One thing I’ve noticed about the Chiefs is that they’ve practically mastered the science of timing the drive possessions during a game and then turning it up a notch to score a last minute win. Even in the game against them in Buffalo, we were up by 2 and driving in the 4th. But they did just what they had to to force a 4th down. A normal team would have kicked a FG to go up by 5. Leaving the chiefs MORE than enough time to get the ball and score the winning TD. It was like the game script was playing out perfectly for them looking at each of the drives and scores prior to that point. Until…. The Bills went for it on 4th down and Josh Allen did Josh Allen things and won the game. To beat them, when it matters the most, McD is going to have to figure out how to flip that script.

Fair point. LOL. I still wish he would be gone.

Where’s the Bills’ “camp” news?

It is a bit mind numbing that Allen and the Bills just can’t get past KC. It’s a bit like the Bills 4 SB losses. At some point, you just wondered… what can they possibly do to win? I’ve said it before and I’ll repeat it again… Beane needs to have a team of scouts that are doing nothing but watching every game KC and Reid have played and figure a way to beat them. They simply cannot rely on McD to figure it out. Four losses is enough. They have to do something a bit drastic. Adding rookies to your DLine I don’t think is gonna get it done. Also… why is it our coaches all get poached… but Spags just stays in KC forever!? And knows exactly what to do to beat Allen. WTF

You picked a great time to come in here and piss all over the FO for not doing their job. Be good, do good, God bless and Go Bills! You picked a great time to come in here and piss all over the FO for not doing their job. Be good, do good, God bless and Go Bills!

Because Cook is the last one signed. Imagine the vitriol if #50 was the guy that just signed! With his contract. Yeah. Imagine that

Maybe he’s so good on the field because he saves all his energy for when he has the ball in his hands? LOL I’m glad they got this done. I’m thinking in a year or 2, this will look like a bargain! Go Bills!

That’s what I was thinking. Without Hamlin in the poll this thread is null and void.

I been thinking it but reluctant to post it, because I’m gonna get slammed. But… if our chances for a Super Bowl hinge on ..multiple.. rookies playing well against KC…well, we’re *****. It’s kinda funny to see the reactions to rookies in their first preseason game.

I don’t completely disagree with you. My suggestion is not what happens in the NFL. And I admittedly said my “sour attitude” comment was based on the few short vids that were posted. I don’t know his real attitude. With that all said… The player is making it public when he posts on his social accounts. Or when he “holds in”. So it’s already public. All I’m saying is show up and do your job while you’re still under contract, or don’t. Let’s not forget, his current contract is good and valid. Has he out performed that contract and deserve a new bigger one? Absolutely. The only question is how much should he make now. The Bills want him to stay in Buffalo… that is well apparent. Beane has always been very fair with contracts, as well. For this one to be dragging on makes me think it’s the player or his agent. Like I’ve said in the past… pay the man. It’s not my money, I don’t care the amount. He needs to be on the team. A big however though… it’s Beane’s job to manage the cap, manage ALL the contracts, manage the situation. So we have to trust that he’s doing just that. Nothing in his past has suggested that he is low balling a player. So again with that all said… if he’s being fair.. the player should be fair.. show up and participate while your agent and the team handle their business. If not.. then just go home and don’t be a distraction.

As someone that really wants them to sign a deal with Cook, I would not allow a “hold in”. If he doesn’t want to participate and help the team, he should go home and wait till the business gets resolved. Fines or not, I don’t really care about. But I would not allow someone to just pace around with a sour attitude (granted that is based of extremely limited views on a couple X clips). Show up, work, help the team or go home till your agent calls you. (And depending on how his agent handles the negotiations, fines may or may not be coming.)

I’m gonna go ahead call it… it’s a must win!

My question is how are the Ravens fairing… or is it fare.ing in camp? Cause although almost all the Bills will be playing, I suspect. I do think they’ll be rusty and out of synch. It’s likely to be an ugly game.

Can I be worried about all the injury reports yet?

Happy Birthday Marv!

Pro tip.. go to the “about” or contact links that are at the bottom of pretty much all websites. See what you get. In this case… you get nothing but more ads. Definitely fake.

Very much agree with you. However in this instance, I imagine the red jersey was a red “no contact” jersey for practice.

I drink …started making cocktails several years back. Enjoy them nightly. I do other things when I can like house projects.. currently building a built in dresser.. and yard work… but I’m not sure that’s really a hobby as much as just what you do. I’d like to travel more for fun and less for work. One day.

The other day after the first pads practice, and they did a lot of run plays. The D line looked super good! One of the podcaster talking people things said something to the effect of… the D line should look good. It was all run plays and they all know what’s coming so they have an edge. I do think we need to keep in perspective that his is all just practice. The coaches most certainly put players in specific situations just to see how they respond.

The Bills have the unfortunate luck of being great at the same time KC is great… and call it luck, skill, or soft schedules… but the Chiefs seem to be gifted the #1 seed every year, which carries a HUGE advantage to making the SuperBowl. Think about it…. Last year the Bills had 3 losses after the Rams game, and we still needed the Chiefs to collapse to have a legitimate shot at the #1 seed. 3 losses! Thats it and we were practically playing for the 2 seed. So how do they turn that fortune around? I’m not sure they can do much better in the regular season than they have. Maybe? But it’s tough to be as good as they have been, for as long as they have been… and expect even more. For me, I think it comes down to the playoffs. If I were Beane and Terry, I would have an entire division of scouts and data analysts to look at every KC game since 2018. And target the changes they made in the post season from regular season. I would do that for teams like Baltimore, Cinci and the Texans too. But they have to be better prepared for whatever wrinkles these teams (especially KC) throw at them in the post season. It’s more than just being healthy, we’re being out schemed. I keep waiting for McD to figure it out… but at this point. They need to do something more than they have been to prepare for these post season games. It’s not Allen, it’s not the players… it’s the positions they’re putting them in when it matters the most.

To be fair to him… it’s literally in the name of this thread as well.

In an effort to not derail a good Training Camp thread, I’ll just say I disagree with you and move on.

So in other words, those facts don’t fit your preconceived opinion… therefore we must move the goal posts and discount them and rely on your eye test.

Agreed. I didn’t see that % up thread. Seems like you gotta be doing something wrong to not hit more frequently on your 2nd or 3rd pick?

Honestly, $10mil for a billion dollar franchise is a rounding error. And secondly, assuming no major injuries, how many 2nd round picks are cut before their contract expires? The odds of them not paying the full contract amount seem pretty small. So why not just guarantee it and move on?
