  1. Yes, excellent article...I subscribe to the Athletic, so was able to read in full.  BTW, Joe B has not resurfaced on the A, and wondering if he no longer employed there. I know he had a long paternity leave planned, but, camp is here.

    In terms of Bernard, I was surprised when he surfaced as the choice at MLB.  However, I now believe that he was drafted to play that role for the Bills, and they targeted a more mobile and active lb for MLB.  Results would say they got it right so far.  He is not yet "complete", but starting at a reasonably high level in his first season.  Yes, he was missed in the playoffs.  :(

    Im very curious now to hear peoples opinions of Clements vs Winfield now after seeing the initial list.  I always thought Winfield was far and away better than Clements 

    Clemons and Winfield were B grade players.  Made precious few big plays back in the day.  I didn't care when they left.

  3. uTube Tv has its own problems.  I am a snowbird, and can only change location twice a year under their rules.  The problem is we go back and forth at least twice a year, so I get stuck with the wrong location a lot of the time.  Can't get local content, or record local programs because I don't want to use up my location changes.  since there is no way to get this problem to a real person, I am really considering changing streaming providers.  Maybe HULU, maybe another....anyhow, I have had Utube tv for about a year, and its only so so.  I did purchase the NBA game package during my Florida time, and a family member used it in another market via a  VPN so he could see the home games of his fav team.  So, the VPN was a help there.

  4. Terry has moved on wrt to the Bills future.  His other daughter is now handling and actually has ownership (about 1%) I read.   Jessica broke the family silence with her publication about her mom's medical condition and is on the "outs" w Terry is my read.

    Lets just start with the top 5 WRs, Bills just dropped a video yesterday or the day before , so pretty much confirmed our top 5..

     

    Last year                This year

    Diggs                       Coleman

    Davis                        Samuel

    Shakir                       Shakir

    Harty                         Hollins

    Sherfield                   MVS

     

    There's obviously a huge question mark with Coleman, as with any rookie WR but should be dynamic in this O. 

     

    I'm huge on Shakir, I really think he's going to be a stud this year and eclipse 1k yards. 

     

    Huge fan of Samuel,  he does it all, you can put this guy anywhere, including the backfield and he's explosive and makes plays and that was on a terrible O with terrible QB play. Skys the limit, loved the signing. 

     

    Hollins is interesting but he's an elite run blocker , which Brady has shown,  we're running the ball, bottom line , and not a great year statistically last year but I could see him having his 22 season where he put up 57 rec 690 yards 4 TDs. This was Gabe his first 2 years and this is his replacement for much cheaper. Plus he's a certified leader..

     

    MVS , yes the drops and statistically wasn't great in the regular season but you can argue he's the reason KC won the SB. In our game he had 62 yards, 17 more yards than Kincaid who was our top guy w 45 yards. Would've loved to have him in January last year. Made huge big , long catches. Meanwhile Diggs is dropping wide open TDs which win us that game.. 

     

    And at 6 , Claypool, Hamler, Shorter etc will fight it out 

     

    Bottom line , this is a much deeper WR group. Harty/Sherfield were busts, they were awful. And with Gabe injured vs KC, it showed how weak our depth was. No offense,  but I never want to see Andy Isabella playing in a playoff game and that won't happen again with the depth added. Sherfield/Harty also had no business being out there. 

     

    Obviously Coleman is a huge key to this group and puzzle but I see no reason he can't be the guy we expect him to be. Plus Kincaid year 2. Cook year 3. Upgraded RB room

    This is going to be a fun O to watch. Probably the best we've seen with Allen because of WR depth, elite RB/TE and Brady calling plays

     

    *Not to crap on Diggs, I really admire his game and intensity, I have him as my profile picture but the fact that Beane ate 30+ mil and took a future 2, clearly they thought he was just to disruptive in the locker room, as a leader. The Cincy game leaving his teammates,  as a captain, speaks volumes.

    McBeane has built this team on family and doing your 1/11th on o and d and Diggs just didn't fit that culture. Good luck but good riddance 

     

    Isabella has wheels, and McD sees something or else he would not be here.

    Big mistake by the bills by not having him back. He’s a weapon. 

    He was never coming back to the Bills after the shabby treatment they gave him when he was accused.  No presumption of innocence by the Bills.  Perhaps the worst treatment I have seen the Bills give a player in memory.  (and I have been around a long time)  This is a reflection on those decisions by Bean, McD and undoubtedly the Pegs as well. Who knows, the NFL might have even pressured the decision.  Anyhow, no spine or principles on display by the Bills administration in this case.

