    I personally prefer living in a area with “seasons” - I like all of them in their own way. I would not like living in a place with warm weather all the time. That’s just me. I would not mind Buffalo weather at all. 

    Well said! 

    I used to think that, but I love AZ weather. Even the summers are no big deal. Just spend the day at the pool or the golf course. It's easy weather to deal with.

    Same. I rewatch bills games all off-season. I cannot re watch that game. 

    I fast forward when the Chiefs have the ball, Josh Allen in the 4th qtr played perhaps the greatest playoff qtr ever. I can watch all day and just forget the ending.

    Damn!

    A first time for everything. Woo-pee!

     

    Note that this has only occurred now that the Pat's are an average team. I can't remember Brady going down there early.

    You have to go all the way back to 2019 for the last time the Patriots played in Miami in September.

     

    Since 2000, 4 games in Sept, 5 in October.

    Outstanding!

     

    Then WTF exactly did you mean by "A little bit of me agrees with this.  I'm sure he's fine, but I wish we didn't see him out so much."??

     

     

    go find some 5 year old to explain it to you, it's really not that complicated.

    "so much", is the guy allowed to have any life outside football?  I'm sure he's taking care of bizness and minding his offseason training

     

    One of Watkins problems with the Bills was said to be that he had a fanatical workout regime and wouldn't let his body heal and recover - to the point where he even took his walking boot off to train when he was told not to. 

     

    Contrast with Stevie Johnson who put his workout routine the Bills gave him in a drawer and didn't look at it, just played basketball.

     

    The desirable path is somewhere in the middle: train, work out, but take a measured approach and give yourself mental and physical breaks as well.

     

     

    I looked for that picture of Josh bottle feeding a dolphin and couldn't find it

    No,  he's not allowed to have a life outside of football. You obviously uncovered the actual meaning of my post. Good grief.

    Dammit, Josh! Quit preening around and gitcherass back training. We’ve got a Super Bowl to win and you have a BIG TARGET on your back.

    🤦‍♂️😉

    A little bit of me agrees with this.  I'm sure he's fine, but I wish we didn't see him out so much.

    If they want to be fooled into a contract by this clown, then the joke is on them.  
     

    There is no way he could have blown through all his money already, and therefore, is looking for more…is it?

    This is how football players make money, by playing football.

    Kurt knew Eli Manning was there to take his job and did a masterful job trying to help Eli. He did the same thing with Matt Leinart in Arizona. How he handled the Eli situation is what got him another chance in the first place. So he certainly backed it up when he was playing.  

    ah yes, the great Matt Leinart experiment.  And Eli probably had nobody around the house to help him learn to be a good QB. I like Warner, but come on.

    Sure Kurt, he's not trying to win your job from you. Easy to say when you don't have to back it up.

    Shouldn't the coaches be the ones teaching Malik how to be an NFL QB? I get so tired of the 'mentor' schtick.  It's possible to be a good teammate and not need to be a mentor. Tannehill has enough on his plate as the starting QB.

    It is evident that visions of Hardman and Hill streaking past our entire defense have stained the inside of McBs eyes. We lacked speed on D and they wanted to address that.  They did. Another thing that stood out to me this offseason was their pursuit of versatility.  The players they signed and drafted will allow us to play more multiple sets and switch up schemes of both sides of the ball.  I expect us to play more man this season on D.  Not a lot of man, but enough man to confuse the QB by giving different looks, more often.  


    Elam, along with his speed, give us some size that we needed on the boundary.  Having another potential top 20 corner opposite Tre will allow us to do some different things with our safeties and our coverages.  Be more aggressive overall because we won’t be afraid of Levi getting beat deep.  
     

    Cook-  gives us a playmaking chess piece that we were missing. More versatility, speed, route running, hands.  He’s a threat in the backfield (or in the slot, in motion, out wide) that opposing defenses will have to account for.  He can take it to the house. Some saw him as a 3rd value….which is basically where we drafted him.  He wasn’t going to be there in rd 3 for us, so we got him where we had to get him.  Seems like he may have been our guy from the get go.  
     

    bernard-  the worst pick ever…. Just kidding.  Liking this pick more and more.   He can be a milano clone imo.  Great in coverage and is a very effective blitzer.  At worst, we have a ST leader and a great backup for our injury plagued LB Milano.  Best case scenario, we move Milano to the middle and he takes his spot on the weak side.  He might be able to play next to 49 and 58 on run downs replacing Taron at times.  Great locker room and leadership guy.  I thought there were better options @ LB (Chenal and Smith), but those guys don’t excel in coverage the way that Bernard does.  
     

