  1. They drafted the next LT this year and he'll get a couple of seasons to mature as the swing tackle.
  2. How many significant plays did Bernard make two seasons ago?
  3. And you've made this determination based upon what? His rookie season as a raw, developmental player? His athletic measurables are off the charts.
  4. One of the biggest stories heading into the season is how Dorian will fill Milano’s huge shoes. I just read today’s article in The Buffalo News about his background, and it sure is hard not to root for this kid. Really hoping for a Bernard-like awakening this season…he definitely has the tools and a good head on his shoulders.
  5. Wrong on so many levels. I can’t think of a Bills fan who would want Lamar instead of Josh. There is literally no reason to “hate” on Lamar; it’s not as if he voted himself MVP. It is reasonable, however, to question the voters who continue to ignore Josh’s production and, by comparison, his success in the playoffs. As for Lamar’s play last night…he did what he could to keep them in the game. He’s not a refined, accurate passer and never has been, but he made play after play and was a toe away from sending that game to OT. He’s always going to miss throws you think he should make, but he’s also going to make plays only he can make.
  6. They will survive.
  7. Unranked only because she was out 9 months with an injury. She is a top 10 talent. Great grit and determination by Jess tonight. I watched the whole thing on my iPad with the football game on the big screen. She did Buffalo proud.
  8. Jesus Christ, man…talk about putting some bad mojo in this thread.
  9. Two captains sounds about right...and the advisory committee means they get feedback from the team as a whole.
  10. Yeah, I guess I'd use the word "transition" rather than "reset." Just semantics...lol.
  11. Fair enough. I just don't think you ever are "giving up" on a season, and there were legitimate reasons to move on from all of the players you mention. I think Beane realized that group wasn't going to get it done.
  12. The only thing good about this game is that one team gets an L. From a Bills perspective I think we’d rather have the Ravens win an ugly game, since their division is tougher and KC appears to have a cakewalk in the West.
  13. You are just full of incorrect takes. The show was Kyle’s, and Josh was simply a regular Tuesday guest for a segment.
  14. This is probably the statement I am most tired of reading on this board, because it is patently untrue.
  15. That is amazingly specific. You need help. 😂
  16. To be fair...do we really know what we have in Damar? Pre-heart issue he was a young player learning the position who had his ups and downs. Last year was a wash, and an accomplishment simiply to get back on the field. But he has had three (four?) years in the system now and by all accounts had a terrific camp. Can we at least pretend that perhaps he has matured and learned the position and is ready to contribute?
  17. Pardon my French, but bullsh**. Beane reshuffled the cards, but it's not a throwaway season by a longshot.
  18. See my comments above. I don't consider the Chiefs to be markedly better than the Bills overall.
  19. I agree for the most part with your second paragraph. Not so much the first. Nobody in Buffalo complained about Diggs his first two years here.
  20. Except that's not how the analysis works. Beane could take the Diggs hit this year because he reshuffled the roster and we suddenly became a lot younger (and cheaper). Are you honestly going to tell me the Chiefs' roster looks markedly better on paper?
  21. While I think some fans tend to overrate their players, there are many who underrate them as well. I find that there are more of the latter in this forum. Where we agree (I think) is that Josh alone makes this a team opponents fear. I just think the supporting cast is more talented than a lot of others do.
  22. They ALL will. The goal of this offense is that all of the receivers can play all of the positions. I’d go so far as to say the actual depth chart is pretty useless.
  23. Bye Stef. See ya in Houston.
  24. Do you have a specific definition for “star” other than All-Pro? I’d say the Bills have a number of guys on the offense besides Josh I’d call stars — Cook, Kincaid, Dawkins — several more who are above-average and/or rising — Shakir, Samuel — and a couple of rookies who could surprise — Coleman, Davis. On defense, Ed Oliver is a star. Taron Johnson is a star. Rasul Douglas is a star. Terrell Bernard is a star. Rousseau looks primed to become a star. Daquan Jones is, at worst, above-average. Benford is above-average. The front seven of this defense should be fierce. The only place we’re unproven is at safety, and I’ll put my faith in McD’s ability to coach up the secondary. They’ll win at least 12.
