  1. We are all curious for sure. The WR group  is THE biggest question, with the D being the 2nd. But, this is ONE game. Recall how JA didn't play so good against the Jets last year on game 1? Or the team in the opener vs the Steelers? Or how Kelce and Mark Andrews were near invisible Thursday? 

     

    So yeah. I'm as anxious as any new of you, but RELAX. It's ONE game. Win or lose, this is not the season.

    Rousseau is another one.  If he can avoid any random foot/ankle injuries, he may be in line top end EDGE money. 

    Many OL take a few years to become top tier. But it seems that most pass rushers are great or not from the get go. Maybe not stat wise, but the obvious impact they have. I sure hope he becomes a top edge guy, but does it ever happen that a DE becomes top tier in year 4-5+ when he wasn't before? Oh he's good. Quite good. But not elite.

    He punted one into the end zone that he shouldn't have.

    I really am glad he is finally having a NFL career! It should have been with the Bills and from day 1. But this. His punt was too long. But when it's from that far away, a touchback is not bad IMO. If he does that with shorter punts though then it's an issue. 

  4. BTW what a game last night! Seriously. Crazy good. Including... Lamar ha ha. IMO he played a great game and the fact he missed a wide open guy in the end zone at the end will just add to the polarisation about the guy. BTW I really love how the Ravens had changed their offense completely to suit him. He is both limited in many aspects of a QB and great at what he does well. Hence this thread will be repeated for years to come ha ha. 

    Often, the 1st drive of a team can be super successful but it means little into what happens next. Yet, am I the only one that don't understand why the Ravens didn't continue with that style of power offense, mixing in the threat of a Lamar runs, misdirections and playaction? I mean it was a super close game, obviously, but why drop that?

    I hope Baltimore wins with Derrick Henry getting like 230 yards 2 TDs and Jackson throwing for 130 yards, rushing for no more than 20 yards, no TDs and 2 picks. 

    Oh l like that. In my case, Lamar can rush for more but that's it ha ha.

    My 10 yo imagined half the players wounded, with Mahomes and Lamar gone for the season. Kids can be brutal LOL

    😂😂Is that why the owners are inviting them in? For love of the game?

    You know you can both love the game and want to max out profits. You're a commie or something?

     

    Do you doubt JA17 loves the game? Yet he will negotiate for all the money he can get. As all players do. Or most anyone. Why would the owners not want that? But sometimes short term gains can be detrimental to long term goals! Owners letting these sharks in could backfire for them.

    There is literally a law stopping the NFL from playing on Fridays and Saturdays during high schoolm and college seasons. 

    There is? I thought it was a tradition, and done out of courtesy. I was wrong ha ha.

     

    And as mentioned already, they had lower ratings when starting on Labor Day Weekend, so nope, they won't do it.

    Who is saying that? You can say what you want about McDermott, but his ability to develop safeties and corners is without match in the NFL. He has proven it everywhere he has been, with low draft picks, high draft picks, UDFA's, and free agents. It's the one thing about McDermott that should never be questioned. Does that mean every guy he coaches will be a pro bowler? No, but he gets the most out of them.

    Indeed. Just last years completely decimated yet performing defense should make some people shut up a bit. NAd it really seems the secondary has always been strong since he's here. The valid criticism is that he is very good but not elite. His playoff defenses have been very average, Of course, you face much better teams in the playoffs! But still, that's valid. But the haters are way overboard. I hope he can turn it around like Reid did. Recall how the now multiple SB winning coach was seen as a choker and not good enough just a few years ago....

    Don't be fooled

    Your perceived sentimentality of the league and how it's viewed by the owners is a commodity to be profited from in and of itself

    Please. Billionaire owners are not robots and soulless. Their EGOS are gigantic, so wining matters to them. And to think they have zero love for the game and its history is just jealousy. Sure, some might be like that, especially among some family members, but overall, they care about the product and about the thrills, the ups and downs. They could have found many other ways to invest.

    Private equity firms are all about SHORT TERM profits, at any current or later costs. Hence the danger.

    All I know is Mike White is a hell of alot better than Nick freaking Foles

    IDK how that happened, but Nick Foles had a super hot streak at one time. And yes, that includes a SB win. He performed better than Wentz.

     

    Flacco is a recent example, and of course, Purdy, who was the #3 QB. Brady was 4th QB in the very beginning wasn't he?

     

    But no GM can be expected to predict that happening. Way too rare. 

     

    White has shown his toughness when facing the Bills, that's for sure.

