Sorry - you were right about everything. I'm sure many others were also right about everything. Must feel awesome.

Thought it might be interesting, as we head into the playoffs, to discuss a few times in recent seasons that we were all wrong and Brandon Beane was right: - "Wrong Josh" - don't you wish you had Josh Rosen right now? - "Undersized LB" - letting Tremaine Edmunds walk and replacing him with a tiny LB in Terrel Bernard?? Disaster! - "Pay Shaq! Pay Phillips! Pay Poyer!" - Beane let all of them walk and all of them came back on cheaper contracts. - "Don't pay Ed!" - Remember your reaction when you saw the big Ed Oliver contract? - "Another RB who can't handle a full workload!" - Cook is way too small to ever be a true lead back. - "Pay Gabe Davis" - what a difference a year makes. Wish we locked Gabe up last year at $12M/yr. - "FIRE MCDERMOTT" - this would have been Beane's call, if it happened. I'm sure there are many more, but those are just from the top of my head. How about that Rasul Douglas trade? 2022 Draft Class: 1st - Elam - TBD 2nd - Cook - STUD 3rd - Bernard - STUD 5th - Shakir - STUD 6th - Benford - STUD 7th - Spector - Possibly good depth! 2023 Draft Class: 1st - Kincaid - STUD 2nd - Torrence - STUD 3rd - Dorian - TBD 5th - Shorter - TBD 7th - Broeker + Austin - our team was too deep to keep them Beane has been en fuego. Do you have any others?

I hope he coaches somewhere else and continues to show that he's nothing without Brady.

This post is so much funnier if you read it in a thick Italian accent 🤌🏼

Any Given Sunday. We’ve seen great teams lose to bad teams all the time. It doesn’t make the head coach awful. Basing any full conclusion on one game ridiculous. McDermott showed enough to get the Bills to the playoffs. He’s safe. We’ll see about next year.

Here's an idea... How about comparing Dalton Kincaid to other Rookie Tight Ends, as it's one of the slowest developing positions. Dalton Kincaid: 66 Receptions, 589 yards, 2 TD Travis Kelce (didn't play rookie season): 2nd year -- 67 receptions, 862 yards, 5 TD George Kittle Rookie: 43 receptions, 515 yards, 2 TD Mark Andrews Rookie: 34 Receptions, 552 yards, 3 TD TJ Hockenson Rookie: 32 Receptions, 367 yards, 2 TD David Njoku Rookie: 32 Receptions, 386 yards, 4TD Zach Ertz Rookie: 36 Receptions, 469 yards, 4TD Jason Witten Rookie: 35 Receptions, 347 yards, 1TD Antonio Gates Rookie: 24 Receptions, 389 yards, 2TD

Sarcasm, my man.... Sarcasm...

Probably has nothing to do with the story that came out 2 weeks ago that 'Reek has had 2 babies outside of his relationship this year. I'm sure his new fiancé has no problem with this at all.

The only reason I don't like this is we just invested a 1st round pick on one tight end and are spending $15M on another. You've got Shakir and can probably get a nice vet as a 4th option in the passing game. I'm good with spending another 1st round pick on a WR, but another 2nd round pick might be overkill. WR1 - Diggs WR2 - 1st round pick TE1 - Kincaid (1st round) TE2 - Knox ($15M/yr) WR3 - Shakir Do we really need to spend another 2nd round pick? Is that more important than o-line and defense at this point?

I've seen a few other Bernard threads pop up, so might as well bump the OG. Comparison time, just for fun: Terrel Bernard in 2023: 134 tackles 6.5 sacks 3 interceptions 3 fumble recoveries 9 QB hits 10.5 run stuffs Tremaine Edmunds in Buffalo: 121 tackles in his best season (113 avg per season) 6.5 sacks in 5 seasons! 5 interceptions in 5 seasons! 0 fumble recoveries in 5 seasons! 18 QB hits in 5 seasons! 10 run stuffs in his best season Unreal jump in production from Tremaine to Terrel and at a bargain... AND getting a 3rd round comp pick back. Well done, Brandon Beane. Well done, Terrel Bernard!

This isn't correct. The guaranteed money on the contract was incentive-based and he received it each week he was on the active roster. Thus, if he wasn't on the active roster every week (i.e. Injured Reserve or Practice Squad) He doesn't get the money. He restructured his deal to be able to be cut. It's only 1 game, but the statement that his contract was fully guaranteed week 1 is false. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-jets/dalvin-cook-21782/

You called this guy out for saying "physics has at least proven that the observer can influence the outcome of an experiment just by observing." His statement is correct. You falsely attributed it to the Schrodinger's Cat experiment. All of the rest of this "desire for one particular outcome" and "subatomic or macro level" talk is window dressing for your own narrative... which nobody cares to debate. The man's statement was correct and if his hypothesis is simply "wow, there are a lot of unknowns in the universe, so let's think positively" then you shouldn't be attempting to correct him in that regard, either. Now we're both done.

