    Did we ever get an update on Taron Johnson's injury or the timeline until he will return?

    NO!  But, he wasn't put in IR, so apparently not a break.  Some sort of soft tissue injury.  Of course, he could still be out 4 or more weeks depending on healing.

    We are very fortunate to be in this situation, considering the demise of Tre White and the malaise of Kaiir Elam. Hats off to Beane and co. for managing to replace  an enormous amount of unrealized potential with a trade and a day 3 pick. 

    HOw has White done in LA? Starting cb I think!

  2. It looks like Bean has done another wiff her, approaching the miss of Von Miller signing.  Bass not worth the money Bean just paid him.  I admit, didn't see this coming.  Bass has lost capability since earlier years.  This is a question of being in love w your own draft choices.  I wonder if anybody else in the league would have given Bass that contract.  Bean needed to let him walk, but paid him instead.

    My two cents on this is Douglas walks for a contract the Bills are unwilling to pay, they draft a CB with one of their first 3 picks next year and that player is the eventual starter opposite Benford. I dont ever see Elam being that guy here and all the evidence points to that being true. Ingram, while a great story is probably at best a placeholder starter.

    Yes, Elam is another Ronald Darby at the Bills.  Doesn't fit the system.  He will play in the NFL, however, for 10 years, like Darby.  (at Jacksonville now, I think, after being w the Eagles)

    The Rogers fellow is good. 

    YEs, he can still throw the rock.  Looks like the Jets will be the main competition for the Bills on the divisional title race.  He isn't Josh in terms of a running threat, but, he is absolutely dropping it on a dime to the receivers.

  5. Miller made it onto the stat sheet at least.   The one sack he got was a system sack, he was just there to touch the Qb so he got the stat.  He is not what he once was, and the Bills made a bad investment in him.   LEts hope he can do a little this year, and will be gone next year.

    At one point Tucker commented how well Edwards and McGovern were doing run blocking.

     

    The whole 'bad snap' thing was a media-created camp narrative - a couple lost snaps under center that Josh himself said were his fault with sweaty hands, and some imperfect shotgun snaps at the very beginning of camp that Josh, McGovern, and McD all said early on were non-issues 

    I was surprised to see Edwards is bigger than McGovern.  So, the line isn't downsized anyhow.

    We didn’t look good last year week 1….

    McD doesn't focus on getting ready for the first game in training camp.  to many evaluations on third level options.  The regualrs need some real bullets to get ready, and they don't get them in McD's camp;.   So we get healthy bot not ready regulars.  How many oine penalities did we have?  those guys have forgotten some football imho.  Of course, the official were just as bad.  That call on Ingram in Q1 was terrrrrible.

    Hate how the Bills are so slow to incorporate rookie defenders when other teams do so with great success.

    The is McD's system which is complicated to learn.  Play a simple reactive D, and rookies can contribute right away.  McD's D is akin to Rex's in that regard.  Its a system D and some folks don't fit what they want or don't know what the correct reaction is.

    Elam still looks to me that he can be coached up to NFL level. But why are the Bills not doing that?

    McD's D is a system D, and Elans great athletic skils don't translate apparently.  Another case like ronald Darby who now starts for the Jags btw.  I don't like that method, as I always found , in my business, the best result was to taylor the system to the talent available, and not be rigid about the system.  So, I am not a McD believer in that regard.

  10. Find out where the airline crews watch, and they will be watching.  Old trick.

    Also, a US Armed Forces hotel will have it.  AFN used to work, but, maybe not so much now.  I don't know the military presence in Spain, but there is some.

    Are there any Bills Backer Bars in Charleston, SC? Looking for somewhere in the area to watch the TNF game in Week 2. Thanks!

    There used to be a page on this website that listed the out of town locations for Bills Backers.  Looked up a few back in the day.

    ESPN just released some predictions for 2024. Bills 7 - 10. Vikings #1 overall pick.  In some alternate universe, I’m ok with this.  Three picks in the 50, plus some cap space to play around with.  Things could be worse.

    With all they have had to do this year, "shorting" the Bills this year is definitely a play imho.  I am not a low as 7-10 though, more like 10-7 or 9-8.  Not sure how to bet the off year however.

    Having the Vikes #2 next year would make them at #1 pick really interesting.  (the #33 pick)

    Before anyone says anything, I get it, all the Training Camp practices to date have been no pads. 
     

    Today in pass coverage, Milano was getting burned by the RB’s. I’m concerned his leg injury is going to take another year to fully heal before Milano is back to his normal self. While Tre White and Von Miller had different types of leg injuries, we’ve seen both players come back the next season from their injuries and did not produce at the level they did before their injuries. Tre did look like his old self at the start of last season (two years removed from his injury), before his season ending injury. Von Miller stated he probably shouldn’t have played last season as he was ineffective in his return. 
     

    If Milano is struggling in pass protection now, should the Bills limit his play this season (or at least early on?) Also, what is the Bills backup plan if Milano struggles? We don’t need AJ Klein brought out of retirement again.

    Let's hope Dorian Williams is ready for prime time.  He showed flashes last year, so I am hopeful.  And, I buy your premise here.

    My surprise cut will be Cam Lewis. This guy never makes a play. I know they brought him back but if the kid from Utah can start that means he is the fourth safety on the team. And if Elam can push Benford for reps then you can get rid of Lewis and let Benford play safety in the dime package. 

    Regrettably, Benford can't seem to stay on the field.  Injury prone, hasn't played a full season for the Bills I think.  so, counting him in multiple roles piles risk on risk.
