Low Positive

Yeah! Who the heck thought the Vikings would be good last year and the 49ers would be trash?

They could be worse. We got a number of lucky bounces and other bits of good fortune to win some close ones. Remember when Zuerlein missed a 32 and 43 yard FG and the BIlls beat the Jets 23-20? And then it took a 61-yard FG to beat the Fins two week later. Both of those games could have gone the other way. Most NFL games come down to a play or two. This past year we made those plays more often than not, at least until the AFCCG.

@DrDawkinstein said something positive about a Bills draftee. He had better be careful lest he be branded with that scarlet H.

That's the most Jim Kelly story ever. Threw a pick (which he did a lot) and then turned into the LB that he always wanted to be.

The BBFS is strong in this thread, as it is in any thread meant to be positive about any Bills player or coach.

You gotta look at everyting like Christmas presents. A new QB is like getting a new laptop. Defensive players are like getting clothes and OL is like getting underwear. WRs are like toys. People wanted a new toy, still in its original packaging, under their training camp tree. What they got instead is a toy from Goodwill with scratches.

2017 snow game against the Colts

I nominate this thread for the BBFS Thread Hall of Fame.

Bengals fans call the Browns the Stains.

Kincaid suffered a PCL injury in week 10 against the Colts and never had time to recover.

Or the leggings worn by a 55-yo MILF named Tammy with hoop earings smoking a Virgina Slim.

Both professional football teams in Ohio have a direct connection to Paul Brown and this determines both their uniform and name. The Browns are named after him so the connection is clear. But the rest goes back to Masselon High School, where Brown played HS football and had his second coaching job. Their uniform in the 40's was orange and brown with an orange helmet. Pretty much exactly the same as Cleveland's. Then when Brown founded the AFL franchise in Cincinnati, he had zero energy for uniforms or names. So, he just changed the brown to black and wrote Bengals on the helmet. And the Masselon football team's name is the Tigers, so he named his team in Cincinnati the Bengals.

Seems personal. Did he tell Harbaugh that his butt looks big in kakkis?

He had fewer targets than Darius Davis, Simi Fekho, and all-time draft bust Jalen Reagor. That seems personal.

Worthy's production as a rookie gets overblown on this board for obvious reasons. He had 98 targets for 638 yards with 7 drops. Keon Coleman, who everyone here assumes is a bust, had 57 targets for 556 yards with 4 drops. And that's with Coleman playing in 13 games while Worthy played in all 17.

I want to agree with this because it makes sense, but I'm having a hard time finding an example of a passcatcher making a big leap in production due to improved QB play. They seem to be who they are.

And they resigned Cody Ford for 3 million. It's what happens when a team has 4 scouts.

Stop pointing to the Eagles as an example to follow. If the owner has enough money, the NFL is essentially an uncapped league and the Eagles best asset, by far, is Jeffery Lurie. No other owner in the NFL is willing to spend that much cash upfront to kick cap hits down the road. The cap tricks they use are used by no other team in the league, at least at that volume, because no other owner is willing to spend like that. It makes Roseman's job easy. He gets all that value at the bottom of the first because he's not filling needs and can take a stud at a non-premium position. They're the only team that could have had a top paid QB and a pair of top paid WRs and still have the money to sign Barkley to the highest RB contract. All while having a defense that's loaded and the best OL in the league. And when they make mistakes, they use money to get out of it. Wiff on Jalen Reagor? Use Lurie cash to solve that problem with AJ Brown. People don't talk about it because they can't be fired, but owner is perhaps the most important in professional sports.

2016-2017. Here's a couple. It's what happens when you mix frat guys, beers, and golf carts.

This is a hard topic because there are so many. My desert island album is Paul's Boutique, but since this has been the most streamed song on my Spotify Wrapped for the past three years I'll go with this:

You say that now, but how will you feel if KC signs him?

He's not wrong in the way that WRs have been traditionally deployed, but Joe Brady likes to move pieces around so both Shakir and Moore will line up all over the place. As will Coleman. We just both said the same thing but you put it better because you know ball a lot better than I do.

When we had Diggs in his prime, this board talked about #2 WRs like they could cure cancer. It will be a constant topic here until we need a QB again. To put it shortly, people want a jersey to buy other than #17.

I know these don't matter anymore, but since people here seem to believe that college highlight reels of draft prospects are a guarantee of NFL success here goes nothing:
