I don’t care where Singletary ends up…his production is easily replaceable- and likely will be by our new RB…👍
If Singletary’s production is easily replaceable why hasn’t he been replaced? No other RB has beaten him out and they’ve had opportunities.

3 years between $12-15 million total, $7-8 million guaranteed, with an out before year 3.
Singletary is a good player, good teammate. Unless he has a significant spike in numbers he won’t be an exorbitant contract no matter where he would go. No reason for the Bills not to keep him. Even RB’s should be able to earn their 2nd contract from the team who drafted them. Not all RB situations are the same. The above type of numbers wouldn’t stop the Bills re-signing Oliver or Knox.

Seems weird to not share them on social media. I don’t go to The Athletic to search for articles, I go and read them when shared on Twitter.
He usually provides a link to the articles. My guess is he was getting a vacation in before camp started.

“The deal is already looking more and more like a bargain for the Buffalo Bills before the quarterback has even begun playing the years in that extension as he is playing this season in the final year of his rookie contract.”
Mad props to Beane for getting this deal done at the right time even when some were worried if 2020 was just an anomaly.
Also mad props to JA for having the drive, desire and worth ethic to already make his extension look like a bargain, one he hasn’t even gotten paid for yet.

Definitely.
But if Allen continues playing as he has, that deal will be re-worked at some point and his money will be back at/near the top of the league.

Here is what is crazy...
Ive been looking at tickets for the Rams game because a suite invite we got back in May is looking like its gonna fall through with couple that was getting now looking like they wont be in town. I live 6 miles from SoFi here in CA.
For the price of 2 decent tickets, I can instead buy flights, hotel, and better tickets in Buffalo to watch the Monday night game in Buffalo week 2 than just go to the game at SoFi. Its freaking nuts.
So started looking for tickets again, and its crazy. I know a lot of people who normally I could get tickets from, but they are either going or just can sell for too much money right now, which I dont blame them either way. Anyone I know who has decent to good seats is able to sell them for $900 to $2000 a ticket. Its like this is a playoff ticket or something, its absurd.
Affordable tickets are the high nose bleed seats where I will spend most the time watching the jumbo tron while I eat crappy over priced food and drink $18 beers. If I am gonna just watch a game on a screen, I might as well do it at home on my 85" Sony and beach party all day with friends and BBQ up some bomb food and drink what I want. Then instead, fly to Buffalo for the Monday night game and have way more fun.
Never would I have ever thought in a million years I would consider skipping a Bills game in my own backyard...but at these prices, I think I would rather go to Buffalo for another game with better seats and for less money and better tailgate.
I get where you’re coming from. The prices are insane. I bought my ticket last month, cost me about $700. 11 rows up in the end zone. My wife outright refused to go. I think she’s some type of sorceress because it took me a loooong time to press that purchase button. I kept hearing her voice in my mind saying all the pragmatic things she has said over the years when I want to spend too much money. Only the Bills could break her spell. But it was close. Thing is she encouraged me to go by myself. So now I feel like I’ve been trained somehow.🤔🤔

yeah me too. Apparently not - Jamie was a sideline reporter for CBS according to the blurb but I can’t remember a single time I saw her on the sideline of a Bills game, most of which have been on CBS locally.She was prominent on college football games. NFL games she wasn’t with the top few broadcast teams.

Babe Ruth is the most dominant professional athlete in major American sports history. When he hit 54 homers in the 1920, the next best guy - a star in his own right - only hit 19. Babe was hitting at another level: a staggering 184% better than the next greatest long ball hitter that year. The next year, the story was pretty much the same: Babe was 146% better than the next biggest star.
But what about football? The NFL doesn't have a Babe Ruth. Brady is great because he's been one of the top 5 QBs in the league since our own star QB, Josh Allen, was in kindergarten. Yet Brady was never - statistically anyway - far and away the best QB in the league in any particular season. Not the same way Babe was.
There are, though, two NFL players who do come to mind when I think about dominance. You've got to go back a few years back to the time when the best athletes became RBs and defenses were designed to stop & destroy those backs. In 1973, OJ had 75% more yards than the next best RB. Ten years earlier, Jim Brown had 70% more yards than the #2 guy. Both these guys were transcendent, mind-boggling talents.
In Brady's most dominant season, 2007, he only finished with 8.7% yards more than the next best guy. Brady might be the GOAT. But in their prime, OJ and Jim Brown were more dominant.
Babe Ruth was dominant against the players he was allowed to play with/against. From what I’ve read Willie Mays might be the most dominant as an all around baseball player: hitting for average, hitting for power, fielding, base running, etc. and he did it at a time when his competition wasn’t filtered.
Jerry Rice is my answer. He was a machine.

In my 50+ years as a Bills fan, I've never seen us deal well with this kind of thing. Hopefully we're learning cause it's coming from all sides now.
According to CBS Sports, we have the top roster in the league...
And poor Dawson Knox doesn't even get a mention...
Expectations are good things. The Bills ARE good with a lot of talent. The Super Bowl teams got a lot of hype too and won a lot of games and big games at the same time.
Choose happiness.

I think he meant because it is home.
I'd much rather these guys just say it - it's about the money AND best chance to win.
But I agree I really don't care how honest he wants to be, we paid you a ***k ton of money no one wants to hear anything other "sure there were 1 or 2 other teams I considered but I chose Buffalo this is where I want to finish my career."
They all have second thoughts. Of course they do.
But part of our "process" here is....not the stuff he keeps saying out loud.
Spare me the "he had a Bills hat" on his shelf in his draft year. Don't care. Or "Buffalo chose me." My God. Stop it.
D-line remains my #1 concern with this team - lots of new faces and chemistry that's going to take time it is no different then OL. And we payed a 33 year old to come play in a lead role. You better freaking ball.
No reason to take offense. If that’s his story that’s his story. Makes sense. Most people have 2nd thoughts about things much less impactful in their lives. His story has no bearing on anything relevant.
When the whistle blows Miller will give everything he’s got to help get these wins; as he always has, as he knows everyone expects.

