But the had Billy B🤷‍♂️

Id be shocked if they franchise tagged him. And I’m sorry, but this premise of saying the Bills just need to swallow whatever Cook wants and get it done is ridiculous. Maybe the Bills are only offering like 8M per, and ok, if that’s the case I get it. But with reports that the two sides are somewhat close, it sounds like we’re around the Kyren Williams deal, which is absolutely fair. If he wants more than that.. cool.. I don’t want to trade him for a pick that won’t help us this year, but if we could player for player trade him.. I’m all in on that right now.

Rousseau never really got home in college or during rookie deal. He is who we drafted.

Yeah I didnt see much from him nor am I hearing out of camp ... holy crap this guy gets it and is going to be a beast etc... , its early, but if he doesnt turn it up its not gonna end well for him

Never thought I’d ever get to see a MAGA who claimed to have “dOnE tHEiR oWn reSeArCh” in real time! WOW!! 😂😂😂 You’re arguing with a medical professional but because one of the classes he took wasn’t recent enough for your uneducated self, you disclaim him. I’m certain he’s basically saying “take immunology 101” and that he has more knowledge in his pinky than on all the conspiracy sites/twitter accounts you follow. I suppose you think since that geriatric conspiracy theory-laden creep BillsFanNC calls him a quack that you just follow along like a little sheep. This is one of the - amongst a list a mile long - most uneducated posts in PPP history.

I don't think we ever won a pre season game during the Marv Levy era... If we did, it was extremely rare. We are dooooomed. lol

George Wilson who played and started for the Bills was one of those... I would say you would need a very good understanding of football concepts in general and a strong ability to think at a very high level, as well as limited physical skills that prevent you from being a good enough WR but would allow you to be a good Safety. However you would have to have good athleticism overall even if it isn't good enough in a single area. Most players don't have that combination of traits to be able to pull that off and the ones that do usually are good enough physically that they never would have to make that switch. It's a very niche ability for a player to have and possible that coaching staffs wouldn't want to spend the time or energy trying to convert a player also.

Recall in the SB era, early 90's the Bills went 0-5 in preseason (yes 5 pre-0season games back then, 6 if your team played in College All Star game)) and they went back tot the SB again!

it is interesting. why make me search for a paper? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-025-01955-3 it's still very early and human trials have not been done but the technique could well be revolutionary. I wonder how many anti vaxers would have a clue about the meaning of this paper after reading it...there is no definitive answer as to whether it meets you definition of "immune response". if you use those words incorrectly with colleagues, they are going to think you are an idiot.

Luv ya Drac, but I'm gonna be pedantic: this is a very Clinton-esque question, so I don't know how to reply. (Meanwhile, we need more vids of you on bass. Love the pinky hammer-ons and pull offs, which are freaking hard to do...for us amateurs)

I completely agree with you on Carter. Didn’t like the pick when it happened. Definitely don’t like it now. Joe Buscaglia even floated him as a potential trade candidate. Probably for a ham sandwich, but if they feel confident in Walker’s back, plus we get Ogunjobi back in Week 7, he might just be odd man out. Landon Jackson is a compression DE and likely serves a role as he gets acclimated to the NFL with his size and power, but he’s that typical rotational 4-8 sacks a year, run stopping DE. Not sure I see a ton more beyond that. I can’t get too upset about Carter though because I friggin loved what I saw in Sanders and Walker. So if Carter is a bust but we hit on those two, all is forgiven.

So part of me is like... Really... we are having this discussion over a pre season game... cmon man... there is another part of me that had hoped that I would see some semblence of difference in the Defense... not a huge fan of Babich, I am not gonna lie... and I didnt, I saw the same old get run over, give up 3rd and long soft coverage no pass rush defense we had last year... does it mean anything... not necessarily, but that doesnt mean I wasnt looking for a WOW these guys are on to something... so no, no jumping off of bridges... but patiently waiting to see if anything has changed or we are gonna throw out the same slowly bleeding out crush your soul, thank God we have Josh defense Babich/Mc D ran off last year. Time will tell...

I think many of us would say that coincidence is not the same as correlation. This. Sure, there are times when the preseason ends up looking a lot like the regular season. How could there not be? Random, dumb luck would say it is bound to happen, but there are too many examples of how it doesn't. Preseason is just not a good predictor. This is not a zealotry against deductive process. Just the opposite - it is bad deduction to come to a conclusion based on something that often doesn't correlate.

So its clear as day that are WR have regressed since last year? Because I think they have improved, hence, they progressed since last year. BTW, we finished 19th in 2020 in 3rd down defense given up 41.6%. Last year was 44.54% given up. Both are/were bad. Last year we were at 21.6 ppg, 23.4 in 2020. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-third-down-conversion-pct?date=2021-02-08 Allen was our QB in 2019-2022, so was McDermott, so they did have the tools. Good enough to win 12-13 games but they regressed lol. Coming off a year in which we broke a franchise record for most points and they have regressed every year since 2019.... You're are trying too hard. You know who doesn't have a good roster? The Bengals which is why they have missed the playoffs 2 straight seasons. Burrow threw 43 TD's to 9 INT's and STILL didn't make the playoffs. Before you bring up that he was hurt twice....well they were 5-5 before he went down in 2023. The Bengals are 14-13 in Burrows last two seasons. Top 2 in every betting line to win the Super Bowl and we have been regressing lol. Make it make sense.

I would say that I agree here with you point for sure... if this happened in the game like cook is on the sidelines and coach says James go in there and run this... and cook said No! that would be really bad.... but that isnt what I am saying, I am saying if the coach told him he wanted him to play on tues weds thurs whatever and he told the coach no I am not gonna do that, this is him not living up to his contract... no more no less... the original post I was responding too said, something to the effect that he was living up to his contract ( I think cause he was present at camp) ... my response was, well if they wanted him to play football in a game and he told them no... and he is under contract to play football... that to me is a breach... you can agree or disagree... but to me telling him he wants him to play in a game and him saying no is a breach whenever that intent was made known.... if you think different, all good we just dont agree... that said... am I upset he said no... honestly, not really, he has been refusing to participate for a while now in TC... maybe its because they are close to a deal and he doesnt want to get hurt... I get it... maybe they arent and he is digging in... that is certainly more concerning... but the bottom line is none of us REALLY know where he is at... so I am in the He gonna do his thing we will see how it works out for him... please just dont fracture the locker room as this thing goes on... to this point he hasnt...

Kind of worried about Carter, I like what the Bills have in Oliver/Jones/Sanders in the early goings before Larry O comes back from suspension and adds a competent veteran but I think Carter might just be a flat out bust if he can't at least show that he can be a competent backend rotation player. I'm not looking for him to come in and be a dominant starter in year two. But I think it is very reasonable to expect him to as a 3rd round pick with a year under his belt to come in and play like a decent rotational player. I'm not gonna put too much stock into a pre-season game but my concern with Carter is beyond this one game, not gonna call him a bust just yet but if he gets displaced by Sanders/Walker before Larry O comes back then it's gonna look like Carter's trending towards bust.

You are what your record says you are: Very good bit not good enough= Schottenheimer

Let me go and take out a 2nd mortgage and bet the futures on those prolific preseason offences of the Jets, Patriots and Browns, or do we get to pick and choose which performances are legitimate indicators of future performance. We’ll just have to disagree on this one, stay healthy and let the rookies and 2nd year players get experience in meaningless football, that’s all these practices are for me.

It doesn’t matter who the DC is. It is McDermott’s D and it can only get you so far.
