I'm guessing you've never watched Barry.
He's NoHo Hank and I'll never be able to get it out of my head when I see him.
Have you seen his interviews where he reveals he's from Massachusetts and speaks with a very metro accent? Disconcerting, at first, but SO impressive given how iconic and unplanned his character's impact has been (was supposed to die in first episode, but Hader made a last minute audible to let him live). What a gem.

Normally, I want to pump the brakes on immediate, negative reactions to limited evidence, but it's REALLY DIFFICULT not to be at least a little disappointed in the tight seating dimensions revealed in that short video. Especially given my already-in-motion financial obligation to seats that will likely be identical. Those people were packed in like Allegiant Air or Frontier Airlines economy seating.
One important mitigator: standing seems to CREATE more overall space to move and breathe. Different fan heights, and shoulders at an angle facing midfield, allow more 3-dimensionial room to spread out.
Good to know they're keeping it COZY in the 100s damn.

Hilarious if he's announcing something completely unrelated to the schedule, like some kind of streaming content development deal or a reveal along those entertainment lines (thinking of that Skydance Sports overall representation deal he signed a couple months back).

Actually.....
As I have to periodically remind people(much to the chagrin of his biggest fans), Eric Moulds WAS absolutely trashed on the predecessor to TBD which was the Rochester D&C's Hyperbills. And on WGR and in other forms of media. Of course, if it was NOW, he would have been banned from the NFL before he ever had a chance to break out after picking a girl off the ground by the neck and slamming her against the wall and choking her on the Buffalo State campus. He kept the Bills legal representation busy those first couple years with his lady issues(and he's still spreading the love apparently😂). There was a lot more leeway on criminal behavior back then. Moulds was such a sh!tcloud of failed performance and criminality that it was simply presumed heading into camp in 1998 that he would be cut. It was a remarkable turn of events when he had that incredible season.
Your "People's History" of Eric Moulds won't be well received lol. But genuine thanks for sharing the historical context most are ignorant to and some are actively ignoring/revising. Buffalo was NEVER a culture-first organization until more recently than many would like to acknowledge. Especially those of us (ME ME ME) who CHERISH trashing the Chiefs for their organizational lack of personal conduct standards.

I don't think Curtis Samuel is a lock. Elijah Moore is the same kind of receiver as Samuel: shorter, very fast and will take most of his snaps in the slot and can run trick plays. Moore is a little lighter. The big difference is Samuel's cap figure is quite a bit bigger and he's three years older. Moore can play outside, but the slot is his bread and butter. Prather is going to be primarily an outside receiver. If Coleman and Palmer start outside, Prather would fit in as depth outside if he were to beat out Shavers. I could see Buffalo keeping Coleman, Shakir, Palmer, Moore, Prather and Shenault. Shenault would have to beat out Codrington as a returner. I'm not predicting that at this point, but it wouldn't shock me.
Contract (plus late-season/playoff production) says he almost certainly IS a lock. Need to roll with him at least one more year and hope he's healthy and dynamic.

The idea that Hamlin isn’t at least a quality backup well worth a roster spot (bolstered by the fact that he’s a willing and decent ST player) is just insane to me.Is he kind of an expensive #3 or #4 S though (2M guaranteed, ~1.3M cap hit)? Maybe his value as a trusted replacement-level depth player (27 starts and >50% STs) on the backend justifies the cost, but he hasn't made many impact plays on those 2,135 snaps (D and STs). Definition of Just A Guy at this point imho. Not the kind of guy who can keep up against playoff competition.

He plays the penetrating style of defense the Bills want. He sacks Drake Maye and Shaduer in the video and stops Maye on Qb sneak. Who knows?"Hey, you never know."
That tidy little highlight package certainly shows what the Bills are looking for at 1T: aggressive/disruptive 1-gapping against run and pass. Which is basically the same thing they want at 3T, but with the robust physicality and mentality to consistently line up between the C and OG and fight those phone booth battles.
Defensive position battles are really intriguing this off season; compelling depth battles at all 3 levels, plus CB and S have starting jobs up for grabs. Not likely that Casey Rogers climbs higher than PS (or maybe gameday inactive), but what do we really know before it happens? Just keep adding and developing. Move on from misses and keep swinging.

I can see a future starting lineup of Benford, Hairston, Bishop, and Hancock, with Strong at nickel.
Strong is not a nickel on a McDermott defense. He's boundary all the way.