  11. As usual, injuries will matter a lot, and a bit of luck. The team seems a tad weaker but lots of unproven players would be the more appropriate label. It could go in so many different ways that, hey, play the games and let's find out. Odds are not that great though for another 12-13 W season. If it happens, it's be great news as it means the new players are delivering the goods.

    It is well known that McDermott is one of the best at designing disguised coverages (Belichick I think called him "the best" at one point) but you gotta have smart players on the backend to make it go. That is one of the reasons I am far less chilled about safety than some are. Yes, it's just safety.... not a premium spot.... but if you don't have the right guys there in *this scheme* it forces you to be way more vanilla. 

    Seems tome Bills fans do not appreciate how with a McD defense, Poyer and Hyde, there has been next to zero broken coverages in years. No opponents scoring long TDs because of mix ups. The very few times it happened, Poyer and/or Hyde were injured. Yet we see such plays on highlights around the league nearly every week. A "bend but don't break" defense doesn't seem THAT appealing to fans, but it works! Bills have had very few blowout losses too. Almost all losses were close games.

  13. I don't mind the varied takes. I do mind the "Billsy" and choke labels thrown all the time. Go watch some YT videos of epic comebacks/fails and you'll see a LOT of other teams have had crazy heart breaking losses. Of course as Bills fans we don't care much about those ha ha, but to think only the Bills and a few select teams suffer those kind of losses is idiocy. I also dislike fans that find all the faults in the Bills but somehow think highly of other coaches and teams, even when they have similar or worse records! They are like nagging negative wives.

    Now, a Superbowl win would cure everything. It just would. And I hope it happens!

    It's August.  I have no worries in August. Just pure excitement and anticipation.

    I agree with that... until the Milano injury.

     

    Besides his obvious talent and contribution, he is FUN to watch. Sure, I want the Bills to win the SB, like NOW, this year. But who would care if the game was boring. Players like JA and Milano make it thrilling to watch.

    WR talent is so saturated that there isn’t a huge production difference between #1 and #30.

     

    to me, I think that means you can win with mid guys

    Chiefs just proved it. Remember without Tyreek they were supposed to be done? It doesn't mean it's THE winning formula ha ha. But salary cap is just a reality.

    Any time the Bills have a 3rd and 1, I assume they are not going to get it. Doesn't matter where on the field they are. 

    Seems to me that with Josh, 3rd & 14 or 3rd & 7, same thing. His arm strength makes it as doable, and the Bills have been quite agressive in play selection compared to other teams that run the draw play half the time. But for 3rd and short? It seems the OLine hasn't had the push the best OLines have. Yet they have been much better last year IMO.

    Or because Allen’s defense  continues to comes up small in the post season.

    Bills' defense, not Allen's dense ;)

    But yeah. it's bit of a drag that the D has been quite porous come playoff time. Of course, they face much better teams but they have been a weak point.

  17. As a guy from Québec who's been a Bills fan for decades and suffered the drought, I can say most outsiders love... the current winning team. Bandwagon jumpers. Bills ARE popular though. Josh Allen is a big reason why. Entertainment matters! Otherwise we'd be watching the best Paint Drying Watching champions.

    But the fans and the vibe are also a huge plus. Bills fans are great. Miami - and all Florida teams - seem to have crappy fans in all sports. Not very attractive. There was a UFC yesterday in Abu Dhabi and wow was that crowd boring. It matters.

    I think Hill will make more money this season than all of the Bill's WRer's, TE's, and RB's combined.

    For as good as he is, in a salary cap league, it makes no sense. Even as I hate tying it, the Chiefs obviously proved that point! They never came close to replacing Hill, yet won the SB regardless. I prefer the Bills situation to the Fins by far. And Tua is not worth all that cap space. Josh would be, not Tua.

    I don’t get how Miami can be spending this much money on QB and 2 WRs without being in cap hell

    This! I mean, they have the same cap. Impossible it will not affect the other positions.

    Gotta pay off those women for all the bastards he's leaving behind.

     

    He will be bankrupt by the time he's 40 unless he calls up durex or trojan and starts doing adds with him and his 20 kids.

    Of course it's Tyreek him and quite hard to feel any shred of sympathy ha ha. But as MEN, or for anyt women with a sense of fairness, it should NOT be the case that is ever in financial danger because of this. Just quite poorer ha ha. It's ridiculous the payouts for so-called "child support", or to pretend he'll make NFL money forever. Laws make it insane to have kids except for welfare guys. How does that make any sense?