    Good luck Matt Ariza.

    Allen is now, I believe, the 11th highest paid QB in the NFL and behind the likes of Kirk Cousins, Lawrence and Jalen Hurts.  He is $12 million below market.  Great job by Beane stepping up when he did.  That $12 million nets us at least two starters.  

     

    Interested in thoughts on when we should we extend Allen.  Seems there is no time like the present!

     

     

    Yes, but the Von Miller contract takes away two starters....so, doesn't seem like genius, seems like random luck.  Josh will get paid more at some point, he will not play out at $40 Million, as he is a top 5 player.

    I think we're going to be very good and once again in contention.  I think anyone expecting some downward turn is foolish.  

    As  a Bills fan for 50+ years,  this is the right outlook.  I lived through the 2-14 years, and it was grim.  The Bills were so bad the other team didn't have to play their regulars and coasted out of Buffalo.  I saw one game when the opposition threw 6 passes, otherwise ran the ball down the Bills throat.  (Griese the father)  Anyhow, my conclusion after those years that if the Bills fielded a team that made the opposition hustle and Bills were competitive, I would be happy.  That is more than the  case now, as the Bills will contend imho.  But, it was not always that way.

    Teams we're competing with for playoff spots all improved more than we did this off-season, so the real X factor is Joe Brady imo.

     

    Will he be a significant upgrade & be able to compensate for other losses? I'm optimistic.

     

    But we can't bank on Burrow, Rodgers, Lawrence, etc getting injured again either. 

    Still not a believer in Lawrence.

    Without my permission the BN just renewed by digital subscription for $150 for 6 months.  I called, ended up with someone in the Philippines.  Didn’t know they dumped the local customer service.  I got my price to where it was previously at $90 for 6 months, and even with that, I may be done after this period ends. 

    I had a kefuffel w them about renewal.  The wanted over $800 for the year of digital.  I just dropped them .   To many issues recent times.  Based on my friends input, I am thinking they may go under, lots of cancellations.

    Is anyone else having trouble logging into your Athletic subscription?  My email/password don't work, and the system does not send me a link to update my password.  I renewed my subscription for a year, last September.  And there doesn't seem to be any way to get help without logging in first.

    Sort of, I had to enter a new password, which I used my  old password, and I am in.  It alleges I now have access to the Athletic and the NY Times.  I don't like paying a nickel to the NYT btw.  I am bundled until I  unbundle I guess.  Of course, I knew the NYT bought the Athletic perhaps a year ago.  I am good w  sports news, but don't like the left ward spin out of the rest of the NYT content.

    I like Knox and have been a fan; however, I also acknowledge that Kincaid is the better player. Knox has a large contract to be a #2 TE. In addition, there are only so many balls to go around. I don't know if Brady is designing some diabolical two TE sets or whatever. Also, I'm aware that Knox and Allen have a good relationship. I just have a suspicion that something like a trade is going to happen. Am I nuts?

    I will buy Kincaid is a better receiver.  Blocking TE, I am not so sure.  I like having both around, and think they have a place.  I do think Knox contract is a little  rich, but, he will be around a while imho.

    This is going to be one of the biggest eating crow trades , draft picks in a long time.

     

    Ppl on here and Twitter were absolutely disrespecting the trade and not picking Worthy like crazy. It was unbelievable how bad ppl were trashing Beane n co

     

    I was personally thrilled we didn't take him. There's years of proof that guys his size and skill set are busts but he ran super fast in shorts so ppl were talking like he's a shoe in to be an elite WR 

    This isn't a good sign at all for KC

    Roscoe Parrish v 2.0 would have been his career.  Miss half the games.

    Have you taken a look at their roster? Hurts, Saquon, AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, DeVante Parker, Parris Campbell, they drafted Will Shipley, and they still have Kenneth Gainwell. I think they have a big time bounce back year and take that division with ease, especially if Barkley is healthy all season long. He is going to eat in that offensive scheme. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if they ended up in the SB again. 

    You had me until you mentioned DeVante parket

    I think Jones and Spector are battling for the Matekavic role. Special teams but offer something on defense in coverage if needed. 

    Spector can play when healthy.  But, he has been oft injured.  Even play might bring that into consideration.

    Zay had some strong games for the Jags. He turned into a far more reliable receiver than I expected. I am surprised to see them release a guy who was their wr2 or 3 for much of the past 3 seasons.

    Now that they know him, they see he is a head case (still)  We won't be seeing him in Bills uni again.
