If Bell is only a 1,000 yard rusher, he better have 1,000 receiving as well or that signing was a failure.

So you're saying it's a bad thing? My comment isn't particular to any coach; the bottom line is players who like and respect each other play harder for each other.

That Bates trade may wind up being one of Beane's greatest moves ever, particularly if Morse's concussion concerns don't go away. I don't think there's any way Johnson doesn't make the 53...you don't try to "sneak" pass-rushing talent like that onto your practice squad, and the word is already out.

I absolutely love Bar-Bill's beef on weck but their wings aren't truly Buffalo style. The sauce is different.

Nah, I'm sure he'll play in a couple next year too.

I'm a big fan of any off-the-field "moments" showing that the team is close and the players like each other. Culture, baby.

No.

Common man, you can't be serious.

All true, but it's still a direct salvo across Zeke's bow, particularly in light of Jerruh's comments about how Jalen has never missed a practice, never said "boo"...

It's really a stretch to say the Bills are one of the top five teams in the NFL right now. I realize many of us are high on the fumes of "the process" but let's face it -- this team hasn't proven anything yet. If I put on my "realistic" hat and avoid blatant homerism, I think one could make a reasonable argument that when you examine the franchise from top to bottom -- coaching and personnel -- the Bills have the talent to be in the upper half of the league. So that's top sixteen. I can't go farther than that until they start playing some real games.

This sounds like some legitimate "sources deep inside" stuff!

Corrected for accuracy.

Yup. I'm not counting on Mitch Morse to help this football team win games, and neither should anyone else. It seems to me to be a foregone conclusion he'll be sidelined again, sooner rather than later. Chalk this one up to taking a risk that probably won't pan out. I'm just glad Beane got other guys in like Feliciano, Long, and now Bates who have gotten a lot of reps at C during camp.

Obviously my comment was tongue-in-cheek but I appreciate the thoughtful response. Good for you.

With no significant injuries to key starters, this team will win at least 10.

After reading this I'm worried about @WIDE LEFT

One of George Foreman's greatest accomplishments.

I respect performers who now have a no phones policy at their shows. You literally have to seal your phone in a bag for the duration of the show. I don't know how that works for people who have an emergency, but I still like the fact it keeps the "concert filmers" at bay.

I think it's insanity.

I don't get this at all. Like four kids wasn't enough? Do you feel it's your personal responsibility to keep civilization going?

By the way, @BillsVet, the 14 (and counting) laughing emojis seem to contradict your assertion the post isn’t funny. I’m sure they’re all incapable of understanding your breed of fandom as well.

Nope, he’s still a prick. Kind of the point. ? Efail — hahahahaha, stop it, I can’t even hit the right keys on my keyboard I’m laughing so hard. Wait, a wedgie joke also? Like I’m a nerd in high school? Stop it, you scamp! You’re right, I’m terrible at humor and you’ve got it nailed.

And if that happens, so be it, but there's no way he should be taking up a spot on the Bills' 53 at this point in time.

I didn't read through the whole thread but I was thinking about this question and I think Allen/Barkley is probably the best duo since (gasp) Flutie/Johnson. Whether you loved/hated either one of those guys they each had talent and could be "the guy" for a while. Since Kelly and Reich the Bills haven't had that except for those two -- until now (hopefully).
