Nah, I'd like to see six or seven mop-up appearances late in 4th quarters this year...

Don't worry, you'll see a TON of him during preseason.

I'm just going to take the time right here to remind everyone that Patrick Mahomes threw a ton of picks during his 2nd TC with the Chiefs last summer. It's not necessarily a bad thing if Josh has some bad reps -- this is supposed to be a very good Buffalo defense.

Shady is on notice of needing to show he's still "got it" during TC. They won't work him much in the preseason games but they'll be watching him very closely during practice. The wild card here is Singletary. If he just blows people away, it certainly gives the Bills options. That said, the Bills don't "need" to move Shady and I don't think they would unless it is a very good return. Shady is a guy who has clearly bought in to the culture and I still believe the Bills like the idea of Shady and Gore being in the backfield to help Josh this season.

This offense has the makings of a "WR by committee" approach...which is fine with me if all four guys are productive. Something tells me Zay is going to surprise people this year and by mid-season nobody will be making jokes about Buffalo's passing attack.

And if the first day of TC is an indication of things to come (which it may or may not) Brown looks like he's going to be "the man" at the position Foster played last year. Foster may find himself being the 4th WR in this offense.

Dude, this is great. The key line is "I can come up with a scenario for success every year." This is what the negative nellies don't understand. In my world, sports fandom means looking for plausible reasons why your team will make you happy -- not predicting ways they will disappoint. Well done.

No schitt -- we had folks on this board claiming he's a malcontent and un-coachable based upon a 2-second snippet in an Embedded episode!

Yes! I was so pleased to read that comment. McD is driven to get better himself in every aspect of the job, which means opening himself up to criticism. This is such a solid foundation they are building...god I hope the players have the combination of talent and drive to get it done. If they get on a roll, watch out.

Damn straight. McD has looked a bit clueless at times with respect to how to set up the QB room but perhaps he has finally gotten it right.

Follow your dreams, man...

Sounds like a nice start for Josh and the offense. Great to see Brown, Beasley, and Knox getting a ton of reps. Stay healthy!

Yep. Schein isn't a Bills "homer" at all but he knows the league is better when teams like Buffalo are relevant. This year's optimism is different, though -- he's really not shying away from it at all and has gone out on a limb predicting success.

He's this generation of Bills fans' Chris Berman.

Probably not. I've never been irrational. Just hopeful.

Stop the presses, I agree with C.Biscuit97 on something!

May we please pin this thread so it will be easy to find each day? Thanks.

LOL tell us how you really feel about Chan!

Marrone has a concept but he lacks imagination and flexibility. Yeah, he'll impose structure and discipline but there is absolutely nothing exciting about his coaching style. I don't want to run down the whole list but my gut tells me he's in the bottom half of NFL head coaches (meaning there are at least 16 who are better). I think Gailey is a better HC than Saint Doug if he has the right DC. He was saddled with mediocre talent and a bad DC (of his own choosing) in Buffalo, and he still managed to make things exciting for a while.

Too late (Kroft)

What he said...

Life. Altering. ...and one hell of a fruit cup.
