Doc Brown

I'm as guilty as they are and anything's possible I guess. I didn't realize the level of toxicity within the building though as I never thought they'd eat $31m in dead cap space.

Anybody go to the first Bills game at War Memorial in 1960? I'm just curious if the wind was more or less confusing there.

That was the joke. Poor one I admit.

They pry have Schopp and the Bulldog on right after for listeners to go "oh, that wasn't so bad."

You moron. It is strange how Grant slipped to pick 42 in this mock. I thought it was taken for granted that he'd be taken in the second half of the first round.

We take Thomas. Vikings take Emmanwori. https://www.nfl.com/news/four-round-2025-nfl-mock-draft-three-qbs-taken-in-top-seven-picks-steelers-select-rb-in-first-round

I disagree with the coaching. Having by and away the best turnover differential in the NFL is a coaching stat. I remember the deflategate "scandal" with the Patriots where people jumped to the conclusion that they fumbled at an absurdly low rate. I thought. No. That's coaching. You don't win five straight division titles with double digit wins with okay coaching even if you have peak Aaron Rodgers as your QB. You don't have have a positive point differential of +786 since 2020 without good coaching. Baltimore was second with +555 just to add how insane that stat is. "They are doing it without guys that are top 5 at their positions" is coaching (and maybe an indictment on Beane). I get the frustration of fans and the playoff failures. I get the anxiety of wasting maybe one of the top five arm talents and dual threats QB's in NFL history's career. When your "floor" is a division winner that wins a Wild Card game the last five years you just can't help but think their ceiling is a Super Bowl champion. I think they get there as long as Josh stays healthy and Beane finds him some type of consistent weapon at WR1.

I thought it was 31st. It would be interesting if he included Diggs as a first rounder where we would land.

I think his offensive line took it too literally.

Should've never been that close. Reid completely out-coached McDermott/Babbich on offense. That offense hadn't looked that good all season. The Eagles shutting them down in the Super Bowl made it look even worse. Brady and Allen not having a variation on the tush push may have cost us the game and Spags had them ready for it. McDermott challenging on that Xavier Worthy "catch" despite Hamlin holding on that same play would've saved the team 10 yards on defense? Wasted challenge. I thought McDermott made the right calls on the two point conversion decision and the 4th down decisions. I'll give him credit for that. His decisions throughout the year impressed me when it comes to 4th down decisions. A lot of head coaches with a defense background are usually stuck in their ways and McDermott has shown the ability to adapt with an always changing game.

Beane needs that end of the 3rd round pick back.

Probably but his stock is at an all time high right now and it may plummet by this time next year. It also depends on how many free agents we sign next year.

Always interesting to see how the sausage is made.

If he drops to 30 Beane and Veach can do the funniest thing ever.

So, BPA at certain positions then. What positions would you not take BPA besides QB?

McDermott got outcoached by Reid. Again. The Ravens and Bills had more talent than the Chiefs.

What if Shedeur Sanders is their best player available on their board when they pick at #30? Still going by your BPA philosophy?

It would take a team with a really good offensive line without any talent at RB and be okay with dealing with his limitations as a pass blocker. Cooper played at a premium position so if it worked out it would completely justify giving up a 3rd. It didn't. If there's some team with a great offensive line looking for a running back on a one year rental than you'd pry be able to get a 4th or a 5th for him.

Keeps him fresher too. Beane signing free agents with PED suspensions and daring players to sit out might be the drastic thing he thinks is needed to win the Super Bowl. No more Mr. Nice guy.

I read that and came to the opposite conclusion in that he got more touches near the goal line compared to the the year before. I remember him running over that Chief and thinking if he didn't put muscle on during the off-season he wouldn't have scored that TD. Same thing in the playoff game on that 4th and goal. Not sure what the data is on that though.

I'm afraid McDermott is going to beg Beane to move up for him.

Freaked me out.

His floor so far in his career is 900 receiving yards his rookie year which is better than any other WR on our roster. Josh Allen is an upgrade over Russ and Geno. He'd immediately become the most explosive and big play WR Josh has every played with. He's definitely emotional on the field but a lot of his teammates and coaches have defended him. I'd sign up for another four years of Diggs like production even if he is a "diva." Golden opportunity missed by Beane imo.

Benford had an elite season last year. Taron Johnson was 2nd all team pro in 2023. Beane's always better at finding diamonds in the rough on day 3. Even Cook was the second last pick of the 2nd round.

Could've easily signed both. He only has $60m guaranteed and it would've been easy to get out of after two years. His cap hit this year would've only been $11m.
