I am not that influenced by what a favorite player endorses Sure, when I was a kid, I wanted to "Be Like Mike" and own a pair of Jordan's and drink Gatorade. Other than that, no.

Non Bills 1. The Lions, yes, the Lions represent the NFC in the Super Bowl 2. Aaron Rodgers gets hurt in October. He is named by the next President as Director of Conspiracies for the US Government. He accepts. He Does the job for the rest of the season and finds out his conspiracy theories were wrong or not that exciting. Bills 1. McDermott breaks a finger while clapping. As a result of clapping too much, he hires an offensive control clapper rather than someone to help him manage time. 2. Sedrick Van Pran becomes the starting center by week #6 and McGovern goes back to where he belongs: left guard.

Oh, good gravy! Stop it! Whatever it is you are thinking, conjuring, or playing as your own little fantasy GM, Just stop. Go back to your Dungeons and Dweebs quest.

I wonder if some no huddle offensive play calling/scheming would be good for this version of Buffalo's offense. I think doing so would help Allen get in a rhythm and help get everyone involved, especially with all the new WR's. I would love you see the Bills push the ball down the field on short to intermediate routes and keep the defense guessing a bit with Cook, Davis, Kincaid, and Knox offering variations of the offense. Most importantly, in order to keep Allen Healthy, a no-huddle approach in parts of the game helps the offensive line which has struggled to get the running game going and in getting points on the board.

Yes. Josh Allen gets us in the playoffs! Too many variables to say we are a legit contender this year (Milano out, patchwork safety group, some talent but unproven WR group, kicking game, and the OL gelling more). I see us at 10-7 or 9-8. One of the Tuna or Jesters make the playoffs from the AFC East also. Either Rodgers or Tua miss a game or two which will help. Matchups matter with seeding, but I see the ceiling for this year as a competitive loss in 2nd round. With the OC and DC getting this season putting things together, more salary cap space, some young players growing, and more draft capital going forward, the 25-26 starts our next Super Bowl Window.

Two views: #1. It is a preseason game. The goal is to find out the backend of the roster and work out some kinks. #2. The Bears scored 33 points, the offensive line was Swiss cheese, and the defense never rattled any of the 4 quarterbacks the Bears played. Verdict: It's a preseason game, and the Bills got a few major kinks to work out in the next 3 weeks.

Can't disagree with any of the above-mentioned names. A player/person that I admire and believe is probably well-respected is Larry Fitzgerald. He is one of my favorite non-Bills players. Great player and always appeared authentic, hardworking, competitive, and classy.

Romanowski, DeShaun Watson, Michael Irvin, and probably 5-6 current Kansas City Chiefs players. Add Jamarcus Russell who recently stole money from some school program after his "infamous" career. Definitely those on GoBills808 post with guys like Hernandez, Carruth, etc.

Ronnie Lott would be a fun read about lopping off his finger, how he played, and his experience in practices/training camp against his team's offense. Thurman Thomas writing about the highs and lows of their amazing teams, the K-Gun offense, the Bickering Bills, and playing college with Barry Sanders. I am sure there is stuff written about Lawrence Taylor, but a Biography on his upbringing, mentality, drugs, women, snapping legs, and Super Bowls would be a great read.

The information on personnel groupings was helpful as to his role within the offense. Maybe like an offensive lineman, not hearing about him is a good thing and makes him valuable. Hopefully he can kick on Special Teams if Bass can't get his game right.

I get the general gist of the FB position. However, I only played HS football on the defensive side and don't understand much about offensive line play, formations or schemes. I just wonder what he does so well that warrants a roster spot. I understand some teams like to "ground and pound" and a guy that is an excellent blocker, opens running lanes, and a guy that catches a few passes and handles short yardage carries as a power back makes sense for some teams. Gilliam does not seem to do that or the Bills offense. For those who understand Brady's style as an OC and the type of offense we run, does Gilliam become more valuable or remain an anonymous and somewhat puzzling roster spot?

If the team wants a proven #1 WR, then there are only a handful of those guys to trade for (Jefferson, Hill, Lamb, and maybe 1-2 other guys). Bills do not have the salary cap for that or the draft capital to get a player like that.

I think Terrell Bernard has the highest probability of being him, since he shares the same name of Terrell Bernard from last year, looks a lot like him, and his genetic code increases the chances of him being Bernard this year.

I like the idea of a question of the day. A good time is the week after the draft till rookie Minicamp or Training Camp. It's worth trying out. Happy to support whatever Moderators and longtime members feel.

Da'Rick Rogers...WR problem solved! Ko Simpson...Safety problem solved and he would probably play for free as he is worth millions! Cap Savings!

