A bit surprised Bass is still on the team. I understand we couldn't find a new kicker 12 months ago for cap and contract structure reasons. But he's a below average kicker who I'd feel bad about trusting in pressure situations, and the financial cost of replacing him wasn't prohibitive this offseason. Must have been no one we liked in the draft or no perceived better free agent options.

While this year's Hard Knocks is incredibly boring I agree with the posters saying boring is good for the Bills. No team wanted to be on the old, entertaining version of Hard Knocks with roster drama and cuts and all for the negative effect putting all that in public would have on the team. Bad for viewers is good for the Bills so I'll take it.

I miss when they used to do stuff introducing a bunch of bubble players where some get cut and some don't and all the suspense around that. I said to my wife I'm surprised that with how much they've followed Joe Andreessen and mentioned he's a bubble player they don't mention how Baylon Spector's injury significantly impacts Buffalo Joe's chances of making the team.

Weak season of Hard Knocks so far. It's just kind of slow and not that entertaining.

Patriots are by far my least favorite team for the 17 years we never made the playoffs and they won the division seemingly every year. We didn't beat them for like nine years. Bills and Patriots have never really been good at the same time though, I'm surprised Patriots isn't more people's snap answer. Of course the whole AFC East are rivals but always Patriots most hated for me.

First episode focused a little too much on Josh for me. Obviously I love the guy and understand why Hard Knocks would focus on him but was hoping to see more of players who don't get tons of camera time. Also I accuse Terry of excessive meddling in the Sabres and multiple times I have gotten the "well, we only get edited video clips, so we don't REALLY know how much he meddles." Which is fair, but my counterargument would be that if you’re a huge Bills and Sabres fan and watch most videos both organizations' media teams have put out over the last 10 years and your synthesis of hundreds of hours of clips is that it seems like he meddles too much, he probably meddles too much.

I feel like Cook and Beane are both making the rational moves in their current situation and Cook will play out this season and then we'll see

I just don't see a path for Elam becoming even an average NFL starter. Other than athleticism he doesn't do anything well.

2018 when the Rams rolled Todd Gurley who got injured, Malcolm Brown who got injured, John Kelly who got injured, and signed CJ Anderson off his sofa who came in and played awesome convinced me the value of running backs maybe isn't so high above replacement. I feel like the list of RBs who've done well after big contracts is basically Saquon and Adrian Peterson maybe and that's it. Though I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Cook is a good player, but I just don't think at the RB position one player has enough added value over their backup to be worth a lot of the team's salary cap.

I believe the refs helping the Chiefs win games is certainly more than could be expected by statistical randomness or luck

This guy is awful. Everyone on the internet is dumping on him, his brutal cartoon, and TBN this morning. Deservedly so.

From 2021? Only comes out after he gets drafted in the first round? Obviously will wait for all the information to come out but this seems like a money grab on first impression.

Sounds distinctly like loser whining

Spencer Brown

Yeah, OP is not correct. I live in Utah and watched Cole at U of U and he is an extremely willing, aggressive, and downhill tackler. Not an ounce of hesitation in the guy.

Around the Horn was good 15 years ago. Not a fan of the selection of talking heads they had on more recently.

Trey Hendrickson is never coming to the Bills for cap reasons. My biggest hope is he separates from the Bengals and goes to the NFC to weaken one of our AFC rivals

My grandpa robbed a liquor store in the 1940s and got a year. Bank robbery is a serious crime and he deserves to go to prison but 32 years seems like a little much.

Seen multiple posts on X this morning about how people think Dorian Strong is looking good.

To be fair I remember Rivals had Clowney as the single highest rated player in his high school class across all positions. He wasn't quite like McDavid in hockey levels of hype coming out of high school, but Clowney was definitely one of the more highly regarded high school football players I can ever remember going into college.

Seriously. Massive feather in Beane's cap not to pay big money to extend Davis or Edmunds.

Wasn't sad to see him go because we knew he'd get massively overpaid by some dumb team. Turns out the Jags were that dumb team. When he signed that $13m/year deal with the Jags I'd have taken him back with the Bills for closer to $3-$4m/year. He's a great blocker and I have no ill will towards the guy for being massively overpaid (I'd sign that deal too!) so I'd be alright with signing him for cheap here and seeing if he can help.

Seems like a best player available pick. Which I have no problem with.

This UConn OT looks like a BPA pick. Seems to be a bit higher on big boards I'm looking at then where we got him. And I have no problem with that.

Safety, 1 tech DL, WR, maybe RB where I'd go today.
