  1. Beane made a good point on WGR this morning... Guys rotate in all the time, so these rookies are going to see playing time if they make the roster. Especially the swing tackle. He's almost certainly going to see some action, especially in a 17 game regular season. DE's are constantly rotating. CBs always get dinged up a bit. Even if they don't start, they will play and contribute meaningful snaps to the team this year.
  2. I hear you, but I think every fanbase has that. Imagine being one of the 25 Falcons fans out there. 28-3. Plus they've melted down similarly a couple times since then, but that's the big one. Or a Packers fan... 2 HOF QBs who didn't win a lot in the playoffs and eventually forced their way out Or a Saints fan... talk about constant playoff heartbreak the past bunch of years. the Minnesota miracle. The non-PI. The other non-PI.
  3. Am I just getting older, or does Wilson look like he's 12 years old? That guy is going to take hits from NFL DL?
  4. The Browns are going to be a problem, but I think having OBJ back actually hurts them. The more Mayfield tries to make big throws the more they have issues. When they run the ball and Baker does his Alex Smith impression, going 17/20 for like 200 yards and no INT, they are tough to beat. But with the big name WR they try to air it out more and it costs them. It will be interesting to see how they approach the season.
  5. It was acknowledged on those boards way back when by a moderator, but no details were given. Donahoe was the guy confiscating fans' signs at the stadium near the end, so I think he enjoyed seeing what was being said. I know I would if I were a GM.
  6. Remember when the Bills website used to publish the "Ask Tom Donahoe" Q/A every so often? He used to read and sometimes post on the Bills official message boards as well, under another name of course.
  7. A guy on WGR quit his job because of the Josh Allen pick. Can't remember his name but I've heard of Josh Allen lately! Instant reactions can be fun but don't mean much. On the plus side for the kid who quit WGR, almost any job you could imagine pays more than working behind the scenes in radio.
  8. I was a little bummed about this, but Beane has always found huge guys late to fill that role. The fact that we took a handful of huge linemen made it easier to take, although I didn't love the talk of Rousseau "slimming down"
  9. Right now, I agree. but neither of those guys had the chance to play in games that really meant something. Hughes is still going strong, and therefore has the chance to make a huge play in a conference title game, for example, that would put him above those 2. We all love Fed Jackson and Kyle Williams, but Bills fans will remember the play where Hughes rips free of the blatant hold by the Seattle RT and hits Wilson to force the fumble that the Bills recover for a TD to end any chance of a Seattle comeback and seal the team's 1st Super Bowl win. That type of thing is still possible for Hughes, so his legacy is not complete.
  10. We saw Butler in an office supply store right before his rookie season. We went there to get printer ink and there was an enormous guy in line in front of us wearing an NFL Rookie Symposium t-shirt and I recognized that it was him. I didn't bother him or say anything but it was the first time I saw a Bills player out and about. To make this more related to the thread, I never thought he would be a guard.
  11. I think it's close, but right now I would say no. But his career is still going, and if the Bills get to the Super Bowl all it takes is the LT/RT not holding Hughes' jersey tight enough on one play and BAM! we've got a Carolina/Denver SB situation. I have almost no memory of that SB except for Von Miller strip sacking Newton and knocking the ball free for his teammate to recover for a defensive TD. Hughes makes a play like that in a SB the Bills win he's on the wall and it's a no-brainer. Funny thing is that DL seem to always show up in the Super Bowl. It's like they become a step or two faster. I could see Hughes having that type of game.
  12. This means that Edmunds is under contract through 2021 and 2022 then? Sounds like an Allen extension is coming in the relatively near future, but it's nice to also have Edmunds signed for the next 2 seasons as well.
  13. Shanahan's worst nightmare is having a commanding lead in the 4th quarter of the Super Bowl...
  14. I'm worried this means we won't get an embarrassingly enormous DT now...
  15. Bummer... Still, plenty of talent on the board
  16. Please let Paye fall to the Bills
  17. If there's a trade does the fan in the chair have to get up and move?
  18. Oh wow! I'm watching on NFLN and I haven't heard it
  19. Where did the chime sound go for each pick?
  20. So that was fun! Lol Rodgers plays for GB in 2021
  21. I've always wondered how Elway views his SB ring as a GM vs a QB
  22. If Rodgers retires they get nothing. Green Bay needs to act now while they can get a ton of assets.
  23. This would not be out unless Rodgers was truly done there.
  24. According to Trey Wingo Rodgers was told by the Packers that they would trade him, then they changed their minds. That makes more sense than "we're committed to him" after trading up for Love.
