Glad this happened, he earned a spot back here last season.

While I don’t disagree with overall sentiment here, I actually think OT Anton Harrison is going to go earlier than some people expect. I personally think he’s going to go in the first round. He is one of the best pass protecting tackles in the draft, probably second to only Skoronski.

Yeah, I always just order a “cider”, never add “beer” to it whether I’m here or there. In a bar there is no confusion. But I couldn’t believe how much a difference ice made in a cider. And I’ve never had anyone in the US ever serve ice in a cider unless I ask for it. Total game changer.

We call it Cider too, but sometimes when I say just Cider people in the states think it’s literally just apple cider with no alcohol. So I added the beer after to avoid confusion to anyone else who might read it. I feel like Cider is more popular over there than it is here, so probably part of the confusion.

With the 47th pick in the 2023 NFL draft, the Washington Commanders select: TE, Sam LaPorta, Iowa CLICK HERE FOR HIGHLIGHTS The Commanders are excited to add what we feel is the most explosive TE in the draft with the ball in his hands. Adding him to our offense is going to bring a dynamic weapon that we feel our new OC Eric Bieniemy will be able incorporate into our offense and help him reach his potential at the next level. Round 1, pick 16: Traded to Seahawks for pick 20 and 83. Round 1, pick 20: CB, Joey Porter, Jr. Round 2, pick 47: TE, Sam LaPorta Round 3, pick 83 (from Sea): TBD Round 3, pick 97: TBD @manncand the Detroit Lions are now on the clock.

Curious: Do they put ice in cider beers there by default when you order them? My ex was originally from Germany, and we would go over there to visit her fam once a year and also hit some other places like Amsterdam and stuff too on these trips. My first trip there, it was hot out and ordered a cider beer and they served it with ice and wow, it was an absolute game changer. Living at the beach in LA, a nice cider beer with Ice on hot days here is pretty amazing. I won’t drink it without ice now, can’t explain why, but it absolutely enhances it and should be served that way everywhere IMHO. But no one here in the states does it unless you ask.

Totally get where you are coming from if you started in the Juaron era. For me, I was a die hard fan since 1988, so by the time the Fitz era got here I was over the sub par teams. I was even more over the cheapness of how this organization was run with no real GM, committing to sub par starters like Fitz (day he got his extension was a terrible day in my book), poor drafting, no quality free agents, etc. We also just used the 9th overall pick on Spiller when we had both Lynch and Freddy. Then they would just underuse the run game, like why waste the 9th pick on a RB if we are going to force feed a weak pass attack which I found frustrating. But from your perspective, I can see how much more exciting that era was from the previous eras you entered under. For me, and many of us, it was a weekly reminder our team was no where near ending the drought or entering contention. And we were committing to players and coaching that was not going to suck enough to get premium picks and not be good enough to be a winner. And that is worse than sucking in my book because that is basically purgatory.

It wasn’t meant to be, I just pointed out how he has been overrated by fan lore. The some started countering with more fan lore of things like he somehow excelled vs Revis which is just factually false on every level. But pointing out he was overrated struck a chord just like it did when it was discussed a lot when he was here. Despite how it seems, I don’t have anything personal against Stevie, and have love for him as a person. But he wasn’t very good and that was not on any level a “fun” era of football. That was a time of wading through this board with post after post propping up mediocre to below average players as if they were good. Like the endless threads saying Fitz was a good starter when he wasn’t. I found nothing about that era particularly fun when we went 16-32 during those 3 1000 yard season. Gailey went out every week and forced the passing game with a weak combo of Fitz and Stevie and would go away from our very good rushing game by the second half too often. But off the field, big fan of Fitz and even Stevie. On the field, it was not a good or fun era of football.

I mean it’s version one. Virgil has a lot to manage, having everyone wanting to propose trade options at the Bills through an entire round that would require a poll to pass would take forever. And this draft is already taking too long. And not everyone likes Sanders enough to trade up for him, so you don’t even know if the vote would have passed anyway.

LOL, it’s fine if you have a different opinion on Stevie, but I’ll put my track record and rep against yours any day of the week and twice on Sundays Again another one claiming I pinned win losses on him. Literally not what I said at all, but I get why you focused on only that one thing because you can’t discuss his stats vs Revis because they aren’t good. When people can’t counter facts they divulge to attempting to mud sling. So I get it. But you failed.

I didn’t pin win/loss record on anyone. I gave you the facts of Stevie’s “legendary” dominance over Revis that includes no wins, a terrible catch rate, and poor statistics. Stevie had a 48% catch rate, and averaged 3.5 catches for 47 yards against Revis over his career. You think that equates to giving Revis “trouble”? Lol, come on. And why? Because he scored one TD on him in one game that meant nothing in a game we lost? I mean, Stevie dropping the game winning TD pass against Pittsburgh, a costly drop that cost us a win, negates this one TD that meant nothing against Revis. I mean it was a perfect pass right in his hands. So let’s quit pretending he somehow gave Revis fits when it’s factually false.

No disrespect...but did he really? For all this talk about him vs Revis, they only played each 5 times due to one of them not playing in the game. But here are Stevies averages in the games against the Jets when Revis played. Record: 0-5 Rec: 3.6 Targets: 7.4 Catch %: 48% Yards per game: 47 Touchdowns: 0.6 This whole lore about him getting the best of Revis literally came off one game where he had 75 yards and a TD where he got a TD on Revis in a game we lost. And some of the stats he got above were at the end of multiple score losses when Revis wasn't even in the game anymore. So no disrespect, but this notion he gave Revis trouble is more fan lore than fact.

