Oweh is raw. Pairing him with a short term vet like Houston is the right move. He can back him up and learn from him while he earns his reps. The Ravens were very thin there as well so it’s not like they didn’t need another body anyway.

I’m sure the Bills inquired about both. Bills: We are interested in moving up. What do you want for 1 or 4? Browns: 1 isn’t for sale. We want (a lot) for 4. Bills: Okay. Let’s talk about 4……….

If I read that right she allegedly made $700,000. At $10k a pop that’s 70 calls. That’ll be peanuts compared to what she makes when she starts her OnlyFans site

Too many bands for me to list. Agree with pretty much every one listed so far and there are many, many more. So many movies too. I’ll add: Kraft Mac & Cheese. Damn near inedible now. Though a grilled cheese with white bread and Kraft American cheese still brings back fond memories.

All true. I still have very bad feelings about him stealing money here too. But he’s probably right about Judge. Also WTF is Gettlemen thinking with that OL? It might be the worst in the league. You can’t develop a QB behind that.

This tells me that it is on the Jest org. The agent is just holding firm to the precedent the league - and the Jets - set and followed in the past. The Jest org is trying to change it to the team’s advantage. No decent agent would let that happen. So the Jest are gonna lose this one. So stupid to do it at all, but especially with a QB you need in house. Jest gonna Jest I guess. They are in the top 3 or 4 worst run organizations in the league and arguably the worst.

I do like a nice, well-rounded Bass

If we are going to do more zone blocking then Moss is the better fit. That might be game plan dependent though.

I voted Bar Bill, but only the original Bar Bill. The new one is good but not special. It’s still a lot better than Duff’s though.

Dude, enjoy your fantasy world

There is zero evidence Allen has done anything behind the scenes. Nothing has leaked out. Beasley picked up right where he left off on Twitter so he hasn’t done anything there. And he obviously hasn’t done anything publicly. Yet you take this to the opposite extreme, completely baselessly speculating that Allen could be doing a lot of good behind the scenes (but if he was doing a lot, it would be leaking out) while also giving him a pass on not being effective (which really doesn’t make sense since effectiveness is a key component of good leadership). So you’re suggesting a possible situation that’s as glowingly optimistic as possible but is as far removed from the facts and logic as possible.

Dude. I don’t even know what to say to this.

What I said is that this could be something that divides the locker room, not that it already was. The point would be to head that off before it happens. Do you disagree?

As I already said, we can definitely see that Allen is either doing nothing or something that has been ineffective. That’s been borne out by what we see. Suggesting that the team’s QB should show some leadership when something threatens to divide the locker room should not be controversial. He can do so without taking a public stance or by calling any particular player out.

He’s not doing anything of substance behind the scenes - or if he has been, it obviously hasn’t been effective. He could go the route that Baker Mayfield did. Or he could simply make a statement to the effect that players need to put the team first by respecting each other’s opinions, following whichever set of rules they chose and keeping anything decisive in house.

As much as I disagree with everything Beasley has said on COVID vaccinations, nothing he said seemed racist to me. I saw this covered way up thread by another poster, but I’ll reiterate it here: This would be an excellent time for Josh Allen to show some leadership.

That “never makes a play” straw man comment is just wrong. Even those of us with concerns about Edmunds’ play talk about him making plays. The main criticism of him is that he’s inconsistent. That’s generally attributed to below average instincts, which was a concern well covered in his draft profiles. Great splash plays mixed with missed assignments. But it did occur to me that he might be playing as coached, as you mention. I just don’t think that’s the case though. He’s too prone to do things like leave his assignment and overpursue, leaving RBs free to run through his gap. I just can’t see coaches telling a player to take those chances. He gets lost in coverage a fair bit too. The caveat is that MLB is a very difficult position to play and few grade out all that well. But those players who do cost what Edmunds will. And since you can get a more consistent, but less spectacular MLB for a much smaller contract, you can expect to find similar overall production for a lot less. The Bills are definitely at the point where the cap dictates decisions between which players to pay. That’s what it boils down to: Is Edmunds worth the very large contract it will cost to keep him after 2022? If he can clean up the miscues while still making big plays, then he probably will be worth it. If we get more of what we’ve seen so far, then probably not. But some team will probably take the risk and give it to him. I don’t want that to be Buffalo unless he takes that next step.

Restaurant owner’s quote from the article: “I don’t understand what goes through people’s minds. … It’s a fricking tragedy when anyone dies senselessly.” Kinda says it all

Always important to consider where someone might be on the Dunning-Kruger Effect graph when considering their opinion

I’m more worried about CB/DB depth. No room for an injury to one of our top 3 CBs or top 2 safeties.

The Ertz not coming to Buffalo prediction seems pretty safe at this point if the reports of him working out at the Iggles facility are true. If they were afraid of his contract they would have traded or released him before letting him do that.

That’s a good plan IMO. I’m not saying it (a big step forward) won’t happen, but I think we have seen what we are going to get from Edmunds. I think some team will convince themselves that they can fix his inconsistencies and still get his splash plays and that team will pay him large. If that happens then we should let him go rather than sign him to a top ILB contract. Then we can use that money elsewhere.

Depends on whether I could place a bet on it or not.

I agree. I really thought he was going to calm down and do his job. It’s a shame.

Cruel, but fair
