Hell yeah. I just don't get it. If the Bills were in salary cap hell or about o sign a Clowney... sure. But they weren't. Keep him one more year! Offer a pay cut, but why? If anything, he was exciting and we watch to be entertained. Gore is old, Singleterry unproven, injuries, etc. Makes no sense. Too late now

Is his dad fat? I still recall one of his last interviews while still active, said he couldn't wait to stuff himself silly and not have to train nor maintain his weight when he retired! I mean, dude was dumb but that really stuck with me for some reason LOL I really disliked him back in the day yet could respect his playing skills. Quite a character. This, so far, is a speeding ticket with some weed. Not exactly earth shattering news. I just don't understand how these players risk millions for weed though. Makes no sense.

Pay the man! This way they'll be in salary cap hell for an average QB ha ha

If true, AB sucks. Dude makes millions and won't even pay $7000, a lot for expenses so not even for the trainer's fees but hotels and such? Low class

An NFL backup QB males waaaaayyyy more money than he could do anywhere else. So if he can extend his career one season, that's serious cash, and likely fun as hell too.

Feliciano looked pretty good IMO It's kind of weird that Beane brought in "too many" OLinemen yet the injury bug has made its presence felt already! Better now than later, even though now doesn't mean later won't be there too...

I just saw the 1st quarter (there is a closed thread to a 40 minute video, closed because the link supposed doesn't work... but it does) Allen supposedly had a bad outing? What? He only did 2 series and one pass was called back for a hold, and Jones dropped a TD. Not a bad drop he had the sun in his eyes, but not a bad pass either. Sure Allen threw 2 bad passes but overall I saw the usual good things out of him, and not bad for a 1st preseason game, with Beasly in the mix. You can"t really say WOW nor say he played bad. But all the good things are there, including one first down run. Oliver did look like a force out there! But again, let's slow down here LOL

I actually know a therapist that "cures", well, solves concussions, quickly and pretty much permanently. He has worked with many NHL players... and me! Because of legalities, therapists and order in-fighting, he sadly can't be too public, even though he was featured a few years ago in NHL.com, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia newspapers, as well as some Quebec major TV networks. I sure wished the Bills would give him a try! But their own team therapists might see him as a threat, which is dumb, since he does NOT want to be exclusive to a pro team.

So the dude was a beast as a rookie, and seriously dominant after. I mean, who thought anyone could legitimately make it so obvious to be Defensive Player of the Year over JJ Watt? He really looks like a man playing against boys at times. Yet... he was a complete no show in the Superbowl. Was he injured or Bellichick is really that much of a genius?

I don't usually buy much into the "extra motivation" "chip on shoulders" "us against the world" "get respect" thing... yet really love the Tre'Davious White interview. You can feel the bond between the players, their desire to collectively stick it to the NFL and media. I love it.

I know it's just for fun and all, and indeed good on him for it, but he makes it all look so effortless, like it's a 5 yard pass.

He is very good. But his OLine is better! Some of these guys need reality check. Only the Giants' Saquon Barkley is so damn good he is worth the money and transcends his blockers. For example, I love me some Shady and hopefully he's still got it, but last year with a mediocre OLine he could have been as good as ever the results would have the same dismal ones.

Rex Ryan was a damn buffoon but I fail to see how his skydiving was a detriment or related to the other stuff. If he had been a serious dedicated coach, all his marketing ploys would have been added benefits.

I'm north of the border, in Quebec. I used to see 8-12 Bills games a year on TV, now it's 6-8 and I hate it. Patriots have the lion share. I watch some games online, but yeah, sometimes there are streaming issues, or I miss the first 10-15 minutes till I find the reliable one. I must not be alone to prefer to record the game, start to watch it about 60-80 minutes later. I can skip all the ads and be live by the 4th quarter. Mostly, my kids will watch it with me on TV but not so much if from the web. So I might pay up t his year. I want to see ALL the games. Internet is there though, but it's just not the same. No Bills backer bars in my area or I'd go for sure.

Most NFL players are on PEDs but wow, he SHRUNK!

I thought PFF relied on tons of stats. They don't even mention the new WRs. Seriously? As for the Pats*, I see VERY few people calling them the most talented roster despite their SB wins and constant winning seasons. Better coached, prepared, etc. sure. But the roster? Seems that PFF are as clueless as other "experts". In fact, I hope there is a site ranking these "experts" predictions!

