Bobby Hooks

I had a dream I was eating the worlds largest marshmallow, when I woke up… my pillow was GONE!!!

Who cares? Can we please ignore this guy? You’re just giving him the attention he so desperately wants. Let him fade into obscurity. Dude is a malcontent. He knew what he was doing when he posted this, he knew how it would be taken by Bills fans, and fans gobble it up hook, line, and sinker.

Regular season: 499 yards 7tds (I think he’ll get a lot of red zone opportunities) Playoffs: all bets are off

This is a bit of a stretch. I’m not saying that the guys don’t want to bring a championship to Buffalo very badly, but if they don’t, no one is dying. Their family and loved ones won’t be killed, maimed, or enslaved. Their way of life won’t change as a result. The circumstance pales, but so does the end result. So I don’t think this is a good example.

I do agree that Von’s injury was extremely significant. We went from I think top five pass rush, to mid 20’s. That’s big. But that had been the case for a while. They still stacked W’s. I can’t put it all on the coaching. The team looked like a deer in headlights since the Bengals game. Does coaching play a role? Of course. But if you didn’t see a huge shift in that team at the end of the season, idk what to say. I’m going into this season with renewed spirit, and I’m hoping the Bills do as well. There’s plenty to be excited about. Firstly, the talent. I never in a million years thought this team would actually be more talented than last year. And It appears (at least on paper) they’ve done just that. By a wide margin imo. In almost every position group. Coaching: Mcdermott is running this D now. Last season I’d see Mcd go up to Milano, chat in his ear, and the next play Milano would look like a terror. I’m hoping this continues. Especially with Hyde, and a healthy Tre coming back with the new additions. Dorsey will have his first year under his belt, and finally have that second TE he hoped he’d have in Howard. You’ve got to imagine that will pay dividends in what he had originally planned for this offense. Not to mention a healthy, hopefully much better protected Josh. Also, I’d just like to say, can we get some screens for this offense?! Cook, Hines, the TEs, let’s unleash some screens for crying out loud!!

They barely beat a team with a third string qb. You call that focused and motivated?

Not bad. Kinda wish he did it after the Floyd signing.

Two pics, and he approved them! xoxo, -Top fan

He’s saying he gets buried for negative takes, especially by that guy. And now Tua’s giving his family money and somehow that’s bad because the guy also had negative takes on Simms? It’s silly and definitely distasteful to bring that up now. At the end of the day it’s sports, and the guy may have been negative against Simms, but that was in defense of his favorite qb. Doesn’t really take a rocket scientist to see that of course Tua’s going to donate. The guy was always in Tua’s corner, so now Tua is in his corner. Do I want Simms head on a platter, nah. He’s still human, he’s allowed to have feelings. But he shows a real lack of awareness and humanity here. Could definitely see some form of discipline, and I think that’s appropriate. But I can see this going very poorly because people love the power that comes with canceling people. Especially people that may not look too favorably at your favorite nfl team.

Dang! I thought this was going to be another signing. Never heard of him, but thought, hey i had never heard of a bunch of the guys we signed this year before we signed them.

If the Bills brought in another qb for camp would we just assume Josh Allen isn’t looking good? No dude, it’s depth. Good teams need it. Heck, all teams need it.

I heard that Kincaid was going to be the supercharged Beasley. And I don’t know about everyone else, I would love to get Hopkins, but it’s almost starting to feel unreasonable after all these signings to add him too.

Nah. I couldn’t disagree more with this. Obviously, if you can’t afford to get someone to do it. Then yeah, definitely get in there. But you get a professional to make sure it’s done right, and you’re giving someone some work. I don’t even paint my own deck.

Is that bad? I left a girl at the alter because I found out she was a fan of the team that always faced the globetrotters in the 70’s. They were America’s team! The ball was a flag for crying out loud!

See, this is where you kind of lose me. Signing most guys to a one year deal doesn’t affect building the team for the longer term. Let’s use Poona and Harris as examples. Who could we have signed in place of either of those guys to build the team for the future? Any DTs that have Ford’s upside wasnt signing for what he signed for. In fact he turned down more to come here. Same for Harris, what biggish goal line running back should we have gotten that a.) would contribute as much as he can this coming year, and b.) we wouldn’t have to trade assets or pay up for? The way I see it, Beane is signing these one year guys so that we can stay viable for the future. They come in, perform, and they’re gone. That gives you one more year of high quality play while you evaluate what’s out there for the upcoming draft/free agency. I’d much rather him do it that way than sign a so-so guy that they’re not in love with on a longer term deal. I think that’s how you get yourself in trouble.

If you came into a thread about two camp bodies and thought it would end with a viable wr who would “produce on Sunday”, well that’s more about you than it is the Bills. Do you even watch this team? They’ve drafted and traded for players that barely play.

It’s stuff like this where I can’t understand people still criticizing Beane and the owners. They’re constantly working. They had a good draft, signed Poona, are in on the biggest player left (Hopkins), and still trying to beef up the depth/special teams. They could easily sit back and wait for the season and no one would bat an eye. But they’re still going.

I love when people who are obvious pessimists say they’re “realists.” We’re talking about an excellent football team and all you can talk about is the bad, and what could go wrong. Thats not being a realist, that’s being a pessimist. It’s the actual definition. An actual realist can see the good too, which there is a lot of. Like he said, you may need to re-evaluate. Throw in re-evaluating what a realist is as well. You sir, are not it.

You’re right, they should be absolutely steaming that the Pegula’s have exhausted every avenue (coaches, players, cash, upgrades to the current stadium, new stadium) to bring us a Championship. Good question. What does the Sabres situation (that looks outstanding right now) have to do with anything? also, you didn’t answer his question. What specifically should they be criticized for?

I want Allen to take less punishment, that’s for sure. A better o-line should help with that. Do I want Allen to run less? Kinda. Maybe take out some of the designed runs unless we absolutely need them. But when the play breaks down and he has a hole, I want him to take it. That part of his game is what separates him from the others imo. Dudes a Mac truck truck with moves. Utilize that.

Yeah, I bet that would sound really appealing to him. Go to a juice bar with a rando Bills fan. How do I get in on that invite?

Simple is right. Manning had tons of bites on the apple. He was only facing off with Brady. Allen will be facing off against Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert, and many others. You need luck/breaks too, mainly staying healthy. I think we had a legitimate shot last year if Von didn’t go down. We’ll have a few shots. It’s not a one year make it or break it.

Not sure where all of this overconfidence comes from. I think we can beat them week one, but that team beat us without Rodgers last year. That D alone is worrisome. Garrett Wilson with an actual qb? Bills have their work cut out for them. Not to mention, though I’m mentioning it, we don’t know what Josh will show up.

That’s how I felt about Adam Banks when he left the Hawks for district five.

Can we change the thread title to Neck Tattoo please?
