Let me go find the Tremaine Edmunds thread lol

‘Don’t try peeing at halftime’ My season tickets are in the 300’s and I never thought until the end of the year to go to the bathroom at the top of the bleachers rather than in the hallways. Cuts the wait time by more than half. EDIT: Does anyone know where the thread is with the google doc with everything to do around Buffalo? I can’t seem to find it 🤔

Nowwwww there’s 6 more sleeps

TNF has loads of potential with Al & Herbstreit in the booth, and then Fitzy and Sherman on the same panel for the pregame/halftime/postgame I’m actually pretty excited for how TNF looks and sounds

GAAAAMEEEEE WEEEEEKKKKKK! Let’s go, only 6 more sleeps!

Not saying this is the case yet, but just imagine if he’s innocent — especially if it were to be a scenario where it turns out to be a cash grab or something like that — the amount of shame that should and reasonably would be cast on all the Bills fans that are trying to ruin a young man’s career without proof of anything yet

After all of this slander on something with 0 concrete evidence available to the public yet, I will 100% be buying his jersey and supporting him as a Bill as strongly as I can IF he’s proven innocent

Another thread on the most polarizing guy in Buffalo 🤯 I tried to search but the top 3 thread results were all locked so, I don’t know merge this with another one if there’s an active one I missed? What are we predicting for Edmunds in 2022? Get your thoughts on record now! Stats are hard for linebackers (and defensive players in general) so I’ll steer clear of hard stat predictions, but I’m definitely in the breakout bandwagon. A stud that completely locks down the middle of the field and leads a top 5 defense. Dare I say, all-pro? I’m hoping Beane resigns him before the regular season starts to something like 4yr/$60M before the price skyrockets to 5yr/$85M after he cements himself as a top 5 linebacker in the league. What does TBD predict for Edmunds in 2022? Get your future bragging rights — and cold takes — on paper now before the season starts!

This is such a boring antiquated take ”Urrrr, back in my day ...” It’s not your day anymore 😭

Assuming that 166 people voted — based off of Allen’s 166 votes at this point — I’m very surprised that even 3 people would leave Diggs off the list. I would say he’s as much of a lock as Allen is. 2021: 103 rec, 1,225 yards, 10 TD 2020: 127 rec, 1,535 yards, 8 TD I’m not sure what else he could do to be considered an elite NFL WR

I didn’t have Von on there just because he wasn’t in a Bills uniform last year, I was thinking of guys that played for us As for Josh not being top 40 🤯 The list is definitely a popularity contest and not the end all be all, but it’s not that wildly inaccurate. I actually put a little stock into it because it’s the players opinions. Calling it a popularity contest and saying Poyer and Hyde won’t make it because of that, I can see that point and it makes sense. But being so down on it that you think Allen doesn’t make the top 40? You gotta give it a little more credit than that

The offseason has hit it’s slow point so I was looking for some content and looked up when the NFL Top 100 came out, and turns out we get nothing until training camp starts because the list didn’t come out until late August last year Anyways, it got me thinking — what Bills make it this year? IMO, Allen and Diggs are obviously locks and I think Poyer is as close to a lock as you can get. After that I’d go to say Hyde should make it and probably will. I don’t think Knox will, he had a great year but was really bolstered by touchdowns and big plays in big moments. I also think Tre is more than deserving but his injury will probably cost him to be left off the list. I’m a big Edmunds fan myself and see a breakout year incoming, but I don’t think he deserves to make it quite yet. That being said, players and execs around the league love him and I think he might sneak onto the list. All in all, I would vote myself that Allen, Diggs, Poyer, Hyde and Edmunds make the list in that order. I think Tre is deserving but doesn’t end up making it due to injury, and I don’t think Knox should or will make the list, but wouldn’t be surprised to see him sneak into the 80’s/90’s on the list. What’s TBD say, who makes the list and why?

