  1. The NFL made its own bed with such sponsorships and allegiances to sports betting including a team in Las Vegas. I expect to see more of this and worse.
  2. Robert Woods. He killed it at USC and I was ecstatic when the Bills picked him. Not bad but never a star.
  3. how do you start a thread about something visual without including a fresh link of what the heck you are talking about?
  4. SG is an emotional competitor. Nothing that strapping them on fresh for training camp won't cure.
  5. My dream for the Bills is and has been Iowa TE Sam LaPorta who unfortunately is not on the visit list. He plays like Gronkowski 2.0 and a new mock by CBS Sports has him going to the Cowboys at 26. Sure hands, nose for the game and demonstrated high YAC.
  6. An RB is only as good as his OL. The thing to take some load off JA is if someone is OPEN on every pass play - which is where a tall, athletic TE would fit as an option to the slot receiver. Proven blue print and the Bills do not yet have it.
  7. Watch the film (videos). Sam LaPorta is the Italian Gronk. A big, tall athletic TE is a proven blueprint. Josh would kill if the Bills had one.
  8. It's an annual tradition for us to make wings for my family on super bowl sunday. this year's batch cost basically a buck a wing, from the supermarket! $60.00 for uncooked wings for a family of 4 not including oil, sauce or accessories!
  9. The winning blueprint calls for a big, fast, athletic TE just like the Patriots had and the Bengals, Eagles and Chiefs have now. The position is so critical for maintaining possession and scoring. Dawson Knox is good but he is not excellent and plays much smaller than his 6'-4 height would indicate. The Bills have so many needs but if a player like this is available the Bills need to take him.
  10. It was a bitter loss and although it was "one game" it had a lasting effect because the team didn't have any other lopsided loses last season and it was a home playoff game under very high expectations for us and the players. The fact that they had no other lopsided loses is a good sign. The loss happened for a variety of reasons- 1) Effort and execution. The Bills had a decline in their emotional effort because of the reality of the events that happened in the previous game with Cincinnati. The game plan was off on both sides of the ball, players were straining for motivation and pressing while the Bengals were cool and calm professionals. 2) Familiarity. If the previous Bengals game had been completed, the Bills could have learned from that game and it would have been much closer. Studying video is one thing but actual game time gets them much more familiar with each other. 3) Roster match ups. Of course out of balance roster match ups in critical positions had a big influence on the outcome. Our OL vs, the Bengals DL is likely the worst case, with our coverage LBs and DBs vs. the Bengals WRs, RBs and TE (they really spread the ball around) was imbalanced as was our DL vs the Bengals OL in run stop and pass pressure. Our defense had their worst game of the year and our run game was non existent. The Bengals are now the target team to beat, much like the Titans were in '20 and '21 and of course the Chiefs. The Bills responded well to those teams and their off season will now need to focus more on beating them from a roster and game plan perspective. I have confidence they can do it.
  11. road to nowhere. rogers throwing to garret wilson?
  12. This is really messed up and puts the Bills in a quandary on a few different levels. If taking a year off is not in his contract the Bills are basically being accommodating and will likely plan on his return, which screws them for a true DC hire. McDermott can certainly do the job but may be overloaded. How often is a coach successful if he does double duty as a Head coach and DC?
  13. Tag is damaged goods after the Dolphins forked him over by letting him get two back to back concussions and then a third in the same season. If I were he I would look at legal actions. Not sure if it makes that much difference because the Bills had a tough time beating Skylar Thompson.
  14. The pressure has always been there, it is the nature of the job. A super bowl was the goal but they are still a very successful team and the regime has earned their stay for a few more years at least.
