Unfortunately, I don't have access to Hard Knocks down here in Kiwi land, but was wondering if this show is only for the preseason, or will they be following the Bills throughout the entire season. Cheers

After the Giants made themselves look spectacularly stupid last year, I think the Bills were determined to lay down some boundaries on what would be allowed. McDermott’s office is off-limits and I’m sure they drilled the players about what to say and who will be allowed to have a voice. It makes for less than riveting viewing, but the Bills like a drama-free environment, as evidenced by paying a huge price to not have Diggs around last year.

Artie was a bit unconventional. Took me a little, but ended up really liking him. RIP, Tiny Tot!

Thanks for posting! My thoughts: 1. Those Greg Bell unis are an absolute eyesore. 2. The Thurman run was the first NFL game I ever attended in person. I was in the end zone behind the Bills. One thing I forgot was that Lofton doesn’t just run with Thurman, he actually makes an impactful block about 60 yards downfield. And in FRONT of the runner, not behind. I can’t think of another time I’ve seen that off the top of my head. 3. I was surprised that OJ was only on the list once, but I didn’t account for it being stadium-specific and not home-game-specific. 4. I was also surprised that Kenny Davis was the only 2-timer. The draw on 3rd and 6 was the absolute perfect play call, and he just turned on the jets. The second one was a more impressive run, and probably the best of his career. Tremendous balance to shake off about 4 tackles, including the last one at high speed. 5. Cook might alter the list a bit this year. Even if he doesn’t, that 65-yarder in the snow was awesome. That whole game was such a joy and delight to watch. (For us - not so much for Niners fans.)

Thanks for posting. I haven't listened but plan to tomorrow. Brett and EJ do such an awesome job on team by team deep dives. I don't know if anyone would find a Bills analysis like this by a national source in any year.

This is why they focused on the crappy teams. Good teams are just too boring because there is very little drama, starting jobs are mostly set, etx. The Bills would have be EXCELLENT content during some of the drought years. Or can you imagine the Rob Johnson and Doug Flutie years on hard knocks? That would have been good.

But the people, for the people 😀😂😃😄😆😸😹😹

Let me see if I have this right. Since Biden, the worst president in the history of America, everybody says so, the demented guy who didn't know what day it was didn't release the Epstien files. So now its okay for President Trump who claimed at least to be draining the swamp is ok to do the same? Who's the bigger man on the issue. Neither one evidently. President Biden never moved sexual predator Maxwell to a minimum security work release prison after her talking to his attorneys. Does this bother you at all? Even just a little? Drain the swamp. Release the info and let the chips fall where they may. And come on man, the democrats didn't want to release it cuz many democrats and big time democrat donors are on the list too. It's not complicated.

What a goober. He's really proud of himself.

The commish office is very busy this time of year SMH

More than you'd get in a year on GR.

Are they gonna be there? Peter Criss in cat makeup? Are they still, umm, mentally fit?

Well there it is… This is the next window to win a Super Bowl in the next 4 years. I think it happens

Only two possible outcomes: Hunter apologizes, or Melania drops the case. This will never go to discovery. Too bad.

After his WGR days he did some announcing at high school games. I went to a St, Francis HS game years ago and Artie was the stadium announcer.

We all know Rice has already received absurdly beneficial procedural wins starting from the moment he exited that car last, from the passenger side, and successfully fled the scene. At no point has law enforcement treated him with the punitive urgency a working class or even poor citizen would have received. And as far as the NFL's separate investigative process is specifically concerned, I'm not hearing any noise about a history of prior behavioral red flags. I think at least one incident has come up since he joined the league and before the big public endangerment car crash thing. Total broom job upcoming: 4 games at most, but possibly appealed down to the 3, and that appeals process means Rice begins his suspension a week later, after week 5, and thus returns week 9 against Buffalo LMAO.

The other thing he was is a clunky scheme fit for a lot of schemes. I remember when I was doing the 2 round mock with @gonzo1105 there were a few edge needy teams in that late 2nd territory where Jackson just was not a fit. We found a team in the end in that range where it made sense..... the Buffalo Bills (I know they ended up taking him in the third but we didn't have trades).

In most the Super Bowl runs they made they had to come from behind once, if not multiple times and that’s something I don’t know that we have figured out in the postseason. We have trailed for a few minutes here or there and won, but for the most part when we have got behind we haven’t been able to come back (exception 13 seconds). To truly get it done we are likely looking at least one if not multiple late game comebacks which will also have to include late game stops. Pretty tall task from what we have seen so far. Baltimore basically avalanched us in the 2nd half. Perhaps Josh goes down and ends it if they convert the 2 pointer, but if he doesn’t that game is going the other way. The Chiefs aren’t the end of this. We will still need to close the deal in the Super Bowl. Which for a lot of teams, along with us being the most famous for, can be a bigger hurdle than anything that precedes it. NFC is getting stronger. Eagles were the best team in football last year. It’s a long road to eliminate our demons. What I want to see this regular season is Bishop stepping into a starter role. Max able to look like a first round pick towards the back half of the year. Possibly unseat Tre. Some pop for at least one of our interior DL rookies. A reasonably healthy season from Bosa, Bernard, and Milano. If these things happen I really think this defense could be positioned for a serious postseason run. Just a lot of ifs, especially when we have so much exposure with a few guys missing time like Benford or Bernard. It will be a fun year this year. I’m looking forward to it. But a lot needs to happen for us. I think if it’s going that way it will be apparent in the stats. The first iteration of this team was fielding #1 defenses at times in the regular season. Much more aggressive and disruptive dictating pace vs bend but don’t break. That’s what we need to see.

So from what I have seen so far it's c.$15m guaranteed at signing with a foregone conclusion option bonus in 2026 of about $7.5m at which time some of the 2027 money also guarantees. Feels like the Bills are tied in at least for this year and the first two of the four year deal. Sounds kinda fair. Josh breaking his hand week 1 last year forced them to back off running Josh inside the 5 so much (excpet for sneak type plays) and made them trust Cook. Finding out he is pretty reliable inside the 5 means they know now they don't need to use Josh as that battering.ram down there. In the long run that broken hand might have been a blessing.

Look at the title of this thread. No, I do not expect that, but clearly some people think he's going to be "the next monster in the NFL..."

I got nothing.

4 games for pleading to 2 felonies for what he did is ridiculous
