It’s honestly been something that I’ve been wondering for a while. When I worked for the Hornets we had an invocation before every game. It was always a little uncomfortable but we did it. Then we didn’t. I don’t think one person complained when it went away. They did it for years and then they didn’t. No one cared

Why do we play the anthem before games?

This is how I voted as well.

Nicky no gloves?!?

Bell would be DANGEROUS in Andy Reid’s offense

I’ve been pretty outspoken on my thoughts on Bledsoe when he was with the Bills. If you take out the 1st 8 games that he played here he’s pretty much the same guy as Losman, Edwards, EJ, etc... If you don’t believe me, pull up the numbers. With that being said he had a few nice years prior to coming to Buffalo. I wouldn’t say that he was a total bust like Jamarcus Russell or David Carr but his career is closer to Alex Smith than Peyton Manning. He was an okay NFL QB for about 5 years and then a bad NFL QB.

....or he might just be telling the truth

So we believe that a senior NFL writer for ESPN is just making this up? That’s an odd position to take. At any rate, it makes sense from where I’m sitting assuming the price is right. He scored 38 TDs between 2016 and the start of this season. He ha averaged 106 scrimmage yards a game in that same span. The Bills lack playmakers. He makes this team better.

He thinks he doesn’t work hard. He has some physical ability but doesn’t get any better.

Not sure if this is relevant here but I try to share when I hear things. I was with my buddy that’s a scout for the Falcons Saturday and he said they’ve been trying to trade Beasley for weeks and can’t get anything. It looks like Jay Glazer reported something similar today. Also, there’s no chance that they’d ever consider trading Julio and they are going to cut Trufant in the offseason.

He’s not a game breaker imo. Regardless, it wouldn’t make them worse to have better playmakers.

The Bills could use some playmakers. I don’t really care about the position either. They need some guys that make things happen with the ball in their hands.

Gross

There are a few that are good. Pat Pete is still good. Ramsey is an idiot but elite. Lattimore and Humphrey are really good players. There are a bunch in the mix (including Tre).

I agree with all of this. Tre made the Gilmore loss okay. If Gilmore is 1, Tre is somewhere in the top 5. He’s a great, great football player (and character).

He’s one of Jim Kelly’s best friends.

He’s always been a big Bills fan. I think he’s even a season ticket holder.

I’m not sure that they focus on a big contract “elsewhere.” They focus on a big contract “anywhere.” Guys aren’t just trying to get out of Buffalo. They are trying to get paid.

Tre is ELITE. His game has no holes and he is a high character guy. He’s one of the best players in football.

He will get the invite I think. This is the most complete Buckeye team that I can remember. Outside of QB depth there is nothing holding them back. They can dominate the game from every level on the field with the possible exception of the LBs (and they are much improved). Every other position group can completely take over a game. It’s insane.

I’d give 3 1sts for Chase Young

Got it, he didn’t break in because the door was unlocked. We are in agreement on the vacuum hose though correct? https://youtu.be/NO82rh760l8

Jameis was the 1st overall pick. He will be given multiple chances. Duke was in the CFL and out of the league. He EARNED his way back. Chad has numerous incidents and poor decisions. The last pick in the draft doesn’t get the same amount of rope as the 1st pick in the draft. That’s the “juice not being worth the squeeze.” He has gotten the chances because of Elway and Reich being friends with Kelly.

Just to be clear I don’t think Chad Kelly is terrible. He’s better than some guys floating out there. With that being said a guy with his talent and checkered past would likely be out of the league if not for Jim’s relationships. He falls into the “juice isn’t worth the squeeze” category.

Not flawed at all, he was the last pick in the draft. He has a laundry list of injuries and off the field incidents. His horrible decision making has been well-documented. If he wasn’t an idiot he probably would have been a mid-round pick. He’s not a “championship level QB.” That would require him to win championships. He didn’t perform well in “team situations” either. He was at the team Halloween party and asked to leave. Chad proceeded to break into the home of a married woman and was beaten with a vacuum hose. He was released shortly thereafter. He’s, maybe a top 70 QB(ish) and has red flags galore. If his name was anything else he wouldn’t be around.