I agree with most of it, seems pretty accurate. Just a couple I would change — - Keenum to blue - Moss to blue - Quessenbury to red - Phillips to blue I see a possibility that from a familiarity standpoint the Bills like Barkley more than Keenum throughout camp. It was only a 7th spent on Keenum. I think it’s likely than Keenum is the guy on the roster, but just not ready to call it a lock yet. I’m not a fan of Zack Moss whatsoever, however just 2 years removed from spending a 3rd rounder on him, combined with this being Singletary’s last year on contract, I think it’s far more likely we see him ride the inactive list all year than it is he gets cut. Not much of my own research, especially as I could be much better at assessing OL play than I am, but I’ve seen a lot on Twitter about Quessenbury was not a strong starter at all. Sort of like Bobby Hart a few years ago where he had all these games started but it turns out they were atrocious performances. I think you can move him to red and out of that long list of red guys in the OL category expect 1 or maybe 2 of them to make the roster. The defensive line depth is loaded this year, I’d call Phillips probable to make the roster but a lock this early in the offseason is a stretch IMO. He signed pretty late in the offseason and we’ve bolstered our UDFA depth at DT. I’d assume he makes the roster, but not at a ‘roster lock’ level yet. Good work @GunnerBill 🍻

For what’s its worth my buddy who works in the Bills ticket office is saying ‘Ravens are a twitter leak’ and we’ll have ‘sore thanksgiving kneecaps’ (a reference to dan campbell’s opening press conference, implying that we’re playing Lions on Thanksgiving)

Watched the highlights from last years with this news dropping Couple of notes .. 1 - The defensive line came so close so many times, can’t wait to watch the impact Von Miller has in games like these where they just can’t quite finish despite constant pressure 2 - Cole Beasley is going to be sorely missed despite what most of Bills Mafia wants to think 2B - The 2022 offense is still going to need one more consistent weapon to match the ‘21 firepower. Hopefully the turns out to be Shakir, if not they’re going to take a step back 3 - I forgot about both the Micah Hyde to Julio Jones helmet catch and the Isaiah McKenzie called back return in this game 4 - Feliciano got absolutely blown up on that QB sneak, I was a Feliciano fan and didn’t want to replace him in the lineup at first but Bates has certainly been an upgrade

Calvin Austin Not necessarily a ‘my guy’ but I wanted WR to be addressed by the end of Day 2, if not in the first round. I also have wanted to see substantially more speed added to the offense both of the past two off seasons. Therefor, I guess that makes Calvin Austin a ‘my guy’? I think he’s overall too small and not long enough to really make any true impact, but he’s still on the board and he addresses what I’m hoping gets addressed so I’d like to throw a day 3 dart at him

In the KC game Diggs, Sanders, Knox and Beasley we’re likely all of more concern to the Chiefs defensive game plan. He had less focus on him and rightly so, but now that list shortens to just Diggs. Davis is now a focal point of the opposing defense and will have to improve to continue to perform. I’m not saying that he can’t do so, just that we had the assets to add another skilled WR to take off some pressure instead of thrusting him into that role and my personal preference would’ve been to use those assets in that way. I hope Davis continues to progress and fill that role, and I think it’s certainly possible, but I do see a realistic route where the offensive production gets hurt by not adding another top skilled receiver.

Only saw the highlights shown on TV last night and haven’t done much research, but between the highlights, measurables and his testing, it seems like this guy might be in the safety replacement conversation

The offense is good, but we needed a #2 WR in my opinion. Gabe Davis has progressed tremendously and had a crazy postseason, but were relying on a guy jumping from the 5th option to the 2nd and producing at not only the same pace, but a better pace. He’s a great player and there’s going to be people that read this as me saying he’s not good, but I think WR needed someone just a little more talented to fill in the #2 spot while Davis continued to progress and grow. Hopefully I’m proven wrong 🤷‍♂️

and the season and offseason before and the one before ever since he was drafted at only 19 years of age really

The actual interview is much different from how this thread is painting it if you give it a listen.. I wouldn’t exactly call this a ‘leak’ or any sort of major news drop, Sal has this guy on WGR every year around this time to talk about the schedule. The NFL didn’t ‘add’ 3 games on Christmas to try and compete with the NBA, Christmas just so happens to be on a Sunday. They’re actually moving the games from Sunday (Christmas) to Saturday (Christmas Eve). Because Christmas fell on a Sunday, when the games are typically played, they’re going to have 3 games that day. By no means is this now a yearly thing the NFL is adding. Also, to imply this was ‘leaked’ on WGR seems wrong in context of the interview Sal had. He simply asked the guy about the NFL’s plans since Christmas was on a Sunday, and North answered with what the plans were. I don’t think this has any tie or relation to the probability of the Bills playing Christmas. With that said, it would make sense for the Bills to get a home game. They’re one of the biggest draws for primetime now as it is, and add in the Buffalo element and hope that you get on a snow game on Christmas. Makes sense to me.

