I expect a loss here but I don't think it's terrible. I think the back end is vulnerable but in McD's scheme they're also quite disciplined and are usually good at taking away big plays. It'll be interesting to see if the Ravens try and run Henry down their throats or if they try and exploit the secondary and have Jackson slinging it a lot.

In true glass is half empty Bills fan fashion I fully expect us to lose this so I will be over the moon if they win, especially with a much easier stretch to follow.

I think it depends on how they start. If they get a few good wins early it could lead to one of those "no one believed in us" things where they start feeding off the momentum and it brings them together. If things go south early they could completely fall apart, then you'll have guys like Hill making even more of an a$s of himself talking trash on social media and trying to engineer a trade. For all Tua's faults they are a much better offense when he plays because he's so good with the timing and quick throws, so any chance they have to even be in playoff contention is dependant on him not missing time, which is a big if.

You know what, part of me thought the same. Do they want him to go under the radar so people don’t see how good he is? Then another part of me thought they just want him focused. either way I’m excited to see him in week 1

It's a weird one with Keon. I finally watched the latest Hard Knocks and was struck that through 4 episodes we've seen nothing of hi. I really thought he'd be the star of the show. I wonder why he hasn't been featured - is he so much about being all business that he wanted zero distractions? Also just watched Dawkins' interview on first things first and was shocked by how he talked about Keon. "I've never seen a jump from year 1 to year 2 that I've seen with him", "the rest of the league is going to be shocked". I watched his off season training video and did get excited about this year, hope he can deliver somewhat on what Dawkins was saying. What he lacks in speed he can make up for in strength with those contested catches, and it'd be great to see him start to be a dominant player that draws attention away fro the rest of the wideouts and allows them to make their own fair share of plays. As to the question, I don't think superstar but do think we'll be very happy and will see him as well worth his draft position.

Reminds me of when they signed Reggie back in the day. Jerry probably didn’t like Parsons getting so much attention off the field with his podcast and all, taking the attention away from himself

Miami's look like the wimpy kid at school whose mother dresses him, then one day he tries to look tough by coming in wearing a leather jacket

I actually quite like them as something to wear once, kind of like the leather G-string I got for my wedding night. The start of that video made me think I was watching a beer commercial

WGR was talking about Coleman yesterday, how if he can become a WR that has to be doubled regularly that will free up so much more the offense can do. An obvious point but very true. A lot hinges on his second year leap. Bosa has been downplayed by us fans because of his injury history. The main thing is getting into the playoffs with him healthy. If he has a nagging injury in mid season and misses a few games, while not ideal, isn't the deal breaker. Having him healthy in the playoffs is key. Because we need him to cause mayhem in the standard Chiefs rematch. Same with Hairston. It sucks that he's missed so much time and who knows if he'll crack the starting lineup this season, but if he's healthy at season's end he will get playing time in the playoffs and that is where he could be hitting his stride as a rookie. His speed could really make a difference against someone like Worthy in the playoffs. Also, the additions to the defensive line could take the team up a notch, if they're able to get pressure without blitzing it'll mean a lot less of those annoying 3rd down conversions that drive me crazy every year. It's all what ifs but potentially could be well above last season. At the least I think they'll probably be pretty much the same

Thing is with Reid and why he's arguably the greatest offensive play caller of all time, if teams find a way to stop what they're doing he'll eventually figure something out with the pieces he has on offense. He's like the offensive version of Belichick in that way. All those times the Pats lost players on D and would start the season conceding a lot of points, people would say"this is it for the Patriots dynasty" and then by mid season he'd figured out a way for the defense to play based on the personnel they had available. Reid is the same with the offense. I always go back to a couple of years ago when the Chiefs had been struggling on offense all season. When they played the Bills in the playoffs Kelce was WIDE OPEN, I mean he couldn't have got more wide open. Mahomes simply tossed the ball to him and the announcers immediately started shouting "THAT'S the Mahomes we know!" No, that's Reid scheming people open. I really think if you look at Mahomes' best plays on YouTube, so many of them are him throwing to guys who are wide open, or throwing a little screen to Hill who then burned past everyone. Watch Allen's best plays and he's doing stuff completely off script and just making an insane play. I know Mahomes has hose plays too but I feel Allen has more because he's had to have more, because there's nothing mind blowing about the plays being called.

Mahomes is obviously a fantastic QB with an insane will to win but I still maintain if Andy Reid retired tomorrow he would be royally screwed and all the talk about him being potentially the best of all time would become laughable

Essentially a player coach who won’t play unless it’s an emergency.

That’s seriously amazing. what is it about cool bowling balls that make me have to c*ap?

Man who update cut thread with chopstick accomplish anything

This is a thread for discussing Bills cuts only; not posting what the cuts are It is for folks who just want to pop in and enjoy knee jerk reactions about what the cuts might be, without wading through the actual cuts. To see the actual cuts please use the cuts thread, not this one.

Sometimes I reply “hey, hey, what’s YOUR name sailor?”

I already have 3 wives,7 children and another on the way with our Filipino housekeeper so I don’t have time for another family

Only 32. I feel like he should be 45 by now with all the times he's broken up and gotten back together with us

It’s easy to laugh at guys like this who have fathers who are way more talented than they’ll ever be but man it must be tough. yes you have privilege and cash which I’d love but everything you do is compared to pops, every a achievement is at least in some way attributed to daddy and his money or contacts. I think it’d be a nightmare. Neon was always a d*ck but he grew up poor and was a truly great player, easily one of the top CBs we ever saw, and junior knows he can’t even stick with a team let alone reach his dad’s heights. I think him throwing punches last night was him trying to be like dad (remember the incident with Rison). If he can’t display his fathers talent at least he can try and replicate the attitude and even that feels cheap and second hand

Mike White is the key to our Super Bowl hopes, why would you possibly risk him getting hurt?

I just came here to rave about this kid. Never want to overreact to preseason but for a rookie he's been really impressive. Always seems to be in the QB's face getting his hands up. Also some impressive chases, not giving up on the play and has helped out on a couple open field tackles

Hmm this sounds like reverse psychology, like when the wife says “oh I’m so tired, I wish someone else would cook dinner tonight”. Luckily for me I’m completely selfish and always pick this moment to pretend I’m busy thinking about Josh Allen

Or smash your head against one

I agree. Maybe it's because we already 'know' the players so well but it does feel a bit going through the motions. I mean I'll happily watch it because it's the Bills but I have to say I prefer the embedded episodes. That's what Hard Knocks was always about for me, seeing fringe guys trying to make it. Seeing where they live, their relationships, how hard it is to make it in the NFL, all the work they put in even though the odds are stacked against them. I think it helps when it's a team you don't know much about For us we kind of know which guys have a little chance of making an impact, but for fans of another team who only know Josh Allen and guys like Cook they'll be a bit more intrigued by a guy like Hamler
