I didn't get all the way through, but he's got a really impressive highlight reel. For the people who might have more experience with him, can he catch or pass block at all? Or is he purely a one dimensional RB? Also, I saw he set the rushing record for his school. Is he overworked? How long can his body hold up running like that?

As much as I hate to say it, I feel like our 1st round pick absolutely should NOT be Howard. TT can't throw over the middle. As long as he's the QB, we'd be wasting any elite talent at TE, because TT can't/won't throw there. Just look at Clay. He's an athletic TE who can block, run, get flexed out to WR, he's versatile, essentially everything you're saying about Howard, and is probably a top 5-10 TE, talent-wise, and his stats end up looking like a middling TE. Picking up a second one? Unless you consider this a rebuilding year, with a look to the future, and plan on drafting a QB high next year, Howard would be a waste.

NFL.com has a way-to-early article listing the order and draft needs of teams based on record and strength of schedule (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000715300/article/2017-nfl-draft-order-and-needs-nos-1120). Not complaining or anything about the ranking (15), but the supposed draft needs are idiotic. They list RT (sure, an upgrade wouldn't be a bad idea), but then also DE and DB. Here's their take: Analysis: The Bills will likely be looking for a bookend right tackle after the season. Finding a defensive lineman who can win at the point of attack as well as rush the passer should be a priority. The Bills need more talent at cornerback and safety. We definitely need a DE and to draft one in the first round after DRAFTING ONE IN THE FIRST ROUND THE YEAR BEFORE. Not to mention Lorax (Lorenzo Alexander) has been playing well for us, and Jerry Hughes has been lights out. And DB? With Gilmore, Darby, Robey-Coleman, and even Seymour waiting in the wings? Not really... I can somewhat see an upgrade at safety opposite A. Williams, but in the first round? Unless there's someone special there, I just don't see it happening. And nothing about upgrading the depth at WR behind Sammy? Maybe finding an upgrade at RG? The defense doesn't really seem to be a problem right now. All in all, this just seems like an article written by someone who knows absolutely nothing about the Bills.

That was the least blatant opi call ever. Worst refs I've seen in a while. Inconsistent as f*** considering worse OPI calls go uncalled multiple times a quarter. Stupid refs don't realize it's not the regular season yet, they don't have to screw us out of wins that don't matter

Theismann: "what do you think rex is going to tell his guys? Stop getting called for so many penalties? " Nope, probably "guys, stop getting called for such unexplainable BS penalties. Not sure how you're going to do that, but..."

And followed up by a horrible hands to the face penalty. Didn't realize that underarm to the face was a penalty

BS penalty after ignoring the fact Beirmann got held on that same play...

Wait, did anyone see anything other than the redskins player pushing off on that duke Williams penalty? I may have been looking in the wrong place, but that's what I saw

Theismann not only can't call a game well, he can't do promotions well. When promoting something, don't sound shocked that the quality of the product you received wasn't absolutely horrible.

Who is at LT tonight? Is that Kojo?

Blanton is playing himself off the team, isn't he?

Honestly surprised our DB didn't get flagged for clotheslining their WR

Wow, talk about penetration on that 1st down run. Three guys immediately got past their blockers

I will say I'm surprised that tyrod is already done, but then again, with so many injuries and suspensions, I'm kinda glad

Yes, we know you can't tackle a QB at the knees, apparently you can't at the waist any more, either

Guess that's my answer

Sorry if it's been asked before, but are Darby and Gilmore playing tonight?

So since when has diving into someone, tackling the receiver before the ball gets there, and holding their arm down so the receiver can't even attempt to catch it NOT been pass interference?

I'm not saying go out and game plan against opponents, throw all your best plays and whatnot. I'm saying we need to have someone step up, be a leader. You play how you practice, so if you go out there and not give your all, what are you going to do during the season? Who cares if people see that you are willing to put in the work, go out and give your all? Basically, I want someone to demand excellence each and every time the team steps onto the field, whether it's preseason, regular season, post season, whenever. I want them to hold people accountable. We've seemed to have a distinct lack of that kind of a leader in the past. I want someone to not allow people to give up and use any of the various excuses they could use with all the problems that we've had this offseason, and instead make them strive for greatness. It's been far too long since we've truly had greatness here in Buffalo.

Honestly never had as much respect for Nate Burleson before this video: http://www.nfl.com/videos/buffalo-bills/0ap3000000688744/Mindset-going-into-Preseason-Week-3 I feel like we need this mindset. We need people to step up and compete. Go into every week as if it's their last. Don't let the excuses allow them to play less than their best. Hopefully we have a leader who can say this stuff on our team.

I have trouble seeing Braxton Miller on the 53 man roster next year. I feel like he's practice squad material, that they hope after a year or two will become 53 man roster material, but isn't yet. He's a project. I have trouble believing that they'd waste a spot on someone who will not play, unless he's just perpetually a healthy scratch week in and week out. Maybe we'll just have to wait to see how he does in preseason...

Absolutely, 100% will not happen. The Bills have to save up some cap space for Taylor, Gilmore, or both. They are not taking on any big new contracts, because then they would lose those two. Going into next year without a QB whatsoever...not a good idea. Losing your best CB...not very good either...

I don't have arguments about the other four, but Marcus Peters should not have been included in this list. He's incredibly overrated. Sure, he had some splash plays, but he also gives up big plays fairly often. I can't think of a single game where he actually shut down a good WR. Watkins owned him 1v1, and only started having problems in the Chiefs game when they started rolling all their coverage towards him. I truly believe that there are two better corners than Peters on the Bills alone.

That is NOT considered a substitution. However, it IS considered a simulated substitution, and so the refs should have stood over the ball, allowing the Bills to substitute as in the case of a normal substitution. It's in the rule book. Even after f***ing that call up, the play should have been whistled dead at the snap. If there's someone 15 yards in the backfield like Hughes was, the play is immediately whistled dead so that the player doesn't come from behind the ball runner and absolutely destroy them from an unexpected direction. The play should have been called dead and the penalty enforced then and there. It should have never been allowed to be run, and that TD should never have been allowed to stand. So that's another TWO penalties added onto all the others that were blatantly missed or enforced incorrectly. If these refs ever ref a game again, the NFL has does something VERY wrong.

So we're not using phrasing any more?
