I for one, doubt it, but do think it is in the realm of possibilty. Like…. Why not? Blackshear has easily outperformed him plus return kicks like he has been doing it all his life. The one thing I don’t know is if he can block. He’s pretty small but so was the Thurmanator. So… we don’t know if he can block or not. The way he does everything else, I would not be very surprised if he could block just fine. The kid is a natural. I think most people don’t see a path because of two things. Moss was a third round pick and Beane talks up Moss every chance he gets. Trust your eyes, Blackshear can play in this league and play well. I know it’s just preseason but he looks so damn natural….

I think it is as good as any…. I don’t think they keep four true RBs and do keep 6 LBs but that’s me…. Blackshear has got the it factor. He can help anywhere, so I can’t fault your logic there at all…. I think I might really go with Blackshear over Moss. Maybe we can trade him? or maybe we can trade Blackshear? IDK? I don’t like the idea of losing Blackshear. I don’t think he hits our practice squad with that return ability.

Wow! I’m having a chicken and egg kind of moment here. While I know coaches can mean everything to a team. I also know talent usually wins. I knew Kromer would have an impact but averaging over eight yards a carry vs. a supposedly good defense for four quarters in a preseason game? From the Bills? Without Josh running? Eight yards! I loved hearing Ford’s humility there in that short quote. When you’re humble, you can really learn a lot. Another thing is in this day and age of extreme competition you wouldn’t think offensive line coaches could have a large gap between them, but here we are reading about Aaron Kromer again after his first tour in Buffalo….when he did the same exact thing! He had a lot of talent though….in…. Glenn, Cognito, Wood and Miller…Three really good OL and Miller or was it Mills? wasn’t bad…. Im very glad the Bills have both extreme talent and excellent coaching. With a phenomenal number of current or ex-coordinators on the coaching staff right now. Billieve or don’t but we have 8 of them now….. PS - thanks for posting this….

We have to build an astounding STs group or it will haunt us all year… Having said that the team needs to add depth. If Hodgins made it he’d be the #4 flanker or outside WR. He could snaps resting Diggs or Davis or in four and five WR sets. Why you want to really keep him is in case of injury. If Diggs, Davis or Shakir suffers an injury, Hodgins is playing more. Not to say Kumerow couldn’t do that, I don’t know. Lastly, Hodgins has begun working on Special teams recently….. Our backup LBs are playing very well. I don’t know about Special Teams though….I didn’t watch Denver yet, but Joe Giles-Harris made some beautiful tackles vs. the colts….then Spector and Bernard…

Cincinnati!

What? They had a very solid roster last year, are you kidding me? This year, IDK, they lost a LOT of key players… We’ll see…. But they still have a solid QB, a decent OL maybe, Maybe the best WR in football? Plus a nice stable. A good RB room.especially the kid at the top. They have the greatest defender in the game. Now they signed Bobby Wagner… they have Jalen Ramsey…. I’d put them at #2 in the NFC…. I like that the eagles got that WR and that DT but let’s not think they have a very solid roster….

I think you team breakdown of where you’re willing to spend money: QB then LT then CB then DL, etc… unfortunately, the Bills believe they can get a smart and good athlete that loves football and teach him the rest… I’d do the same….the two lowest I think are RB and Safety and that’s how you want to build a roster. BTW, slot CB is somewhere in the middle, not to be confused with outside cornerbacks. The good thing is all are millionaires. Just gotta learn how to invest that dough and not spend like an idiot. Unless, of course, you’re a number one franchise QB… Then the money just comes in like a flood and you’ve got to hire someone to manage your vast fortune…make certain all your checks are cashed, etc….LOL…. Just crazy money for Josh….He ought to getting national commercials this year…. Hopefully he takes away Commercials from Rogers and Mayfield.

He did I will admit. I will be surprised if he looks that poor in the regular season. I thought he played pretty decent last season though….Definitely not anywhere near Allen but might be able to get the ball to the right guy often enough….

I give up, he’s on the show for 75 minutes?

My list…. 1 Buf. Best all-around team with best player. Only injuries could stop them, imho….just a loaded roster, including STs…. 2. SD. Similar to Bills but not quite there. Allen > Herbert, a little weaker defense in the middle… 3. Cincy - Joe B and his weapons are for real. Good roster. 4. KC - Crazy hard schedule and too much reliance on rookies this year. Beware Mahomes always. 5. Ravens - not a fan when compared to top 4 AFC QBs. Allen - Mahomes - Burrow - Herbert. 6. LV - Great team with new HC. Just doesn’t quite measure up with SD or KC, but might beat out KC for playoff spot. 7. Colts - Are they Bills kryptonite? No, not again. Colts have nice talent though… I absolutely love Taylor, Nelson, Buckner… 8. Denver - Great team with new HC, just doesn’t quite matchup with SD or KC….also could overtake KC due to KC schedule. 9. Tennessee - this is the year the colts take them. 10. Miami - Crazy to think they’re way down at 10 but…. 11. Pittsburgh - Dangerous DL, run game. 12.Cleveland -another loaded roster and their at the bottom over here. The browns are not ready again. 13 pats - If jets weren’t the jets….. 14. Jets - the jets…. 15. Jags - gave contract to Zay Jones. 16. Houston. - it wasn’t that long ago they were good. Now? WTF?

