Thought same thing last night. Dude is a monster after the catch. He pulled through a gap between two safeties or possible a S & CB and the acceleration was like he was on a dirtbike. Lil biased cause hes from Charlotte and first 2 season at NC State. He was most dangerous freshman year. Was a real dual threat that year... need to dig into the tape to figure out why he took a step back (yet still super impressive) after that year. Could be transferring to A&M there were a lot more weapons to compete for touches. Couple excerpts from NFLDraft Buzz: "Shows remarkable football IQ by finding soft spots against zone coverage - consistently sits down in windows and presents a favorable target for his quarterback" "Elevates his play in big moments - repeatedly showed up in critical situations against Clemson and Virginia during his breakout freshman campaign." I also dig Chris Bell from Louisville... I will be honest though, these guys are currently rated late 1st- early 2nd. If we get super aggressive and go after a true #1... these are guys that I'd want to compete for #2. Not guys id solely rely on to fix that part of our game I don't believe he can. Thats what id thought id heard

Will the Bills Win another game on the Road this season?
BillsShredder83 replied to DeepPass's topic in The Stadium Wall
Best case scenario for medium and long term... imo. Thats not a shock take, I truly believe that right now. 1. We can NOT run it back another year of this staff. Josh is 30. Break out the Brinks truck and hire a staff to bring fresh look. 2. Genuinely worried about Josh suffering and injury from coverage sacks 3. We need the talent injection. Were old, hurt, expensive and under achieving. I hate it as much as all you, but this team has no magic. If we let the demolition just happen we can retool, fix much of that, and be primed for a wild card run in '27... serious window opens widely 2028. Be willing to go all in that year or earlier if logical. Were far away right now, but there are some quick fixes. G2 rebuild it right and make sure Josh gets one. Giving him "the Marino asterisk" would f**** piss me off to no ends. For him and us -
Should the league change how it schedules games?
BillsShredder83 replied to McMuffin's topic in The Stadium Wall
I understand the gripe about the WC, but its the least of all the issues for me. At least its a wild card game ill wanna watch. Especially on a Saturday when college is done, and I dont have to work the next day. $10? The more ridiculous part to me is missing having everything available in one spot. Nfl Sunday ticket should absolutely have access to every game. What an F-U to those fans paying $500 lol Anyways, I dont care if they change to putting different halfs on different platforms lol im still watching, and I ain't paying. -
Yeah im all aboard wr train. Id ignore some ugly off the field s*** to not have to watch this offense as is... but i still think paying him is a huge mistake for whoever does it. 2nd season and he was acting like AB did in his 2nd to last LOL there wasn't even a money issue yet. Wait till this dude gets paid and can afford to step on the gas with a certain white powder that breaks every elite athlete. If he doesn't have cocaine behavior, I've never met anyone that had it

Re think? I dont think the league will be fun again until we get to 100 teams. Full baseball schedule. 182 games. Baseball has that wussy best of 3 & 5 to start first 2 rounds though. Take the hockey format for those. Superbowl should last a month. Best of 15. 15 countries, 7 continents. None of us will be happy until weve all had family members Moonlight in NFL games. -
Brown, Dawkins, others out for Sunday

My hopes for the season have been smashed. No magic. I think the team knows their HC is a dead man walking too. Pitt is at home, needing the win to stay atop division. Rodgers was a weird version of an all in move for this season. They might spank us even if Dion & Spencer were playing... Tbh a victory to me at this point is Josh not taking an injury that effects next season at all. My morale is at the lowest point its been with this staff. -
Nope. Were talent depleted. Remember the 8 - 8 drought era Bills. Stuck in purgatory, never bottoming out. We've kinda been there at a higher level of that... 2nd rd purgatory. Each year picking 26th-30th.... not acquiring the needed talent to get over the hump, and now picking that late has added up to deplete us. This team is incredibly flawed. Were injury prone. Those players that miss the most games, cost us the most, and hurt us the most being on the bench. It's a non working formula. Josh is almost 30. We can sit in purgatory hoping for a perfect storm of conditions to allow us to win... or step back, tear down the crappy pieces.... get some younger/healthier/cheaper talent in to replace them.... do it once, do it right. Give Josh a real chance

100%. Also nice little jump start on the "re-tooling". We wouldn't pick any further out than #18 i believe. Sounds silly, but we absolutely need the talent infusion For reference Egbuka went 19th. McMillan went 8th if we were looking at an expensive trade up. That dude mightve put us in the Super Bowl this year. Yes I fully understand each drsft is different... just giving some context Nic Scourton went #51 overall, which is just passed the missed playoff barrier.... Will Johnson a bit higher at #47. Its such a different talent pool that we don't have access to!!

Im saying this rationally: the worst thing that can happen to us is making the playoffs and not "bottoming out" (as much as you can with Josh under center). Miss playoffs and guaranteed a top 18 overall pick at worst (17 maybe?). Doesn't matter what coaching problem is, they cant identify it and they arent going to. Scrap everyone but Kromer. Need a different voice anyways. Eat some bad contracts. Hope that the improved draft position and rookies contribute enough to off set the salary cap being blown out... new coaching/scheme too. We can still make playoffs in 2026, and who knows from there. 2027 the serious window is back open. This team does not have "it" , theres no magic. Our talent is depleted. Injuries (guys weve chose to pay) are too much. I think we have one chance for a serious legit re-tooling and a bonafide chance to win one with a still prime Josh. If we continue this path for 2 more years, it might be too late, as far as catching his prime. A half measure here is not acceptable.

Dude was talking about family questions which is an important context. If you ask him how married life is and what's different about starting a family.... thats a valid answer and yall are overflowing it. If somebody was asking about his expectations for the season, and he said "a super bowl isnt the be all end all".... sure I can sorta wrap my mind around people's gripes. Subtle but huge difference. Also, the teamd demeanor starts at the top. They've been in a too lax/soft atmosphere for what 8-9 years now... you are what your coach impresses on you, especially with a decade of a sample pool. Too soft and mcd lost the team. If he stays, buckle up because next year will be atrocious. Does anybody think that we cant see McD cant get us over the hump? And you think the players who see him everyday, some for 8+ years, and theyyyyy cant see it?! This team knows the staff is a dud and he's lost the team

El shareef/ al shareef specifically was on my radar as one of these types
