Yeah, the idea of benching either Caleb or Maye in their Rookie year is crazy talk. I agree about Vegas definitely, as well as Dallas. Tennessee - maybe. Depends on if they're ready to call Will Levis a failed experiment already. Carolina? They're already benched Bryce Young once. Now that he's gotten the job back, you don't bench him a 2nd time unless you're good and truly ready to turn the page on last year's #1 Pick.

Yep. And there are some teams that are nowhere at QB right now. But no one's going to pick up the remainder of his contract. He'll clear waivers and end up somewhere like Dallas or Las Vegas for the remainder of the year. To the OP's subtitle - I don't see it. Although he is almost literally Mitch Trubisky 2.0, Mitch's route of Redshirting himself for a year on a team where he has practically a 0% chance of seeing the field following being a long term starter isn't a common one. If he doesn't stick with whatever team grabs him this season, he'll more likely sign on with a team that is Drafting a Rookie QB, a team that has a shaky starter, a team that is bringing in vets for a competition, a team that has a QB coming off injury or who is often injured. Buffalo fits none of those and that's why our Backup options are usually not great. As it is, we'd have to release Mitch first - which I don't see as being likely either. We signed him to a 2 year 5.25m dollar deal of which 3.71m was guaranteed. As is often the case, the board's feeling on a player doesn't always match up with the front office. And I think Mitch is one of those cases. I think they'd much sooner ask him to take a pay cut than outright cut him - if anything at all.

The thing's that were worriesome to me about Worthy are showing up in his Rookie season. He's too small and not physical. If you jam him at the point of attack, you can disrupt him easily. He also had a lot of one foot in catches in College. And as we saw on Sunday, he hasn't gotten that down yet in his head. I'm still flabergasted that he was that wide open, made the catch, and didn't think to drag his feet.

This isn't surprsing. While some fans on the board talk ish about Brandon Beane - he's considered one of the very best, if not the best, GM's in the NFL. And just like a Coaching Tree, teams want to get up and comers who have worked under him closely. That's why Brian Gaine was hired as the Houston Texans GM (although he was later fired), Joe Schoen was hired as the New York Giants GM, and Dan Morgan was hired as the Carolina Panthers GM (as @Sierra Foothills reminded me). Guys are always going to be plucked from our Front Office because of the respect Brandon Beane has garnered league wide.

The most insane case of cope I've ever seen

I mean, that would be a controversial one to talk about. Especially the video 😆

Like as in songs that would fit over the "Play of the Year"?

Fellow music nerd myself. I was actually working in a Record Store when the song came out. Funny thing is much like Warren Beatty to Carly Simon's "You're so Vain" and Dave Coulier to Alanis Morissette's "You Oughtta Know" - there is a very strong urban legend that Matthew Gray Gubler (Criminal Minds' Dr. Spencer Reid) is the guy that was hooking up with Brandon Flowers' girl lol It's probably that music "nerd" in me that won't let someone say "you're wrong, the song isn't about that and is actually about this". Got me all...

Yes - that's where the disconnect and argument is. I loved the Killers when I was younger. I own most of their albums. Again, I don't have a problem with the team and fans enjoying the song - singing and dancing to it. It doesn't have to make sense. It's catchy and pumps people up. But to say steadfast that the song *isn't* about "someone banging your chick" as OP put it and is only about "reaching your ultimate destiny" is just factually incorrect. Is there other messages in the song - such as getting past it? Yes. But the lyrical content of 75% of the song is about that and Brandon Flowers himself has said that's what it's about and getting cheated on was the sole reason he wrote the song. Even if you argue it's about "looking at the brightside" and overcoming someone "banging your chick" - it's still about someone "banging your chick". Again, go nuts. If fans and the team like it as an anthem, cool. But it is funny when you consider the lyrical content, inspiration for the song, and general interpretation of the meaning. Which is all OP and I were saying.

I'm sure if we don't make it to the Super Bowl - the board will be saying Sean McDermott should be fired. And just like every year, it's extremely unlikely Pegula would pull the trigger.

