Frazier saying the Bills will continue to utilize a DL rotation does not mean Von Miller won't be on the field at the biggest and most important moments.

His old what?

I feel like @Awwufelloff should edit the thread topic daily. It's the least he could do for starting it.

Mongolian Buffet, baby!

Nailed it. You can tell Fitzy looks at Josh with admiration, awe, and a touch of envy. Josh is the QB Fitz wanted to be but couldn’t because of his physical limitations.

I do. Of those 4 road playoff losses only one was “bad” (AFCC two years ago). At the Jags we had no offense and still only lost by 3, and the other two (Houston and KC) we should have won. Stop worrying. But I think we’ll get the #1 seed anyway.

That’s because “radios” are extinct.

Doesn’t basically every kid who grows up playing football “want” to play for the Cowboys? It’s kind of like playing baseball and wanting to be a Yankee. Just one of those things. And then you grow up. Miller is from Texas. It makes complete sense he’d think about finishing his career in Dallas, and doesn’t move the needle one bit for me as to his motivation/dedication now that he is a Buffalo Bill. Pretty much a non-story aside from Cowboy fans’ wet dreams of what could have been.

Hitting the bottle a little early today?

Well I'm very concerned and wouldn't be surprised if @FilthyBeast finds himself on the outside of this forum looking in at some point soon.

It's not a thread unless you're "very concerned" about something...did you read several posts above yours that the post you quoted was a joke?

I’m not an OL expert by any means, but (a) it took Dawkins half a season to get over Covid, (b) Bobby Johnson was/is awful, and (c) they will enter this season with a more athletic line that suits zone blocking schemes more appropriately. Dawkins and Morse are studs, Saffold is an upgrade, Bates played adequately when they finally put him in there, and Brown hopefully makes a nice 2nd year jump. There is actually reason for optimism if you look for it. Quessenberry, Mancz, and Doyle are decent depth, and probably Boettger too if he is recovered. And Beach Chairs — the single best move the Bills made on their coaching staff. I just don’t believe the OL is going to be the Bills’ weakness or hold them back.

Yeah, yeah…you guys have convinced me. I didn’t include Peters for the reason I stated, not because I hold some ridiculous grudge. I do believe the OL will play at a much higher level this year for a number of reasons, but I understand the comments about moving Dawkins inside and making it even better.

I see a lot of Jason Peters in this thread. While he’s a stud and probably a HOFer, would he make this particular team that much better? Dawkins is playing at a very high level. For my money I’m going with players who are no-doubt difference-makers when compared to the current guys. Nate Clements and Mario Williams are easy choices. For my third I’ll address my biggest concern for the season and go with Brian Moorman.

My biggest concern for this team isn’t on offense or defense. It’s special teams. Reasons: 1st-time coordinator punting sucked last year punt returning sucked last year My hope is that the Bills punt no more than 40 times this season and somebody on this roster turns into a reliable returner. I truly believe only massive failures by the punting units can derail this train.

Has anyone ever called Daniel Jones “Danny Dimes” aside from the title of this thread?

Yeah, he’s athletic. I’m just not sure about the “talented” part.

Hard working and smart only gets you so far in the NFL. At some point the athletic talents need to take over.

Nope, it was a day earlier.

Yeah, I'm not as concerned with all-time rankings...stats can be helped/hurt by so many factors over a career. We agree he is a totally legit HOFer.

This is an easy one. Love Fitz, but no.

I think it’s splitting hairs to a degree. I do believe having Thurman for most of his career was a limiting factor on Kelly’s stats. He was an elite thrower of the football and there was no QB tougher. Great leader as well (at least on the field).

I don't remember, but it looks like he left when Rex was canned. No idea whether or not McD tried to keep him.

Except that he clearly does.

Can't forget this one either...
