    Money laundering? Are the canopies made of gold? The cost of this stadium is ridiculous. I wonder how it went up 50%?

     

     

    One of the reasons is price of concrete since the original estimate has skyrocketed. 

     

    Also, its not something that effects us really. The Pegula's do not wish to cut corners on this at all with anything and are picking up the extra costs.

    If you look at the other most recent sports stadiums built... They all way over exceeded the original costs.  this does not shock me at all.

    Once we get Cooper, Smoot, Carter, Milano and Benford back and don’t sustain any more injuries we would be better than the 2020 team 

    yea, none of that matters because when some are healthy and come back.. others will be injured.  Cant base this off of injuries. 

     

    Good teams manage to stay really good no matter the injury.

    I think this is a fair and simple question, I immediately thought of 2020 , which is the obvious choice but we didn't have close to the OL and run game back then. 

     

    This team just put up 30 without WR1 and CB1 against the top offense last year. 

     

    Don't see any reason we can't win out , obstacles happen,  injuries happen but I see the most complete team I've seen in the Allen era imo

     

    Just curious of the families thoughts of  why or why not they are or aren't 

     

    GO BILLS

    I don't think we have put a full game of Solid offense out there yet to see if we are better than 2020. 

    We have the pieces, its just going to take time with this scheme, with healthy players to see a

    final product.  THEN and only then we will know.

  4. THAT KICK....   THAT KICK right there...

     

    THAT KICK makes up for EVERY messup this dude has had in the last year in a half. 

     

    I was more tearful and happy for him then winning the game. 

     

    THAT KICK.. Fixed his confidence.

    THAT KICK.. just told every player on this team that is struggling that they CAN Turn it around. 

    THAT KICK.. Is going to bring this team to the next level. Especially when people get healthy.

    Today I got confirmation from John's son that @John from Riverside (formerly from Hemet and VA) passed away in August from an unexpected heart attack. John was a daily mainstay in our lives here for over two decades. 47,292 posts and that's just from when we started counting in 2006 or so. He was getting ready to pack his bags and move to live with son in Oregon when he passed. Mysteriously, he last logged in March 8th. I had tried to connect with him several times per month since his disappearance, as there wasn't any public reason why he hadn't logged in. Unfortunately, we could not make contact with him or his family until the note I received today.

     

    John was a fiercely loyal Bills fan, despite never making it to Orchard Park. We had tentative plans to get him out for this year's tailgate, when he started mentioning health issues. We never got a chance to meet.

     

    John was an interesting guy. His deep love for the team made for some emotionally charged discussions. He never met a UDFA he didn't love, nor a ref he didn't hate and rage against their bias. His most well known story goes back to very early days of the community. The community troll (we had no moderating tools back then) liked to have fun with John given John's proclivity to emotional outbursts. This culminated in "Hogboy" challenging John to a helmet-spearing contest in a parking lot. John took this seriously and was ready to strap it on! 😂

     

    John frequently told us about his interesting life. He was in the air force in Iraq where he often told us about his high-level security clearance and attending intelligence briefs. He was a roadie for the Scorpions. He loved his kids and always had dreams of his son making the NFL and his daughter becoming an actress/singer. We would hear about the constant shuttling of his daughter to auditions where he would name drop with best of them. IIRC, he had plenty of stories about Katy Perry, Madonna, Celine Dion, etc... 

     

    He was a great sport in the shoutbox as the guys there enjoyed ribbing on some of the peculiarities. Topics on conversation included his frequent visits to Subway on campus where he was a grad student advisor, his love of Latina women, and a rotting toe that he proclaimed grew back after disregarding his doctor's advice and he just starting running on it. 😂

     

    Ultimately, John was a great guy who absolutely loved his kids, loved the Bills, and loved the community here. I regret we didn't make plans to meet a year earlier.

     

    We are fortunate he decided to make his home here and he will be missed.

     

    Go Bills!

     

     

    Sad News. So Sad.  Amazing write up.

  6. The door can hit him in the rear on the way out.  The dude is acting like he is actually this amazing starter and he is not.  

     

    2023 Edwards Started 17 games, 51 tackles. 32 were solo tackles with 1 INT.  

    2024 Hamlin played in 8 games, 47 tackles. 34 are solo with 2 int

     

    I no longer have premium PFF but i know by FACT that Hamlin putting up a better FF score this year than Edwards did last year. 

     

    Can not be great at every position in todays NFL.  Hamlin is just doing good enough that starts him over Edwards. 

     

    Edwards cap hit is 1.7 mil more than Hamline.  Edwards only concern is, is starting games this season... And anyone that knows football.. 

     

    Edwards value is low because he wont start with many teams in the NFL.  That being said, Nor will Hamlin but Hamlin doing just a good

    enough job to be the man.  

