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).

Jerry is the hero of the negative nincompoops on this site. Just wait -- they'll turn on him too.

Somebody please post if Josh said anything other than: "Out here working and getting better each day" "Iron sharpens iron" "I love this team and playing for Buffalo" Thank you.

^^^^^^^ @BillsVet -- like I said, no sense of humor. Sad.

One reasonable assessment of the situation is that Beane was intrigued by the possibility of AB on the Bills and made further inquiry -- as would any competent GM. Once it became apparent that the tradeoff between trade compensation and AB's contract demands did not fit, Beane stepped away. Another assessment is that Beane wanted AB badly but AB told Rosenhaus "anybody but Buffalo" and that's where it ended. In either case, I don't think anyone could have predicted or foreseen the frostbite/trench foot/helmet saga that has ensued. And for that, I think Beane is breathing a huge sigh of relief.

I'm definitely planning to get Allen for my QB2 in the league that lets me play two.

Lighten up, Francis...the thread was an obvious joke, but I realize by now you have no sense of humor. I don't listen to or read Sully and haven't in years because he's just a miserable prick. But you know what? I don't listen to ANY local Buffalo radio shows because I hate on-air homerism just as much as I hate overly exuberant pessimism. I read the Buffalo News articles because I think Vic is a well-connected guy and he isn't always looking for the pessimistic angle. I read The Athletic for the same reason. I just want balance. Have you ever been the one guy in the room who doesn't get the joke? Yes, I bet you have.

"I know we're 10-2, but if we just had a gosh darn #1 WR..."

Is anyone who claims to be a Bills fan still upset Beane didn't trade for this clown?

Yeah, we were excited about Josh's play against 3rd stringers and heard he was finally getting a few 1st team reps in camp. And then reality struck. This year does feel a bit different, although I'm sure I've said that before as the unabashed homer I am.

I think people are forgetting that while Wade's two big plays are a nice story, in reality he is still a "babe in the woods" with respect to American football and no team in their right mind would put him into a regular season game in which he might botch the play call or miss a blocking responsibility. Preseason is the perfect situation for him to learn. When (not if) the Bills release Wade I can't imagine him being claimed by another NFL team to their active roster, and the Bills should certainly put him on their own PS in the exempt position, where he can learn for a year.

Yeah, that team was 3-6 and headed nowhere but turned it around to win 6 in a row before...the unspeakable.

^^^^^^^ @Chandler#81 gets it.

Lacey flashed for me as well (I even started a thread about it). You didn't mention Darryl Johnson but his sack/FF was a thing of beauty. I don't see how the Bills can let pass rush talent like that get away, particularly when they drafted him.

Bullet. Dodged.

The only good thing you can say about how the QB room was managed last season is that they made sure there were no unreasonable expectations for Allen. I agree that looking back, all of the experience he gained last season is invaluable, and I do think Josh will be farther along entering this season than if he had held a clipboard all of last year.

That is correct. A player designated as PUP must be promoted to the active roster by week 6 of the regular season or placed on IR, and a player on PUP does not count against the 53.

Did I just see a Sully article linked on the front page of TBD? Of course I won't click on it, but the "preview" seems to suggest Sully thinks this team is "different" and will take a big step forward. We're screwed.

Tell that to the 37 players who don't make it onto their respective NFL teams' regular season rosters. Every coach in the NFL values preseason to some extent. Perhaps four games is too many, but it is not a "waste of time" to anyone except fans who only care about the stars and no-doubt starters.

No injury, just didn't dress. If you've noticed this weekend, a lot of "no doubt" starters have been rested by teams. Brown is clearly the #1 receiver for the Bills, based upon his performance in practice and via every media member who has commented on the subject. He and Allen have had lots of work together in camp.
