dollars 2 donuts

If you like the Bills and you like Madden and you like the Bills in Madden what do you think we are going to talk about now?!! ?...who told you? OK, cutting to the chase here, EA has started to release the individual player ratings on Madden starting with WRs/TEs and followed yesterday with Edge Rushers/LBs and RBs today, with CBs and Dline on Thursday. Here's the link: https://www.ea.com/games/madden-nfl/player-ratings/player-filter/player-position/LE,LOLB,MLB,RE,ROLB#ratings-database This will not be an exhaustive list of Bills, just the primary impact players/starters with maybe some commentary. Please feel free to add your own thoughts and research. I will try to add each position daily culminating with the QB and team ratings this Friday. However, please know that my schedule may change as I am an incredibly important and busy person as Chief Operating President Officer at Important Tech, INC. LLC, a multi-national Erie County branch of Big Deal, LTD. (key: bold number is the player's overall rating, and the ranking number in parenthesis is their rank at that position) (7/18) Wide Receivers / Tight Ends: Stephon Diggs 95 Overall (5th WR, 7th of WRs/TEs) Dawson Knox 83 (11th) Gabriel Davis 80 (57th tied) Jamison Crowder 80 (57th tied) iMcK 76 (91st) OJ Howard 75 (41st) I believe Diggs may have dropped just a bit from last year(96 maybe?), but I am fine with that. I thought Knox might have been a little higher than 11th, but I am also comfortable with that and his 83 is respectable. Should he be an 85? Yes, but again not quibbling here. Given that it is not an extensive body of work Davis at 80 is good, too and I am pleased to see Crowder at 80, as well. I am having difficulty as a Bills fan wrapping my head around having an offense that may have 3 WRs 80 and above, with a TE 80 and above hitting the field at once with a QB that should really be at least a 95 (we'll see). Crazy. (7/19) Edge Rushers: Von Miller 92 (8th) Edmunds 84 (44th) Milano 83 (61st) Rousseau 76 (103rd) As with Diggs I think Miller dropped as well from 94. And as with Diggs, too, I am fine with it. Are our LBs a tick higher than what they were given? Probably. After that, nobody until Rousseau. (7/20) Running Backs: Singletary 81 (35th) Cook 75 (65th) (Further) Duke Johnson 73 (75th) Moss 72 (88th) Again, maybe I am getting soft as I turn the corner into my teen, acne and urges years, but I am perfectly fine with DS at 81. Cook at 75 is so easily to be expected as a rookie and what round he was picked in. As with my comment up with the receivers and tight end the Bills could take the field on offense in Madden with every single skill position (5 or 6) at 80 or above, with two of those (Diggs and Allen) for sure in the 90s. Good times compared to how bad this team has been in Madden in previous years. (7/21) Cornerbacks and Dline: Tre White 93 (9th Overall, 3rd CB) Von Miller 92 (16th, 5th RE) Micah Hyde 91 (29th, 6th S, 3rd FS) Jordan Poyer 90 (37th, 10th S, 6th SS) Taron Johnson 82 (93rd) Ed Oliver 81 (100th) DaQuon Jones 75 (203rd) Jordan Phillips 73 (228th) Kaiir Elam 73 (255) Tim Settle 73 (264th) AJ 72 (267) I know, I know, weird grouping for release of ratings mixing Dline and DBs. Don't shoot the messenger, this is on EA. Tre White still getting the love, but it may be a step back from last year. I believe he may have been a 94 or 95. Still, 3rd overall amongst the CBs I will live with. Hyde and Poyer right where @Warcodered showed us they would be yesterday. Right or wrong that is where they are. TJ, getting a bit of surprising love, but I will most certainly take it. I may be in the minority, but I think Oliver should be a tic or two higher...82 might just be right for him. I am quibbling, but still. The thing is we see a steeeeeep drop off after that before we get to Jones at 203. The big debate or the one I have the biggest problem with is Elam at 73 (EDIT: Elam is the 111th rated CB overall...jeepers. will check the rookie at some point) . Yes he is a rookie, but he is a 1st round pick. I may check later to see where other first round DBs rank. I will recheck the list later, but boy. You guys be the judge if some of our other guys should appear earlier. I will say that with our LBs this puts us with 8 potential players on the field in the 80s or above on D...big day tomorrow with QBs and Teams. (7/22) Quarterbacks: Allen 92 (4th) 4th…OK. 92…not really ok, but it is to scale. Brady had a great season last year, but it is more than that in the ratings and I just don’t think he should be number 1 at 97. (7/22) Teams: Bills 89 (2nd) Bills under 90 I don’t like, but will take the number 2 spot in the league. However, Tampa at number 1! EDIT: However, Tampa at number 1?1?! Your moms could take Tampa Bay out at any given time. So...ummm...I guess we are done here... ... ... ...well...bye you guys.

