Tom Brady: 606 Total Touchdowns, 191 Interceptions Jim Kelly: 237 Touchdowns, 175 Interceptions Stop.

Is it just me or has Gabriel's Gate fallen off lately? The last two times I came back to Buffalo, the wings have been soggy and 7/10 at best. They used to be incredible... not sure if it's just bad luck or a trend.

No QB should be taken #1 in any fantasy football draft unless it’s a custom league where passing touchdowns count as the same as rushing touchdowns. However, in standard leagues, they don’t. Did you notice that no other QBs got taken in the top 20 other than maybe Mahomes? That should be an indication to you that you did something stupid. I appreciate that you’re just getting started, but you made a guaranteed mistake and I’m sure everyone in the league who knows anything either laughed or rolled their eyes when they saw the pick.

To those rolling their eyes, which is more likely: Scenario A: Kumerow, a player who was cut by the Bengals, Patriots, Packers, Bills, and Saints, at 29 years old is all of a sudden "making plays all over the field." Scenario B: He's getting hyped up in an effort to get some value for him.

Everyone put your conspiracy theory hats on... now that Darryl Johnson has been traded, my suspicions were confirmed. Did anyone else notice Darryl Johnson getting a ton of hype from the local media this off-season, lots of run during the pre-season, and non-stop barrage of positive press from his coaches? The guy is a very good player, but it seemed very odd for him to be getting THAT much hype. The other player that follows this same script is Jake Kumerow. Non-stop positive press from his coaches, seemingly engineered touches during the pre-season that play to his strengths, and lots of talk in the local media about his special teams ability. With Green Bay trying to keep Aaron Rodgers happy, perhaps Beane is smelling blood on the water? My theory: the Bills had too much talent at DE and WR, so coaches put Kumerow and Darryl Johnson in position to succeed this pre-season, then asked the local media and coaches to gush about their progress, potential, and Special Teams ability. Thoughts? We'll see if Kumerow gets traded as well...

Imagine being offended that our QB isn’t considered a top 10 player in the league and only a top 5 QB… after one good season. Patience.

Zero interest. Happy he got paid and happy he's not on the Bills. Classic Rex Ryan regime pick. Look at his social media and it tells you everything you need to know about the guy.

This is the part that kills me. It's a problem with McKenzie too. One muffed punt can be the difference between a win and a loss. Particularly in the playoffs. It's times like these, I wish we just paid Andre Roberts his $2.5M

I think there are 3 reasons for the change you've seen: 1) Bills fans finally have a brand name. "Bills Mafia" sounds great and is easy to reference nationally. 2) The GM has a catchy name that has become synonymous with development of young talent, with the biggest proof being our franchise QB. 3) The team's prior struggles were well documented and everyone loves a zero to hero story. That's a formula for a well liked and well respected team nationally. We're also in the bubble right now where people don't feel threatened enough by the Bills to hate them. If the Bills win 2 or more Super Bowls, people will begin to turn on them. That's how it works.

If you want to pay $2.25M to not have him on our roster this year, year we can replace him. The more reasonable path would be to actually let him play a game or two after giving him a 3 year contract. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/matt-haack-22270/

On this thread I've seen several people saying there will be anywhere between $3M and $6M in savings by cutting him. His contract is fully guaranteed. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/mario-addison-8871/ Cutting or trading him means we pay $8M for a player that isn't on our roster. Why would we do that.

We’re talking about third string QB here guys. Either Fromm or Davis will be cut. The other guy will be on the Practice Squad. No decent QB will be a free agent or Practice Squad, so they’re both irrelevant. Keep the one with higher upside, which appears to be Webb.

Of all the great moments today thus far, the greatest is watching Rousseau continue to dominate. The idea of having an impact DE in the first year of his ROOKIE contract is unbelievably exciting.

Very cool. Blatant rip-off of another QB and Team's original idea. Let's do that instead of coming up with something creative on our own.

Go back and read the last line of my original post. Teams are going to have to make some tough decisions around final cuts. We're potentially going to have to cut Darryl Johnson simply because our DE room is packed. He's a good player. I don't think it's a reach to say that some other team out there has a good young CB room and is willing to cut an expensive veteran. Nobody knows who that will be yet, so I can't tell you specific players. Nobody currently on the waivers.

If Tre White misses any games, our starting CBs look like this: CB1: Levi Wallace CB2: Dane Jackson Nickle: Taron Johnson / Siran Neal Depth: Cam Lewis, Rachad Wildgoose, Nick McCloud, Olalljah Griffin This is an easy answer for me, but I'm curious if everyone feels the same. If I'm the Bills, I'm picking up a solid vet CB who hits waivers on final roster cuts.

40% of the message board must not know how the salary cap and waiver system works.

We can easily eliminate a few guys from your list: Addison won't be cut. He is owed $8.1M this year. He counts as an $8.05 dead cap hit if we cut him. Solid vet. Jerry Hughes is our best pass rusher. Zero chance he gets cut. Groot is a 1st round rookie and has been great. Zero chance. Epenesa has looked solid and is a 2nd year player on rookie deal. Zero Chance. Obada is cheap, has looked great, and has positional flexibility for $1.5M. He won't be cut. Basham is a 2nd round rookie and can play DT and DE, which is valuable. He won't be cut, but might not dress. That leaves 2 options: - Cut Johnson, who is a great special teamer and decent depth - Keep 7 guys, two of which can play inside and out. I think it will be this one.

Great thread, terrible video.

This one might make a few people angry, but Jake Fromm. Apart from the one throw, he looked miserably lost out there. No pocket awareness, missing easy throws against fourth stringers… I’m out on him. Davis Webb showed a lot more and rendered Fromm an easy cut.

Well, you don’t have to worry about it because he signed with the Eagles for $4M. Those saying he’s overrated were apparently right. End thread.

Anchor Bar is universally known as a joke of a wing spot. Terrible wings... good marketing. Duffs is good, but you need more than one legitimate option on the poll.

I'm happy to see that Steven Nelson has deleted his Twitter. The primary reason why I didn't want him is his loud mouth on Twitter. He is the epitome of a complainer. Great player, but really, really doesn't seem like a "process" guy. If the Bills do a deal with him, I'd like to see it 1-2 years, maximum.

At this point, unless he’s taking a pay cut and it’s for less than a 5th, I don’t want it. No idea why everyone has been clamoring for an expensive, slow, old tight end who can’t block. Spend the money elsewhere and keep the picks.

This is a skewed stat. That's why people disagree. Edmunds is unbelievably talented. He's one of the fastest linebackers in the league. He has played 15 to 16 games every season at the MLB position on a team where we get run on a lot. OF COURSE HE'S GOING TO PICK UP A LOT OF TACKLES FOR NO GAIN OR LOSS. He also takes a lot of wrong angles and hurts the team badly when he gets juked out of his shoes multiple times a game. None of that is counted in this statistic. You're telling one side of the story. That's the problem.
