From everything I read it seems like he’d rather have someone he knows on the roster at that position come seasons end and not have to scramble to find a body that can produce. I like Ed, think he has flashes of a very decent player, but he’s inconsistent for that amount of money… Let’s hope this doesn’t come back to hurt us financially.

Wasn’t there a large amount of traction in the “Dalvin Cook to Miami” conversation a month or so back? Was the Vikings past season pretty much a fluke to be the success it was?… negative point differential, winning virtually every single close/one score game… Maybe they feel the wheels are coming off this year? Can’t see it being that. Especially with the loss of Rodgers and questions surrounding the Pack. Chicago? Who knows what you’re getting there. Lots of roster improvement may lead to the success they’ve been waiting for. All contingent on Fields though… huge ? there. Which leaves Detroit. They’re pretty much on par with one another and going into the start of the season most would probably hang their hat on either of them winning the division. This, to me, feels just like getting rid of an RB on a non-friendly contract who is progressively showing the signs of aging.

Said to my buddy at work the other day when he got released that all the talk about Buffalo, KC and NO being landing spots… Cleveland is the most probable IMO. He loved playing with Watson, they need the talent at the position and can provide him with better financial compensation than Bills and Chiefs. They also aren’t that badly built a team and have the possibility to make some ground in the division prodviding Deshaun was just rusty the remainder of last year…

The only annoyance I found with NFL+ was the inability to cast from a device or multi-stream. But it is a fraction of the cost Sunday Ticket will set you back. However, with the accessibility and inclusion on most platforms/devices of YouTube(TV), Sunday Ticket is looking more of an option. The only thing holding me back is the price… “not too appealing” is an understatement IMO. Total price gouging on a cornered market. 🤮 Keep us updated on your decision 👍

@billsfan89 Denver (absolutely overlooked), NYJ, Dallas and Philly are tough outings. Throw in the Fish who have improved. Chargers, Chiefs and Giants who all fielded respectable defenses for the year; if not significant portions. Which leaves Tampa, Raiders, Jags and Washington. Not all bad by any standard. Plus old Billy boy who had his own play very well at times. Going to be a tough year. Hopefully the statement is “better equipped” period.

Actually just watched that Jacksonville game the other day… Massive stinker is absolutely correct but that wasn’t on Daboll. All Allen. On both teams. Josh had so many better open throws underneath or the checkdown and decided to pass them up for the bigger play; When he did hit the open guy for a shorter pass attempt it was more often than not Singletary or Beasley who had someone right on his hip or no ability to turn upfield. Big play attempts I’ve noticed are an absolute must and a tendency of this offensive style in closer games… Put pressure on the other team to have to match the Bills production just as quickly. Then the other side of things is the Jags Josh Allen. Dude was a game wrecker all day long. Massive props have to go there too. Overall in terms of playcalling Daboll had an ability to adjust the game plan and reel Josh back in when he was getting away from the game, more often than not. Dorsey? Yet to see that. And the meltdown against Cinci in the P/O’s, in my opinion, is indicative of a guy who needs to learn that sometimes things have to go out of the window. I don’t think Dorsey is bad by any standards but I believe that Josh elevates A LOT around him. Guess we will see. We can only hope as there are several, going by last year and their additions this off-season, decent defenses we see throughout the schedule this year.

Ed Wang… 🥴

Honestly think you have to continue to use Josh the way they have with the exception of so many QB sneaks. He has way too much value and talent that can overload a defense when he’s used in a mobile manner. And That’s where Murray and/or Harris will have their best value. Josh just has to be smarter with how a play is finished… “Make a business decision” is the proverbial phrase.

QB play wasn’t THAT bad out in the bay… wasn’t great either but nowhere near the incompetency that the Jets had bro.

If Tom ever has anything to do with that franchise it is an absolute slap in the face to their fans and Mark Davis should be ashamed of himself. Then you see his hair cuts and realize he can easily make a bad decision. Will prob’ happen then.

Chuck Clark can do nothing but help that secondary. Which is a frustrating thought. Curious to see if they switch Whitehead to a role closer to the one he had in Tampa but their defense will always go through Q-Will. If they improve as a whole and get better production from Johnson2 and McDonald4, they could be a serious problem. Again, a frustrating thought.

As @teef would say… This **** place….

Actually about one of the only things the NFL does that I think has some form of value these days as it’s by players for players. Now, this isn’t a personal Top 10 but those who I think will be the Top 10: 1). Mahomes 2). Jefferson 3). Kelce 4). Hill 5). Hurts 6). Burrow 7). Josh 8). Parsons 9). Bosa 10). Sauce Gardner Yeah but a lot of it goes down to Playoff teams… which is why I think Burrow will edge Josh on the list. Think the list with Josh @ #1 either belongs to a divisional opponent or a teammate. Or maybe a Bills fan @ heart?

Cool concept but that image is awful… Sorry.

Think Dodson comes away with it to begin with then underperforming play leads to Williams being out into that role.

Tough ask to make a roster period as a late round pick or a UDFA but if Gouraige is on par with Quessenberry, you have to take him IMO given his experience at both Tackle and Guard. Furthermore, if Brown plays to the level of the past 2 years and the guard play next to him is improved will they be willing to love on from the incumbent hope of his turning the corner and actually address it to a serious extent ASAP?

I get that. Didn’t suggest Shorter wasn’t going to make it at all but rather questioned the similarity and how they, in scouting reports, excel at ST which is why I proposed if both can make it…

Will be exciting to see what happens between Shavers and Shorter. Same position, similar build and potentially both are prized for an ST role at a minimum. Makes you wonder if both can make it…?

Well we are about to find out real quick if Dodson just hasn’t had his moment to shine in confidence going into his 4th year… There was no way Milano and Edmunds were going to be leapfrogged regardless of how much people disliked the latter.

Gouraige and Vincent are the most intriguing to me. Think Gouriage makes it if he can beat out Quessenberry and/or Doyle. Or maybe they have him competing against Bates, Boettger and Broeker for a guard spot? He did after all play a lot of games at left guard for the Gators so the position flexibility on the line is there.

So moral of your story is: Don’t smell your own farts. 🧠

Thought maybe he might have specified before or after what positional groups he was happy with the draft complete. Obviously we all feel defensive line is going to be one of the two but I wonder if both or there’s another group he feels needs an extra presence to push, mentor or be a safety net if what they have doesn’t work out.

Any guesses as to whom they are? Or was it a generalised statement?
