I think what makes Buffalo at a competitive disadvantage is who may not be vaccinated. Beasley and Davis are two of our top 4 WRs. We all saw what our DL was like last year with Star. And Milano and AJ are two key LBs. Oy. If it was special teams players, we'd be having a different discussion ... if at all.

agreed. If it’s a rotator cuff tear requiring surgery he’s out for the season.

Happy to hear his kid is safe! Love to see how he smiles when he talks about him.

I'm sure he gets paid very well for his work. This is Palmer's gig, so I don't think gifts are involved. It is likely a consulting contract with Jordan's company.

Jake Kumrow probably won't make this team. Why would the Packers trade for a guy that will be cut?

I've started a GoFundMe fundraiser and an online petition to do so. Please join the movement!

Hope he's wrong, or this could impact the Bills for years: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/07/04/fmia-guest-michael-holley-on-andrew-berry-and-the-forward-looking-browns-5-draft-hits-misses/

Makes me proud to be a Bills fan. There's no reason why what you do outside of work in your relationships / who you care about / who you love should make a difference at all in anything. I'm glad that fewer people feel the need to keep this hidden, as if it is some evil little secret that is something horrible. It isn't. That said, I don't think all teams in the NFL at the time would have thought the same way. It says a lot about the guys on that team.

They definitely need more competition in camp for the 1 tech position. We've got a player who is still coming off a serious injury and a guy who didn't play last season. I think Star is a good player, and Harrision has potential, but we need to do better than that at 1 tech.

I can see your point. At the same time, you can criticize Whaley and like what McCoy did at the same time. It's not his fault whaley was a moron. He still balled out, and even the years that weren't as statistically good (except for the last - he was done), he was still a player to raised the level of players around him, especially when the team was lacking talent - which is the fault of Whaley.

Exactly. He could shut up about it and be fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, no matter how idiotic and uninformed. I don't agree with him, but he has a right to that opinion 100%. But he's got to be an obnoxious little MTG about it, and cause a distraction on a team that is trying to win the Superbowl. He's being very selfish. Don't cut him. Trade him.

It is, but you can't use it all the time. I get kidney stones, and the combination of toradol and dilaudid is awesome. Allows me to get by with less dilaudid. But it definitely messes with you kidneys.

His premises are incorrect. When you realize his premises are incorrect, it is easy to dismantle his argument. He states that a step back is, "inevitable." This is not a factual statement, and therefore the rest of his argument is false. This is basic logic.

Colton Schmidt is the player of the week! https://thespringleague.com/?p=6137

I'm a manager at my day job. I take leadership very seriously, and it is very difficult to do well. I look to McDermott as someone who does it right. He leads from the front. He's there for his people both personally and professionally. His message is consistent. He treats everyone the same. He preaches love of your fellow teammate. You have no idea how hard all that stuff is to do, but I guarantee you've all had bad managers who either couldn't pull it off, or didn't even try. Cheers to McD.

Want instant publicity? Say something negative about Buffalo or the Bills. Ignore him, and all the other troll bastards.

Maybe none of the 5th round choices are any better than any of the the 6th round choices. You get to the lower half of the 5th through the 7th and they are all pretty much the same, right?

Made the AFC Championship game last year. Found our franchise QB. Hit on a number of other important picks, FA pickups, and trades. Has shown they know when to let someone walk - Lawson, etc. Yeah, it would be silly to bet against them.

That's a lot of picks (I know equivalent to a 2nd) for a tackle who will want an expensive contract. Not having all those picks is going to come back to bite them, as those are valuable, low-dollar draft picks who help build a franchise. Brown is cheap now, but with all their other high-dollar players, how are they going to pay him? What if he walks next year? That's a ton for a guy they might not have under contract but for one year.

Maybe a good incentive would be that you don't need to wear masks on the sideline if you are vaccinated. It is outside, although you are within 6 feet of people. And selfishly, it drives me crazy seeing people who can't properly wear a mask. I know it is the OCD in me, so forgive me!

A strong 1 tech that commands double teams is key to a good pass rush. We don’t really have that other than Star. We have plenty of 3 tech, but we aren’t good enough at 1. We need to get one, somehow.

After Star, we're extremely weak at a 1 technique DT. I'm hoping we can find one. The way we rotate, there needs to be good depth behind Star. We saw what happened last year when he wasn't there. The D wasn't as good, and we had trouble getting to the QB. So that's what I'm hoping for somewhere in the remaining offseason.

Well that’s a really good point. Beane is a straight shooter.

could be, but I think Beane sees the value in spreading the cap hit out. Allows him to get paid, but also allows flexibility for the future. We’ve seen so many teams hamstrung from competing by the QB’s contract. One of the reasons the Cheatriots were able to compete for so long is because Brady kept his hit low.

Pretty clear to me this is for Josh Allen.
