Prediction time: Who are your Surprise Cuts?
They happen every year, although I feel like this roster is more set than it usually is by this time in preseason.
Allen. ?

Pending retirement red flag.

Once you are in your 50's, you have entered the 'mine field of life', and anything can happen.
I never lose sight of the fact that every day is a gift.

I often have wondered what SB25 may have been if Parcells and Belichick didn't get such a real time look at the Bills just weeks before they played for the championship.
There were multiple GIANTS injuries that stopped the clock, and allowed substitutions, and disrupted the cadence of the no huddle. All the giants players made a miraculous recovery, and continued playing the game. It was legal, but not 'in the spirit of the game', as Bill Polian said afterwords.
This of course, led to the competition committee instituting the two minute rule of the loss of a timeout due to injury. The game essentially, was Belichick's first 'perfect cheat'.
That being said, the Bills simply should've ran the ball down the Giants throats for the entire game, which they were doing a pretty good job of. 135 yards on 15 carries for Thurman. 190 yards from scrimmage.(5/55 rec.) (9.5 yards/touch)
The Bills were not outclassed, but certainly out-coached.

In my desperate effort to survive the offseason, I came across some highlights I hadn't seen in a while.
Good game with some foreshadowing of what might happen later that year. One thing that surprised me was hearing the Giants fans cheer when Kelly went down injured at 8:18. It sounds like the entire stadium was cheering. Even 30 years later Giant Fan you lose points with me. It makes my skin crawl. Anyways, this was still a good game to watch agaim from a golden age of Bill's football
NY fans. Not a classy bunch.

He was far better than Lofton ever was if you're talking Bills careers. It's not even close. I know it's easy, everyone loves guys from those years, but Lofton wasn't that great as a Bill. His prime was in GB.
Lofton gave us a couple of great years. Paired with Reed, made for a great combo. Seems to me, that it took Moulds a few years to get his legs under him.
Reed made his bread, and butter over the middle.
Moulds?

I'm going to concur with the "We should be so lucky"
It was clear in the playoffs that Brady had lost some of his mojo, especially in the Rams game. He looked very mortal. That said, I've been predicting his backslide for close on 8 years now, and it keeps not happening. Even if Brady's play is half of what it was in 2017, he still might make a case for best QB in the division just because everyone else is so raw. (2018 draft picks all). Until I see otherwise, I consider the Pats the team to beat in the division.
But man oh man, would it be sweet to watch Brady get pummeled into retirement this year. Hey, I can dream, can't I?
If Brady was playing in Jim Kelly's era, that would've happened some years ago.

And they could bring in Jauron as Asst. Checkdown Coach.
Jauron with the Bill's again? Now, that's not funny......................

Anyone who does not have an appreciation of history, or architecture can simply move on to be entertained by the next Budweiser commercial.

Found this in an ESPN article about the best NFL-themed beers and I have admittedly never heard of it. Clever though...
Make Me Wanna Stout | Big Ditch Brewing Co. | Buffalo, New York
Make Me Wanna Stout was so popular during football season that it's now available year-round in Western New York. Courtesy of Buffalo News
Tribute to: Bills' fight song, "Shout"
Beer style: Coffee and cream stout
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 5.2%
When it was brewed: It was first made in 2016, but Big Ditch started canning it only last year. It became so popular around Western New York that it eventually became available year-round.
Why a coffee and cream stout? Here's what president and co-founder Matt Kahn had to say: "We were looking for something that was good for pregaming. Pregaming is a well-partaken-in tradition for Buffalo Bills fans, you could say, both at home and at the stadium. We were sort of thinking, 'Hey, wake up, have your coffee with your beer, too.' The ABV is light enough that you can get a few in you, get some caffeine in you, too. It's a good wake-up-and-go beer. It's almost like a can of alcoholic iced coffee."
Key ingredients: Coffee (the beans come from a local roaster called Public Espresso), milk, sugar, roasted barley, oatmeal, U.S. Northern Brewer hops
On the lower end of the scale, Budweiser could be re-branded under the name 'Buffalo p!ss'.

