  1. Couldn't agree more. Diggs not healthy either. I think the damaged receiving corps was a big factor on offense. Sure would like Najee Harris!
  2. I believe the consensus at the beginning of the year was the season would be a success if we won a playoff game. We won 2. It was a great season. We just need to make sure we keep the upward trajectory. We are close.
  3. White, Poyer, Hyde, Milano - all keepers. Our D-Line signings were a downgrade from last year it seems. Need to fix the front.
  4. We are a couple players away on defense. Beane and McD will figure out what we need. Not every signing works. We had Benjamin, now we have Diggs.
  5. Heads up folks, the boys gave us a great year. Wasn't to be this year, but you know we will be back!
  6. 1966 re-done. Instead of us losing to the Chiefs for the right to meet GB, we vanquish them and take out The Pack. Fingers crossed so as to prevent jinxing.
  7. They are gutting it out. I think they are hurt too. Smoke doesn't average 7 yards a catch when feeling good. Beas definitely could shake Humphrey if he was 100%, IMHO.
  8. Cutting Morse is not based on performance, it is risk management. One more blow to the mellon and you flush that $5 million of cap space. I don't mind if they don't cut him, but I wouldn't lose Milano, Mungo or Williams to keep him.
  9. I thought his video was great. Perhaps I am too easy, but for me - anyone who want to hop on the Bills train, well, ALL ABOARD!!
  10. Found this from 2010, is it still the rule? If so, how many have we signed since end of regular season? Clubs participating in the playoffs are permitted to sign free agents throughout the postseason, but are limited to a total of four free agent signings, including players on other clubs' Practice Squads, during the period that begins at 4 p.m., New York time, on the Wednesday after the final regular season weekend."
  11. Physical traits can be similar, but you can't replace Milano's heart, work ethic and instincts. Pay the man.
  12. I would rather Mahomes plays because it is the right thing to wish the man good health and a speedy recovery. Anything else risks a violation of karma so great that anything can happen. A Homerun Throwback. I have faith in this team regardless of opponent. And if they fall short, let them leave it all on the field and walk away with heads held high. And if they triumph let them go to the Super Bowl knowing they just beat a quarterback just as challenging as Rogers or Brady.
  13. Loved Poyer's block, as well as Milano's, not sure which was more important.
  14. I am a yes - what a monster he was last night. Has come a long, long way from the "personal foul a game" Jerry drag racing with Dareus. Hothead to emotional leader, great evolution over his career.
  15. Really is pretty loud - I didn't think 6700 could do that much!
  16. Re-watched the pick-six about 20x this morning, as I suspect many of us have. All credit to Taron. An unsung hero on the play is Matt Milano - he gets just enough of a block on Mark Andrews to help spring Johnson out of the end zone. Taron is untouched after that. Milano had a monster game, and this play shows a couple of his best traits: Always hustling, and a nose for being in the right place at the right time. I pray we re-sign him.
  17. And really should have beat the Steelers but for a second half collapse. Steelers hit a few big plays, but I thought Indy was the better team.
  18. I said it the other day - humble and hungry is right on. The great Bills of the 90s would get too much swagger sometimes, stay out too late, say the wrong thing. Our team gave the Colts their due before the game and we should give it to them after. They played a terrific game, great game plan, great players. I expected at least one INT from Rivers and he just never threw it to us. Respect.
  19. It was a terrible call, but to win the Super Bowl we are going to have to overcome a couple of those in the tournament. I choose to look at it like we got one of the bad calls we will get, overcame it and put it behind us.
  20. We have our place kicker! Bass was cool as ice from 54 when we needed it.
  21. Trust the I was just about to type "trust the process" - if they elevated Duke, Duke needed to be elevated! Meaning - I trust he is the right elevation, and they have a purpose in mind for elevating him. McDermott and Beane not elevating him out of "Duke Love".
  22. I like "humble and hungry" - for me, only, I am giving nothing but respect to Indy. If we beat them, respect to both teams. Then on to the next. Character counts. Integrity matters. You can just feel those qualities ooze from this team. I am confident that all the men and women affiliated with the Bills, from the bottom of the organization to the top, players and coaches, will give their all for their team, their teammates and the City of Buffalo. I cannot ask more than that.
  23. It bothers me. The level Josh is on now no one could have seen. But he was a very good quarterback last year who made some young-QB mistakes and needed to add touch on the deep ball. From day 1 he displayed elite leadership, competitiveness, movement skills and arm strength. So it bothers me a lot when they suggest Allen was not good last year. It bothered me greatly when all the media this year said the big question for the Bills was at quarterback. It bothered me when the Jets fans around me were insistent Darnold was better in years 1 & 2 (it was obvious to me he wasn't). I think the storyline that this year came out of the blue short-changes the young man on all the work he put in the prior years and all he showed on the field which, while imperfect, was winning QB play for a year 1 and year 2 QB.
