McD is too emotionally invested in him to cut him unfortunately.

very cool! Neat timing— I just went whale watching in Alaska and got to see over a dozen humpbacks!

He is what he is. A backup safety. Nothing more than that

He’s brutal.

I don’t think they’re cutting him

I disagree, Sir Andrew. Probably the reason other metros are building domed stadiums is because the expense is justified. Erie County is the 60th most populous county in the United States. Buffalo is the 82nd largest city. Buffalo is smaller than such "major cities" as Bakersfield and Fresno... Omaha and Corpus Christi... Buffalo has about the same population as Fort Wayne and is barely bigger than Toledo, Ohio. There were how many concerts in Highmark last year? I seriously doubt that there are any stadium-caliber performers who are going to want to come to Buffalo in December to play a concert... even if it's in a domed stadium. I'd bet that when you crunch the numbers and compare the added cost of a domed stadium versus the additional revenues possible from non-NFL events, that the numbers don't pencil out. Comparatively, the Kansas City metro area is over 2 million people. The Chiefs will get a domed stadium if that's what they want. And I'm sure these numbers are well-known to those whose business it is to know them. Bottom line, if the ROI projected favorably, it would get done. Rich people aren't going to pass over a good investment.

Suck it Chongli... what are you drinking?

There will be an incredible amount of emotion around cutting Hamlin. He's just terrible and its obvious he needs to go. He's a wonderful survival story and he turned a terrible near tragedy into an amazing positive national story and education opportunity. It's time to move on though. Bills can not afford the distraction of cutting him after the next game and in the leadup to week 1. Do it tomorrow or Tuesday. Then start working the phones and move a reserve OL for a backup safety that at least belongs in the NFL.

No love for the Bengals who absolutely throttled us? I get that they’re having problems, but that roster is way too good to overlook.

It has to be whatever WR lets us score as many points as psssible. You could put every first team all-pro defender from last year on the Bills and they would still find a way to give up 30+ points in the playoffs.

Exactly. Only people giving 100% effort are the bubble players and these are the only reason I watch them to begin with. I’ve been watching football long enough to know how meaningless the preseason is.

Again no one in their right mind cares about how the team did. It was about depth player development and keeping starters healthy. Even McD said the back ups basically sucked. Bishop sucked. Hamlin sucked. Hancock made a few plays. This game pretty much affirms what many of us have been saying for a long time. The S spot is an absolute mess. To go from Poyer and Hyde to this is awful. This is the week to say goodbye to Hamlin. Get the emotion out of it now not the week of the Baltimore game. Bring back Douglas at least until Hairston is healthy. A week one CB room of White, Benford, Jackson, Strong and Codrington is a recipe for disaster. It was still 7-0 when most of the Bears starters were out. So I think what people are saying is that it was not Bears starters 28 - Bills backups 0. Again no one cares about the score. its the play of guys like Jackson and Hamlin and the rooke DL that is very concerning.

There's not a lot of positive redeeming value to take out of tonight, especially on first watch. Sure, there are a few things I want to take a look at on the All-22 when it comes out, but for the most part this one is just going to be flushed away. I'll look at guys like Sanders, Walker, and Jackson a little closer to see how they did, but beyond that, I am not sure anything interests me to look at closer that I didn't see tonight. While the result doesn't matter to me at all, what does matter to me is the overall poor play of the secondary and Andreeson. As good of instincts as Andreeson seems to have in the run game, it is completely the opposite in the pass game. He is lost out there and the ball is constantly going over his head for big plays. He has no spacial awareness in zone coverage and that's a bit problem on a team that loves to play zone. Last year, I thought he might be a guy that could get us through a game if necessary, but the more he has played, especially in this preseason, I am getting very concerned about the depth at MLB. We have a nice player Bernard as a starter, but I am beginning to think we are nowhere at the position behind him. And the secondary play was pretty horrific to say the least. I hate to hit the panic button in preseason games because there is no game planning. But the fact is, this team by all accounts wants to run more man coverage this season. And after what I saw tonight, I am not sure we have the players to do that. Jackson was awful. Hairston is hurt and going to be running way behind in terms of reps even when he does come back. And Tre, while a nice story and a great guy, isn't someone I want lining up in man anyway. So, I am worried about the depth there, at least until Hairston is healthy and gets his legs under him and enough reps to matter. And this leads me to the Safety position..... Ugh. I have a bad feeling we are going to be longing for the days of Hyde and Poyer holding it down back there for almost a decade. Look....I am not like many on here just writing Bishop off yet. I do think there is some physical talent there, but there's already questions about his health and how much he can play. The other question is whether or not he will get it mentally and he just hasn't been on the field enough to develop that either. Hamlin is a fringe backup. Rapp is a decent player, but he has injury concerns with the way he plays. Honestly, we just don't have much at the position behind him at this point and that could be a problem. I mean, a problem to the point where I am ready to bring someone else in. But is anyone that you can bring in going to pick up the defense in 2-3 weeks enough to make a difference? I mean, are we going to be desperate enough to bring in a physically shot Poyer that at least knows the defense as depth? I don't know. But if I am Beane, I am shopping around for a Safety for sure. There are other things I am going to go back and take a look at as I mentioned, but coming out of this one, it's about MLB and Safety depth for sure.
