I like that they aren't the media favorites this year. I like it when they're under the radar.
I think on paper they look improved. The situation at guard got better, and hopefully Spencer Brown is healthy because I'm sure they want him to lock down that right tackle spot. Torrence looks like he could be a good one. Hopefully things fall into place a bit better than last season. Thought Kromer would have the OL performing better but I think he was a bit of a letdown last season.
I like that they shuffled things up at receiver and added Kincaid. We'll see how they play it but I'm interested to see what Shakir can do with a larger role. Also interested in seeing what Shorter can do. If I had to guess I'd say the WR group, at least at the start of the season will probably be Diggs, Davis, Shakir, Harty, Sherfield, Shorter...maybe they keep seven, I dunno.
Run game could be solid with Cook, Hines, Harris, and Murray, I'd guess?
It'll be interesting to see what McDermott does with the defense. Getting Hyde and Poyer back at full health will be good. Hopefully Tre can get back to his old form. Everyone wants Elam to lock down CB2. And we'll see who they roll with at MLB. I expect them to be a little more unique with their looks and pressures. Hopefully more aggressive as well.
Like I said, it all looks good on paper. Just gotta put it all together.

Diggs hasn't posted on Twitter since June 6. Unless he deleted some thing.
Haven't been able to scroll back far enough to find what it is people think he said that's causing the doom and gloom? Song lyrics in an Instagram Reel?
That Twitter screenshot I posted, he wrote it in a story on his IG. Everyone's been trying to decipher what he means by it but, and this is a description I saw on a different comment, Diggs seems to treat social media like he's still in high school. Like, he'd post something like "real eyes realize real lies" and not be ironic about it lol.

Diggs' comment with the whole "let them cap" thing aren't even his own words. It's directly quoted from this tweet:
No idea who that is or what it all means but whatever.
Seems weird to think the dude would let personal issues bleed into his professional career... especially if it's some crap over ex's and such. This is the dude who had two different dates in the same hotel on Valentine's Day. If he got burned then that's on him because that's the game he plays. When he was on the Vikings he was like a unanimous answer when teammates were asked "who on the team wouldn't you let date your sister" or some whacky BS.
The guy wants to be viewed as a leader and has the C on his chest. That means showing up and doing your job even if you're not 100% on the same page as your organization. Go handle those issues and be a professional in the meantime. It's part of what they pay you for.
Egos. They've all got 'em. Probably impossible to play the game at this level without having insane confidence in yourself. Whatever it is, seems like it should get worked out. I think. I dunno.
I'mma go watch curling or some crap.

That’d almost certainly put him in the top 10 players for yards per catch.
Go long!

They usually bring the rookies along slowly but I think Kincaid has a chance to see more playing time than most Bills rookies due to them wanting to have as many weapons out there as they can.
I'd guess something like 35 receptions for 550 yards and 4 or 5 TDs.

Solid signing. Probably means Von isn't ready until a month or two into the season. Miller, Rousseau, Floyd, Epenesa, Basham? Does that look aboot right? Unless Shane Ray miraculously steals a spot.

I remember in 2020 they had to deal with a lot of players shuffling in and out on defense and it forced them to mix things up. The numbers weren't where they were for like '21 and '22 but they were definitely more aggressive. They mixed up the looks a lot more, more blitzing, more stunts, etc. They gave up some plays but they also seemed to cause more pressure, sacks, and turnovers. I hope it's more of that, like, let them get after it as opposed to keep everything in front of you and don't give up the big play.

The comments, good lord lmao.
If this guy doesn't rack up 60 sacks, 30 forced fumbles, 90 tackles for loss and generally becomes Aaron Donald and Reggie White morphed into one then this board gonna implode.

Hadn't he been dating Brittany since hike school? First time the dude has been free to date around in a long time. Let him do his thing. He's focused on foosball!
I have a family member with a small business that was patronized by Brittany sometime last year. She said she was a bit much. Came off real high maintenance and had some unreasonable expectations.
-
He was just never as involved as people expected. Last season he averaged about four targets a game with two or three catches for around 26-27 yards.
He took over in that game against the Pats in 2021 but never really came close to that type of performance again.
He seems like a nice dude but in the NFL he's probably seen as just another guy.

Saffold had a great career and was one of the top Guards in the NFL, but injuries took their toll. Am I allowed to bring that up here or is only hate allowed?
This was my thought too. The dude was really good in his first few years. The type of player you'd want in free agency...the Bills just signed him about four or five years too late.
Sometimes I felt like it was fair to question his heart and how much he bought into the culture. Too many times we'd see him get beat and then just stand there like, "My bad, homie!"
At the end of the day he's probably like a lot of other players at his age. His mind and spirit are telling him he can still go while his body been trying to tell him since like 2017, "Yo, we done! Go sit down before you get another quarterback squished by a 330 lb. DT."

I remember seeing Preston Williams have a few moments in past seasons and he looked like a guy to keep an eye on. We'll see what happens.

Mountains outta molehills...it's like these knuckleheads have incentives in their contracts. The more crap you make up the better the holiday bonus or something.
Buncha turds.

Hey pal. You saw some of the other tough guys on the forum. "Nuff talkin! Go win sumthin'!" Tough guy!!! Very tough. In fact, so tough we need to spell it "tuff."

Dawkins - Bates - Morse - Torrence - Brown, I guess, I dunno. I'm not an offensive lineologist.

Wasn't it just a few years ago a group figured out like, a really good algorithm for the schedule? It was really balanced and fair and the NFL was like, "Lol eat s#!t."
Sports and their fear of technological evolution....

I know the players loved him and in the regular season he was solid. And keep in mind, the defensive plan allows for yardage and then they tighten up in their own end to force field goals. But there were some situations that just seemed inexplicable. I don't like to relive those moments. It just felt like when the pressure was on and they really needed it, he just didn't get it done.
The Bills knew they had to move on and they did it in the most polite way they could.

They seem to really like our 3rd round pick much more than some fans. I hope they’re correct.
Hey, all I know is last time the Bills selected a player from Tulane it was all world megastar quarterback JayPee Loseman!

Yes, I heard they gave him a promise ring.

Teammates are constantly calling the guy one of the hardest workers on the team. I don't know if anyone remembers the story but during the playoffs, Von brought in a replica Lombardi and set it up in the locker room with a sign that said, "You said you'd do anything for it." Gabe, who had just finished practice, saw the sign, turned around and went back into the fieldhouse and spent another hour on the JUGS machine.
His ankle really limited him last year. He couldn't run more than a few specific routes and there were a couple bummer drops. But I think he's a solid player and if he's healthy all season we should see a lot more from him. He definitely gets way too much crap on this forum.

What's it look like? It appears to be a collection of absurdly large human beings. They'll pick the ones who are best at not letting other absurdly large humans get past them.
I really don't know how it's going to shake out. Lotta people seem to think McGovern is slotted in as a starter from day one but I'd assume he'll have to beat out Ryan Bates, who I think does better on the left but that's also McGovern's natural spot. Torrence is a high end draft pick who's gonna get plenty of chances to win the RG spot. Is Bates odd man out and plays a backup role this year and maybe takes over for Morse next season? Dawkins and Brown are the tackles. The competitions to watch will be for both guard spots.
Per WGR, Bills cancel day 3 of minicamp

Holy crap, some of these comments. Yeesh.
Yeah, teams do this all the time.
