He is soooo grounded!

Sports fans, especially the Mafia, are great fun. One wish I had for the average fan is a greater respect for injuries and their resulting limitations. Both here with Amari, and the shade being dropped on Kinkaid, show that lack of respect. The margin for success among the NFL's world-class athletes is razor thin. If someone is playing with an injury, that margin is gone. Back to Kinkaid, I am excited to see what he will do in '25.

I can add 15 pounds in two weeks. Muscle? Not so much.

@MikePJ76, You are energetically presenting this as an open-and-shut case; theft, multiple rapes, and conspiracy, where you have found the truth over a lack of due-diligence by law enforcement, the University of Kentucky, the Buffalo Bills, the NFL, and the media. Do you have a personal stake in this discussion?

The cry of "give Josh more help" is forgetting what having a premier franchise quarterback is all about. He has that huge contract because he can do so much without needing premier talent around him. Beane built a quality offensive line to protect Josh. From there, the Bills piece it together every year. This is what having an all-time great QB looks like. We have not made it to the Super Bowl because of our defense. That is now being addressed. How well? We'll see.

Thanks for the prompt. I just watched it myself. He came off so good, I was thinking, "Is Max for real?!" I am loving everything about him. It sounds like he got his degree in 3.5 years. So many "Wow" factors.

Do we know that Beane has not made an offer? Do we know that Beane has not made a fair offer? What do you believe a fair offer is? This is why Cooke is negotiating through social media, to get folks to make assumptions of unfairness from Beane.

There's that word again. "Elite" is the most overused and least understood term on this board. Beyond his father's bank account, there is nothing elite pertaining to Shedeur Sanders. "Very good" may apply in college, but is probably a stretch when compared to NFL quarterbacks.

Awesome. You said it better than I did. 😊 Right on!

I haven't read through this thread, but already see some uncomplimentary thoughts. Fair enough. I am divorcing myself from wins and losses here to say I love Trey White and am thrilled he is back. He is an all-time favorite of mine, and the world is better when he is wearing our blue and red. Disagree and toss your negative emojis at me all you want. I am a happier Bills fan this evening than I was this morning. FWIW, I was already happy this morning. Yay Trey and go Bills!

Agreeing with you, I’ll add that a strong, run-stuffing DT frees the rest of our front seven to be more effective by tying up blockers and eliminating the need to compensate. With the remainder of the DL able to focus more on penetration, our corners don’t need to cover as long nor our safeties crash as hard. Our lack of strength at 1DT had a cascading effect with the interior vulnerability compromising everyone. With a big-boy pick #30, we can automatically bolster the performance of the other ten positions.

This is such a lazy and dishonest take. "If you want a blocker in the backfield line up an o lineman." OK, then pay Cook like an offensive lineman...say $5 million per year? "if they had put in Cook in that last series..." I'll play the "if" game with you. If Cook hadn't whiffed on a previous protection assignment (putting Josh in harm's way), he might have earned the right to be in the game. "I wish Andy Reid had taken Tyreek Hill off the field with 13 seconds left cuz he cant block." You seem to not know what position (WR) Hill plays and that protecting the QB is how the ball gets to Hill. Cook cannot do the full job of a full-time running back. I hope we keep Cook. He's a very good and dangerous running back. But, he overvalues his worth. Personally, I want him signed at $8 million per year for three years with 16 mil guaranteed.

Cal Ripken Jr. says hello.

Your post indicates you don’t know what “elite” means. Just say, “very good.”

I couldn’t disagree more. Beane has gone through our first contract players and extended all of them quietly and fairly, for the player and the team. If Cook wants to reset the market and break the Bills salary cap, that’s just too bad for him.
