Kelvin - 6'5 Jordan - 6'3 Zay - 6'2 Clay - 6'2 Compare that to years past Sammy (6'1), Woods (6'0), and Goodwin (5'9) running around out there (obviously Clay is out there last year too). Also, O'Leary is 6'3 and the other WRs are over 6 feet except for Deonte Thompson (who is 6'0).

Why they traded him: He showed up fat this camp, has a sore knee, and Panthers have other guys they are using/like. Why we picked him up: He has slimmed down, our guys know and like him and his work ethic, will risk the knee for 1M this year and 8M next, and we don't have other guys we like as much. In the end, we get a low risk option on guy that has a ton of talent, has played well in the league, and is big! The size of Tyrod's receiving options is amazing now. We are giants.

This trade legitimizes his "win now and in the future" stuff...I actually believe he wants to win now, now. Love this trade. Loved Kelvin out of college. Love it. Love it. Love it. PS: He did look fat as hell early in camp but I think he's slimmed donw.

I LOVE BRANDON BEANE!

Deleted the longer post, I'll just say crypto currency is definitely "real" and here to stay even knowing some big issues will come up eventually. Bitcoin is famous and liquid so it'll stay on top but it is an inferior product. It'll be wealth storage asset but that's it. Ethereum is really cool. Look into that. Some of the smaller "alt coins" that you can only get on an exchange are cool and will appreciate. How to do it easily if you want to: 1. Buy bitcoin or ethereum on coinbase.com with bank account (takes a few days or a week to process b/c you deal with a bank ... zzzzz). 2. Transfer from coinbase to bittrex.com (an exchange where you can buy many different coins but only with other coins). This is very quick q/c you don't have to deal with a bank! 3. Trade around! Have fun. Learn. Experiement. Trades are almost instant if you are at market price. 4. Transfer back to coinbase (very quick) and cash out to the bank from there (again, this process takes days b/c ... banks ... zzzz). Fun stuff. Learn what is going on. Don't put anything in you can't lose, and really don't put more than a few thousand in regardless if you are reading this post lol. PS: To learn, start by learning about Bitcoin and Ethereum and contrasting the two. I would only spend time learning about other coins after I knew the basics of those two.

Glen is a top 15 pick or not going anywhere in my book. Even if we got a 1 from a crap team I still would question it (although I would do it). He's good...why not just keep him?

40-0 is nuts...explosion is warranted. Still, at 4-3 it is weird to see those comments..."winning" team and coach visiciously attacking players. Bottom line, the Dolphins are terrible and luckily we don't have to play them until December...then we get 2 games and they'll likely be melted down by then. Good news if we can somehow keep it together (which is highly questionable).

None off these guys were any good. It is good he got rid of them all.

Tyrod is a solid game manager. He will never be more than that, and b/c he makes so few mistakes, never less.

So, Mr. Quarterback, can you please explain to me what you saw in the defense on this play? https://i.imgur.com/PlhTN4G.png https://i.imgur.com/PlhTN4G.png

The part most likely to change will be us

We don't look particularly impressive right now, Pats and Dolphins both look like tough teams for us.

Whaley left a better team than he inherited and IMO deserves credit for brining us from bad to average. He never got a QB and aparently didn't do great with the coaches but his era was better than any other GM we've had....it will take some time before I truly believe the new FO is any better. That said, I hope they are b/c we do need to take it to the next level.

Load up the big boys and run the crap out of the ball. Please.

That's a bit over the top, but even assuming it's somewhat close to true, why the hell would we trade him?

I hontestly think people are less interested: 1. "Political" garbage obviously doesn't help 2. Penalties suck 3. Commercials and other breaks are way out of hand 4. Lack of good QB play is hurting the game 5. I think "casual" fans are slowly getting over fantasy (at least in terms of it increasing game watching) Makes sense. You sit there and watch a bunch of commercials, penalties ruin about half of the drives most teams get going, there are commercial breaks constantly, and on top if it this kneeing thing is not popular.

