Logic

I agree with your stance that Beasley's production noticeably declined. That said, if I'm not mistaken, the Bills offered to keep him at a reduced salary. In other words, while they weren't willing to continue to pay him top dollar, they WERE willing to continue to roster him. In any case, what's being discussed in this thread is Cole's assertation that "the organization changed". That's the specific notion to which I was responding. Between Beasley's passing of blame (no mention of his own declining production or distracting antics) and Feliciano's smack-talking about the Bills organization (and this isn't the first time he's spoken ill of the team since his departure), I see addition by subtraction for the Bills. Two less "me first, pass the blame" guys on the roster. Good.

I, for one, can't wait to get some good pictures of the stadium I'll no longer be able to afford to sit in!

As others have said -- if the offensive line is anything less than full strength, I wouldn't play Josh for a single snap. There's always the second preseason game, if they think the "getting reps with Dorsey calling plays" thing is truly important.

On the one hand, Beasley played through all sorts of injuries. This indicates a degree of selflessness. On the other hand, leading up to and during seasons where the Bills had realistic Super Bowl aspirations, he became a huge distraction on social media and elsewhere and made everything all about HIM rather than about the team. Selfishness. It kind of seems to me that if anyone in this situation changed, it was Cole.

All the people saying there aren’t good camp reports this year: y’all just don’t know where to look. Joe Buscaglia and Matt Parrino and Cover 1 are all pumping out daily camp reports and details.

Yep. Also: It is not a coincidence that the run game improved once Gilliam started playing more snaps.

Im not sure how many times this needs to be said: When a deal is first announced, the numbers are coming from the player’s agent, who makes it sound as good as possible with language like “up to” x amount of $$$. You must always, ALWAYS wait for the real details of the contract to come out, which almost ALWAYS look very different than the initial announcement.

Those who have an issue with Reggie Gilliam must have missed the part of last season where his being inserted into the lineup at the expense of an extra WR diversified the Bills’ offense, allowed it to keep opposing defenses more off balance, and helped to resuscitate it from its moribund state. He plays FB, TE3, short yardage back, and all four special teams. He’s a glue guy. He’s the type of player every roster needs. He does lots of dirty work. He’s not a star, but fullbacks rarely are. He’ll continue to be a big part of the Bills’ team success, and when the full details of his deal come out, they will likely reveal that he’s making peanuts. Good job by the Bills rewarding a key piece of the roster.

Thank you for doubling down on your own awfulness in order to prove my point about you being the worst. I can’t imagine having the massive ego and total lack of appropriate boundaries it would take to try to psycho-analyze a stranger on an internet message board. You’ve never met me and know nothing about me, yet you sit here talking about male authority figures and touting your superior masculinity. I used to find you irritating. You used to arouse anger in me. Now I just pity you. Here’s some psycho analysis for YOU: Your weird cyber stalking and bullying (engaging people with cruelty and insults when they aren’t even talking to you, tagging people obsessively to try to draw them into arguments), massive ego, inflated sense of self worth, meanness and arrogance suggest that you are a deeply insecure and unhappy person, who attempts to make others just as unhappy by constantly tearing them down. This is an internet football message board. It’s so EASY to have fun, friendly discourse here. Almost everyone here has a nice, pleasant time conversing with each other. And yet, almost no one enjoys conversing with you. Why? Because you make a sport of acting rude, superior, and insulting people at every turn. You are genuinely unpleasant. Your quality football knowledge and opinions are rendered obsolete by your deeply unlikable and argumentative disposition. I genuinely hope you find whatever peace or contentment is lacking in your life that makes you feel it necessary to attack strangers on the internet for no reason all the time. Let me know if you ever want to have a mature, reasonable, normal discussion about football, like a normal person. I won’t hold my breath.

Excellent post all the way through. Thanks!

The fact that you: 1) turned a simple, silly post into an opportunity to insult me and 2) think the 13 seconds jersey is "hilarious" says soooo much more about you than it does about me. You, sir, are certifiably

Quiet, Bease. You HAD your shot!! Er, well, actually…

You're not setting your sights high enough. I'm thinking GOAT.

And while we're at it, who do I talk to about the concerning lack of depth at outside WR?!

That's fair, but I'm not basing it off of one drive. Singletary was tearing it up through the final quarter of the season and the playoffs last season. I see no reason that won't continue, especially in a contract year and behind what should be an improved o-line. I've also been beating the "Moss is gonna have a bounceback season" drum for months. Check my post history.

Singletary is about to have a good season. He won't go away easily just because the team drafted Cook. Moss is about to contribute this season, too. The rumors of his demise were vastly premature. Glad Miller has the day off. No need for Von Miller to suit up until December, if you ask me. 😆

It's like the people who still wear Norwood jerseys. Some people are masochists.

Well....have you learned NOTHING from Alex Smith?!?!?!

Sir, this is a family friendly message board.

If they do actually end up using the red helmets this season, I hope that they: 1.) Add a white stripe in between the two center blue stripes going down the middle of the helmet, as God intended. 2.) Wear it with a blue jersey, not a red jersey, which looks weird. ------------------------------------------ Jaquon Johnson with the 1s at safety.
