Mike Florio picked the Rams to win 30 - 24. This makes me feel better because Florio hardly ever takes the Bills. Simms took the Bills 30 - 21.

He did but there are definitely times I remember that he overthrew guys in the end zone
Yep. Overthrew Sanders for a TD in the Steelers game. Hits that one and it's probably a different outcome.

The playing field has finally leveled off in New England. Belichick is a very good coach perhaps the best ever. However he no longer has Brady at QB, perhaps the best player ever, who they got for a 6th rd pick and never was paid at market value. Since Brady was "underpaid" they were able to afford other good players who under normal circumstances would have played somewhere else. Also players wanted to play with Brady and did so for less money. It was the perfect storm. Also throw in there the AFC East competition was incredibly incompetent during most of that time. I know people are starting to doubt Belichick now but not me. If they get someone who can evaluate talent they could be tough. Patriots have had poor drafts lately.

These "13 seconds" that gets referenced were truly emblematic of that Bills season, not a stand alone occurrence. As such, I was never upset at those 13 seconds as it was who the Bills were last season. Actually, I remain perplexed that there were larger screw-ups that season that impacted us missing the superbowl way more than the 13 seconds that gets overlooked. Cases in point:
(1) The 4th quarter 4th down play versus Pittsburgh in the season opener. Inexcusable on every level. Who calls that play?
(2) The Jaguars game. The Bills showed they were not quite ready to be "the team".
(3) The Colts game. An epic let down at an important part of the season, at home.
Interesting that some posters assume if the Bills win in KC they go to the superbowl, well reality indicated quite convincingly that Cinncinnati would have had something to say about that. Plus, to me at least, wide right remains the "bar" of emotions that would rise to being "upset".
In sum, the extent of being upset indicating your level of fandom is delusional, at best. They simply were not ready, and proved it multiple times last year. The key is, did they learn those lessons and will they apply them this year. I think they will. Go Bills.
I agree. Last season was a very uneven one. Some really bad losses where the game was lost at the line of scrimmage. We'll find out soon if the changes made were the right ones.

There are some games I don't rewatch. 13 seconds is the latest one.

One thing I really like about the older games is that there are very few onscreen graphics. I hate the tickers and all the crap they overlay on the screen. It's very distracting and takes up screen real estate. I just want to see the game without all of that snazzy stuff. It's a much better viewing experience and really keeps you focused on the game.
I'm old enough to remember games where the score was only shown on the screen when the game went to commercial break. It could be a few minutes if not more before you knew the score. I'll take today's graphics. It gives me the option of muting idiots like Chris Collingsworth and Troy Aikman.

WRs Russell Copeland and Bill Brooks and TE Lonnie Johnson. Ouch!!

So, is Singletary gone after this season, regardless of how good a year he may have? To me, extending Oliver would be first priority, but then you have Poyer, Edmunds, Knox along with a possible Davis extension. They can't re-sign all these guys. Drafting a RB in the 3rd rd with little likelihood of re-signing him appears to contradict Beane's mantra of draft, develop, and re-sign your guys. I mean it doesn't look likely that Moss gets re-signed either when his deal runs out. Like others pointed out, too much value being expended at RB position. The water is a little muddy in the RB room.

As a ‘hypothetical’, let’s say that they decide to activate Lawson this coming week due to projected 98 degree temps & they’ll want the DL as fresh as possible.
Who do you think would be ‘next out’ for being active?
I'd say either Moss or Cook. Depending on the game plan.

who are going to be the inactive's on game day ?
Sweeney,
Cam Lewis
Hamlin
Shaq Lawson
Hart
and one among Moss or Quintin Morris
If they dress 8 OL, they almost always do, they're allowed to dress 48, so 5 inactives. My guess is Hart, Lewis, Spector, Sweeney and Lawson.

Agreed and it is because it telegraphs what the Bills are running. Put Zack Moss out there he can run a route or he can stay in and pass protect. If defenses are able to key in on "it's Cook, it is basically empty formation because they are not going to keep him in the block" then that is gonna prevent him getting on the field as much as he should.
Now that the games count, I'm curious to see if Bills run 21 personnel and have Cook put in motion or have him split out wide after initially lining up in backfield. Try to give defense initially a run look and then try to create a mismatch in the pass game I.e. LB covering Cook.

That interior line depth is woofff
I think Hart is game day inactive and Quessenberry is third G. I'm skeptical about the oline depth chart. Unless Brown and Qberry are sharing RT snaps in this game.

I can really sympathise with Kim. Sad fact, my feed for the Bills is slightly behind for the televised games so, if I read something bad is going to happen on here, I quickly turn off.
If I didn’t see it, it didn’t happen.
If I’m watching a replay, and I know we’ve won, I’m not so fussed.
Have you ever tried watching a Bills game with the sound turned off? I do this at times and the games are less stressful to watch.

Beasley, Sanders, Williams, and Star are vets on the downside of their career. They helped stabilize the Bills' roster when Beane was tearing it down and building it back up and were solid free agent contributors. In each case Beane found younger players to do the job for less at the same or close to the same level. I think it's just the normal churn of an NFL roster in the salary cap era and nothing more.
Replaced by younger, cheaper players with more athletic upside. Von Miller being the exception.

I'm surprised at Justin Zimmer. That kid is a beast. You'd think he'd at least be a backup somewhere.
I think he's still recovering from an injury - knee? Wouldn't surprise me if Bills signed him to PS later this season.

Thurman Thomas was an absolute beast.
I loved watching Thurman. A very smart and instinctual player. A three down back. If only he had OJs breakaway speed.

Yeah, the classic rock stations just play the same ***** over and over. Finding a station with deep cuts is better or a college station. We have 88.5 here and they are pretty diverse.
The last Great Sabbath Lp... with no hits lol.
So true. They just pound the same songs into the ground. The Stones have over 400 original songs. In DC, you hear about 20 of them. It's really the radio stations and their programming that's the issue.

Eh... Sabbath music, up to and including Sabotage is pretty excellent... not in the same world as eagles/boston. I'll check it out for sure, even if he's hanging on to a guard rail.
The crap "music" they are putting out nowadays sucks, it's just horrible.
Years ago, Ozzie was on a TV commercial where he says "What's a Bieber?" Today's music pure garbage

Thought I just read he was back in England. He did not look well. I think he just did a live performance with Tony Iommi ... Ozzy needed a guard rail around him to stand straight. I hope he does play, he is awesome.
He's moving back to England sometime in January.

Who the Hell would claim Sweeney?
I don't know but if Luke Tenuta can get claimed I think a TE with 3 years of NFL experience can get claimed.

OJ Howard is my least favorite move. Especially hearing Beane say it came down to the wire. If it was such a tough choice I would have kept him and put Sweeney or Morris on the PS. Paying him anyway so could have cut him anytime if needed.
I think it was tough for Beane because Sweeney and Morris likely would have been claimed off waivers leaving Beane no choice but to cut Howard. Not a good look for Beane.

After the rookie was cut and they need a punter now, yes, a veteran was needed.
Martin signed a 1 yr deal. Beane tries to get a young cheap punter in the off season imo

I'm thinking Fish. Cheaters usually struggle down there.
Bills sign Dawson Knox to 4-year $53.6 mill extension ($31 mill gtd) through 2026
in The Stadium Wall

These are really good points. I would add the lack of a proven backup to Knox as another reason to re-sign Knox.
