If John Hughes could still make movies from beyond the grave................................

My profile photo was two buffalo nickels and Roman numeral "LV" which was an attempt to create Super Bowl 55 Karma. It needed an update and your request gave me the idea for a new one.

Here's the video clip with Nance and Romo on the call. That was a stunningly fun game. Launch and Liftoff

i like this one. The roof, the flag, Josh looking like he's reaching the ball out through the screen while flying. Anthony Barr posterized three times by Josh in one game. https://imgur.com/TDTCHx9

There was that bad loss to the Jets last year in week 16. That was a head scratcher.

The Bills opened 2019 with two wins in NJ. The Jets and Giants won only two combined home games through October. That was a fun start.

Josh has performed better on the road than at home. This may be more weather related but certainly it's not supportive of a "crowd noise" problem.

Pro Football Reference and NFL.com have him for zero fumbles. What's the 1 of which you mention?

I like them both and was pleased with what Moss showed his rookie year. His pass blocking was superb, his catch rate was solid and he had zero fumbles. Both break tackles well and that's more important to me. I thought that the Bills allowed too much penetration on their outside runs hence my willingness to accept scheme and poor run blocking as bigger parts of the problem. Moss had turf toe and Mongo had a torn pectoral which hurt the run game in various ways. I think the running game will be better this year.

Be interesting to see what more he can do in the NFL. Flight of the Wild Geese--Joan Armatrading

I think this is a good call. It is a need, he'll keep an eye on the players he likes and when they are close to disappearing, he'll sense the need to move up. He did it with Knox and tried to do it to get Moss but was unsuccessful and got him anyway.

I think there will be a corner at 61 that they like, maybe Melifonwu or Joseph. Bigger guys that can make plays on the ball in coverage. I just have this picture of Levi Wallace in tight coverage on Gesecki or Landry vs. Browns in 2019 but he can't quite make the play. Get us a CB that can get to the ball. I see some that are down on Melifonwu without saying why but he is a huge CB with long arms and a great vertical.

Ok, I get it now. When I hear "......the best of all time" I cringe and feel the "now wait just a second! We'll just see about that!" feeling. That's "upstart" Duke beating UNLV in the 1991 Final Four. And, to add to that, I want to say that when said "best ever" flops or is proven to be not so, I am mostly pleased. But, watching Josh play QB, I see a Roy Hobbs quality about him, his background and the way he does football his way. The American version of a Greek Hero doing things I have never seen others do. I love this stuff and he is on our team. He is our guy, for once. Harriet Bird and Memo Paris stay away.

I feel the opposite. What Palmer has discussed has usually been a foreshadow of what's to come. Since he seems to be a popular, available guest for all the different NFL media platforms out there, I suspect we will see more of it. The ones to look for are those coming in the normal Super Bowl media week when Jordan is hyping Josh on the worldwide stage.😉

I think it was the result of "most pro ready" vs. "best tools but needs the most development" tags each had. The Bills have had little success developing any QB, maybe ever. Jim Kelly was already a star in the USFL. Joe Ferguson, maybe, as he had some nice years on those Chuck Knox teams. Given the Bills history of QB failures,when two prospects are presented to the Bills fan base that way, I would not fault anyone for picking the one comes more "developed" and not willing to trust the coaching/player to get it done.

Most mocks by Bills' fans and media that I have seen include either McNeil or Shelvin, usually in the 3rd round. So, without having my own to share I will share that observation.

I caught some of this on Twitter and Palmer specifically mentioned Josh's stiff arm and how he uses it. I have made comments on it over Josh's career. He has used it against many notable defenders in some impressive, posterizing moments. Barr, Ngakoue, Van Noy, Donald to name a few. I can't think of another NFL QB I have ever seen do this as consistently, if at all. Just hope he does it with his left hand to protect his right. My analogy is to say that Josh could stiff arm a T-Rex and push him to the turf. It's not like Palmer gushes this way over Darnold or Stidham or any of the other QBs he has worked with so I don't think it's anything more than a small portion of a hustle.

I read his report and would generally agree with most of his points but I thought he overly relied on ypc and team wins as some sort of definitive standards. Marshall Faulk and Thurman were huge assets to their elite passing offenses. Was Thurman's ypc much different than Kenneth Davis'? Imo, that sort of back is well worth the pick but H-o-F talents are not commonly had at #30 or anywhere else. Imo, Moss is closer to the all around receiving and pass blocking back they need than Singletary. Not having him for the playoff game vs. KC probably hurt more than we know given the pressure Josh faced. Maybe Harris fits this more than Etienne but I don't think he is that much better at it than Moss is and he would unlikely get enough snaps to show it.

Prime trade down candidates would be the NFC East teams, Atl or Det. Dallas and Detroit have end of 3rd comp picks which would make dealing some their others easier to do. I favor this because this draft is described as lacking on elite talent (less likely to fall to 30) but with good tier 2 depth. Trading down to get more top 100 picks and recover one in the 4th round makes sense to me and it might make sense to Brandon Beane when the Bills are on the clock. Package later round picks as needed to balance it out. True, BB has never made this kind of move before but he's never had the roster of a 15 and 4 team drafting at the bottom of the first round before.

Too many candidates splitting the votes? I read somewhere that according to Scouts, 18 or 19 of the top 100 are CBs and only 9 are Edge. That sort of tips the balance in terms of how the order of acquisition might best occur.

Read the Warren Sharpe piece on the Bills draft needs (nicely done) and he mentioned a website called Grinding the Mocks, which is a compilation of published mock drafts from many sources. The idea is that the "wisdom of the masses" might be of some predictive value. I had not heard of the site and the search I did here came up with nothing. Here's a link and here is a snip for the Bills using data complied from "media mocks" over the last 30 days. Grinding the Mocks

Considering what Josh has done vs. the Dolphins in his career, their fans should speak his name with hushed tones.

Last year QBDataMine put out a video compilation to justify their rating of Josh as having the worst accuracy. I started a thread on it because of the 20 or so throws, 7 to 9 of them were balls that were tipped or his arm was hit prior to release. I thought it was sloppy work and/or spoke of some sort of agenda. Some then brought up Cian Fahey as the source of it and labeled him "the worst." So, these "dropped interceptions" seem unsurprisingly consistent with his reputation.

Best to get CB2, whichever one that is.

His career road split is significantly better than at home. Some might say Josh is too amped up when playing at home and I would say it's more the result of playing more extra windy games in an open air stadium in a Great Lakes city but it shows the opposite of what's needed to support a view that Josh can't function during road crowd noise.