Great old school clip! As much as I miss some of the hard-nosed plays and what it meant to play defense back then, I think what I miss most was the continuity that came as a fan seeing the same players year-after year spending 7-10 years together.

When Beane said the team is "in transition" what does that look like for you in 2024-2025. For me, it means four (4 things). 1. Bills will be 10-7 and get a Wildcard 2. Bills will offload Miller and Knox and will have more cap space heading into 25-26 season 3. Bills will focus on finding a new punter and kicker. A #1 DE and #1 WR will be key components to move forward with their 1st and two 2nds. 4. All eyes will be on OC Brady to see if he can have both a solid passing and running game that is consistent and not too predictable.

These are all true statements. With that said, other than a handful of people in the world that know where Kutztown University is, keep in mind that that their were less teams, more rounds, and maybe one grainy video or two to dissect Andre Reed's game. Bills had a good GM at that time. Reed was great. He was the 2nd option for Kelly behind Thomas and occasionally Lofton. In summary, Reed in 85-86 versus Coleman in 2024-2025 as far as analysis is a lot like comparing CGI capabilities in movies 🎬 from 85 till today as it relates to player evaluation. Keon Coleman may have a good career but there is a million times more information, analysis, video, and resources to make it more likely that Coleman will be at his peak a #2 whose skillset and production scream a #3.

Samuel 920 yards Kincaid 880 yards Shakir 650 yards Coleman 550 yards Cook 475 yards 800-900 yards from everyone else. Allen 4,300 to 4,400 hundred yards. Hopefully about 5-7 more passing TD's, less rushing TD's as Cook, Davis, and other backs get more, and 5 less INT's.

Kincaid is very promising. Cook made a great leap in year #2. They are good. I hope I will be proven wrong, but they do not yet create nightmares for any DC. They could become that. The only #1 is Allen right now. Outside of Buffalo and sport stat fanatics, Cook and Kincaid do not register on the "scary good or elite" scale. Kelce does. Mahomes does. Jones on their Defense does. Coach Reid does. The reason why Bills want a #1 WR is that the margin of error is so small when you have only one (1) match up nightmare and the best teams have 2+.

A #1 receiver/TE is someone that consistently makes big plays and can have a 100 yards or a TD fairly regularly. They can beat you with production, a big play, or a high pressure situation because they've done it before and everyone knows the QB is looking for them. Their presence forces a defense to account for them often creating easier opportunities for others. Diggs had the numbers of a #1, he had the right QB, but there was very little around him so the offense was usually a one-trick pony. Moulds or Evans could have been but did not have the QB. Reed, Lofton, and Thurman Thomas made a 3 headed monster were all 3 could individually or collectively serve as a #1 in various games and matches with a QB. There are few #1 WR's or TE's in the NFL, probably no more than 10-12 at a time. #1's cause nightmares. Kelce always gets the first down. Hill can get a 50 yard TD anytime and get a 100+ any gain. Guys like Jefferson can make a good QB look like a 1st ballot HOFer. Harrison Jr, Nabers, and Odunze all have the potential to be a #1. Brock Bowers if he gets a QB. Brian Thomas looks like a possible #1 with the right coaching, work ethic, and an environment. Keon Coleman looks like a #1, really is a #3 right now, who with the right environment may become a solid #2 at his peak.

I think your view on Coleman is better-stated than mine. There were 3 receivers who I think fit better and have more potential. I would have preferred (if available) a receiver at #60, however, I think the size speed, and versatility of Bishop was good value. Was the Bishop dislike because of McDermott obsession with DB's or more of concerns about Bishop's ability or character? Thanks!

Thoughts on the overall picks in the draft? This can be as a result of other players available, value, position, or preference Like: Cole Bishop, Sedrick Van Pran, and Javon Solomon Ok: Tylan Grable, Daquean Hardy, Ray Davis Hate: Keon Coleman, DeWayne Carter, and then all the other picks. Draft Grade By Positions Needed: C By Talent/Value: D

WR Franklin, Rice, Baker, Walker, Flourney OL McCormick,G Van Pran, C, and Bortolini, C and Limmer, C, C. Jones, OT RB's Guerredo, Allen, Estime, Gore Jr QB Backup Options: Milton or Rattler DE/DT Davis, DT, Jefferson, DT, Boyd, DT, Booker, DE, M. Kamara, DE, Solomon, DE LB Eichenberg, Spreights CB Jackson, Devonshire Stiggers S Hicks, Oladapo, Mustapha, Carlies, Taylor P...some competition (Taylor, Rekrow)

Good player...good pick...and a need. Now, maybe we can get Franklin by trading up early in 3rd with our 3rd and maybe some of our day 3 picks? I don't know.
