I'm not going to get into the hypotheticals about stats and draft position etc., but I share your enthusiasm for him. He's off to a pretty good start and seems to be a pretty good fit here. For a "project" guy he's already producing at a premium position on his rookie deal. He seems like a coachable kid with a bright future. I'm a fan.
Go Bills!

No thanks. Besides the fact that he's unlikeable, he'll get paid way more than he's worth. I think 2 years (from his mvp season) is a long time in the NFL. Reevis, or Norman, or Shady or any number of guys can attest to how quickly times can change. I'm not saying he's done but given what he'll get paid, his persona and the fact that he's on the other side of his career, I say no thanks.

Welp, Micah is our leading tackler with 17. The rookie lineman has 11 tackles and leads the team in sacks (2).
I'm not sure what more you're expecting out of a 1st year player that didn't play last year.
I think he's off to a solid start, I like the pick more now than when we drafted him. He's bigger than I thought and a pretty likeable kid. I see good things for him in the future.
Go Bills!

There's a ton of good places for pizza but I think if you're looking for an authentic "Buffalo" pizza I think you go with tradition, Bocce or La Nova. Casa, and Franco's and Blasdell and all those other places are great too.
I think the Anchor Bar is worth a trip too, the original one on Main St. They still make a great beef on weck and obviously it's where wings began. I'd put Gabriels Gate's wings on par with them as well. They're my favorite wing spots in town. Go Bills!

From Facebook:
Former Pro Football Referee Ben Dreith passed away at the age of 97.
Dreith was a former American professional football on-field official who worked from 1960 to 1969 in the American Football League (AFL) and from 1970 to 1990 in the NFL. Prior to his teaching and officiating career, he was a three-sport athlete at the University of Northern Colorado.Dreith developed a reputation of being a no-nonsense, tough-minded official on the field. During his thirty-year career, he officiated two Super Bowls, and received a playoff assignment for twenty-eight consecutive years.
Dreith was hired by the new AFL in 1960 and moved to the NFL in 1970, following the AFL–NFL merger. He was the referee during Super Bowl VIII and Super Bowl XV and was assigned eight conference championship games. ......... Dreith is also known among football fans for his unique explanation of a personal foul penalty during a 1986 game between the Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets. After the Jets' Marty Lyons tackled Bills quarterback Jim Kelly to the ground and started to repeatedly punch him in the head, Dreith announced to the crowd: "There's a personal foul, on number 99 (Lyons actually wore 93) of the defense — after he tackled the quarterback, he's giving' him the business down there, that's a 15-yard penalty." Dreith's call also involved an improvised hand signal of a repeated punching action. Condolences to his family and friends and may he Rest in Peace.

My family still makes this reference regularly. My mother thought it was the greatest call ever lol.

He obviously loves football and has a chance to get some snaps, good for him.
He's keeping the dream alive! 🏈

clown?
who are you?
I'm a guy that knows better than to throw that kind of opportunity away 3 times.
I'll try not to laugh the next time i read his name in the news. (It's inevitable) 😆

I'm interested to know why you think this. What do you know about his spending habits/monetary responsibility that leads you to make this prediction?
Well... he had the golden goose and couldn't get out of his own way to get the egg. He was more interested in getting stoned and stuffing his face than maximizing his potential. When given a 2nd and 3rd chance he blew those too. Given his propensity for poor decisions and lack of seriousness in his career, I'd say it's a pretty good guess. I'd wager this clown is next to broke now, the CFL is not exactly a cash cow and money goes fast. He signed with us the Steelers and the Argo's none of which were big money deals. Yeah he's about broke by now I'd wager. I've never heard of or seen anything in his history or behavior that would lead me to believe different.

The lack of a combine doesn't help much. Watching the position groups compete, specifically the skill positions help my armchair GM'ing considerably

Good stuff, how can you not love the Shnow man! ⛄

Ok, but the reality is that he isn't what a 9th overall pick is "supposed" to be, so we either make the best of the situation or do nothing and complain about it.
We're making the best of it, and I'm not hating on him. He'll need a couple of solid seasons for us to pick up his 5th year though. I think we'll draft Edge this year and likely a DT. So without complaining, I think Beane already has his radar on this and a plan of action.

Not entirely fair, Oliver was out of position quite a bit. We really need a true 1T for him to shine.
What other player gets the luxury of saying "if he had a better player next to him" he'd shine.
This is the NFL, players move around and get asked to play out of position at times. I don't remember saying this about KW. If you're selected #9 overall, you need to find a way to contribute more. On and off the stat sheet.
I'm not hating on Ed, but saying I'm disappointed doesn't quite cut it either. We need more from Ed or he won't be around much longer.

Beane has definitely put us in a position to do whatever he wants.
He can easily take the BPA without any glaring holes, and it looks like we could land someone worthwhile at Edge or CB.
With our core in tact and under contract he could move up and grab someone if he really covets them (not likely).
Or he could move back a few places and find a value pick(s). Depending on where Beane see's our needs and mostly how the draft unfolds.
I can't remember having this kind of flexibility in the draft in a long while. (ever?)
Go Bills!

I feel like there's more potential with Breida. There's definitely not room for both.

If we don’t go pass rush specialist with our first pick then I am so done with this team
There likely won't be any top tier rushers when we pick. I would not trade up for anybody in this draft and I'm not sure Ossai or anyone else makes it down to us.
Would you draft 2nd or 3rd round talent with your 1st pick? That's likely the situation we'll be in. We'll probably take a corner with our 1st pick but id up for trading back for Friermuth.

I wanted JA all the way up until draft day, then I felt like I wanted Darnold. All the talking heads probably wore me down rofl.
I never liked Baker or Rosen.

The Shady story in that article is priceless.
Shady was a stud and one of the leaders of that team, for him to hand Sammy an envelop full of paper targets must have been soul crushing.
He said he was butt hurt, and Id bet he and his reputation in that locker room never recovered.

Great signing! A few thoughts:
Steal at that price
Barkley wont get signed by anyone, and this should say all that it is needed to be said.
Fromm to the PS? I doubt anyone is interested in his noodle arm.
The Patriots re-signed Cam.... really? lol

You gonna be okay ? Treat yourself to a bubble bath and a chic fil a breakfast.
By week 3 you’ll be swooning for Sanders after he scores a couple TD’s for us.
I'd ask you the same question. You're in full blown forum rage because were not all over the moon for Sanders.
I'm underwhelmed, you're in a frothy frenzy, we can agree to disagree. Maybe lay off the coffee in the AM.

I feel like in Minnesota he was fighting for recognition and attention, respect maybe even. With an aloof QB a run heavy attack and a WR ahead of him, I feel like as good as he is, he was fighting for those opportunities and the teams respect (coaches and QB more than anything).
Here, he obviously doesn't have to fight for it and so he's found a his comfort zone. He's clearly the #1 on the team, he has a great relationship with his QB and we're now a pass heavy attack. The team and the fans have embraced him and his coach is a straight shooter.
It's easy to see the stark contrast between the two situations and is no wonder why he's gone on to do the things he has. Add a legitimate chance to win one and yeah... night and day. He's clearly a guy that wears his emotions on his sleeve and his teammates rally behind him. I'm happy for him and us.
Go Bills!
