A lot to unpack right here. “To be honest” — one of the most telling phrases in our language. It’s either simple laziness or a suggestion that the speaker feels a need to alert his audience that he’s not full of b.s. THIS time (which is typically untrue). What REALLY “strains credulity” is that you took the time to come into a thread about a topic you “honestly” don’t care about to demean those who do have an opinion — not to say the board creator and administrator himself! Well done, you.

Bummer about your mom, man, but good on you moving back to help. I’ll always love the Williamsville/Amherst area; if I ever moved back it would be there, Orchard Park, or downtown.

Did we trade for Ertz yet?

The crowd noise will be insane when the Bills are on D. The more I think about this game the less worried I become.

Weapon?

Well I'm glad you're giving away all of McD's secrets to our opponents...you know they are all over this board, right? Geesh.

It's a victim mentality. Don't feed it, don't empathize with it, and (as others have noted) deflect attention to something positive if you can't get away from that person.

What about being axed? Or given a pink slip? Booted? Kicked to the curb?

But was HE standing next to Hannah Buehler in a photo last week TOO?

I'm sorry, I had to stop reading there.

Umm, they have just a wee bit larger population base to draw from…

Are you going to be writing your voice of the fan editorials again this season?

Gotta get the papers, get the papers... Oh, and I second the Allentown recommendation but I'd rent an AirBnB rather than stay in a hotel. We do that all the time when we come up.

You may be surprised to learn that Kelly is indeed called Jimmy. In fact, it’s in his email address. Don’t ask me how I know…I just do.

Come for the practice reports, stay for the TE hand-wringing…

4 or 5 punts, 2 or 3 FG attempts, 3 or 4 PATs…probably anywhere from 9-12 long snaps per game. Nobody says a thing when they’re all good snaps, but miss one… It’s a very underrated skill and position. That’s catchy. Somebody should use that as a slogan.

I’m blind but not stupid.

All I really need is for my marker to accurately denote that aside from my wife the Bills are my one true passion.

C’mon, Coach. Have you not watched Daboll’s offense? The Bills absolutely view the position differently, and it’s hard to argue with the results of the past two years. Unless you’ve got a Kelce or a Kittle, to the Bills it’s a JAG position.

There’s an open practice today? Cool!

100% yes.

@MasterStrategist good info, but I expect Kumerow to be a part of ST on a regular basis…just a thought.

Yeah, I get the impression they want the seats to be more comfortable and have the stadium built in a way that protects many (most?) of the fans from extreme weather. I have no problem with any number between 60-65K (not that they’ve asked me). Can’t wait to see some renderings of the proposed build (I would like to see some drawrings).

I really think the Fish are going to be a mess unless Tua suddenly becomes a star. What Flores did last year in managing the QBs was borderline negligence, and now reports are that he had to have a team meeting to tell them Tua is “our QB” amid the Watson rumors. Flores brought some toughness and discipline to the Fish but I don’t think they are any better than a 9-10 win club.
