After he got hurt and did not play in the second half......it was like night and day once he was out of the game.
I remember this very well. Exactly as you described it too. Apparently a lot of other fans remember the same thing. A lot of my memories from regular season games that long ago are pretty vague and yet we all remember the “CJ Mosley game”. Probably helped that it was the season opener.-

On a side note, it’s kinda cool that we have become to the Ravens in the playoffs what the Chiefs have been to us 😂

I haven't even heard Dorian Strong's name since rookie minicamp. The reports on Hairston are that he's been getting better and better with each practice and has been mixing in with the 1s. It's nothing like Elam/Benford where early on they were clearly in a competition against each other. I'll be shocked if Hairston isn't the week 1 starter. If it's not him it will be White. Strong is fighting against Dane Jackson to make the roster.
We shall see. I sincerely hope I am wrong, but something like this may impact Hairston’s chance to be the day one starter we all expected. Off season reps are extremely important for rookies. And someone brought up a good point earlier about Cole Bishop and how his off season injury last year had a significant impact on his preparation and ability to compete for the starting job. I really, really hope this injury to Hairston does not linger. -
I know nobody wants to hear or believe this (including myself). It was a thought it my head about a month ago, but now, with this news, I’m going to officially make the call:
Dorian Strong wins the job over Hairston.
it’s Kaiir Elam vs Benford all over again. Guys both players were even drafted in the same rounds I mean come on we did it to ourselves 🤣

if king Henry is worth 15 million, james is not. that contract really hurt his value, IMO
Hodor...... Henry is worth 15 million, yes......at age 31.
Cook is 25 and prime age for a RB.
Henry at 25 would be more than 15 mil in today's (new) RB market.
I'm not so sure that this contract hurt James value as much as some may believe.

Think we all know what the cover image is going to be as well. I’d be shocked with Anything other than the “backwards hurdle”

How many of the TEs ranked below him would have caught that final pass against KC?
That's really all I care about. And those are the guys I want.

That’s not really true. Yes, they have positional flexibility, especially for injury, but when they played single high, Hyde was almost always high and Poyer at LB level.
Bills played Hamlin in the Hyde position but he really isn’t fast enough. Thats why I think Bishop, who may be more suited to the Poyer position, takes over for Hamlin this year. Hamlin is not fast enough for the Hyde position.
I know I might be in the minority but I hope Forrest gets a fair chance at the job as well. The kid can flat out ball and is an unbelievable athlete. The problem is, there always seems to be a bias against FAs brought in from other teams and a slight favoritism toward our own draft picks.
All I am saying is, let the best man win the job. Whether that Hamlin, Bishop or Forrest.
there is a lot more to be excited about with Bishop and Forrest also so I am hoping for a tight competition between those two at the end of the day.

Jairus Byrd was here multiple seasons but his rookie year where he would somehow pick off a pass every single week was pretty impressive and fun.
How about Bryce Paup! I know, he was here for 3 years, but that 17.5 sack season came out of nowhere and was spectacular. Believe he also won defensive player of the year!
And if we are doing most memorable for the wrong reasons… Anquan Boldin.

A lot of fans also wanted Leggette or AD Mitchell. Funny that I only see the comparisons to Ladd though.

This new generation has it so great.
This is what I had.
Can relate. When I was in middle school had a buddy with a tv descrambler. Once word got out, he was the coolest kid in class.

The team isn't lacking speed. KJ Hamler is on the PS. Jalen Virgil ran a 4.40. What it's lacking is speed WRs that can actually play at an NFL level consistently and get deep. Moore doesn't do either of those. I'd take him at this point because he's better than Shavers or Shenault but it's a marginal improvement and his skill set is mostly redundant with what already exists in Samuel and Shakir. Honestly I'd rather we re-sign Amari Cooper if anything. At least there's some sort of proof of concept there and he gives us a baseline vertical skill set.
Would still love to see Hamler actually get a chance in a regular season game. I don’t know what the issue is here. He played well for the Broncos despite playing on one of the worst offenses in the NFL. His problem was staying healthy.-

Me: Yes
Wife: No
There are many conversations we probably should have had years ago and didn’t. This is one of them 😆
8 year old son plays flag football now.
maybe this discussion will be revisited in high school if he’s still interested in playing.

I think Steelers just took Harmon....

Sooooo all these teams aren’t going DT/DT
Bills must go DB/DT, or make a trade.
Would it be SO BAD to make a splash move and take Golden? He keeps slipping. Some consider best WR in the draft after Hunter. And Beane has been saying we need a field stretcher for years.

Saw where Bills might trade up with Steelers and lose pick 56 but get pick 21 and 83. Steelers get 30,56, 113 or something like that.
Not sure that will happen just another rumor.
I assumed all along that was something they would target to get Grant, but since Grant is gone.... seems less likely.

Antoine Winfield
Tre White
Nate Odomes
Nate Clements
At least during my time actively watching since the late 80s
I am surprised how many posts I had to go through before seeing Winfield’s name. I actually think Winfield was better than Clements too.-

Don't really understand the buzz about Cooper being "done". He might not be getting the separation he once did, but he was making catches that nobody else in our WR room could. Had a couple big time catches in the first KC game too.

I don't think about it much anymore, but when I do, it still hurts as a huge missed opportunity.
It really all comes down to, by the time Josh Allen retired, will that have been the closest we ever got to a Super Bowl?
Hopefully not, but if it is, then yeah, it'll still suck to think about 10+ years later imo.
-
I try to look at it this way...
When we are somewhere between 4-2 and 6-0 after 6 games, getting these guys back is just going to feel like a bonus.
Then again, hopefully the activation of Hoecht and/or Larry O. does not come at the expense of a younger DL that is doing well for us.

No mention of Daequan Hardy? Was one of our standouts in pre-season last year. Former 6th round pick, like Benford. Maybe I’m missing something, but given the current situation, I am a little surprised he isn’t getting any consideration to at least compete for the CB2 job.
-
Considering we didn't sign a CB and don't have a CB2 on the roster right now, I actually would have preferred keeping Elam and preparing him all off-season to be the starting corner opposite Benford instead of swapping a 5th and 6th round pick to get rid of him.
This opinion may change if we sign a halfway decent CB with starting experience between now and the draft, but if we don't, does this force our hand into using our first round pick on a DB? Kind of looks like it right now. If that happens, they'd better get it right this time (and have a concrete backup plan if someone jumps in front of us and steals our target(s)).
On a side note, I am still intrigued by Daequan Hardy. This dude is athletic and flashed in the pre-season last year. If Benford could develop into the player he has become, I wonder if Hardy has a shot as well? This would depend on whether the Bills are willing to give him a fair shot at competing for the job, of course.
Remember a few years ago when we didn't have a starting LB after losing Edmunds? And everyone was CERTAIN that we were going to either sign his replacement in FA or draft him in the first couple of rounds. When neither of these things happened, nobody gave Terrell Bernard a chance. Nobody could believe the Bills were seriously planning to start this guy. But that's what happened, and it worked out.
I realize Bernard was a 3rd and Hardy was a 6th (like Benford) but once again, the dude looked GOOD as a rookie and some of us believed he should make the final 53 man roster.
Just makes me wonder...
Name a random Bills player and one thing you remember about them