It's an awesome song. I like it and clearly the Bills and the fanbase too. But the message of the song is clearly about infidelity and paranoia. To argue that it has nothing to do with that is just factually wrong.

My dude - google the song meaning. Or look at the Wikipedia for the song itself: "Lyrically, "Mr. Brightside" depicts a true story of Flowers' jealousy and paranoia when he walked into a bar in Las Vegas and found his girlfriend cheating on him. "I was asleep and I knew something was wrong," he said. "I have these instincts. I went to the Crown and Anchor, a bar in Vegas, and my girlfriend was there with another guy."

.... what? I guess if you take one line and ignore literally everything else: "Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine Gotta, gotta be down, because I want it all It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick And it's all in my head, but she's touching his Chest now, he takes off her Dress now, let me go And I just can't look, it's killing me They're taking control Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside I'm coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine Gotta, gotta be down, because I want it all It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick And it's all in my head, but she's touching his Chest now, he takes off her Dress now, let me go 'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me They're taking control Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies, choking on your alibis But it's just the price I pay, destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes, 'cause I'm Mr. Brightside I never... I never... I never... I never..." Look, it's a good song. It's a fun song. Sing it, have a good time. But to say it's about "destiny" would be to ignore 85% of the song.

Needs aren't just what we need to improve on what we have this year. It's also who we retain and who we don't. And who we cut for cap space. Free Agents include: CB Rasul Douglas WR Amari Cooper WR Mack Hollins S Damar Hamlin DT Austin Johnson DE Dawuane Smoot DE Casey Toohill RB Ty Johnson FB Reggie Gilliam So we're either going to need to bring back Douglas or find another Starting Caliber Outside CB. Same with Cooper. We'd need another stud to go along with Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, and Curtis Samuel or we're going to be back where we were before we traded for him. I'd imagine this will be Von Miller's last year. In conjunction with Dawuane Smoot and Casey Toohill being Free Agents - we'll need to get at least a couple DE's in here to go along with Greg Rousseau, AJ Epenesa, and Javon Solomon. With Austin Johnson being a Free Agent and Daquan Jones underperforming, 1-Tech DT is also going to be a need.

It's that or it's just him talking about his dreams of it happening out of paranoia and jealousy. Either way, it's a bit of an odd song to be an anthem. But hey, if everyone's enjoying - awesome.

Yeah, they're really pumped and belting out the lyrics to a song about being a cu-k 😆

I'd set it to this:

The funniest thing to me about the "Mr. Brightside" thing is i'd bet a lot of the team, being so young, thinks of that song like an 'Oldie'.

They're all good. I'm partial to the Celine Dion one myself. Something about the Drum beat hitting just as he starts to take off and the crescendo of the song with the announcers just hits right.

I've been getting a kick out of these. If anyone's got other ones, post them here 😄

I think it will be. When Kincaid and Coleman return, he may not be called on as much as he was yesterday. But I think it was mainly an injury hampering him that seems to be doing much better as he's been showing quickness he wasn't before. I also think Josh (like most QB's) needs to develop trust and chemistry with a WR. And I think he hadn't developed that yet with Samuel. Again, that might have just had to do with the injury. But it seems in the past couple weeks, Josh has developed some of that trust and chemistry with Samuel.

How do you know that? It doesn't say everyone who looked into it. Just that he signed with the Chiefs. Thornton has free will and can sign to whichever Practice Squad he wants. Just him making the call doesn't guarantee we get him. And I can EASILY see a WR preferring to go to the 2 Time Super Bowl Defending Kansas City Chiefs, who have a pretty underwhelming WR core and as such has more of a chance to get playing time than he would than with our core.

Definitely want to extend both of them. But Cooper's a Free Agent after this season ends. We still have another year under contract with Shakir.

If Curtis was dealing with Turf Toe and/or hadn't gotten the trust or chemistry of Josh yet and both of those are settled - with Coleman coming on before the injury and the addition of Amari Cooper, to go along with Khalil Shakir continuing his success from the end of last year.... don't look now but this WR core can be DANGEROUS!
