Night and day
You are the one
Only you beneath the moon and under the sunWhether near to me or far
It's no matter darling where you are
I think of you -
We can change the world
Re-arrange the world
It's dying ... if you believe in justice
It's dying ... and if you believe in freedom -
No other pro teams to any large extent. My teams are the Buffalo Bills and the University of Alabama Crimson Tide, both for many decades.
I must say that the joy of being an Alabama fan did offset much of the agony of some of our painful Bills losses.
GO BILLS!!!!! ROLL TIDE!!!!!!

Brandon probably hired Marrone because he was his syracuse butt buddy. They were quite the losing pair.
He coached at Alabama for one season as the offensive line coach. Of course I have absolutely no way to verify this but from what I heard, Saban was not at all pleased with him.

Even if he hasn’t found Jesus suddenly, they could steal a season out of a guy if he can simply be a little erratic but not disastrous for 6 months.
This won’t be a marriage, it’s just a one night stand.
Burton not only gets open, he could find his way into the end zone at Alabama. His behavior was his problem. He slapped a female Tennessee Fan who rushed the field after a game, and people who I am in contact with that live down there said that he has issues.
If he did find Jesus, the Bills have themselves a good receiver. Do I expect this to happen? The odds don't seem to be great but you never know.

He’s a worse version of Keon off the field but a better version on it
That is a very good summary.

The chances that he has turned it around character wise are minimal. Hypothetically, if he has, he is likely better than both Palmer and Coleman.
I cannot argue with any of the above.

I saw every college game of his. The kid finds a way to get open and has good hands. That said, he has had issues that started before he even got to Alabama. If the Bills coaches have problems with him they can and should just throw him off the team. It's as simple as that.

I don't know how this whole business started
Of you thinkin' that I have been untrue
But if you think that we'd be better parted
It's gonna hurt me, but I'll break away from you
Just give me the sign and I will be gone
Yeah, yeah, yeah'Cause that's how much I feel
Feel for you, baby
(How much I need) well I need your touch
(How much I live) I live for your loving
That's how much (that's how much)
That's how much, that's how much -
I know the moment isn't right
To tell the girl a comical line
To keep the conversation light
I guess I'm just frightened out of my mindBut if that's how I feel
Then, it's the best feeling I've ever known
It's undeniably real
Leave a tender moment alone -

I've somewhat warmed up to the pick. I think the initial shock came from not thinking of CB as a need. I think the fanbase as a whole has misunderstood what kinds of players Leonhard wanted Beane to acquire for his scheme. Surely he told Beane he needed a big press corner for certain packages. I'd rather not be drafting role players that early but that is what this draft class amounted to after the first 50ish picks, it was role players and depth.
As for Igbinosun the player, I don't know if he has the hip fluidity to ever be more than just a role player. I am biased in favor of size and physicality so that aspect of his game makes it easier for me to swallow. I recognize the Elam comparisons but Igbinosun is slightly taller with significantly longer arms (91st percentile vs 30th percentile) so I think the athletic profile fits the projected role better than Elam did. I'll trust that Leonhard has a plan in mind for the skill set.
I do admire your optimism. Seriously. As Bills Fans we have been well trained to look for silver linings wrt the draft. I didn't flip out this time as I have done time and again. There is nothing I can do about it and it doesn't help my blood pressure LOL.
I don't like this draft but maybe I am wrong. It certainly won't be the first time. All we can do is cheer for the Bills and hope for the best.
GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your rain falls like crazy fingers
Peals of fragile thunder, keeping time
Recall the days that still are to come
Some sing blue
Hang your heart on laughing willow
Stray down to the water
Deep sea of love
Beneath the sweet calm face of the sea

He was arrested twice in 2024, the second one for domestic violence.

I watched every play of his at Alabama. The kid is very tough and a good player. I knew we had no chance at him unless Knox was a cap casualty.

There is a domestic violence incident in his past.
Google AI shows no record of him being arrested.
For the record, this pick doesn't disturb me as much as you and others could reasonably expect it to. With VERY few exceptions, this is about where safeties should be drafted in today's NFL.

