I’m still scarred by the Patrick Willis draft!

We gotta hope we can hit on a WR like DK Metcalf who fell down the board into the late 2nd round after being touted early on as a projected higher first round pick. We need the so called “experts” to wrongfully run down a few top tier WRs so they fall to us (in rd. 1 or if Beane decides BPA in rd. 1 isn’t a WR to jump up in rd. 2 which I concur with many others with much more knowledge than me, the drop off after the top five is pretty muddled but there will be some legit gems in there (that’s why many of us want two WRs in the first four rounds with S and DL fitting in with the BPA) but we just need something we have far too little of … luck. No Cody Fords this year, that would be a big blow at this juncture.

I hate Mahomes more than anyone else in sports 99.9% of it because of what he’s done to us but I obviously respect him (as I hold down the bile in my stomach). Though things are obviously far, far different (and very painful) for me now on so many levels than they were thirty years ago when I was a diehard Knicks’ fan, back then I hated Jordan with a passion, enraged me countless times (I mean the guy killed us at every turn, even dropped 55 on us first time back at MSG after his baseball career ended). But, he is my basketball GOAT. Hard to imagine Mahomes reaching that level but if he plays another ten years at or close to this level maybe in thirty years if I’m still alive and kicking things might change. But for now and the foreseeable future I hate the guy for what he’s still in the process of doing to us. Maybe he’ll decide to pursue a baseball career so we have a better chance!

Almost as good of a call as our fake punt to Damar.

Josh got dragged down a lot worse against Eagles and no horse collar.

My childhood sports hero and the reason a young boy from NJ became a Bills’ fan and has been ever since—in a few years it will be my mid-century anniversary as a Bills’ fan … true loyalty knows no bounds (for the team not the murderer—though I still have his rookie card).

I quickly learned to appreciate Cooks (when he got on the field) after having concerns about his skillset when they drafted him (like many, my concerns were about having an RB1 with his measurables and style of running as we really appeared to needed a legit three down RB1 ((which he isn’t … yet🤞)). Also, so I didn’t have to hold my breath every time Josh was off to the races (which I still love subjectively but fear objectively any time the entire future of our “franchise” tucks it in and runs as Hero Josh who runs like a four inch taller version of Mike Alstott). I sort of thought we drafted Cook to some degree in part because we lost out on signing JD McKissic with his strongest ability (catching)—not judging them as equals in overall talent, Cook is obviously light years ahead of McKissic. Fortunately, Cook has clearly proven to us all that he’s a special “electric back” who will continue to develop into a better player (catching and eventually I hope blocking) that will make more and more contributions so they can expand his repertoire. No matter what anyone might say about him I’d have to think that 99% of fans will concede he’s an outstanding asset we just need to use properly as his play evolves so he will continue to be a more frequent game changer. But, I concur with others who believe Cooks alone is not going to provide us with a stand-alone running game. We need a “thunder” to his “lightning”. I really grew to appreciate Murray’s play but when he came in for Cook it was a blatant tip of the hand that he was going to use his power to get us those 2-3 yards needed for a 1st or as a blocking back when we passed on third and short. I think he did great. Harris went down earlier than I was able to see enough of him to judge him but I really grew to appreciate Ty Johnson (which was one of the nice surprises of the year). He took advantage of his opportunities and delivered nice strong runs contrary to what my aforementioned lack of real football knowledge had me expecting of him before the season started.

I liked the Jim Schwartz 4-3 defenses but as others have very aptly noted we need the personnel to run the 4-3 (with some depth too so AJ Klein doesn’t come off his couch to chase after TEs).

Aside from separation, we’re still looking for a guy that Buddy Nix wanted back in 2013, “we want a guy who can go up and catch the ball, that he's open when he's covered." Puts drafting into perspective.

Offensive play calling in the second half wasn’t there. I’m going to vomit now and smoke my medicinal weed.

Josh Time

Kincaid?

Shakir is like one of the Phins old Smurfs.

If that was Mahomes we know there’d be a flag

I have been giving Diggs slack but no more.

Let Josh play Hero Ball for crying out loud.

The Illuminati don’t want us to ever win a SB.

These last few years have made feel worse than the early ‘90s did

This crew ain’t giving us that call

Seen this movie before, Josh goes into Hero Mode and then our defense folds (again).

Who needs Gabe next year!

No excuse coming out of a TO

Johnson has been a nice piece for the run game.

No flag .. unless it’s Mahomes

Wow another penalty against KC. Of course, Romo has to ask Steratore.
