  1. I don’t watch much Fox, so idgaf. Wonder how much Kraft is funneling to him after retirement to make up for all those half ass contracts he accepted for the Pats.
  2. He did, but the Bills also made the right call there, he had one season in 4 with double digit sacks (10 on the nose) after he left, his first year. He was up there in years, they got the absolute best out of him. If there’s ONE thing Bellicheck has right, it’s move on a year too soon rather than 1 too late. I understand his desire to play more and I understand the Bills not being willing to pay for it. A rare instance where both the player and the team got a good deal. Absolutely one of the All-time greats. Either the refs held a grudge for a long time or this is severely over blown. He got himself in some odd looking spots because he got low and tried to bend around the corner, but it wasn’t a hold every play like Bills fans want to believe.
  3. Nailed it. Honestly, I could see it on FGs, not extra points. If they don’t catch it, let him fire it or run. I think you are right, it would just be a time out burner until somebody said screw it, let’s see you actually run the play.
  4. I am with you, I’m saying people have come to think of the pats system as interchangeable. I don’t think it will be so easy without Brady, period. Mac n Cheez is no Tawmy. I expect them to struggle a lot and I think not have Scarnechia (probably butchered that) will have a big impact on the line play. I expect the pats to be sub .500 this year.
  5. I want to go, but if Jab receipts are required, I’m out.
  6. The thing is, they have lost him before and kept right on going. I think it’s bigger this time because there’s no Brady to cover it all, but that’s yet to be proven. I personally think you will see more of a drop off from the Online coach retiring.
  7. Awesome. That sounds pretty BA. In all seriousness, he has to make the team before I worry about it. He’s basically the Josh Allen of Punters at this point. All the tools are there, but everyone knows you can’t fix holding at this level. Really though, he does have to reshape his punts to much more hang time and he has to be consistently good at the hold or he won’t make the team. It’s really that simple. I’m rooting for him, but he’s going to have to earn it. You know damn well this team will take the holding on kicks over the extra yards on punts, they did it all last season.
  8. You have a point.. if it requires a current jab, I’ll happily stay home and enjoy better views on TV.
  9. Real deal, I’ll watch on TV. That said, if the Bills make it in 2025, I’ll take my ass to Nawlins if I can score a pair of decent tickets under $5k. I don’t want to go to AZ or LV, so if we make it, cool, I have a nice TV. Get to the Super Dome and I’m in
  10. I thought they were cracking down on rookie hazing, nobody should be tortured through a Sabres game against their will.
  11. Honestly, he turned into a head case, but he has got himself together and had a decent year last season. I think he got into drugs after getting picked to be real honest, but that’s from hearing the stories of him. Either way, he did look good in college, and had the measurables you want.
  12. Would be nice to have another guy with some talent and experience in the roster. I know we all skip over thinking about ANYBODY being a serious contender in the East, but the Phins could be a tough competitor this year. Tua hasn’t looked great and that’s the big hope, but if he’s healthy and he’s on point, that’s going to be a good offense. They have so much talent he just has to get the ball to, I really don’t want to line up across from Waddle and Hill with a rookie and Dane Jackson, if Tre is back, that’s fine, but he can’t run with them either. For me, I’d love to see another quality CB added. You never want to rely on a rookie, there’s not a choice, but you don’t want to. You have a great player coming back, but you don’t know what he’s going to be when he gets here. The CB position is far from “set”.
  13. Gotta wonder how hard it is to even get an interview with those ***** shows on the resume. I’m sure he had his list of “ I said this guy, they did this”
  14. I like it, the Rams are extremely over rated, Allen will have himself a DAY.
  15. The 5th year deal is non-negotiable unless an extension is signed. So he really has no say in it.
  16. Yes! People fail to look at the opportunity cost of taking these projects instead of the best player. I call Bull on Beane drafting BPA, he has consistently drafted for need early and it’s worked exactly 1 time. Every other hole he’s forced a pick to fill in the draft has been a failure. Later in the draft when they appear to go after BPA, the results are much better. THIS is why BPA matters.
  17. All the talent in front of those guys can barely get league minimum… or has t signed, sooo…
  18. Groot did as well as one could hope, the other two can’t crack a talentless rotation, that’s 2 wasted 2nd round picks if they don’t figure it out quickly. The second round pick should be a near immediate starter, since Beane has been in charge they haven’t gotten a single starter in 4 years from round 2 and he APPEARS to have whiffed on every top pick for the DL. Yes Oliver is starting, but nobody would give you a first round pick for his performance. Thus far, Beane has not HIT on a single top end draft pick on the defense. What the other GM said is completely accurate.
  19. Who? Singletary looks like a replacement level type of guy, so that’s fine, he starts. Moss has done less than nothing and the GM call the back-up RB he spent a second round pick on a “replacement back”, IE back up/change of pace guy. There’s one guy who can even be argued as a starter.
