    Houston, we have a problem. Game day advice needed.

    My son has a basketball game tonight at 7 PM. My wife’s birthday is today. 
     

    How do I watch this game with the complete focus that I need, and still maintain marital harmony? 
     

    (Note also this variable as it pertains to long term strategy: I have to still make the almost unwinnable case to go to the Steelers/Bills game, which conflicts with kids’ piano recital). 


    Do what any normal human would do. DVR the game, do the basketball and wife’s birthday, stay off this board and your phone, and watch it when you get home not knowing what happened.

    *2025 UB Football Thread*

    Wow I know he hasn't been good but how is a 7th year QB like Tiquan Roberson so damn awful and the fact that UB has no one else to turn to should also tell you something. His ass would be on the bench. Single-handedly giving Miami this football game.

    By the way a 46 is not like a 5-2 or a 3-4 exactly. It’s basically a 6-2 but the 4 base lineman are shaded to the weakside of the formation and two LBs are on the strong side of the formation l. The MLB and the SS are the two players off the ball then a 3 person secondary

    The Chief's Spin Cycle

    Last week you could not find a sane Chief's fan who believed Denver would be able to beat them.  You know, Denver has beaten up on soft teams.  The big, bad red machine was gonna put Denver in their rightful place.  No way Denver would be able to hold them below 20 points, yadadada..

     

    And then the come to Jesus moment happened as the FG sailed through the uprights as time expired. 

     

    It only took a few days for the shock to wear off before Chief's fans began spinning a new narrative.

     

    Having almost certainly lost the AFC West crown, they are now pivoting to:

     

    Once the Chief's go on the road in the playoffs as a low WC seed, Mahommes/Reed will cement their legacy with a WC run to the SB.

     

    I know we should be allied with the Chiefs this week against the Ponies team from Indianna, but I so badly want them dead and buried.  Another loss would all but do that.


    I am 100% rooting for the Colts. The Bills have to catch the Patriots first before we start worrying about Denver and Indy’s record

    Another Cook(s) for the Kitchen?

    I’m not totally against it as a raise the floor type player who is in for certain packages. He’s regressing but how much of that is opportunity/quarterback vs aging 
     

    I think your going to see Davis/Shavers/Palmer getting outside reps and Shakir/Coleman will get the slot snaps now that Kincaid is out

    It’s an outdated system that worked years ago because teams were predominately in 21 personnel. Very rarely do you see teams in that personnel package anymore. 
     

    In addition when the Bear front was successful the vast majority of the teams had statues of Quarterbacks and even the mobile ones aren’t like the ones you see today. This meant the likelihood of them getting past the Bear front and running was minimal. 
     

    The best and really only time to use it is in goaline situations but typically teams have gameplan specific goaline personnel packages based on talent now. 
     

    The only other time you could possibly run it is in 6 OL packages where you know it’s unlikely the eligible lineman is going out for a pass. 12 and 13 personnel maybe as well but new age TEs would carve that up

    Bills 2024 Draft

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I mean it’s not shaping up to be a really good class for sure. 
     

    I wasn’t a huge fan of Coleman but I understand why they took him. Wanted McConkey

     

    I was a huge Cole Bishop guy 

     

    I also was higher on Carter than most of the board and so far I’m wrong 

     

    I was a huge Davis fan as well. Still think he can be a solid NFL back with volume but he won’t get that in Buffalo 

     

    SVPG I thought was a good value pick and his selection to me is incomplete. Regardless a backup C/G with a 5th rounder who can become a starter is not a negative pick imo 

     

    Ulofoshio was a waste

     

    Solomon is a good pick for a 5th rounder. Key ST and role player, has impacted the QB at times when he got the opportunity

     

    Grable still has promise and wouldn’t surprise me if he’s in the Alex Anderson 6 OL role next year as the first guy to go in at Guard/Tackle

     

    Hardy they took as a PR guy only and Clayton was clearly a long term project guy. I think the Bills board was wiped out by the Hardy pick and they just shot a couple darts 

     

    It’s shaping up in its entirety to be a pretty bad draft overall. Fell off a cliff after the top 50 or so players and then sporadic good /role players throughout the rest 

    According to Cover 1, Coleman will be a healthy scratch (rumored for Texans game too)

    As an interesting exercise, I’m curious how you and @GunnerBill would redraft the guys picked in the top 2 rounds? To recap: MHJ, Nabers, Odunze, BTJ, Worthy, Pearsall, Legette, Coleman, McConkey, Polk, & Mitchell are the guys. 


    Well my predraft as a reminder was 

     

    1. MHJ

    2. Odunze

    3. Nabers

    4. BTJ

    5. McConkey

    6. Mitchell

    7.  Worthy

    8. Franklin

    9. Legette

    10. McMillian 

     

    If I had to rerank the guys based on what I’ve seen so far with hindsight

     

    1. Nabers

    2. Odunze

    3. Harrison

    4. McConkey

    5. BTJ

    6. Franklin

    7. Worthy

    8. Pearsall

    9. Coleman

    10. Legette

    11. Mitchell

     

    * I think you have to give Nabers the # 1 spot here. Odunze I’m going to give the slight edge over Harrison for two. I think Harrison can still be really good but I think Kyler Murray really holds him back with his inconsistency. 

     

    I think McConkey has earned the right to be # 4 with two consistent seasons so far while BTJ was explosive as a rookie. I could see why someone would take BTJ still over McConkey just based on how explosive he was as a rookie and upside is higher than McConkey. 
     

    I think then there is a big separation but I’d have Franklin at 6 as he’s starting to separate from the second group of WRs.  Still not sold on Worthy but after him is kind of a big drop off as he’s had productive games and is more deep shot gadget guy than consistent WR. 
     

    Ricky Pearsall would be much higher if he could stay on the field. Obviously getting shot is unexpected but now he got hurt again in year 2. When he is on the field he’s actually been really good. 
     

    Coleman, Legette, and Mitchell are interchangeable in my opinion. What type of disappointment do you want? Do you want injury prone, can’t catch but can separate, can catch but can’t separate. Take your choice of disappointing draft pick here
