So, we have two throwbacks coming, home and road. The red helmet against the Jets in the finale. And what sounds like a winter white-out in October. The Bills have one of the top five kits in the league...hate to mess with it...and I have no hope Nike will come up with something tolerable in October.

i think this is pretty cool. got the throwbacks, red helmet, and now this. i'm stoked

I don’t think Fields is a guy, or any of those guys, are the guys that you build around. That’s why I used the Darnold (and Geno) examples. They got 3 year deals. That’s what I think Fields could get. If he plays well this year, he could get a bridge deal like that. If he excels in that bridge deal, as Baker has (shouldn’t expect that) he will get a massive deal. He can’t get that coming out of this year IMO. He will need to “prove it” for multiple seasons. That’s what Darnold basically has to do.

That's a lame justification. Where was the appropriate spot for Maybin to be drafted? The 7th round? If we don't draft him, he absolutely goes in the next 10 picks, just like most "drafted too high" players. Most draft boards are pretty close. It wasn't some insane reach that the jags or raiders are known for.

There were a lot of people here predictioning economic calamity. Maybe it will still happen and those people will find some satisfaction. To date, every one of those predictions has amounted to fertilizer.

Josh Allen.....you can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him....and most teams can't even do that!!

I dont plan on seeing Mike White or insert named QB2 on the field at all except when josh is pulled in the 3rd QTR again

I mean, thats way better than what theyve had for the last 15 years or so. And I think a lot of Bills fans would have taken that during the heart of the drought. None of those QBs are long term options, but if they got one and managed to sneak into a Wildcard spot just once, it would certainly rejuvenate the fan base. And then you tank when that guys contract is up and hope to nail a QB with an early pick. But I dont even see any of that happening as long as Woody and Brick are in charge.

He literally was better late in his time in Chicago than Darnold was late in his time with the Jets. Fields went for a similar package to Baker (the best of all of them). The difference is, the Steelers didn’t play him so they avoided it becoming a 4th. Randy Moss was once traded for a 4th. Trade compensation doesn’t mean much to me. Had the Bears decided to trade Fields before announcing that they were picking Caleb, they cwould have gotten more. Player A: 13-25 record, 225 total YPG, 59.8 completion %, 50 total TDs, 46 turnovers Player B: 10-28 record, 235 total YPG, 60.3 completion %, 54 total TDs, 41 turnovers In case you didn’t guess, player A is Darnold in NY and player B is Fields in Chicago. To say, “there are levels to this” is just wrong. They were pretty similar, with a slight edge to Fields. That holds especially true if you look at the most recent season for each in NY & Chicago.

Like Tom Jackson always used to say on NFL Primetime......KNOCK IT DOWN!!!!

I'm going to start a new thread here. Title: What Are We Not Talking About That We Should Be Talking About?

Seems like the market agrees with me, eh?

As long as enough people are buying, there are more reasons to add new attire. It’s about nothing more than $$

God help us. Mike White sucks really bad. Really, really bad.

I'll be honest I kind of glossed over him because he seemed to be Oliver's backup/replacement but he's showing the penetration that Oliver has been inconsistent at. I'm not mad if we are going all in on 3 tech attacks

Not only is he not “buried deep on the roster” but - barring injury - he’ll have the highest snap percentage in the WR room. Coleman is the closest thing the Bills have to a legit X. Nobody else on the roster can really fill that role. Hell, I’m not sure it’s a good spot for Coleman either, but he’s what we’ve got and they’re going to play him there at a high rate. All these posters coming in (after a day or two of non-padded practice) saying that the best 3 WRs are Palmer, Moore and Shakir and they are the ones who should play think this is fantasy football. That’s a Z, a Z/slot hybrid and a slot. The only one of those guys who can possibly move to the X is Palmer and moving him there would diminish his contributions. I don’t think many posters realize the massive difference in having to line up ON the LoS and getting to line up a couple of yards behind it.

Yep

It's tough. I think the NBA does a pretty good job with this stuff, but the season is so much longer. On the other hand the NFL looks like Steve Buschemi in 30 Rock. They league can and should do more, but you can very quickly let it get out of hand and dominate 17 games.

This is really confusing. Hoecht sleeps in backfield, Sanders is living there, Rousseau and Bosa are eating today, and yet Allen is shredding the first team defense. What am I missing?

You bet man. I agree 100%. Get this Defense to be lethal and we win a lot of games!

Wait. I haven't seen you complain about disproportionate tax breaks for the rich in the big bill. I'm already paying for Medicare and a supplement and paid into Medicare at the highest rate over my working life. Why should I pay even more to be able to choose a concierge doc?

I'm way more concerned with Vrabel out-coaching us and pulling a fast one on McD to squeak out a last minute FG and win by 1-2points than I am worried about their talent on the field. But to that point, our guys better be ready to play when we face NE because Vrabel will have his guys ready for a physical game.

Hey guys, has anybody made a joke about how Hacketts offenses are so bad that they make defenses look good so that's why he switched?
