LABILLBACKER

Allen blue Kelly white Flutie blue

We desperately need Elam to click with Tre most likely starting slow. Cook is the guy I'm most excited to see. And Haack better not make this team over Araiza. Bernard will get his opportunities.

Bring Duke in so we can increase our camp fight ratio.

Both Vikings plays sealed it for me. Transformative player....

The NFL will appeal and increase the punishment. And I think it's safe to say they won't be using independent judges anymore. Just give this creep a male massage therapist. Some big guy named Lars who will kick his ass if he does anything stupid. Another slap on the wrist to a celebrity.

Couldn't agree more. I know Tremaine has his loyal die hard following, but there's just as many fans like myself who have never been convinced. The fact he hasn't got extended yet speaks volumes. I think this contract season for him will be good but nothing spectacular. He'll do what he always does "taking up defensive space" without any substantial splash plays. I could easily see McB let 49 test the market and someone will overpay. Take whatever $ you would've spent on Edmunds and lock up Ed. McDermott will find a hybrid replacement without spending 14M.

Keyhole's hatred for anything Buffalo related is well documented. I find his general NFL assessments to be basically comical.

Pressures, hurries and knockdown can all still be completed for TD's. Nothing good offensively comes from a sack. I'm so sick and tired of "almost" getting to the qb.

Agree. Could care less if McD wins any awards. Just get past this KC nonsense and win it all. Stafford on pitch count after procedure and Ramsey on PUP probably the reason we're a slight favorite. Could see it at -1.5 by gameday.

Give me this year's defense with a healthy Tre and Von Miller teaching Elam & Groot the ropes. No more pressures and hurries. I want sacks.....

I agree. Yes we're excited and extremely optimistic, but we're hardly lining up for a parade or pretending to polish our imaginary Lombardi. This team will have to execute, especially the defense.

Watching every single college game he played, I never thought he'd end up a complete bust. Apparently Mora was right, football just wasn't a priority to him.

Just like Baltimore will....

I'm in the same boat. Because SoFi is such an incredibly over the top stadium, everything is 10x more than it should be. Watching the game in Laughlin with family and flying out to Buffalo later in the season.

Rewatch that Jets or Steeler game. He might be the worst punter I've ever seen in Buffalo. Haack would be #1 on my list, followed by Stevenson.

I think if McDermott can clean up his playoff defense and avoid any more brain farts, Josh is more than capable of matching Ben's 2 rings and gold jacket.

If we win the SB it avenges all of them. There isn't one that stands out over another. It avenges all the crap years of the 80's. All the lost SB's of the 90's. The music city/ Robo-Flutie debate craziness. Then the drought years. It's ALL a collective. One Championship wipes them all away.

Josh is a God....in fact if you cruised up to Mt. Olympus and asked the boys who's #1 they'd say Josh....

At my age of 63, I'm heading into the 4th quarter. After experiencing so many heartbreaking outcomes I'm simply go to sit back and soak all this in. Let the hype continue. We've got a transformative QB and maybe the best Owner/GM/HC Combo in our history. Maybe they'll come a day where JA gets the breaks that TB got. We're the media darling....We're the favorite....and we're going to finally get this done.

Pretty shrewd move by Baker. In 2 years or less Brady will be gone. Baker will be the best qb left in that division.

Can you believe that. Popcorn game.

Your absolutely right, it's almost impossible to statistically quantify his space eating contribution. And I also agree he will probably have a slight uptick in performance this fall because of his contract year. The organization will have a challenging decision after this season. My gut still says to move on but I can appreciate the argument of those to keep him. This may basically boil down to $?

Shaw you make some very good points regarding TE's contributions. The problem is his ability to "take up space" doesn't translate to keeping good offensive teams like KC/ from completing passes. Hill and Kelce both caught those balls over the middle during those last 2 plays. They didn't attack outside. I just can't justify Tremaine staying on this team with all his flaws. The negative outweighs the positive. Especially at 15M/ yr. I'd rather spend that money on Oliver, Knox and future pass rush support.

He's never going to be a monster player but considering this is his contract year I wouldn't be surprised to see an uptick in his play. As others have accurately stated if they were going to extend him it would have happened by now. We're not paying him what he'll ( and his agent) will demand. It's not like he did anything against Kelce while we were giving up 80 points in our last 2 playoff loses. Besides this is a passing league and we're a Nickel team like you said. Invest the money on our pass rush.

I don't think this regime will ever burn another 1st round pick on a LB unless someone transformative falls in their lap. I can see Tremaine having a decent contract year but I wouldn't hold my breath for too many wow splash plays. Maybe Sean thought he could turn him into Keuckly which was never going to happen. I would let him walk and put all that money toward Poyer, Oliver and Knox. Bernard & Dodson can hold down the fort.
