Marvcus Patton...his mom was a professional football player.

I've always thought this was a fun, and interesting poll, but I'll never put much stock in its accuracy. Being that it's current players who cast votes, there is certainly at least some element of popularity involved. The fact that Josh Allen-- reputed as one of the top trash-talkers in the league-- was ranked outside of the top ten in '24 makes that clear. As Spencer Brown has always been quick to get in anyone's face who even looks at Josh wrong, I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't a very popular player outside of Buffalo. But we sure love him!

Two players are returning from PED suspensions: Joey Bosa and a rookie class that seems to be over-relied upon, which typically isn't a recipe for success. Our biggest issue is the lack of development among the defensive linemen we've recently drafted. Players like Oliver, Epenesa, and Groot have the potential to be productive but haven't shown significant improvement since their rookie seasons.

Remember when Trump was gonna let us know what happened to Epstein?

That’s pretty much it. Some of the postgame news conference will be held there as well. The seats are over a dugout - it’s elevated so people can enter and exit below. As a result the first row is row 6, and we’d be row 8. The sales rep said row 1 is higher at the new stadium to comply with nfl rules and offer better sightlines and he estimated our row 8 would be like row 13 at the current, so we should be able to see fine other than the cameras that roll back and forth. There is a small viewing patio on the field that they give us access to as well, but I don’t think it’ll be worth standing in during a game - that will be too low to see over the players. But it could be fun for kids during warm ups or post game I guess.

Sorry, my bad, I was being sarcastic. Agree with everything you state above. It would be crazy to think we aren’t a better team this year than last.

I can get caught up in a good story like anyone else, but while occasionally curious, I'm almost always cautious. It's been my default for most of my life. Part of the reason I have enjoyed this forum is the exchange of ideas, some mundane, some out there a bit, and I've seen it from both sides of the aisle. I try not to get too deep on things that require major leaps of faith. I'm honestly less impacted by some of the stuff that was shared here (and always enjoyed interacting with DR and the rest of the folks who left), more on some of the crazy #### that passes for "that's just the way we do things in Washington". I know we've beaten it to death...but Trump facing prison and what amounts to a life sentence over concerns about classified documents v Biden taking/securing documents over many years in office (and none with even the question of a President's ability to declassify broadly) and it being a minor speed bump in his political legacy far outshines any thoughts on Epstein and the like.

i really hope that streak of icing doesn’t kill you snowflake lol… maybe have the daughters crew team come in and do the cleaning for you since they’re being pushed out of college sports by the big bad trans women dominating in crew right now lol.

cope and seethe I guess?

Creed Humphrey is the best center in the league. He deserves to be much higher on this list than the guys surrounding him.

That will only happen if he gets sacks. That's just kind of how it goes if you are a defensive end.

....At the bar, the start of the regular season.

The point of this is to cause civil disobedience and take the violence of the right wing, similar to what people went through in the civil rights era.

NFL Top 100 year prior to RB's signing massive extensions. Zeke Elliott - 18th Todd Gurley - 6th Dalvin Cook - 21st Le'Veon Bell - 6th (then sat out the next year) Christian McCaffrey - 6th (had one and 1/2 healthy seasons since 2020). Nick Chubb - 26th (had two good years before devastating let injury).] Henry's the one back that has defied the odds. It's a wait and see on Barkley with his new extension.

Running Backs tend to make it at a higher rate than their actual importance in the league because it is still a "name" position. But Jimbo is really good and congrats to him.

Based on everything I’ve heard from people speculating on what Rousseau has been and analytics show can be, especially on an improved line, I doubt he makes it this year .. but I think he does next year. Im expecting a “breakout” year, in terms of national attention, for Rousseau this year. His analytics numbers show he’s much better than he gets credit for.. mainly due to low sack numbers and playing on a meh DL where he asked to do alot of dirty work.

There’s a lot of shady business surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein cover-up. We’ve gone from lists allegedly being reviewed to now supposedly no lists existing at all. Surveillance tapes somehow didn’t work. Prison guards were charged, then quietly had those charges dropped. Future Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein a sweetheart deal and then all his emails from that period mysteriously vanished. The list goes on. It’s all too murky to untangle, and we have no real way of knowing which claims are true, which are false, or what really happened in any of these bizarre “coincidences.” But there is one thing that could still be definitively exposed, and it would go a long way toward explaining everything else: How did Jeffrey Epstein actually make his money? If someone could offer a clear, credible explanation—that he was just some brilliant investor who made his fortune through legitimate trading—then maybe, just maybe, the lone-wolf predator theory holds. Maybe he really was just a monster who occasionally let his powerful friends join in. But no one has offered that explanation. Not then, not now. And until they do, the cover-up speaks louder than the silence.

I think Dawkins, Brown, Benford and Allen make it I think Rousseau should and might make it

I don’t care what anyone says, it’s almost criminal at this point the lack of WR help for Allen. I can’t think of a worse WR core in the entire league than this 1. Although I do like the addition of Bosa I’m predicting he misses at least 5 games, that would mean we’re back to the same inept DL as last year until Hoecht/the DT return from suspension.

I’ve seen a few sites listing the Bills as a Top 5 DL entering this year. Thats obviously very dependent upon Sanders, Jackson and Bosa as guys who could potentially join Oliver & Rousseau as high end DL players but the depth, especially once Hoecht & Ogunjobi come off suspension, is Eagles like from last year. They added better CB depth and drafted a RD1 Corner… Safety and Linebacker, mostly the same, but entering training camp healthy. On Offense they were elite on the OL, elite at QB, above average at RB, awaiting Kincaid making a jump to see a similar above average group at TE and then improved at WR. The article referenced seems strange when the Defense has been overhauled to the point we may see 5 new DL heavy in the rotation, a new CB2 and, for all intention.. a new Safety. Aside from going out and getting a player like Garrett or Crosby.. who were never actually available .. the Bills probably did as much as possible to improve the floor and ceiling of a team that made the AFCCG without mortgaging the future to a ridiculous extent.

Dion will make it for sure. He has the name recognition, goes to the pro bowl every year, and has the personality that gets him noticed. Brown and Benford deserve it, but I don't know if they have the national recognition yet. He deserves it. I don't think he is a lock to make it, though.

I'm not jumping on the hope train but playing better team defense and improving both a bottom ranked PP and PK unit is the quickest path to being in the playoff picture. Its strange that a team with good scoring metrics was so inept on the power play. That screams coaching issue to me and not talent. Granted we just moved a player responsible for 28% of our PP goals (12 out of 43). Kulich needs to be the guy taking one timers and filling the net on the PP from the right wing opposite Tage. PK results are generally in line with our overall goals against per game. Its obvious this team has been poor defensively for years. If the moves on defense and another year in Lindy's system does not dramatically improve defensive play, this team is going to struggle big time. Its another season that hinges on Tage, Dahlin, and Tuch staying healthy all year and continuing to produce around career high levels and a major jump in play from some combination of Kulich, Benson, Quinn. Otherwise you can take a 10 game losing streak to the bank. We will miss Peterka's speed. Without adding another top 6 forward I think we are looking at a less entertaining but less maddening path to a similar finish on the standings as last year.

Miller High Life or Miller Genuine Draft? 🤔 And is the Hasek a pilsner?
