Late 2004 against the Browns. Up until the last game of the season against the Steelers backups, that Buffalo squad in the second half was about as on fire as I remember any Bills team being. The Browns game was the best in the bunch with a 37-7 blowout where Buffalo had Cleveland held to negative yards until a few garbage yards at the end got them in the positive. We all know how that season ended, but at that point watching that game, I felt like Buffalo could not only break the drought, but make a deep playoff run.

I can see why Cleveland is doing this. I wish that Buffalo had done this more often during the drought era. As bleak as the QB room looks in Cleveland, it was much worse in some years here. Buffalo would rest their laurels on Tyler Thigpen or Jeff Tuel as competition for a shaky starter for years. When they finally did something similar to what Cleveland is doing in 2015 with EJ Manual, Tyrod Taylor and Matt Cassel, they ending up improving their situation from past year by discovering Tyrod who was the best that we had in awhile before Allen came around.

I like this as a low key signing. Moore showed flashes in his first year with the Jets and was productive a couple of years ago in Cleveland when Flacco was at QB. It would be interesting to see what he can do with an offense that doesn't have a dumpster fire situation at quarterback.

Yes.

A First round pick from last year who was doing okay until he got injured is already beyond hope, but a 4th rd pick who has yet to see an NFL field is the difference between the Super Bowl and another early exit?

A, I do not know enough about the players to criticize or praise them, but the positions filled and the types of players selected to fill them were logically sound. There are some valid arguments about how we could have selected WR, but I feel a lot better about Samuel, Coleman and Palmer that I did about our CB and Defensive line depth before today.

6th round........of the 2026 draft.

Taking what was thought to be a top 5 pick in round 5 is a good risk for Cleveland. This is unprecedented to have someone projected that high fall that far down so quickly. The closest parallel that I could think of was Maurice Clarett about 20 years ago and that was for a more concrete reason.

I always love learning every draft day how the difference between a Super Bowl run and fading into obscurity is solely dependent on which person that everyone already passed over three or more times is selected. Last year, it was because we didn't draft Tony Franklin in round 4.

It remains to be seen how these players work out, but i am glad to see positions of need being filled. Getting someone with high upside like Walker in the 4th is something that I am on board with.

That would be like asking my cat to teach me quantum physics.

Honesty with a late round pick, why not? You can develop him for a couple of years and trade him down the road.

Seven years later from the original post, and democrat politics have gotten worse. Typical online arguing with Dems in 2025. Normal poster: I prefer tart tasting apples to sweeter tasting ones Karen Dunning-Kruger: I don’t like tart apples, what are you an idiot? Normal poster: No, I just prefer the taste Karen Dunning-Kruger: But it says here that more people prefer oranges, what the hell is your problem? Normal Poster: I thought we were talking about apples Karen Dunning-Kruger: Don’t change the subject, oranges with thicker rinds are sweeter! Normal Poster: What does that have to do with this? Karen Dunning-Kruger: Are you a botanist? How dare you question scientific research! Normal Poster: I don’t see what this has to do with apples Karen Dunning-Kruger: Stop gaslighting me!

If Cleveland gets Sanders anyway and the extra picks, they got over huge on this trade.

I would rather see the NFL overhaul their officiating and stop running an obnoxious amount of gambling app ads. Regardless of how much tampering if any is actually going on in the games, those two things combined are a bad look and leave it wide open for people to question them. As far as expanding the playoffs, I haven't seen enough competitiveness from the 7th seeds in the playoffs to make me think that adding an 8th or 9th team would enhance the experience.
