I have a feeling if we do go D at 27, it will be because Antonio Johnson is still there. And they'll say he was BPA. Which is probably all true. But man...

I dont disagree with you philosophically. That is what every team SHOULD do. Just saying, they dont. And expecting them to doesnt give us much conversation here. Unless you can tell me who you think the BPA at 27 will be. And if you are fine taking a RB, CB, TE there if so. You mean Kalil Mack. Donald wasnt on anyones radar as BPA that draft or he wouldve gone at #2 overall.

Pollard didnt do much better over that same window, but we know he's a feature back. Sounds like a team issue that was going through some challenges. Which we know they were. Throwing out a single vague stat that the whole team plays into doesnt tell us much. Look at the whole body of work and when he was most effective. Short yardage and/or goal line situations. Where have the Bills struggled?

Except we dont, and no team really does. Especially at 27 (or really outside of the top 10), where it starts getting so washy that who can say who is the better player available. BPA at need is what we'll do. All I can hope is that it is at OL, and not DB or RB. The league is just so off of RBs nowadays, even a good one isnt worth the 1st round pick where you can get a 5th year option on a much more important position.

That is certainly one, single stat to focus on. Comparing him to a worn down Zeke Elliot... Zeke: 6' 225lbs, Singletary 5'7" 205lbs, and the difference in strength shows at the goal line. Zeke in 2022: 12 TDs, Singletary 5 TDs Zeke in 2022: 0 Fumbles and 0 Lost, Singletary: 3 Fumbles, 3 Lost Zeke: 52 First Downs, Singletary: 42 First Downs I think one of these guys is the better compliment to Cook. And this isnt trying to knock, or disparage Singletary. We could definitely do worse than bringing him back this year, and I'd welcome it. Just saying...

No, I'm up for one (or more) of Rousseau, Basham, Epenesa stepping it up. Most likely Rousseau. And, believe it or not, maybe even Epenesa (who played better and had more QB pressures than folks want to give him credit for, but still has a ways to go).

And that can still come with drafting a couple of IOL early (because there is no one left in FA after Powers signed with Denver). But we have no power back right now, and word is Beane is looking for one. So let's do both.

Bring me Zeke on the cheap. We just need someone for when we get inside the 5 yard line and stall. And Zeke is still a powerhouse that knows how to find the endzone in short yardage. Regardless of his best days being behind him, he was still tied for THIRD most TDs from a RB last year. While on a passing offense. He had 12, which is exactly Josh (7) and Singletary (5) combined.

McCorkle tho.

Defending the first comment by pointing out his best year was with Dak is certainly a choice....

Tell me our better option for when we get inside the 5 yard line and absolutely stall. Dude isnt what he used to be, but he's a powerhouse who knows how to get in the end zone. That's all that matters.

Now tell me about Poyer and Hyde's first few years in the league. Heck, do Poyer's first FOUR years in the league when he couldnt crack the starting lineup of the Cleveland Browns, even when they went 4-28 over his last 2 years. Hamlin should be the backup this year, to learn behind Poyer and Hyde. But for a 2nd year guy last year, I thought he played as well as could be expected and where he should be in his development. Johnson on the other hand, needs to be straight up cut. That was his 4th season and it was BRUTAL.

And you sound like, well... ScottLaw

And YOU didnt even do THAT much in your post!

Now trade for Jeudy, sign Zeke, and LETS GOOOOOO

Ha! Honestly, I dont think Beane even saw it before the Harty signing. McKenzie was smart enough to not tag anyone in the tweet, so it probably didnt hit Beane's radar. But could be. I did think it was a bold (dumb) move to call out your GM in the middle of a very busy, stressful time for GMs. Even if Beane did see it, I'm sure he didnt give it much more reaction than the eyeroll and huff most of us did.

Yeah, the Jets are stacked. Of course, sucking so bad you get 20 picks in the top 80 across multiple years certainly helps. Not like the GM had to do anything special to acquire guys like Sauce. They were just payoffs of his previously bad decisions. Same thing happened with the Bengals and they just saw their first mass exodus, and they havent even paid Burrow or Chase yet. So... 🤷‍♂️ I do think, with Allen and Burrow, the Bills and Bengals are setup for far greater long term consistent success than the Jets trying to get one good year out of Rodgers before it all falls apart.

If you dig around in the comments and threads, he goes on to say he had his best years under Dak.

There could not be a more fitting end to perfectly encapsulate McKenzie's time here, than him popping off on twitter for Beane to "do something" immediately followed by Beane signing his replacement and cutting him. 🤣 All the best to Lil Dirty.

I bagged on him enough while he was on the team, so I'll just wish him the best going forward. Going to the Giants makes sense for both sides. Onward and upward!

I dont want to start a whole thread about Cole Beasley and his tweeting because, well, we all know why. But the Allen disrespect here...

Maybe but I doubt it. I think Beane always had him valued around this number, which is what offended Jordan (and mostly Rachel) last year. Then they hit the market and came back and took the lower offer. I think Beane always had him at about $6-7M and that is where he should be given his age.

Well I had the terms a little off, but nailed the numbers! And for my prize, I'm taking the rest of the day off from work (because I have no more meetings scheduled today).

GREAT call on Roseanne. That original run was such a great show. Amazing writing room (RIP Norm MacDonald).

Seinfeld The Office It's Always Sunny Cheers There are a lot of other good/great ones I love, but those are the 4 top that I think had the most historic impact as well. Honorable Mentions: 30 Rock Parks & Rec The Good Place Brooklyn 99 Community Frazier And all the other great ones listed in this thread. edit: this one doesnt deserve to be on the Mount, but The Last Man on Earth was great and really hitting it's stride when they pulled the plug on that one. I believe it is on Hulu. If anyone is looking for something new to watch. Will Forte is so good in it.
