We don't have a team to field anymore.

Consequently,

Etienne is toast. He is much worse than Cook. Just let Cook play out this year if we can’t get a contract done with him.

Spent my first 35 years of my life roughly in ROC. Moved 5 years ago. Lived in and graduated from Fairport, and will say as others have said, east side is def better than west side. (I had heard that the wealthy people chose to settle on the east side originally so that when they were going to the city in the morning and leaving the city in the evening that the sun was always behind them, not sure if that is true though haha) Most of my friends still live there, and my brother still lives there in Pittsford. When I was younger, the only real nightlife was downtown ROC, but have since heard that no one goes downtown anymore. In turn, I heard Fairport has a decent strip of bars and people tend to stay/go there for a night out now (wish that was the case when I was younger!) My family has seasons for bills games for over 20+ years and it is doable from ROC, but it does take awhile to get home from games, cant imagine what it is like now with the drought long being over.

Josh Allen will probably never throw for 4000 yards again with Joe Brady as coordinator. This run heavy offensive scheme has really limited Josh's passing attempts. Further exacerbated by our lack of field separators in the WR group and Beane's philosophy of "we score points we don't need receivers" mentality.

This one is the opening credits of a video he was in. The full video was on Vimeo, but was taken down.

No matter how many threads @BillsFanNCbumps, or how hard they try to memory-hole the Russia collusion story - it’s never going away. Ever. It’s comical watching these same people flip-flop in real time. Just weeks ago, they were mocking China Ka$h and Blond Bondi over Epstein, claiming she had the files on her desk and was ready to release them. Then it shifted to “the files don’t exist.” And now? They’re back to whitewashing what Russia did in 2016. The mental gymnastics are exhausting and honestly, the desperation is just plain pathetic. These poor infected souls are forever gone. So sad.

I 100% agree with this... unless this gets ugly and is unresolved into the season... he doesnt play, holds out to game 10 or whatever the last game is and then tries to comeback so he can get his year in. Ugly things happen then when a player is coming back at a time when supreme focus is required... if he doesnt handle it properly, sits and pouts and takes it to the media cause he is not playing etc... then it can become distracting... In the camp time... this stuff is done all the time, players get it and may have done it or thought about it as well... you only have so much time to be paid and as a 200lb RB who puts his nose in the pile 10 -20 times a game... clearly that longevity is at risk in a precarious way.... Bottom line, this should not be a distraction unless it is handled poorly by both parties and extends deep into the season... JMO Last thing I will say, a prolonged hold out is really risky for him as well... Ray D comes in and produces in a similar way and the team moves on like next man up... that is gonna hurt his negotiating on a league wide level... I also recognize that he and his brother are not the same people... but I can imagine people have Dalvin in the back of their minds going we hope he doesnt fall off that cliff... etc... this is a really interesting exhibition of negotiation for sure...

Effe give today the deal with EU falls apart. Trump actually believed the EU would give him $600,000,000,000 to invest as he wishes because Europe took advantage of America for so long. Impossible to make a deal...

Agree. I won’t buy one because I have too many facking Bills hats already (the Buffalo Potato hats arrived this week) but those will be keepers down the road.

I would be open to upgrade. I think we need/want 6 seats together though. Im thinking maybe front row for whatever our equivalent new rockpile section will be. Our goal is first row or last row. Aisle a bonus.

I think you'll be surprised at what is still available. of course a lot depends on how much PSL you're willing to pay. But even the $1,000 level are corner upper deck rows 7-10 are still available.

Well, whatever they do they need to do it in a timely fashion. I get these things take time, but this has been dragging on for a while. Honestly, I’m about to ready to say “trade him.” I think Ray Davis and Ty Johnson are more than capable.

Cook was excellent in 2023 too, just without the use in the redzone. Once they started giving him the ball down there instead of always defaulting to rushing Josh, Cook showed he could be really productive. His first year less so, but he sat behind Singletary a ton, waste of time that was. I just don't think Davis has the vision of Cook (in fairness not many do) and he doesn't have the explosion either. He can be a serviceable starter in the way Singletary was for a few years but it is in that lower end, baseline starter territory IMO. I'm with you that I'd much prefer to spend my dollars and have my explosive production at my premium positions and if that takes being a bit worse at running back to achieve that, who cares? To do that is likely going to take trading assets as well though because those explosive contributors at premium spots don't hit FA very often (if at all) and the Bills passed on the chance to swing those trades this past spring. I will say again if they don't extend Cook this summer and one of the pass catchers shows themselves to be that explosive playmaker this year then you absolutely let Cook walk and take the comp pick. But even in a world where Cook plays out his deal if you don't get explosive pass game plays from structure at a better clip than 2024 then I think you have to think very carefully before letting the explosive rusher you have in Cook leave the building.

You, and I, are chipping in a bit more for the cost of the stadium because we will be using it. And our combined share is around 5% of cost. The state and county are covering 38%. Terry and the NFL are paying the rest.

I see your logic, but the reason the players (and many of us) disagree and do not see it that way is due to 1. the ever increasing cap (which has been EXPLODING with streaming money) and 2. the owners needing to give a bigger cut of revenue. The cap is set for a year, but then it goes up and there is new available money. So get every penny you can right now in your current negotiation, and there will be more for me when it's my turn in a year or two. And while I doubt the NFLPA pulls it off, especially in its current weakened state, there is a ton of money to go after with every additional percentage point. It's zero sum year to year, but not over the course of their career or contract.

Etienne is looking at a three way timeshare on a losing team with a bad QB and is set to hit free agency If we can trade for him and let him ball out in a contract year we can let him walk, get a comp pick, and draft a similar player. I'd like to keep our own guys just like you, but if he doesn't wanna play ball and take a fair offer, then you move off of him. The moves I mentioned might possibly work out better for Buffalo

I think it's been designated as a pelvic injury. Doesn't reflect ankle, knee, hammy, hip, groin. Pelvic is something different. Hopefully easier to come back.

So my group is in 201. The heart of the rockpile. We have had our seats for over 20 years. We got the call and are going Virtual as a group Wednesday morning. Im thinking we should be able to get really good seats for our section because we seem to be very early from a rockpile standpoint.

Then you're already about 3 hours behind.

I don't think the players in the locker room are bothered. They support each other when it comes to contracts. The more money Cook gets helps other RBs later. 👍