     

    Don't let the door hit you in the rear on the way out.

    I've never minded some folks' worried or disappointed takes, like someone said before it is about opinions. I do get annoyed when people refuse to do what you do and that is accept being wrong and be happy they you wrong in the direction that benefits our Bills. I've had plenty of the "I am so glad to have been wrong about <insert name here>" opinions.

    meh everyone has opinions on players, half the time we right, half the time we wrong. it is what it is lol.  I don't ask anyone ever to eat crow. Just a good raven dinner coming up would be nice :D

    So I'd consider those some of the nuances within release and route running rather than separate factors in themselves, but I suppose others might see that differently. I don't disagree at all they are important. 

    I don't know this stuff from video's either BTW.  Spending 100's of hours talking and hanging out with a family member that used to coach at the College level, I remember him mentioning many of these things over and over again.  The funny thing is, some day hit the field or the track. run 10 yards down field then make a cut to the right as hard and fast as you can and look with eyes and head the other way just at the time you make the break. Its not easy as people think it is lol. 

     

    The other thing I used to see back in the day is these HS kids being absolute Track Stars coming out of HS and all that speed and agility meant nothing at the next level because they were not doing any of the other things.  I would have to say out of any positions in football today.. its the nuances of CB and WR play that I know and enjoy talking about the most :D Puts a smile on my face and it makes my heart ache for those gone that I did these things with at the same time.

    I would also add someone that’s subtle shifty that doesn’t take a dramatic cut to get separation.  The dramatic cut guy, does get open for that split second but can be closed on quickly too.

    yes thats the point I was just bringing up. You can be so good at even doing that, but if you have trash head movement and lack quickness out of those breaks.. again you are toast.

    Separation comes down to four things:

     

    1. Release - this it the most improvable with coaching.

    2. Route running - this is improvable with repetition but there is also an element of natural talent to it too. Some guys just instinctively have the nuance. 

    3. Explosiveness - improvable with the right strength and conditioning training. 

    4. Longer speed - the hardest bit to improve. 

     

    I think Keon can get better as a separator I just don't think that will ever be his best asset. You don't have to be a separator to be a good NFL receiver. But I think you do to be a great one and I'd add to that every great offense needs someone who can separate vertically. That doesn't have to be Keon. It is about balancing the ticket to borrow some political language with what you have playing opposite him at the other outside receiver spot. That has to be a route running technician or a vertical speed guy IMO. What the Bills do at that spot next year: retain Coop? Draft anothet guy? Sign a FA? will be instructive.

     

     

    He definitely does have the bolded. It was another thing I remarked on when I evaluated him in the spring. When FSU used him in the slot and got him free releases and he could dictate the territory he wanted to occupy in a route he was dominant. When he was outside against physical corners who would challenge him off the line he had a tendency to let them pick their spot first and then play off the contact exactly as you describe. 

    5. Your eyes (Never look in the direction you are running your routs, move the eyes around often)

    6. Knowing your defender (playing divisional teams over and over again, knowing the CB's you play against (Seeing it all at the nfl level))

    7. Solid head movement (Look and move your head one way when running the other way) **

     

    ** Cover 1 discussed this one in dept in one of their video's recently and 100% agree.

     

    I could list a few more but you guys get the picture.  I guess my point is, there is way more into Separation then the 4 aspects you mentioned.  You can be the best explosive route runner in the league but if your not doing at least 2-3 other things that Gunner and I mentioned? You are toast.

    I’ll jump in. I don’t recall being down on Coleman, per se, but rather frustrated that we didn’t take Worthy to pair his A+ speed with Allen’s A+ arm strength. I would still love to see a true top flight deep threat on the team, but I’m very happy with Coleman’s progress.

    I just think Keon does it in different ways.   Ya have to ignore his 40 time.. its why WR's skip the 40 time lately.  Cause one bad day moves then a day behind. Coleman is sneaky quick.

    I'm not as high on Riq Woolen as others tbh. I think Witherspoon is the best corner on that team but Woolen isn't a mug by any means and Keon definitely won that matchup conclusively on Sunday. He is ahead of where I'd have had him at this stage. I'd have put him between 650 and 750 yards for the year (although with 7 or 8 touchdowns) and he is on pace for about 840. So there is lots there to like but I still need to see him separate better and more consistently - especially downfield - before I am willing to raise his ceiling to a true #1.

    for what reason cant his ceiling be this high? Predicting how high a players ceiling could be, especially a WR is INSANELY bad.  It takes many WR 1-2 years before they show you anything what so ever and he has already shown a ton. No one has said he is #1 now but the say he does not have that kind of ceiling is nuts.
