According to Wikipedia, the first mention of the "12th man" occurred in 1900 at the University of Minnesota. Many fan bases have been called the "12th man" since. Are we honoring them too by putting "12th man" on the wall?
I like changing what's on the wall to "Bills Mafia" because there's only one Bills Mafia.
Additionally, the "12th man" is sexist and leaves out the Mafia Babes and our other female fans.
This is a good point. “12th human” would be more inclusive.-

No here. 12th man is a specific in-game reference, especially the impact of Bills fans at games going way back. Bills Mafia extends beyond the game day experience and is a year-round, all worldly group. For me, being on the wall reflects the in-game experience and impact element. And Bills Mafia is just an extension of the 12th man, in my opinion.

He’d be a great #3 option. We need another real playmaker.
The only way I say Gabe comes back on a second contract is because Kincaid pans out to be a true stud and receiving threat, and Gabe takes a smaller deal
If Kincaid pans out as a true stud already this year, I see that lessening the chances of the Bills signing Gabe. Davis won’t and shouldn’t take a smaller deal just because someone else is really good.

Their Defense is rather frightening
Don’t be so frightened, Warrior. Their Defense was definitely good last year and whoever Sauce is covering will likely have a slower evening. But we’ll be unveiling some whole new looks to our offense that the Jets will not have seen on tape, with personnel that gives Josh several more options than last season. The reigning AFC East champs are not going to lose to the Jets in New Jersey two years in a row. -
We’re gonna whoop them in Week 1. The masses don’t realize it yet, but Beane and McD got this team restocked this off-season and they’re hungry. Even if the Jets end up being any good, they’re going to have some kinks to still work out in Week 1.

I’d be willing to kick the tires on Brady for backup QB, on a team-friendly, vet minimum type of deal.
😀
If Tom Brady brought a Super Bowl victory to Buffalo, would you take it???😎😎😎

If the Tier 1 requirement is that a QB has to be able to win as a “passer” only, then I can get why one might not put Allen on Tier 1. But one could also argue that the Tier 1 requirement should just be ability to win, regardless of how that’s done.

Very nice, Big Turk. You only live once in Ohio.

Cost us a Super Bowl too.

You think Mcdermott would sign up for that? Maybe he’d let them stay for a wild game of bingo after the Sunday mass, but idk, that’s cutting it.
Part of teaching the defense to hold for longer than 13 seconds. -

That’s a long time to spend with coach to not be tempted to ask about 13 seconds, Diggs, and Leslie Frazier’s exit. Not that he’d give you the details to any of those stories, but if it was me I’d have to ask!
Def would be interesting to get the chance at hearing those details, but agree that McD probably knows enough to limit what he says about those situations, just like he is with the media. -

BOGO: Two random players in the same story: Min Max Anderson and the incomparable Preston Ridlehuber.
When I was 10, the tv announcers reported that OJ's backup, Mini Max Anderson, was taken out of the game because he had broken some teeth and swallowed his tongue after being hit so hard that his facemask broke.
I asked my mom if it was even possible to swallow a tongue. When she said 'yes,' for years I suffered a deep and irrational fear of swallowing my own.
With both OJ and Mini Max out with injuries, third-stringer Preston Ridlehuber came in. Ridlehuber's main claim to fame was scoring the winning touchdown for the Raiders the previous season on a fumble return with 33 seconds left. But no one in TV Land witnessed the greatest play of Ridlehuber's otherwise dismal career because the broadcast had been preempted by the television presentation of "Heidi."
In Buffalo, the Ridlehuber magic struck one last time. Late in the game with both his quick and exciting backs hurt, Coach Rauch drew up a halfback option in the dirt on a third-and-short situation. It was supposed to be a short pass to the TE but Ridlehuber heaved a pass downfield to Haven Moses for a 45-yard TD to win the game. Ridlehuber never touched a football again.
Great story! Apparently his normal jersey 37 was ripped during the game too, so he had to wear 31, which ended up being retired by the franchise until 1991. Never knew that. -

He has plenty left in the tank. The issues were money demands, reduced practice schedule demands, and leadership/locker room concerns. Still potentially a great signing for the Titans.
Given the issues you noted, probably a good thing the Bills stayed away. -

A lot of 6th grade nonsense going on with these dudes.
Danny Boy plays for keeps. That part about the Blackmail PowerPoint is hilarious.I would LOVE to see what’s in that PowerPoint…

I keep asking myself we did the guy drop so far? He feel for a reason. Many were saying he's a good run blocker and a poor pass blocker. Hopefully, he can contribute this season. Hard to get overly excited about a rookie playing in a Bills win now mentality.
Reminds me of the Cody Ford situation. We will see how he play.
It’s a fair question. I don’t claim to be an NFL talent evaluator myself, so hopefully Torrence proves a lot of teams wrong for passing on him.-

Very excited to see what Torrence can bring to the table.

So we love to play zone coverage, and Elam and Dane give up some of the most separation in zone coverage? Is that on them, or by design that they play off more than other CBs in zone coverage?

It seems to me that the defense is much different from last year’s. The 2023 defense appears built more on speed than the previous. The addition of Leonard, the speed of Dorian Williams and the re-signing of Oliver makes this defense a whole bunch faster, equating to getting to the QB quicker and more often.
McDermott knowing or realizing this he may have wanted to be credited with spearheading a defense like this, one that suddenly gain an uptick in turnovers and sacks, would make his image a bit more shiny.
No. Re-signing Oliver does not make the team any faster than before. The additions of Williams and Leonard both happened after he decided he was taking over play-calling. And who knows how much Williams will even get on the field over the other LBs on the team.

The only ones I could find. But there might be others.
https://www.panthers.com/news/ron-rivera-among-growing-list-of-head-coaches-calling-plays
Looks like Ron Rivera did, Vic Mangio, Dan Quinn, so some others to add to the list in your original post. I found it interesting that Rivera actually took over to give Eric Washington time to grow and eventually learn how to call plays.

Are they the only four?

Bills can’t make the list over the Dolphins until we take back the AFC East, right @Airseven? Oh wait…
I think he was like 3-13 in predicting the outcome of Bills’ regular season games last year.
