I'm 70 years old. I suffered through the Bills going 0 for the 1970s against the Carp, the misery of the post-Chuck Knox 1980s, 4 Super Bowls losses, 20 years of being New England's b!tch ... I will feel at least as good as any Chiefs fan felt last February, and probably better!
I'm with you, my friend. I was at the game at then Rich Stadium with my dad in 1980 that broke the drought against the fins. What was remarkable about it was we all stayed in our seats for about 20 minutes after the game, just in a state of shock, joy and disbelief. The 20 game losing streak was over. They tore down the field goal posts as if we had won the Super Bowl.

Cut down is right around the corner and if Beane is going to try to trade a player (or two) it will be in the next few days.
The only position I can see that the Bills might want some more depth might be CB.(Just signed Brian Allen)!There definitely are going to be some players cut that won't make it to our PS. Will Beane get a pick or two?
Maybe a team needing a WR or DL help would do a trade? If so, what players do you think Beane could try to make available?
Having had that amazing second half of his UDFA rookie season, Robert Foster might have some trade value for a team looking for a high ceiling WR who showed great potential only to experience a sophomore slump.

So a 2x Pro Bowl Safety gets $14.75M/year, and that's about what we think we'll have to pay to keep Milano?
Is Milano = Budda Baker?
Among premier NFL safeties, soon to be eclipsed by Jamal Adams' new contract when the Seahawks extend him.

Moss is a tough workhorse back. He'll play the role of Frank Gore, but much more effectively. Singletary is the shifty guy who can get to the second level and has a nose for space. Only thing we are missing is a homerun hitter.
I know he is incredibly raw not having played a single NFL regular season game, but based on the sneak preview we got last preseason, Christian Wade could be that homerun hitter.

That year and '85 were the low point of the franchise, imo. Pat McGroder's W-o-F ceremony where Ralph was booed by a sparse, socially distanced, angry crowd and Pat tried to defend him was the emotional bottom.
Hahahahaha! That was indeed rock bottom. Loved the "socially distanced" crowd reference, Jesseffer!

Hate when any player goes down with an injury. But when the inevitable happens, I always wish it on this team and more so the owner. That guy's a giant sleazeball and I literally root as hard for him to lose as I do for the Bills to win.
Cowboys were always the team I most despised. The whole "America's team" slogan revolted me. When Jerruh came along, the intensity of that contempt only multiplied. And then something happened called the Cheatriots. Ever since the rise of the hoodie, the 'Boys have fallen to a distant #2 on my hate list.

Yea. Have to figure out who to prioritize, but I it's too early to say on Josh. This year will determine that, IMO.
I agree though. They are going to have to let some guys walk and Milano seems like one they will.
Agreed on Josh. May also be too early to say on Tremaine and Oliver. For Josh and those two guys, I'm going on raw talent and potential ceiling. Milano, while a nice find in the 5th round, just isn't in the same category.

That’s not even in the neighborhood of what he’s going to get. He will be WAY closer to 4-60 than 4-30.
Sweet Jesus, if this is even close to what he's looking for, for the love of God let him walk. You can only pay a limited number of guys elite money and for me those guys are: 1) Tre'Day, 2) Tremaine and probably 3)Ed Oliver on D; 4) Josh, 5) Dion and 6) Ya DIgg on Offense. If you give an undersized LB $15 million per, I guarantee you one of the above mentioned 6 players cannot be re-signed.

He was the moment. More so than Andy Dalton's pass or drafting Josh Allen or even the Pegulas buying the team.
The moment this franchise hired Sean McDermott was the moment everything changed. I lobbied for us to fire Rex a year earlier to hire McDermott. I loved the hire when it came and I love the extension. He is the reason we are relevant again.
Agreed 100%.

The atmosphere around the league will stink. I wonder if the NFL could do as well a job as the NHL in keeping some sort of atmosphere at the game. NHL doing a great job with the crowd noise and the visuals at the arena.
Besides all that, we lost 4 games at home last season, I know the fans love to praise themselves endlessly, but they don't have as much an impact as many think. The better team usually wins.
The NBA has surpassed all my expectations by pumping fan noise into the arena and wigth the virtual fans "Zooming" in to the games, it has almost had a real "home" game feel. Much, much better than the cardboard cutout fans that I've seen in MLB. Would be awesome if the NFL could do something similar but I haven't heard any word about it.

