Am I missing something? What does Engram bring that Knox does not?
I've been critical of Rambo in the past, but didn't he have a good season? I feel like this money better is spent elsewhere.

My first reaction is one of relief. I like Isiah and think we could use him better. Yes, there's always a better player and a better deal but he's our guy @ a reasonable rate. Chemistry, continuity and rewarding your own etc etc etc. It's a good signing, he still has plenty of upside and I hope he get's some creative touches. I like it!
Go Bills!

I can't remember if we love or hate Star atm, but this would surely be an upgrade, yes? Maybe Beane can do some magical accounting and make this work

I think this was a special team. The way we kept so many together for so long. But I think we’re paying some for overpaying players now and for KC-gate….I don’t think we’ll have that really close family feeling for a while now….
Although we still have Hyde and Poyer for now….
Uncle Mongo's gone, team chemistry is over. 😱

Rousseau held the edge pretty good last year for a rookie. Shaq likely be his primary backup.
Groot is clearly the future, this would be a solid rotation. We've got guys that can move to the back of the rotation, or maybe not get resigned at all.

He's an excellent edge defender, it'd be a solid signing if at a reasonable rate. He'd definitely earn a bunch of snaps on this current roster.

Good, I'd like to beat Rodgers in the Super Bowl. It'd do worlds for JA's legacy too

I'd like Barkley TBH. If the Giants pick up a portion of his tab (they'll likely have to do, half?) and send over a 5th. They get a 5th and some cap relief, we get a promising player at a reasonable cost. He gets the early part of the season to get his legs under him and maybe he comes on strong for our playoff run. I'd be good with this. Devin shouldering the early load and running with the hot hand in the playoffs.
-
It'll be Gronk, he'll bring his clown show to town for a year to cap his career. Good player, but I don't want him associated with this team. We don't need him to get the job done.

I'm sure parting ways was a mutual decision. I don't want to make an issue of the vax drama involving him, but to say it has no impact on the Bills decision would not be honest. I think Beane was pretty clear how he felt about it and got some heat from the NFL for it. Regardless of where covid stands now his decision weighed on the matter for sure. Add the other obvious reasons, salary, age etc. and its not hard to understand the Bills position.
On the other side, I'm sure Cole also has some lingering and less than glowing feelings about the whole situation too. I'm sure he also feels he's worth every bit of his 2023 salary. He see's Davis and Knox hears about our interest in Gronk and adding speed etc. and he know's his touches aren't going up. I like Cole, but he could probably use a fresh start somehwere.

It's an emotional game and a long and draining season. Couple that with high expectations and missed opportunities and it's not always going to be rosy in paradise. Some people handle this more gracefully than others. If there were "real" issues or ones that were setting us back, it wouldn't be afterthought or footnote tweet. It would be "THE" story.

disagree. This playoff season had some of the closest wildest games as a whole in memory.
speaking of memory--it was only a year ago (16 game season) where the playoffs featured a GB blowout of the Rams, Bills beatdown of the Ravens, Bucs spanking the Saints, a decent NFCC game and a KC beatdown of the Bills in the AFCC and a blowout in the SB (Chiefs too tired?).
This playoff season was riveting. 17 games no negative impact.
I'm inclined to agree with this on a whole. I thought it was a great playoff season. I think maybe this SB lacked any real emotional investment from fans. Nobody really loves or hates either of these teams, except their respective markets. At least everyone loved to hate the patriots, or fawn over Mahomes or had a dozen reasons to be invested in any of the other recent Superbowls past;
Most people knew very little of the Bengals outside of Burrows name, and they certainly didn't watch any games during the season. Id question how many fans the Rams have nationally as well. IDK maybe it's just me but this Superbowl lacked something before the game even started. The game wasn't amazing, I felt it lacked all the high drama of the previous weeks.

i have not found any pizza in Buffalo that i like. i agree with Mongo, its our opinion.
I know alot of local people that prefer NYC style pizza swear by Zetti's.

