We prefer to be called the "progressive base" or the "social democrat base." There's a difference. Please learn it. You'll have many months this year to do so. A Bernie-Tulsi ticket would be my dream. I was a Bernie Supporter in 2016 and still am, but Tulsi has actually been my first choice for 2020 since the day that she announced her presidential run. My suspicion is that she has been working in tandem with Bernie all along, taking out enemies of the progressive cause (Kamala Harris, Mayor Pete the Cheat, any Hillary Clinton acolyte) while Bernie the Progressive Godfather does his thing. Bernie already has the name recognition, progressive infrastructure, and built-in army of supporters. Tulsi has been focusing on making inroads with the independent voter majority of this country, as well as war vets, libertarians and other disillusioned Trump supporters in 2016 who have realized that he was a fake populist carnival barker all along. Tulsi's foreign policy expertise also perfectly complements Bernie's domestic agenda. A Bernie-Tulsi partnership is a strong one and probably the Democratic Party's only real shot at beating Trump. The rest of the Dems are hopelessly mired in woke identity politics, Russiagate conspiracies, divisive impeachment shenanigans, and DNC *****. Bernie and Tulsi (Yang too) have been more focused on policies that could actually help the large majority of Americans who live paycheck to paycheck.

As much as I would like to begin ordering my Molotov cocktail supplies for the July convention in Milwaukee, the reality is that this thing is over. Bernie won. He started winning weeks ago when both Warren and Hillary unfairly attacked him. He unofficially won it when Biden faceplanted in Iowa. And his win will be obvious to everyone - even the MSNBC, CNN, NY Times, and Washington Post crowd - the morning after Super Tuesday. There are no more remaining viable neoliberal establishment machinations to be carried out, unless they are okay with taking away from Sanders what will have been rightfully earned by the time of the convention (and thereby instantly ensuring four more years of Trump). Warren and Klobuchar will be finished off in New Hampshire, Buttigieg by South Carolina, and Biden by Super Tuesday. By the time Bloomberg tries to enter the race, it will be too late. Bernie is going to win a voter majority in all but 2-3 states in the South by early March. The Clinton-Obama era of neoliberal warmongers has failed the country (especially the working class) and is thankfully almost over. We can play games for a few more weeks, but after that, it's time for the "moderate" Democrats to accept defeat and embrace a progressive FDR New Deal-style agenda. If not? Well, then make you're not near me at the convention this summer. KAY DON'T PLAY.

You sicken me, sir.

It's what I call "Chris Kelsay scar tissue." You see it everywhere throughout the Buffalo Bills fanbase that endured The Drought Era. You are either hard-working, team-oriented, blue-collar, always carrying your lunch in a pail form, completely devoid of talent, and somehow a perfect fit for the Buffalo franchise or you are a supremely talented but egotistical, lazy, and possibly criminal diva of an athlete who belongs with one of those teams that wins playoff games and division titles at least once every 25 years.

The defense is still mediocre against the run and in the red zone, though I think these issues have more to do with schemes, gap responsibility, and tackling technique than with personnel.

Clowney is a swiss army knife in the front 7. He can be lined up at Sam LB, either DE spot, nickel/dime DT, or as a LB/DE in a 3-4 scheme. Frazier's defense is at the point now where they can add layers of complexity to confuse even the most experienced of QB's and advance from really good to legendary. Clowney could singlehandedly do this for Frazier. Clowney's impact is not measured in personal sacks as much as it in the statistics of the overall defense. I wouldn't be shocked to learn that Brain Gaine is pushing Beane hard to go after him.

He's not reading this message board. You'll have to fly over to Baltimore and tell him.

This was my interpretation of the stats as well. The defense's sack totals were higher than expected, while the pass breakups and interceptions lower than expected, because fewer QB's were willing to take chances against the back 7...of which Hyde and Poyer play a key role. Buffalo's defense has a reputation for being perhaps the best in the league at disguising coverages. Buffalo also led the league in fewest pass plays given up of 20+ yards (34 all season). They deliberately scheme to keep everything in front of them, which can limit the opportunities for safeties to get interceptions and pass breakups. Also, I think some of y'all either don't watch enough football outside the Bills or are having memory selectivity biases. Safeties are missing tackles and giving up pass plays all the time...even the very best ones. Overall, Hyde and Poyer are excellent. Neal and J. Johnson are looking good, too.

Ryan Hickman can't do all of BillsMafia's dirty work. Someone else needs to step up! I've been doing my part. Notice how I'm always seated so far away from Kyle and Peter on the set of GMFB? That's because they have a 10ft restraining order on me for a few Bills-related "misunderstandings." Also, I'm about halfway through the entire series of The Wire and have some deliciously witty retorts lined up for the internet Ravens fan world. Am I worried about any blowback similar to what Jerry "Poor Woman's Ray Romano" Coleman received? No. Vinyasa yoga nights have been replaced with women's self-defense classes. All three of my assigned emotional support animal companions are cats that have not been declawed. KAY DON'T PLAY.

Oh goodness, no! I was referring to an infamous incident with ex-Bills RB, Travis Henry, who got into trouble when meeting up with an underaged girl at a gas station. No one else remembers this? Or am I imagining things again? In any case, I have higher standards. At least take me to a Dave & Buster's first.

A former Buffalo Bills head coach who quit the team. No, not Doug Marrone. No, not Lou Saban. No, not Chuck Knox. No, not John Rauch. No, not Lou Saban again.

There seems to be an unusually large number of quality free agent pass rushers this off-season. I wonder if this will suppress the market value a bit for Lawson and Phillips? Even so, about half of the league's teams are in good enough cap shape where they can throw wild money at a pass rusher if they so choose.

