They'll put him on Worthy. 🤪

Josh Allen at 0:36:

Do the Falcons draft a QB here just to be safe?

I was venting after sitting through four hours of that overly-dragged-out spectacle, just to see him follow up trading with the perennial team-to-beat by not even giving us one shiny new thing to be happy about. Obviously, it shouldn't (and clearly didn't) actually factor into his decisions. Still, somebody in the war room, even Beane himself, had to acknowledge that fans were really going to hate him after that (for the night, anyway.) Now, we (fans) get to see what he does with it. The results, which won't be seen for a while, are all that really matter. In the moment, at 12-something in the morning, it was a hard pill to swallow.

Lighten up kids; it was a joke. (As was "kids" here, before anyone takes it personally.)

Beating the Bills in the playoffs and winning Super Bowls, that's what the Chiefs do. Hard not to care about those. 😉

Then, get out of the Bills thread. Literally, every other thread is about the NHL. This board is about the NHL. There's one thread for people who also like the NFL, and you feel the need to come in and s**t on it and them? Thanks, I wasn't happy with Beane, but now he doesn't seem so bad.

Literally don't give two s**ts about the little bit of politics that happened a few years back. Hasn't crossed my mind once in a very long time.

Wow, that's just a d**k move to the fans.

Wow, that somehow makes it feel that much worse.

I didn't necessarily want Worthy, but I definitely did not want the Chiefs to get the fastest WR out there.

So, basically turned a fourth into a third to give KC control of the board when they need WR, too?

WTF?

Mitchell? McConkey? Worthy? ... trade down?

Well, that's the top four receivers off the board. The first three weren't happening, but #23 seems like it could have been reached. What will Beane do now?

I sooooo wanted that Islanders' EN own goal to go in. Following up two goals in nine seconds with that would have put it in the same company as the three-SH-goal Bruins power play a few (er, 14) years ago (Carolina was the victim there.)

Mike Edwards coming Buffalo. That fills one safety slot.

Interesting theories ... but no. Never! 😝 Back on topic ... Poyer to sign with the Dolphins. So, yeah, that sucks.

😆 If it helps, its origin has nothing to do with cars or their pans. Though, you are correct that it also has nothing to do with carpe diem (though, I like the saying.)

Bills (will) sign Nicholas Morrow (LB) from the Eagles. He was the defensive play caller ("green dot") from midway through the season. Edit: forgot nobody is actually signed yet.

In the rink's cold gleam, where the Sabres took the stage, The Kings met their match, in a zero-sum cage. Ukko-Pekka stood tall, a wall in the net, His fourth season shutout, the best one yet. Rookie Zack Benson, with grace on his skates, Scored while falling, sealing the Kings' fates. Jordan Greenway, with vigor and might, Struck twice, assisted once, in the night's light. The scoreboard told tales of a 7-0 game, A victory so sweet, it could never be tame. Buffalo roared, their spirits alight, For one glorious game, everything was right. (written by GPT-4)

The only thing that I would counter with is that the Chiefs weren't the best team, in general, this year. They struggled, too. In the playoffs, they managed to stay close enough that they could claw back in games, and their QB/Coach truly have the mindset of "we're never out of it." It's an amazing characteristic, reinforced by success. However, it's not 1/0 situation. It gives their chance of winning a boost compared to other teams of similar or even high capability, but the luck factor will always play some role. They play the same four games over-and-over (groundhogs day, but without the memory), and they would certainly win the Super Bowl most times, but far from every time. For example, that punt off the back 49ers player's leg doesn't happen every time. Jones doesn't interrupt Allen's throw every time, and sometimes the Bills hold on after that. Brady didn't win every year, and Reid/Mahomes lost the Bengals two years ago. They have a big edge, but nothing is perfect. I would give the Chiefs the best odds next year, but I'll always take the field versus any single team, even theirs. Now, as to our chances of being the ones to stop them? Let's see how the offseason unfolds.

Just figured out what the Super Bowl logo conspiracy was really about. Everyone thought it was Ravens and 49ers colors, but it actually was Andy Reid covered in purple Gatorade.

Well, for the first time, we can say that the Josh-led Bills lost to the Super Bowl Champions. Previously, they lost to somebody who lost to somebody ... It's kinda like being second-best.
