I visit there once. It wasn't for me so I agree with a lot of what you said. Some people love it, to each their own I guess, I just don't get it.

Allen is already competing over 70% of his passes...and the Bills so far are a top rushing team. Who do you want to take touches away from to give to Kincaid?

I'm trying to stay away from this story, but I can't. I really don't care much about who is dating who. The extra attention the NFL gets from 'casual' fans who care about stuff like this is something that drives me away (a little tiny bit). But this morning I woke up, had the ESPN or Sporting news radio on (whatever they play in the 'off hours' of local programming and I heard a few minutes about Taylor Swift at the chiefs game. After 6am, I usually head to CNBC to listen to business news. Maybe 10 minutes in they brought it up. A few hours later on WGR, it gets brought up. Come home and go to the major news sites (general news, politics/business) and it is there as the 2nd or 3rd article from the top. Last night on every highlight show (halftime highlights, FNA, etc) it was there. I just wish there was a way to put on a BUSINESS news radio station or a SPORTS station, or go to read about WORLD NEWS/Business/politics...and NOT have to have Taylor Swifts name right there all the time with links to articles. If someone else likes it, great, I just can't seem to get away from it. I clicked on this tread just to make a comment and get it out of my system.

I'd be fine with not having names on the wall inside the stadium at all, BUT as others have said replace them with a Bills hall of fame in the stadium. I think there is such a thing as 'too many names on the wall', yet in a Bills Hall of Fame, for some reason I'd be better with more members there.

Get a grip. LOL, way to step up and reply to someone when they don't agree with you. I stated my opinion...the people who need to 'get a grip' are the Diggs brothers who felt the need to reply the way they did to this almost non-story, and You, who has to tell others to 'get a grip' because it must give your ego a much needed victory lap to be able to talk to others that way. Learn how to respond to people in a non confrontational way. https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news/dallas-cowboys-trevon-diggs-brother-trade-stefon-buffalo-bills-hurtful-safe

So we are now deep into a discussion again of what is "the process" Until we establish that, I'm not sure how to comment. I think the issue is "the process" is different to different people. To me, I think I am different than many fans on here. I WANT the process to be draft and develop from within. Don't give out big contracts to outside players. When you have one of your home grown guys come up, even if he is in the prime of his career, don't just assume you have to give him the top deal. As was said above, the Pittsburgh theory of "next man up" is what I like. I'm not GM (to the joy of most people) but if I was, I would not have traded for Diggs (would have kept on drafting WR's). I would not have signed V. Miller. I WOULD sign free agents, but not the top priced guys. If that is what the process is, I trust that, but the Bills have moved away from that.

To me this shouldn't be huge story. I like Diggs as a player, what I don't like is: 1.) he could have ignored it and not made any comment. Instead he felt the need to let everyone know how hurt he is. 2.) his brother felt the need to say that he has to get somewhere safe?? I follow twitter and social media and these boards because I want to follow news about the team, how they play, game related and practice related stuff. This junk by the players is what I wish I could not even have presented as something I see. (Yep, I clicked on the thread and responded, just because it is there)

What is "the process" we are supposed to trust. The "process" I like is being patient, developing from within, not giving out terrible contracts. The Bills are kinda hit-and-miss with that. For example, I like Von Miller, but I wasn't all for giving him that contract. I understand why he did it, but to me that money could have been better spent on upgrading the OL. So to me, "the process" is different from what others want it to be. I think from the Bills point of view, "the process" is just asking fans to be patient with WHATEVER they choose to do.

That is the way things go, when the star high priced QB plays poorly, he gets blamed. Stop blaming him or you will drive him out of town? LOL, there are some pretty crazy things on this board, but telling fans not to blame him so he won't leave...talk about coddling an athlete.

