Must've seen @Ethan in Cleveland's post.

September 2nd

You think they'd cut someone they just gave a 3 year $21m contract too even knowing a PED suspension was coming?

Rest of NFL -Chiefs get the #1 seed and Mahomes is MVP putting up 50TD's. -Jaguars win the AFC South. -Steelers go 6-11 and Tomlin gets an extension. -Cowboys get a Wild Card spot and Washington misses the playoffs. Bills -Dalton Kincaid puts up over 1,000 yards. -Keon Coleman is WR#4 by the end of the season. -Greg Rousseau puts up 14 or more sacks. -Mitch Trubisky starts two games this year at QB.

I'm just hoping they're comfortable enough to have him as the primary backup when either Benford or White go down. Benford and obviously White have had their fair share of injuries so I'm hoping Dane Jackson isn't the primary backup.

Reminds me of the Diggs mini camp fun with the social media crap and nobody really knowing what the heck was going on.

Nice. If true, Circling the Wagons has some major explaining to do.

CTW has never been wrong when they broke news before anyone else so it's pry an ACL tear. God I wish.

Thanks. I thought he wanted the NFL to abolish the salary cap.

What's the bust percentage of WR's drafted in the back half of the first round?

I have no idea what that means.

I just think draft capital is a better way of determining how much Beane invested at each specific position. You obviously disagree. I'd do that Diggs trade in a heartbeat again from where we were as a team with Josh still on his rookie contract because of every Justin Jefferson there's a Treylon Burks. Anyone who watched the Vikings knew they were leaving a lot of meat on the bone with Diggs. I'm not even debating that Beane's failed miserably since then when it comes to drafting rookie WR's. I know in his head he was thinking Diggs will be here at least through 2026, Davis can easily transition to the outside WR2 role, and McKenzie can effectively replace Beasley. He should've been looking to draft a WR2 and an eventual Diggs replacement in the 1st or 2nd round going all the way back to 2021. Doubling down at DE was stupid as Colliins and St. Brown for example were still on the board when the Basham abomination happened. He could've traded up to draft Addison or Flowers who were his likely pick before that WR run happened and he had to pivot to Kincaid. I was screaming to move up for Brian Thomas Jr. when he slipped that far. He's failed miserably and the price is we're overpaying for middling FA's who've never even put up above 900 yards in a season in Samuel and Palmer.

No. The Bills spent draft capital (a 1st and 4th round pick) to address the WR position. Whether or not you agree with the strategy is irrelevant.

Anytime he refers to something he's learned from David Gettleman my optimism about the future of this team lessens.

Thought so. I know this isn't what you're doing but I do find it a little disingenuous when people make the argument he's completely neglected WR they leave that trade out and just cite the number of picks at that position rather than the draft capital used to address that position. He gave up a 3rd for Kelvin Benjamin too which worked out swimmingly. My take is that Beane was more worried about WR's in Josh's development than he was once he became elite. Since then he's basically approached the entire roster construction like how Carolina built their team in 2015.

Does that include the 1st we gave up for Diggs?

Upon further reflection, I'm thinking the Eagles may have won the AJ Brown trade. Doubt the Bills are interested.

That kind of proves that last year was pry the anomaly? Kincaid replaced Davis as Josh's favorite throw the ball away target. Josh also misfired A LOT when targeting Kincaid. His major injury was caused by an overthrow. Their chemistry this year needs to drastically improve.

To be fair, I've never seen Elam play that bad prior to that game. Same goes for Milano and Hamlin.

Agreed but I'm not going to hold my breath that he's anywhere close to his pre injury self. Crazy how two years ago at this time we were wondering if Benford could handle the job opposite Tre White. The ACL and then the Achilles within two years is just brutal.

Aren't they both the same player at this point at 30 years old? I'm not sure if Douglas was willing to take a one year $3m deal with incentives like Tre did.

Winter because the only yard maintenance I have to do is call my brother to plow our driveway.

Watch any post wild card playoff games the last five years?

Iced out winter theme for an early October night game. Makes sense.

He was still competing against 29 other GM's even during the pre salary cap days so I don't even get that argument. He was successful everywhere he went and won executive of the year six times with at least one at each of the three franchises he was handed the keys to. He's more in the Ozzie Newsome tier of all time great GM's.