  20. Show him stuck in the dog pound, looking all hungry, sad music playing in the background, “for only 1.1 Million a game, you can save this poor QB, give him a chance to live free and play again” (breaks to a highlight reel of Baker running around throwing the ball with smiles on his face). “Call today and do your part to save this boy from the Pound”.
  21. That’s what Watson did to get the largest full guarantee contract ever, should work for Baker too.
  22. Yet the Bills have wasted a second and 2 thirds on it over the last 3 years and STILL don’t have a starter.. unreal.
  23. 1) you want Beane to get credit for identifying the Wyatt talent, but not take the blame for giving up an All-Pro for a 5th round pick… not how that works, but ok. 2) Thus far both Moss and Epenesa have been huge busts. 3) The line rotation is evidence that you have no talent, do we rotate Diggs, Allen, our entire OL out? No, there are clear starters. Groot played well for a rookie, as I said, I like him, but is he genuinely a difference maker? Not yet. I have high hopes for him. The question mark for Boogie is just what you said, a second round pick spent on a DE who couldn’t really crack a pitifully untalented rotation. If you refuse to believe the talent wasn’t there, look at what happened in the off-season, the starter across from Groot, who got the MOST action, can’t find a job and the primary back up landed on the worst team in football after all the other options dried up. That’s not good. 4) Oliver is still not producing at top 10 pick level, your argument is as dumb as arguing the Bills made the right pick by taking EJ Manuel in the first round, what other QB were they going to take that year? Why take an average player at one position when there are plenty of others to take at…. Here it comes… one of the OTHER 21 starting positions. Oliver is not any better than the other average guys taken at his position that year, which is bad enough, but look through all the players taken after him, there’s not one guy in the first 2 rounds you wouldn’t trade him for? There are quite a few. Drafting for need gets you a less talented roster. I’ll take a Top 10 player at any position vs a mediocre player to fill a hole any day. This is the problem with what the Bills have done under Beane. ONE player they have drafted to fill a need has become great. The rest are average to mediocre. The talent they have passed on in the process, would have made a better team. “So unless you're lumping Moss/Singletary into two separate groups to help prove your point, or are considering one of Harrison Phillips, Cody Ford, AJ Epenesa, Dawson Knox, Boogie Basham, or Spencer Brown to be an under sized “motor” guy, I'm not sure who you're talking about from Rounds 1-3.” News flash, Singletary, Phillips, Epenesa, Basham are all less than ideal size/physical attributes (slow AF comes to mind) and all classified as motor guys. Moss, known for effort (ie motor), but slow, also is not prototypical size, so they all fit in the same category. Knox, athlete with issues, same for Brown, they worked out, which I have given credit for. Ford? The guy who was said to be too slow to play OT, but they tried to make play OT? He’s not quite the same, but it’s more of a trying to be smarter than everyone else and it sure has not worked. This year he drafted 2 stud athletes with picks one and 2, I still don’t see Cook as a good pick, but whatever, then turned right back to the motor guy with no position for the 3rd round. It’s a habit he can’t break and it hasn’t worked yet, so why keep pretending it has?
  24. Sounds like a possible safety conversion, might be another Poyer Type from the sounds.
  25. I went push for the Pats, I don’t see a major change in talent, but I also don’t think they will be anything special at all. I don’t see Mac taking a big step forward, which is the real issue for them. Dolphins added a lot, still hinges on Tua, it’s do it die for him this year. Jets added A LOT of talent, if Wilson can be respectable this year, they will sneak out a few more wins than people think. I see a 6-8 win season for them, IF Wilson puts it together, they are not going to be a fun team to play, especially late in the year when the Rookies hit stride. The Bills honestly are just a little better, the OL didn’t get addressed in a meaningful way, sorry not buying it. The only REAL addition is Saffold and he’s a major injury concern. The WR core got torn apart, time will tell on that, it hinges on Davis breaking out. I think he can/will, but he has to do it or the O will slow down. I know people are all excited about Cook, but he’s going to struggle to get on the field, he couldn’t block me coming as a blitzer and that’s a big deal. If I had to bet, at least early on, he is going to see more time out wide than actually running the ball, cool, but doesn’t address RB still. The D is relying on Groot to step up big and an aging Miller to get some pressure, I expect them to be better. We shall see, especially early when we are running a very inexperienced secondary out there. Once Tre gets back and hopefully Elam claims his spot, it should be better than last year. I expect the first 6 weeks or so to be a little rough. The best thing, Josh Allen is still in the house and looks stronger than ever, he will make up for a lot of the questions. I don’t really expect the Bills record to improve much, if at all, this season. The division got harder and there are plenty of challenges on the schedule.
