"Hmm, yes. Quite shallow and pedantic." 😀

Intern Timmy vs. Paulie Porkchops in the battle of the sideline tablet wranglers. Paulie is the incumbent but this Timmy kid really has a chance to take the jorb.

I tried the ignore function once but there were times I'd be completely lost in the thread because I'd see responses to comments that I wasn't seeing. Just got confusing so after a while I was like meh I guess I'll navigate thru the junk.

Hey it's ol' Joey Buttholes.

I've always wanted to go down on the field. I think it'd be fun to tour the new stadium once it's open. I'd also like to be Golf Cart Larry at training camp. There's always a staffer just bummin' around on a golf cart at camp. I have deemed him to be Larry. I'm coming for your jorb, Larry!

This is why signing this dude was low risk. If he doesn't meet their expectations, there's the door and they didn't spend that much money. If he does meet expectations, then, awesome, on the roster you go and they still didn't spend that much money.

They come from da land of da ice and snow...

Twinkle Toes

Native WNYer along with family who were all Bills fans. When I was a kid, the fam would all pile into the grandparents house on Sundays to watch the game. My cousin's and I picked our favorite teams based on colors. One year I liked the Bengals but then they got beat by the 49ers in the Super Bowl and I got sad. The next year I thought silver and black was cool so I went with the Raiders. Happened to be the same year they got obliterated by Buffalo in the AFC Championship. I think by the second quarter I'd already ditched my Raiders gear and said, "Okay, I'm a Bills fan now." I was 7, I think? Sooo, that's 35 years of Bills fandom for this old crap sack.

Same. It can make who's on their draft radar a little easier. Just look for the smart, high character leader types with some versatility.

Mr. Broke Chump

I'm just being a goof, my bad. But for real, I dunno if it's because I'm old now or what but I seem to think golf could be something fun to do. Buncha my friends and some of my cousins golf and I gotta get outta the house more. If I get into and get some clubs maybe you guys can teach me a few things. Or, I dunno if you only golf with more experienced golfers and don't wanna waste time trying to help a n00b.

Golf requires goofy pants and a fat @$$. You should talk to my neighbor the accountant, huge @$$. In all seriousness I'm an old fart now and somehow I keep thinking, "huh, golf might be something fun to do." I used to work at this driving range/go kart track/batting cages in Irving and we'd "advertise that we're open" by riding the carts, using the cages and shmackin' golf balls on the range. I used to drive the golf ball picker upper cart. People get really excited when you drive by in that. "I'm gonna hit the cart!" Uh, anyway, I'll be there. I'll borrow my son's little plastic clubs, that'll get it done. Four! See that? 600 yards. Same amount Josh Allen's gonna throw for in week one.

Marquez Velveeta Scaffolding. Championship!

Sweeney Tom, the Demon Receiver of N. Michigan Ave

Not for nothin, but Samuel been in the league since 2017. He's the vet.

My sight is hind. My eyes is blind. The Bills are in a real receiver bind. But it's gonna be just fine. It is the end zone that Coleman will find. He will go over the line. All the time. With the ball, in the fall, the people will call.... WGR and whine worse than my two toddlers.

He shall catch 496 bawlz for 19,941 yards and probably no less than 300 touchdowns. In the first week.

These takes about Beane leaving Josh hanging in terms of the players around him are...something, I guess. Two straight drafts now they've spent their first pick in the guy Josh wanted. He wanted Kincaid last year, they jump up a couple spots and give him Kincaid. He wanted Coleman this year, they give him Coleman while being able to gain more draft capital in the process. Some of y'all are hung up on the speed thing. John Brown, Isaiah McKenzie, Deonte Harty, even tried to get a guy like Tavon Austin going again, now they have KJ Hamler to see if he can bounce back. Aside from Brown, the speedster guy hasn't really had much impact for this team. Some of y'all said they didn't give him a #1 WR. They went out and got Diggs for him. Oh, they don't have a decent enough run game to take pressure off him. They've drafted Singletary, Moss, Cook, and now Davis. Singletary was fine, Moss didn't quite work out, Cook really came on last season and if you can't get behind a guy like Ray Davis then I don't know what to tell you. It's clear that some of you are locked into your stance on this regime and no matter what they do, they're always gonna fall short of your ever changing expectations. I dunno, man, but for me, in the grand scheme of things this is still just a game. A highly entertaining game that can be a lot of fun and I know a lot of people are very passionate about their teams. Maybe I'm just an old fart but these days it's much easier for me to sit back with the wait and see approach and not get worked up about this draft pick or this trade or which guy KC got and blah blah blah. I'm guessing some of you didn't live through the drought years where there was real, actual incompetence running the show. That is not the case with this front office.

Were they part of SB Nation? Because I guess they shut down all their team-specific podcasts and blogs. I think, anyway. I mean, the lights are on but I ain't ever quite made it back home, ya know?

Yeah, I agree. I mean, is it nice to have a "true #1" WR? Sure, I guess. Is it a necessity? I don't really think so. Diggs has some great moments but when it came down to make or break in the playoffs he wasn't much of a factor save for the 2020 playoffs. They're gonna have different guys schemed to step up from week to week without worrying about "how do we make sure Diggs gets his 10 targets?" It'll all depend on their opponent and who they think can take advantage the best. They have a number of different players with different skill sets with a pretty creative OC. I really think it's gonna be alright.

All the negativity about Claypool is expected and probably warranted. But what if they feel like their culture can help him remove his head from his rump? Maybe he'll be motivated to catch rocket balls from Josh, who knows. And all aboard the Duane Train! Carter and Smoot shall revitalize the DL! I'm also aware that's not how either of them spell their first name but hey that's how my old spells it for himself so I went with what I knew. 😀

I could see this kid being a captain in the future. He's got a personality that people gravitate towards and he shows he can keep it fun and lighthearted while still being focused and all about the game. I let the negativity get at me when the pick was first announced. I got caught up in the "he can't separate" thing more than the 4.6 40. But then you see the game film and see that the skill and potential is there. Combine that with the character and the fact that he's gonna have a top QB throwing to him in a system that's gonna play to his strengths and it's not difficult to get pretty psyched up for this dude. I'm not usually one to make any kind of predictions, it's all "wait and see" at this point but I just get the vibe that he's gonna end up being one of the best WRs from this draft class.

Groot gets a lot of pressures and is pretty solid against the run. I know a lot of people wanna see him blow it up for 10 or 12 sacks a year but keep in mind he's in a defense that relies heavily on a rotation along the DL. So while he's a regular starter, he's averaged about 55% of the snaps thru his career. He's also much better off the left side but that's where they've lined up Von and Floyd. With Floyd gone and Von looking at a more reduced role at this stage of his career, that should open things up for Groot to line up on the left a lot more this season. I hope he balls out.

Last time the Bills had an RB named Davis he was backing up ol' Thurm. It's come full circle. Ray was the missing piece. They about to run four straight!