Can someone explain Buffalo pizza to me? What makes it different from other pizza?
I see lots of pictures where the pepperoni is on top and all crisped up, is that the signature?
I'd say we're somewhere between NYC and Chicago style Pizza. The real margherita pepperoni's that curl up are definitely a Buffalo signature. Buffalo is also known for the original red or sweet sauce base and typically has/had a small crust. Typically they'd bring the toppings out as far as they could, unlike a NYC pizza with a giant crust wheel around the outside of their cardboard.
Bocce is king, but I think Picasso's is one of or a spin off of one of the original buffalo pizza's. Again, no shortage of good pies in Buffalo imho.

I find the out of towners that complain about Buffalo pizza typically prefer cardboard with a little sauce smeared around and dusted with cheese.
I'd say were somewhere between Chicago deep dish pies and NYC cardboard. Just the way I like it. I like Bocce, but there's really no shortage of Buffalo Pies I like.
Contrast that with NY pizza that looks like it could be placed under your tires in snow or mud to get some extra traction.

No dome, Orchard Park, it's happening. Got it.
Truth be told, the only thing that ever mattered was what the Pegulas wanted. The don't want to pay for an AT&T luxury dome, or deal with the extra headaches and real estate costs of moving into the city. It's the path of least resistance (and cost).
I've always said the Bills moving to Orchard Park, UB building the Amherst Campus, and the silly train to no where were all terrible ideas. We'd have 30k+ people downtown everyday for school, we'd still have car and foot traffic and all the economic growth that goes with it. We'd be like a real city... but I digress. The 33 running through the middle of the city or the 190 and Skyway cutting us off from the water leaves something to be desired too... o\
At least the Bills will be here, that much seems certain for now. Go Bills!

Emmanuel Sanders said on SportsCenter today that he came up with a new team motto today during a conversation with Stefon Diggs to mentally prepare for going into Arrowhead on Sunday:
“We’re all we got and we’re all we need.”And my childhood metal years started comparing it with this;
Please make it stop!

You're guessing that on a few long runs Edmunds was the reason.
I've never tried to say Edmunds is good vs the run. You're basically saying he's problem on defense. A defense that's been ranked top 5 in 3 out his 4 years and could finish #1 in yards and points this year.
I think what you need to do is spend less time trying to prove Edmunds is bad and watch other Mike's and defensive lines around the league.
It's a collective effort when the Bills get beat for a big run.
How very cliche' "football is a team effort" Yes, of course it is, but within the team they all play a roll, some to better degrees than others.
You're either satisfied or feel we can not do better. I am neither. *shrugs*

Or doing exactly what Leslie Frazier wants him to do. Kinda like we wonder why the DBs play so far off the receivers. I’ve yet to hear the coaching staff complain about his play.
The team has alot invested in Tremaine obviously. They're giving him every confidence and some would say more than deserved. I think his next contract talks will be more revealing about how they feel about the position. My vote is to move on.

The league and the players in the league says differently i.e. pro bowl appearances. **shrugs**
The list of overrated pro bowl players and pro bowl snubs is vast. I'm not sure that makes your case he's either an effective run stopper or pass rusher.
We clearly disagree. I'm not hating on the person, just wanting an upgrade or a positional change for him and the team.

Such a terrible evaluation. Plus Edmunds length takes up so much space in the passing game that it makes up for any shortcomings you think he has in the run game.
What you call terrible most unbiased and unemotional people see as glaringly obvious. Do you see him as an effective run stopper? pass rusher? Please share.
I'm not exactly sure what point you're trying to make about his long arms. Because he has long arms, he doesn't have to be a good run stopper... what? Maybe you could elaborate?
I'd watch the tape again. It's very hard to make the case that he's a good or even fair run stopper.

When I think of Edmunds all I think about is he still can get better. He hasn't peaked yet.
Plateaued is the word I would use.
I think about how dominant we could be if we had a MLB with better run stopping instincts and/or better pass rushing skills.
It really just feels like he is soo much better suited to play outside, side to side, in the flat etc. Hell, he could then over run every play (like he does now) and force things back inside. That would be better than the constant whiffs and gaping holes we have up the middle now.
2cents.
