Doc Brown

With Samuel, Coleman, Palmer, Shakir, and Shenault (mostly kick return specialist) on the roster we might not see a WR drafted until day 3. All are different WR's skill wise with the only thing lacking is a true burner that can take a top off the defense. Unless a true deep threat falls to us. I'm guessing Hamler, Virgil, Shavers, and a day 3 pick are on the practice squad and we roll with what we have.

To me his scouting report looks like if Gabe Davis and Keon Coleman had a baby.

So much for the Velveeta cheese mini rye bread pizza appetizer recipe I was about to share. Your guys loss.

One other thing that I think puts Kelly in the teens of all time greats is the innovation of the K-gun. The no huddle offense wasn't just for end of half/end of game situations anymore. They played more spread than any team in the league at the time too (I believe) with usually three WR's, McKeller/Metzelaars, and Thurman. It's a high risk proposition because you risk taking a quick three and out and risk wearing your defense out. The reward was it exploited defensive mismatches and forced the defense into more vanilla play calls. It's difficult to maintain that kind of tempo throughout a game especially when you're calling your own plays. Kelly did a good job of mixing up the run, screen passes, and regular passes to matriculate the ball down the field while wearing defenses out. I thought his accuracy is a little better than Allen's and his deep ball was too. I think Allen will pass him in the next couple of years but I'm not ready to say he's better yet.

I think he'd be more highly regarded if he didn't got to the USFL after college. Three years of NFL experience in a less banged up body would've definitely added to the resume and maybe he could've met that elite status earlier than '90.

The "frequent winning of golf tournaments" in the summary was pretty amusing because doctors will usually write anything memorable you say in the summary during a typical physical. Last year I was pissed off that the Bills Jets game got moved to the 4:25pm time slot because it meant I'll miss my daily 5:00 nap given I only get four to five hours sleep a night at best and I conveyed that to the doctor that week at my physical. He wrote, "Inadequate sleep especially on certain Sunday's during football season."

Reminds me of a slightly taller Hollywood Brown. Could help take the top off a defense.

Isaiah Bond. We haven't won the Super Bowl drafting choir boys so let's go in a completely different direction. Great start with signing two guys juicing in free agency.

With the 55th pick in the draft the Chargers select Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo With Poona Ford leaving we need to sure up the interior of our D Line. Alexander has shown on tape that he can destroy blocks to generate great inside pressure. His great size and length should translate well to the NFL. The pissed off Bills fans are on the clock.

I'm hoping the Browns and Giants don't draft a QB with their 1st round picks. Patriots don't get Hunter or Carter. Teams are more likely to trade their 2nd round pick to us and take a QB at 30.

It would be kind of crazy if they both won it the same year. A parade in both February and June of 2026 sounds like a lot of fun.

Nothing gets by you Doc.

Love the optimism as both a Bills and Sabres fan.

All true except the idea that Chinese workers will rise up against the CCP is laughable. You've got to go all the way back to Nixon but the Clinton Administration certainly exasperated the problems getting into bed economically with a Communist party. Also, when is our next election? When's China's? You see the problem with that I hope. You're way too cynical and accurate. We couldn't even get anywhere one entitlement reform as is a losing issue (see Paul Ryan) so don't expect Congress to ever actually work on reducing the deficit. Every American should just send the government a $1200 check if it means eliminating the tariffs. At least then small businesses won't be destroyed.

Overspending in free agency has a terrible track record. Extending good players you drafted on team friendly deal a year before they hit free agency has a much better track record. Benford, Shakir, and Rousseau could've been one of those overpaid free agents next year so extending them now giving them financial security entering next season is good business. I wasn't a huge fan of the Bernard re-signing but who am I to question McBeane. The main criticism of Beane is his inability to draft true game wrecker elite playoffs in the draft besides Allen. However, besides Metcalf, there just wasn't a realistic opportunity to get one of those guys this free agent cycle. Need to nail the draft.

NBC didn't even bother broadcasting the game in the WNY area because they knew everyone would be there.

If we get into a tariff war with China even under the most well thought out and targeted plan we'll still pry lose. I don't see his tariff policy so far as well thought out and strategic. China can inflict economic pain on their citizens with less repercussions than we can because it's a communist country. You're going to hear sob stories about how these China tariffs destroyed small businesses in the US within the next few weeks. Trump knows this and it's why he backed off the tariffs that would've made our technology gadgets we all enjoy more expensive. I'd love to see where the money saved from DOGE actually goes.

That's why a 10% tariff policy isn't even rational. It's just another tax on the consumer to subsidize the education/training jobs you referenced. All of which will decided by a government that is filled with corruption and/or incompetence.

Whatever. It's the right policy decision. Still don't get his beef with Canada though. It's never a good sign when I'm hearing Tasker say on a commercial get these cars before these idiotic tariffs kick in.

Heavy is he who wears the crown or something like that. He's the highest paid player in the league with an MVP and should be heavily scrutinized until he wins a Super Bowl.

I'm less confident now than I was before the last Chiefs game. I was confident we'd score a TD this last game because I've seen him lead a touchdown drive to give them the lead late in the 4th quarter at Arrowhead three out of three times already. Given he's failed the last two playoff games I'd say no to your hypothetical Super Bowl question.

He's 0-6 in overtime and 0-5 when he did possess the ball needing a TD to win (Eagles, Vikings, Bucs, Texans, Jets).

Beasley was a better route runner but Shakir has more YAC ability along with finding the soft spot in zones. I think he might be a tad overrated by fans given we have nobody else dependable right now at the WR position.

I wouldn't be too hard on Allen as I remember him pulling out some clutch game winning drives using his scrambling ability, elite arm strength, and improvisational skills. Something the Montana and Brady's of the world didn't have. The one's that stick out in my mind are the Lions Thanksgiving bullet to Diggs, the two at KC to take the lead in the regular season, at Baltimore in the rain after the Poyer interception of Lamar, and two Miami home games in 2022 (snow game) and 2024 (Bass 62 yarder). I also think I'm cherry picking games (overtime record) to make the case against him being clutch in game winning drive opportunities. Just to get to overtime in those five games took some late game heroics. Profootballreference has him at 21 game winning drives since his rookie season. I'd argue it should've been 23 if it wasn't for the Hail Murray and 13 seconds. I'm not going to pretend to know how many he failed to make but I've never really viewed him as a "choker" in close games in the 4th quarter.

I kind of remember that being a criticism of the people around Reagan starting around his second term. Completely different media landscape at the time though obviously. Another difference was Reagan was an excellent president.