You're not kidding, Badol. Back awhile when my wife and I were coming up on our 10th anniversary I kept hearing from friends and family (and her) how great she was and how "she's the best!" and how much she liked diamonds.

I don't know if it has been brought up and I didn't watch the game, but going on memory the Stars have tied the Bills for making it to 4 straight football championship games. 1983, 1984, 1985, 2022

You made my day, Chandler, because I mistakenly thought camp opened on the 28th. You shaved off 4 days. Three weeks, baby, three weeks!

Guns, I promise you I am not watching it. Truly, as I have stated this in another thread around here, I really don't like sports talk shows. Radio? yes, but not TV and I haven't watched for awhile. BUUUUTTTTTT this showed up on my twitter. I think Prime-time Buffalo Rumblings posted it with the comment "Mother of God". ...which is bad form because I truly believe God would never allow such lunacy. Although he did allow "Hello Larry" to have a full season.

Meh, it's a lengthy video segment (the original) about Baker/Browns/Panthers and this was just a piece of their discussion. More click baity, Batty, if Skip didn't have a history of adulation for Mayfield.

Starting at 7:36. I submit to you all...Skippy. EDIT: I was able to start it, or rather link it, right from where Shannon asked the question. EDIT 2: Clinging...clinging to his talisman Baker and that he is better than Josh.

The summer offseason makes me want to kill myself.

I'll believe this when Jason La Canfora tweets it from his mom's basement or from when he notes it in his new blog "What's a Canfora?". After he does his chores, of course.

Yeah, and you guys know more than me because isn't it also three OCs in 4 years? That can't be really good for your first 4 frames in the league as a QB.

Waiting with baited breathe for the Mark Brammer photo. EDIT: i couldn't wait any longer.

Yeah, Tuel, also they just plain really ARE NOT making the game from scratch. You don’t need as big a development team. and who is anyone kidding, this is still a tremendous money maker for EA, especially with the micro transactions of MUT.

You have no idea how much I couldn't agree more.

The only thing this story about an NFL talking head reminded me of...is that John Clayton passed away. I forgot or hadn't real thought about it since it happen. The season will be just a little bit different.

Tuel, I think this is just the NFL playing around with the covers. If it was from EA twitter I would speculate more about alternative covers, but it doesn't appear that way. EOBF, you know what I never understood? Madden is such a big deal for EA and it is yearly. SO why just leave it up to EA Tiberon? Why wouldn't they have another studio working on it, as well, and alternate every two years like Activision used to do with CoD? They can learn from each other and it gives each studio two years to shape the game. Silliness that they don't.

It is infinity days before the 2022 season starts. I'm sure of this. I have counted twice. What is wrong with all of you?! We could literally fit 2 Depp/Heard* trials in the time we have and still have time left over. (* edgy and topical quota - filled)

Cincy...Cincy, my old friend...you had me at "...punish the Browns for their deeply irresponsible act..." EDIT: Please note, I'm just agreeing on IF the NFL is having the debate of 8 games out without pay or an entire season out with it, yeah, I am onboard as long as they reevaluate the following season. EDIT 2: When he came out in the draft I wanted DW on the Bills so. Badly. I thought he was going to be something special, which he is on the field. Time is a funny thing because now I am just not feeling it as much.

Coming ESPN Interviews: “Deshaun, you are one of the greats of this league with your eye on a super bowl ring! So besides your sexual perversions and extremely creepy and criminal subversion of women that borders on rape and forced prostitution what do YOU think are the biggest obstacles to overcome this season to make Browns fans happy?”

i like sliding in his 11,000+ yards from the useless just to have a total profession yards cume that is slightly higher.

If this is the end of the road then 82,000,000+ career dollars earned is not bad. Nicely done, Fitz. He went to Harvard, you know.

Although we are not of the same thought, please know, Johnny, that I pray for you...every single damn day from here on out.

ARE YOU FREAING KIDDING ME, NJ?! I JUST GOT OVER IT LAST NIGHT AT AROUND 10 PM. BUT HONESTLY THANK YOU FOR THIS. PLEASE WHY DON'T YOU COME OVER AND KICK MY DOG AND MAKE FUN OF MY WIFE'S COOKING?!* (* psst...forget the dog stuff, but please come over and say the thing about my wife's cooking...please...honestly you don't know what it is like)

If I saw him eating these. I respect all people. All races. All creeds. However, if you eat these please know that I am perfectly comfortable stating the FACT that you will rot in hell for all eternity...because you will...because it's a fact.

In a situation where you feel utterly powerless in the face of such tragedy and evil something as simple as just giving not only makes you feel like you did at least a little something for those in need, but more so food matters in this situation…hell, it matters in all situations. We gave to the BCF yesterday. This isn’t a brag. This is a plea.

His boogers also cure feline aids…incase you guys didn’t know.
