Can't stand the sour puss, negative ninnies. From Allen's pictures with the wedding crew in the parking lot, his mocking his own accuracy on the toss of the ball cap at the draft, to his Sabres support, and every move he has made since drafted it seems like Allen is a terrific young man with a positive personality. Plus, even Shady says he is totally dedicated to his craft. He is everything we could want from a personality and talent perspective. I think I may cry with joy if/when it translates on the field. #AllenMafia

Donated.

Sooner he retires the better - if you can't beat 'em, out last 'em! I only hope we can aid him into the next phase of life with dispatch. He needs to be home with Giselle and the kids!

The woman was arrested a year later and charged with being part of a well-established drug distribution ring. She had multiple felony counts, and at the time had alleged that Bennett left her traumatized and unable to work. I don't think it is fair to assume any more about Bennett's plea than what it was - a misdemeanor. Seems like this is a story where there are definitely two sides, and it is certainly possible Bennett took the plea to get on with his life with minimal impact. Of course, the opposite could be true too, but this woman was not a pillar of the community, it appears. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bennetts-accuser-arrested/

Loved Tyrod when he was here, love him now. Having said that, also could see his limitations. But he gave our team his all, stabilized a horrific quarterback situation and was a great teammate. Likely we needed to move on for Bills to take the next step. But I hope he keeps Baker on the bench and takes the Brownies to the playoffs. Baltimore and Cinci have windows that closed. Pittsburgh can't win forever. Browns with Tyrod vs. Bills with Allen in playoffs would be epic. Browns. Bills is only game I want Tryod to lose - all class.

Dupree has been a top prospect since high school. Seen as an underachiever, which may be unfair given his college QBs. I think Reilly has more upside. K. Clay, Bray and McCloud - all elite return guys likely competing for one spot. I think Bray and McCloud likely offer more as a receiver, Clay drops passes.

I am most hopeful for Reilly. And I find the draft picks of Ray Ray and Proehl pretty interesting. However, if you Google Bray's story he is really someone to root for. And he had made the Colts and was carving out a name for himself as a returner and wideout when injured. Still young -- I am not saying he is good, but he has shown enough in the league that he is not necessarily bad. No Holmes or Streator though please.

I Googled the affair point, another poster on here stated it was multiple players wives. Oye. And we have not won a championship since the trade - Curse of the Mad Bomber.

Really interesting, I never heard that before. Art Powell and Tom Flores were < chicken feed!

Thanks so much. Loved seeing that. I was too young to remember any of this, but my Dad spoke of all those players with reverence. I recall seeing many of them play later (Butch Byrd bought a Pontiac from Don Davis Pontiac where my Mom worked and gave us his autograph, Jack Kemp put me on his should during 1966 training camp while he signed an autograph for me - I was four), but I really became aware of the Bills in 1967 and it was all downhill for the remaining players from this championship group. Couple of things: 1. I can't believe we traded Lamonica! 2. Dubenion looks like Paul Warfield. Kemp under threw him by about 10 yards on many of those completed long passes. I wonder what he could have done if we kept Lamonica!

If Zay doesn't turn it around would be fun to have KB and Reilly/Dupree on the boundaries and Proehl/Kerley in the slot. A little Ray Ray as a joker/returner. Rather see them try to break in the young bloods than try to reboot Holmes and Streater.

Allen is going to be great.

Rosen - yuk!

Brandon Reilly - baller. As big as Dupre and faster. Would love to see both emerge.

I really don't want a new stadium! Love The Ralph.

Ugh. No politics on our beloved board. I believe Trump is an idiot. Others will disagree, then it degenerates!

Being my usual sunny and optimistic self, and not wanting to infringe on my "19-0, Baby!" brother poster, I will go with: A gentlemanly 11-5; win the division.

Thanks for the thorough reply, but I probably disagree with half of these. So I will give them top 10! With a bullet.

If his head is right, he will almost certainly be better. How much better is the question. He was showing signs in second half. Could make a nice step.

Milano runs 4.5, was hurt at the combine when he ran the 4.67. I posted about that above. You can Google it. I wonder if McDermott knew this? I bet he did.

True, but I like the OP's enthusiasm. Don't know if we can compare ourselves to one of the most storied franchises in sport yet, but we are no longer a laughing stock. I remember when Pegula was hiring McDermott - said he just wanted our franchise to be respected. I felt bad for him, and for us. I think our team is now seen as a professional outfit, whereas before they were amateurs. I mean seriously, can't believe Russ Brandon was our GM! Rex eating dog biscuits and hiring his brother? We were a circus.

Cardinals, far worse.

It was my narrative from the first game. That win vs. the Jets felt different from the get go. We were not stupid for a change.

Right on my man! BBFS makes people say "wait and see" - but it is clear they know what they are doing. Yes, it is clear even if they go 3-13. Stuff happens. But it probably won't.