I sure hope Allen makes Ronin eat major crow... if he mans up. As "realists" like him just like to throw out negative stuff all over and rarely change their tunes. Even those of us that are huge Allen fans, and I sure am one, realize he is NOT polished, nor a "finished product", has huge strengths yet also glaring weaknesses, etc. You cherry pick everything. Edmunds was a great analogy as he showed great promise and made awesome plays but he seriously had stretches where he was horrible and picked on as target #1 by the other teams. GROWING PAINS. He was put in a "defense QB" spot at 21, on purpose. Just like all the "eat the dead cap" stuff happened last year, on purpose. Of course Peterman was supposed to take the reins so hard to say the "process" was flawless and trust it fully but we see the reasoning. Like a rookie QB would be so awesome. His progress was amazing last year and that's what he was judged on LAST YEAR. I too wonder if Beasly will be have a great year/be a good fit, as his strength is really Josh's weakness. But if the deep threat opens up the field, it'll open up slot passes so we just don't know. YET WE CAN STILL BE EXCITED. I mean, Allen might not connect with him much, who knows, but it's still better to have Beasly on the team than not! And if it somehow shores up his weakness the better! As huge of fan I am of Josh, I don't think timing throws and short quick passes will ever be his strengths. But he has other tools no other QBs possess. OLine is probably not where it needs to be - but you expected one year to solve all issues? it's exciting that the cap space in 2020 is awesome and even 2021-2022 looking good. Injuries can derail a lot of things. Some players can suddenly grow bad. No pointing them at all as possibilities but Edmunds, Milano, White, Lorax, the WRs, etc. it can happen. Still, last 4 games and offseason acquisitions gave us tons of hope. With a much different vibe than the typical spring ones. This feels like it COULD be the return of the Bills to a dominating force in the coming years, not just a winning season, and that is exciting. And as Boomer Esiason said, Josh is "must see TV", he is exciting and fun to watch, if nothing else. Most "busts" are NOT fun to watch but cringy.

Shady isn't finished; That's ridiculous. Last year, there was no hole to run through, almost ridiculous. It should be way different now with the new OLinemen. The coaches must know if he's lost a step in practice. All else is wasted talk. I get that he eats a lot of t he cap but besides that, play the man! With Gore it's gonna be a dynamic duo. And both can pass block and catch as receivers too. And... injuries happen.

I'm glad I'm not the only one irked at the no one cares that you have a family to provide for Dude made MILLIONS and yet feels the victim here? NFL is a results based league. Your results suck, bye bye.

Josh IS the prime reason, and it's crazy how important the QB position is. Even when you "know it", things change so much for the better when you feel you have that elite guy, at last. BUT, you still got to surround him. Recall the fear with a "project QB" like Josh was that McD had no track record of growing young QBs nor anyone on the staff, he was a defensive minded coach, and on and on. Yet they've coached him very well so far, DA was a great addition for him, and quite clear the greater majority of what Beane (and McD surely) have been doing this offseason is to surround Josh for his particular skill set. Daboll flexible and intelligent to work around his and the players' strengths. They get it. They get that their own jobs are guaranteed for years if Allen is the real deal, that it's the #1 way to win. And THAT gives me and a lot of people deep rooted hope, it's not just Josh. It's setting him up for success. Not everybody can be a #1 pick like Mayfield and get surrounded with such talent from the get go! He too has superstar written all over him but no doubt he won out the lottery ha ha.

Indeed! Superbowl-bound among the favorites? Nope, not yet. But winning season, playoffs? Totally doable THIS year, for sure! Of course, injuries, bad luck, sub par season by a few key players, all that can derail the wagon, and it's not a do or die season. But perfectly fine to aim for the playoffs. Too many defeatists people, and too many think since it was 6-10 last year, well 8-8 is good. Was it fine to settle for 6-10 after a playoff game just the year before? Teams go 6-10 to 10-6 all the time. Bills can do it too. And if Allen pans out, with the way many of the contracts are structured to free up money in 2021 and 2022, lots of cap space again in 2020, all the additions this year, Josh looking like the real deal, it's not pure hope but realistic hope to dream of a winning season NOW and being among the top teams in the coming years!

Well I have a huge man crush on the guy LOL. Crazy. He's like my 4th kid in my mind ha ha.

Great interview. Anyone else but me is surprised that it's DA and Matt that showed him to change the foot that was forward? Think of all the coaches, including Jordan Palmer, that he's had! I like how he always gives credit, shows humbleness while at the same time having supreme confidence, he's the real deal, period. And what an arm!

Pretty much. And it's likely the FANS that have written him off, not the coaches or teammates. If he brings good pressure on one side, Hughes on the other (with refs actually calling some of the blatant holds against him), Oliver happens to be the real deal... that could be fun LOL Yes spring brings hope eternal, but why not. Milano and Edwards would be free to roam and spread havoc, secondary would get major help. And overall, the defense should really benefit of the offense's improvements too! This season could be very fun. But not only Murphy but the whole team can be derailed by injuries...

Of course. But as a HC, his job is to get the most out of the team he has. And BTW I love the fact Beane and McD are truly on the same page
