  1. Who says defense is no longer relevant? They won that game for us. 4 turnovers and a safety as well as a pick 6, plus all the time they spent on the firls in the first 3 quarters because the offense couldn't do squat and they still came out on top. Like I've been saying for a while, it will take time for this offense to gel. I'm hoping that 3 quarters is enough. Any win is still a win, but a comeback on the road against a division rival is especially sweet.
  2. Yeah. The Jets suck, OP. Hope you enjoyed your laugh. Who's laughing now?
  3. OOPS! That one was on Beasley.
  4. Get ready to be laughed off this message board. Sorry your cousin wasted his money and your time.
  5. Oh no! A terrorist fist jab!
  6. ...and a 6 pack to wash it down and help you celebrate (I hope).
  7. I'm excited too. I have this feeling that it may take this offense a while to meld, but if Allen can make a big step, it will be worth the wait. I also think people tend to underrate the Jets front 7. They will be very good under Greg Williams' tutelage. Don't expect Singletary to bust loose week one and man do I ever hope I'm wrong about that. I'm also concerned about Edmunds and Oliver. How big of a jump can Edmunds make? How long until Oliver hits stride? I guess I've just learned to taper my expectations over the last 59 years to numb some of the pain, but I really do believe the Pegulas are committed and will spend what it takes to keep the right GM and HC in place once they find them. The facilities at OBD are as good as any in the NFL. I just hope they have the right people in the right places this time around. I'm not getting any younger and I well remember how disappointed my father was before he passed away that the Bills never won a SB and were usually in the tank. Show me that I'm wrong, Bills. Show me that it's time to believe again and not just because you say so. I want to see it on the scoreboard, in the standings and in the playoffs. I'm tired of my team, being the laughing stock of the league. And despite my pessimism, I'm still on pins and needles. What will this rebuild produce? Will it be the one we've been waiting for or will we be disappointed again? Is Allen the real deal or will his inaccuracy be his downfall? Too many questions! Let's start answering them already!
  8. I expect the O to struggle right out of the gate. I think the Jets D will be solid, especially up front. Greg Williams' blitzes will keep Josh Allen on the run. Better days are ahead, though.
  9. This is great news! He owned up to last season long ago and has now impressed his new teamates with his renewed commitment and work ethic. Look for him to raise his game in 2019. That said, I think there could be some early struggles on the OL due to all the new faces there and all the shuffling and injuries that prevented working the starting 5 together much. Josh Allen was the other captain on offense. Lo and Edmunds were elected on D. Hauschka and Reid Ferguson on ST.
  10. I liked the team's original name -- Bisons. I've never cared for "Bills" even though this will always be my team. I'd like to see new new unis too -- Beige, brown (trim) and a copper bison head on the helmet.
  11. We all assume that there are better punters out there than what we already have, but why make that assumption when you really don't know? If someone better was available, there's no reason to believe they wouldn't sign him.
  12. Well, Nsekhe and Feliciano are career backups, but maybe they'll both be OK. The rest of the OL is near average, depending on how Ford pans out. In either case, that's still a big improvement.
  13. I just hope Ed Oliver is ready. I know L Bell will be. Also, Bills fans seem to have forgotten that Darnold isn't a rookie any more either. I predict a solid game for Q Williams and Jerry Hughes, who will be keen to show that he can still be disruptive.
  14. A great player and a class act. He's going to have a big year and he deserves it and then some. If the Bills can't hoist the Lombardi Trophy, I'll be rooting for Shady.
  15. Wade and Williams (if we can). I think Williams has played himself onto someone's 53 man roster, but he'll have to learn a new playbook, so he won't be on the field for a while. Those are the 2 obvious misses on the 53 man roster. I don't know why they kept so many OL and TE's other than trade bait, but what can they possibly expect from guys like Boettger and McDermott? I could see someone giving up a 7th round pick for Croom, though. Other than Wade and Williams, I don't really care. I doubt it will make much difference anyways.
  16. He had a great rookie year, but hasn't done squat since other than find a spot on a very weak LB corps. On top of that, he's a real jerk and a cheap shot artist. No thanks. He doesn't fit the culture they are trying to create and I wouldn't cheer for him even if he was a Bill again. No thanks Kiko.
  17. Well the article says "4" and lists 3 more below his pic. I think this is a good list. I'd add Croom too. We have 5 TE's and 9 OL. Obviously we aren't keeping all of them. Bojo is just plain awful. They've GOT to be able to find a better punter. I just can't believe it hasn't already happened. We have the worst punter in the NFL.
  18. Don't be surprised if it doesn't all come together that quickly. I expect to see gradual improvement as the season progresses. I'm also still very much concerned about the O:, particularly the G position. Spain is the only good G on the roster unless they play Ford at RG. They basically signed an above avg C (Morse), an avg G (Spain) and drafted Ford. If Ford plays G, that will help the interior, but then Nsekhe will play RT and I don't think that's a great situation. Nsekhe is just a backup caliber player, IMO. I'm very excited about both of our rookie TE's, though. In a couple years, we could be seeing an awful lot of those guys. I'm also really excited about Singletary. He must have looked a lot better in camp than he did in preseason for them to release McCoy. Singletary played well in the preseason, but he wasn't all that. Let's see how he does when the games count.
  19. We got nada in the star power department. Beane says FA is for filling holes, so obviously he's looking for those guys on draft day. Maybe in another year or so. Let's hope. I'm getting tired of the Bills being mediocre.
  20. I think LeSean can still play, but Singletary obviously showed them that they don't need McCoy and he's a lot cheaper. There's no doubt several teams will be interested. Would Shady sign with a team that already has an established starter? I kinda doubt it because I think he can still be a #1 RB and be very good. He'd like to play in PA, I'd wager, but he'd probably be behind Conner in Pittsburgh. I'm not sure about Philly. I also don't know everyone's cap situation. Put you top guess down and then maybe I'll run a poll with the top handful of choices that I see.
  21. The only way I stop rooting for this team is: 1. I'm dead, or 2. They move the team to another city.
  22. The Bucs signed Vinny Testaverde LOL. He's baaaaaaaaaaack! J/K * Scroll to very bottom of page in the link.
  23. I'm happy even for the players that played well, but won't make the roster. They still helped themselves and I think guys like Marcus Murphy and Eddie Yarbrough and some of the younger players on our preseason roster will soon turn up on someone's roster for the regular season. Good for them. They earned it. Now about upgrading that Punter position.
  24. I never hated him like some posters do. I thought he had real potential. Well, the coaches see him more than any of us, so I'll trust their judgement. As far as the trade goes, it was good, but nothing special. We got the pick back that we used on him and swapped a 6th and 7th. Good, but not as outrageous as some seem to think. I still think Cleveland could get the best of this deal in time, but only time will tell with Teller.
  25. I see a lot of you want him gone and I get that. He's no probowler any more. Still, what NFL team has anyone better. Sure, there are a handful, but there are also a lot more FB's that aren't as good. He's certainly not the worst by a fair margin. I also think people might falsely assume that any TE can just step in and do what they are asking DiMarco to do. I don't know that there is anyone better available. I don't think the fact that he isn't playing in the last preseason game really indicates anything, but I expect he'll make the final 53. What do you think? Should he make it or not?