    Shakir-  best value pick of the draft for us imo. I had him as a late 2nd-mid 3rd WR.  I feel that his lack of ideal physical traits pushed him down the board.  Very good RAC ability from my experience watching him.  Ideally a slot, but he can play outside as long as he can continue to add to his release package.   Not a burner, but has 4.42 speed.  Nuanced wr that knows leverage and gets separations.  Tough and another great locker room presence.  Great addition to the WR imo.  Love this pick.  
     

    Araiza-  punt god.  What’s not like about knowing that we won’t have to see Matt Haaaack play for the bills ever again.  Great value.


    Benford- Tenuta- Spector-  I won’t pretend to know anything about these guys other than what I’ve seen in the last few hours.  
     

    Pros-  

    -added 2 nice playmakers with speed and that add versatility. One @ WR and one @ RB.   I was hoping we would do exactly that.  
     

    -We added a potentially great cb2 with cb1 upside.  When Tre starts to slow down, Elam will be extended and take the reigns if he loves up to expectations.  

     

    -versatility and speed on D.  More man and more confusion for opposing QBs.  
     

    -versatility and speed on O.  We needed Rac and added 2 nice rac players.  
     

    Cons- 

    - I didn’t like the trade up for Elam because I thought the sweet spot in the draft to trade up was in rd 2.  I was hoping we would trade up and over the chiefs to draft Skyy Moore (or Pierce/Pickens).  Watching that run on WRs was painful for me.  Saw it coming and felt helpless as it occurred.  Was then hoping tolbert dropped to us.  As he slid, I was hoping to trade up for him.  We didn’t and Dallas snagged him. We then reached on Bernard (imo). Strange turn of events to say the least.  
     

    -we didn’t draft IOL….but drafted two off ball LBers.  Maybe we plan on moving the shorter armed (for his size) Tenuta to guard?  I think we’re fine @ tackle depth after the quessenberry addition.  Maybe one of Ford, mancz or Ike (if/when he’s healthy) can be dependable backups under Kromer.  
     

    -random thoughts:

     

    - I think that success of OL will determine our fate in 2022.   I feel that if they can stay healthy, the OL is good enough to win the SB.  We wont win because of our OL, we just need to not lose because of the OL.  If the IOL gets banged up, it could be a HUGE problem and could cost us our Lombardi.  Praying that Kromer can be the difference maker.  The talent that we added to the OL this offseason doesn’t move the needle imo.  It’s basically the same OL.  Saffold will he’ll the run blocking, while possibly hurting the pass O.  Can Kromer hide his deficiency’s in pass pro?  Sure hope so.  
     

    - the team has clearly taken on a growth mindset.  They are looking to evolve and become less and less predictable. That’s a necessity in todays nfl.  Confusion reigns supreme.  Opposing OCs and DCs will have more to game-plan for.  11 and 12 personnel on O.  James Cook is a different kind of back that will put the defenses on their heels.  Shakir, crowder, Howard and Duke may not be the superstar playmaker I was hoping for, but I think our playmakers are in a much better spot than last year.  And they came super cheap.  On D , now with the speed of the press man force Elam in the fold, we can play more and more man comfortably.  Possibly confusing the Qb.  
     

    We’re the Super Bowl favorites for a reason.  We have the best QB.  We have the best team.  Now it’s time for the coaches to join them on the top of the mountain.  Step it up McD.  It’s on you now. 

     

      

    We draft a punter that's never held for a kicker, a year after not signing Bojorquez, who also had an incredibly strong leg, but was a poor holder.  The team felt the holder was so critical that we kept an 'elite' holder even though he was a poor punter. It's an interesting pick and Araiza is no lock to make the team.

    The offense is good, but we needed a #2 WR in my opinion. 

     

    Gabe Davis has progressed tremendously and had a crazy postseason, but were relying on a guy jumping from the 5th option to the 2nd and producing at not only the same pace, but a better pace. 

     

    He’s a great player and there’s going to be people that read this as me saying he’s not good, but I think WR needed someone just a little more talented to fill in the #2 spot while Davis continued to progress and grow. 

     

    Hopefully I’m proven wrong 🤷‍♂️ 

    Like he did in the KC game?  More talented in what way? I'm serious, he's got great hands, good size and speed, gets open and makes the difficult catches.  He checks a lot of boxes for WR2

    Been saying this for a while, but the 1st round corner crowd conveniently ignores it. This staff seems to really like Dane Jackson. If you pair him with a vet or 2nd-3rd round rookie, we will be fine until Tre is 100%, which I believe will be sooner than most of us think
     

    The history is there. This group has done it before, as Marino has mentioned. Marino is also VERY high on Cam Taylor-Britt in the 3rd. Oh by the way…his comp?  James Bradberry. The very guy that the Panthers drafted in the 2nd round that year.

    Cam Taylor-Britt?  Josh Williams?  Martin Emerson?

    When do you think he will be 100% and when do most of us think he will be?
