I’m going to have to go with the next game! God willing that will be the Bills Home Opener in the last year of the Ralph. I was at the first opener there, I’d like to be at the last.

You don't care that he is causing a needless recession? So he can just do anything and you would be ok with it Orange man is God!

Hope you’re wrong on Hamlin. Hoping Forrest and Hancock make Hamlin an easy cut

Going into the season last year they kept 11 DBs: 7 CBs and 4 Ss. One of them (Codrington) was just a returner and offered little at CB, playing only late in the season when the outcomes were decided. Right now on the roster there are only 4 Ss (Rapp, Bishop, Forrest and Hamlin), and while they say they're going to (also) play Hancock there, he is just a rookie. I think they (may be forced to) keep them all. At CB is where it gets interesting. If they keep 7 again, I would say it's because they plan on keeping Codrington, again. That means that there are 10 players (not counting Te'Cory Couch or the UDFAs) vying for 6 spots. I'd say Benford, Hairston, Johnson and White are locks, with Hancock being a likely bet. That leaves 1 spot open. I think they can cut Jackson, Lewis and Ingram with minimal dead cap hit (less than $800K) and chance of losing them. They can be put on the PS. That leaves 1 spot for Hardy or Strong. Unless they keep 7 CBs without Codrington.

I am interested to see if Bishop makes the sophomore leap all of McDermotts other players make - even Dorian Williams. I hope I'm wrong re: Williams but I think he's got to his ceiling. A serviceable backup, a low grade starter in a 4-3 for WLB. Bishop being a decent athlete with limited speed will be his handicap. His prowess to move to the ball with fierceness and his quick reaction time will need to be improved. He reacts well once he has made the read and hopefully he can learn to diagnose the play earlier, faster, and efficiently to process the next step before he has to make it. This was something Hyde did. He always seemed to be in the right place at the right time to capitalize on a mistake by the offense. This was due to his ability to quickly diagnose and find the defensive weakness. Bishop needs to, also.

Hancock and Strong are near locks to make the team. 5th round picks usually make the team (and are unlikely to clear waivers if cut) and the chatter on Strong has been universally positive. Unless either flame out big time in camp I'd expect both to be on the team. That's not great news for Lewis, Jackson, or Ingram (and probably two of the three).

I’ll just trust you on this one.

That's the most Jim Kelly story ever. Threw a pick (which he did a lot) and then turned into the LB that he always wanted to be.

So a "stop" is either a 3 and out or a turnover.

He is Uncle Festers son!!!

Bills Raiders 2011 week 2 We were down 21-3 at halftime and ended up winning 38-35. One of Fitzmagic's best games

To sum it up...It's about Damn time!

Met several nurses who were freaks in my time. Best to stay away.

Agree. Ill be really worried if Bishop doesn't clearly overtake him in preseason.

I heard it talked about ( I think it was BB) and the first thing they're gonna do is look at Hancock at Safety and nickel. It doesn't sound like he has the ball skills for a Safety but I'm sure they'll try Strong out in different spots. They'll land where they're supposed to. We need a freewheeling ball hawk. Can't have all box guys.

I think the Bills are looking at some changes schematically and it began last year. It started with selecting Soloman in the draft, a much smaller quicker pass rusher than what they typically go for. Then there is the fact that the Bills began playing more man coverage throughout the year. And now drafting a CB with off the charts speed that can play man. Also, drafting another 3 tech DT when everyone thought it would be a 1 tech. The Bills still like their scheme, but it seems they are gradually mixing things up and we are going to see more of that this year. There is a lot of conversation about how other defenses have adapted to stop a Josh Allen led offense. With the way Buffalo's defense performed last year, perhaps it has become clear that offenses have found ways to combat a Bill's defense. I'm just speculating, but I have a hunch the new additions aren't just replacements for a specific defensive scheme. It seems to be about scheme diversity. These additions allow the Bills to mix up not only types of coverage but also defensive line rotations with guys that have different skill-sets. The potential is there for the Dline to wreak some havoc by mixing up the scheme and the type of player on that line. Not sure how they intend to do it. It does look like they can be more flexible now though. To me Landon Jackson is just another piece that allows for a diverse rotation.

A season and a half ago Douglas was playing out of his mind The NFL catches up to everybody it's not like he was trash day one here.. he hit the wall but he still probably wants to get paid like a top two corner on a team

Yeah, that’s my biggest fear. We’re enjoying it now, even more than I expected, but keeping a close eye out for signs of trouble. The problem is, they are very sneaky little critters and it’s hard to shut it down early.

With the new kick off rule, special teams is more important than ever. Last year Mack Hollins, Lewis, and Ingram were core special teamers. Who is going to replace our top 3 special teams players?

My smart ass son came in while I was watching some movie and asked “Dad, what does that WE logo on the bottom of the screen stand for?” Got me! 🤣

You can give ample reasons why guys aren't signed, but the truth is our starting WR, starting CB and most used ST player are still without a job. This shows me that Beane had significant work to do this offseason and there are still questions, especially at WR, CB and Safety, whether Beane accomplished that goal for this season.

please don't forget Spanish American war and Grenada victory days.

Rob Riddick launching himself over the defenders into the endzone. I believe it was one or several nationally televised Bills games where Rob scored a TD this way. It was pretty unstoppable. Rob was a TD machine.

I call this the Rex Ryan “The Annual Build a Bully Award”🥇
