  1. I agree with the bolded section. Of course it doesn’t really matter, but this is a message board. Stranger posts have come up. Especially these days. Not like Giuseppe was wrong. Besides, what else are we supposed to do in a thread that has reached 9 pages for only 4-5 moves made an hour or so ago? Nitpicking is what we Bills fans do best. That and hope for next year.
  2. Kind of a pet peeve of mine too. Even though either is acceptable, I prefer “with regard to” over “in regard to”. I think I was taught that way in an English class I took and it stuck. 🤷‍♂️
  3. I’d take this dude on a 1 year prove it deal. Why not? People forget how much talent this guy possesses. I think he’s a different back when motivated, and who would be motivated by the situation in Jacksonville? Is he McCaffrey or Zeke? No, but he’s better than Yeldon.
  4. There’s the Thad we’re all used to!
  5. Yeah, could be right. Beane likely knew something was up with Long if I had to guess. I was thinking maybe flipping them someone like Winters or Boehm. I’d say Ike, but I doubt anyone gives up anything for him. Feliciano is apparently out of his sling which likely indicates progress. A combination of whichever one of those two they don’t flip and Ryan Bates can hold the fort at backup guard until Mongo gets back. Plus we still have Ford and Daryl Williams, and it sounds like either of those guys are comfortable playing guard too. Fortunately, we’re fairly deep on the oline. Not saying a trade will happen, but we have options if we can find takers.
  6. Agree. Why not reach out to Philly and offer a guard for a pick? They just lost Dillard (and will likely move Peters back to LT). I think I read somewhere they were lacking depth there. For someone we’d like to keep, but can’t make it work, why not spin him for a pick?
  7. Just watched the 10-3 segment and not one mention of the Bills. But boy was Brady and the Bucs and Cam and the Cheats covered. Don’t know where I’d be without my daily 2 hours of coverage of those two teams. ?
  8. He’s definitely trending that way. Crazy part is, it’s usually only in his tweets. Every time I’ve heard him in an interview type format, he doesn’t come off as a douche.
  9. Thad just can’t help himself. Even while complimenting Josh, he can’t just leave it there. Has to take his customary swipe.
  10. I see this being part of the Bill Belichick and Ernie Adams “Cheating For Dummies” playbook this year. ?
  11. Great example and thank you for sharing! I completely agree. Losing is an infectious disease and the Bills were at it so long they absolutely needed a complete cleansing. Top to bottom, they’d accepted it. Sure, they’d try to shake things up and clean house over the years when they knew they had no choice, but it was always the wrong guy. The sad part for all of us having to live through it is with every change in head coach/GM it brought hope that they’d finally get it right, while consistently being let down and disappointed. I’ve been a Bills fan forever and I’d always hoped they’d luck into a guy like McD during the later Ralph years. A guy that could truly save the franchise and turn things around. Ralph wasn’t a bad guy, but he was complicit (or cheap as we like to call it ?). He got burned a few times over the years to the point he’d only feel comfortable with certain people. Combined with his penchant for being a little too hands on, that limited the pool. Took new owners a little longer than we all would’ve liked, but it seems we finally got the right guys in charge. Of course there is always more work to do, but I haven’t fully trusted a regime like this since Polian and Marv. That’s too damn long for us to wait for a little competence. Even when I’m frustrated on game day, I just try to enjoy the ride remembering where we used to be.
  12. I agree. I don’t think they knew either. I’m not as big of a Whaley hater as some others (not good as a GM, but a decent talent evaluator), but that whole regime didn’t exactly set the bar very high. Knowing what we now know about McD, and coming off Rex, I can see how his messaging and “the process” would’ve been very refreshing to the Pegulas. To your point, with his approach, it didn’t take long for him to build credibility in the building and oust the others.
  13. The Russ, Whaley, and Monos parts are so cringey now after knowing what happened. Especially Whaley and Monos. They didn’t look like they knew they were on the way out. Sucking up to McD pretty good there.
  14. Love it! While he’s got some improvements to make (who doesn’t), best coach we’ve had since Wade and it’s not close.
  15. I’d be shocked if a Belly coached team sucked so bad to get the #1 overall pick that it would take for Lawrence, but that defense of theirs has taken some serious body blows this offseason.
  16. Not a fan as the backup center spot is a little tenuous right now with Feliciano out. I won’t question Beane too much in this department as he deserves the benefit of the doubt. However, surely, Ike Boettger would’ve been a better candidate for release, right? I mean, is the guy ever going to actually play?
  17. Just watched the Josh Allen clip of his ranking. Probably already been said, but could they have picked a more nondescript collection of players to speak to Josh’s game? Nsekhe (biased) and Blake Cashman (Rookie)? Enlightening. Closest we got to anything interesting was the passing comment Myles Garrett made. ?‍♂️
  18. Aka - White fragility. Lord knows I’ve tried on here several times. Same old lazy takes about how racism doesn’t exist.
  19. Maybe it’s just me, but does this guy remind anyone else of a slightly shiftier TD Mike Gillislee? I don’t know what it is, but every time I watch Mostert, my mind goes to TD Mike.