Or a slightly different take on the topic. If the Bills win, what will be the 3 most likely reasons why...and If the Jets win, what will be the 3 most likely reasons why: Bills win: 1. If it is possible Josh Allen has been under-rated this offseason. He is and plays like one of the top 3 players in the league. 2. Jets Defense isn't as good as advertised. The talk about a defense that brings back memories of the 85 bears is just overdone 3. Aaron Rodgers is shot. Maybe not bottom-5-QB-in-the-league-shot, but it is apparent his age has caught up to him and he is no longer a top 10 QB. He rushes many decisions and throws away plays to not get hit. Jets win: 1. Aaron Rodgers turns back the clock a few years and has a great game. 2. Bills defense is a lot worse than we thought. Their secondary is a step or two late to the receiver on most plays and they simply are not good enough to stop the running game. 3. Jets D is relentless in pressuring Allen and he simply has no time to make any plays

It it was possible, I would trade giving the WR room 10-20% less money if that could be used to improve the OL. I think Allen could be even better throwing to a slightly worse WR group if he had slightly more time to do so and a slightly better Running game.

I think they are just as good as the last 2 seasons. I really think their secondary play may disappoint. Poyer and Hyde are still Good, but I think we are going to notice they are losing a step or two and are going to miss some plays they made the previous years. The OL I still think is well below average. Maybe slightly upgraded from last year? Either way not good. But like the NFL as a whole it all comes down the the QB. If Allen is healthy, he is near or at the top of the list of Best QB's and the Bills will therefore be good. I posted something a while ago but now might be a good time to post it again, regarding Allen's elbow injury: Allen got hurt in that November game against the Jets. As a reminder the Bills played 11 games from then until the end of the year, including 2 playoff games. In those 11 games: Team was 8W-3L with 26.9 points per game. Allen completed 60.9% for 2701 yards, 19td, 11ints. For comparison, I looked at the previous 11 games (including 2 playoff games) before the injury (matching the 11 game number to get the best comparison): Team was 9W-2L with 31.1 points per game. Allen completed 69.4% for 3074 yards, 30td, 6 ints. Oh, and before the injury 3 games against the consensus best team Chiefs, all on the road at Arrowhead, 2 wins and the only loss being the 13 second game. To me, that is a big difference and many of the problems this team has can be 'solved' with a fully healthy Josh Allen. IF Allen is and stays healthy, they are in the top 4 teams in the league and just as good as any version of this team over the past few years.

If Josh Allen is fully healthy they are a top 5 team in the league and division winner. Only thing I see them not being a serious Superbowl contender is an injured Allen OR the middle of the Defense being even worse than I think. Poyer and Hyde I think are not going to be the strength everyone thinks they are anymore. As long as they still are 'good', things will be ok.

I would like to see him have a big bounce-back year and I think he will compared to last year. Resign him.

Don't be a jerk your whole life. For some of us our writing style is to parse what we are going to say. I guess your are one of those people who's ego needs the fake victory lap of making smart-*ss comments toward other people so you can feel just a bit smarter in your own mind....."buddy"

This was brought up a year or two ago...My opinion on her hasn't changed. I don't mind her ideas and thoughts. She may go on a bit long but that doesn't bother me. It seems she does her research pretty well and is prepared for the job. She has a good relationship with her contacts on the team. As a prepared broadcaster she is fine, shall I say in some areas she is good. BUT, I have a problem with her voice, it is hard for me to listen to. I know, its not her fault, but it is something that when I listen to her it is hard for me to focus on what she is talking about for long periods of time.

its a bit far away from the southtowns/stadium, but Lewiston NY. -Lots of restaurants, lots to see walking up and down the street. -Waterfront at lewiston Landing. -A short drive to Niagara Falls (10 minutes?) -If its a really clear day/evening, go right up to Fort Niagara State park and see the Toronto skyline lit up from across the lake. Its along the lines of Williamsville (but with less traffic) or East Aurora. Big thing is its a little more of a drive north.

