    OBD used Steve Tasker as a ST only guy for his first 9 years .. we didn't complain about that

    There were no message boards back then, at least not that anyone but real geeks used. Sports fans haven't changed, it's just that we have the ability to make asses out of ourselves (semi) publicly now. I'm sure if there were messages boards back in the 1925 the Yankees' board would have had a 100+ page thread on Wally Pipp vs Lou Gehrig.

    He's extremely tough, fast and a captain

     

    He's also able to return kicks and play all sptms 

     

    He can play rb, wr and slot wr in a pinch. He has also play cb in an emergency. He did for one year with the raiders. He also runs 4.33

      

     

    He's basically one of the best special teams players in the NFL 

     

     

     

     

    Get outta here with your "facts!" This thread is for whining about how our 3rd string OG is not an all-pro. 😁

    I presume we are going for every 4th down then? 

     

    On a serious note I am not against the Bills holding him out until there is some resolution. Ideally the Commissioner would out him on the exempt list. 

    Apparently he can't be put on the exempt list because this occurred prior to him being drafted.

    Jones seems to have some kind of halo effect with some in media, especially old timers. It seems like they view him as the perfect old school cerebral accurate QB. Personally I find it laughable. Kind of like longing for the days of the Model T with these guys like Charlie Weis and Mike Tanenbaum.

    This is what I think. He does check a lot of old school boxes. GMs loved him because you knew exactly what you were getting. People in NE are expecting a second year leap, but there is no where for him to go. Any flaws in his game that could be improved by coaching were corrected at some passing academy a decade ago.

    In the NFL, once you get down to the final 5-6 teams (meaning the Divisional Round), everything is really just a toss-up.

     

    Fans worry too much about who is the "overall best team" in the league -- when in reality the last few games usually come down to specific matchups, injuries, who is on a hot streak, and just a little bit of luck.  That's why the recipe for a championship is... win your division, get at least one home playoff game and hopefully the chips fall the right way.

     

    Think about it.  Add a squib kick, and remove a blocked punt... we easily could have gotten a Buffalo/Green Bay Super Bowl matchup instead of a Los Angeles/Cincinnati.  That's how small the margin of error is.

     

     

    And if SF catches that INT on the Rams winning drive, Jimmy Garopollo plays in the SB and the Bengals probably win. Living in Cincinnati, I watched the Bengals run closely. To your point, they got so many bounces. The Raiders had 1st and 10 in the red zone at the end of the divisional round and didn't score. The deflection on their game winning INT in Tennessee shot straight up. Something happened at half time in the AFCCG between Mahomes, Hill and the coaches. There is a reason that Hill is not on the Chiefs, and I think it stems from that.

     

    As to the OP. This is my #1 pet peeve in sports fandom. WE AS FANS HAVE ZERO IMPACT ON THE OUTCOMES OF GAMES. The hot topic of the week has been "we can't overlook the Dolphins." I'll overlook them all I want. I'll say it right here: The Dolphins suck. Tua Sucks. Hill without Mahomes will regress and the Fins with that rookie head coach will be lucky to win six games. I'll also say that the Bills won't lose a game this year and will win the next 10 Super Bowls. Are any of those statements true? Probably not, but my saying them have zero impact on the performance of the Buffalo Bills. The players have to take all opponents seriously or you get Jacksonville. McD, Frazier and Dorsey have to game plan week to week, because "any given Sunday." But fans?

    I guess I can accept "losing" the draft, if we win a Lombardi 🤷‍♂️

    The draft has to be seen in combination with free agency. We filled so many holes in FA, that only CB remained and that is only a hole because we don't know if Tre White will be ready. This roster is so stacked that the draft was a luxury . And we still filled two needs in it with quality guys from the SEC. Its all good in my opinion. Remember, we added Von Miller.

    Colleges are WR factories now though.  It's not like this class is going to be an anomaly when it comes to WR talent, this is the new normal.  I agree that there are lots of exciting receivers, but no reason to reach or overpay if you believe every year is gonna have prospects like this. 

    Given the state of NFL drafting and contracts, a bunch of dudes who would have been RBs in the past are playing WR now.
