Bleacher Report sucks — wait, what?

I believe it’s going to be Knox (unless the Bills acquire Ertz). I believe in the kid and his teammates have raved about him. It’s been about learning the position and it sounds as though he has put a lot of effort in this offseason. Otherwise, I would love for it to be Phillips. Such a great guy; if he can tap back into that potential we saw early on it would be awesome. Also, don’t sleep on Justin Zimmer.

It’s almost chartreuse, but not quite.

Color me skeptical of Josina having any inside info on the Bills.

Huh? Maybe my sarcasm meter is on the blink. A popular line at the time..."guns don't kill people. Nigel Bradham kills people."

Best backup QB in the league and it isn't close.

To this day I remember the game against Tampa in 2000 that really ended it for Sam. He had three sacks or something like that in the 1st half and was dominating the game, then tore his achilles (I think). The Bills collapsed in the 4th and started a spiral that took them out of playoff contention.

I read that this morning. It's a really, really weird piece; the reporter makes himself look like the guy whose girlfriend left him and now he's following her around to tell everyone else she's no good in bed.

I hadn’t paid enough attention to know about the two week thing but it’s a rare instance of a league decision that benefits both the players AND the teams.

Take a look at where Fergie’s stats were when he hung the cleats up. Overrated? Ha. Also, you’re dead wrong on your college vs. pro assessment, and comparing 80s players to current players is pure folly.

Man, I hope so, because it means the Bills are in for a lot of good football. If it's still being debated in 15 years Josh will have won his share of them.

PFF sucks --- wait, what?

Absolutely. I'm glad the Bills are getting WFT in week three...I think by mid-season that team will be pretty good. Right now I like them more than the Giants or Cowboys in that division.

Exactly. The problem isn't how much you run, it's how well you run and whether you can do it when you need to.

I despise Snyder and hate for him to have any success but WFT is becoming a very likable team.

That is fantastic. WFT is going to be a tough out.

The Jauron Curse. That guy could coach up a crappy team to mediocrity like no other. It killed us.

We don't have to re-live that game...our defense had no answers and it was one of McD's poorer coaching efforts. That said, the keys to the game were the Bills' drives at the end of the 2nd quarter and beginning of the 3rd...I look at that drive sheet and think, "wow, neither defense was really stopping anyone." Anyway, on to a new year.

We have different definitions of "destroyed." In the AFCCG Buffalo had no healthy WRs yet Josh got us into the red zone repeatedly. Just couldn't punch it in. Defensively we had no answers for Hill and Kelce, I agree, but it was not "destruction" in my opinion, and I think things could certainly change this year.

Re: not being a one year wonder, I have so much confidence that this organization will not “waste” having Josh Allen or take it for granted; Beane and McD will continue trying to improve the roster. One could argue that the Packers have wasted Aaron Rodgers for much of his career. Miami wasted Marino, and until Shanahan arrived Denver wasted Elway. I am extremely interested to see how KC looks this year. I’m not predicting a collapse or anything but that OL is a work in progress and I see potential holes on D.

This should end well.

First of all, I’m not one of the fans you mention - I think you know that. But the Bills are not a one-year wonder. They’ve been built, systematically, with a plan, and right now is when they are coming into their heyday. Are there other good teams? Of course, but the Bills are likely to be favored in anywhere from 13 to 15 of their 17 games this season. They are in the same “tier” as KC, they just need to get over the hump. The Titans improved their team acquiring Julio but they have more flaws than Buffalo. Cleveland has a talented roster but some question marks on D and a QB who is beneath the level of the best in the game. Plus, Buffalo got better this offseason. It’s actually OK to acknowledge the Bills are a top-5 NFL team right now - a legitimate Super Bowl contender - and not apologize for it. That doesn’t mean you’re “dissing” anyone else in the league or predicting blowout wins each week.

“People” - no, certain Bills fans on a message board. Go figure. You’re so hell bent on tempering excitement you can’t help yourself. The Chiefs aren’t in “another tier” - they’re the back-to-back defending AFC champs but tell me, how many teams have done it three times in a row? Look at Gunner’s breakdown of their off-season. If that was the Bills you’d be predicting a 9-8 season. We all know the Browns are your new Jets (you were so right on that one) and we all know you’re still sore the Bills didn’t roll with Whaley’s roster when McD took over. You’ve been proven wrong so many times over the past four seasons I’ve lost count. Youre the guy standing in the corner waiting for a mistake to say “I told you so” and I know you’ve got a list and you’re ready to pounce - Lotulelei, Edmunds, you name it. Weird way to live your life and follow a team. If only the Bills had tendered Mike Gillislee…where we could be…

Really great story. Good for him.

The Bills didn’t “fail” to sign Watt. That’s the point. The statement makes it seem as though Buffalo tried and failed — which is not what happened. Minor point, but sloppy writing.