I see the point he was trying to make, but when I think of young athletes having children, I don't immediately think of stability and dedication to one's profession; I think of a rather unromantic rendezvous with some guy named "T. Henry" in a dimly lit parking lot behind a gas station off of I-90.

He wasn't kidding when he talked about turnover in the NFL and the difference between the 2017 Bills and the 2019 Bills. Him and DiMarco are the only players on offense that remain from the 2017 roster! Overall, you can add Ferguson, Hauschka, Hughes, Lawson, Alexander, Milano, Hyde, Poyer, and White. So that's only 11 players total out of 53 that were jumping around like maniacs in the locker room when Dalton became a hero. And only 4 of these ever experienced the Rex Ryan Circus of 2016.

Well your X receiver doesn't need to have talent at the level of Julius Jones or AJ Green, but he certainly needs to be an upgrade over Duke Williams. I'm thinking along the lines of a less lazy version of Kelvin Benjamin. I'm thinking of ways the Bills can improve the offense from #24 to top-10. How do you propose they do it? This is what I suggested: 1. X receiver in first two rounds of draft. A healthy AJ Green would be ideal! 2. Scherff or Conklin on the right side of the line to pair with Ford. 3. Power RB, like Carlos Hyde in free agency or someone in the middle rounds of the draft. Derrick Henry would be ideal! 4. Josh Allen improving. 5. Everyone staying healthy.

100% agree. At bare minimum, the Bills need to improve on the following: 1. Upgrade from Gore as the between-the-tackles power RB. 2. Replacement of Alexander at Sam LB. 3. Genuine #1 WR (the "X" WR) with a large catch radius. 4. A young or relatively young DE who can at least share reps with Hughes but eventually replace him. 5. One more good OL (RT or RG, depending on Ford's situation). Incremental improvements on offense will not suffice. The Bills need to go from the #24 offense to somewhere within the top 10 if they want to overtake the Chiefs and Ravens. Josh Allen doesn't need to be as good as Mahomes or Jackson, but he needs to be solidly above average and he needs help in the form of at least one significant upgrade at RB, WR/TE, and OL...as outlined above. I also noticed that Sean McDermott is already among the 15 longest-tenured head coaches in the NFL. 6 of them have already won a Super Bowl, all within the first 5 years of coaching. An additional 2 at least have made it to the Super Bowl. An additional 4 are currently alive in the second round of the playoffs. Finally, the 2 remaining (ironically both former Bills head coaches: Marrone and Lynn) have already won playoff games before but are both likely to be fired next year. So my point is that another one and done playoff appearance should not be acceptable. Neither should be getting swept by the Patriots again when all of the other 4 AFC playoff teams have shown this season that they are capable of beating them. Bills fans need to shake off the legacy of failure from the Drought Era and raise their expectations!

Same. This game gave me menopause.

I have that exact same outfit. But different size, of course.

Oh my...I had a 2-minute drill joke, but it would belie my reputation, so I will remain silent. Watt and Fuller make the Texans a clear favorite on paper, but there are also many ways to neutralize the impact of a single good DE and 2 good WR threats. 95% of the game will be spent talking about how courageous and heroic Watt and Fuller are, so that will be a bummer.

The AFC East denizens are hiring Bills Drought Era head coaches and becoming more competitive. The Jets hired Gregg Williams as DC. The Dolphins just hired Gailey as OC. Your Pats need to immediately fire Belichick, make Rex Ryan head coach, add Jauron as DC, and add Mularkey as OC.

Gailey designed a creative spread offense to maximize the limited talent he had at the moment. Daboll appears to be laying the foundation of a complex Erhardt-Perkins system that will benefit Allen in the long-term, though currently without all the requisite pieces surrounding the QB. Gailey had a 6th/7th/8th year pro with Fitzpatrick. Daboll is still teaching Allen some QB fundamentals that he never learned in high school and college. So two very different situations! This probably reads as if I'm a Daboll apologist. I'm really not, though. I will call for his firing if next season's offense isn't at least comfortably within the top half of the league.

It also seems like Beane looks ahead and takes advantage of the strengths of each particular draft class. 2018 was hyped as an amazing year for QB. Beane selects Allen in the first round. 2019 was hyped as an amazing year for DL. Beane selects Oliver in the first round. Now 2020 is being hyped as an amazing year for WR, with as many as 8 being reported with obvious first round grades. And what a coincidence, but the Bills currently have a big need for a #1 WR! You say that scouting WR's is tough, but is it any tougher than scouting QB's? Beane trusts his scouts. Beane trusts the process. I implore you to trust the process as well. You trust the process, don't you?! If not the process, trust Kay. When it comes to draft predictions, the right way is via Kay. Give Kay the final say! A WR on the first draft day!

This is super entertaining! If I launched my own spin-off show called "Good Morning Baker Mayfield," or GMBM, and focused exclusively on his career meltdown, would y'all turn in? The show's acronym, GMBM, would work on multiple levels. I welcome your feedback.

The Browns are regressing toward Chuck Lester in 2022.

Conklin, RT, Titans Clowney, LDE, Seahawks Klein, SOLB, Saints I'm going to add a 4th free agent just because I'm in love with RB Derrick Henry (Titans), and y'all will too once he tears up the Patriots Saturday night. A 6'3" 240 lb between-the-tackles RB who just won the NFL rushing title? Yes, please ? For those of you adding expensive WR's, remember that the 2020 draft is supposed to be a historically great year for that position! And for those of you adding DE's and OLB's on your free agent wish list, remember that the Bills are only going to choose players who fit their particular 4-3 system!