Ah....2x probowler, back to back 1000+ yd seasons, pushing 80% catch % with <2% drops - SF trades Kittle for Croom only in a Bills fans wildest wet fantasies.
You're right, it's probably not Kelly Pegula holding that trade back. John Lynch would be fired in a New York minute were he to fall for that fleecing.

Jason Croom for George Kittle straight up. Imagine him and Knox together. That's what dreams are made of
You and I (and most Bills fans) would love this but unfortunately Kelly Pegula won't let it happen.

He looks like a monster. Imagine seeing him across the LOS
People on the site always say, "Pic or it didn't happen" so here goes. This was taken last year before the season opener. All I can say is that I felt Lilliputian standing next to him. Awesome dude. His parents sit right behind my buddies' season tickets in section 130 when they attend.

First, your obsession with Jim Jordan is remarkable, but it's also tedious and boring in a conversation about Anthony Fauci.
Second, your characterization of Dr. Fauci's role in pandemic management reflects an overly simplistic view of what he does. He's been talking about the picture--big and small--for nearly six months. He's done it at task force meetings, in interviews and published papers about it. You criticized me for including a copy of his biography, and then go on to suggest he's not involved in prevention? Like it or not, he offers his opinions regularly about how to slow the spread of the virus.
The point you made--the one good one--about politicians not leading, that's true. Dr. Fauci had the opportunity to step into that void and speak to science. You think that's too much to ask. I don't. Honestly, your comments painted a slightly more vivid picture of the potential for disaster than did Fauci's when you stated: Which does indeed show that that kind of dangerous behavior ... dangerous behavior which includes both the demonstrations and the things that you and Jordan happen to support and therefore don't want mentioned in this context ... are indeed raising the odds of a continuing increase. Again, the way this virus spreads, I'd think you could eliminate "raising the odds" and replace it with "are certain ti result in a spike in infections and deaths.".
In closing, I'm not sure what you're implying when you're talking about 'my political beliefs' and 'the things that you and Jordan happen to support'. I'd normally ask what you think you know, but we're going around in circles so I'll tell you what my actions are relative to COVID:
I distance, I avoid large crowds, I wash my hands frequently, I kept my team employed when asked, I donated to COVID relief efforts, I believe the virus is very dangerous for some and quiet a bit less so for most, I cancelled trips, I avoid those most vulnerable when I know of their situation. I think political leaders are all over the page, I think it creates mass confusion and when our leaders say one thing and do another, or assign one set of values to the compliant and support the non-compliant, it's 100% natural that people begin to think something funny is afoot. They question leadership, begin to feel there's something politically wonky afoot, and let their guard down.
I support the right to peaceful protest, I understand some of the concerns the peaceful protestors are expressing, but I'm absolutely convinced that there is a gaping chasm between what we are being told and in most cases forced to do v. what our political leaders are saying about both the largely peaceful demonstrations and the violent rioting occurring at the same time. I can't square that, especially from a guy like Fauci, who plays a major role in pandemic management.
But, on the bright side, we'll always have Brimley.
It's not Dr. Fauci's role to "lead"; he is charged with advising, with making recommendations based on the science. What is a public health issue has become politicized and the entire nation is suffering because of this. We are far from being the world model to be emulated when it comes to controlling the spread of the virus and Anthony Fauci is hardly the problem. Politicians failing to lead are the problem.

The NBA has shown us the blueprint what to do, and the MLB is showing us what NOT to do.
My guess for the NFL season is they will do divisional bubbles. 8 cities. 8 winners. Then a conference bubble with 4 teams in each, and finally the Super Bowl bubble.
I would assume in the divisional round each team plays each other twice, then single elimination as usual.
As far as location, I found an article stating where each one should be held:
https://clutchpoints.com/if-the-nfl-bubble-for-each-division-which-8-cities-would-make-most-sense/
SHOULD IT GO THIS WAY:
AFC EAST: Buffalo Bills - the Pats have enough players who opted out to give us the edge and a minimum split of 1/1
AFC WEST: KC Chiefs
AFC NORTH: Baltimore Ravens
AFC SOUTH: Indianapolis Colts - veteran presence of Rivers gives them the wild card factor of stealing a division
NFC EAST: Dallas Cowboys
NFC WEST: Seattle Seahawks
NFC NORTH: Minnesotta Vikings
NFC SOUTH: Atlanta Falcons
AFC:
Bills over Colts
Ravens over Chiefs
Bills over Ravens
NFC:
Cowboys over Falcons
Seahawks over Vikings
Cowboys over Seahawks
SUPER BOWL "DALLAS IS GOING DOWN GARY" - in true pandemic fashion to top off a crazy year, the Bills and Cowboys face off in what is sure to be weeks long of jokes regarding how teams that were so heavily made fun of over the years make a super bowl during a pandemic. Good news for us? Josh Allen comes to play vs Dallas.
Bills over Cowboys
As Bills fans we get our super bowl win however everyone we know who is not a fan says it's a *** year because of the pandemic and format. Josh Allen's erratic playing style ends up being the recipe to grind wins through this odd season.
GO BILLS!
I love the creative thinking and love even more how Buffalo would be designated as one of the host cities. Totally agree that the NBA is the league to be emulated too.

