Groot seems to be having a good camp. Basham can kick inside too. But I read this and can’t help but think of JOK in this defense.

My general thought is, the defense will live and die by the front 7. (Crazy I know) But we have depth issues at DB and have invested a poop ton into DL and LB. the secondary depth will continue to get worked if we don’t start hitting on those draft picks and FA$$$ in a very big way very soon.

Thinking about this today. The Bills defense was relatively mediocre last season as a whole. Given the continued investment in this years and past years drafts, what are the expectations for the front 7 this season? Is there a line for pass/fail based on draft and salary cost? We have invested: 3x 1st round picks in Edmunds, Oliver, Groot. 2x 2nd round picks in Basham and Epenesa A major extension to Milano. 3rd highest paid DL in the league for 2021 (source: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/positional/breakdown/)

You're crying about his crying, about others crying about vaccines. So now I am crying about your crying, about his crying, about others crying. Shut it down mods, this is getting out of hand.

That is a good one. Also the Arkells are another great Canadian band.

Because the Goo Goo Dolls are not a good band. They're from Buffalo, so the city embraces them as we do all things Buffalo, regardless of actual quality.

I listen to all sorts of music, and everybody you have used so far. You could go a totally different direction and start using Biggie, Jay-Z, Wu-tang, etc.

There is a bit of pressure on the FO and the front 7 to perform. I like Beane, but we are investing a TON into this group over the years in salary cap and draft picks. Last year we had one of the most expensive groups in the league. We have somewhat reduced that cost. But have signed Milano to a big contract and invested 3 firsts, Oliver, Edmunds, Rousseau, and 2 seconds in Epenesa and Basham. At some point that type of investment needs to start paying off. Granted two of those picks are this years. There is still time.

I agree with everybody that Tre is too low and Beasley is too high. The constant bummer to me is the disrespect Poyer gets. There is a strong argument to be made he was the best player on our defense last year. I don't see him getting top 40 so unfortunately I would guess he misses this list all together this year. At the very least I would have been thrilled to see him swapped for Beasley at 96.

PM is one of the best in the game, my favorite of all the sports guys.

I admittedly did not watch the game, but I actually thought that Mac Jones looked meh going through the highlight real. I thought he did a lot of staring down of receivers. Going against the 1's, I think he gets torn apart. People aren't making fun of the QB as much as they are relishing in the potential struggle of the Pats. The last 20 years have been rough.

I don’t know man. The ticket line is like herding cattle. I was amped for this season and have tickets to a few games. We have states where there are almost no hospital beds. I was in the hospital early this year at Albany Med and my doctors and nurses were upset that Buffalo was letting 15k fans in. I was excited to be in the stadium, but it feels dirty given how many are still struggling. If I go at all I will probably mask up the entire game. I’m not trying to end up back in the hospital or send somebody to an icu bed.

Labatt, Labatt, it's gotta be Labatt! That was funny. Curious if Labatt can snip that for use on social media. Wasn't there an issue with Manning and AB after winning his last Super Bowl.

At a bowling alley with my family. It was blacked out due to sell out/black out rules back then, so that’s what you did. You found a place with a 30 foot diameter satellite. Adults could drinks. Kids could bowl. It is nice that is gone. But there was something sort of nice about doing stuff like that back then.

I think you caught this before my edit.

Has anybody paid attention to the expected/adjusted cap year over year on spotrac.? It is listing the cap in 2026 as $600M. If that is the case, this JA contract is a STEAL! edit: I most definitely read that wrong. That’s the Bills cap space assuming they don’t renew or sign anybody from 2021 to 2026.

Huh? Leonard got 5 years $99M. Add a 5th year to the deal you laid out and her is right there.

This is one of those times where somebody totally effed the market. If you’re Cleveland or Baltimore there is no way you get close to that, right?

oh jeez. If this lasts for a few more hours I am going to have to call a doctor.

I would trade Eichel for Hightower or Hunter Henry, straight up. If we are going to gut the hockey team, at least maybe make the Bills better.

Josh in shorts? giggity giggity.

I would love to keep Kumerow just to keep pissing off Rodgers honestly.

It seems like the stadiums built to the cost of the Pegula ask are around the 30-40% publicly funded mark. I think that is part of the reason fans are offended.

Haha. Not even close. The America's Food Fund and Frontline Workers Fund are two of the largest GoFundMe's in history, both created to support families and healthcare workers during the pandemic, combined barely cracked $50M. The amount people say we are willing to support the stadium and the amount they are willing to give in reality are way way off.
