I'm the same tbh. Once you reach a certain age it takes a bit more effort to get you in the dancing mood & even then it can be a workout, so theres a time & place for it for sure. But I've been an electronic music dj since I was shoot 20, so I have friends who are promoters & run nights at various spots around town where I'll get an occasional gig or make an appearance. I produce my own music these days because I've moved beyond that younger lifestyle, but still know enough that you can do better than blast some ghastly train whistle every other minute

That whistle really is in Madden? I havent played a Madden game in years but if its the same exact whistle I'd probably demolish the stadium & move the franchise elsewhere. Anything other than having to hear it while playing a game... it'd drive me mad lol

Literally EVERYONE i've talked to about this agrees that the train whistle is not only annoying, but its downright embarrassing. As far as the lore goes of the team, it doesn't even make sense or fit in with our team. The sound of a Buffalo stampede makes the most sense, stampeding Bison would work. Perhaps even just having Native American drumming. ANYTHING BUT THE DAMN WHISTLE! The whistle is the equivalent of a siren playing at a dance music club. It was cool the 1st time u heard it 20 years ago, but now when it plays it makes you cringe. Please, just make it stop

Its pretty much common knowledge that the NFL has become a passing league. And prior to Milano & Edmunds, the big knock on our linebacking corps was that they lacked the speed required in todays game. Deficiencies we've seen for years trying to cover Gronk for instance. There may be quotes in comments prior to his selection that state this, but it should just be a given that we needed to get faster at the LB position for the purpose of being better in pass coverage.

Allen will most likely be gone by our pick. However Devin White from LSU could be there. Dude plays fast & has a high motor. Believe he won the Butkus award this year as the best linebacker in the nation. He could be a good fit for us

Super Bowl bound baby!

anyone that doesnt suck. The bar is set really low so that should put a lot of players on the radar lol

Clay & Thomas need to go. The real toss up question would be which TE out of those 2 would you rather keep, because I wouldn't want either of them here. With roster spots at a premium you just can't dedicate 5 or 6 years on a project tight end with his type of production. He may have good physical traits but they're not that great lol. We haven't had a good TE here since Chandler or Metzelaars which is a big problem imo. They create mismatches on defense & help your QB out. Something Tyrod & Allen desperately needed. If theres 1 thing we do this offseason PLEASE get a good TE

I think we all know who really is to blame. Its our team for winning 5 games this year. Wtf were they thinking? Shoulda gone 0-16 & focused on whats important. Where's their head at? Anyways silly thread aside, Merry Christmas TBD

True it wasn't Allen's best game but if Foster & Croom make those catches, we're probably looking at this game a lot differently. Not to mention the turnovers as well. The drops have been an issue all season long. Next season i imagine we'll have a few new bodies at WR & I don't doubt at all that our offense will look much improved. We as fans tend to have knee jerk reactions week in & week out. One week Allen is compared to Jim Kelly on here & the next week he's a bust. Overall I'd say Allen has made improvements with reading the D & going thru his progressions & overall looks to be getting more comfortable out there. So I'm not in the 'sky is falling' crowd, but yeah dude sorely needs help out there.

Its Christmas guys. Why do this to yourself during the holidays, focusing on the disappointments of the past? Think of the future & how bright it is now that we have a clear cut franchise QB. Hope springs eternal & i'd rather look towards the future than think of the past's coulda woulda shouldas. Lets beat the Patsies this Sunday! GO BILLS!

thats a lot of ifs

Me personally I just think Zay would be better off in the slot. Asking him to be on the outside where he doesnt have great size or speed, where he can't get good separation, just doesnt seem to be working out... as many probably would have expected. Put him in a slot role, where he runs slants over the middle of the field & i think he can be serviceable. But yeah dude hasn't lived up to his draft position & he's mos def not a #1 wr. He's not even a #2 imo

I don't pay for the BN but in the little part i read, it said that KBenjamin didnt know what to do, what role to play. Geez, how about just catch whatever balls are thrown his way? How about run routes with a purpose & as if youre running for your next contract? To many fans & observers alike, if KB just would've done that, we more than likely wouldn't be having this conversation... as least about him. Sigh haha

I have 5 boxes of the Flutie Flakes myself. Hopefully 1 day those of us that have them will all get sick together

They have workers there who are helping out with the snow removal, but also keep a general eye out over everyone. They'll generally leave u alone to shovel the snow, but if they see u slacking off or hanging out with a group of people, they'll come over & give u the ultimatum of either work or leave. I got away with doing as little work as possible when i was there before, but my friend was pissed at me bcuz he nearly thru his back out shoveling, while i was drinking a flask of whiskey with some guys & smoking, whenever i got the chance. Hey it was cold out there