For the record, I think Fauci has been doing exactly what he should be doing... giving scientific/medical advice on an infectious disease.He’s not an economist, nor a politician and one side demonizes him for that, while the other side weaponizes what he says.
However, my opinion of him definitely changed a bit after that exchange.
Jim Jordan had Fauci admit that COVID was transmitted and spread during the protests. Jordan then asked Fauci if the government should recommend shutting down the protests (like they have businesses, churches, family gatherings, funerals etc..) and Fauci couldn’t do it.
You’re either apolitical or you’re not, and in that exchange I saw a guy who is letting his political views cloud his medical judgment.
Im not for shutting down protests, but I also am not an infectious disease expert who’s been making recommendations all over the place on everything that spreads COVID should be shut down.
Fair assessment; I hear you. I guess where he would have crossed the line for me is had he said no to shut downs of indoor protests, then yes, clearly that would indicate political bias affecting his epidemiological objectivity.

Fauci had a real bad look in the exchange with Jim Jordan yesterday.
Im 100% for the protests, as I am people being able to open their businesses. However when Fauci picks and chooses who he will recommend shut down (churches, businesses etc) and can’t bring himself to say the massive gatherings of millions of people in the streets shouldn’t be shut down....well, that’s when you lose credibility with people like me, and further drive home the reasoning for why certain people didn’t trust him to begin with.
I didn't see the exchange but I'm guessing Fauci's point was that the protests were outdoors (where the risk of transmission is said to be 1/20th what it is indoors), hence the higher risk of church gatherings, bars, restaurants, etc.

I wonder how many coaches and or players (OL in particular) will wind up on ventilators or just plain DEAD before some fans will start taking this virus seriously and give it the respect it deserves. This is a PANDEMIC we are faced with - NOT the effin common cold! We are all football fans but cmon these players are HUMAN BEINGS. Just because they play professional sports does not make them (or any of us for that matter) invincible....
Dayum...and I thought getting Covid-19 was just like a mild case of the sniffles...

Yolo!! Watching the NBA restart tonight (LAL vs LAC). Really, really impressed with Ed Oliver matching up against Anthony Davis and Lebron, 2 of the top 5 players in the world. Shows what a tremendous athlete and how versatile he is.

If you're talking about people being vocally racist, I agree. That is a very small minority.
But how many times has something like this happened to you (watch the whole video):
I can say nothing like that has ever happened to me. I was pulled over many times in my early 20s because admittedly I was a habitual speeder and I rolled through stop signs. But I never had an encounter like that.
There are plenty of other videos out there with similar encounters. I would encourage you to watch them. This is a normal experience for a certain demographic in this country and I was blind to it until a few years ago. It is something I never thought about, like the first time I learned that cat calling was a real thing. Privilege is not always about the experiences you have, it's also about the experiences you avoid.
By the way I don't know if the cop in the above video is an outright racist but I am sure he has biases like everyone else and I don't doubt that those biases influenced his decision to pull this man over.
Outrageous.

This is terrific! No suspension looming for Ed. Our QB is improving every day. All areas of our team are better and deeper than they've been in years. Our front office and coaching staff are among the best in the league.
Now I'm sure there'll be no season!!
Haha, right on fellow long-suffering Bills brethren! You did neglect to mention however another positive: no Tom Brady in the division!

That's awesome; I will definitely look for the book and undoubtedly wax nostalgic while reading it. Incidentally, that brings back another memory. I recall my high school English teacher having a coffee mug with the inscription "Some of us are talking proudLY!" I guess you would expect an English instructor to be part of the grammar police!