Well he played with Philip Rivers after and then was out of the league. And no, it is not the same thing. Like Stevie literally would have 0 catches or 2 catches for 13 yards and then on the final drive in 3 score loss would get 3 catches for a TD. I posted ALL the time about it when it was happening. He was nowhere near a top WR, and he was only WR1 here by default and was an average #3 WR at best. He never reached 500 yards again after leaving Buffalo and was out of the league 2 seasons later for good. Go back and look at his game logs during those 3 seasons of barely reaching 1000 yards. More than half his stats came in the 4th quarter of bad losses when the game was out of reach after being a ghost the rest of the game before it got out of reach. Stevie is easily the most overrated player in Bills history and his 3 consecutive 1000 yard seasons are probably the least impressive 3 consecutive 1000 yard seasons in NFL history. Prime Stevie Johnson would be WR4 on this years Bills team, a team everyone says desperately needs to find a new #2 WR.

I personally think Anton is going to be better at run blocking with his athleticism than people think.

Knox leads our team in catch % (even better than Diggs), and he has 15 TD's in the last 2 years despite only seeing an average of 68 targets over the last 2 years. If we just gave him more a slight bump in targets he would be a top 5 TE in the NFL statistically as a perennial 800+ yard and 10 TD guy. Kelce for example has 2.5x times more targets than Knox does annually averaging about 100 targets more per season than Knox sees. Give Knox 120+ targets and he is well over 1000 yards and double digit TD's. Kelce had 165 targets this year. So, I don't understand how people knock our own guy Knox as if he isn't coming through when given chances. You can't catch what isn't thrown at you, and the reason he isn't getting targets is not because he isn't good enough to get them. It's because they have used him more as an extra blocker with our depleted offensive line. And it doesn't matter how often fans mention "running 2 TE sets", its never going to be a thing in a Josh Allen led offense. We run a high octane down field attack, and that isn't changing anytime soon with Allen. So these 2 TE sets people keep bringing up are never going to be a focal point of our offense. You want more TE production, then fix the OL so Knox can get more targets. A 2nd TE isn't going to get many targets in our offense. And draft a TE later, don't waste an early pick for a depth player behind a starter. We don't need to get his backup in the 1st or 2nd round, we need significant contributors with our early picks. Darnell Washington is the only TE that makes some sense because you are drafting him to be a 6th offensive lineman. But the Bills just don't run many 2 TE sets to begin with, I would rather see them invest in the OL and let Knox release more.

Why? We already have a very good TE we don't use.

Hahaha yeah, I had 2 people sending me trade offers in my DMs, but I was not budging with Anton there. Landing Bijan and then Anton plus having another pick at 53 (from trading Henry) still has me just loving this draft for the Titans right now.

Stevie is so overrated. His 1000 yards seasons are maybe the 3 weakest in NFL history. So much gets made of that and it was so over hyped. I mean he never even reached 1100 yards despite being on a pass happy team allergic to running the ball as the #1 WR. And in all 3 1000 yard seasons, a good percentage of his production came in garbage time late in games when the game was already decided. There is a reason he was out of the league 2 years after Buffalo despite going to play in good offenses. Stevie Johnson was really a decent #3 WR at best who got to be WR1 on a team devoid of options. And that team was not very good, so they got behind a lot giving him chances to pad underwhelming stats late in games when the game was out of reach. He would have like 0-2 catches all game, then suddenly get 2 or 3 catches on a end of game drive with a meaningless TD. Poof...his season end totals look relevant, but they were not.

I mean he clearly prioritized money even though its a 1 year prove it deal to try and get a multi-year deal next year. He won a SB already though in which he was a key player for that SB run and in the SB up until he got hurt. So he has his ring...don't blame him for taking the money over say taking much less to play for a contender. Plus he gets a big role there too. When you think about his knee issues, this might be his last big paycheck too, so getting as much as he can makes sense in case his knees don't cooperate with him.

With the 41st pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans select: OT, Anton Harrison, Oklahoma CLICK HERE FOR HIGHLIGHTS We are excited to add this beast of a player to our offensive line. We see Anton has having possibly the best footwork and highest upside along the OL in the entire draft. His athleticism is off the charts, and landing him here in the 2nd round feels like one of the biggest steals in the draft. We even considered trading up for him as we were surprised to see him still on the board. But our patience pays off here adding a monster to our OL to protect our QB and open up holes for Bijan for years to come. Starting our draft off with both Bijan and Anton is about as good as we could have hoped for and we are excited to pick again here shortly in the 2nd. Round 1, Pick 11: Drafted RB, Bijan Robinson, Texas (Derrick Henry traded to Chicago for pick 53) Round 2, Pick 41: Drafted OT Anton Harrison, Oklahoma Round 2, Pick 53 (from Chicago): TBD Round 3, Pick 72: TBD @NewEraand the New York Jets are now on the clock.

LAMP 😂 J/K - Get some sleep, you earned it

This, it’s a no brainer to me.

I wasn’t against Kap though either, so that doesn’t apply to me. And I didn’t say I was OK with it, I said I was less concerned it was an ongoing character flaw and felt good about his remorse for the event and the testimonials from those that knew him since about his growth.

It was posted yesterday in the draft rumor thread too. It’s like he read it and decided to start his own thread about it to make it look like it was his original idea lol

Already made it