I actually agree with what he said that for many a college degree is a waste. Well, not totally but it certainly isn't idiocy. It depends on the situation. Myself and a very close relative have college degrees and both of our jobs have zero to do with what we studied, and honestly it isn't even having 'a degree' that was an experiene that helped us. He ended up having his company send him to school 'along the way' to take a class here and a class there, at their expense. Another 2nd cousin I have got a full engineering degree and then decided he wanted nothing to do with it and got a civil service job that didn't reuquire a degree. He put himself though 4 years of school because it was 'expected' of him. Even my wife had a 4 year degee, lost her job and was unemployed for a while....started a new career in a different field and worked her way back up through the industry and is now doing better than she was with her oringinal job with her degree. Again, it isn't a universal truth for eveyone either way. But I know plenty of people who were/are successful without a degree (or at least the degree they ended up getting) and I know more than a few young people now approaching 30 years of age that are still strugging with huge debt loads becuase of school that wished they would have gotten a job and worked up through it instead of college.

I think a case can be made for Allen anywhere from 1-5. Last year he didn't perform that way but that was largely because of his injury. In the year and a half before he got hurt last year, he was as dominant game-to-game as any player in the league, including Mahomes. The injury happened, so take that into account if you want to. If he is 100% back to his un-injured self this year, I expect him to be a candidate for League MVP again (pretty much meaning he's a top 5 player).

It was different a decade or so ago and longer....but my recollection is when you have games where one of the top 5 defensive units in the league meets one of the top 5 offensive units in the league...it seems the 'good' offense scores closer to their 'regular' number of points than the 'good' defense holds them to their 'regular' allowed points. The top defense units thet their stats/points allowed for the most part by being superior vs the bad teams. But put those D-units up against the top offenses in the league and often times they look almost as bad as any other defense.

There are a wide variety of interests and tastes on shows.... Moonknight was OK, to me maybe a bit below average. She-Hulk was certainly not award winning writing, but I enjoyed it...it was 'entertaining'. Falcon and Winter soldier isn't a favorite of many people, and got middling reviews, but I thought it was one of the best Disney,Marvel series I have ever seen. WandaVision? I watched one episode, half of the 2nd and it felt so 'cheezy' to me I almost felt embarrassed to watch it. Awful in my opinion. Loki was good. Not great, but good. We've given up on the movies...I'm not sure if it was one of the Thor movies or a series of 2 or 3 that were actually bad in our opinions, we are pretty much done with any marvel movie up to this point.

Fun to read this thread. I can view things from 2 different points of view. The argument/point that the Baby boomers have led us down this path in a lot of ways I can relate to....and the boomers can't/wont relate to some of the challenges young people go through I can see. ON the OTHER HAND.... I'm pretty sure my daughter or no one she knows reads this forum so I can post this. My wife and I like many others grew up in our 20's working 2 and sometimes 3 jobs. When in college you work a full time job. Over the summer or right after college you work 2 or 3 jobs, 70-90 hours a week (at times) if you want to save up money to buy a home. I know not everyone did that but many did. A few years ago our daughter was in her very early 20's. My wife and I were watching a show on tv about 9 or 10pm and it was a comedy and we were laughing at it. Our daugher STORMED downstairs, angry look on her face, looked at us and said "Can you two BE QUIET? I need to get sleep because my job is MAKING ME WORK over 40 hours this week!" I think she worked something like 45 hours that week.

If someone is driving like a total idiot, won't let them in. In every other case it depends.... Big truck or SUV? Nope, not letting them in. Car? probably letting them in. Its not that I'm someone who hates Trucks and Suv's.....just if I'm going to let someone cut in front of me, its not going to be someone driving a 6 foot tall wall that blocks my visibility of what is going on 2-3 or more cars in front of me. A car I can see above, around, or through much better than a huge truck/suv.

Neither movie is one I want to see badly. If I had to pick one I'd go with Oppenheimer, but its likely we won't see it in the theater...I usually draw the line at 2 1/4 hours for a movie lenght to watch in the theater. 3 hours for a movie, add 20 more for previews...just too long for me to sit in a seat in a theater. Wife wants to see Barbie so I'll probably give in and go see that with her. Oppenheimer will be a must-watch, just at home in a few months.

I feel the exact opposite way. As a kid when they went to the red helmets, I thought they were awful, never liked them, and when they went back to the whites I thought it was the best uniform thing they could do and wondered why it took so long.