If you're going to go full nerd on a guy just for saying "physics has at least proven that the observer can influence the outcome of an experiment just by observing" then you should at least try to be right! The double-slit experiment did exactly this: https://plus.maths.org/content/physics-minute-double-slit-experiment-0 And before you try to nerd ME, nobody is asking whether this is applicable at a subatomic or macro level. His statement was simply that it exists and it does. The rest of the laws of physics are irrelevant. Now, lets both crawl back into our holes and let this fun thought-experiment thread continue.

So ... just curious. Why are you only using Regular Season games? 2022 Wild Card vs New England (Freezing Cold): 85% completion, 5 TD's, 0 INT's, 308 yards passing and they ran the game out. Literally called "The Perfect Game" because they had touchdown drives every time with the starting offense. 2022 Divisional vs Kansas City (Freezing Cold): 73% completion, 4 TD's, 0 INT's, 329 yards passing. Out-dueled Mahomes, but lost because defense let him down. 2023 AFC Wild Card vs Miami (In Buffalo, Freezing Cold): 59% Completion, 3 TD's, 2 INT's, 352 yards passing. Game winning drive Overall in the playoffs, Josh All has a 99.6 QBR with 2,334 Yards, 17 Touchdowns and 4 Interceptions. Myth busted. 🙄

It comes from insecurity. They know in their heart of hearts that this Tua + McDaniels thing isn't going to work out... so they're extremely sensitive any time someone questions that and they're overcompensating. It's been 50 years since they've won a Super Bowl and they've been dominated by the Patriots and now Josh for 20+ years. They're in a dark place, they just don't know it.

I appreciate the optimism, but that was the Bills Super Bowl as well. If they lost, they go home. Season is likely over. Can't let teams stick around like that. Love the win though and I'm thrilled, regardless.

Hopefully a learning moment for Brady. You can't consistently take the ball out of the hands of your best player and expect to win. They were not only running, they were running heavy formations, which took Kincaid off the field often. Even Knox. I bet when the snap counts come out, we'll see Kincaid played maybe 40% of the snaps, maximum. That's not good enough for your elite 1st round pick who has showed game changing ability.

Bass has made some clutch kicks. Then he lost it. Seemed to have the yips. Thank god he’s back.

Hey, remember when Tyler Huntley made the Pro Bowl at QB last year? The Pro Bowl is a joke.

Insane that I pay for Sunday Ticket and ESPN to watch these games and now I have to pay for Peacock too. I will never subscribe to "The '####" in the future purely out of spite.

The problem with Tall + Fast guys is they're often "high hipped" so it's harder for them to run precise routes. That's why so many of them fail. With long legs, it's hard to get twitchy action at the hips. If you remember the knock on DK Metcalf and reason for him dropping to late in the 2nd round, it was a concern that his limited route tree would make his routes predictable. A lot of people want to take a victory lap on predicting DK's success, but it was an incredibly rare accomplishment that he learned how to be more of a precise route runner after college. A player close to home who plays with "high hips" is Gabe Davis. He wins downfield and on simple patterns, but has trouble separating in short areas because it's hard for him to turn rapidly and run crisp routes. He's only 6'2'' but it's the major issue with a lot of these guys. The opposite of that spectrum is Stef Diggs. The difference becomes very clear when you look at Gabe winning routes vs Diggs winning routes. I prefer route winners over "Big and Fast" guys, but it's nice to have both. The unicorns are the ones who can somehow bend like a 5'10'' WR at 6'4''. In short, the best predictor of success is definitely not "who is the biggest and fastest."

Man, I really do hate it when he creates a 15 yard penalty and it gets us a first down. Especially in critical situations. It is just the worst. I care way more about everyone continuing to think he's cool.

The most recent two I can think of are: Dawand Jones: 6'8'' 375lb (rookie third rounder for Cleveland Showed a ton of promise, then went out with and injury and missing the season Mekhi Becton: 6'7 364lb (11th overall to the Jets a few years ago) Showed some promise, then couldn't stay on the field Big tree fall hard.

These type of prospects rarely work out... Yall remember Michael Jasper?

I personally don't love guys flying around with zero control. He has friendly fire'd his own team on multiple occasions and almost caused significant injury. If he can't control his own body well enough to not injury his own guys, you really trust him in coverage with the game on the line?
