    Referring to Kelvin Benjamin as a weapon is a very generous assessment of his time in Buffalo and frankly the vast majority of his career.

    I remember people saying we could have had Benjamin without giving up an additional 1st like we did with Sammy. So wasn't he really good his first couple years with Carolina? Or am I thinking of Deandre Hopkins with the Texans?

    The dichotomy of Josh Allen.

     

    Looks awesome standing back there. Stands tall, keeps eyes downfield, never afraid to get hit, will throw at any point...

     

    ...but he just isn't making the reads. We may have have to just get some burners at WR and have them run posts, sluggos, and 9's. Then he can just look deep. Be a "chunk play" offense if we have to. We have to make it work with this kid.

     

    Or maybe he learns how to read a defense. If that happens, he could be scary (good).

    Lol where are you guys getting this? He's barely fricking played yet.

    Highly drafted QBs (1st or second rounds) who didn't start right away and were eased in: Carson Palmer, Philip Rivers, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, Jared Goff, Eli Manning, Jimmy Garrapolo, Alex Smith, Brady Quinn, Paxton Lynch, Daunte Culpepper, and Donovan McNabb. 

     

    On the other side, here are recent QBs who started from day 1: Sam Bradford, Matthew Stafford, Russell Wilson, Ben Roethlisberger, Cam Newton, David Carr, Derek Carr, Carson Wentz, Jameis Winston, Andrew Luck, Payton Manning, Joe Flacco, Matt Ryan, RG III, Brandon Weeden, Blaine Gabbert, Tim Couch, Mark Sanchez, Andy Dalton, and Ryan Tannehill. 

     

    (DeShaun Watson, Blake Bortles, Christian Ponder, Mitchell Trubisky, and Marcus Mariota only sat for a small number of games before being taking the reins.)  

     

    What's the best path? My own two cents: I think the Bills should sit Allen given how awful the line and the receivers are. Getting beaten to a pulp and putting up negligible numbers out of the gate on the path to a very bad season won't do him any favors. Peterman, who is a much lesser talent, plays the sort of game that mitigates these massive weaknesses. 

    I still don't agree with the notion that our WRs are awful. Kelvin, Zay, Kerley, Clay (Receiving TE), Reilly, Ray Ray Mcloud, Coleman. A lot of if's there, but we could have 5 Randy Mosses and it won't matter much because of the oline

    My Sundays in the fall used to be centered around the NFL. I'd wake up, watch the pregame show. Drive to the bar. Watch the Bills. Drive home. Watch whatever late afternoon game I could get on local TV, or RedZone. Watch the Sunday Night game. Then usually watch MNF. 

     

    Now, I'm just as passionate about The Bills as I've ever been. Go out to the bar, watch every game. New Year's Eve was probably the best day of my year last year. Pumped for this season. But I can count on one hand the number of non Bills games I watched last year. If anything, I'd rather watch a college game if I have no direct rooting interest. 

     

    I don't give a **** about the anthem protests. While I'm not the biggest fan of the new rule changes, it hasn't turned me off completely to the NFL. I just find myself less enthused to watch NFL football than I used to be. Even my fantasy players I usually just check the stats online. Anybody else feel this way?

    It's ONLY my love for the Bills, sparked as a 5 or so yr old when I--unlike everyone else I was watching with--wanted the team currently losing the Super Bowl (Bills down to Cowboys) to win. I'm more removed from the game emotionally, but only as it pertains to the other teams and the NFL as a whole (excluding the Bills). Feel the same way about the Sabres.

    Here's something sad .... Zay Jones played in 3 more games than Britt last year and only had 60 more receiving yards.

    Yikes. What a bad rookie year and then of course the offseason incident. I didn't think he'd play football again when I saw that video. Crazy, because I loved what I saw of him in college. Thought he could be dominant. 

     

    Let's just hope year 2 is the opposite of year 1 and we all forget about it asap.

    Yeah, the guys was impressive and showed so much promise that we really have a lot to be excited about.  I think Beane and McDermott are absolutely spot on in letting him grow, build his skills and confidence, develop chemistry with his receivers, and then maybe get him a big time stud No. 1 receiver FA or next draft around.  I wouldn't even be upset if they took their time and Josh Allen didn't become the starter until later this year or even next year. 

     

    Excited about our QB?  Wow, that's a change and I'm loving it!

    Next draft needs to focus on more O-line talent. Just keep building up that wall around Josh.

    How could they possibly like the trade?

    A 15th overall pick going into only the third year of his affordable rookie contract and who has shown promise when healthy....traded for a CONDITIONAL 7th round pick two years from now. 

    What's to like?

    15th overall?? Wow. Don't remember him. Interesting.

    People make mistakes. Especially in sports talk radio. You won't get any better without XM.