Right now it’s definitely Khalil Shakir. On our first drive in which Shakir caught three passes, he lined up outside on every play…. I think he definitely can do it. He looks like a NFL already. I expect him to have a year similar to the one Gabriel Davis had his rookie year…. We’ve got this! Go Bills!

And on our first series he lined up outside and dominated…. He is going to be another Gabriel Davis this year…. He’s going to get 500-600 yds. working from the outside and resting both Diggs and Davis at times…. Khalil is OUTSIDE WR option #3 for us this year! Go Bills!

But how will it look with Keenum and Barkley throwing the ball? We might have to wait till Shakir get in in the regular season…. See Shakir pop open and the Ball will be there, right in his hands and we’ll see a bit of RAC….

Unfortunately, the Bills and their fans aren’t lucky enough to live in a two QB world…. Herbert and Burrow are simply too good to ignore…are they as good? No, but they are true franchise QBs on good teams. I will say I think the Bills with Josh Allen are going to beat the rams because Josh is better than Stafford and because most fans are completely underestimating how much the rams lost this offseason. Yes, our secondary won’t be ready on opening day but either will their’s.

It’s the Bills! I’m fired up! Let’s Go Buffalo!

I think there are a few small surprises on defense. Bernard being #2 at MLB…. Nick McCloud being officially a Safety. …Neal being officially the #2 slot corner… So McCloud’s path to the roster goes thru Hamlin…. Tough. Was Bernard always drafted to be our backup MLB this year? And, signing Neal doesn’t look so strange now… And the Bills have both Cook and Shakir working on returners as I have hoped….

I’m excited to see if he can play outside. Surpassing Kumerow and Hodgins in the process…. Having the kind of year Davis did as a rookie….

It would be interesting to see how our offense would function with a mediocre QB…. I mean, how good is the offense without JA? if we have our five starting OL I think the OL is pretty good. I think our weapons are pretty good too… might be missing an OBJ might not…. I just rewatched the chefs playoff game and Josh made so many plays being Josh… Although Davis was on fire…. Diggs was doubled mostly I guess? Beasley was injured and ineffective…. Sanders caught a couple…. Singletary looked OK…. Probably a bit nervous… I think he missed a huge cutback… I think he matured in that game though and will be better this year…. I have to watch again but I’m thinking Brown got taken to school most of the game but Allen knew the pass rusher was coming and avoided him…. Allen was so freakin good. Mahomes as well unfortunately…. I think our defense played better than I thought initially. I couldn’t admit that Mahomes is just that good and blamed the D…especially when you consider Tre and Star did not play. Finally, I think the refs favored KC and that could be seen as the difference in the game and that’s why you want home field advantage….

I don’t know but the eagles are going to make it tough for anyone to do t….

So you like to allow other teams to score TDs on kick-off returns and punt returns; is that it?

What about Bills that had their career cut short? Derrick Burroughs, Shane Nielsen, Shane Conlan (sort of), Sam Cowart, Stupid Will Wolford would have been on the wall and in the HOF if he just took a little less dough…. Jeff Nixon I think? Wasn’t he great but couldn’t play long?

I think we stay the course…. Our current CBs are going to step it up…. No need to panic. Now the OL, on the other hand…. We need a better sixth OL…. Someone who can push Quessenberry to 7th and Doyle to 8th…. imho, that is…. That is where we need the most help….the OL….

I’d say the biggest difference between the two is that Donald always took to coaching and Ed did not. Being from a small school and not really liking his coaches and having tremendous success without coaching sealed the deal for Oliver who needed a couple years to realize how good the NFL is… way behind Donald at this point, he has been learning for a couple years now and training harder than he used to….He’s getting better now but is still far behind Donald in a lot of ways…. Perhaps hand-fighting is number one? Though, I recall, Ed is Abendextorous…. He should be very good at hand fighting…. And it is something how good of a one-tech Ed is but at the same time, a complete shame on us he had to play one-tech for us….

You could go Go Biells in our of the one color man whose name escapes me….

I will be extra happy when we win our SB knowing Marv got to see it happen. Happy Birthday, Marv!
