OK, since I've been here since the beginning [1960] here's my take [46 spots ]: QB: Kelly, Allen RB: OJ, Cookie (fb), Thurman, Fred WR: Reed, Frank Lewis, Lofton, Moulds, Dubenion, Butler TE: Metzelaars, Reimersma. [Bills have not exactly had HOF TE's] OL: Hull, R. Brown, Joe D, Shaw, Wolford, McKenzie, Wood, Ritcher, House DL: Bruce, Sestak, McDole, Ted Washington, Kyle, Pat Williams, Schobel LB: Talley, Stratton, Shane Conlan, Bennett DB: Byrd, Tre White, Robert James, Saimes, Gilmore, Odomes, Mario Clark, Clemens K: Christie P: Moorman ST: Tasker Ret: McGee Obviously OJ and lately Bennett would not make the all-character team.

As an original Bills fan since 1960, Cookie Gilchrist was a fullback. Offensive tackle Stew Barber said, “Cookie was a tremendous blocker. He could take a defensive end and throw him aside with no trouble at all. He was very strong.”

Josh Allen is bigger, faster, quicker and with a stronger arm than Favre. The job that Daboll and Dorsey [& Palmer] have done coaching him up from the "Wyoming" Josh Allen is remarkable.

NFL Network is saying that Cam being unvaxed factored into the decision. BB playing three dimensional chess.

I don't see Kumerow clearing waivers. I think he makes our 53, or is picked up by someone else. A player with his size and wheels who has ball skills will be in demand. I also think as thin as we are at Tight End, that his size is helpful in goal line sets. I also think if we go heavy at the goal line, Spencer Brown was at one time a tight end.

Siran Neal - McD loves special teams.

On Sirius NFL yesterday, Pat Kirwan was saying that he knows GM's that will be cutting unvaxxed players if they have other options. Be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Is Rosseau, former receiver, a goal line option on offense. Impressive size.

With the Pegula's wealth and the Bills History, is this really necessary? Highmark is not a Buffalo brand, and they have taken jobs out of Buffalo to their PA HQ's. Just Saying. Bills Stadium works for me.

TSW may consider me a RFA, but I am an original Bills Fan since the day they were founded in 1960.

Apparently Highmark has actually laid off some former BC/BS of WNY employees, but they have money for naming rights?

Original Bills Fan, in 1963, told my mom all I wanted for Christmas was Bills playoff tickets, ($6 each). Got them, game was in the Rockpile. Our seats were in the bleachers, created by pushing the snow down with a garbage can. Bills lost that day, but next two years were epic.

Brady was the only player in the league whose wife made more money than he did. He didn't have to maximize his contract.

Also wondering if Star will tie up more folks in the trenches that our interior DL did last year, meaning a little more space for the ends. 4.63 is pretty quick for a 265 pounder. Sounds like with his long arms, he will also be in the mix for the FG block team.

At least a couple of Pundits think Oweh may fall to the Bills, he's the second rated edge in the draft, physical freak. Apparently runs a 4:33 at 6-5 260.

Re Brown, Quoting Top Gun, "I feel the need for speed". Josh will eventually have a receiver he cannot over throw.

Lifelong Bills fans remember people like Darryl Talley. He is 60 with Brain Damage. Luke made the right decision.

Think about this, tho. Davis, Winfield Jr. Whitehead, and Murphy-Bunting had a combined cap hit in 2020 of $5.1 MM, less than any single one of the Bills starting DB's. Buffalo's Defensive starters had a cap hit of $75MM, Tampa's defensive starters cap hit was $68MM (16 of that was Shaq on a franchise tag). Our front 7 stunk against KC.

Didn't we once run an elite offense built around a tight end called the "K-Gun"? Metzelaars might not be Gronk level, but he made a bunch of clutch catches during the 4 falls of Buffalo. Metzelaars finished his 16 NFL seasons with 383 receptions for 3,686 yards and 29 touchdowns in 235 games. At the time of his retirement, his 235 games were the most ever played by a tight end in NFL history.

As I said Ali Marpet played D3 football in the finger lakes, and we drafted Ronald Darby who is just a guy. Marpet will be an all-pro LG for the next 5 years, he stoned the KC rush.

Since hindsight is always 20-20, In the 2015 draft we picked Darby, later that round Marpet, who played college in the Bills home area, was available, he was a STUD yesterday. Whaley and Wrecks didn't know what they were doing. Marpet is 27, has a lot of good years left. Guess the front office figured Incognito was sane.

We gave up a huge play to Hill, a huge play to Hardman, and they've been running the shovel pass to Kelce on the goal line for a while, and our defense was clueless. Just Saying. This wasn't all on the offense.

4 sacks for 53 yards. Josh at times needs to learn when to tuck it and avoid getting clobbered.

Have we given up on Star? He is the epitome of a space eater.

Remember that the Patsie's got a team discount from TB12 for years, Doubt Josh's agent will be interested in a discount. Of course Brady is likely the only player in the league whose wife is worth more and makes more than the player.
