Truly one of a kind. HBD Marv!

Thank you for clarifying your obvious bias. Now I know I don't need to argue the point further.

The Bills match up just fine with the Bengals when we have our full complement of defensive players.

The only reason Harty's numbers don't dwarf Li'l Dirty's is because of injury -- which is relevant, but I'm working under the assumption that Harty can stay reasonably healthy now that he has the NFL's best training staff. Li'l Dirty just wasn't reliable. He'd have a big game (like the Pats* in '21) but disappear for large stretches. He did not do a good job in the slot. I'll go with Harty/Sherfield/Y2 Shakir over Li'l Dirty any day.

11-23 as a HC and riding a current 6-game losing streak.

Saleh is a successful HC? I think the jury is still out on that one…

I don’t think you can put the WRs in a vacuum; you have to include the TE room and the addition of Kincaid will make the overall passing game much stronger — as will, I believe, the increased use of Cook as a pass catcher. And even if we’re just discussing WRs, Harty/Sherfield > McKenzie and Davis was hampered last year by his boo-boo foot. The Bills’ offense should be noticeably better, IMO.

So, I’ve only watched the US-Netherlands game in this tournament so far. Are the US that bad? Looks like they should have been bounced. What happened?

Let’s allow this post to sit and age this season. Will it be fine wine, or a bottle of vinegar? Time will tell…

He also said Settle had a good day, while the Buff News this morning said Settle sat out with a groin issue.

Yours is literally the first hard-on for Nate Hackett I’ve ever witnessed. The guy is a walking example of nepotism. If “Dorsey needs Allen” then most certainly “Nate needs Rodgers.” One blip of a season with Blake Bortles didn’t make Nate a genius.

And that changed in Jacksonville? Hackett may have some good ideas but he’s no “genius.” He was a colossal flop in Denver. We will see what Rodgers has left this year.

No “significant” revenue to the teams.

Sounds like a "we're ready for our day off" kind of practice this morning...at least from the offense.

That’s funny. I used to swear at Bleacher Report. But seriously, it’s here and Twitter. Although Twitter does now suck. There are numerous podcasts that do great recaps and provide thorough analysis…Cover1 being the best of them.

I don’t think there is a single Bills fan making the determination whether to watch them on TV, or attend a game, based upon what helmet they wear. There’s no revenue in retro helmets, and the Bills jerseys of the 90s are so similar to today’s that people aren’t going to buy them either. The sole change I would like to see is the elimination of the red combo…but people buy those red jerseys so…

Is it any GM’s MO to give up on draft picks after one season? I seem to recall you also saying Beane would “never” admit his mistake with Cody Ford… Beane gives players he drafts a chance — which is just about the most normal, reasonable thing any GM would do. He also doesn’t think, as you apparently do, that a player “is who he is” after one season and can never grow or develop.

He was also joking with Diggs and Dorsey moments later, stayed to sign autographs, told media members he passed by that he was ok, and did an extended, stand-up interview with NFL Network afterwards. Never seen by trainers, no hurry to get into the locker room. I’d say your concern is a little unfounded. Seeing as how Beane spent his #1 draft pick and WR FA pool on three slot players, I’m not sure how you come to that conclusion at this point in training camp.

Based upon what exactly?

I'm sensing a "get off my lawn" isn't that far away...

That aged well. Approximately two posts well. 😂

Meh. I’ve been around the block and can differentiate between coach-speak and reality. McD and Beane would never disparage Frazier publicly. And yes, everyone is enamored with Edmunds’ abilities, but that doesn’t mean he’s “the” difference maker in today’s NFL.

If Frazier thought Edmunds was the key to having the #1 or 2 defense, it was definitely time for him to step away. This was the softest yet most obvious firing ever.

I’ve been on the Cook bandwagon since before the end of last season when I predicted he would be the Bills’ primary back this year. I doubled down in the “players you expect to break out” thread earlier this spring. It’s going to be fun to watch.

I’m disappointed, @BADOLBILZ…where are the 30 emojis in that post?
