Well, we all knew he looked fat. Glad to hear he is committed to being in shape. He had a “down” year last season and we need him to be an above average LT again.

You’re such a tool. And a one-trick pony.

I'm with ya, man. And Mort was such a huge part of us getting inside information pre-internet. Mort, Clayton, that blonde with the bug-eyes whose name escapes me right now...

McD says few things publicly that don't have a purpose. His comments about Rodgers and Hackett, to me, send the message that he knows Hackett hasn't "called" a game with Rodgers in his career.

Richard Todd era. Awesome. Bills by a billion.

I think it's clear by now that the players really like the Smurf getups. I'm guessing the players and/or captains have a big say, and obviously this means the Jests are wearing white.

This aged well. 🤡

What didn't you like? He was an insider before there were insiders. Never biased that I noticed, just a lot of good info.

Came across this tweet today... I will note that the 48% does NOT include Milano or Tre White, whom most say McD drafted using Whaley's prep work. And if we ignore specialists and focus on the O and D starting 22, the percentage is actually 55%. So, is that good? Not good?

I think a lot of NFL GMs disagree with you. If given the chance to draft Burrow or Allen I think it's probably 3-to-1 for Allen. And with respect to the FilthyTroll, I stand by my assessment.

Anyone else of the opinion that perhaps Benford was just severely overlooked and under-drafted coming from a school like Villanova? I'm more impressed with Benford than I am disappointed in Elam. I still think Elam is going to play a bunch this year. Best news is that Dodson is on the bench. That dude sucks. Finally some interior OL depth also, with Bates and Edwards. I just hope Bernard doesn't shite himself Monday night. Kirksey needs to get ready fast.

Dude, literally everything you post is a deliberate attempt to inflame Bills fans. Are you that miserable a person? Go somewhere else! Friggin’ troll. 🧌

Well, that’s one way to blow up any chance of rehabilitating your reputation. What a friggin’ troll.

First of all, RIP to that young man. Way, way too young. Second, I agree with you. Marrone just ruined him. EJ’s psyche needed a coach like Sean Payton or Andy Reid, and he got a douchebag instead. That’s not an excuse for EJ, but it is an explanation. Different guys need different buttons pushed to reach their potential. The Bills failed EJ, and EJ didn’t have the mental makeup to overcome it.

Love the Manningcast. Have to decide whether I’ll watch it during the Bills games or just record and watch later.

Pretty sure I posted in that original thread that my pick is James Cook. I’ll stand by it. The Jests can be run on, and Cook is going to be a big part of the passing game as well.

And by the same token, some (intentionally or not) go completely the other way and prepare themselves for disappointment by predicting that less happy outcome. There is nothing wrong with being optimistic about something over which you have absolutely no control. And it sure as hell beats the alternative.

He’s the biggest “bro” on the board. All about the testosterone, machismo, and bragging about the women he has bagged. 😂

My rationale has logic and reason behind it. It’s not some pipe dream. People need to wake up and understand that other teams fear playing the Bills more than we fear playing them.

It doesn't make sense to me right now, for several reasons: 1 -- I expect McD to be a lot more aggressive than Leslie was. 2 -- Dorsey has had all offseason to work on a short passing game to get the ball out of Josh's hands quickly, and he now has the tools to do so. 3 -- We significantly upgraded LG and Torrence "looked the part" at RG during preseason. I believe the Bills will go into this game with a specific, structured plan to offset the Jests' DL strength. I trust Dorsey more than I trust Hackett on the other sideline, and the truth is that this Jests' offense really hasn't faced "live ammo" yet. Don't forget that the sharp Vegas money is on Buffalo as a favorite in this game. Just because we're Bills fans doesn't mean we always have to predict failure.

Your ability to talent-assess franchises has always been lacking, my friend. I don't think very many people would agree with you that the Jests' OL is better than the Bills' OL.

For every NFL matchup you can sit down and come up with a half dozen reasons why one or the other team will win, but it typically comes down to who is more talented and who makes fewer mistakes. When I look at this matchup it comes down to the following: whose OL will do a better job? Both teams have excellent defenses with strong fronts and secondaries. Which OL will give their QB the chance to make plays? On paper the Bills' OL is much better than the Jests' OL. I think that will be the difference maker...Allen will get enough time to make plays, while Rodgers will be constantly harrassed. The Bills now have the players to run legitimate 12 personnel sets. They haven't had that before, and it puts pressure on the Jests' D. I don't think this will be a one-score game. Bills by 10.

I agree with your post except the part quoted above. The NFL doesn’t “need” the Jets to be hyped because they are always hyped. And once and for all, the league is not scripted or “fixed.” The NFL benefits from a blowout Bills win that sends the NYC media into a frenzy just as much as a Jets win.

By all accounts Tre looked great at camp.

Ah, yes, who can forget Leif Larsen. Unfortunately he had all the mobility and flexibility of a giant sequoia.
