DT and CB check... 2X and 3X

Reserve Lineman check (got a few contracts up this year)

Cost Controlled WR with an upside... check.

I forgot about the blocking TE for special teams to replace Quintin Morris who BTW is an unsigned FA

I like this draft

I usually sign him in Madden to a 4 x 6m deal and him and JA17 really connect.

I play a few games but sim most of the games to see how my roster building stands up.

Go get him Mr Beane
Allen didn’t make Claypool any better. So I think there’s a little more than just that.

You do realize that Claypool never made the team and never got to work with JA17.

He was working with the 2nd and 3rd string and couldn't run a proper route tree to save his life/career

He didn't even make it out of camp before he was cut

Farmers Eagles are #1

The Bills are #4

The Fins are caught in a tuna net at #22

That’s what I tried to tell you when the bills picked him up. But you said the same thing, hoping Allen would make him better. You definitely excited to see a big WR with Allen.

I think you said you were hoping to resurrect his career. Something along those lines

I was at first but that faded rapidly.

I have friends that go to St John Fisher for TC and one of them made a video of CC running some routes and all I have to say is he couldn't beat me in coverage



Ok so I am exaggerating a bit but you get the point

Another of those "looks like Tarzan plays like Jane" types

It is expected that Elijah Moore will sign with the Bills today.

He must be over the moon thinking about having JA17 as his QB

Here are all the scrubs he played with in his first 4 years

Zach Wilson (New York Jets)
Mike White (New York Jets)
Joe Flacco (Cleveland Browns)
Deshaun Watson (Cleveland Browns)
Dorian Thompson-Robinson (Cleveland Browns)
P.J. Walker (Cleveland Browns)
Jeff Driskel (Cleveland Browns)
Jameis Winston (Cleveland Browns)
Bailey Zappe (Cleveland Browns)

Moores deal is 1 year worth up to 5m

Skarecrow does a good breakdown of Moores work with video analysis

Lets just say he is fast in and out of breaks

In the latest NFL money grab they(NFL) are inventing a new uniform for each team.

Remember the color rush? color blind NFL fans were overjoyed when the Bills took the field in all Red and the Jets wore all Green

These new uni's will include things that make a city unique or even cultural influences.

I think the Bills new logo for this jersey should be a drunken fan jumping off an RV onto a flaming table

What could be more culturally relevant?

Just bring back the red helmet from the 90's already.

Josh has worn it in the Blue vs White inter squad scrimmages.

Why is it that all I can think of when I hear about this idea is the horrific NHL sublimated jerseys from the mid 90's?

Agree 100%...bring back the SB era uni's as a throwback. I don't know why they haven't done this already. It seems every other team has had multiple throwbacks and the only one we keep going back to is the AFL uni. Maybe it's superstition? They'll do the AFL ones because we won a championship in them, and won't do the 90's unis because we lost in them. Maybe it's because that era's jersey isn't different enough from the current one to entice fans to buy another one. Whatever the reason, get over it and give the fans what we want already!
