I have to think at some point that your core demographic consistently and across the board raising concerns about the deteriorating quality of your product would raise concerns. while of course that could be a case of grumpy old men being a naturally complaint filled group…. it reminds me of espn thinking they had the magic ratings team and paying everyone only to later realize everyone was watching for Tebow news, not their newscasters and ratings plummeted when Timmy flopped. Could we be in a weird bubble where people are falling out of love with nfl football despite being highly engaged socially at the moment through things like fantasy football?

I would say the Taron Johnson pick six is the high point of the Allen/McD/Beane era thus far.

My Final 53 Man Roster.....Probably going to be completely wrong haha QB: Josh Allen, Mitchell Trubisky (2) RB: James Cook, Ray Davis, Ty Johnson (3) FB: Reggie Gilliam (1) WR: Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, Curtis Samuel, Elijah Moore, Tyrell Shavers (6) TE: Dalton Kincaid, Dalton Knox, Jackson Hawes (3) OL: Dion Dawkins, David Edwards, Connor McGovern, O'Cyrus Torrence, Spencer Brown, Alec Anderson, Tyler Grable, Ryan Van DeMark, Kendrick Green (9) DE: Joey Bosa, Greg Rousseau, A.J. Epenesa, Javon Solomon, Landon Jackson (5) DT: Ed Oliver, DaQuan Jones, T.J. Sanders, Deone Walker, Jordan Phillips (5) LB: Matt Milano, Terell Bernard, Dorian Williams, Joe Andreessen, Shaq Thompson (5) CB: Christian Benford, Tre White, Taron Johnson, Dorian Strong, Cam Lewis, Dane Jackson, Jamarcus Ingram (7) SAF: Cole Bishop, Taylor Rapp, Jordan Hancock, Damar Hamlin (4) K: Tyler Bass, P: Brad Robbins LS: Ferguson (3) Short Term IR: Maxwell Hairston PUP: Sedrick Van Pran Granger Suspended: Larry Ogunjobi, Michael Hoecht Notes & Thoughts: - I wonder if the Bills can move Mike White. Highly unlikely but he has a really reasonable backup contract, starting experience in the NFL, and apparently the Raiders are looking for an experienced guy after O'Connell broke his hand. - I think the first "controversial" positions is WR. The top 3 we knows are set. I think Samuel makes it because of his contract situation. Shavers did enough this preseason and his special teams play gets him on the roster. I'd say that Moore is the most likely to be cut but I think the fact he was out at the half of the last preseason game means he is going to make the initial roster as well. The only thing I can see here besides Moore possibly not making it is carrying 5 WR's if a Samuel Trade comes about. I think that is highly unlikely though. There is also the possibility of Gabe Davis in the mirror as a possibility. Does he replace Samuel or Moore if he is signed. - Offensive Line is an interesting for a couple of reasons. I think the first 8 are set. Beyond that SVP goes to PUP. Will it be Chase Lundt or will it be Kendrick Green or Dan Feeney. Frankly, I would keep Lundt as number 9 and then I would keep both Green and Feeney as my PS IOL and call them up until SVP is ready to return to the roster while protecting Lundt. Not sure Lundt gets through to the Practice Squad but here I try Defensive Line: Well that was an interesting signing of Jordan Phillips. I think they want a little more insurance at the DT spot than having to rely on a 2nd year guy and two rookies. This could go a lot of different ways as they could trade DeWayne Carter, which I have them doing in this model, releasing DaQuan Jones, or letting Larry Ogunjobi go. Either way, Phillips goes to the 53, they trade Carter for a late draft pick, and Ogunjobi eventually replaces Phillips and they swap when Ogunjobi comes off the Suspended list. Linebacker: I think the top 4 is pretty set. Its the # 5 spot that has me curious. Do the Bills doe what everyone expects them to do and keep Shaq Thompson as Linebacker # 5. Do they stun everyone and keep the Army kid as #5 because of his special teams abilities? Or do they go out and sign another LB that is cut from another organization. I'm actually leaning towards number 3 and feel the Bills will sign someone who will eventually be the 5th LB while Ciarlo and Thompson head to the Practice Squad. Cornerback: This position is the one from the first that has changed quite a bit from the beginning. I thought no way that the Bills would have both Ingram and Lewis on this years 53 again but add in an injury or two from Hairston and the uncertainty of Tre White status. The Bills keep a variety of guys for various reason. Ingram makes it because of Special Teams, Lewis because of his versatility, Strong because of his youth, and Jackson stays because of insurance for now. Safety: Pretty cut and dry. I don't expect the Bills to add anyone here I'd like to see these guys added to the Practice Squad for sure if they can get them through waivers. Shane Buechele QB Frank Gore Jr. RB K.J Hamler WR Khristian Wilkerson WR Keleki Latu TE Chase Lundt OT Dan Feeney OG/OC Jimmy Ciarlo LB

Dolac: 1) Played in Buffalo... meaning the Bills had access and exposure to him greater than any other NFL team 2) Has a RAS in the 90th percentile 3) Was twice All-MAC First Team 4) Was MAC DPOTY last year 5) Was a consensus All-American last year If any team should have known he was a player, it was the Bills.

What a mess

He’s horrendous. Flat footed constantly cant cover and is way to slow to be a LB in the modern NFL. Where’s it come from? Watch the games. He sucks. Cute story. Take the blinders off he cannot be in position to ever play a down that counts. The reality is every ball down the seem is wide open when he’s on the field. It’s plain as day.

You don't need ESP to know the top tackler in FBS plays on the other side of town. But good for the Rams, huh? They actually held Dolac out of PS game #3. I guess they didn't want a rostered player getting injured. #UBHornsUp

Putin's B

Reading through these names feels like an episode of Key and Peele…

he's back! I do love #97! Line him up next to Walker and let's roll

What we do with our D is kind of like when championship teams bring back guys who know how to get it done on their side of the ball when it matters most...except for the whole winning championships thing or our defense ever not being horrible when it matters most

Where does this stuff come from with you folks? Andreessen is a very good athlete, and made a ton of fast physical plays last preseason. His main sin so far is not dropping back deep enough in his zones, which has very little to do with athleticism and very much to do with comfort and experience. If you're gonna trash talk our own players, at least do so with some kind of basis in reality.

Essentially nobody of note yet 😂

The two points can be separate, ya know. I can think "wow, with all the assets we've poured into the Defense, and all the ways we should have been (and won) a Lombardi by now...we're still diving into the vet FA pool to fill positions for a defense that has continually been the crux of why we can't get to the superbowl." That should be alarming. Has nothing to do with QB contracts, especially when Beane made a bunch of FA signings the last few years focused on the D.

I still think of him a little whenever I hear Tyrone Taylor 😁

He’s started exactly zero nfl games. The other two bad or not have won NFL games. His 40 time at 4.95 is irrelevant.. half the qbs in the nfl run about that or close. Thought he played well vs TB but it would be quite a risk and I don’t see the Bills doing that.

Bass is the least of our concerns

Remember when he hit a 61 yarder to win it in the final seconds last year
