Cole Bishop. That's it. In 8 drafts.
Yes and James Williams, Henry Jones, Thomas Smith, Jeff Burris, Antoine Winfield, Nate Clements, Donte Whitner, and Leodis McKelvin also send their regards. The list of running backs also wanted to say hi but I told them to check in later.

As I have demonstrated to you before though this regime's investment in DBs on the first two days of the draft (3 picks in 8 drafts) is a league low. The only position they have depriotitised more in the first 3 rounds of the draft has been Wide Receiver.
Yes, you have made this clear. Tre White (in lieu of Mahomes) and Kaiir Elam both say hi.

I do think corner is in play but by the time the Bills get on the board at their spots end of the 2nd the board is pretty cleared out.
One thing time has taught me is that corner (and safety) are always in play for the Buffalo Bills, especially in round one.

Is Derrick Harmon truly a better DT than Walter Nolen? I know nohing at all about Harmon but Nolen is a monster. I have watched him play for years and he is really tough to move. I even doubt that Nolen will be there that late.
In any event thanks for the post.

During the drought, we always had hope. The hope came from the idea that “Once we get our franchise QB, it will be our time”.
The above is where I strongly disagree. The teams during the drought could have had Tom Brady as QB and still would have sucked. Why? Because none of those teams had even a decent offensive line. How many good blockers can you name during the drought? Jonas Jennings? He was pretty good for a while and we lost him to free agency. Ruben Brown? He was very good but surrounded by bad players. Jason Peters? He was GREAT and we traded him. I am not going to bother naming them because the list is too long, but our OL consisted of some of the worst players in the NFL. So, who would they draft early? Running backs (with no blocking) and secondary.
Today our OL is good, sometimes very good. They can hold off some great defenders, but it is hard trying to block Taylor Swift. The refs don't allow it. They showed fewer camera shots of her on Sunday. The league heard the grumbling that fans were thinking the games are fixed and got nervous. She still got the winning call on the fourth down and we lost.
In summary, I would much rather watch the Bills now than during the drought, unless we are facing Taylor Swift.
Btw, I am expecting a down on one knee marriage proposal on Super Bowl Sunday. You heard it here first.
-
I voted "other." I still think he has too much power in the draft. Good coach but there needs to be a strong GM.
Jmo.

Our current OL is very good, but I might have overrated them just a bit because of how bad they were for decades.
I know all about Jalen Hurts. He is a very strong player and squats huge amounts of weight. He has been doing so since his early college days. The thing is, Josh is bigger and stronger than Hurts, yet when the Eagles untilze the tush push they are virtually unstoppable. I was expecting the same results from the Bills. It will be quite interesting to see how the Eagles fare with the tush push against KC. I have a feeling that it will work but we will see.
I think that McDermott should continue to draft receivers. He should also draft more blockers to add talent and depth to the (already good) OL. I didn't like the trade away from Worthy and posted as much at the time. My position was if they thought Coleman was going to be great, they wouldn't have traded back. As it stands we gave the Chiefs Mahomes and Worthy, and I remind folks that Beane wasn't there for the Mahomes trade.
In any event, the Bills played hard. They gave it all they had and they are ours. We will never be out of contention with a healthy Josh Allen. I for one am going to keep the faith and not freak out like I used to. It didn't do me any good.

My heart says the bills are 100% winning.
My mind and body says ptsd, anxiety, suffering, gut wrenching heart break, devastation, depression
can anyone else relate?
Of course! I was not even confident being up with 13 seconds remaining. Unfortunately, I am not the most optimistic person by nature. I can't really explain it but I feel different going into this game and I'm not sure why. I don't have my normal dose of anxiety, mixed with nervous frustration. I think that we are going to win.
We will soon see what happens but I gotta say that it feels good to go into a playoff game feeling this way.
GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch out now, take care
Beware of falling swingers
Dropping all around you
The pain that often mingles
In your fingertips
Beware of darkness -
The mountain is high, the valley is low
And you're confused on which way to go
So I've come here to give you a hand
And lead you into the promised land, so
Come on and take a free ride (free ride)
Come on and stand here by my side
Come on and take a free ride