Not confusing economic environments BUT at least WNY had site options for a stadium.
Virginia has already said NO. DC, for some reason is clinging to their version of the Rockpile (RFK), and is also saying NO. That leaves Maryland, with limited options far enough away from Baltimore, to be viable for a DC team. Maybe $$$ can't buy happiness?
RFK is being torn down.
Daniel Snyder is the real impediment. If he went away things would change on the stadium front. He is not liked.
-
The KC game been over. The result will always be the result - no matter who you blame. No matter who you think is lying about whatever.
The Bills are legit Super Bowl favorites. They win it all - 13 seconds doesn’t matter; wide right doesn’t matter.; Music City Miracle doesn’t matter. Why lament over a past that will never change when you can put your energy behind a future that can change everything?

Zero point in them even thinking about a new stadium, if Snyder is forced to sell in the not-too-distant future.
Exactly. Snyder is so despised I don’t know how he goes out in public safely. The day his ownership ends, I would bet the RFK site and other options will be back on the table. DC loves that team like no other, but Snyder, his minions and all their BS has pulled the organization into the gutter. Most don’t want to be bothered with him (fans, politicos, etc.)

Can't blame him since he is from the area but Cowboys didn't have the cap space so it never really progressed...
Glad he is a Bill now. Wonder how many "almosts" with key players teams get and miss out on that we never hear about...
A lot. It’s a profession for the players/coaches. The more interested parties the more monetary potential. Also, in Von’s case, growing up in that area it would probably have been a dream to play for the Cowboys.
He will do his best for the Buffalo Bills.

Deep down I fear not having another veteran WR could hurt this team but still plenty of time to address and options out there.
Jamison Crowder is a veteran WR. He’s good too. However, the Bills have reached the point where it’s time to let Davis play. It’s year three for him and he’s flashed great potential since his rookie season. This year he will be unleashed on the league.

Gabriel Davis has the goods. He just needs the reps. He’ll get them now that Beasley and Sanders have moved on. The great thing about him is he seems to excel in money games. He saved the Bills in that Colts playoff game his rookie season.

I agree with everything you said, he shouldn't be cheating at all. I'm just saying, for a girl and beautiful as Kristen is, why would anyone cheat on her with a girl that may not be as attractive as she is.
Attraction is relative. She’s beautiful to you - from a distance. Maybe she stopped being as attractive to Cutler as she was in the beginning. Maybe she was boring. Maybe the other woman was sexier, more sensual.
Looks can be manufactured. Looks can fade. Sexy is an energy a person has or they don’t; can’t fake it and it’s not contingent upon appearances. Having sex and having a sexual experience are two different things. Maybe this other woman provided him an experience. -

This dude is married to Kristen Cavalieri and he cheats on her? What a moron
As an aside, Kristen Cavalieri is just another woman. Cutler’s been there and done that.
That said, it doesn’t matter what she looks like he still shouldn’t be two-timing. People choose to get married; people can also choose not to and stay free to cater to their desires. And that guy isn’t his friend. A true friend ain’t banging’ his friend’s wife under any circumstances.

I grew up on the Eastside also and worked over by the Broadway Market and Kensington/Bailey neighborhoods for over 10 years...I am well aware of the vehicle situation and how things work in the hood.
Don't forget Gigi's
Loved Gigi’s, but rarely went. A lot of food in there I could get at either of my grandparents houses.

Plenty of people don't understand this sort of thing. For me, growing up on the eastside, it was normal for families not to have a vehicle. Simply couldn't afford it. Some people will never understand the difference of how they grew up and what was normal to them compared to others.
Yep. People giving each other rides to the store was routine. A lot of elderly people. Many of the very people who were killed. Out of all the things I’m disgusted by with this crime, the fact that joker killed elders...

I'm old enough to remember when there were multiple food stores in the area. There were the B-Kwik markets that were up and down Jefferson Avenue. The A&P market between E.Ferry and Brunswick Blvd. Mr& Mrs. Cromer had their little market on E. Ferry near Doris Records that provided fresh produce. This was a thriving community at one point in time. The community I grew up in
My Mother grew up in Cold Springs and says similar about what it was.
Outside of Doris Records, I don’t recall any of that when I was coming up. Leader Drugs on the corner of East Ferry and Jefferson, the Jeff-Ferry Deli, Scottie’s and Tony’s Red Hots. And the Churche’s chicken that was around for a minute. Supermarket shopping would be at the Central Park Plaza Belles or Tops.

In the NFC the Dolphins are a WC team. In the AFC they I'd say they are ranked somewhere between 9-10 with the likes of Tenn and Cleveland if Watson plays. I would put Buffalo, Indy, Baltimore, Cincy, Vegas, Denver, KC, and Chargers in the top 8 in no particular order.
I don’t disagree. But if Watson plays to his usual level, and plays most of the season, the Browns will be in that mix with the Ravens and Bengals. And I’m just whispering this: Steelers will be in the mix too. Roethlisberger was a problem last year; because the Oline wasn’t great and he couldn’t move out the way. Mitch can. AFC North is low key a very interesting division.

It’s a damn shame. A team with the history of the Pirates being held hostage by garbage ownership. The Orioles too. If someone told me when I was kid these two organizations would turn out this bad for this long I would have laughed in their face. No way, not those two teams.
