Yes, one year. Look three posts above your own.

Per the Bills, it's now official. https://www.buffalobills.com/news/bills-sign-g-brian-winters

All good posts and pretty much sums up how I feel. There wasn't really an option to choose that fit for me. I'll be more excited when I see the season actually kickoff. With no hitting in training camp, no live camp reports, and no preseason games, it feels like more of an abstract concept than an actual football season. Couple that with the fact that the season could start and stop at various points or shut down entirely makes it feel like a house of cards precariously ready to tumble at any minute. As Kirby stated, it feels like the Bills are real contenders for the first time in several decades and we should all be feeling more excited than many of us currently are. Life in 2020 (sigh)...

Honestly, who doesn't "put their family first"? We're hardwired as humans to do that. That said, the reason why any of these players chooses to opt out is irrelevant. They don't need fan approval. This is their right based on what was collectively bargained for between the union and the owners. If fans have a problem with it, they should take it up with the NFL rather than attacking the players. It's misplaced anger and nobody really knows these guys or their individual family situations. Will it suck if Tre opts out? Of course, but it's his right and his call to do what he feels is necessary/best. That should be the end of it. This is not a normal year and there is still a chance that this season either gets shut down or severely curtailed. Perspective and a little empathy go a long way in life. GO BILLS!!!

T-minus 25 hours and counting...

There was a 'Red Barn' on Lakeshore Drive in Dunkirk, my dad's hometown. I remember it as kid in the '70s when we went to see my grandmother. The building has survived and is currently operating as 'Pizza Village' (below), directly across the road from the Dunkirk Marina. My image from the '70s is the 'Sears Winner II' sneaker. I had these bad boys in green and in red (the split suede over nylon) when I was in middle school. I thought they were awesome when I was a kid. ❤️

Yes, unfortunately.

Tony Mandarich and Ryan Leaf concur.

Honestly, I don't know why Deion is so bent out of shape. Vince Lombardi's bust looks nothing like him either. The head seems a little too oblong...

Yeah, no thanks. It's not 1973 when rookie QB Joe Ferguson set a Bills record for fewest pass attempts in a season (164). Turn the kid loose and see what he can do. If McDermott and Beane are as intelligent as most believe, then they should have figured out by now that sustained winning in today's NFL is predicated on a very good, if not explosive, offense not a great defense. Relying on your defense to carry you year in and year out is not a sustainable model for success as defensive volatility is too great from season to season. The Bills will be faced with some tough financial decisions regarding their D very soon which could set it back from the elite status it currently has. An average offense will not overcome an average defense. Defensive guru or not, McDermott will last longer as a Head Coach in the league if he establishes a great offense and an average defense than he will the other way around.

Yeah, I got that. I was just giving some context to @YattaOkasan 's question. They mentioned KC and DAL as teams to watch in 2020. It doesn't take any deep-dive analysis to come up with that. They really went out on a limb there.

Joe Marino of 'Locked On Bills' has mentioned on more than one occasion that the Bills were in '11 Personnel' a shade over 70% from, I believe, Week 11 (?) on last season. You would think that would logically (hopefully) continue with the addition of Stefon Diggs.

That's about as 'off color' as his language would get. That's akin to an f-bomb for McDermott. ? Good for him by leading by example.

So Winters back to the Jest for a 5th sounds about right. J-E-S-T...JEST, JEST, JEST!!! Jest fans upon reacquiring Winters: "I nevuh wanted dem to cut 'im anyways. I blame Gase and Woody! But a GREAT move by Peedason to get 'im back. Dey don't know what dey're doin' up in Buffalo. We fleeced 'em. Wait...wut position does he play again?"

No. It makes you a long-suffering Bills fan. There are few...maybe no...fan bases less knowledgeable than Jest fans. They are a mostly mouth breathing lot.

Given the Feliciano loss, this was a no brainer and fits Beane's m.o., IMO. They weren't finding better depth on the street at this point.

My wife's grandmother turned 96 this past July. She's slowed down, obviously, but she's still sharp as a tack and has never worn glasses or contacts...although her hearing (or difficulty with it) is like you'd expect from a 96 year old. Happy Birthday, Marv! Here's to hoping for more.

I say replace it with this...now we're talkin'. Best hair in Canton!
