    I agree with a previous poster that Quinton Morris is a fine -if wildly underused- TE, so the roster is now set at that position. Barring significant injury, no other player need apply. I also think we’re better at WR than most believe. Therefore, commit the rest of the Draft to OL & DL. If a Wideout they really like becomes available, fine. But we can never have enough solid OL and our DT’s are all 1 year guys. I no longer see a path to trading for DHop, so we roll with who we have and look to improve our lines.

     

     

    You know, Chand, my real world buddy, Bagel as he used to be known around here (a longtime member here who just hasn't posted in forever), kind of agrees with you. 

     

    He is hoping for some better play and a turnaround by Gabe into, at the very least, a true #2 and he thinks very highly of Shakir's future.

     

    I know, I know...it goes against TSW standing policy to disagree with somebody  and NOT be mean about it, insulting, or even then to give credit to something we may disagree upon.

     

    However, darn it, I am doing it right here and now!  I want more help at receiver, but I get and respect your point.

     

    BTW, if this were a @nucci post and if he was commenting similarly  as I have the entire post would be...

     

    "I disagree, but maybe.  We'll see." 

     

    Word salads can be a such waste of time.  Direct and to the point is always cherished.  Long live ya, Nuch!

    Have the Bills really been drafting that much better than the Pats over the past few years?

     

    BTW, khakis, love it.

     

    Khakis...so stolen from somewhere else.  I pride myself a bit on my humor, but I give credit where credit is due.  It was someone from twitter a few months ago.  Loved it.

     

    and *sssshhhh*   *whisper* (I agree and have spoken with others about the fact that I don't love our drafting the last few years).

     

    I love Beane.  I am the guy who a few years ago started threads about him being a witch and how I want him to run my life.

     

    However much faith I have in him, though, it is not blind faith like it used to be.

    Interesting is an equivocal word. It can be like Mr. Spock's fascinating, but also the enigmatic word of praise you use when someone who can't draw asks for your opinion of their artwork. I'm going with the latter in this case, because if Beane doesn't spend a day one or two pick on OL and Brown plays like Brown has played, it's going to get ugly fast. (Maybe he doesn't, but Beane is unwise not to have a backup plan and right now it isn't on the roster.)

    Within 4 hours prior to the draft, almost every single radio and tv station that covers the NFL in this country will have someone on their broadcast say, "If __________ is still on the board when [any team]'s pick comes up, let me tell ya you are going to see [any team's draft rep] [RUN UP/FLY UP/SPRINT UP] to the podium to make that pick!"

    I agree. Davis will likely get a nice contract offer from another team. Of course, a lot will depend on this season's play. 

     

    I'd rather let Davis walk and draft a cheaper WR on a rookie contract. Davis is definetly replaceable. 

     

     

    newcam, even if he has the exact same season this year that he had last year somebody is going to offer him no less...no less than 10 million per, for 3-5 years.  However, likely even more.

     

    I agree with you completely.  No way. Time to move on.

    Actually I am very motivated by faith in my daily life. But it doesn't help score touchdowns against Cincinnati in the playoffs.

     

    And.. to the original point, it didn't help Micah Hyde run that kick back, the 10 guys blocking for him did. It wasn't divine intervention. It was just good solid special teams play

     

     

     

     

     

     

    SUNY, please know this first and foremost.  I commented about the comment or statement.

     

    Please do not perceive it at all (and I don't believe you have, but I just want to get it out there) that I was judging your faith.  THAT is way, way above my pay grade.

     

    However, my comment was more about how Josh views his faith, or the way he sees the world, or the messages or cues he takes from it.

     

    Which I also stand by my point made in the combined posts above about it.  I do not believe it to be a weakness, as was stated in your original post.

     

    You are 100% correct about the fact that it was Hines and those 10 guys blocking for him.  We just view what "may" have motivated them to do their jobs, in that particular instance...in that moment and given what they all had recently experienced, a little differently.

     

    Go Bills.

    you missed his point. 

    He wasn't down on God at all, he was saying it was a sign of Allen's youth that he thinks God cares about a football game. 

     

    You win by out-executing the opponent, period.

     

    The Bills lost their edge trying to out-pray and out-sad opponents down the stretch last year. Now he is hopeful that since that strategy didn't work and the opponents are going to make it even more difficult, the team will look internally to get their competitive edge back

     

     

     

     

    I didn't miss his point.

     

    I think that Allen's youth has nothing to do with it.  I think, when we face adversity, especially with life threatening ones of those close to  us, you handle it in different ways...and you see signs, for whatever the reason.

     

    The things that rally us for the better are what we make of them.  That is what it meant to Josh.  Some people...I know this is crazy for some of you...are rallied by and get strength by their faith, regardless of the events that brought them to that conclusion.

