LABILLBACKER

Did Gugny miss all this? He must have been out of town.

1. OJ....he's the reason this LA kid started following the Bills. Was it a gift or a curse? 2. Rob Johnson...good ole RoboSack. I know Flutie has his haters but this SC loser was utterly useless. Bandana Bob.... 3. Chris " lunchpail" Kelsay....like Gunner said, it was like the organization didn't care anymore running this AJE clone out there every year. Yay...5 sacks a year! 4. Last but not least Tremaine Edmunds. The greatest coverage lb in the history of the Bills who could stay within 10 yards of Travis Kelce. You could count on 1 hand how many big plays he made in his Bills career. At least he's still raw at 22. ....honorable mentioned goes to all the loser coaches of the drought.

He's not going to be any better this season. Once you get the yips and lose your mental edge in your specialty, it rarely returns. The mistake we made was prematurely extending his contract. Can we just once let a player's first contract play out first. He's going to break our hearts again. Count on it....

This is exactly my thoughts. He gets a A-/B+ from me based on consistency. His greatest achievement will always be trading up to take a risky qb from Wyoming. His one big failure would be not yet finding an elite pass rusher to compliment Josh. If Josh had a Chris Jones maybe we have a couple Lombardis?? All in all we're extremely fortunate to have Brandon Beane. McDermott is a whole different argument.

He's a nice runner between the 20's but his lack of focus on the drops/fumbles will keep him from ever being legendary like Thurman.

All I care about is no ACL....no limping, obviously the injury was minor.

It's 1:09am in LA and I'm up with insomnia reading this cheery news. It better be minor.

We're arguing about our freedom to argue.

808, that's one of the better ways of assessing our situation these last 4 years. Beane took a HR swing on Von Miller and it failed miserably. It wasn't Brandon's fault that Von got injured but the signing based on age & longevity was a big risk. McDermott's legacy will always be twofold. 1) Did he waste Josh's career?....2) Why couldn't his defenses make a couple critical playoff stops against Mahomes/Burrow. And as the McD supporters continue to rationalize, "give him a chance, it took Andy several years"....but just remember, there's a reason Andy fired Sean.

Yup, I personally will enjoy this ride for as long as he's under center. He'll easily go down as the greatest qb in Bills history regardless of if he wins a SB or not. He'll also be considered one of the top 5 all time athletic qbs in NFL history. It's insane to believe that in a couple years he could be the leading Bills rushing td leader in history. And if the gods keep a Lombardi away from him it will be because of coaching incompetence and defensive playoff meltdowns. He definitely is an alien...cyborg...warrior...whatever title you choose would be accurate.

I agree...all the mvp voters care about is how few interceptions you have.

He just reminds me of a faster more explosive version of Cole Beasley. Khalil will definitely be our #2 WR this season. He can actually break a tackle unlike Beas. You can't go wrong with Moulds as your trainer. Shakir will have a very good season.

Bring in Bates & Butler...rattle Bass's cage a little. Since 80% of the fans want to run Claypool out with torches & pitchforks, you can never have too many wrs.

Exactly....when will Bills Ala carte be available?

Why don't we just start a dedicated Nick Wright thread. Good or bad he's always going to be the national Bills antagonist. He got the top 3 right and yes Lamar is incredibly overrated and overhyped if for no other reason than his yearly playoff failures.

Well we'll find out soon enough. I'm going to root for his success for selfish reasons that the Bills profit from this cheap signing. And if he returns to his bad habits/attitude you cut his ass.

Yeah, I'm rooting hard for him not just making the 53 but actually contributing. Give me just a semblance of his first 2 seasons and I'd consider him the double dip to Coleman.

A 5th round wr is hardly a lock to play his final years. So far we know nothing about Shorter's project-ability. We at least have a decent first 2 year resume on Claypool.

I too think there's an outside shot at McD keeping 7. I love this top 6 list but have no clue who that 7th wr would be? Probably does come down to Hamler/Shorter. But neither are seeing any substantial targets.

Andy has easily memorized every flaw in Sean's gameplan. There's a reason he fired McDermott. So all I can say is we either hope another team knocks out KC/ Cinncy or McD's mediocre playoff defense will get exposed again & again.

If we weren't going to fire him after 13s, then he's never getting fired. Pegula's too stubborn and probably feels Sean is a lifer. Just so sad and frustrating that Sean's side of the ball can't get it down come playoff time. Which just amplifies the pressure on 17. Rinse & Repeat....

Yep...since the day Josh was drafted, the Bills have failed miserably in finding an elite pass rusher. Just a whole bunch of tier 2 and tier 3 Jags and a HOFer who probably had a career ending injury.

I don't deny WR's will get paid 35-40/ yr but we will definitely see teams pull back and go more by committee. I still value a marquee qb and pass rusher over a top WR1.

Make it a big Burning Man festival around the pit.
