  1. To be fair to Beasley, that drop-off did coincide with having his ribs broken on Halloween. On the other hand, instead of allowing them to heal, he kept playing and they bothered him all season.
  2. Well, you can, actually. The team usually rosters 6 WR, 5 active on game day. Diggs Davis Shakir Harty - also KR/PR Sherfield - special teams draft pick or vet signed after draft Unless the Bills don't draft a WR (which would piss me off), who do you want to see traded or cut to make room for Beasley? He doesn't want to land on the practice squad, not with his smack talk about "best slot on the team" and with Harty on the books for $3.75M this season
  3. Man only played 5 games. It's nice to see a guy with confidence in himself. He's not wrong that he would be the best slot receiver on the team, but right now the only slot receiver on the team is Khalil Shakir, and the draft/post draft FA moves haven't started yet.
  4. Huh. If you remember attending and winning 3 AFC championship games, do you remember that Kelly's 1st 3 years with the Bills were 4-12, then 7-8, then 12-4 with high expectations and LOST the AFC championship, then 9-7 on a team that had been expected to contend for the AFC Championship again but LOST in the divisional round? So basically you're upset with a year in which we lost in the divisional round again, but this time after a 13-3 season where we lost our defensive star at Thanksgiving?
  5. I think a better way to put it is Beane is willing to move around, but overall he wants to keep his picks. It likely factored in that the Bills had already traded up for Elam. Beane wanted to get a bit of draft capital by moving back. He could have stayed pat or traded back in the 1st and drafted Watson, then Cam Taylor-Britt was available in the 2nd. But that's 20-20 hindsight.
  6. While we're being revisionist, it may be worth noting that Pittsburgh drafted Pickens with pick #52. The Bills original round 2 pick was pick #57. So there is actually no way that we could have drafted PIckens, unless you thought we should take him in the first round? And again - it may be worth noting that Watson was drafted at #34, the 2nd pick of the 2nd round. So where did you want the Bills to draft Watson? In the 1st instead of Elam? Isn't 3 lbs like, whether or not the guy has chugged a bottle of gatorade and had big meal recently, while waiting to take a dump until after the weigh in?
  7. Whatever gave you the notion that the only players worth drafting in the 1st round are pro bowlers and all pros? Second, whatever gave you the notion that the truly talented 1st round players who become pro bowlers and all pros, are the ones that the likes of Bucky Brooks identifies? The point of the 1st round is you get a chance to draft and sign player on a cost controlled contract for 5 years. If he's a solid starter within 2 years, you win.
  8. I am not lobbying for Flowers. But FWIW, Greg Cosell, who has watched a minute of NFL film, profiled Zay Flowers as a WR he saw as being able to play at "all 3 levels" in the NFL. To the OP, I'll point out that the same argument people make against drafting ILB in the first, applies to some extent to TE. The top 10 WR in the league have $20-$30M/yr AAV contracts. The top 2 TE in the league have contracts over $15M AAV, Kelce is $14.3M, then it tails off down to $10 Even Engram at $11M By the way of the top 10 salary TE in AAV, only two (Njoku and Engram) were drafted in the 1st round.
  9. Eating the whole bag at one go is another solution "Friends don't let friends do chains"
  10. So FWIW since apparently this all came from some source calling itself "Deuxmoi" Same source came back with this "The rumor is from January. Was covered by some local radio in January. The IG stuff happened this week and she revealed her new boob job. They broke up but there is not a knocked up bartender. There is fed up, unengaged Brittany." That last would kind of fit with the timeline - she was in the house taking pictures of Josh after the snowstorm when the team had to get to the stadium to fly out, she was with him on the field after the Miami playoff win, she posted a message of support after the Bengals loss, she went on vacation with him to Hawaii at the end of Feb/early March, went on vacation with a group of their friends to Mexico in March. If there was cheating, maybe they moved on, but she gave him an ultimatum "get engaged or break up" and he thought about it and said "not getting engaged", so they broke up.
  11. Wow, McCoy has chubbed out
  12. "Thank you for having us on...we're wearing black today, for your funeral" Josh Allen takes no prisoners in the Talking of Trash.
  13. Yes, they do, including home games. There is a schedule they follow that varies from team to team but typical would be a team meal, final run-through of the game plan and team meetings about 7 pm, some form of Chapel or religious service for those who want it, and 10 pm curfew. That said, teams have been known to allow veteran players or star players to go home after the team meetings and sleep at home, or, to go home in the morning before the game. 'Zo Alexander talked about how the Bills allowed him to go home and spend a couple hours watching cartoons with his kids, and it really helped him. He was still one of the earliest to get to the stadium!
  14. Well, especially the Jets understandably don't want a 1 year rental while giving up multi-year picks. Yeah, that roughing call on Milano was pretty weak-sauce IMHO, and Tua absolutely had the ability to control how he fell there to some extent. In general of course, it's a point that the player can't always avoid concussion-causing hits.
  15. I have not heard anything about this. Can you provide any more details, links etc etc?
  16. Huh? Diggs cares about football. He comes to play. He is going to move on, Allen is going to move on, and the team is going to move on. Unless Diggs continues this pattern of behavior this upcoming season, it's going to be a non-issue.
  17. If Frazier had wanted to make a lateral move to a DC position on a different team, the Bills almost 100% would have released him from his contract to pursue that. Therefore, I think it can be concluded with pretty high certainty, that a lateral move to DC was NOT what Frazier wanted to happen.
  18. OK, I might disagree with one of them and I might name another player or 3. That would be a distraction from my point: you were canonizing St Diggs as the only player who came to play in the Bengals game, and the only one who came to play in the previous game, and justifying his post-game behavior as a result of that. I see it's now "1 of only 2-3 players that actually showed up to play hard", and that's fine. Milano and Edmunds, the players you name, were in the locker room after the game, available to the press. They were available on Locker Clean Out day. Diggs dipped. Obviously you can be a passionate, invested competitor and angry and upset about a loss without dipping on your your responsibilities as a captain of the team and as an NFL player under contract governed by the CBA, which mandates press availability, win or lose.
  19. Don't give this guy the clicks. He's just re-tweeting Buffalo Bills twitter account stuff
  20. Surely you can see the difference between someone who might be considered a Bills FO Insider (since Von has publicized "shadowing" Beane as a GM), and fan conversation on a message board ("gossip")? I mean this in the nicest possible way: You do realize you're on a "fan board" here? Nitpicking what players and coaches and FO say is one of the things we do. If you consider this insanity, or it bothers you, you might wish to reconsider the life choices which brought you here.
  21. I don't think they're pointing away, No, but the networks obviously select and edit what they're going to show. While the other team's offense/our defense is on the field, their focus is rightfully on those interactions. Should it not be? When you say "I see every Bills game", are you speaking of watching live, or are you speaking of watching what the TV editors choose us to see? I have seen Allen talking to teammates. I'm not equipped to compare it to Mahomes and Brady. I think it's probably fair to say that Allen doesn't get in other players' grills, I haven't seen that from him since he was a rookie.
  22. This is factually incorrect according to the NFL/NFLPA CBA. The last sentence is fan ire speaking, but it's not how team sports work, either.
