Yup, an old slow CB can't do the job. I am thinking about..Josh Norman, Vontae Davis.....etc etc. McD likes old and takes slow as the penality.

this is mcD's style. Old slow experienced guys.

Bad situation. Bills can't pay him the full market price. Paying Josh has its consequences. HE may well sit until week 10, and get to free agency. A plausible outcome. The Bills have other backs, and he would not, then, have a fancy set of 25 stats to hit the market with. I, for one, like this rb by committee. Lets do 1/3 each and let the chips fall where they may. Cook demanding more playing time sounds like Diggs, even though he is supposedly of good character. His brother coaching him on this I think, and that means he is likely gone, one way or the other. So be it, we have our QB, and will do what we do with the tools at hand.

Codrington is only only a return man. He is to small for a db job, we saw that last year. Shannult may be a return man and a receiver. Flexibility then. Lets see how it plays out. One or the other makes it unless there is another surprise return guy.

We know this source has it right how?

I learned in industry, a dog in one setting can be a star in another. Perhaps he just needed a fresh start. Maybe the McD culture didn't mesh w his worldview. Such things happen. I wish him well. (not the 'boys, but Elam)

The word is grounded, not cheap.

Well, yes. And, I expect the Bills to negotiate hard and not sign stupid deals that will handcuff them down the road. Let each team and player represent their interests, and let the chips fall where they may.

I have not seen that level of play from him in his games against the Bills. Actually, Beane traded Sammy Watkins........and Cordy Glenn.....perhaps more.

Dec 28 will tell the tale. Gonna be a tough game for both teams that day.

Josh appears on the Manningcast and seemed like friends w the QB Manning bros to me.

Buffalo has seen a lot of bad coaches. McD is not one of those bad ones. He is in the top 10 best in the league, and perhaps the top 5. Bills: NO action required.

How about Preston Ridelhuber? (threw Charlie Fergonson a TD pass on the halfback option I think) 60's

Darby was a man cover CB and not skilled in McD's zone coverage game. Darby was not with the program and got dealt away quickly.

The announcers all get into delivering their pre prepared material and forget to announce the games. Bothersome to say the least.

Terrell Owens was a one year Bill. He had a good year and was a total pro in Buffalo, as opposed to his situation with other teams. I remember a 90 odd yd TD pass from Fitzpatrick to Owens one time. Maybe still holds the Bills record for longest TD.

If he is as hard a worker as Josh Allen, he will do fine. But, I don't k\now his work ethic, do you?

Josh was a raw talent. The team ownership and management scouted Josh personally, including a flight to a meeting in Wyoming to interview him. They bought the character of the man, not his state of polish for the pro game. They judged he was going to make it big because of his character. So, give not only Bean and McD credit for the selection, the Pegs were also involved and shared the judgement. Best decision Bean has made by far, and perhaps the best he will ever make.

Yeh, Penex may yet wash out. Wow, worse than Fitz

I am a snowbird Buffalo local who is a uttv subscriber. I don't buy ticket when up north, but when I get south I look at it. Last year, the second half of the season was available half price. I don't recall any limitations on streaming devices though. And, I made sure to unsubscribe after the season so they didn't auto renew me for 25. Might do the same this year, but, will assess the schedule and how many Bills parties we might attend and not need the ticket at all. Folks don't really like Thursday or Sunday night parties we have learned. A number have to work the next day.

Depends on how they do in 25 though.

The MNF Joe Ferguson/Ahmed Rashad beat of the Raiders, (70's) Bills tried to give it away in the last two minutes...giving up a TD return of a fumble after it was won. But, Fergy and Rashad went and got another TD. The guy sitting next to me left after the Bills blew it, but I stayed for the fantastic comeback. And, the next home game, I got to ask the guy next to me if he had heard what happened after he left the prior week!😁

I remember years where the receivers were so banged up we were playing guys off the street at wr. Gailey years, and further back. Better have wr depth or you can loose the season.

Your prediction is ok, lots of plausible arguments to make it reasonable. I note no consideration for the in stadium fans however, and that is also real. My view is that the NFL is a TV studio sport now where the studios are also called stadiums. The fans don't matter as the COVID year proved. Hence, night games in the winter in Buffalo. I gave up my seasons as I couldn't hack the cold and late nights anymore. I am still a fan, but, there are other TV choices I consider as well. We just need to recognize that the NFL is about maximizing revenue, and actual physical fans in the seats are really optional.

Or let him walk. He won't be getting 17 tds next year. somebody else will carry the mail inside the 10.
