[In the voice of Dusty Rhodes] Let me tell ya somethin’, baby, when you talk about hard times, you talk about them Buffalo Bills, and you talk about Brandon Beane puttin’ hard times on that wide receiver corps! Hard times is when ya got that superstar quarterback, Josh Allen, throwin’ those deep balls, but MVS—Marquez Valdes-Scantling, baby—he’s out there droppin’ passes like they’re hot potatoes in the fourth quarter! That’s hard times, daddy! And don’t get me started on Mack Hollins! Oh, Mack Hollins, he’s out there tryin’ to be the man, but instead of catchin’ passes, he’s out here runnin’ barefoot and eating spaghetti with his hands instead of gettin in the end zone, daddy! You can’t win games doin that, baby; you gotta catch that ball! Brandon Beane, he’s in the trenches, tryin’ to piece together this receiver corps, tryin’ to find that magic that’ll take them Bills to the promised land. But right now, they’re walkin’ through the valley of hard times, baby, where every drop, every misstep, every flex that don’t end in a touchdown—it’s all adding to them hard times! But lemme tell ya, the American Dream knows about hard times, and he knows they don’t last forever! Brandon Beane’s out there workin’ hard, scratchin’ and clawin’ to turn them hard times into high times, baby! The Bills Mafia’s standin’ tall, and we know, just like Dusty Rhodes, the Bills are gonna rise again, stronger, tougher, and ready to lay the smackdown on those hard times! If you will, daddy! 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriorspikes51 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) Codrington and/or Virgil could be fairly impactful due to new kickoff format Quite something that Codrington was an undrafted UFA and showed enough value to warrant moving a draft pick for Edited August 30 by Warriorspikes51 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a retired pastor, I've seen a lot of them. Here's an example: Genesis 4.

T Kelce - but he's a pretty good WR dude. Based on what? His NFL career consists of 2 receptions for 75 yards and a TD and one kickoff return for 21 yards. Let’s start fitting him for the gold jacket. Edited August 31 by BobbyC81 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 On 8/29/2024 at 12:53 AM, Sierra Foothills said: According to Wiki, he's a Buffalo Bill. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jalen_Virgil Cliff Notes version: Small school (Appalachian State). In his final season, he caught 15 passes for 226 yards (15.1 yards per reception) and one touchdown and returned 26 kickoffs for a school-record 781 yards (30.04 yards per return) and two touchdowns. Was not invited to the combine. Put up impressive numbers during his Pro Day but went undrafted. Was signed by Denver. Made the Broncos' initial 53-man roster out of training camp. On November 13, 2022, Virgil scored a 66-yard touchdown on his first career reception during a 17–10 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Last preseason on August 22, 2023, Virgil was placed on injured reserve (torn meniscus), ending his season. 2022 Highlights (includes preseason): On 8/29/2024 at 11:30 AM, Virgil said: I'm still negotiating by jersey number And somewhere @Gugny went "from 6 to 12"... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Romes Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 You can see the pressure on the knees with those cuts and that size. Not surprising he’s had a season ending meniscus tear. Those can be difficult to come back from. The surgery means you have less meniscus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two catches, 75 yards and a TD?!? Then he was injured. Let's see what he can bring. It's no joke why the Jets, Cinci, NYG and Bills all went after him this offseason.
