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.

If Milano was there vs Jacksonville Bortles doesn't run wild. And with Edmunds instead of Preston he wouldn't have had all those yards either, IMHO.

I disagree. Allen is almost a free spin of the wheel. We got the pick from KC for taking Tre White - no loss vs. Mahomes there. We moved up for Cordy, who we did not want. And one of the two seconds was for Sammy, who we did not want. He did what he had to do to take a shot at a franchise guy with almost zero loss of draft capital. Masterful. So I do not think Beane's career is dependent on Allen. Even taking a shot at our franchise QB, we had 7 other picks this year (including a #1), and all our picks next year. If Allen is terrible they can do it again. But I bet he is awesome.

It appears no team had Rosen higher. Won''t be any proof forthcoming. Rosen is going to fail in the league I am willing to bet. So were the teams that passed on him.

Will be there - will be cool!

Agree. Totally intrigued to see what Neal does in camp. Highlights he kills people. Could be a good "big nickel" -

Great stuff. Thanks.
