I must say that I initially did not like this pick. I had watched some YouTube film on him and didn't see him as being able to separate, which to me is that top skill a receiver needs. Josh is not the best at ball placement, so separation is even more important. I have watched every combine over the last 10 years. Cooper Kupp was by far the best gauntlet runner I've ever seen and he worked out pretty well. I went back and looked at Coleman's two gauntlet runs and they were very impressive. I then watched a bit more film and saw more separation then was displayed in the original film I watched. I also saw him run receiver screens very efficiently, something that the Bill currently lack. Bottom line is he's young dude with all the measurements and more skills that translate to football going his way than a 40 time. Time will tell, but I think Bean and company have earned the benefit of the doubt. If you look at the starters on this current rooster, all but 5 are draft picks and they have the second highest win rate in the NFL over the last 2 years. You can be pissed, but they are getting results.

Obviously the didn't want Worthy - speed does not necessarily equal good production (Santana Moss is the ONLY first round sub 4.e receiver in the history of the NFL to have a 1,000 yard season- Remember John Ross). Obviously they didn't want Leggette. There is no doubt that before the second trade they knew who the pick was going to be, or they wouldn't have made the trade. After the big 3 wrs there are plenty of guys with similar talent (McConkey, Polk come to mind). DeJean is sitting there, round 1 talent without a doubt! Jer'Zhan Newton would also be an outstanding pick. Adonai Mitchell (who was the pick in the majority of mocks is still there). The Bills are in the poll position with 31 teams calling to get #33. DON'T be surprised if there is another trade back, if so, it would likely be less than 5 positions. Also remember, that the Bills increase there cap space by 10 million in a month, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was a deal in place for one of SF veteran recievers. Bottom line is there is a long way to go to complete this rooster. Don't panic. There is a plan. Bean deserves the benefit of a the doubt.

Not really sure what this is all about. To me he sounded defeated. I still don't understand his contract extension - he was under contract and there was no reason to redo it to the extent that they did. My guess is that he either 1) turned into a cancer, or 2) his talent dropped off so much that they moved him to avoid longer term consequences. The timing of this is the strange part. It could have been done sooner to get a shot at a Keenan Allen or Mike Williams. Something really strange happened very quickly. Odd

Never apologize for a win. This is a week to week league. Was it inspiring- no. Was it good football- no. But its a win. Remember, the undefeated Eagles lost to the Jets. The PJ (whatever his name is) led Browns beat the 49ers. Take the win and move on. Are there issues, yes. But it's a win.

This is Josh Allen. He will NEVER change. This is year 6. He is still running recklessly, making throws down field that are merely expressions of hope, and not trusting his oline. The more I see the more I am coming to the understanding that the oline is not as bad as we think, but that Josh runs around before he needs to making it impossible for the linemen to keep their blocks. People don't change. Athletes do not change after 6 years in the pros. For better or worse he is ours. Still a top tier qb and better than anything we have had since Jim Kelly. A new OC will not help. You can't control this guy, we just have to live with it.

Would love to have him back, but you cannot pay them all. If we learned anything it's that more resources (draft picks and free agents) need to be allocated to offense, particularly the O-line and receivers. If someone is willing to pay a non-pass rushing linebacker more that 14 mil a year, let them!

Tua ruled out vs Buffalo, Skylar Thompson expected to start
davspo replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
Clearly good for the Bills. Either way I thought they would win. This makes it highly likely. Feel bad for Tua. Good guy. It's the right decision- take the off season and get healthy. Re-evaluate your career. I am hopeful that he can resume it. -
Playoff Solutions Assuming they don’t replay the Bengals game.
davspo replied to Locomark's topic in The Stadium Wall
This team is in no place to play football until they find out what is going to happen to their brother. If he is OK they will play hard. If not, who knows. I say leave it to the players and let the players speak through the captains. If they have no news or are burying there brother for forfeit Sunday, let them grieve with the rest of the community and come back to football the following week if they so choose. There is no fair in this. There is only class and character. I think the right thing to do is to forfeit the game. It really is meaningless to these guys. Cincy was the epitome of class last night. The coach, organization, fans and community. Not putting them in a worse position would show sportsmanship back. -
I have a feeling you will have a different view if Case plays this week.

If he can go, let him go. I think shelfing him to avoid risk is not the right way to go. The AFC is highly competitive and if we are indeed all in, we need to take risk. I have zero confidence in our back up qb. If Josh sits 2 weeks, we are likely going to lose 2 games. Then we are in a dog race for a wild card and some road playoff games. We have waited long enough. Time to take the risks - every super bowl team needs to accept risk to get the reward. Same with Tre' - if we are truly all in, then we need to be all in!

James Cook is going to be a major problem
davspo replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall
McD was right to sit him after the fumble. He is young and a point needed to be made. He will learn from it. He'll be back and involved, not a big deal. -
Could Aaron Donald potentially miss Week 1 due to suspension?

I don't care. Let them bring their best and put them against our best. -
Terrible news. Keep your head up DK- Prayers.
