Success

Man, I am so tired of hearing about the "window." People have been saying the Bills window is closing or has closed since 13 seconds. It literally is just something people say. It is divorced from reality. Burrow summed it up best. Cincy has a window as long as he is QB. KC has a window as long as they have Mahomes. And the Buffalo Bills have a window as long as they have Josh Effing Allen. I don't think there are any teams outside of those 3 that can say that.

Obviously, everything depends on health. But I love the core of this team. I think w/ Brady being able to fully implement his own offense, JA w/ Kincaid in his 2nd year, Diggs healthier, Shakir really emerging, Cook & what will likely be a 1st round WR will put up a lot of points. On defense, we'll have to see how it goes - more guys are being replaced there. But younger & faster might be better in '24. I don't feel like there is much chance that we won't win the division again. From there, all we can is hope we're a little healthier than this past season, and that we get hot at the right time. I voted "win SB."

He's 22. I think he's the next one that some fans called a bust, but then broke out (Oliver, Epenesa, Bernard, et al.)

Of all of the news today, this was the biggest (imo). That contract was looming like a cloud over everything. Feels liberating to see this.

True. But I'm thinking more in terms of just needing some new energy. There is a hump out there that we have simply been unable to get over, regardless of seed or potential. And I've been vocal that injuries definitely set us back at the end of the season. But I love that we're going to have an infusion of youth and a bit of a makeover.

Looking different is a big positive, imo. We need some kind of fresh start.

You know what, fellow fans? We've got us a pretty solid GM. Today was a bit of a master class...

I didn't realize it was in NOLA next year! That's a bucket list city for me. If we make it, I'm goin'.....

It might be a little risky w/ Diggs - but man, he started out the season in peak form. I still think he was more hampered by injury then he or anyone let on. I still think he can play at a high level for 3-4 more years.

We missed him against KC. He's a solid player, and still pretty young. Good w/ this.

Wasn't he picked ahead of Mahomes? He's gotta be good...

This is the opposing fan sentiment. But we know better here. This team just got younger & faster. If Beane hits on 3-4 picks in this draft, we'll be as good as anyone in the AFC.

Just checking around the internet, the general sentiment is that our window is now officially closed. I agree w/ you. Tre hardly played for us the last couple of years. Hyde & Poyer were kind of starting to hurt us in terms of speed in the secondary. If Beane nails the draft & we can stay kind of healthy (admittedly, 2 big "ifs), we might even be better heading into '24.

We may be the youngest team in the league come September. This is a soft rebuild - but I don't think that takes us out of contention this year. Health is going to be even more important than usual if we want to make a run at the end.

We have quite a few late rounders. I'm sure some will be trade fodder, but hopefully we draft a punter too.

It hurts that his last moments on the field for the Bills were getting carted away w/ a towel over his head. Thank you, Tre. Never gave less than everything he had.

Miller will probably be next year. Hopefully he can regain some of his form this season. Even a 6-7 sack season would be great.

Anxiously awaiting one of our cap/math wizards to give us a new total w/ the flurry of moves today....

I'm bummed that we couldn't keep the line together, since it's the best we've had yet. But if McGovern can be effective at center, we should be solid.

I can't keep up! This is the only one I actually expected, though...

In one day, we went from an aging team to pretty spritely.

The coaching staff has to lose that philosophy, now that Allen's contract is kicking in. This team has to draft well, an play many of those draft picks sooner than they'd like to.

When the Bills win a title, there are players I'm going to think about w/ gratitude, and wishing that they could have achieved that goal while they were on the team. Hyde & Poyer top that list. They helped give the Bills D a fierce identity, and were always a joy to watch. I wish both guys the best.

I think we get a 1st rounder, and either Boyd or Bourne. And that'd be just fine. I'd rather trade up in the 1st round for a better prospect than trade for one of these guys & their larger contracts.

Seems like a really good dude. Glad he got a ring. Unpopular opinion, but I like his brother too.
