The Bills have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was just 4 years old when my dad took my brother and me to see the home opener in 1960. I can still remember men bringing cases of Genny into the Rockpile to drink during the game. I was at the first game at Rich, with Mul-Key returning the kickoff for a TD on the first ever play. The memories of tailgates with friends, the great games I’ve see there, are etched in my mind and will be till I die. I will be returning next week for the Bucs game, probably the last I’ll see at Rich Stadium (I’ll always think of it as such). My son-in-law and younger daughter have never been to a game in Buffalo, and I insisted they had to see one game before the move. One game to be at Rich, to experience the atmosphere, see the tailgates, be part of what has been such a huge part of my life for 66 years. My wife, two daughters, a son in law, two of my nieces, all in our Bills gear, all tailgating and sharing food and drink with other fans. Can’t wait.

Correct me if I’m wrong but my understanding is other teams are playing two safeties deep. That will minimize the deep throws so many are calling for. What I’d like to see are more crossing routes in the intermediate zone to get WRs open more, particularly Coleman. But that’s nit picky; it’s hard to argue with the success of the offense thus far this year.

I was thinking it would be Groot moving around with Bosa and AJ at the ends. At some point Jackson has to get involved as well. Williams is an interesting option but I think his size would be a bit of an issue.

31-13 Bills. Should be similar to the Panthers game. We were all worried but wound up dominating

I can go back to every draft since 1960 and do what if stories. Moving on.

If Beane had a shot at someone like Olave or Waddle or Brown (I had my eye on Jeudy personally) and didn’t pull the trigger I’d be ticked off. I’m not sure Shaheen would have added much to the current roster. Brady does not call go routes, and if he wanted to Moore of Samuel could do so. I do think Brady needs to be more inventive with route trees, particularly with Coleman. But then again, we are the #1 offense in yards per game in the NFL, so what do I know?

The idea is to not be in 3rd and long situations. But the answer to your question is going to depend on the team we’re playing and where the best matchup is to gain 7 yards.

Diana Russini reported the Jets did not want to trade within the division.

We are leading the league in yards/game. A big part of that is the run game and Coleman’s blocking helps a great deal. What Brady needs to do is give him better routes, but we are doing this without having a so-called burner to stretch the field. If all you want is a guy that can run fast straight down the field then just bring back Hamler.

Jets if they use all the picks wisely. Which history suggests may not happen.

In the AFC I think the Broncos and Patriots are real. Good head coaches and solid overall play, good young QBs and defenses. Colts don’t bother me as much, Jones will regress but if they center their offense around the run game they’ll be a tough out. Chargers? I don’t believe Herbert is that good. And I think the Chiefs miss the playoffs. Don’t think about the NFC much.

Shakir. And Kincaid. And it’s OK to have a top end receiving TE.

You just cavalierly make statements as if they are true. Diana Rossini reported the Jets did not want to trade in the division. As for Shaheed we have guys that have speed in Moore and Samuel. Brady has not set his offense up for fly patterns - maybe he should but does Shaheed truly offer anything over what we have? I have gone through 66 years of Bills football. We’ve had far darker days than now, and many GMs far worse that Beane.

And I have since 1960. And fans are not taken for granted. Quit thinking your opinion is the only thing that matters. Does anyone honestly believe Beane just sat around doing squat the last couple days? You have to have a partner to trade with. And you have to believe the deal you make actually improves things. A guy like a Waddle would at WR, but does a Myers or Shaheed? One can argue no. I wanted Jeudy but apparently he wasn’t on the market. Would have loved another DT like Williams but the Jets apparent were not trading inside the division. So many think Beane can just snap his fingers and get whatever he wants. That is not how this works.

You know what? You’re really just full of crap. This blanket statement about the fan base supports ineptitude is absolute BS. Just quit rooting for them and get out then.
