Seems you're a bit sensitive. Read through your own thread. Pretty clear this "satire" was lost on a whole bunch of other posters. Friendly advice: If you're aiming for satire, don't insert so many qualifiers. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving

Are you saying that you were just trolling everyone like a jackass in your OP?

I'm probably considered one of the biggest optimists on this board and even I think thought this was pretty far-fetched. That said, I also believe this signing could be more impactful than the Amari Cooper signing was last year. And before everyone just dogs on that statement, Cooper's presence on the field really did make a difference last year even if he didn't statistically impact the team much. What I truly hope is that it's Shakir, Gabe and Cooks as our top 3 WRs. Those are the guys I think Josh would naturally trust the most. And then who knows???? If we can get a handful of games of Lofton-like production out of him that would be incredible.

I actually think Gabe Davis is the best WR on the Bills right now and he isn't even on our current 53 man roster.

Did anyone watch Josh's PC from today? Cooks is playing and I think he's going to be a decent part of our game plan. Josh complemented him on his high football IQ and kinda smirked when he said he's already learned most of the playbook. The playbook comment caught my attention because the way he said it he seemed pretty genuinely pleased by how much he knows already. Others can comment on it, but it didn't seem like the standard throwaway comment he might make in a PC.

Considering the Tackle situation Brady darn well better make this a game where Josh gets the ball out of his hands quickly.

Did McDermott announce this today?

Oh that's coming

Of course it's possible when you have Josh Allen at QB, sure. The Bills were 7-6 with dire playoff hopes because we looked abysmal in multiple games in 2021 and won their last 4 games and we all know what happened. The Bills were 6-6 with pretty dire playoff hopes because we looked abysmal in multiple games in 2024 and won their last 5 games and ended up in the divisional round where we were a Dion Dawkins block away from winning or a Tyler Bass field goal away from potentially winning a home game against the Chiefs. We've looked terrible this year in multiple games, but it's head-scratching to me how short everyone's memory is. This isn't new.

If we win out we win the division and are the #1 or #2 seed. The Pats are losing 2 of their remaining games not against us. I don't see why people look at the Pats and think even their soft schedule is a gimme. They almost lost to the Bengals without Chase, Burrow, and then Higgins after he got concussed. I think they're losing to Jameis on the road on MNF.

The report made it seem like he would be released this season. Weird. But if this is the case, I hope Beane trades for him. His value would be down given the situation so it wouldn't be a 1st. Trade for him. He'd be healthy at that point. And then draft a WR, too.

So is this happening or not?

I hope Beane trades for someone and also drafts someone highly. If it's just 2 1sts for JJ, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

100% Most Bills fans are in a silo only watching Bills games without realizing how much other teams struggle. Love that you point out the Eagles, who along with losing yesterday won a 10-7 barn burner against the Packers recently. And how about the way the Ravens played yesterday? Did anyone watch that offense against the lowly Jets? Yikes!

The 2025 draft looks like a Homerun for Beane and Bishop is playing like an Elite Safety right now. Taking Coleman over McConkey and not ponying up the 2026 1st for Waddle (if true) were massive misses by Beane.

Your ignorance combined with brazen blanket statements that are patently false is pretty annoying. You're super wrong. In 2021 I randomly picked 5 games the Bills played and they scored 7 or fewer points in the 1st half in 5 of those games. 4 were losses (TB, IND, JAX, NE) and 1 was a Win (MIA). I didn't even look through all the games because that alone proves you talk out of your $#@. Would you like to make any more misguided statements stemming from your gut? No people don't actually remember that regular season. They only remember the playoffs.

Not true. Look at the AFC playoff picture and the remaining schedule for each team. I think the Patriots are losing at least 2 of their 4 games that aren't against Buffalo.

Why?

You have a short memory and like to just make blanket statements based on your gut. You should go back and watch those teams. Heck how about this... go to pro football reference and just look at splits. You don't even need to watch. Even when we had Diggs in his prime this offense struggled at times. And by the way... that's the nature of all NFL teams... even the great ones.

November: 11-8 Dec & Jan: 20-4 That's from 2020-2024, the 5 years we consider this era of the Bills. November is always a slog for this team. I know "eye test" will be thrown out there but might be recency bias because those teams put out some absolute clunkers in November. I don't see how anyone can not say the 2021 losses to Jacksonville and Indy are worse than our 2 losses this year. Winter is coming EDIT: Also, I'm adding this to the OP because some may argue that this season is somehow different and past teams haven't struggled so much in entire halves during the season. In 2021 thwre were 5 games the Bills played and they scored 7 or fewer points in the 1st half in 5 of those games. 4 were losses (TB, IND, JAX, NE) and 1 was a Win (MIA).

Is Tylan Grable ready to come back yet? What's up with him? Forgive me but not gonna miss Bernard

Josh Allen hasn't lost it and can still go nuclear as he's demonstrated more than once this year. James Cook has emerged as an Elite RB who our OC is still trying to figure out how to utilize correctly. Dalton Kincaid has emerged as a borderline Elite TE and Josh's most trusted weapon and he wasn't on the field in Houston. 2 games back with Davis and Palmer and Josh is trying to reestablish chemistry... which looks close to there with Gabe. The 2025 draft looks like a HR. We're going to be in the playoffs and there's a very real possibility that for a team that's dealt with half a decade of playoff pressure that playing on the road might benefit them. Cole Bishop looks like an Elite Safety. We still have Josh Allen. Josh Allen Did I mention we have that Josh Allen guy?
