    I’m actually happy Latu is gone. I have a feeling he doesn’t last long in the league 


    Yeah, on tape, he’s my favorite DL prospect in this draft. His medicals leave me wanting nothing to do with him. From what I’ve read his fusion survey gives a player - on average - 3-4 years playing time before it fails. Maybe he’s the exception, I wouldn’t take the chance though, let another team make that gamble.

    Rumor: Bills trying aggressively to move up for a WR in round one

    Yes, you know, I've heard this argument a number of times over the last few months. Turner and Verse will be gone for sure. Latu if he falls because of injury concerns, and Robinson. I'm not sure who else you would consider. I just don't like Robinson. I wouldn't take him at 28. If I didn't like a WR there (well, I'm pretty sure I would), but if I didn't I would rather try and trade back. Latu is the only fella I think you should consider if you are okay with the medicals. I think someone will take him before 28.

     

    And then, I think they need a big X and a Z, so I want two WRs early if I can find value there. So the depth at WR to me means maybe I can get two early.

     

    I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that I’d prefer, in order:

     

    1) Trade back, grab a WR 

    2) Trade up to 8-10, grab a WR

    3) Pick a non WR at 28 if the value dictates it.

    4) Draft a WR at 28.

     

    This is all generally speaking, of course, it depends on how the board falls.
    Only WR that can reasonably be gotten at 28 who I’d take there is BTJ. I don’t think he’s falling that far.

     

    I like Robinson there if he’s available. And while I love Latu’s game I just can’t get behind selecting him earlier than, say, the 3-4th. Everything I’ve read says that his fusion surgery has an average shelf life of 3-4 playing years. He's a ticking time bomb and has already used up most of those years. Maybe someone gets lucky but let another team take that gamble.

    It's literally the worst position group in the draft, so let's go there. You actually might get a difference maker WR at 28, though.

     

    Which is why if one of the top 4 or so guys at edge are there in the 1st the Bills should seriously consider taking one as one of the plethora of WRs will still be around in round 2. Taking advantage of the depth of the WR class means you don't HAVE to take one in the 1st.

    How should we address WR?

    Other. It obviously depends on how the board looks but, in general, given how bunched up the WR are after the “Big 3” I’d like to see the Bills trade back somewhere in the 35-40 range, picking up a 3rd in the process then draft a WR there. Then, use one of the 4th round picks to move up in the 2nd and grab a WR again. 
     

    The Bills could conceivably end up with something like McConkey and Lagette.

    Should Josh Allen be tougher on Diggs?

    Manning wouldn’t tolerate “bad behavior” by Harrison? Harrison, unlike Diggs, had several serious bahvavioral issues and I never heard Manning say a word about any of it.

    The story reported that in 2003, before an AFC wild-card game, Harrison grabbed a New York Jets ball boy by the throat after a ball the kid was fielding violated Harrison's "personal space" as he played catch with Manning. Later, at a medical station, the boy's neck showed marks from Harrison's choke job.

    And that's not all. The story reported that in 2005, three nights before the Pro Bowl, Harrison again grabbed the neck of an innocent teenager. This time, the kid had shown the audacity to keep pestering Harrison for an autograph. So what was the Pro Bowler's response? 

    He took a swing at the kid, "then grabbed him by the throat and put an arm around his neck." After some more physical play—hey, maybe Marvin thought he was on the football field, right?—Harrison and his friends ran off. 

     

    So don’t lecture us about Manning “holding Harrison accountable.” 🙄

    He's spot on. ALL of the coverage I've seen is "well, about Lamar...."    No credit for the Bills.

     

     

    They all keep saying, "Baltimore missed kicks, Lamar missed one throw, Lamar got hurt, so and so dropped a ball, Baltimore out gained the Bills" and yet I have yet to hear anybody come back and saying "Buffalo missed 2 kicks too, Gabe Davis dropped a TD pass, the wind favored a running team, many of those yards were when the Bills were up 14 points and went into a shell defense?"

     

    "Experts" keep talking about the yardage differential in both playoff games without ever mentioning the Bills had 14 point leads toward the beginning of the 4th quarter in both games. 

     

    It's just bazaar how they structure their narratives to make it sound like the Bills got lucky and they do it EVERY...SINGLE...WEEK. Their definition of "lucky" and mind are very, very different.

    My assumption is Mahomes will put up 30 against us and it will be on us to match.  We might do that but we have struggled to get the offense really flowing these first 2 playoff games.


    I'd rather play Cleveland.  The home field thing could present a benefit too, just in terms of the team feeling comfortable and being in familiar surroundings, being able to sleep in their own beds night before game, etc.

     

    There is no competitive advantage for home teams over the last 2 years in the NFL, despite people talking about the "home field advantage."

     

     

     

     


    You may have convinced me, I do think they have a good shot at beating KC though.

    Am I crazy to think the Bills match up better vs the Chiefs than the Browns?

     

    Cover 2 bend don’t break tends frustrate Mahommes and he gets impatien because he wants the big play.

     

     Browns use great ground game to have a decent pass game, Bills D is good at shutting down one thing but when teams can both pass and run they struggle. 
     

    I think the O puts up points on both teams.

    You know what amazes me is that all the talk is around Lamar Jackson and how electric of a runner he is , and not much talk AT ALL about Josh Allen who shuttered ALL Bills passing records and TD’s , 

    I thought I heard somewhere something about this being a passing league AND Baltimore is 32nd in the league in passing, 

     

     

    We've heard all week how the "Bills can't run the ball" and are "one dimensional" yet the Bills' rushing attack is better than the Ravens passing attack but nary a word is spoken about how one dimensional the Ravens are on offense. The Ravens are the most one dimensional team in the NFL.
