That’s 2 too many for many in the “wrong Josh” category pre-draft and since, because, you know, still the wrong Josh ?.

Ummm...<thinking bout it>...no. Like your creativity but bring me some offensive side talent please instead. This guy is Brian Cox to me, although I do give him slight credit for going up to JA afterwards with a handshake

He could’ve become a bitter withdrawn recluse following either the tragedy with his son, or his recurring bouts with cancer even after it was supposedly cleared the first 2x. (Could we have blamed him if he had?) But instead he comes back every time with a smile and selfless encouraging words/deeds for others going through similar battles—all while still finding the time/energy to remain involved with the Bills and their functions along with his own foundations/camps. He’s become an even better role model off the field worth having a new generation of kids look up to like I did all those years ago, only now from the standpoint of real life lessons off the field. God bless you Jim and I hope this was a big step in the right direction for you.

I can't hate on that statement Mofo, you're probably mostly correct, I am also a softie when it comes to our alumni from a certain era that shall remain nameless, only clue is my avatar

I love FR. A total class act, awesome for the Bills (for you really young millennials out there, YouTube yourself some “greatest NFL comeback of all time against the Oilers”) and wish him nothing but the very best. But to say that this coaching hire and not taking Frank was the Pegulas’ greatest mistake ever? C’mon man—that’s grossly premature and not backed up by the data even to date.

All of which will be a welcome talking points change from the historically bad offensive numbers we were dealing with as reality during the time JA was sidelined and before the Barkley start!

Foster had his man beat so bad in stride that powering up to #1 speed prob not even necessary he thought at the time ?

Or to put this news in plain Coach Speak: "Everyday we look at how we can continue to make our roster better, as an organization committed to improvement wherever and whenever possible. As you know [insert reporter name here], I regularly sit down with Brandon, and we take a collaborative approach, as we always have, to reviewing our options along these lines. From our ownership on down, there's never really an off-season for evaluating talent, and even during the season, there are outside opportunities that we have to take advantage of and make sure that our drive to sustained success is constantly maintained and kept of paramount priority. With that said, I cannot comment on specific players or roster decisions as they occur, as the process is ongoing and any final decisions will be made public in due course." Have I missed anything or is that about what we can expect if these tidbits come up at the next presser?

During the SB run, Miami was always considered "Rich Stadium South"--sure would be nice to be able to give that venue a new moniker after a "W" this week, something like "New Era Suburbs" to christen the era of JA against the Fish! Buffalo, can you handle all of this winning??

Ice bowl, your good wishes reaching across the proverbial isle as a sign of solidarity are always timely. Unfortunate run of road games for your Pack, but you still have a great QB so there’s that ?

My only quibble would be with Marvin Lewis; it was hit or miss for a minute before this season if he would be coming back so in light of the latest Bengals implosion I’d say move him back to DEFCON 5 hot. However, ownership has already given him more undeserved longevity than that enjoyed by the highway robber Hue Jackson (ironically now employed by the same FO so that’s about as guaranteed job security outside of a federal government job as you can get), so you’re probably right that your current group of 5’s still go first, especially Bowles, aka the anti-Batman of “Gotham City” ?

Our QB’s elbow has been bionically re-engineered during the past 4 weeks to be a woke battering ram. That is all.

Pre-Beane, and you also can’t win ‘em all. No one, not even Belicheat, bats 1000 on draft day, especially in the 5th round where NP was taken.

Well, for awhile there last month especially, I couldn’t go a single commercial break with WGR’s stream on the radio app without getting to hear all about the kissmas bash 2018 (complete with the same annoying song snippets over and over) coming to town with tons of ✨ stars!! ??‍♂️? lol. If you build it they will come

I don’t dispute the Oline issues. But what worries me is that even the great ones, once they hit that proverbial wall, it’s such a rapid decline off the edge of a yardage cliff—how many times in league history have we witnessed that movie playing out? The exceptions to the rule, like AP this year (who had some time off) or Sanders who quit while he was ahead, are few and far between. I’m sure he can still have moments like the Jets game, it’s just that stringing it together week after week consistently is the issue.

Donuts? , if I could’ve awarded your post the Vince Lombardi trophy as well as the chortling guffaw which you already received, I would. While I fondly think back to our run of January playoff success shoveling snow against climate temperate teams in the 90’s, including the Fish, Raiders and Oilers for example, I’ll be happy and just fine reliving those set to the NFL Films trumpeting orchestral sounds in the background, while looking forward to JA putting up video game numbers in 70 degrees. Cheers!

As much as I hate the idea of playing the Fish indoors in December, overall I’m also coming around to the notion that indoors is the way to go in order to maximize ROI throughout the whole year and bring in other events including possibly the SB which the NFL seems to award all new stadium projects these days? But that wouldn’t be the sole reason to do it that way, just a contributing one. Fan experience would be another.

Well at least it’s not a feasibility study of a Toronto venue just yet ?

Won’t ever happen don’t think, nor would it make sense for our rebuild and trying to maximize development of youth going forward, imo.

Became a fan of his ever since last year's miracle 4th down TD throw to get us the last little bit into the playoffs, as probably a lot of others here did as well--hate it for the guy, but looks like this season was well on its way to going in the tank anyway for them, so maybe not the worst outcome in the world for his long term health/longevity. Seems like a really good guy, even gave back some of the Buffalo donations made to his foundation from Bills fans, earlier this year to a Buffalo hospital before their preseason game as I recall. Good luck to him!

Love it. You gotta love this kid and the fire with which he attacks this game, right?? And his teammates feed off this energy I feel like

Doesn't strike me as much of a "process" team guy, but hey, McBeane may surprise us all yet! He also happens to play a position that is undervalued in today's NFL, and we should be able to keep finding good enough (cheap) RB talent through the draft process just fine, especially when we have so many other needs to fill, IMHO.

I saw it as JA taking what the defense was giving him with the reads he had, and also making something out of nothing if the Oline wasn't giving him enough time to throw--that said, I do think that with more game reps and the game overall slowing down for him, we will see higher yds/game through the air and less on the ground for him. But heck, yesterday his runs were game-changers and helped us win, so I'm not complaining. It was shades of Steve Young out there at times! Also, as others here have already pointed out, this was TT in year 6-7, JA is just starting out, has a better arm and willingness to look at the middle of the field, and will even out IMHO.

Honestly expected option #2 to carry the day so far, but #1 is rolling, good stuff!

You don't want me to break out my really mean face sir!
