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?

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.

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.

Eating the whole bag at one go is another solution "Friends don't let friends do chains"

Apparently not:

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.

FIFY

Wow, McCoy has chubbed out

"Thank you for having us on...we're wearing black today, for your funeral" Josh Allen takes no prisoners in the Talking of Trash.

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!

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.

I have not heard anything about this. Can you provide any more details, links etc etc?

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.

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.

🥰🥰🥰

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.

Don't give this guy the clicks. He's just re-tweeting Buffalo Bills twitter account stuff

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.

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.

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.

I disagree with this C'mon Man. Yes, people are making way more of Diggs behavior after the game than it probably deserves. It happened, that was last season, Move On. But you're going too far in the opposite direction. Diggs wasn't the only player hitting hard in blocking or tackling or going into contact hard after a catch. Yes, the team was flat, but let's not canonize Saint Diggs as the only player who was trying. That isn't true. As far as "what does everyone want him to do", we want him to fulfill his NFL-mandated responsibility for press availability. In team sports, there's also an unwritten protocol for how players are expected to behave, after a loss as well as a win. You listen to what the coaches have to say. If you're a Captain, a leader on the team, you're there for your teammates if they need you. Then you leave, not before. We want him to fulfill those responsibilities, not flee the building and get fetched back by a backup practice squad player and not dip on his press availabilities and leave his team making explanations to the NFL. So yeah, it's not just "the game was over, the season was over, he left". He skated on his coaches, teammates, and (because of violating NFL regulations) the Bills FO. It happened, it's over, we move on, but in no universe is this "Leader of Men" behavior, good teammate behavior, or expected behavior in the NFL. The Bills and the Bills players talking to the media are putting a positive "spin" on it, Good for Them, but they shouldn't have to.

Well, first off, are you attending every game or the majority of them, and focusing on Allen the whole time? The TV doesn't show all sideline interactions, and we don't know what's said in the huddle. The Coach's Film focuses on the field of play just before snap, to the whistle. So I'm not sure how you'd know the extent to which Allen is consoling, firing off at, or calming other players during the game? When things aren't going well, though, he does need to look at the tablet with his coaches/fellow QB Second, as you point out, on-field is only one aspect of managing relationships with players. Off-field may be equally or more important. I know that Beasley and Allen spent a lot of time in 2019 going over film together to get on the same page "if they play us this way, how will we respond?" and Allen continually brought up that Beasley sees the field like a QB. Managing his relationship with Diggs may be as simple as some extra time together watching film, to make sure Diggs understands what the play looked like from Allen's perspective (maybe he wasn't open when Allen had a window to throw, or when he was open Allen had to flush out of the pocket). Most people are complicated, and sometimes if a guy is seeing things from just his perspective giving him a broader perspective can help.

Von Miller is aligned to be cast into the outer darkness by his GM mentor, Brandon "We Don't Talk About Signings, No, No, No" Beane Loose Lips Sink Ships, Von!

Spencer Brown was a total turnstile in pass protection at times last season. Even McDermott acknowledged that at times, Allen was affected too early in the play. That's why the Bills were 7th in passing YPG and 6th in passing NY/A. We averaged 27.8 PPG because Josh Allen is a beast and fell short of 50 rush YPG by the same amount the Bills fell short of 30 PPG (47.6), as well as escaping the pass rush and extending plays. When we faced teams with fierce defenses, we struggled. So far, we have altered the OL by signing a backup G from the Cowboys, a G who lost most of last season to concussions, and a G who spent last season on IR. Any or all of them may be an improvement on last year's G acquisition, Rodger Saffold. Or, they may not. Time will tell. The O players you mention are 1) a fast smurf whose best season to date was 36 catches for 570 yds, who missed last season with a boo-boo foot 2) a career journeyman/STer entering his 6th year on his 4th team who had a decent gig as a #3 WR in Miami last season. We hope he'll take a step, but we hoped that for McKenzie going into his 6th season last year as well; sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't 3) an RB whose best season (2021) is similar to Singletary's 2021 and 2022 seasons in YSc and YPC (4.6) Don't get me wrong, I hope these are good moves - they have the potential to have a higher ceiling than what we gave up, but they're not the sure bets that "HELL of a lot better/faster" implies.

Apparently so This is the guy he's talking about: https://www.nfl.com/prospects/adetomiwa-adebawore/32004144-4502-1468-3d33-a0f9da804e5c He wants us to spend a first-round pick on another undersized, light DT who "could earn a spot as a rotational interior defender" if he transforms his body.
