But that mini bye is for a short week heading into Houston. Would be nice if they flip flopped that with Pittsburgh I am on a similar page, except I kind of enjoy the Baltimore rivalry. Lamar and Henry are real talents that I love watching play. That said, fork the chiefs, fork em in the ash.

I'm out of of pocket, I'll have to take a little deeper dive later. But this seems reasonable. Looks like they have an out after 2026. If Henry can match last season this upcoming year, and if he ihalf as productive in 26, it's still decent value for Baltimore for what Henry gives their offense. They'll essentially have on overpay of one bad year on the contract. If he falls off a cliff this year though, then they're in trouble. But I have a feeling Henry is still gonna be a good player this year. As far as Cool, I think this is good. Even the best RB in the league is sign 2 years at $15M. You likely make up the difference with term. 4 years $50M/$40M Guaranteed.

From a general football fan perspective, not a Bills fan, I would be way more pumped for a Buffalo v Ravens SNF opener over Buffalo v Bengals. The Bills have struggled against the Bengals. Baltimore v Buffalo is a more entertaining match up.

I think it is a little bit of a Josh Allen/Sean McDermott vs the ghost of Brady/Belicheck kind of thing. If we swapped situations with any of the other 3 AFCE teams I think you'd get a similar "rivalry".

The guy seems to trying to get the Bills to take him back for one last lap. I can't blame him. Our safety situation isn't awesome. I would lose approximately zero sleep on a one year vet minimum or late season injury/depth signing.

Dont worry you'll have Damar Hamlin over too to help you out. LoL

That is a hell of a SNF opener.

Didnt they also already start handing some of the AV stuff too? I was pretty shocked at that. I'm sure Turner Construction knows what they're doing. Not their first rodeo. But both seem risky this early.

I am on the young side of middle aged. A friend of ours turned us on to the Wings lot years ago and we haven't looked back. Great tailgating atmosphere,but on the family friendly side. Real bathrooms. A bar inside with TV's if that's your vibe. Easy exit. But a little bit of a hike. Once in a while we'll park at Hammers, get closer, or head over early and hit a more rowdy lot.

Hard dislike on this. I don't love the blue helmet in general. Especially if we go back the the 90's/Giants uniform for this. The City of Buffalo flag is pretty sweet. It's has lightening bolts. They could do a riff on in in red white and blue with the skyline and that could be cool. Maybe toss some Zubaz in there? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Buffalo,_New_York.svg

Agreed. I'm also not gonna sit down and watch a 3 hour reveal of a calendar. LoL I will F5 all night though.

I'm surprised at the lack of leaks this year compared to others. Also a 3 hour schedule reveal is bonkers. Almost (but quite) as bad as the "The Decision".

I don't even get a sniff of Ramsey in this interview. He sounds pretty playful and smart. I thought Starks came across really well. Good kid. He said he wants to pick off Allen because he has a bunch of friends on the Bills. Malaki basically said "it would be fun to beat my friends on the Bills" Ramsey said Allen was trash. IMO this is a total non-story. Timestamp is around 5:10 https://youtu.be/IueRXT77hfU?si=PO7VRTE5303nus5D I highly doubt that anybody who actually watched the interview thought the kid was coming at Allen with anything but respect. What a BS headline. He was super friendly.

Certainly a tough way to end his legacy.

Zubaz would be a great get for the Bills honestly. Make the restripe on the Buffalo Zubaz, and the stripes on the jersey? Or maybe the numbers? IDK. But if they go down this road and do it right, they won't be able to keep them on the shelves. I hope it isn't some riff on chicken wings. Ugh Reverting back to the identical jerseys to the NYG, errr I mean 90's Bills uniforms would be super "meh" to me.

I think they were taking one more shot going down the vet QB route. The DK trade was to lure in Rodgers. But to me, trading Pickens and Watt would be early signs that Rodgers is out and they're chasing draft capital for next years draft class. By all accounts next years QB class is much stronger. So they have some ammo to go get a guy.

This is exactly where I am at. Even if he doesn't fall off a cliff, getting a 2nd is worth it. The NFL is different now. You need the QB and then a good GM to get all the role players in place once he gets paid.

My thoughts on Pitt as a whole have been that they get one more bite at the apple before they need to blow the roster up. They can keep Tomlin and Co. The roster is good enough to plug and play an established QB, but if they can't make it work they need to do whatever it takes to go out and get one. If I am Pitt and I don't get Rodgers the entire roster is up for grabs. Load up on capital to go up and get your QB.

My quick two cents is that Rodgers is hanging it up and/or not coming to Pitt and they have word. No way they trade Pickens if they get one more bite at the apple with Rodgers/Pickens

I thought I heard a few months ago that there wasn't much tread left on his tires and the dude is more or less washed.

Ugh. We were just talking about what to do if the Bills play on Christmas. It's a tough one because we don't live there anymore and most of my family is gone. So wed have to ditch both families and make it a friends Christmas. Which we are on the fence about. But then you add in the last regular season home game ever. ....against the Chiefs... That's a lot to miss As an out of town season ticket holder who makes it to just about every home game, 1 pm starts are so much better for me. I can make it home Sunday night and work Monday.

It's fine. I'm optimistic. But I am hesitant if the impact. I'm not confident that we'll get much use out of him in the same way we didn't get any use out of Yeldon, Hines, Knox, Kincaid, Samuels, MVS etc. We've struggled with some of these role player/definitive skill set types and getting them involved early/often. Rooting for this one to be different but I am cautious.

I was so confused checking my notifications.

I think Allen and McD lock onto certain guys for different reasons and MVS missed checking the boxes for both guys. Not getting any production from Poona Ford was absolutely bonkers. Allen is wildly talented but tends to live "off script" because of that he can kind of play favorites a bit and/or will force the ball into situations/players that aren't the best. This is something that has gotten much better over the years. His OTA presser he said that his offseason focus was being better pre snap, setting up blocking, and understanding what he is seeing, etc. I suspect that a lot of this is a one hand washes the other type of situation. And I fully expect that this portion of his game takes a leap over the next few seasons.

I do like that he directly said "when you pay Josh what you are paying for it you have to take it away from somewhere else". I am a huge proponent of the fact that once you pay the QB that player has to do more with less. They have to make up for the pay gap in some of their talent. Josh did a very good job of that last year. I expect him to continue to do very good as we move forward. To Beane's point on WGR, defense has cost us games. We have an excellent RB stable and OL. The Bengals model is bad.
