If we can do a little better in vertical passing game and sure up secondary we should be good trying to outscore cinci is what scares me

Sure was! The game that made him famous before the game and tweet that made him infamous.

Speculation is that Buffalo could get the 2029 draft. Denver was in the running for the 2027 draft, which more likely means they will get the 2028 draft.

Was going to say this one. 2014, the Bacarri Rambo game. Jordy Nelson dropped a sure-fire touchdown and we sacked Rogers later that drive. That was my first-ever regular season home game at the Ralph and it was a blast. Here’s one from that same season - Bills/Bears Week 1, 2014. Fred Jackson has a monster run/stiff arm in overtime to set up the game-winning field goal.

Gotta go with a game I made it to Buffalo. There was a game years ago we played Philly at home. Close game, came down to the end and Bills forced Philly offside so they didn’t have to punt the ball back. Stadium was loud as *****!

Was this the “Why So Serious” game?

Oh yeah, Erie County is littered with flea bag motels. I’m sure the draftniks from Sheboygan will love it.

I have nothing to contribute to this thread, other than that those years were rough.

My counter is that the offense wasn't good enough in the playoffs last, so it stands to reason it won't be enough this year, given what little Beane has changed (let's assume that, yes, some players will improve but others will disappoint or get injured, as happens most every year). Last year, it got bailed out by the defense against Baltimore and failed on its final drive with the game on the line. In other words, does it matter that the offense didn't turn the ball over and scored lots of points if they keep losing in the playoffs? We're so used to blaming the defense that we forget that Diggs dropped that pass, Bass missed that field goal, Dawkins missed that block, Kincaid didn't make that kick, and pretty much no one showed up against the Bengals. The facts are plain: The offense hasn't been good enough.

Every time a thread like this comes up this is the first game I think of. Th results of that season notwithstanding, the feeling in the crowd for that opener was one of the best I remember being a part of.

This YouTuber did the Bit o Paris down the Boulevard as well, seems like a good place to stick Deshawn Watson

Absolutely, let’s be civil. I don’t think our offense is going to be any worse than last season based on the changes made. Only thing on paper now that could negatively affect things is if Cook sits out, but I don’t see that happening. Of course, you can’t predict injuries and such. I am intrigued by the changes on D. I think we’ll be stronger up front, about the same at LB, and the DBs are going to be a battle. Yep, agree on all counts. Can’t wait for camp to start.

It is, but even the best QBs, which Josh is, need good skill position players. If our defense turns out that way that will be great. This type of argument goes round and round in circles tho. “More weapons will help more.” “No a better defense will help more” I fall more on the former argument because I trust Josh to get more out of talent than our coaches. But quite simply we needed improvement on both sides of the ball. The defense got overhauled this year, hopefully we have enough on offense too.

Unless Josh gets hurt, I don't think we'll be worse than last season. Depending on the performance of the FAs and draft picks, and there are question marks around all of them, we might be better. I'm hoping Brady continues to improve as an OC, particularly in scheming a downfield passing attack. In other words, I have no special intuition or expectation for this season, but - as always - I hope for the miracle.

I am hoping so... but I am interested in SVP to see if he gets more time this year...

It would not surprise me at all if one of the "bubble" players end up on the IR with a hamstring (or something similar) to start the season.

The only N that counts is Super Bowl wins, as Josh Allen is always saying, and that N=0. Great that Hollins and Shakir exceeded expectations last year, not so great that Coleman and Kincaid did not. I'm sure this year, too, some players will step up on offense and some will not. I'm hopeful--I'm always hopeful--that this year is the year they go all the way. Could happen. But I think Beane's improvements on defense won't come to full fruition until next year, and I don't think his tweaks on offense amount to more than treading water. Note: This is about when the ad hominen attacks usually begin. Let's try to keep it civil, ok?

'Wry wit'...try saying that three times quickly. 🤔 * And, we're on to the veterinarians. 😁 All I can picture is Squiggy (from 'Laverne and Shirley') saying "unclean...unclean..."

I don't agree with the prior Pope's stance on immigration. I think it is nice to want to help migrants but they went about it the wrong way. By opening the border to EVERYONE they allowed for human trafficking and drugs which is EVIL

Jesus christ.......

BYOB - Bring your own Bugspray LOL

Greatest, best, most beautiful NFL draft ever. 🤨 Instead of just one horse's ass hogging the event, there's likely to be two.

What is your counter to the Bills had a very successful offense? They scored points, a lot of them and did not turn it over. Even more than many of those Brady teams. When Brady had his best weapons they won nothing with Welker and Moss they did not win. What did they have in 2001-2004?

I couldn't agree more that networking in any industry is indeed important BUT... it's still funny to me that a 20-something athlete would go down to the bar to make a good impression... seeing as alcohol isn't a performance enhancing drug and all the other possible negative connotations...