Stupid list Aikman doesn't belong in the top 25 for sure. I would take Jim Kelly over Ben Roethlisberger any day of the week John Elway no way he's that high. Brady is a douchebag would not be on my top 25 list. Cool Joe Montana will always be greatest of all-time in my book
If Joe Montana played under the rules of today's passing game, Brady would simply be a footnote.

I read this article today and it gave me the feeling that McCoy could be cashed out if Gore/Yeldon/Singletary can work out.
What does the cap say?

In running, no. Josh is in another league. In passing, overall, yeah. Manuel actually had better stats, though basically both looked like rookies. Higher completion percentage, better TD/INT ratio. Josh has a better YPA, but not good, just less bad (5.8 to 6.5). Manuel had a much better INT %, a better passer rating.
On the other hand, Josh did look significantly better at the end of the year. Can't be bothered to break them both down and look at how each was at the end of the year, but from what I remember, Allen at the end of the year was looking better than Manuel. Hard to say, though, maybe it's just confirmation bias on my part. I was hopeful about Manuel, but I think Allen has a significantly better chance to be good.
Allen is a leader. EJ, well....

They've cheered many many injured opponents over time, especially if it seems like a serious injury.
Well. Maybe 'they' have anyway.?

For the longest time there has been a debate with my friends about who the greatest Defensive End was during the time we started watching football in the late 80’s and into the 90’s.
Back then we thought we had the best DE in the NFL in Bruce Smith. Others considered Reggie White, from Philly, at the time to be the best.
Now that we have the benefit of hindsight, the question is...who was really better?
Statistically there really isn’t much difference. Reggie played 15 seasons with 198 sacks. Bruce played 17 with 200 sacks. Of course, Bruce is the all-time leader. Both men should be considered toward as the best DE’s ever.
I hate to say it, but I’m going to give the edge to Reggie. I think he was a much better leader and impacted the game more than Bruce did.
For many years, I would argue in favor Bruce but one game made me change my mind. What sealed the deal for me was in a 1996 playoff game. Bruce had the flu and was questionable to play. This happens quite a bit in the NFL and players usually play through sickness. So I was really shocked when he missed the game. Pittsburgh scored 40 points so the team definitely could’ve used Bruce.
I immediately thought of the Thanksgiving game against Dallas where Reggie played with a severely injured arm. He should have missed several weeks but he played through it. Thinking of that made me say “It’s official, Reggie is better.”
As an adult, I can see the flawed logic there, but forgetting that incident, it doesn’t change my answer. Bruce was fantastic, but I think Reggie was the greatest of all-time.
If Bruce played in a 4-3 defense for his entire career, he would've had 300 sacks. There is no comparison, in my opinion. Reggie is a fitting # 2.

Hi all,
Going into a meeting on Monday and was hoping you all may have some suggestions on enhancing game presentation and entertainment. Welcome any ideas, but please make them realistic. I will start with a couple..one suggested by me, one by @Hapless Bills Fan
1) By Hapless..a Viva Los Bills chant similar to the SKOL chant at Vikings game..maybe lead by the person "LEADING THE cHARGE" that week.
2) Some sort of walk/run out of tunnel song similar to VaTech. Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe the Ramones Blitzkreig Bop..Ey Oh..Lets Go..with everyone jumping up and down similar to Tech..but they may just be me and a bias to the music of my formative years. Any ideas on songs or anything else?
3) I also B word about getting Redzone on during TV Timeouts on at least one of the video boards, always seems to fall on deaf ears. Their response is Redzone is on the app if connected to Bills wifi..pain in my tuchas to pull the phone out o pocket, click app etc...just give me same entertainment as I would get at home...same with the halftime show. I would prefer that over the drummers. Can barely hear them in the Upper Deck anyway..and maybe more people stay in their seat and keep the concourses less crowded.
I appreciate the help in advance folks..
Get rid of the fantasy football screen. People can access that on their phones. It would be nice to have the additional screen space for replays
