Success

Man....that defense....

Dane Jackson has looked great - and a 1st rounder should be able to start on day 1. This is how depth gets built. You can have good players waiting in the wings - but they also need experience. Hopefully, this will serve the Bills better down the home stretch & in the playoffs.

There is literally no GM in the league I'd rather have. And that's not a homer take. I have homer takes - but that isn't one of 'em.

I hope that by the Bucs' bye week, the storylines are all "he pushed it one season too far....this is embarrassing..."

He ranks pretty high in punts placed inside the 20. That, to me, is more important than a boomer (though he can punt far, as well). It really changes the game when you can pin opponents deep, consistently.

I was dismissive of them last year, and we still needed the Colts to come through late in the season to win the division. BB can probably coach over half the rosters in the league to contention. All that said - they certainly don't scare me a bit. Which is something I haven't said since the '90s. Game manager QB, not much of a secondary or pass rush, middlin' WR corps. They're not making any deep playoff runs anytime soon.

So, after all that, we'll still be upgrading that position. Good.

I'd love the nervous chuckles around the league if the Bills announced that they weren't going to have a punter on the roster this year....

Not at all. Our justice system still has major flaws & biases - but it is still one of the best in the world. And it sure as HELL is better than a jury of twitter losers.

For sure. I would never imply that because of Duke Lacrosse, we need to start doubting every accuser. But the truth needs to come out. The definitive verdict against the accused on this one is typical, imo - and shows we learned nothing from the Duke case. People who go immediately to twitter or wherever and post something like "the Bills suck if they don't immediately cut him" don't know anything. It's the kind of knee-jerk we see every single time. We have one of the best justice systems in world history. People need to let it run its course.

After checking other boards today, I've gotta admit - I do hate how everyone rushes to judgment. It's how America has been since the internet really took off (probably before, too - but it's much more evident now). America has decided that this guy is guilty, without doubt. And that may be true - but man, do we need to let the wheels of justice roll and the truth to come out. I really hate how a jury of twitter addicts decides these things now. It's like Duke Lacrosse never happened.

You know - it would really scare teams if we just decided to go for it on every 4th down this year. In the end, we'd probably score more, also. Sure, we'd come up short a few times - but more often than not, we'd probably make it.

Pretty big uproar already. As far as football goes, it's probably best for the Bills to cut ties if this drags on - it's too much of a distraction. If it does turn out to be false or he's innocent, he'll get a job somewhere else. It wouldn't be totally fair that he got cut, but that's the world we kind of live in now, and he'd land on his feet if that was the case.

I trust Beane, McD, the Pegulas and this whole organization to do the RIGHT thing. That thing has yet to be determined - but I have 100% faith in them.

He's an exciting player to have - but football is just a game. If it's determined that he's guilty, he should face all & any consequences that come w/ that. Money, fame & value to a sports franchise should have no bearing.

Happy for him. All I could think about when Punt God nailed that 80+ yarder was Haack on the sidelines thinking of what other teams might need a punter...

Hoping for the best, OP. Cats do have good instincts. When I was growing up, we had a cat disappear for over a month, and find its way back.

It needs time. Mayfield was considered the best of Allen's class after year 1. Mac Jones would have failed miserably on the Bears, Jets or Jags. He was in a perfect situation for a young QB, and they designed the safest possible offense for him.

My fingernails are gone. That Mets line-up is fierce. Would love a subway series! Best of luck the rest of the way.

He's been hurt. I think he's a very good QB - he almost beat KC in the playoffs a few years back. I think he's still going to do really well. I think the Browns already regret it. I feel pretty bad for Browns fans. They were close to making the kind of "transition to contender" progression that we had....but they might be back to square 1 now.

That decision would be both odd, and very unlikely.

The ideal would be that he's just good enough for them to stick w/ him for many years - but that he's never good enough to get by the Bills. Some years, NE gets close - but we're an obstacle they can never get by. I'd really enjoy that.

This is pretty much how I'd like the team to look every game.

It's almost silly how much talent this team has. I remember when it was just Moorman and Schoebel.

Pats fans have been talking this way about the guy all offseason. They're worse than I was w/ Tuel. Jones seems like a nice dude, and capable QB - but I have never wanted to see a player fail as much. The hype is ridiculous. "They've got their Montana/Young situation!" "He's already the best QB from that draft!" "Better rookie season than Brady!" Keep an eye on him when he doesn't have a clean pocket. Scouts get paid for a reason. Most pro-ready - lowest ceiling.