Just a word of advice for anyone that does this. Make sure to keep good track of the hours you work. As in the past I've known people who've gotten their pay hours shorted. Also they don't pay you at the end of the day. They send you out a check in a week or 2 or I believe u can go back there to pick it up. But if you're looking to get some quick cash, just know that you won't be getting it that day. Make sure to dress warm & it wouldnt hurt bringing something to drink with ya. As all they'll provide is water from one of those 5 gallon gatorade jugs... if ur lucky. I did this back a couple years ago. Dont think i'll ever do it again haha

With Shady its hard to point the finger at 1 thing as the reason for his disappointing season so far. Because imo its not Shady thats changed, its the cluster***** problems on offense that we have. The line, the qb debacle thruout the year all play a big part in it. Its almost like the Tyrod effect, where defenses dont respect our passing attack & cheat towards the line of scrimmage. There's not a lot of daylight out there & as the game goes on Shady probably tries to make things happen where he shouldnt bcuz he's so desperate to do something. Thats not saying i think he's played to the best of his ability bcuz he surely hasnt. But i do believe the problem is more on those other circumstances than it is on him. Plus it also doesnt help your running game when your teams been blown out 5 or 6 or 7 games out of 12. Like others have said, this game isnt a make or break game for Shady. I wouldnt even put it at this season for him. But it should be make or break for other players. We're all counting on some substantial off season upgrades. Hopefully it happens, for all of our sakes.

I'm happy for Nick as he seems like a class guy. But as a Bills fan i'm glad he's not on the roster anymore & as i've said before, I can't wait til Logan Thomas is gone too. How much time, how many seasons do you waste a roster spot on a project TE? He's been in the league 4 years now... i think its time to move on lol. Hopefully this offseason TE is one of those positions we finally upgrade.

he's not the only one, Trumps 1st dinner as president was an overcooked $54 steak... with ketchup. Thank the Gods he didnt buy the Bills https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/trumps-first-dc-dinner-as-president-an-overcooked-54-steak-with-ketchup/2017/02/27/c98895b4-fd19-11e6-8f41-ea6ed597e4ca_story.html?utm_term=.aa3980deb838

They won the game today behind a QB they decided to bring in & that in turn means they dont know what theyre doing? Seems like sound logic. Enjoy the win... We may not get many of them to enjoy this year

well you can bet that our offense will be a lot simpler this weekend, given how Barkley has just got here. If he had more reps the OC would build upon that playbook & add more wrinkles & options. You can look at this situation like you have posted, or you can look at it how the coach recognizes that Peterman is hurting this teams chances more so than helping & out of desperation he's going with Barkley. Thats pretty much where we're at right now. Desperation time. Me personally, i hate losing & especially the way we're doing it, but I knew going into this that we were bottoming out this roster to make our move this offseason. I'd rather go thru these pains & be horrible, all to build this team to be a championship contender, then living thru mediocre 7-9, 9-7 seasons for all of eternity. Time will tell as it always does, but i dont think those preseason comments are nonsense. Its just that we're in a pretty rough spot & are just looking for someone to get us thru the weeks now lol

True. But i dont see how he can come out ahead after forfeiting $14 million, plus while hurting his reputation in the process. I mean to make it up say he plays for another 5 years. He'd have to get a salary increase of $3 million each year just to break even. Is any team gonna offer him $18 million per year on a 5-7 year deal? After missing a whole season? I think he made a mistake personally. Perhaps his agent gave him bad advice idk. Tbh idk too much about the whole affair, but I'm glad he wasn't on our team. Any future GM's will have to thoroughly vet this whole affair before offering him a contract. If i were a gm i'd have a hard time offering tons of guaranteed money, knowing at some point Bell might decide its not good enough. Like i said i'm just glad he wasnt a Bill haha

In todays NFL, short passes can act as ur running game. QB's such as Brady who can get the ball out quick with good accuracy just dink & dunk down the field & then the plays down the field open up. I'm not gonna comment on our Bills offense however bcuz we already all know what the issues are. We've discussed them in depth ad nauseam. I understand the frustration, i hate losing too. Heck making suggestions that we should throw it deep bcuz an interception would be as good as a punt anyways just goes to show how bad things are around here. But seriously, thats not how u win football games is it? If we're talking yolo let it fly cuz ***** it, then sure why not. But i think you'd lose the locker room at half time, more so then what might be the case already.
