1. You've been a fan since - 1989. Born & raised in Chicago-area, loved the mid 80s Bears as a kid, but decided Bills were my team in 89' & never paid attention to the Bears again. 2. Your first Bills memory - Beebe getting somersaulted onto his head vs Browns in 89' playoffs. 3. One of your favorite Bills memories - When we signed Bryce Paup. I've never been so excited over a FA/trade acquisition since. Maybe because I was still a teen, but it was like Christmas morning for me. 4. Your favorite player of all time and your favorite player currently - Bruce/Josh 5. Some of you guys have some awesome forum names. What does your forum name say about you? - Lucky number

I really wanted Isabella in the draft. He's surprisingly barely been used by Arizona, 31 catches in 36 career games (49 targets) over 3 seasons in a heavy passing offense. I'd love to get him, but if AZ loses Kirk, they probably have a use for Isabella & will keep him.

Just watched a Muma 2021 highlight vid. Noy only is a he a playmaker, he tackles guys low & drives them back nearly every time, something I've only seen Edmunds do a handful of times in 4 years. Sign me up. That said, I'm not sure a LB from Wyoming who isn't particularly fast is going in the 2nd round. He's also diabetic, that may drop him to round 3-4.

Looks just like the WNBA Championship parade they had in Chicago a few months ago.

I just pray they don't end up with Rodgers. I'm not sure if that's even a possibility with their cap situation, but a scary thought. If/when Trubisky leaves, I think Wentz could be a decent option as Josh's backup. I'd much rather have him than Dalton or Tyrod...

For those questioning Sam Mills, here's some insight. Remember that it's the "Pro Football Hall of Fame", not the NFL Hall of Fame, his USFL career counts. Mills was All-USFL all 3 seasons he played there (all-pro equivalent), won 2 Championships, and a member of the USFL All-Time team. He didn't play in the NFL until he was 27, and still made 5 Pro Bowls, also 3 top-10 finishes for DPOY. Mills was an absolute beast, and an inspirational player & person. Watch his "A Football Life" episode, it's the best episode I've seen.

Totally agree with you. A few contributing factors off the top my head: - It seemed like we ran less crossing routes than in we did in 2020, especially early in the season. - Beasley wasn't breaking away like prior years, going down within 2-3 yards of the catch more than he used to. - Diggs was bracketed the majority of the time & didn't have as many YAC opportunities. - The OL was pretty bad for more than half of the season, causing Josh to get rid of the ball early, resulting in more low passes that had receivers sliding down to catch. - We barely used Gabe Davis for half the year, and he's solid in YAC.

I posted some harsh criticism on Knox prior to this season, and was annoyed when we cut Hollister with no proven TE on the roster. Knox made me eat my words. He's not only good enough, but he's the stud TE we've been looking for forever. I hope we do lock him up a year early.

The Texans job is just another placeholder, whoever takes it knows they'll likely only be there 1 year before they get the Culley treatment. It's as bad a situation as any NFL job could be. No idea if Frazier would've even taken it, but he'd have likely ended up with the same fate. Lovie's career record as HC is 89-87, Frazier's is 21-32-1. So I guess there's some basis for their thinking.

Murray not going to baseball, that idea is such a joke that the Cardinals wouldn't even take the threat seriously. His NFL contract is $35.6M, his contract with the A's was for $4.6M (which he had to pay most back). Even if he did want to pass up 7x more money & play baseball, it's not like he'd just go play in MLB right away. He'd need a minimum of 2 years in the minor leagues to be ready for the big leagues, if ever. Tons of 1st round MLB picks never make it out of the minors, or do get a shot & can't stick. Not to mention that he probably hasn't hit a baseball in almost 3 years. There's a 0% chance Murray would give up NFL stardom to go toil in the A's farm system for years, at a fraction of the money he's currently making.

My father in law used to work for General Mills, he has unpressed Wheaties boxes of the Bills Champions from all 4 Superbowl years.

I'd bet 90% or more of Amazon Prime members have no interest in watching Thursday Night football. It's BS to make all members pay to cover that contract. It's like Sirius/XM radio charging ridiculous subscriber rates to cover Howard Stern's contract, who less than half of subscribers even listen to.

They should stop voting in Kickoff & Punt Returners then, leave that roster spot for a deserving position player.

Doug Marrone is an available OL coach...

The Rooney Rule by definition forces teams to put a list together of the best "black candidates", separate from the "best candidates". And unless one of their top-3 guys is black, it will always result in a fake interview to satisfy the rule. The rule was never going to work. I wonder what happens when a black candidate asks in the interview "is this interview just to satisfy the Rooney Rule?". Teams obviously can't admit it, but both parties know that often times it is exactly that. Frazier hasn't been looked over because of his skin color, it's because he wasn't good in previous HC experience, and his defensive philosophy is considered old school or antiquated by many. Bienemy was a hot name for a while, but he reportedly has interviewed poorly when given a shot, and teams are wary of his actual involvement in Reid's offense. Nobody is passing on him based on race.

We're gonna have a hard time signing any good free agent DEs when all we can promise them is 59% of the snaps. Our DL players can never make All Pro or Pro Bowls because they don't play enough snaps to get the necessary sack & tackle numbers. The rotation sucks, just spell guys when they need it, like the other 31 teams do...

I think there are ways to circumvent the rule that allows Beane to block him leaving. Daboll could offer Johnson the O-Line Coach job, with a secondary title of Run Game Coordinator or something, which would then qualify as a promotion.

His overall numbers are rather mediocre, aside from TDs, but he is a much bigger weapon than a mediocre TE. Knox actually plays TE, most of the other guys listed in this thread are actually just big WRs & don't line-up inline much, that's huge. The good news is, that he will likely be paid like a "pretty good TE", but has the potential for a 1,000 yard, 12 TD season.

Kelce is an elite player, but what he did against us wasn't all him, it was our defense letting him (and T Hill) do it so easily. If Knox had traded teams with Kelce, he'd have done the exact same thing in that game. All game, Mahomes was completing throws to receivers that were wide open by 5 yards. We stayed in the the soft zone with safeties way too deep, and KC just kept running zone-beater crossing routes. Every time, Mahomes had multiple wide open options to not just catch the ball, but get a bunch YAC since our defenders were so far off. We didn't even force Mahomes to take any chances, the few poor throws he made were just mistakes on his part.

I don't get all the love for signing Gronk, we aren't going to start featuring 2-TE sets. Would we really want to take Knox off the field? While Gronk is a still a savage blocker, he's nowhere near the athlete he once was. Knox is a major weapon, and one of the most athletic TEs in the league. We definitely do need to add a TE2, but more of a backup to Knox.

When Fonzie jumped the over the shark on water skis, it was the moment that made it apparent Happy Days had no good stories left to tell and had to resort to something crazy to inject excitement into the show. Same thing when a show adds a kid to the mix after it starts to decline, but that's still "jumping the shark".

We need a change in Defensive philosophy. The "bend but don't break" soft zone Defense doesn't work against top offenses with elite playmakers. Aside from Kelce's TD, I don't think Mahomes completed a pass that had a defender within 3 yards. We made his job so easy. Even when Mahomes needed a miracle, there was a guy wide open for a 20 yard gain... Twice. We can beat average teams with Frazier's D just fine, but it's not a championship winning defensive style.

Titans are also in cap hell. They'll be parting with talent, not adding it through free agency.

I'm sure they're doing plenty of other leg exercises during the season, so they're keeping the strength & mass up but not doing an extremely harsh exercise. I like it.

It's crazy that Horrible Harry was a healthy scratch during the same season that he's playing like he is now.
