Agreed. I think there’s a decent chance they finish 4th in that division this year and Kliff’s seat will start to get a little warm.

The Rams are still the favorite.

Yeah but still…spoon feed me please?

No, for the same reason that I thought it was dumb for Sean Payton to run plays for Taysom Hill when he had Drew Brees. If your QB1 is the best player on the team, why do you EVER take the ball out of his hands? I hope the only action Trubisky sees this season is during the next three weeks and then mop-up duty of blowout wins.

This is without a doubt the biggest criticism I have of those who bashed Allen after his 2018 and 2019 seasons. It's the same for those who bashed him pre-draft. Those folks only looked at raw statistics and a few high(or low)lights. A lot of us who watch every play of every game knew what was there; it's why before last season I predicted Josh would finish in the top 5 of MVP voting. I'm not upset at, and don't begrudge, those who have now flipped their narrative on Josh. Hopefully they have learned a thing or two.

LOL look six posts above yours.

Agreed on all points. It's the same thing that drives me insane about Chris Brown -- who by the way is nowhere near the journalist Wawrow is.

Cowherd had Palmer on his show early after Josh was drafted and was at least willing to accept the notion he could be special. He’s been relatively fair to Josh thus far, and this was a very nice “tip of the cap” to Josh and the Bills for doing things the right way.

Nobody's "giving" the Bills to Austin or anywhere else. Don't you have a cheaters forum you can visit?

Glab is a train wreck. At least Cynthia I can get behind…

This, I think, is just Timmah being Timmah. He even prefaces the comment by reminding the reader he's from Cleveland. I'm not worried about the Bills leaving. NYS won't let that happen.

New article in The Athletic debunking much of what has leaked out through the press. Good stuff, should make people feel a bit better. It's a paid site. Cliff Notes version: PSE doesn't expect 100% taxpayer funding, Bills would continue to play at Highmark while new stadium across the street is built.

I don't think she's leaving NFLN...this may just be a side gig during the preseason.

Apparently McD told GMFB that "some" of the starters will play Friday and some will not. Music to my ears.

You see, a player's contract is not just about that player. It's about the players who came before and those who will come after. One guy takes a 20% haircut for no reason other than to "do the team a favor" and how does his agent feel? How about the next set of players up for contracts? It simply doesn't work that way. NFL players have an average playing career of less than 4 years, the last I checked. They have to "make bank" while they can. You can't compare market-rate contracts for superstars in the professional sports leagues with what "average Joes" can or can't live on. Josh did what he should have done, and the Bills don't begrudge him that because he also structured the deal more favorably to the team than he had to.

Oh, the days in the mid-90s of trying to find a sports bar in Atlanta with a big dish to catch preseason games…

The “home team discount” stuff is and always was b.s. These players can’t afford to not seek their market value (unless they have a wife who makes more than they do). What makes this a “good” contract for Buffalo, and hence a win for both sides, is keeping the next several years’ cap hits relatively low and giving Beane flexibility down the road.

“Very high on” is the coachspeak equivalent of “we are praying he doesn’t suck.” By the way, has Lief Larson managed to bend at the waist yet?

The future is now.

Josh — 1-2 series each game (simply to break a sweat) Diggs/Beasley — Bubble wrap Morse — only when Josh is playing Rest of offense — as much work as coaches think they need Tre/Levi/Hyde/Poyer/Hughes — Bubble wrap Edmunds/Milano — 1-2 series each game Rest of defense — let ‘em fight it out, particularly on the DL McKenzie — PR/KR all preseason

Anyone else LOL at the Jets tag line #TakeFlight? I read that as a suggestion to anyone considering signing with them.

Sounds to me like this was a total win-win for both Allen and the Bills — if you believe (as I do) that the kid will just keep getting better.

Pretty sure I called Zimmer one of my “don’t be surprised if he’s on the 53” guys earlier this spring. He has physical ability combined with the intangibles this organization loves.

A - the Bills reported one player was symptomatic. B - “multiple weeks” isn’t technically incorrect. C - a big lineman is exactly the type of guy for whom I’m concerned about having a more serious reaction to infection. D - it’s just my opinion and obviously I hope Dawkins is ready to roll. Go Bills
