The Red King

This is why culture is more then just a buzzword. Cleveland has done a great job at assembling talented rosters, but things seem to fall apart at the seams every year. This offseason has, and continues to be, a major distraction for them.

I mean at this point does it matter? He's gone. He's not coming back and was as diplomatic as possible in saying so. There's no need to keep hammering on the guy. I thank him for his time here and wish him the best going forward unless that somehow gets in our way.

OMG people. Read the comments and stop complaining about the stripes. Allen just took a decal set meant for the white helmet and slapped it on a red helmet instead. That's why there are no white stripes. He mocked up a red helmet. Nothing more, nothing less. This isn't a prototype or sneak peek. It was something he kitbashed together.

I think Josh might be forcing the issue. By pulling this stunt the cat's out of the bag. It's also a very sneaky way for the Bills to gauge interest in the red helmets. As already noted, the red jersey is simply the "no touchy the QB" practice jersey. And the stripes are the ones normally placed on the white helmet, one reason I think Allen slapped together.

My dad used to tell me it was because at the time all the AFC East teams had white helmets and Ferguson complained he couldn't find his receivers. They changed to red to make it easier for him.

Too low, but lack of evidence is a problem. We can't go on gut feeling and what we "know", no matter how much we want to. This ruling makes me sick, and despite what I just said, I think it should have been minimum 8-10 games.

Damn! This was our season, but Mac is now vastly improved. And that one Dolphin player said Tua's better now. Window's closed boys. Pack it up. We're done.

Did you see Josh year one? When some fans were already looking to run him out of town? Some guys *would* do well anywhere. Josh was raw, real raw. Do you think he would have developed and succeeded in, say, Cleveland?

"If you want me to use my actual hands you need to at least buy me dinner first."

New OC, new personell. Honestly, I'd like to see him play, but only the opening drive each game.

Oh, I doubt it too. Reread my reply. I said I might be worried if not for the fact that it was a vengeance game. ^.^

Bills laid an egg hard against Pitt last year, and will be there for a pennant drop they know could have been theirs. No, I expect them to come out on a rampage. I'd more fear a Week 2 drop off after that but the schedule gods left us a vengeance game in that spot.

Let's be honest, much like Brady and NE, Allen most likely would have flamed out hard had he not landed in Buffalo. He needed the right team to groom him and bring him along. I can't see him succeeding if, say, the Browns or Jets nabbed him.

He was consistent, passable or mundane depending on how you were looking. He wasn't great, he wasn't terrible. He wouldn't be the one to lose you games, but he wouldn't personally win them either. He would give you 7-9 wins, no more, no less. Some people applauded him for one side of it, some hated him for the other. The JAX playoff game showcased his limits, and made it clear he wasn't the future. That being said, I still think he's almost a model backup QB, where that consistency is valued in someone you're hoping will help you keep your head above water until your starter returns.

Watch, after *all* of this Watson will be allowed to play and suffer a career-ending injury Week 1.

Yep. He might well have had his chance this offseason even if not for that.

...and a conditional draft pick. 😉

It's not ability, it's market value. The Browns' trading position was non-existant, allowing the Panthers to rob them blind. The Browns have utterly botched this thing, from Watson to Mayfield and deserve the misery and discord this will bring. The fans...well, them I feel sorry for.

Nobody thinks this is 100% in the bag. We're all excited. This team that's been built is the closest we've been in a long while. Hell, we had the drought. For God's sake, let us be happy, let us be excited. If you can't be excited and swept up in championship fever until you actually win the championship, then the fan base of 31 NFL teams are going to be miserable this season.

I'm still shaking my head at the price tag. The Browns paid a steep toll and sold off their future for one guy. Three 1st?

There are women who prey on stars for money. It's not unheard of. That's why I reserve judgement and side with neither side at first. That being said the details that are coming out are highly disturbing and awful suspicious, and we're well past the "at first" part of all this. Cleveland rolled the dice and got snake-eyes. This is going to hurt the franchise for years to come.

What...are you talking about? I mean, where did that come from? 😕 Look at what I quoted/responded to. You specifically asked what Pats fans were like in the Kelly days. I...answered that question. I didn't mention Brady at all in my reply. Did you even read what I wrote, or just assumed what I said and unloaded on me? Nothing you said in that reply had anything to do with anything I said. Cut back on the caffeine, my dude. You'll live longer.

Remember being in the stands in the Kelly years and the Bills scored yet again on the Pats. Some poor, drunken Pats fan behind us started singing "The Bills make me wanna puke!". I felt sorry for the guy, given how bad the Pats were at the time.

He needs to sign with the Pats and take the 1st snap of Week 1. Then he gets a one-day trade to Buff and retires with the distinction of starting a game for every team in a division! XD

People like bashing Buffalo as an icy hellhole full of losers. That bashing continued until Allen, when suddenly the Bills and by extension the city, suddenly got sexy again. Side note, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I've seen women that won't make the covers of swimsuit magazines, but I'd most certainly [*Redacted*].
