I am going out to my personal heated outdoor bar. large TV and at least one laptop open.... Pizza, wings, Beer, cigars, friends, and laughter.

Nope... we are moving to a Full 3-4. With Miller as a full time rush LB. We are going to draft the largest DT in the draft to be a nose. 😜🍻

I agree... frankly there should be a age limit when it is under -10 degrees. But this is America and you have right to make bad decisions....

Thanks you... I personally love Muck Boots... kind of ugly. But they are serious cold weather boots. I literally walk in small streams and puddles in the winter and I don't care... bone dry. But do you want style or be warm? 🤪 https://www.muckbootcompany.com/mens-snow-winter-boots/

I don't want to be mean... but modern high tech clothing and battery operated clothing, foot & hand warmers.... There is no excuse for this. You have to prepare for weather that is worse then predicted. I spent many years in a Military cold weather unit. I have been trained for extended cold weather exposure. My rules for people in my group that go with me for games: Assume the stadium is 10 degrees cooler then the thermometer. Why? The concrete literally sucks heat way. The seats in the 300 level are metal. That sucks the heat from the body. The entire stadium is a natural refrigerator, when it gets below 40 degrees. Yes, just at 40 degrees... it is like 30 once inside in side the Stadium. If you get wet and cold...it is a life threatening condition. Staying dry is super important. Once wet, you will lose heat 3 to 5 times faster... or more. Do a little self test of this...Splash a bit water on your face and step outside today for a minute or 2. You will see how fast you will get cold. Exposed skin with -10 degrees wind-chill will damage your skin under just a few minutes. Cover up. Bring 2x or 3x the amount of hand/foot warmers that you think you need. They never last as long as you think they will. One of those companies even have body patches. Get them. Amazon sells them. Also, someone in your group will forget to bring them. Help out people in your row. Mafia sticks together. Going to a game in January is not about style... it is about warmth. Yes my hunting clothes has no Bills colors (except my hat). But I am never ever cold. Layers... layers... layers... spend the money this spring and buy heavy weight long underwear. It is on sale. The new stuff is pretty thin. Get the really warm stuff. Lower the alcohol intake. I am not saying don't drink. Just lower your normal intake a little bit. Being drunk you lose heat very fast and you body really does not react to the cold. Your temporarily fooled into feeling warm (that does not last any way). Get serious waterproof cold weather winter boots at least 400g of insulation (I wear 1000g)... wearing sneakers is just dumb. The parking lots always have water and mud. You must keep your feet dry. For $100-$200 investment, you might save getting toes amputated. That doctor bill will run in the thousands of dollars. For single guys (or girls) being toeless because you were dumb and not prepared is not attractive. You see player without sleeves, don't be fooled. They have very high tech stuff underneath and head right back to the warming beach a lot. They are not exposed at the same level the fans are. Plus they are expending a ton of energy... keeping them warm. Notice the heavy jackets they put on. Lots of those are heated. Just prepare and even in the coldest game you will be actually warm. I actually try to be the warmest person in my group. One person in the group has to be prepared properly just in case of an emergency. The warm person can think clearly. I know that most experienced Bills fans know all of this... but I might have just helped a 1st timer that is not from Buffalo at a January game.

This had to be done..... Look at the young talent we still have now... even before the draft!

I love this.... We were getting old and slow.... Poyer gone, Neal gone, Hines gone, Hyde gone, Morris gone... don't drag it out. Rip the band aid off NOW!!!! Clean up the cap NOW. We are old and slow in safeties. This does not mean these guys are not in our hearts forever... but we need to get aggressive to clean up the cap.... Constant restructure and extensions will have to come due eventually. Sorry, but we have ton of draft pics and we were quite old. Kelly, Thomas, Reed and Smith (among others) were all getting old and expensive so over 2 years we got rid of them all. We have been through this before... except Josh is still here with a top flight TE, WR, RB, 2 LBs and a solid OL.... all in or near their prime.... and Josh is not Todd Collins. This is going to be painful, maybe only 10 wins this year... but worth it! Because in 2025 we can reload completely. You cant keep playing the cap game.... you have to get younger and faster....

Brown is fine for the rest of his contract. Draft a very raw, high ceiling guy in the 6th round this year. Then lets see how it plays out when Brown's contract is up in 2025.

The Bills are going well under .500 for the 2024 season. Beane is going to clean out the salary cap now, make trades for draft picks for the 2025 draft. The good news is that Payoff is a 2025 great season with young amazing draft picks and free agents.. The 2026 season will be be historic in the new Stadium with a Super Bowl win..

I hate to say it but I am in a little bit of a panic mode this off season. Chiefs won the super bowl and are $25 million under the caps. We are getting pretty old in critical positions and are $50 million over the cap. Von and Diggs are not cuttable/tradable because of their dead cap money. White has had 2 major injuries in his legs and is not getting younger. Our Safeties looked their age at the end of the year. A. Epenesa will get a big dollar offer from someone. L Floyd is a mercenary and will take top dollar. I don't see Greg Rousseau getting massively better, he is decent and will always be just decent. Yeah, I know that there will be a boat load of restructures and contract extensions to get us to resign a guy or two so a decent contract. But extensions and restructuring just pushes the cap issue down the road, effectively making everything much worse in the future. There is some hope.. it is not all a nightmare.... Kincaid, Shakir, Torrence, and Cook might be the real deal. Justin Shorter is huge and decently fast. Rasul Douglas is the real deal. If Milanio comes back near his old self, we have really good young LBs that step up this year a lot. Dorian Williams was a rookie and come on late in the season, imagine a good pro training off season for him. a potential 3-4 defense not a dime defense on 1st down with our young LBS. Tommy Dolye is a decent depth piece. Hines will come back at a lower price/extension. I have not given up on Kailr Elam as the 1st guy off the bench. Taylor Rapp will resign. We need to have killer draft.... almost a perfect draft. We need a DT that is 400 pound sumo wrestler to occupy 2 lineman. Oliver is best when he has a hippo next to him. An heir to Diggs as a #1 WR. maybe 2 great WR Smart athletic Safeties a DE... (yeah I know we always draft a DE) An heir to Mitch Morris. That can play both center and guard A late 7th round development QB with a high ceiling. We have been lucky with Allen's health. A fast and nasty hard hitting Safety or LB.. late round. This is super hard to hit on all of these... but for once Beane can't just have a good draft. He needs to have a great one. The future of the salary cap demands it...

Everyone is going to hate this take but.... trade up as high as we can to get the best guy. Push all the chips in. We need an amazing WR. 90% of this roster is Super Bowl ready. We jut need a super star opposite S Diggs. White and Miller will be back to form.. the Defense is good enough. We have a slot guy, RB and TE.... The O-line is decent.... Barnard with M. Milanio will be amazing. Go all in and get the absolute best WR. There rest is just a depth draft.

Beane will do an excellent job of cuts and restructures, I am not worried about that at all. The bigger problem is Beane has to hit several home runs in the draft and cheap FA's. He finds decent cheap FA's because of our reputation as a good team with a good culture with a top 5 QB... but we need home runs, Like Douglas (I know he was a trade)! Beane will cut some aging players... the issue is he needs to have an amazing draft for once. Not just a good or decent one. One of those drafts that people talk about for years. That is the only thing that will keep us relevant with our high cap numbers for the next 5 years!

Suh says he want to play for a contender...

We do have the cap space for 3 games on a cheap vet deal.
