Success

We have too many picks already - I'd be thrilled if they traded up to get the top CB on their board.

I ended up getting a Nordictrack, and it's been fantastic. They have everything you could want - instructor led classes, and amazing scenic rides w/ guides all over the world (and some of those guides can really push you). I'm sure Peloton has the same, but I've been 100% happy since I got the Nordictrack last year.

Life without the GOAT. So far, so good. It will take a long time & a lot of Patriots losses before that team makes the kind of transition that the Cowboys made over the past 25 or so (from supreme hate, to dislike, to indifference & then even to some pity), but we're off to a good start, especially taking 4 out of 5 including a playoff beatdown for the ages. I hope Kraft is looking up at the Bills it the standings for as long as Allen is our QB, and a good 10-year playoff drought for that team would be healing as well.

Good. The AFC talent level is at capacity.

Allen to Diggs will be this generation's Kelly to Reed - except with a Lombardi or 2 to show for it. Or 3 or 4. So, so happy this guy will be a Bill for many years. It would be geat if he retired here. He has meant so much to the turnaround we've had & the general winning attitude.

It's kind of weird looking at the schedule & realizing that we'll be favored in almost all of the games, if not all. My expectations are high, as is my confidence. I think the Bills learned some hard lessons about not buying into early hype last season. I think they're going to play every game with the Jags & 13 seconds in the back of their minds. I expect them to play with desperation from the 1st snap until victory formation in the SB.

I see a pretty heavy CB & Safety draft for the Bills.

I think visiting NYC is different from living there. I visited for many years, and had similar impressions as the OP. But when I started living there, I really grew to love it. For me, it was about discovering "my" NY, and I saw that in other people who I got to know. You make the City smaller & more accessible when you find your niche. I don't live there anymore, but I love going back. When it comes to food & culture, there is no place that's more interesting & varied. I also love the attitude of new yorkers - no nonsense & tough as nails.

The Patriots didn't really have a chance in that 2nd game. And he had absolutely zilch to do w/ the Pats only win against the Bills in the past 2 seasons. Zilch. He never hung with Allen, in even the loosest definition of "hung" imaginable.

Pretty good pick up for the Pats. It's VERY weird that Miami would choose to trade a good WR within the division. I don't really get why teams do that, especially w/ NE.

As long as Da'Rick is still on the roster....

The whole thing is extremely enjoyable. The best part is that we're just starting out. This isn't Allen's 15th year in the league coming up - he's just starting to roll. We have many years of exciting & competitive football ahead of us.

I never enjoyed a game as much as this one. From the 1st drive on. It had none of the periodic nailbiting of most other games - you knew from Hyde's pick that it was over. And there was literally nothing that the greatest coach ever could come up with to slow us down. It didn't exorcise 20 years' worth of demons. But it came close.

I mean, I definitely agree w/ that. This isn't a "celebrating the championship" thread. I just think it's kind of cool that on paper, we're the best right now. But ultimately that's meaningless.

I see some trades on draft day - we have too many picks for this year. Either move up if there is a CB they really like, or accumulate some picks in future drafts. I can't remember ever feeling like we had so few holes heading into a draft.

This past year for sure. The year before? We weren't there yet. We didn't really compete w/ KC in that game (injuries had something to do w/ that, but they were still better).

I'd be thrilled if Allen only ran once or twice a game. I want him playing at a high level for a long time.

Got it. Sorry. I won't talk about the team until we win a Super Bowl.

"Best team" doesn't really matter. I tried to note that. A lot of "best teams" didn't end up winning the trophy. But, it's still cool to have the best team right now.

It's not a homer statement, though. Before the Hill trade, I would have said KC. What other team is at the Bills' level? I can say KC, Cincy, Denver, the Bucs, the Rams - but no one is quite as good. We would be favored in all of those games.

It's a Saturday. Cut me some slack.

Well, we've only had the best team for a few weeks. So, there's that.

I'm a Levi Wallace fan - but I'd wager that whichever draft pick we replace him w/ will be better, and we have Tre coming back at some point. Dane Jackson & Johnson are not slouches, and Hyde/Poyer is considered to be one of the best safety tandems in the league. Even w/ Allen, I think I'm most excited to watch our D in the upcoming season. It's going to be smothering, and very hard to score against.

I just wanted to write this, after 20 years of being nothing. It took drafting the best QB of his class, in the most hyped class in years, and a GM to put the pieces in place around him. I don't think it's disputable, nor do I think it's a slam dunk verdict. But on paper, the Bills are the best team in the league right now. The best offense, and a TRUE #1 defense - not the flimsy kind of #1 we had last year. Obviously, the pressure is on now. Being the best on paper isn't something that goes down in the history books. They have to cash in w/ the Lombardi. But we are the best. I just wanted to take a moment to say it & appreciate it. We can beat anyone.

He isn't. But he kind of is.
