James O'Keefe. I was literally there. I was at the other side of the monument reading the wall with the Medal of Honor winners. He had the kids on video, they didn't know who he was. I walked over at the end and wasn't filled in on what was happening until he was in his car. He identified himself. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/F-ZiemkK4mM

Worked yourself into a shoot.

Anybody remember Robert Foster? Josh made him look like a legit NFL WR too. Adding a WR who’s best ability is his run blocking is gonna be a hard pass for me. Besides, when does bringing anybody back after they’ve left really ever really work out in a big way? We’ve done this already with Beas and Smoke Brown, best to just keep moving forward and not look in the rear view … It’s like hooking up with an old ex, most of the time there is just no going back, it’s never going to be the same, and besides there’s plenty of new sexy receivers in the sea, and they’re actually good at giving…catches. Some, believe it or not, even LIKE to catch.

Coach Tre?

I don't think he was ever banned, just blacklisted for a bit. But those kinda things only seem to have a certain shelf life it seems like

You had me at "I've heard of him"

So no one? Better inform the posters on here.

I understand your perspective.

I think ESPN will be taking over the NFLN so sadly that upcoming take over means that ESPN/NFL are going to gut NFLN so ESPN can take it over. Sad because NFLN was probably the best of the "Big 4" sports own TV networks now it is probably the worst.

You mean metabolically?

What trait is that?

Early in the off season I was fully on board with a wideout being a pressing need--I kept thinking that if the Bills just had that fast, sure handed wideout, it would have opened things up underneath all game long versus KC in the Championship game. And then maybe Brady would have called many more runs and short passes, and then, well... And ditto after the playoff loss to KC last season, especially the "sure handed" part of the need. So, early this off season I was all about going all in for a player like Metcalf, and posted about it here, someone I had wanted the Bills to draft. And maybe ditto in the draft this year. But then in this off season, once I had time to really let it all sink in, and look at the season stats, and hear from friends and some on this board, it made much more sense to me to go all in for bettering the defense. The reason? My original take would mean the Bills would have needed to overcome a defensive weakness, time and time again maybe, to just outscore opponents. Sort of like we saw this past season in the Rams and Lions games, for example. To me it made much more sense to make the team stronger, to turn the defensive weak areas into strengths. The struggles in the playoffs, albeit mainly against a dynasty in the making, the Reid Mahomes Chiefs, were usually defensive in nature. Trying to just outscore them, and not stop them, began to seem foolish to me, And the defense had the least talent it had had in years. Now, I am not sure what that need is you ask me about. I think I want to see what the safety play is like, hoping Bishop is the real deal. If he is, I think we are in good shape there for now. Better depth this year with Hamlin and the Washington free agent--if Bishop works out. Ditto for the wide receivers, but I would still like that sure handed burner. But now, I would not pay a lot for him like I wanted to do early in the off season, but would want him on the cheap, in the draft, or as the Bills may have done with Palmer and/or Moore. I am not being critical of those just because they wanted a wideout early in the draft, as I was there myself, but instead have been shocked by the bizarre over the top, irrational bashing of Beane and their reasoning. Hard to take seriously those who say he neglects the offense, it has almost no talent, hates Josh etcetera, after the year the offense had last year--best Bills' offense ever, and most points scored in the NFL last year etcetera

I honestly have no clue what/how they are going to do this without it looking like some sort of bad AA baseball team design. They obviously are going to want to incorporate something about the city into it. Are they going to go serious with it, or go full goofy and put a giant chicken wing with a streak of blue cheese in place of our charging Buffalo logo? I think if they were going to go serious with it they should consider taking the Art Deco vibes from City Hall and incorporate them into the jersey somehow. I know AI is evil but I threw this together with 1 request and, while it’s busy, it’s different and could be kinda cool with someone who knows what they are doing making modifications.

Where are the chicken nuggets from?

Who would win the Pope or Ditka? But the Pope's name is Ditka?

I had the NFL ST last year. The one feature I absolutely missed from the Directv Sunday Ticket, was the ability to record the game (e.g.. start recording at 1pm kickoff) and if I was busy with something else, not rush to the TV, but sit down to watch around 2pm. Between commercials and halftime crap, I was usually caught up by the time the game ended. I just saved 45 min - hour of my weekend! But, with the Youtube Sunday Ticket, I didn't have that function. Their solution was clips for what they determined were highlights to catchup, but not the actual broadcast in which I could FF through ads. Is the functionality I miss from Directv available with the Youtube subscription and DVR option?

You don't have to be "afraid" of a player to recognize that you need to defend deep against a guy who put up 1250 yards, over 17 per reception with an average depth of target over 14 yards in 2023. Prior to that teams had begun squatting on the short to intermediate stuff and daring the Bills to throw deep. The combination of a lack of a proven threat, Allen not being in sync with Hollins on deep balls early and Coleman having a very slow start made their passing game toothless against Baltimore, Houston and NYJ. And Cooper did make some key plays. They likely don't hand KC it's only legit loss of the regular season if Cooper doesn't come up big downfield in that game. The harbinger of concern became how little separation Cooper was getting when he and Allen were connecting. As has happened with older Beane acquisitions like Emmanuel Sanders and Leonard Floyd they got diminishing performance as the season went on. The prior season with Flacco, Cooper was getting a step beyond those defenders when he blew up down the stretch. Cooper is one of the more explosive WR of this era. I think he has the second most 200 yard games all-time?

“In a 2023 interview with the Vatican's news outlet, Prevost focused on the importance of evangelization to help the Church grow. "We are often preoccupied with teaching doctrine ... but we risk forgetting that our first task is to teach what it means to know Jesus Christ," he said.” Hopefully he’ll be someone everyone can appreciate.

He's 32 older but not ancient, he's coming off a season where he had 5.5 sacks in 14 games in what I imagine was a more limited role and he's known to be an effective edge setter. I am sure there's a team out there similar to the Bills in 2023 who missed out on DE's in the draft and signed Leonard Floyd to get some pass rush pop for a year rental. I am sure there is a team that needs a boost at the DE spot. Not only is Clowney not coming off a bad season in 2024 but he's just a year removed from a 9.5 sack season in 2023. He's gonna get a modest sized one year deal unless there's a medical I am unaware of.

https://nypost.com/2025/05/08/sports/ducks-hiring-joel-quenneville-after-career-derailed-over-handling-of-sexual-assault-scandal/ Wasn't Quenneville involved in some kind of sex scandal when he coached years ago. I thought the NHL banned him. Guess not as he is the new Ducks HC.

Yes, and it’s also one of the reasons I’m not a “worry about the future” kind of guy. You really never know what could happen in the blink of an eye to change your (or a loved one’s) life.

I just wasn't impressed with what i saw this season from lewis, so i'm glad they're trying to improve the depth behind TJ. Tackling was an issue, and his coverage metrics didn't look that great either. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2024_advanced.htm