     

    I most certainly don't look at it as something that made Josh and the team "mentally weak."

     

    ...nor do I view his tears that way.  Quite the contrary.

    This is exactly what the Bills needed!

     

    The team was clearly mentally weak last year. I know "everything happened" last year but hearing Josh cry and say that God is real because of a kickoff runback... Reminds you how young he is.

     

    This team needs a reason to "get up" for games, since after our regular season chiefs game, it was all downhill from there (and not in a good way).

     

    Jets could easily win the division... It's probably a coin toss right now. And if fins wimpy QB actually stays healthy they can make noise.

     

    All in all even if it means a couple down years, Josh and this team needs a wakeup call, and to get more mentally resilient. Because last year their attitude belonged in the kiddy pool.

     

     

     

    Down with God and up with Rodgers as motivation is a weird flex, but hey, to each his own.  

     

    We all walk our own path.  I just love the view on mine and the way it makes me feel, but it may not be for everybody.

     

    May you all find peace.

     

    Go Bills!

    Agreed.


     I think the Packers played this just right.  They got the most out of Rodgers that they could, and then managed to acquire some very nice draft capital for him on the way out the door.  NE got nothing when Brady left, and he probably had a lot more left in the tank than Rodgers does.

     

     

    I could not agree with that more.  Got a lot out of him and still traded him towards the end for reasonably good value.

     

    Good move.  Actually, I believe a good move for both teams.

  14. He should have a pretty good year with the Jets.  I am of two minorities here:

     

    I think the Jets are a pretty good team and save for some injuries might have squeezed into the playoffs...I like their nastiness; and

     

    I also actually think Tua is a pretty good QB whose obvious injuries last year got the best of him.

     

    That said Buffalo should still win the division, but I think it is going to be close.  We could be looking at 3 teams being separated by a staggering of 12-11-10 wins, or even closer.

     

    ...no...New England will not be one of those three teams.

    The teams that need to have concern is where there is a not cemented tradition in the NFL like the Jags moving to London someday.  
     

    The owners now that Buffalo has a new stadium deal worth $1.54 bil. Of public NYS $ is ludicrous.  They would never approve of it.

     

    NYS would make such a public relations nightmare including the Governor of NYS who governs the 2nd or 3rd largest and most influential state in the union and where the league office resides would never happen.

     

    Besides Terry if anything wants a legacy for their daughters to own when he decides to take a step back.  He’s not an invalid.  So as my least favorite talented QB who likes going into the dark stars, R-E-L-A-X.


     

    Solid as usual, Guns!

     

    I am of the mindset that I don’t THINK they are leaving, either.

     

    However, the possibility does exist, albeit in a Dumb and Dumber “so you’re saying there’s a chance?”, way.

     

    What I am more focused on right now is: WR, LB, OL and not necessarily in that order.

     

    BTW, my #ShouldHaveGivenHarryThe6Mill is way in my rear view mirror and I am over it.*

    The toughest part of projecting the Bills first round is knowing which 25 players will be picked before the Bills are on the clock.  Barring a trade, the Bills will select from among these players, in this order, depending on who remains on the  board:

     

    1. Dalton Kindcaid TE (despite no top 30 visit.  No visit was needed. If Kincaid is on the board, very likely he is easily the BPA.  Bill top 30 visits or private workouts with three other TE's.  This is a position of interest to the Bills. 
    2. Michael Mayer  TE.  If Kincaid is off the board and Mayers is left he will be the pick for the same reasons. 
    3. Darnell Wright OT.  If Kincaid and Mayer are off the board, and Wright is on the board, he is likely the top rated player left whom the Bills have targeted with a top 30 visit. 
    4. Zay Flowers WR.  If the top 3 players are gone, and Flowers is left, he is almost certainly the best offensive weapon left on board. Separation is 95% of what matters for NFL WRs and Flowers is arguably the best separator in the pass (Bills had top 30 visit with Flowers)
    5. Darnell Washtington TE.  Bills had a top 30 interview with Washington. Likely in hopes of landing him in the second.  But the Bills will be emotionally committed to drafting offense with pick 1.  TE is a position of interest to the Bills, and Washington would be taken ahead of remaining lineman (assuming nothing weird like Broderick Jones being on the board still).  Washington is one of one in this draft in terms of physical potential at the TE position. (Note Wright and Flowers will be targeted ahead of Washington, because they are far more likely to have 2023 impact. Long term Washington may improve more important.

     

     


     

    Chaos, will you at least stop and consider the fact that the Bills might take a tight end in the first round of the draft?

     

    Stop the hate, we could use a back up to Knox.
