Albany,n.y.

I think Ballard has assembled a good roster & has hit on a good amount of picks. Unfortunately, they've never figured out how to replace Andrew Luck. The 1st year (2019) they were stuck because Luck retired too late for them to look for a QB. Since they felt they are in win now mode, they went the veteran route in 2020 with Rivers, who called it quits & put them back to square one. For 2021 Reich had too much input into the decision to trade for Wentz, it cost them their 2022 1st round pick, a bad mistake. Now it's back to the Rivers route going with Ryan at the end of his career. Their win now attitude has put them in QB hell with 5 different QBs each of the last 5 years. That's no way to win. Eventually, they're going to have to figure out a way to get a young QB in there who they can project for a decade and not go year to year hoping to squeeze 1 more productive season out of a QB on the downside of his career. I don't know if Ballard has the guts to do what Beane did in 2018, assembling enough draft capital to go all the way up to 7 from pick 21 by moving 3 other players/picks to get there. The Colts are too good to be picking high enough where they'll finish unless they get very bold or luck out like GB did with Rodgers years ago. The other option is to let Ryan go after this year & bottom out next year with a bum at QB like they did when Peyton missed the season & they were able to suck for Luck. However, the coach & GM both got fired as a result of that bad season.

I wasn't offended, I remember it was split about 50/50. Many of the people who loved Josh I didn't list because there was no reason to list a bunch because since it was around 50/50 you could easily match it as you've done here. The problem in the media was the anti-Josh crowd had the bigger mouths & became more memorable, while people like Pete Prisco, who said the following (below), were drowned out, especially by the guys at WGR: There were many on both sides. My 1st response was to my belief that there was no clear majority as most likely to bust. If you had said many people thought Josh would bust, not most likely to bust, I would have let it go, but I don't think there was a clear majority one way or another. As far as draft analysts, my favorite one, the late Dave Te'Thomas, had Josh on top in 2018. Prisco: 7. Josh Allen, QB, Wyoming Grade: A+ They get the best QB in the draft and they had to go make the move to get him. Love the trade, love the pick.

I replied to the fact you said Kiper is passe and nobody listens to Schein. That has nothing to do with my opinion of either one of them. I used them as examples of high profile personalities that had a high opinion of Josh. If you love them why did you basically say they're they're irrelevant when they both get high enough ratings to stay on the air? Questioning your statement that I quoted in this post's 1st sentence is hardly a twisted panties response when I disagreed that guys who continue to be employed for years by high profile networks are irrelevant. Guys who are passe and that nobody listens to don't remain on the air. The networks move on from them looking for higher ratings. That's a fact, not my opinion.

Mine is based on the fact that both are employed by major sports networks. Schein by both CBS sports and SiriusXM. Kiper by ESPN. They get high enough ratings to stay employed while you think that just because you don't agree with them they're irrelevant. That an opinion with no basis other than your feelings, which makes it a baseless, ridiculous opinion. Mine is based on the fact they each have enough of a following to stay on the air, internet, and employed.

Just because you don't think much of Kiper or Schein doesn't make you right. Your opinion is baseless. They wouldn't be employed if you were right. Now go back to reading clowns on the internet who live in their moms basements, because to you they're the relevant ones. I stand by my statement that the real experts. NFL scouts & GMs didn't consider him most likely to bust.

Not really. There was a split in the media. Some like Kiper & Schein loved him. Some like the ones we've posted before hated him. In the NFL front offices, there was a lot of support for Josh Allen. The Bills traded up because they had to or they would lose him to another team. No player in the top 10 in the draft is considered most likely to bust by the real experts, the NFL GMs & scouts. Sure there were some analytic stat boys living in their moms' basements who had access to internet sites who wrote anti-Josh articles, and of course the WGR clowns who weren't happy, but to compare their thoughts about the 7th overall pick in the NFL draft to opinions on an undrafted kicker is ridiculous.

You can't miss FGs with such a great holder & not get cut. 😁

That's why I'm going to NJ this weekend to see Carolina @ NY Giants.

After Denver my pool is down by 39%. Lost 148 out of 377.

Brandon, you're delusional. That may be your line to get to in Denver's thin air, but you weren't in Denver. No player in NFL history has ever kicked a ball that far in an outdoor stadium that is not in Denver, and that was only done once in Denver. So your line was a ridiculous overreach. .

Hackett called a 64 yarder "field goal range". The 2 longest kicks in NFL history are a 64 yarder in Denver & a 66 yarder indoors in Detroit last year by one of the best kickers in NFL history Justin Tucker. Hackett then doubled down & said he would do it again. The ST coach needs to tell Hackett that 64 yards is not FG range. If he has to take his shoe off & bop Hackett on the head to get his point across, he needs to do that.

IK Enemkpali. I didn't know how to spell it either, I had to look it up.

I'm old enough to remember Geno Smith with his jaw wired shut and the guy who punched him ending up in Buffalo because Rex Ryan was serious when he said he wanted to build a bully.

Geno Smith is the new Todd Collins, years on the bench and comes in and lights it up.

Kidnap him like Dan Marino in the Ace Ventura movie.

It's the whole Cleveland thing.

The Tampa Bills trade in the 2018 draft is my choice. Bills got Josh Allen, Tampa got multiple picks that they used to help them build a Super Bowl champion.

Time to pluck Josh Rosen off Cleveland's practice squad & give him another chance to prove there were 9 mistakes made on 4/26/18.

I remember on 10/4/98 the Bills played the 49ers & the Bills were getting mugged in the endzone near the end of the 1st half. The 49ers strategy worked because the Bills had to settle for a FG because they ran out of the time needed to try to go for the TD.

We lost 30%, but the Giants cost me 1 of my 2 picks. Fortunately, the Jets are who I thought they were.

Fortunately, that's the game we're getting in Albany & I'm looking forward to watching it. I'm also glad we're getting the Ravens @ Jets.

Happy Birthday, kid.

Murray has missed 2 games the last 3 seasons, Lamar has missed 7, including 5 last season. The best ability is availability.

Actually the greatest day to be a Bills fan will end up being 4/26/18, but we just didn't know it at the time.
