Everyone's favorite offseason discussion: How do you reeeally feel about vaccines?

I think there is more debate to be had here around the interpretation of the rules and criteria than there is over which players we'd choose. It's almost all down to Moulds TO Lee Evans Mario Shobel Kyle Now it's just a matter of what the meaning of the word "is" is...

You kinda argued against your own logic. Moulds was in combat/playoffs his first few seasons but then spent 6 seasons in the peaceful drought. Does he not count as a combat veteran?

Moulds doesnt count. Sorry to all the wishful thinkers (I want to choose him too). from his wiki: Tough to be a "drought era player" AND hold playoff records. 🤷‍♂️ TO Mario If it's pure Bills then Lee Evans and Schobel.

Slightly related, speaking of the days of good ol porno magazines... Back in the 90s when I was in High School, well before internet porn, and we had old playboys/penthouse/hustlers laying around, we would play something we called "Gifts From Above". We would roll up a magazine and put a rubber band around it, then drive by the middle school bus stop and pelt the kids with all these tubes of destruction. They'd be all pissed off from being attacked, but then as we were driving off, we'd see them unroll a tube, figure out what they were, and then start celebrating and high-fiving. Good times.

Expectation: 11 wins. Win the AFC East. Win at least 1 playoff game. Worst case: 9-10 wins, wild card. Still win 1 playoff game once we get in. I dont see anything less than that. We still have Josh. We still own the Division. We have a decent schedule this year.

Fair enough. I dont think it moves the needle much for the Dolphins, and I dont think he'd even see the field much in Buffalo. Agreed that no one needs to worry about the Dolphins.

But they didnt. And we did. Even worse really. It was all theirs, and they dropped it.

I'm pretty sure the travel was just an excuse. Plenty of other teams traveled to London, none of them complained about jet lag. Let alone used it as an excuse for the next 2 weeks as well. "Travel" was just used as a cover for "poor coaching". I mean the NBA is pretty much at an all time high. Franchises are worth a ton. Theyre raking in $$$ from foreign markets. The game is fun to watch and they have a lot of stars with very few players getting into trouble (certainly not at NFL levels). Maybe some old guys miss the days of tackle basketball from the 80s. But not many. If you told Goodell what he is doing is going the way of the NBA, that would only encourage him.

And that 1 win came from the sun. Not the Dolphins team.

Yards dont mean squat. Points and wins are what matters. And over the last handful of years the Dolphins only have 1 win over us, and it took them harnessing the power of the SUN to beat us. For all the flack I've given McD, he's proven he has Tua figured out. Take away his first option and he's toast. He's "ok" at getting the ball out to weapons who can YAC. He's not a good field general. Milano will end him this year.

Are you guys saying old, broken down OBJ is the type of signing you wanted to see? Yeah. "Almost" beat us out. But didnt. And are like 1-9 against us over the last few years. And most of those were blowouts by the Bills. Maybe this is their year. But until they prove otherwise, they are our little kids and Josh is their daddy.

Still Tua throwing the ball, so not worried in the least. At least this will give the talking heads the ammo needed to over-hype the Dolphins, YET AGAIN!

Sure why not I guess?

Liked him coming out of college, and some years here in Atlanta. Good AJ Klein vet depth replacement.

Couldnt happen to a better (worse?) person. Good for him. Scumbag.

The main difference is Terry fancied himself a "hockey guy" who knew a lot of hockey people and proactively bought the Sabres so he could spend his retirement being an active/meddling owner. Whereas with the Bills and the NFL, they were kinda pushed into the purchase and quickly realized how in over their heads they were, and were willing to delegate GM and HC searches to outside consultants, and then take a hands-off approach to running the team's football operations. Not sure that's even an issue at this point. It certainly wouldnt fix the brain damage she sustained. And she may not be strong enough to handle it.

I think we can get him back on a Milano/Oliver/White type of contract where they make pretty good money, but it's a very team friendly deal. I havent thought far enough ahead to know what those numbers might look like, but Beane has done a good job of getting our guys to re-sign at reasonable prices. Rousseau would seem like he's in that group considering he has been good but not great.

Interesting. Moats was pick #178 to Solomon's #168. Honestly, if Solomon has the same type of career/contribution as Moats, I'd be happy with that. Even better if he becomes the next Milano, but that's probably not fair. Moats wasnt a superstar, but he was a consistent, reliable contributor who would make a play or two when needed. We could certainly do worse at this spot.

Not even trying to be cute or sarcastic or call you out individually. Just giving some perspective on expectations. I think we all agree we'd love every pick to be a superstar, especially our 1st rounders. And Beane needs to start hitting more homeruns than singles and doubles. But being good and consistently picking in the 25-30 range is a much different life than picking in the 7-12 range like we were all used to for so many years. The Edge guys from 2021: #12 - Micah Parsons #18 - Jaelan Phillips #21 - Kwity Paye #28 - Payton Turner #30 - Greg Rousseau #31 - Odafe Oweh #32 - Joe Tryon-Shoyinka Outside of Micah Parsons, I'd argue Groot is the best of that bunch. And even AJE could compete for a spot at the top of that group. Groot is a solid starter that is still improving. Hopefully that keeps going. AND we wont have to pay him the contract Parsons is about to get.

I volunteer as tribute!

The #30 overall is a better version than the #54 overall selection, but not as good as the guys selected in the Top 10. shocked pikachu face

I'm excited to see what Bobby Babich does as DC, and even more excited to see what he and McD can do with a player like Bishop.

Nice additions
