One of the reasons I’m in no hurry to act is I don’t need readers now. My distance is good enough, and I read every day easily with no glasses. At times in the past my eyes and prescription have required readers, and I’m kind of spoiled now not needing them. It’s not a big deal, I’d just leave pairs everywhere and carry some around, but this is nice.

mid to late 80s broncos i was barely alive, but from what i can tell this team was similar to the current Bills. A one man freak show at quarterback who couldn't beat the best teams all by himself deep in the playoffs/superbowl because they ran into elite teams.

I'd throw in the Vikings of the 70s & the Browns in the mid to late 80s.

Outliers exist. That happened in 1989 got anything more recent?

Great …another angle on Bills fail

I agree that CF is more of a concern. Both Bishop and Rapp are better box safeties. I also agree that Peppers is a better box safety but he’s still an improvement over Hamlin. McDermott and Beane have shown they aren’t focused on finding that CF anyways with the drafting of Bishop. Peppers is the style of S they have recently prioritized

Agree. When we signed Milloy we just put him back there and told him to ball. He did, too. He washed out quickly but he did ball.

Gettir done Beane

Woah dude. Out of sight out of mind. What is simmons waiting on? Is it him or everyone else? Forgot he's out there. Sure, i would like him but I think he's less realistic. The thing with Peppers I'm comfortable with is that he has missed time like all of our safeties. So, we have a veteran who can bring the wood when needed like Rapp if we did sign him. He's overrated, sure, I would agree. I'd still sign him given the right opportunity for price.

The odds of McD trusting him out there in a hybrid box role at this point in the offseason - this would be one of those misfit signings that probably never gets integrated into the lineup here. He’s not plug-and-play at this coach is slow to trust.

Maybe. I have never been a big Peppers guy tbh. Going back to college I thought he was significantly overrated. I'm fine if they bring him in. I don't hate it. But it isn't something I'd personally advocate for. I'd still rather give Justin Simmons a ring (I know that isn't happening).

although we do have DB coach now who coached him in NE I think? So I guess it’s possible

yeah, it's not happening but it would be nice.

I doubt we do it, but we should arguably the best safety on team if signed

As we get ready to play the ravens a big nickel cuts down on wear and tear on johnson I'm for signing him because he is better talent that is at the bottom of our roster. Talent that we can find a way to play. He's maybe the only safety i would consider of them all since the end of the season i would want because he would be cheap. A 1 yr prove it and show up deal on this defense would be good for him. McDermott is good with DB's. He can fill in to play 3rd LB, big nickel, or straight up safety. If we talked to him and said he has to play at least punt team or some special team and he agrees....sign him.

Yup. He will be better than Mayo was for sure. Vrabel is a good coach, but I don’t think he’s some genius that’s gonna revolutionize the league. In Tennessee, he handed the ball to Derek Henry 400 times a year

McDermott is searching for safeties who can play deep or in the box. Peppers is more your box safety / extra linebacker. Or your "big nickel" if you want to use that parlance. I think the Bills could find a use for him but to be honest box safety play isn't really my concern for Buffalo. I'm worried about us in center field coverage situations.

When did DeAndre Hopkins ever kicked a FG?

I understand what you’re trying to say. People disagree sometimes.

You’re so clever. So clever that you are owned by a conman.

I like. If we don’t sign him I’m never watching a preseason game again.

we essentially need to focus on January and playoff performance. we do not need to sleep walk through the season, we just need to win the AFCE. It'd be nice to get the top 3 seed. but, after being beat at home several times i think being healthy in the playoffs is more important than being home.

Are you saying that you got just readers from Lens Crafters? Walmart, Walgreens, CVS etc, sell them for $10-$20... hope you didn't pay more than that.

A hybrid safety. What McDermott is always searching for. He’s a no brainer upgrade over Hamlin
