Even though Tre had the biggest DB contract in history at the time of his signing, the way the deal was structured, from the very beginning I viewed it as being a very friendly deal for the Bills, especially considering that it was extended out and that if you averaged out the years remaining it ends up being even less than what it appears on face value. I just hope Tre doesn't become slightly resentful about the explosion in the DB market valuation. Both of the DB's signed for considerably more money.

Would love to see it, but he's still good enough to get playing time either as a starter or as a very high end back up. Not enough $$ to make it happen at this point. Maybe in 2-3 years

That's odd, how is that some yokels from a Bills football message board knew this would be the case yet many of the so-called "experts" didn't? Some of us have been way ahead of some of these infectious disease doctors on many of these COVID issues. How can that be? I'll tell you, one thing that I have learned about this entire COVID experience is that it has so many different layers to it and although people like Fauci and crew have value, it takes more than doctors and experts to come to good decision making. Data aggregation by data experts who know how to sift through data and come to statistical determinations are probably one of the most important if not most important people that should be part of the decision making. The infectious disease experts while valuable in helping understand the underlying disease are limited in scope. They sort of have tunnel vision and just like any doctor, they are trained and used to saying to taking the "safe" and precautious route in just about everything. Of course, taking the safe and precautious route has real world implications which in this case involves deleterious effects in wrecking people's livelihoods and mental/physical health. They hate Atlas, because Atlas is in the spot light and truth be told, they probably honestly believe that he is giving reckless advice. I have seen and heard what Atlas has said and there is nothing that he has said that I can think of that I disagree with. The things he is saying cannot be 100% verified at this time, and going back to what I said earlier these doctors are cautious by nature and Atlas is giving advice that doesn't fit that mold. But what he says is backed up by statistical probabilities on data he's gone through. I wish he would have been employed earlier by the Trump task force but in my view he is definitely who Trump would want out there. These other guys keep saying contradictory things and what they say is very alarmist in nature.

I’m not worried about the defense. They will come around.

30 - 24 Bills!

Lockdowns and extreme social distancing measures kill. More people under the age of 50 have died as a result these policies than the virus itself. The worst global public health policy response of our life times.

Stop being a hard head and just admit that your wording wasn't correct. Lock downs means that things are shut down and people are not able to go out except for necessary items. "Sweden may consider additional social distancing measures" That would more accurately describe "lock downs"

So you decided to quote a post to contradict what you said and to own yourself? Ok

That's not what is being considered. Where did you get "considering lockdowns too" from? I read the article, nowhere did it mention that. I think we know why you did that. From the article:

I don't believe now is the time, typically one of the best windows for organizations to make a Super bowl run is during the QB's rookie contract. If they were to extend him next year, they probably wouldn't want it to affect the cap all that much in the near term so that they could enjoy having the luxury of having a franchise QB at a much cheaper rate. Because once his new contract comes into play, the Bills are going to have to make some very difficult decisions and let popular players walk. While he is on that rookie contract, the Bills can keep pretty much most players that they want to without any immediate noticeable drop offs in talent. Just gotta keep drafting well as they have been.

The Bills can struggle with Play Action. Philadelphia last year ripped them up with it and Fitz as well. I wouldn't be surprised to see both teams score in the high 20's, 30's.

It's pretty astounding to see how far along the Bills Receivers have come from just two short years ago. Where the Bills had arguably the worst WR corps in the entire NFL to now arguably the best WR corps. The addition of Diggs changes the entire makeup of the offense. Brown was a solid #1 WR for us last year but we really had no #2 with Beasley as a good #3. Now with Diggs who is a bonafide superstar #1, that makes Brown a top end #2 and then you have Beasley who is another higher quality #3 and thrown in the Rookie Gabe who is a star in the making and add McKenzie in to boot for a fifth WR and we are absolutely stacked at the WR spot. Running the 10' set makes too much sense. This is what you call playing to your strengths and I love it! Daboll is showing his mettle.

I started a thread in this back in April, and it’s amazing to see with the information that was available back then Closely matched up with the same conclusions as today. Which was that the focus was too heavily direct COVID impact centric. Health policy officials and the media failed, they viewed COVID in a vacuum. The media we understand why they failed, they don’t care about what is right they care about Democrats winning elections. They are a broken institution. The health officials should have seen this from the beginning. If non health officials like us saw this coming then why couldn’t they have seen it? A complete failure.

That was their largest failure and they would be the first to admit that. In hindsight, the correct policy response would have been to keep most businesses and society with common sense social distancing measures and not allowing large groups to gather in confined spaces. Deaths would have gone up initially but the overall amount of deaths would have been lower as there wouldn’t have been nearly as many of the non COVID related excess deaths. Not to mention the tremendous damage on the economy as we have seen. Trumps instincts to have society open back up are right but his inability to show enough empathy is a reality he is facing now with voters. With that said the political damage he would have faced months back would have been enormous if he had kept everything opened up. Even though the country would have been much solid footing at this point than it is now.

I've discussed this and linked lots of things pertaining to excess deaths. Tremendous amount of excess deaths are Non COVID related. The vast majority of them are people younger than the age of 50. The draconian shut downs and heavy social distancing restrictions will go down in history as a colossal health policy response failure. This virus was so much less worse than what it was made out to be. I said it early on. the shut downs and heavy restrictions will have a far greater overall negative impact than the virus itself.

Edition #137 in Sweden got it right Meanwhile, Europe is going through their second wave and are considering new lock downs. This is now a settled matter, for those that doubted Sweden's approach, just come out now and say you got it wrong.

Orlovsky also said this morning that up to now through the first two weeks, Allen is the MVP. The hosts of the show were skeptical and understandably so but the bottom line is that Allen is balling right now.

Allen- superstar in the making Diggs - The difference maker - Beane is a genius Gabe Davis - Wow! Will be a star in this league.

With Tiny Dancer playing in the background. When I first saw this I thought someone added the song to the background but that was actually playing when they asked him that. Surreal

For some odd reason fans have been trying to drive him out of Buffalo almost from the start of his career here. I've always maintained that he's above a JAG level player, and he's good enough to be part of this teams D-Line rotation and we have a pretty good D-Line. The idea that we should just cut him without installing his replacement never made sense to me, it's not as if the Bills are in a cap crunch.

Interesting that the two routes were deep passes to Diggs. Jet's played two deep safety and a lot of zone against the Bills, taking away the deeper passes but got ripped up with the short stuff. My guess is that Miami will play more man and if protection holds up will net some attempts from Josh to the wide outs for deeper passes.

Well, Okay..... But it doesn't work that way.

I look at Allen and I view it as a Frankenstein project and little by little he is being built into a bad ass QB. He came in extremely raw with all these physical tools, the thing he really had going for him in his first year was his rocket arm, great mobility, extreme competitiveness and desire to be better. That alone made made the offense entertaining to watch but he lacked the precision, awareness and confidence. Then his second year, he had all the same traits as the first year but then he became slightly more accurate, he was able to see the field a little better and his intermediate range passes were much more accurate and overall he was more precise but still lacked the deep pass accuracy and his episodes of "Josh! WTF did you just do?"/ Now he's in year three and he has built upon everything that he has and now appears to be seeing the field much better, he is more patient in the pocket, more consistent with his rhythm passing. He's a work in progress but the great thing is that he is willing to do what it takes to get better and year after year he is continuing to ascend. Let's just hope he can connect better with his deep passes and stop with the fumbles. If he can do that, which I believe he will, we have a big time baller as our QB.
