Higgins wasn't a top 10 pick. He was pick #33. Day 2, pick 1. Davis is the best receiver Beane has selected. He is also the earliest receiver Beane has selected. Never picked one on day 1 or 2. Otherwise.... I actually agree with a lot of what you have said in this thread. People are looking for the perfect #2 and Davis isn't it, but he is a decent #2 level receiver who in terms of touchdown production out produces a lot of his peers. The idea that is simple, or straightforward, to upgrade him is for the birds. It would certainly be expensive to use FA to do so. All that being said, given Diggs is coming up towards 30 I'd definitely be open to letting Davis walk and spending a 1st round pick on a receiver who will be cheap while Diggs's hit is still on the books and then hopefully can grow into the #1 role by year 3. I still believe had Jordan Addison made it to the Bills last year they'd have taken him, even over and above Kincaid. Everything I heard suggested they loved that kid. And therein lies the issue - when you are picking in the mid to late 20s (or even early 30s 🙏) - you need a guy who is capable of growing into a #1 level receiver to be there. Even in last year's class which wasn't the strongest WR draft ever the 4 guys who most felt could be first round types - Addison, JSN, Flowers and Johnston - all came off the board together in a run in the early 20s.

The second half of the season the Bills didn't play their best football. But they didn't play any football against Cincy in the playoff. And even if people want to compare it to the regular season game where the defense struggled on the drive and a half we saw, the offense went right down the field on them and just couldn't punch it in. In the playoff game the Bills put in their very worst performance. It sucks but that is what happened. They were just flat.

They made that Superbowl a bit by luck to be honest. Mahomes sucked in the second half of the AFCCG. Yes Cincy did some good things on defense but Mahomes played poorly. Just as well for our 4 in a row record or else KC would already have equalled it. The Bills didn't show up in that playoff game. Nobody should take anything at all from that game other than the Bills completely laid an egg.

Yep. Their offensive line has been woeful for years. In 2021 I think they had the wordt offensive line I have ever seen make a Superbowl. And in the end it was that line that cost them the game.

Fair to see if they latch onto the Chase drama. But I think the media is already kinda killing Burrow. The only caveat is everyone is saying if he is not healthy he should sit and because there is still this cloud over his health status it is hard to know how much that has played a part.

The Bills are not cutting Jonathan IMO. I think they really like his upside and have a pretty stong belief he wouldn't make it through waivers. I think this is the Bills' belief too. It happened last year with the Bears and he has some actual live snaps in games since then.

I think there definitely isn't a culture of the bright white smile in the same way there is in the US. In my personal case the bottom ones were smashed to bits by too many elbows in the face in my soccer career.

You don't wanna see em.

I need to see nudes first.

I don't know where you have heard that from. It isn't true. Yep. Salt and malt vinegar. But not on "fries" as in thin cut. On thick cut chips.

I agree in the sense that I think giving the Bills a "home" game when they are so significantly disadvantaged by the aclimatisation is a bit ridiculous. The Jags should have played the Bills first and then had their "home" game the 2nd week. But stadiums are the issue. Wembley is Jacksonville's nominated home ground and was available last weekend but not next (because we are about to enter an international break) and Spurs window is this next two weeks when Spurs are away followed by a blank weekend for internationals. That may cause people to rant about the concept of the international games in the first place but they have been incredibly successful for the NFL and they are not going anywhere. This is the first time the Bills have had to give up a home game since the series started, so they haven't been too harshly treated.

Passer rating is imperfect. It is still better than QBR.

And on offensive holding I think it is a conscious decision. Think they have been asked / told to back off on calling it.

With mayo? In London? Dunno where you were eating.

Then the cut is Poona Ford.

Adoree Jackson is mainly a nickel. He isn't a very good boundary guy.

I think they believe Jonathan would be snatched up. That is why they didn't dare cut him. I think they really like his potential. I think what they will likely just go with what they have, it won't mean any fewer guys up on game day. If they need to bring someone up agree Ingram makes sense but I think they'd only elevate him for a game if they need him.

They had two runs blown up in the backfield which has been a real rareity this year. That cost him a combined 4 yards. He had a 1 yard touchdown run that brought the average down too. His other 9 rushes were for 32 yards. 3.6 per pop. Perfectly respectable day. The Bills just went more committee at running back yesterday. All 3 backs had 30 yards.

I know but the jetlag is real. Take it from someone who lives this side of the pond and has done that journey plenty.

I thought they came Tuesday (they have in previous years) but turns out not. They only travelled Thursday and arrived Friday. Josh Allen.

The Jags have already been here a week. That's what you think. I'm expecting a call up for Sunday. Taking my cleats to the stadium just in case.

Letting Waddle go would be a mistake IMO. I think Wilkins is the one you let walk if it comes to it.

Okay they won by more than two scores in Denver..... but otherwise this prediction held up pretty well

It's hard to do that from the box. I put that more on Joe Brady.