It’s unfortunate the amount of mockery and sarcasm that both of the schedule threads are being flooded with While not the biggest group of people, there are certainly more than a few here that actually enjoy discussing the schedule and how it lines up, myself included Feels like it’s not even worth speculating in either of these threads as people would just mock it 🤦‍♂️

I didn’t see her say all that was quoted but I did see a tweet that was deleted, forgot what it said but the overall sentiment was that they’re (she’s) not happy

Between the contracts and money handed out this offseason, Poyer changing agents and very polarizing opinions on Edmunds this is starting to become a pretty hot topic on Twitter. Right now according to Over The Cap, the Bills are projected to have around $21,868,000 in 2023 Cap Space. With that cap space, Jordan Poyer, Tremaine Edmunds, Ed Oliver, Dawson Knox and Devin Singletary will all be due extensions. The Spotrac market value numbers are as follows, Jordan Poyer: 2yrs/$23M Tremaine Edmunds: 4yrs/$55M Dawson Knox: 3yrs/$25M Ed Oliver: $10M-$15M per year Devin Singletary: $4M-$8M per year Oliver & Singletary didn’t have market values yet, so just rough guesstimates for them two. With that being said, Beane can easily clear more space next year by restructuring bonuses for Allen, Miller and Diggs, among the other magic he works. Assuming Beane can only extend 3 of these guys, as that seems like the logical number with the projected cap space and cap hits, who does TBD think it would be? My own take, and I suppose part of the motivation in creating this thread, would be a hot take for most in that Edmunds gets his extension before/rather than Knox getting an extension. I think Ed Oliver is the only lock on the list for the extension and Beane has come close to saying so himself. As for Poyer, I think he’s an integral part of the defense and there’s only noise right now because he switched his agent (and a particularly noisy sidekick acting as she does). He’s coming off of an all-pro year, and a $12M/year contract on a short term deal shouldn’t price Beane out of a top 3 safety tandem in the league. As for Edmunds, I’m an Edmunds truther (apologist?). Believe it or not, he’s only 23 years old going into his 5th season! 😆 But jokes aside, NFL execs love him for a reason. He’s fast, lengthy and just starting to come into his own. If Beane could make the numbers for Knox work, I’m not here to say that Knox won’t get extended. But with the Bills projected to be tight to the cap, I just don’t see how Knox works in with the numbers. In my scenario, between Poyer, Edmunds and Oliver you’re looking at about $35M-$40M of extension money and maybe more. Knox had a good development year, but it was just that, a good development year. I think fans have taken a 9 TD season and some big plays in big moments, and started to convince themselves he’s a cornerstone and vital piece of the offense. In reality, he only had 49 receptions (18th among TE’s) and 587 yards (15th). He’s just an average tight end in a WR-driven offense. What say you, TBD?

Early to mid 20’s now, so all I knew was the drought and the recent success. Granted I live right in the heart of Bills Country, 5 minutes from the stadium and was born to a diehard Bills family, but if anything the lack of success made me that much more of a Bills fan during the drought because you wanted to see the success so badly. As good as we are now with big wins and playoff trips every year, nothing will be as memorable as the Tyler Boyd catch and playoff berth for me. I don’t think any Bills moment will top that until a Super Bowl, after watching for my entire life and never making the playoffs (aside from when I was 2 or 3 years old) that was just the sweetest moment. So if anything, on the contrary to the Super Bowl era fans and the success maybe drawing you guys in more, as a drought era fan I think the lack of success made me a bigger fan because you wanted the playoffs so bad every year.