     

    If this is bothering you I'd just cancel. The vinateri kicks did have a lot going on. I do believe they had people who weren't players originally helping clear the spot, then you also had white standing their trying to kick snow back on the spot they were clearing off.

     

    Honestly, at this point, anyone who says fake news comes across as an idiot.

     

    I also don't have XM and would never pay for it. But if little mistakes like this bother you enough then cancel it. You're not enjoying the product enough.

     

     

    And people act like this term has been around forever. Obviously propaganda has been around forever just about, but this term started very soon after Nov. 2016. If anyone wants a little insight check online impressions that correspond to the online impressions made by the term 'fake news.' It wasn't coined by Trump, and it wasn't a direct response to anything Trump has said/done. It was introduced into mainstream in order to cover up something else.

    Can someone explain what an "Instagram model" does beside post in swimsuits on Instagram?  Can they make $ doing it beyond ensnaring a rich NFL football player.  With all the free sex porn crap on the web who cares about Instagram models, i just dont get it.

    That is all they do, but the views on their page(s) and eyeballs on their asses and everything else is what advertising companies look for. Even though anyone can view whatever they want for free like you said, a huge amount of people are still going to look. And that view = potential money to an advertiser. I think it's the most ridiculous 'occupation' in the world, but unless people stop 'following' and 'liking' these people and their social media pages, it won't change. It's embarrassing imo.

    What Simms had to say all sounds good to me. He said Allen is supposedly 'wowwing everyone on all sorts of levels'. If thats true then we all are in store for one helluva player.

    Just like everyone I can't wait for the season to start & to see what this team looks like.

     

    One thing that made me facepalm a bit tho with the podcast is the one guy bringing up the stupid tweets again. I've never really considered Allens tweets to be anything really serious, but i do hate how often these media types like to throw it out there, just in the hopes for some controversy or something.

     

    Of course after Allen wins his 6th Superbowl they won't even remember those tweets.

    Anyways, thanks for sharing & GO BILLS!

    The tweet thing was so blown out of context and proportion it would be hard to believe if our media wasn't one big op-ed

    Who thinks we need to go back to red endzones to truly recapture the spirit of the Bills? It hasn't been the same with the plain endzones and, most recently, the blue ones with the horrible outlining.

    And while we're at it... How badly do we need to wear these?

     

     

    Make it happen, Terry and Kim. The timing would be perfect.

    Those graphics are insane! Wow.

    I'm no twitter expert but can you not delete old tweets from your account?

     

    Have we learned who outed these tweets on the eve of the draft? This whole thing seemed Belichickean.  

     

    Doesn't his agent advise him on social media? If not, he should fire his agent. 

     

    This has been badly mishandled and we are lucky that it didn't turn into a bigger media circus. 

    Not to mention it was taken completely out of context and blown out of proportion and no one seemed willing to correct public perception.

    Very interesting.  We'll see what happens.

     

    As an aside, I was talking with a buddy who is a big USC fan and he was much more down on Darnold than I expected.  Said he's your typical laid-back CA kid and while he has all of the physical ability he's also a "happy-go-lucky" kind of guy and he's not sure he has the competitive fire to lead an NFL team.  It was a perspective I hadn't heard previously; if true, NYC will eat him alive.

    Like a Leinhart 2.0 or is Darnold a significantly better prospect? I feel like Leinhart must have had ridiculous numbers with those stacked teams and had all the physical tools besides maybe a rocket arm? But he had at least a solid arm.

    GM debunked this and said absolutely Josh Rosen was considered 

     

    Have they. There was a source reporting the Allen pick since Late Feb. 

     

    maybe now that Brandon is Gone all the leaks have been eliminated. 

    One person's words doesn't debunk anything, especially when that person has to lie on a consistent basis (ie. an NFL GM esp. around draft time)

  14. I found this very interesting. If this is accurate, the Josh Allen 'racially insensitive' tweets incident was incredibly blown out of context. This is representative of how terrible most of our major media is--quoting a tv show and a rap song is VERY different than actually making racist comments. Until I watched this video I had been led to believe that he made racist tweets not that he was quoting with a buddy from mainstream culture, very possibly in a joking as well. Again if this is accurate, it's absolute absurdity and so irresponsible of media to frame it in a manner that fits today's hypersensitive social victim mentality.

    Couldn't agree more.  I'll be honest, I would have taken Rosen.  But as Beane said each of the QBs in this class had positives and negatives.  They liked Allen's positives.

     

    Some  compare this pick to EJ.  To me it's JP.  Same big arm and stuff but JP never could handle the mental aspects of the position.  Will Allen be able to?  We'll see.  But I'd say the same for all the QBs drafted this year.

    JP was starting to get it and was looking pretty darn good until Fat Vince dove into his knees.
