Pancho Billa (May he RIP), Steve Tasker with the cigar saying "Might be chilly tomorrow" Wolf Blitzer may be a stretch, but he has been a long time fan, and I've always enjoyed Kyle Brandt's Buffalo Bills enthusiasm to say Let's Go Bills Mafia! Grateful the family keeps growing...

C’est what?

Rough night? Not a single mention of Epstein. You have lost the plot. Get it together. Also: I don’t like it. Outside of Bernie, I don’t think that many people do like it. Because you don’t see 6 people here raging about it Roundy-style, that equates to “apparently all the maga has no problem with it”. Not just grammatically incorrect but incredibly lame.

While I’m not tuned into right wing media, I get that perspective here. If there is so much outrage over Trumps policy, I haven’t seen it expressed here on PPP. So what do you think about government taking ownership of businesses?

Well…I didn’t like when we won the offseason…so….

Beane spent all offseason trying to improve the defense. Now that the games count I would kickoff and let the defense get out there first and show what they can do. Great test against a good offense with a great QB and RB. I also prefer the Bills to start with the ball in the 2nd half anyway.

Im 56 and already feel the same way.

I see what you mean about the schedule. This week they should take advantage and stack some wins together. Good start last night with the 10-5 win over the Nationals.

I mean he got that 2022 draft pretty right even despite whiffing on his first rounder.... without that 2022 class his seat would be very, very hot right now. If the 2023 class and the 2024 class don't look better by the end of this season than they do right now then his end of season presser will be interesting.

The guy who was front man for 'The Union Gap'?! * No, wait. I'm thinking of the guy who was centre fielder for the Twins. * I'm pretty sure he's most remembered for 'Mustang Sally'. 🤔

The fact that he is still so with it and so sharp at 100 is incredible

They have no principles. Other than they're against the libs. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Delete "exactly" and I agree. They aren't conservative. Tariffs, taxes, state ownership of tech companies, censorship of things that piss them off, not consistently law and order. They're angry populists who, for the moment, lean right on social issues. A lot of them easily could be Bernie Bros and lean left without really missing a beat on the economic issues.

But but but, he got a 6th round pick right! So many bad contracts signed, it’s insane, but Beane is a God and don’t you dare say otherwise or you will be burned at the preverbal stake here.

Seems like you’re in dire need of reciting the preseason pledge: “THOU SHALT NOT OVER REACT TO THE PRESEASON”

You wanted more inflation, more expensive food, exploding electricity costs, tax breaks for the rich, and more taxes on middle class Americans? Weird. Are they the same ones who want state ownership of companies like Intel? You should know. I disagree with the former. Tariffs are taxes. The whole thing is friggin stupid. Inflation is rising, electricity is rising, food is more expensive. Not to mention the continuation of tax breaks for the rich. MAGA talks the talk, but caves to the country club set to get things done on the fiscal side in the end. The latter comment I agree with completely.

Special Teams is a fair concern going into the year. Between these points as well as an untested punter, they seem primed to have another “whelming” season for that unit.

My thoughts: 1. Trubiski is the clear #2, and if Josh goes down we’ve got trouble like pretty much every other team with a great WB 2. O line: There is nothing from camp saying Brown has a lingering concern. He didn’t play much in preseason like every other starter. And we have good backups in Anderson, Grable, and maybe Lundt. 3. If we’re worried about who our 4-6 WRs are that’s a good problem to have. Shavers should clearly be on the roster; he is this year’s Hollins. Shakir should be ready opening day, Coleman had a great camp, Kincaid and Knox are ready, and we have three RBs that are adept at pass catching. Plus the reigning league MVP at QB. Not worried about the pass game at all. 4. Safety: It will be Rapp and Bishop. Rapp is solid and you have to put the young players like Bishop on the field. We were all somewhat spoiled by how great Hyde and Poyer were together. 5. CB: if White is out for awhile I expect Beane to bring in another guy. But I also think Ingram can provide decent play there. 6. Returner: I don’t expect either Shenault or Coddrington; they’ll have Davis or Johnson do that. Shenault May have a shot. 7. We added a ton of talent to the D line. The two rookie DTs look like they are going to be a big help, and Bosa looks healthy. Plus I think Babich is going to use more blitz packages. We should get to the QB more and that will help the DBs. And the increased talent at DT should help the run defense. 8. Bass looks like he has recovered and has two weeks before the first game. No problems there. i don’t see any reason to project gloom. We are a talented team and should have a great shot at the Lombardi.

Agree. Beane says he will "never apologise" for spending a lot of his capital $$s and picks on the DLine. But to the same degree he can't then give us a sob story about how hard it is putting pieces around Josh or having something resembling NFL level safety play "when you are paying your quarterback"..... it's all choices. Brandon makes his. We will have to live and die by them. EDIT: although just to be clear he won't actually be on the books for the next three seasons. Once his contract voids after 2025 the money accelerates into 2026. He actually counts $2.5m dead cap next year and then is clear thereafter. But your principle point stands.

Agree with all this except Trubisky. I think he has been fine. He is a middle of the road NFL backup Quarterback. He won that job pretty convincingly to my eye. But all the other concerns are concerns I share. I'll add return game too where neither Shenault or Coddrington has really separated for me.

Well, you're doing a good job saying it now. You put your finger on the question that more sunny posters here are ignore: not whether the Bills do something, but whether it was enough to produce a better outcome in the playoffs than the past seven years. I share your concern, to the extent that my hopes for the season rest pretty much entirely on Allen and the offense. I think the defense may win a few games for the team via turnovers, as they did in the Baltimore game, where they were otherwise overmatched. But for the most part my hopes for a Super Bowl appearance/win rest entirely on Allen and the offense. Not a whimsical hope, I might add.

Are we sure this is the same Jordan Phillips and not the one that was drafted by Miami in the 5th round of this year’s draft? Many people don’t do any research and make wrong assumptions. I saw where people assumed that Lonnie Johnson Jr was the son of the Bills former tight end but in fact he is not. If this is really our lovable retread, I believe he would only be signed to fill in while our 2 new veteran defensive linemen serve their 6 game suspensions. But, what do I know? 🤪