NFL has great parity throughout the season. By the end it's the healthiest team with a good QB usually...

There's no reason we need to run an offense that doesn't work with our personnel this season. We should be running more option and more downhill stuff. Stretch plays to the outside for a loss of 2 have nothing to do with having a good offense in 2 years.

collegiate spread principles are obviously great .... there is no reason not run them unless you can bully the other team ... obviously ... in a competitive free agent landscape you can't count on always being the bully... ...oh and I guess if you have Tom Brady you don't need it...but again...not too reliable of a strategy (to just always have Tom Brady)

5 losing seasons for a ring? Maybe. 5 losing seasons for a 10 win playoff blowout? Probably now. The streak consumes Bills fans...but breaking the streak buys not time...not like a SB ring would. Nothing going on has any bearing on our situation, we aren't winning the SB and we aren't stopping the tear down.

1. What do we expect this year? Our floor is probably 6 wins, our ceiling probably 11. We're likely to end up between 7 and 9 wins and miss the playoffs. If we make it, we aren't going anywhere. 2. Offense? The reason we definitely aren't going anywhere is b/c our offense needs a complete and immediate rebuild. QB, WR, OL, all need serious help (and for this year now we have what looks like a serious Clay injury). Plus, medium-term, the only RB worth a damn is old. We're looking at 7ish positions that need replacement in the immediate future. If we were forecasting 2 years from now you would expect at least 2 of our top 3 WRs to be guys not on the roster, the starting QB to be a QB not on the roster, our starting RB to be a guy not on the roster, and 3 OLmen to be guys not on the roster. 3. Defense? Our defense is, once again, a pleasure to watch--but slightly overrated in my judgment. The DL is hot and cold, the LBs are weakish, and the secondary has no depth. We're good here for now, and it is a great look for coaches, but a few "back to earth" games are coming eventually. Plus, they're old...the oldest defense in the league (so I've heard...have not verified but we all know they're pretty old). Forecasting 2 years from now...you're looking at 2 new DTs, all new LBs, and depth sprinkled in throughout. 4. Realistic situational analysis: We're not going anywhere this year, and we're not going anywhere until we replace ~13 starters. Tyrod is gone, period. I actually kind of like Tyrod and think he's about average, but he won't work here if for no other reason than timing in terms of his skills, age, and our organizational development. Shady is too old to be apart of whatever our (best case scenario) near-future winning team will be...same is true of other old guys (including Incognito). Obviously, Dareus won't be apart of that either. So what should we do? Well, right now we're 3-2. If the playoffs started now we would be the #2 seed. Therefore, for now, of course we can't do anything other than hope and pray the offense somehow gets better and we get lucky enough to win 10 games. We owe ourselves a shot to see what happens. But, if we drop a few (just a few) and continue to look terrible on offense...we need to bench Tyrod quick and let the rookie take some snaps. If that doesn't look like some miracle answer for us this year (which of course it won't), we need to try to trade some our of our old guys for willing takers before the deadline this year (Tyrod, Shady, Kyle Williams, Dareus, Alexander, Incognito, etc.). It really doesn't even matter if we end up getting 6th/7th round picks for some of these guys. Hell, Dareus should probably be cut for nothing so we can eat whatever the fallout is as soon as possible. Long story short, we need our "tank" leash to be super, super short. No matter what, even if we can make the playoffs somehow this year, we need a total overhaul. We do not have the foundation we need in place to build right now...and messing around is ok so long as we may be able to eek out a streak break is fine...but other than that...whatever we started doing this offseason needs to continue. Keep tearing down. Keep starting young guys, switching up depth chart, and test random stuff. Get rid of guys that can't work medium-long term now...even if it nets only late round draft picks. Keep tearing it down...and don't be afraid to do so if we're 5-5. Unless we stay on track to be at the actual top...tear it down.

That's a hell of a way to put into perspective how long and hard the upcoming fall will be.

That hit was obviously dirty

btw Zay Jones is a bust...time to admit this guy is not likely to get good...he'll be lucky to end up a Goodwin-level player when its all said and done
