    RG3 Interview with Keon Coleman

    I hope Coleman can remain the happy-go-lucky guy throughout his career.  

     

    It's not too long ago when Tre White showed up with his big fun personality.  Then he got injured, and his fun side got injured as well.  I'm not saying it wouldn't have destroyed me either, but Tre was never the same after the first injury.  He rarely did media stuff after that.  Mentally it must've been hell.

    I also think that the Covid season and some of the divisions within the team over that issue messed a lot with Tre's enjoyment of the game.  He seemed like he reluctantly played in 2020 (but played great) and then the injury followed in 2021.  I hope he finds his groove again in LA.  He was just a really good, talented guy.

    What if all this isnt about this year but next year?

    Josh Allen will be 28 years old when the season starts.

    The absolute prime of his career.  

     

    Yes.  There is a reasonable explanation for all of Brandon Beane's offseason moves.  Why he surprisingly cut Mitch Morse (along with several other veterans).  Why he decided not to restructure all of Allen's contract, and did almost nothing in Free Agency.  Why he traded Stefon Diggs and took on tons of dead cap.  Why he decided not to move up in the draft this year for a Top 3 receiver.  And I'm sure many of the level-headed and conservative critics are applauding those moves.

     

    The problem is that ALL of Beane's decisions are geared to help us in 2025.  But nothing has been done to give the Bills a better chance at winning the Super Bowl in 2024.  Our roster is significantly weaker than any point in the last 3-4 seasons, with much less depth across the board.  Can anyone honestly compare our talent level versus the Chiefs (again), Bengals, Texans, Ravens... or even the Jets, and think we will be a serious contender in the AFC this year?  

     

    We only get so many cracks at this thing before Allen's best years are behind him, and we seem to be content punting away this upcoming season and reloading for the future.  Maybe we can argue it was the "smartest" thing for the franchise.  But personally, I think it's depressing.

     

    If only the salary cap and the need to replace aging players with rapidly declining skills were not a reality, well then I might see your point.  Since those factors ARE real, I believe Beane has done a nice job of embracing that reality and addressing it.  Would you prefer that we give OBJ a bag of money for a year along with a key to the city?  I would rather deal in the reality of an evolving roster.  It never stops...

    Wow. I hate that decision from Beane. Worthy isn't my guy necessarily but why are you giving the team you are trying to catch and surpass a guy they really covet in a position where they need help?

    Possibly because Beane knew he was not going to draft Worthy and the Chiefs would get him regardless.  Why not pick up the extra third for your troubles.

    Wrex Ryan may have never walked through the door in 2015, so Russ Brandon would never have had the chance to ply him with wine so that he wouldn't leave the buiding. In that case, Doug Whaley may not have been a dead man walking in 2017, and Brandon Beane may not have been there to select Josh Allen in 2018.

    Yes, Josh... Who they acquired by trading up multiple times.

    I’m good for 25% of your 25%. 

     

    I must admit, I did not see this coming when I woke up this morning. I’m glad there is a stadium coming out of the ground, because I’m having Buffalo Braves flashbacks. 

    I feel I giant Mangurian headache coming on.  Think I'll go sit in the dark until it passes.

    If losing in the playoffs is the most anguish you've ever felt as a Bills fan,  then be thankful Sir.  

     

    I cried as an 11-12 year old boy when my favorite player Joe Cribbs was gone.  I have 1,000 events that have hurt more, before I get to last season.  

    My childhood idol turned out to be a double murdering psychopath (allegedly)...  Welcome to Buffalo!  Mic drop.

    It just annoys me. I'm almost 40 as a Millennial, the oldest Millennials are now 43 years old but they still get blamed for stupid things and have stuff said about them like "it's hard to interpret a Millennials tweets" like we are still 25 years old lol.

    As Gord would say:

    Will the Chiefs Fire Reid?

    Meanwhile...  I awoke today in a world where Mike McDaniel has as many playoff wins (0) on his resume as Josh McDaniels.  In fact, his playoff record is identical to that of Brandon Staley (0-1).  An elite QB entitles you to nothing.  People here are talking about McDermott wasting 7 years of elite QB by Allen.  For real?  Allen is in the middle of his 6th season.  The first 2 of those seasons were the polar opposite of elite QB play.  They were erratic as hell.  For the realistic among us, Josh broke out as an elite QB in 2020.  McDermott is in the middle of his 4th season of having elite QB play.  And he has at least 1 playoff win in each of the first 3 of those years with the story of year 4 yet to be written.  Let the story play out.

    Ronnie Harmon in Cleveland... Defined the Buffalo Bills fan experience in a split second.  You learn to roll with it through and back out the other side of the depressive moments.  I lost my husband in '22 and looked forward to the Bills season for escape and renewed ability to experience joy.  That worked out well 😂.  Anyway, the experience revealed to me the things in life that are just way bigger than all of this.  After some time passes, lightness and fun comes back.  So this year, I decided Sabres season tickets would be just the right balm.  Yeah... life!  

     

    You have to keep a sense of humor and find meaning wherever you find it.  That meaning may not be where you are looking for it right now, but if you keep your eyes open, you just might see it again.  I did.  It was well worth the journey!  Keep going.

    Florio: NFL considering XFL kickoff rules

    But this kickoff one, with a 4th and 15 at the 25 to replace onside kicks... interesting. Anyway, if the XFL has been doing this for a full season, everyone can see if it makes sense or not.

    Hate, hate and hate some more on this idea.   "Defensive holding, defense.  5 yard penalty... Automatic first down".  Too easy, too frequent and too subjective.  It's a Pandora's box.  Did I mention that I hate this idea?

    Sweet Melinda, the peasants call her the goddess of gloom
    She speaks good English, invites you up into her room
    And you're so kind and careful not to go to her too soon
    And she takes your voice and leaves you howling at the moon

    That is, you can't, you know, tune in but it's all right
    That is, I think it's not too bad

     

    Let me take you down
    'Cause I'm going to strawberry fields
    Nothing is real
    And nothing to get hung about
    Strawberry fields forever

    He floated back down 'cause he wanted to share
    His key to the locks on the chains he saw everywhere
    But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed
    By faceless men, well, f*****s
    He still stands

     

    And he still gives his love, he just gives it away
    The love he receives is the love that is saved
    And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky
    A human being that was given to fly
