Should be a tough game on the short week and with Josh hurting. Yesterday’s game was so important though to take some pressure off this week. This is a bit of a “house money” game imo. Go get the job done!!

He can have my left hand. I don’t really need it.

Nope, Coleman has a chance to be a number 2. Hollins is a scrub that started. Watching him get announced was embarrassing. His numbers will be far beyond his talent. It’s a matter of opportunity. That’s been my point. Shavers/Isabella/Hamler/Cain could all do what he does with the same opportunity. Coleman has some talent. He’s a high ceiling and low floor guy. He gets little to no separation. He’s good on crossers and has good ball skills. It looked almost exactly like I expected. Those guys, and the coaches, are so lucky to have Josh Allen. He covers so many flaws. He’s incredible. Rousseau appears to be taking a step and the OL is pretty good. This team isn’t particularly talented or well coached. They just happen to have one of the best couple players in the game at QB. I said somewhere between 9-8 and 11-6. I’ve seen nothing to make me think differently.

No he didn’t. I’m here. Collins started and has 1 catch. Coleman, Shakir and Samuel each have 1. Everybody eats!!!

Are we still excited about the receivers this year?

Up and ready!! We’ve told everyone that we will be there between 8:30-9. Lol, this happens every home opener. Inevitably, I’ll be ready to go by like 6:30 and she’s going to be like, “thought we were leaving at 8:15?” That’s one of the hardest stretches of the year. LFG!!

That’s embarrassing lol. I took a couple of years off too. There are some that are worse though….

You’ve posted 30,000 times on TBD

Sarcasm? Correct, didn’t know if I was missing something. They took Carter.

Help me understand how Bishop is a part of this equation?

I guess my philosophy is to kick the can as long as you need to while Josh is in his prime. This is your window. The Saints famously started this and it was for a similar reason, Brees in his prime. They probably should have won 2 Super Bowls in that window. While you have Josh, you need to be all in.

I preferred Worthy over Coleman (by a lot). Coleman was a couple of tiers below for me (around the 15th best WR). I’ve seen nothing from either to change my mind but it’s obviously incredibly early. I hope to be wrong.

Speed 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lol, I won’t be jumping off the couch, pumping my fist. I only care about the Bills. I want whatever is best for them (regardless of how painful it is).

We have to cheer for the Chiefs (🤮). They are winning that division. Baltimore will be in the WC mix with us if we don’t win the division.

Got you Weo!! The Broncos over is free money. Mortgage your house if you have to.

Lol, that is literally what you quoted… It was a post about WR contracts climbing…

This isn’t slowing either. Chase MAY reset the market.

Unless I’m really dumb, I don’t think that this is difficult to answer. You just keep redoing Josh’s contract whenever you need to. Just kick the can down the road for as long as you need to.

I think they eventually called them co-offensive coordinators. Ensminger was Coach O’s guy. He was an experienced vet. Brady was basically boy genius. Brady walked on water that year.

Kind of, but he ABSOLUTELY was the one running the offense. Ensminger was technically the OC in title but Brady ran the offense. It was like a Reid/Bieniemy situation with Ensminger as Bieniemy and Brady as Reid. Brady was an offensive coach under Sean Payton prior. If you could imagine, in Louisiana, that meant a lot. Sean Payton is one of the greatest offensive minds of all-time. Brady was like 26 at the time.

I’m an Ohio State fan. I’ve seen as much, or more of Curtis Samuel than anyone on the board. I like the player a lot. He’s a poor man’s Deebo. They have spent the last few years trying to find that role with McKenzie and Harty. Samuel is an upgrade on both of them. He’s a nice weapon and good with the ball in his hands. He’s not an X. He never has been. That doesn’t mean that he won’t help the team. He just isn’t that boundary guy. Shakir will outperform his fantasy projections. He’s now ranked between the 55th & 60th pick. I think that he will be closer to where Lockett was last year (79/894/5). I am pounding the over numbers on him early in the year. I’ll make money while he’s being undervalued. Even still, I do not see him ever as the number 1. I think that he could go on to have Lockett’s career and he will be a great fit if so. I am high on Kincaid. He has Pro Bowl upside. He could be 1,000 yard guy. He will be the top receiving threat. He’s a top 7 or so TE going into the season IMO. He has top 3 potential. Hopefully, he continues to draw mismatches. If teams view him as the top receiving threat, he will see his fair share of CBs. That’s a tough spot for any TE. I like Brady a lot. If you go back through this board, you’ll see that I wanted him running the offense in 2019 when he was like 28 years old. I lived in Louisiana at the time and watched him masterfully craft that LSU offense. We need to remember though that, while the scheme was brilliant, he had Burrow, Chase, Jefferson, CEH and Marshall. That’s 4 firsts and a 2nd. The talent was outstanding. He doesn’t have that now.

I agree that it wouldn’t have been easy. It was the lack of prioritizing it that rubs me the wrong way. You could have drafted a different safety, DT, etc.. Those positions aren’t as important. The Nukua and Shorter examples makes sense here. It didn’t matter if the Bills got a number 1 as a rookie or a bust that never played a snap. They had to take a swing. I agree that they will get a number 1 in the offseason. Higgins makes a lot of sense. That extra 2nd gives them some firepower should McMillan or Burden fall a little. They could also use that extra 2nd to trade for a guy that’s ready to get paid (Olave, Wilson, Pickens). There are some avenues to get a 1. I just can’t fathom how they let this offseason go by without more of an effort. They have Josh Allen in his prime.

You’re missing the point. The Bills didn’t need to find guys to be 5th on their depth chart. They needed to find a guy at the top. Let me say it differently, “they would have been better of drafting Justin Shorter in the 5th than signing MVS.” While Shorter was a long shot to be a number 1, he has better odds of it than MVS who has proven that he can’t play. If Shorter turns out to be Shorter, you sign MVS, Claypool, Hollins or whatever scrub you want that’s left over to be your 5th. You hope that you draft Puka Nacua and not Justin Shorter. When you are missing a number 1 WR, one of the 3 most important positions in football, you need to make way more of an effort to find one (even if that results in drafting a guy like Shorter and cutting him). You are no worse off because there are scrub vets all over the street and practice squads that you can add if that guy fails. Hope that clears it up.

Unequivocally, yes. Signing washed up, scrub vets, is a WAY worse idea than drafting guys that were available a round or 2 after where they should have been picked because of the depth of the position in the draft. McMillan/Baker/Walker/Cowing/Thrash >>>>>>> scrub vets
