You know where else people (or me at least) come to the same conclusion is just doing mock drafts. You operate like the GM, take into account the roster makeup, current FA acquisitions, length of contracts and after solving for that you see that at best the Bills were looking for a WR5/special teams guy with possible upside. I sure as hell wouldn't trade 3 day-2 picks for one of those like the Lions did. Just get someone in the 6th or 7th to compete.

I remain cautiously optimistic on Coleman. I hate the way his season ended, you never want to see a developing player end the season worse than he started, but that two game stretch of Tennessee and Seattle showed a glimpse of his potential. I don't expect him to hit his ceiling in year two, he has a lot he needs to work on and progression is not always linear, but hopefully he can get back on a positive trend line this year. Our roster as constructed can afford Bishop or Carter to bust IMO, but we can't afford Coleman to bust. And this is one thing I disagree with @GunnerBill on, I do think Coleman has the body type and skill set to play outside although it will never be as a separation specialist. I expect the Bills to keep trying him outside and if he fails to develop they will make him a big slot as a fall back option.

Is there an NFL team with a weaker WR group than the Bills?
JGMcD2 replied to Pete's topic in The Stadium Wall
They’re not going back to the 2021 version of the offense where Josh Allen threw the ball 646 times. It’ll probably land somewhere between the 480 attempts from last season and the 560 range of the two years before that. There are about 92 targets to replace with the departures of Mack Hollins, Amari Cooper, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Quintin Morris. Even if you bump that number up to 170 (gets you to the 160 ATT from Allen), Josh Palmer likely takes up half of that on his own. That leaves around 85 targets to spread among Shakir, Samuel, Coleman, and Kincaid - all of whom missed time last year and are in line for increased target share. And that’s before factoring in whoever ends up as TE3, plus Ty Johnson, James Cook, and the rest of the backfield. Those targets won’t sit around unused for long. -
Zero chance. The Madison Club (where the accident happened) is an extremely exclusive private club and there’s no way they would allow something like that on the course. I’ve been playing golf for more than 50 years and I’ve never seen a “4-seater” being used by golfers on an actual golf courses. It’s just not a thing.

Recession is upon us - disastrous economic data

All going to plan baby. -
Psssh. Who died and named YOU the arbiter of umbrage? I think at least a modicum of umbrage is due. It feels like you're leaving a little bit of umbrage on the table on this one. In fact, I'd go as far as to say I take umbrage with your lack of umbrage.

Of course if the Bills have locked up their seed [like 2024] and the week 18 game is at The Ralph, we could be sitting starters for the last game.

There will be 3 large bison statues in front of the new stadium. Original design showed they were huge. Later renditions have them much smaller Most fans agree we want them bigger

Defensive line after Camp, then after suspended players return?
BigAl2526 replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall
He won't make the 53 man squad, but I wouldn't rule out the PS again. I don't know that we've heard anything about what the Bills might think of him. -
Having visited family at the Villages, GC accidents & fatalities/injuries are not uncommon.

I consider Worthy to have proven he isn't a bust at least. His floor has been set, his ceiling is still in question. Coleman as much as I liked him as a prospect very well could turn out to be a bust. I'm in wait and see mode on him. There's no comparison between Rice and any of the other WRs we're talking about. Unless the injury alters his career, or he proves to be too stupid to last in the NFL (which is certainly possible), he looks like a true #1 and a cornerstone of the Chiefs moving forward.

Who's on your Mt. Rushmore of NFL Defensive Tackles?
Big Turk replied to BillsPride12's topic in Off the Wall
Aaron Donald stands alone above everyone else. May very well have been the best football player of all time. -
Ran a 4.55 40 at the combine, so, not especially.

Even the cart paths can be treacherous when wet. True story: Severe downhill par-3, short but the path is almost straight. We play, leave, drive up to the next teebox and hear the telltale "screeeeeee-KRASH". It's blind from the box but from the fairway we could see the group had lost control and smashed into a tree, cart over on it's side. There was a foursome so they had gathered round, I guess there must have been some injury involved since later an ambulance arrived. A week later we're playing again, same course. We're not getting pushed, we go to check out where they wrecked. The cooler was still there in the brush, with some unopened beverages. They were tasty.

I would see it like this: Pre-Suspensions Epenesa - Jones - Oliver - Rousseau - Early downs, high run probability, everyone fresh. Bosa - Sanders - Oliver - Rousseau - Obvious passing downs/gotta have it stops. Jackson is the 4th DE in, if Walker is ready to go and beats out Carter, he'll rotate in as the 4th DT, but I wouldn't expect to see a lot of him if everyone is healthy. Once the suspensions end, a lot will come down to the performance of Jones. If he has struggled at all, expect Ogunjobi to get a real shot at his playing time crack at his playing time. If that were to happen, jones could be bumped back to a reserve role where he plays primarily on short yardage run downs where they could load up on big men. I expect Jackson to become a reserve at this point with Hoecht's return, unless his play demands that he leap Epenesa. Something like: Hoecht - Jones - Ogunjobi - Rousseau and a 5th big man like Sanders/Walker could find their way in there. I will expect Hoecht to play a significant role in the defense lining up at basically every position and doing so often. I wouldn't be shocked to see him as the first guy in at most spots except for Bosa on passing downs. Even though Bosa has been a capable run defender, If their smart, they won't waste him on that when they have younger healthier players that can do it. So basically when everyone is healthy and back from suspension your group looks like Epenesa - Ogunjobi- Oliver - Rousseau - Early downs, high run probability Bosa - Hoecht/Sanders- Oliver/Hoecht - Rousseau - Obvious passing downs/gotta have it stops. I imagine it'll be hard for Jackson or Walker to get a ton of playing time unless we move on from Epenesa/Jones or someone gets hurt. I wouldn't be surprised to see two of Walker, Jones, Ogunjobi inactive on gameday depending on performance because of the flexibility Hoecht gives. In case you haven't figured it out by now, i think the key to the whole defense is Hoecht. He gives us something we've only had very poor versions of over the years, and if he's just getting to his best ball now, it could be the piece that transforms the way our defense works.

without getting to into the specifics, we have friends that live around a popular course. this course does allow members to use their own carts, and many buy houses just to live near the course. one night, two wives wanted to pick something up from a friends out on another part of the course. they were hammered, it was dark, and drove right into one of the deeper ponds. apparently one of the wives had a very difficult time getting out, and her stuff sank with the cart. they honestly could have killed themselves, and now...no more non-course carts are allowed. members were pissed and they were banned for a summer.

Before his injury, Keon Coleman was on pace to produce numbers similar to Xavier Worthy over a full 17-game season. If you're counting Worthy as a hit and applying nuance to Rashee Rice’s situation, then by the same logic, Keon should count as a third genuinely productive receiver for the Bills. More importantly, the Bills are consistently finding useful wide receivers without having to throw premium resources at the position as often as the Chiefs. They’ve shown they don’t need a 1,600-yard receiver (Diggs) to average 30 points per game. That was the entire point behind Brandon Beane’s frustration earlier this week - they proved they could generate elite offensive output without a top-heavy WR room, and yet people are still acting like the sky is falling.

Was out yesterday for the first time this year, course was still pretty wet, and they got all new MUCH FASTER carts over the winter. We had a couple dicey moments with my wife saying SLOW DOWN
