  1. With the 7th pick in the TSW mock draft 1.0, the Detroit Lions select Devonta Smith, Wr, Alabama. 
     

    The Panthers @MAJBobby are on the clock. 
     

    The lions fill a major need in the Wr room, with Devonta Smith hopefully beating Tyrell Williams and Breshard Perriman for the #1 Wr position. Smith may not be as good as Chase, but we feel he is a better fit for us.

    Over their last six games (prior to tonight), the Ravens have averaged 262 rushing yards/game and 2.33 rushing TDs/game.

     

    Tonight, the Bills held them to 150 yards rushing and O TDs. Kudos to the defensive coaches and players!!!

     

    I think an under-rated aspect of McDermott and his staff's coaching is how they manipulate the active roster and game plans to the strengths of their players vs. the strengths/weaknesses of their opponents each week. For instance, Trent Murphy has been inactive for many games, but he was up this week. Why? Because his biggest strength as a DE is stopping the run. And Baltimore is a run-first team that has been lighting it up on the ground. That's just one example---but truly, there are no second- and third-stringers, or practice squaders here---there is just one team with many parts and each part has its strengths which will be utilized when appropriate. McDermott and Beane (from a front office perspective) have been masterful at how they have handled the bottom half of the roster all year.

     

    And this isn't to diss anyone, but I have to say that I was surprised earlier this year when so many fans were down on Taron. The kid has done nothing but ball out since he came to Buffalo. He grabbed that slot corner role his rookie year and in three years no one has even come close to challenging him for it. In just his fourth NFL game (as a 4th-round rookie), he had a strip-sack on Aaron Rodgers. And followed that up the next week with an INT. The kid has been a play maker from the start. And what, a bad game or two and people were ready to kick him to the curb? People get so down on players sometimes when we know so little (are they dealing with an injury, what was their responsibility in the scheme, how is the other team game planning against our D, how good is the guy he's guarding, etc., etc.). At points this year people were down on Micah and Tremaine (when they were playing through injury), etc. Taron tonight was a little reminder to maybe not be so rash/harsh with our judgements of players sometimes. 

     

    Ok, sorry, enough of that, this is a happy night where we are all ONE BUFFALO! THE BEST FANS IN THE NFL! HEADED TO THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME! With a team that it is a pleasure to root for. Talent with character and a family culture. Enjoy this Bills Mafia. This is the best kind of team that we could have ever hoped for! Humble and Hungry! CHEERS TO YOU ALL---WE DESERVE THIS!  🍻 :beer:

     

    GO BILLS!

    I think Trent Murphy was playing because Johnson was out with a knee injury. Good post overall though.

    there are some posts I am less likely to reply to if I can state my disagreement via a quick click.... just a thought.


    I went to like this and there was an “agree” button!!’ What the heck!

    I hadn’t thought of the bolded, and it is a valid point. I would say there also could be some positive value to that in that the disagreeing posts are more likely to have good thoughts instead of extra clutter on the thread.
