    What Makes the Mafia Special?

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Do you wear Bills gear?  Then you would know what makes Bills Mafia special.  Always, even during the drought, Bills fans go out of their way to excitedly meet me, as I do when I see Bills gear.

     

    Loyalty is a virtue, and Mafia have it in spades. 

     

    Every NFL fan knows a good amount of huge heartache we have experienced together.  They don't even know the whole story.  When they hear it, people are blown away by what we have been through, and it how only makes us more rabid fans.

     

    I respect all good fans, and every team has them.  Buffalo Mafia is all inclusive, and world wide.  The Buffalo community and Bills are are more intertwined then any other team.

     

    Doesn't feel great how Mafia responds to tragedy and player injuries?

     

    The way I describe Bills fans to other fans- every Bills fans is all in.  There is no casual Bills fans.  All Mafia loves the Bills to different extremes!

    Any Chance of Playing Some 4- 3 Next Year?

    3-4 we would have to draft and sign a few more LBers.

     

    Right now, we are pretty much set at LB, and we have massive holes at DL, Edge, S, and WR.  Let’s start filling holes, before we dig more.

     

    we have limited cap space and need our draft picks to fill roster spots at more urgent positions.

     

    PS Taron is awesome!  Why take him out?

    I’m a huge record collector and one thing I look for is oddball albums, such as those by sports figures.  I’ve been looking for Schoeny vinyl, so far I’m still looking.  Recently I acquire Shaquille ONeil - I’m so Awesome lol

    At least Hailee gets a ring.

    I have a friend, who when I was single, she was a friend with benefits, and she likes the Bills.

     

    She used to joke with me, "isn't it great dating a fellow Bills fan?  Best part of dating Bills fan, you dont have to give me a ring".  LOL

    Did they have any in playoffs?

    We had 55 sacks last year with multiple huge injuries on the D.

     

    Floyd, AJ, Joseph, Jones, Settle, and Phillips are all free agents now.

     

    We are $50 million over the cap, and we need to field a 53 man roster, and replenish 6+ DL

     

    What is your plan for DL in 2024?

     

    I think Beane has done a fantastic job putting together a great roster, top to botttom.

     

    The fact is, our D stopped KC the last 3 drives of the game.  3 chances the Bills offense had a chance to score 3 points ,and the Bills offense failed 3 times.

    DaQuan is a must sign IMO.  He is a local, coming off injury, and you can see the improved D  when DaQuan in the game.  He won't break the bank.

     

    AJ.  AJ was having a breakout year, before he suffered injury, which hindered him rest of the season.  AJ is young, knows this system, and his arrow is pointing up.  Do cap gymnastics.  Make it happen.  Von, Roos, AJ- we need pass rushers!

     

    We need DL bodies, and we like to roll deep. Settle.  If price is right, yes,   Poona and Joseph both played great when given chance.  Again, right price, yes to all of the above

    It is very troubling to me. Rousseau, Elam, AJE, have definitely not panned out as of yet. Rousseau shows flashes but disappears way too often for someone of his caliber. Same with AJE, flashes but that’s it.

    Our drafting has to seriously improve or we will continue to be paper tigers when it comes to the playoffs.

    We had 55 sacks last year!  With all of the Bills injuries- we had 55 sacks!  Thats one away from a franchise record!

    Bills Receivers worst in drops in the NFL since Brady took over

    They started throwing more bubble screens to Diggs early in games, and it seemed like alot of those fell incomplete. Then mix in Cook, Gabe, and Knox dropping one or two a game each, and that's the bulk of them.

    Most of Knox's drops were when he was playing with a broken wrist.  Diggs wrists are not as broken as far as I can tell, but Im not a doctor

    any casual football fan that watches most teams can easily see the Bills WRs drop more passes than any other team.

     

    Other teams catch everything against us, making unbelievable catches.  We drop easy TDs.

     

    Other kickers hit 50+ yarders in the rain when the game is on the line.  Bass gets the yips on extra points.

     

    Buffalo is so good that they make mistake after mistake, and still win.  If they ever tightened up, and mastered basics, the Bills would be a Dynasty with Josh

    2024 WR Draft Class

    He's a solid player and would be a good fit for us but I'm hoping we don't use more then 3 mil to sign any Wr in free agency. I hope we attack the Wr position in the draft. We need to draft 2 Wrs in first 5 rds and they need to play heavy snaps in 2024. We need a burner and a yac monster to add to Shakir, Diggs & Kincaid. 

     

    Adding a vet would keep the rookies on the bench and I rather have those young players getting much needed experience so by the playoffs they will be battle tested sort of like what Balt, KC & GB did this yr. They stuck with there young Wrs and by the end of the season they were settled in there roles and contributing at a high level . 

     

    I would like to see what little cap space the Bills have be used on Safeties and Dlineman. This is a loaded yr for safeties in free agency u have players like Xaxier McKinney, Jeremy Chinn and Darnel Savage these guys won't break the bank and can contribute immediately in our defense. We can sign a new tandem of Safeties for relatively cheap. I would love to see Chinn in a Bills uniform he would be great in our system. There's a lot more safeties available it's too much to mention them all Antione Winfield Jr and Kyle Duggar are also available but I didn't mention them because they'll cost to much to sign. Basically use the draft for a couple of Wrs and the rest of the draft and free agency for the defense. 

    I agree with your post.  I would like to see us sign 2 WR, and draft 2 WR first 4 rounds.  I would also like to see Bills sign minimal 4 DL/Edge, and 2 Safetys.  A budget RB who can block, short yardage would be nice too.

     

    WR, WR, DL, DL, Edge, Safety, Safety

    are our most pressing needs.  Beane's MO is sign useful players, at positions of need, value signings prior to draft.  That way we do not enter draft with glaring holes.  We do need bodies, so I think we make many budget signings.

     

    There has been a sea change in how free agents view Buffalo.  Buffalo is a powerhouse, we have Josh ***** Allen, a new stadium on the way, and a rabid, iconic fanbase-  Buffalo is a hot destination for free agents now.
