…and I’d bet that some of our “fans” will do just that, because they are upset and want things their way and they are sure their way is the right way.

We have a LOT of younger guys playing, and we are missing some of our best players on defense. Like judging a draft too soon, I’d like to see how this defense finishes the year before getting too excited.

I think it’s very likely that he restructures, again, to stay around.

More good football players is a good problem to have.

I’m spending less and less time on the NFL’s lawn these days. (I bet that is Roger’s wife.) If it’s ugly, I’m not afraid to say so.

It’s not even all whites. I’m OK with all whites, as long as the white is white and they don’t mess with the helmet. This is more the color of the abominable snowman in cartoons. They just want to sell more white gear. I’m not buying. . I’m getting over the NFL just fine, and it’s more than those ugly uniforms.

And it’s not really even a true white. They even messed that up!

Between that and those God awful uniforms in some college or USFL team’s colors, I’m glad I’ll be home for this one. Quit screwing with a great thing. EDIT: Because they are not as atrocious as the Steelers Bumblebee uniforms does NOT mean they are a good thing. .

Somehow, I don’t think Chiefs are feeling sorry for us every year in the playoffs. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, but what would you pay to see the carnage in Philly if they sent him to the Bills, where he beat them as the SB MVP. PRICELESS!!!

What?

I suppose if you want to miss the big point, you can. We have been stuck behind the perfect storm. A first ballot HOF HC/OC, a first ballot HOF QB, and a DC at the top of his game with HOF Chris Jones as a chess piece. My point was the timing for this Bills team was unfortunate. Some opportunities were certainly wasted. But I still feel good about what we have and hope things bounce our way this year.

So if you are up against Tiger Woods in his prime, do you just skip the tournament? Look, it’s been bad timing for the Bills while the KC dynasty was peaking, but we have a promising season ahead of us. Phil didn’t suck at golf, but he (and everyone else) had a hard time coming in ahead of Tiger. That’s the deal, so how do we best move forward? .

Just reading the tread title must be like hearing your named called over the PA at school asking you to visit the Principal’s office. Or 60 Minutes showing up at your office. Nothin’ good is ahead for you.

My wife. Other than that she’s pretty awesome, but it’s hard to get past the whole SB half time show thing. But I think the marriage can be saved with counseling.

He’s about 5 feet tall, with eyes that see right into your soul. He can be found at a portal near you.

Hey! That hair tells me you just might be pulling our leg. We're paying attention, you can’t slip that by on a bunch of sharp tacks like us! I hope he’s more like the Tin Man, and a couple well aimed squirts of oil can get him well lubricated on game days……like the rest of us.

If I’m a fringe guy, I don’t leave the complex until I’ve figured out how I can help on Special Teams. I like to think that Solomon has that quick twitch, bendy skillset we slack elsewhere. I’d like to see him develop to know what we’ve got. It would be awesome if he reached his perceived potential.

So, where is the outrageousness you claimed? What words did I put in your mouth? A) I never said “no better options were available”. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We don’t know who the better option was, and we won’t for several years. Could some guys help more next week? Probably. Who is best for us in the long term has yet to be determined. The Bills thought in the big picture Jackson was the right choice on draft day. They have long term planning to do as well as preparing for this season. They went with a premium position, which I don’t hate. B) Since we don’t yet know who the best long term option is, throwing out names with the hindsight of a quarter season really doesn’t mean much, at least not yet. Obviously, some players drafted behind him will go on to have much better careers. That is the probably case with 99% of draft picks. Only an idiot could lose at the game of “Could You Pick a Better Player” in the draft over the long run. Every team has hits and misses, not just the Bills. Some guys hit right away, some need time and some never make it. I’m willing to see how this turns out, and I’m not looking back with hindsight pretending I’m smarter than the Bills FO. .

This need for immediate gratification is not the best long term plan, but some people can’t help themselves. Some things take time. They may or may not pan out, but I can guarantee you that Beane knew who else was available when they drafted each and every pick.

Sometimes this place makes me pray for the comet.

This is what the good franchises do, they are able to plan and look down the road to potential scenarios and potential future needs in future years. You don’t draft to win the first four games out of the gate after the draft. I’m not saying he will be a stud, or even in the league in 2-3 years, but I know right now is not the time to try to decide.

I will say that if it’s obviously too early, it’s obviously too early.

I didn’t actually ask for names, but I see you went ahead and cherry picked anyway. That is meaningless at this point in their careers, IMO. Will there be a better player picked somewhere after Jackson? Of course. But I responded to ask what outrageous claims I put in someone else’s mouth. I find the 20/20 draft hindsight arguments to be weak and tiresome (especially after only 4 games), but what outrageous claims did I put in someone’s mouth?

I don’t play 20/20 draft hindsight games, especially 4 games into a young man’s career. There will almost always have been a better option if you want to look backwards, but that’s not how it works.