I don't see why people are angry. Look, I know that getting another quality receiver or more depth on the OL makes sense for a team with a future HOF QB. I get this, but ya know; You can't have too many corners! What we need to do today is draft at least one more corner, and follow up with a safety or two. Next year we can do the same thing. Maybe I will host a cornerback party.
The Buffalo Bills are the "Groundhog Day" of drafting cornerbacks and it will never end. Now, it's time to trade up for a safety.

Great pick! 16 penalties in 2024..... who cares? This is exactly the player that a team with Josh Allen needs to focus on. In fact, I guarantee that Josh was overjoyed when he saw this pick flash on the tv screen.

There’s a few twitter reports from unverified sources saying the Bills attempted to trade up for KC Concepcion
Why trade up when you can have a room full of 7th round picks? I mean really.

I was okay with that but they would have had to pay a premium to come up. The Pats got a discount.
Overall, I am fine with the strategy especially if they’re targeting non-premium positions. I don’t care about the 5th year option on an ILB or run-stuffing DT. Unless it was a standout, like Thieneman, taking a good player at a non-premium position isn’t ideal in round 1 IMO. I would much rather have more picks.
The Bills have more holes this year than in recent years and seem to be approaching this as a “meat and potatoes” draft. They’re obviously looking for difference makers, like everybody but they’re likely trying to fill as many holes as they can. This is a quantity draft.
The above is a very good post and i hope that you are correct. Color me paranoid from just so many previous draft fiascos.

Remember we traded back with KC so they could get the WR they wanted in 2024. Beane doesn’t seem to care who he trades with, though I agree it’s a bit strange to help your biggest rivals at the time.Yeah we do have a history, at least going back to 2017 when McDermott handed Mahomes to KC. Hey, maybe these odd moves will work this season. We can only hope, but yes; giving a super bowl participant divisional rival a chance to improve does look strange to me.

I think it was kinda strange to allow NE, a divisional rival and winner, to get the player that they wanted. I'm not sure how common this is. Maybe Miami didn't want to help the Bills by trading Waddle to us. The following is from Google AI:
Divisional trades in the NFL are relatively uncommon due to the reluctance of teams to strengthen a direct competitor. While rare, they do occur, particularly if both teams feel the deal benefits them. A recent example includes the Eagles trading with the Cowboys to move up in the 2026 draft.

I think the strategy is fine - especially if swinging for something like LB-DT-secondary tonight
Solid guys at non premium positions can certainly still be had across the next 60
that leaves day 3 for a lil depth at OL, a couple projects at wr and in the secondary.
If that is their strategy it is a poor one imo. When Josh Allen is your qb and more talent is needed at WR, a team's focus should be on giving him more weapons and protection, not LBs, DTs, and secondary. Yes, of course these positions matter, but again; Josh Allen is our QB. If the Bills neglect the WR and OL positions, he just might get pissed off.

I'll be honest, I think that is early for Simpson, even before you factor in that he isn't going to play for a year or two..... there goes your guy @Bill from NYC
I have to be right once in a while.
That said, not enough corners were drafted so far. 😒

Some of the biggest regrets you have in life?
in Off the Wall

That is a very interesting question, yet an easy one.
I wish I would have been better at enjoying the moments. For four years I worked on what the FBI called the worst block in the USA, so I was under quite a bit of stress. It was fun at times mind you, but it was all consuming. I had to work tons of overtime to pay for a house and support three daughters and didn't get enough time to spend with my babies. Even after I transfered it was a high stress situation. Now, I'm a grandfather. All three of my girls are very successful. I see them at least three times per week and I cherish every second. I'm even getting emotional typing this.
My advice to young fathers is this: This is your life. Some day your children will have families of their own. Enjoy every moment of them being young. Everything, even doctor visits are times that you can't get back. Stay away from other women (if you are married) no matter how hot they are because ultimately, your children are what matter most.
I may come off as a little grumpy (about the Bills drafting defensive backs), but I am extremely happy. However, I pine for the days when my beautiful babies would help me with my garden. Little things like that.
OK, end of unsolicited lecture.