I am not saying that I agree or disagree about whether the Bills need more safety help. I truly don't know.
However, Beane and McDermott have a reason for everything. They might choose the wrong guy here or there, but they know what they need. The fact that the Bills have done more or less nothing at safety can mean only one thing: they have what they need at safety. Your thought is the same thing many people, including me, were saying a couple years ago when Bernard, coming off a rookie season when he played little and didn't really impress, had no competition for the job.
Put another way, if the Bills think they need someone, they go and get competition. Like DT this year, and corner. And wideout. If they aren't bringing in competition, it means they like what they have.
Agree generally that McD should be trusted when it comes to the secondary, and especially with the S position.
Disagree specifically that signing Forrest amounts to "more or less nothing at safety." Forrest comes in with more pedigree and better traits than Jordan Poyer had when he signed. SUPER athletic prospect who was fairly productive and flashed when he got his chance to start.

Serious youth movement on the defense and in the secondary in particular. Hairston, Strong, and Hancock ALL make the team if healthy, imho.
REALLY hope the Bills are actually willing to part with Jackson and/or White and/or Hamlin or whoever at DB, as necessary. Really hope the new additions outperform those retread vets. Ready to watch a defense that's truly aggressive and able to disrupt even top QBs...

Meh, it's just another example of the kidification of the NFL. I noticed at the draft when Goodell came out and everyone was booing and he stood there saying "bring it on" or something, it reminded me of McMahon in the WWE.
It is what it is. I'm old and am no longer the demographic they're aiming for. The only ones pitching to me are the erectile dysfunction pills they're always hawking during the ad breaks
Sorry for your loss

Oh I don't go to church. I'm just trying to justify sleeping in on the weekends. What's a subscription level? Do you have to prepay to go to church now?
I was referring to being a season ticket holder, actually.

Are all International games scheduled for 9:30am? Does Goodell just hate church goers? I may be old enough to be a grandpa but in my defense it's been a regular habit of mine since my early 20's. They encourage it in Spain.
I've always thought of my weekly Sunday suffering with the Bills as a form of worship. Now that I've been back in the area for a while I'm actually attending the Orchard Park mega church gatherings on a subscription level.

Davis was hurt and Sherfield ended up starting in our playoff game vs KC
Absolutely brutal. But then again, gotta overcome.

He does run hot and cold but given how close the last two Chiefs playoff encounters have been I have to wonder if someone as seemingly inconsequential as Davis might have made a difference if he was on the field. He's a deep threat WR. A guy you throw to when they are trying to stop the run or short passing game. We were trying to throw him the ball 90 times a year when we had no run or short passing game to speak of. I'd rather have him as a back up than Sherfield or some of the other dubs we've had.
Wasn't Davis a STARTER while Sherfield was a backup?

No 9:30am International games. As few 4:00 games as possible because it messes up my 5:00 nap.
Oof. Doesn't look good on either. Many murmurs of Dublin game. And Gramps gonna have to push through a bunch of 4 o'clock games this season, methinks

Watts and Bosas get old fast. Maybe something to do with "training" habits/intensity. Or just the way it goes.

Davis moving on to Jacksonville was addition by subtraction. He and Allen were so rarely on the same page. Which is a shame, because when they were on the same page, they created some explosive magic. No way should he come back. But alas, it's not impossible. They like to get the band back together.

This'n.
Plus, you put on five pounds on a guy his size and it's just not obvious.
At this point, he might be having problems, or he might be right on schedule.
Or he might be a golf enthusiast who trains like a QB rather than a TE.
To be fair, Travis Kelce has never been a weight room guy either. But he's a little bigger and more athletic naturally, and obviously just better. So bad comparison except when you look at physique. Kelce is built like a Serbian basketball star.

It was the NFL GM equivalent of a college basketball coach getting a technical foul to fire up his team.
I'll allow it. Fair enough metaphor.
But that video! First three picks feel like absolute HOME RUNS when you absorb the positive reactions from the players and the org. Got some tingles watching the video. Darn near best case draft haul for first two days.

Beane elaborates on the process of picking Josh Allen
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Swear I overheard Brandon Beane (shortly after he was hired) say he hopes "that Allen kid in Wyoming has a down year so we have a chance at him" when asked by a rich blowhard guest at Tempo about their draft plans at QB. I can see which table Beane was passing as he said this. I trust that memory less and less as time passes (might have been later in Beane's first season on the job, in reference to Allen's pre-draft process/athletic testing), but the memory persists in my rolodex of intimate team official interactions.
I remember being terrified the Bills were targeting the Wrong Josh (Allen) that year (because I'm STUPID) much like I was worried they would pick Landon Jackson at 30 this past draft.
