Never NEVER Give-up

I haven't enjoyed the 'event' of the 1st night of the NFL Draft since it left Radio City in NYC. Back then, dozens of projected 1st and 2nd rounders would attend in person. Now this year, the #1 draft pick was not on site! Move it back to NYC. I really don't want it in Buffalo. Or Cincy, or anywhere else. Thank God for the Sabres this year - I tuned in to the Draft after the hockey game and saw us trade out of the 1st round - glad I didn't waste my time on that fiasco it all night!

With $134MM guaranteed, who cares about term? Anderson does - after 3 years he'll be in line for another mega-payday and if he isn't, he'll have at least $134MM in his pockets.

The Bills unveiled "renderings" of Bull, Cow and Calf statues for the front of the stadium. Is this what they are going to look like? Tesla truck-like Bisons? I was hoping for authentic-looking beasts, not a cyborg family. Here's hoping I'm getting ticked over nothing. I hope "renderings" means size & place-holders - not the finished appearance,

In the absence of a true FB, maybe Jackson Hawes sees more action. He's a great blocker.

As usual, I would expect Beane told them to find their value then come back to him. Either or both could end up here again IF Leonhard thinks they're a 'fit'.

"The Dynasty is back! No, it's a fart in the wind! Gone!" LOL - love it!!

Beane has often said in-season the Coach is front and center discussing the games. After the season it's the GM who's front and center with FA and Draft talk.

To summarize: The Buffalo Bills announced today that the team will produce and distribute radio broadcasts for preseason, regular season and playoff games in-house, starting in 2026. With this transition to in-house production and distribution, the Bills and WGR and Rochester affiliate 950-AM The Fan will conclude their broadcast partnerships. One Bills Live co-hosts Chris Brown and Steve Tasker will remain in their current roles. (means they want all the $$) Starting Monday, Feb. 9, One Bills Live will be distributed in-house. Broadcasts will stream exclusively on BuffaloBills.com and THE BILLS APP from 1-3 p.m. every weekday. One Bills Live will continue to be simulcast on MSG Western New York. If your streaming experiences are poor (like mine are), this is a loss for listeners. In-house distribution will enable the Bills to expand their network of station affiliates across New York State, Southern Ontario, and additional regions throughout the country. If true, maybe more radio stations will carry Bills programming. Daily podcast versions of each One Bills Live episode will be posted to the Bills App, BuffaloBills.com, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever you get your podcasts. From One Bills Drive Website.

I'd like to see Jim Schwartz to return, though he's still under HC consideration in Cleveland. Jim Leonhard - our old DB is quite a DC at Wisconsin I think. Wink Martindale signed with Chargers after teasing the Jets. Dennis Allen Mike Zimmer Gus Bradley Al Harris I'd love Brian Flores, but he re-upped w/Vikes.

That's not what Jerry Hughes says: https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2026/01/on-borrowed-time-this-ex-buffalo-bills-player-says-firing-sean-mcdermott-was-right-move.html

Maybe Moore shared everything - but then WTH did Payton glean from this data. The Bills turned the ball over 5 times. Broncos didn't stop the offense from scoring 30 pts. The Bills never punted. They simply gave the game (& ball) away! Denver couldn't stop the Bills unless or until they stopped themselves.

Confident? Too soon to tell. Was McDermott the issue or is it Beane? I actually agree w/Pegula that the Bills have hit the 'Playoff Wall' time & again and the HC change had to be made. But what does Bean do with his 2nd chance, remains to be seen. There are several concerns: Who will be the new HC, OC & DC? How will team weaknesses be addressed? WR, Pass Rush, run defense and thin depth in the back 4. Will 'strength areas' experience a back-slide due to coaching changes? (OL & Special Teams) Say what you will about McDermott, I liked him, but I cannot argue with his playoff defenses yielding ~24 ppg overall and ~29 ppg in losses. Pegula is right to move on from McDermott, but renewed focus needs to be made on player talent and that's on Bean. Bean complains that because they pay Josh so much, he cannot go out and get high-priced FAs. Bills wouldn't need high-priced FAs if he had more draft pick winners who are 'cheap' their first four years in the NFL. When draft picks whiff, it creates a need for veteran FAs and they cost more and therefore overall quality goes down. Everyone has injuries, but again, if the draft results were better and depth was stronger, the Bills could weather those injuries. When the new coaching staff starts . . . The offense will be OK with Josh at the helm, but they need a better WR group and some NFL-caliber passing game concepts. Will the Defense be OK? With McDermott's 'style' going away, will the current defensive players 'fit' into a new defensive philosophy? If not, there could be a back-slide here. Competition will be greater next year. The Pats improved, but are they for real? How will Baltimore and the Chiefs rebound? The Broncos and Chargers will be better next year. The Jags are good too. The Colts and Texans have QB issues but are tough outs. The Bengals continue to be owned by the Brown family - so WHO knows what we'll see from them. The Dolphins, Steelers, Titans & Browns are all question marks. Then there's the Jets and Raiders. The pressure on the Bills to win big will be immense. It all falls on Bean to get an upgrade to the roster weak spots. Secondarily, it'll fall on the coaches to coach-up those same weak spots.

And that's ALL he should have said. He didn't need to impugn McDermott's and Coleman's integrity/talent.

This. I have it on good authority (person in the building) that indeed it was a Bean power play. While McDermott's coaching, Bean is with the owner in the box or standing with him on the sidelines - bending his ear constantly to the point McDermott didn't have a chance. It's funny to hear Pegula say he made up his mind when he saw Josh crying - so we're to believe he made a knee-jerk reaction to fire McDermott and promote Bean in the instant he saw Josh crying? Keon Coleman didn't deserve Pegula's comments. Now we know why we haven't seen/heard Pegula in interviews - O!M!G! Kim was the brains and Terry is the fan. She's the one who wanted/hired McDermott. I fear we are going back to the dysfunctional Bills. I pray NOT!! I must admit I was glad I didn't buy a PSL & tickets if this is what we're in for.

Agree, see "Rex Ryan".
