  1. I don't mind the odd number of games if every team has to play one at a neutral site. Taking away home games and making a team play in another country is BS, though if they're doing it for some but not others.
  2. Williams can't win with those who dislike him for reasons that have nothing to do with football. He had a historically good rookie season with 3,500 passing yards, 20/6 TDs/INTs, and 500 rushing yards. It's likely one of the top 5 rookie QB seasons of all time. Just to put his season into perspective, he has the most combined yards of any Bears QB in history and the second best TD/INT ratio. Eric Kramer had one great season out of nowhere in 1995. After that, Williams just had the second best season at QB in the 106 year history of the team.
  3. My hottest take is that the Bills should have let Shakir walk. He’s a good, efficient option when used sparingly, but he’s not someone who should be heavily targeted. In 2023, he had 600 yards and 2 TDs on 45 targets which was great. In 2024 he received an additional 55 targets, but his production only increased by 200 yards and 2 TDs. Meanwhile, they passed on Worthy and McConkey, presumably because they didn’t need slot receivers. What’s more is they turned their first round pick into Keon Coleman and are playing him out of position. Instead of putting him in the slot and let him bully defenders on slants, they’ve got him chasing jump balls on the boundary because he can’t get separation out there. Khalil should have been given the Gabe Davis treatment. Let him put up good numbers on a late round rookie contract and then let someone else pay him to be something more than what his skills suggest he can be.
  4. I can’t imagine this has any impact on their draft plans. This is an effort to shore up the floor of the DB room.
  5. IMO, there are 257 draftable players.
  6. A 32 year old with a blown achilles is the perfect addition to a defense featuring Bosa, Benford, Milano, Daquan, Rapp, Hamlin, etc. Surely they’ll be healthy in the postseason.
  7. Buffalo drafting EJ Manuel shouldn’t be a cautionary tale for NO. If anything, it should encourage them to take a swing at QB. There wasn’t a player taken in the next 10 picks that would have helped Buffalo in the slightest. Hopkins went 27th with Ertz and Darius Slay going at 35 and 36. None of them were likely in consideration at 16 even if the Bills passed on a QB, so literally nothing of value was lost by taking a swing on EJ. This is a similar draft with most “experts” saying that there isn’t much in the way of high end talent out there. The blue chip prospects are going to be long gone by pick 9, so the opportunity cost of missing on a QB is pretty low.
  8. Figures you’re convicting him of things he’s not even accused of.
  9. During the most recent argument, police said she told Tyreek Hill that he wasn’t involved enough with their child. She then said Tyreek Hill became irritated and, “without malice,” grabbed the baby and began walking with her, they wrote. And did I miss the part where he was accused of being physical with her? No wait, she specifically said he didn’t.
  10. He’s accused of throwing his own computer on the floor?
  11. It’s important to ensure you’ve got a 3rd round pick next year so that you can use it to trade for a player mid-season at a position you didn’t fill in the first round of the previous year’s draft on account of trading down to recoup the third round pick you traded away mid-season the year before.
  12. Your’e thinking of Kellen Winslow Jr. Kevin Winslow Jr. is the guy who made all the funny sound effects in the Police Academy movies.
  13. Part of it comes down to what constitutes a slot receiver. There were only 21 players (excluding TEs) who lined up in the slot at least 50% of the time. If that’s your definition, he’s probably in the 7-8 range (depending on how you rank him among guys like McConkey, Godwin, Kupp, Jennings, Smith-Njigba, Reed, Boyd, Thielen). If you expand that to those with at least 40% of their snaps from the slot, there are 40 players, and Shakir’s maybe 25th best.
