  1. The last time buffalo played cleveland, mayfield (who is WAY better than what the homers here believe) outplayed Josh and Cleveland won.
  2. It happened in the playoff game vs the Colts, but he also had his ankle literally broken on the play, so the premise of the post you’re responding to is BS. Oh jeez. He literally broke his ankle on the play. The player who doesn’t fumble on a play like that is a truly rare breed. Please add context to posts like this.
  3. Word to the wise: always trust the (very) small circle of The Mighty Boosh fans!
  4. Check out Marangi’s completion percentage in 1976! https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MaraGa00.htm
  5. Collins was terrible in 1997 and made it clear that he was a bust. Yup, me too. Definitely my worst take. Regardless of his coaching chops/record, I didn’t realize how much of a buffon he was and how lazy he had gotten.
  6. Omg — that is definitely the worst take ever!! I can’t think of a worse QB than Marangi. He was worse than Peterman because he got more playing time. It was PAINFUL watching him.
  7. Well, I called him (but I was off by 30 slots!):
  8. I just think they need more speed on the outside in a big, big way. And another CB who projects better than Levi. As I said elsewhere, they have have 5 first-round d-line picks (and now 2 second rounders). It’s a bit much in a league where cbs are the most important players in terms of the metrics.
  9. I have issues with the pick ... but Basham was arguably the best player on the board regardless of position. He was my guess for who the bills would pick at 30.
  10. Only reason that worked in the super bowl is because both KC LTs were down. Against teams with good pass rushes when kc’s LTs were healthy, the line was basically fine.
  11. I was kidding! I think Jones will be good.
  12. Actually, you do, and I don't think it's good enough. 5.04 even with a stiff ocean breeze at his back would be my guess. Christ. That's just ... vanity.
  13. Dallas HAS to get a corner. They were fools not to take one in the first, in my opinion. All those high-pick LBs they have helped produce the worst Cowboys defense in team history. Their corners couldn't cover.
  14. Alabama doesn't actually play a cupcake schedule. I expect Jones will be good. I fully agree. Athleticism is nice, but it's not as if has a bad arm. It's certainly good enough, and he can make all the throws. This isn't Christian Ponder we're talking about. I feel like that's the unstated comp here and it's just wrong.
  15. The thing about the Raiders is that they posted 21 total sacks last year and the defense was TERRIBLE (31st in average points per drive allowed). A number as low as 21 is really difficult to achieve. And it got worse as time went on: in their final seven games, they gave up 35, 43, 28, 44, 30, 26, and 31 points.
  16. @AKC -- Makes me think of you and your old arguments about d-line equity!
  17. Gregory Rousseau (Bills) Jerry Hughes (Indy) Vernon Butler (Carolina) Star Lotulelei (Carolina) Ed Oliver (Bills) That's a helluva lot of first rounders on the d-line. There are no first rounders on the o-line.
  18. I think you can probably find a decent scheme-specific safety with upside (for our system specifically) in the fifth. Hyde was a 4th rounder and Poyer a seventh rounder, after all. But they can't ignore the position entirely. Safeties are the bread and butter players of ST too.
  19. Was wondering about your view given that he's a Cane. Looking at the stats, the Canes' defense was good that year (23rd in points per game given up) but the offense was pretty bad (90th in points per game). He was the top dog on that defense, it appears.
  20. Yeah, it can be done, but I feel like that'll leave the draft pick cupboard pretty bare. This is a team with only 4 safeties, and they need another TE, a WR burner, and obviously a CB. If we do move up, I think it'll be pretty minor. As for trading next year's picks, the Bills didn't really lose anyone, so they aren't going to be getting any comp picks. They cut John Brown, so they won't get a return on him. Dean Marlowe is really the only guy, but that's compensated for (in spades) by the Sanders signing.
  21. I want either a good corner (I'm willing to move up for that) or game-breaking offensive speed on the edge/slot. Either of those and I'm good. Don't waste picks on o-line/d-line at this point; the Bills have ridiculous depth on both units now. The other issue is safety; there are only four on the roster, and safeties tend to get injured.
  22. Just don't think that's enough to move up significantly in the second. I don't expect the good remaining corners to last past 45 or so. The Bills offensive line is actually good overall. I feel like people don't watch other teams. Just about every team in the league has o-line problems. The Bills' group is currently deep with competent players. For instance, Boettger is certifiably decent.
  23. I worry we don't have the ammunition. We have a late third rounder, no comps, and no fourth rounder.
  24. There is an effective vaccine that has been given to hundreds of millions of people with no deaths (Moderna/Pfizer). They can get vaccinated.
