What's more shocking is that more of these guys don't get in trouble. I'm reading the list of first round rookie signings across the league. $30 mil guaranteed, $20 mil guaranteed. You are just handing someone who has never had money before a check for tens of millions of dollars. I don't know if I would have been responsible with that kind of loot as a 21 year old. I can only imagine the types of characters coming out of the woodwork with their hands out. It would be easy to make some bad choices and end up in some tough situations with people you shouldn't be hanging around with. The types of people we all hung out with at one point in our lives or another, and then as we matured we have likely distanced ourselves from those types of people that are going nowhere with their lives. Good luck to all of these guys and hopefully they have someone around them to help them make responsible decisions!

I prefer week 1 vs Jets as originally rumored. In CFB they used to schedule a 1-AA opponent first, built in preseason game. Need to get things clicking on offense with new OC. They didn't look ready week 1 last year

The Bills had 4 CB's with 1st round grades in this year's draft. But which rookie CB do YOU think will have the best career? Who you got?

He asked the Papa John's guy to do what now? Was the Aflac Duck too busy? If I needed someone "taken care of" I'd ask La Nova's over Papa John's

The one that can complete a pass

So your argument is that the punt wasn't blocked but it went 27 yards, because it was kinda blocked? When he catches the ball he is stepping up 3 yards before the ball even gets to him. Now watch an NFL punter. Some don't go 3 yards throughout the entire motion. Instead of making excuses for him we need to be realistic that he is a punting newbie with a strong leg and a lot to still work on

The Bills really like Dane Jackson and see him as starting material. So they see a roster with 4 starters at CB (White, Elam, Jackson, Taron Johnson) and they have Siran Neal on special teams. They only have like $5 mil in cap space and they said they like to keep a little space in case they need to add someone and if they are lucky they can carry that over to next year. I don't think they will try to add an expensive veteran at this time unless he takes a serious 1 year prove it discount just to play on a super bowl team and raise his value.

I've been reading up on this guy and in punting circles they see him as a super raw prospect. He is actually a soccer player turned kicker turned punter, so he has not been punting for very long at all and is still learning the position. He has been working with a coach in preparation for the draft. In addition to learning how to hold, he needs to work on his drop, not taking up to 10 yards to get a running start or he will get it blocked (which he has multiple times), his accuracy and bounce with the nose of the football, and his hang time which is almost non-existent (line drives). He's basically Happy Gilmore'ing it and knocking the crap out of the football with no regard where it's going and then sprinting down the field to help make the tackle to keep his net yard average high (which was highest in nation and higher than anyone in the NFL). It would be the equivalent of drafting a QB who can throw it 80+ yards but isn't very accurate and we've seen how those guys turn out 🤔😄

Tannehill is lucky to have made it this far and he should be grateful and willing to do whatever the team asks of him. He was a bust of a QB, got a 2nd chance with a team that was like we know you can't throw so we will just run the ball and maybe you can complete some play action off of that, and now being "just a guy" on a good team he was able to parlay that into a big contract. Now he has $100+ million and he and his kids' kids' kids' kids will never have to work a day in their lives. What's the difference if he loses his starting job this year or next year or 5 years from now? He's not very good but now he's very rich so who cares? If he was smart he would be the best mentor on the planet and maybe he can hang around as a backup for a while and keep raking in the $

Maybe the Bills had Elam over McDuffie (they would certainly want you to believe that now at this point) but they definitely had McDuffie as a 1st rounder too based on how he phrased it. Beane said after KC traded up to take McDuffie there was only 1 player left on their board with a 1st round grade (Elam). So from that you can also ascertain that they did not have Gordon or Booth or any other player picked after them graded as 1st round talent, including the Packers pick before them or the Cowboys pick after them who they jumped in the trade up

So they had a 1st round grade on Cine at S but passed him up for a OL they had listed as a 2nd rounder? Jeruhhhhh! The CB ranking is interesting. They had McDuffie super low (probably due to size) and Gordon higher than him and Elam (probably again due to size). Sounds like the Bills had McDuffie as a 1st rounder because they said as soon as he went they only had 1 guy left (Elam). So the Bills had Gordon as a 2nd rounder. Beane said after Elam they had some guys that were close together (Gordon, Booth, ?).

I'm not down with killing babies but if you try and outlaw abortions people will just go to other states, countries, use coat hangers, etc. It's not something you can affectively mandate. Do we really want sh*tty people who are poor and on drugs and can't even take care of themselves to be forced to carry a child and then care for them? It's a terrible situation either way. As a compromise how about everyone who gets an abortion, their name is made public and people can do with that what they will. A little shaming may go a long way. If you go for a job or meet a love interest etc they can look and see you have had multiple abortions and they might change their opinion of you. Even people that are for the right to choose aren't going to be cool with that kind of info

people who said better might be overestimating Von Miller's impact as a 33 year-old rotational pass rusher. if he's on the field he is probably getting double-teamed just like Hughes was. the pass rush will need to come from the middle or the other side. I voted PUSH and I would take the under on 10 sacks for Von Miller

Gilmore's reaction to getting drafted by the Bills

Bills have both Hamlin and Johnson that they like. Poyer is in a contract year so he better ball out if he wants the $, whether he gets it from Buffalo or another team

Are we sure he was pumping himself up with testosterone and not estrogen?

that's what i'm saying, why didn't anyone use a 7th on a potential 1st round talent? by not doing so they are letting him choose one of the better teams. i don't understand the "he's off our draft board" if he ends up signing with someone anyhow. there's no way X player drafted in the 7th is better than this guy

This one makes me sick. Nobody wanted to take a flyer on him in the 7th round? The NFL is really going to let the Chiefs keep loading up on talent? They got Skyy Moore and Justyn Ross for pennies on the dollar. Either one could end up being the steal of the draft

No I expect that many Breece Hall fans based on 100 pages about a player we didn't draft

He should embrace it. When was the last time it was cool to be a punter? By the time Mcafee got popular he retired and went into media. I wouldn't put PUNT GOD on the back of the jersey a la HE HATE ME but I would definitely have some fun with it. YouTube channel, merch (I saw some stuff on Etsy already), could parlay the fame into commercials etc. People are excited that we have the "Punt God" on our team

Based on this thread about half of the stadium will be cheering for Breece Hall when the Jets come to town. Over/under Hall with 100 yards total offense. Who is taking the over?

Surprised to see Punt God so low. That seemed like a fan favorite. Maybe it's just the cool nickname but if he can boot the ball like they say he can and can learn how to hold then we might have our punter for the next decade
