Disagreed The original BBMB was awesome. There were so many weird characters on there. Some were absolutely nuts, but that’s what gave it charm. Reminds me of the internet in its Wild West days before everything got washed down & sanitized. Even Chris Brown posted there. The community felt a lot closer and there a lot of fun contests. People lived & died w/ their player predictions.

Idiot could’ve had it made here in Buffalo. Luckily we got a more functional idiot wide receiver instead. AB did Beane the biggest favor of his career because that trade would’ve ultimately gotten him fired.

So many great memories and black outs.

Highly disagree. McDermott gets more out of his players than any Bills coach in recent memory. He’s most definitely a top 10 coach. Don’t believe me ? Then see how long he lasts on the open market.

THE signature Jim Kelly play. This was featured in so many promos.

That’s why I cut a hole in the wall

TB is my favorite defensive play. His 2023 season was among the best I’ve seen among Bills Middle LBs. 143 total tackles, 6.5 Sacks, 3 FR, 3 INT, 10 TFL/9 QB Hits. He had a dip in production last year, but still made big plays at opportune times. On offense Dion Dawkins is not elite, but he is consistently very good and a do-it-all “jack of all trades” type player. It’s funny how much hate he’s gotten when all he does is execute on the field. And helped get O-Linemen an award which is honestly pretty cool. I have always been a huge fan.

Trey Lance definitely comes to mind. Not only a top 3 pick, but the 49ers had to give up a haul to get to that spot. There must’ve been something going on behind the scenes because I don’t even recall him being that bad, at least not enough to warrant being traded after 4 games with a .500 record and 5/2 TD-INT. If they didn’t luck out w/ Brock Purdy, that entire FO would’ve been canned. The whole situation has always been intriguing to me. If it was a character thing then he wouldn’t be on another team. It’s not his stats because we’ve seen guys like Zack Wilson & Bryce Young put up horrid numbers yet get insane amounts of chances. If anybody has more knowledge about the subject I would be happy to hear.

Reggie Bush as well.

You get to retain said player on roster when original contract is over.

Good point. Never thought of it that way. So many key players in Bills history

Bring Arthur Moats out of retirement.

I always wondered what Kelly’s career trajectory would’ve looked like if he had immediately came to Buffalo instead of all that USFL crap. Kind of seemed like a waste of 3 more potential prime years.

They really should’ve took the money they gave WR Palmer and just gave it to Cook. I’m not a fan of paying RBs either, but Buffalo is in “win now” mode. I don’t want to waste another Josh Allen prime year by starting a player like Ray Davis who MIGHT be a suitable replacement. The Bills need to go into 2025 with every possible weapon at their disposal. A 1000+ yard/18 TD RB is not as easy of a replacement as some people think. If we were a rebuilding team then I would be all for letting Cook walk.

NFLThrowback is such a great YT channel to watch in the offseason. I like to watch games I haven’t seen before. And those Bills uniforms are the epitome of the 90s.

I wouldn’t trade Josh for their top 5 best players combined.

It’s probably a combination of mental health and CTE. Either way he is speed running his downfall.

Completely left out Allen’s 1800 34 TDs rushing …and a receiving TD for good measure. I can’t stand when analysts manipulate statistics like this. Absolutely insanity to even compare these 2 guys. And I am actually a Tua fan, but Josh is a first ballot HOFer if he retires at 30. Tua is a Chad Pennington clone.

People laugh, but this is extremely sad. AB’s mental health is deteriorating in front of our very eyes in real time. It was only a matter of time before he completely destroyed his life. Thankfully he didn’t kill someone or even multiple people. Never a good look for the NFL anytime CTE hits the news, but is a very real topic of discussion. I seriously pray for this guy. It’s only going to get worse. I was expecting a Jovan Belcher situation.

Expectations are way too high for rookies and sophomores IN GENERAL. I’ve never known such an impatient group of people in all my life. I remember the “three year rule” that used to be given to WRs. Sometimes it would even take 4 for certain guys. The physicality of NFL CBs is a whole other level. “Touch” is a relatively new concept for Allen. Otherwise, he is launching absolute piss missiles. Guys have complained about bruised hands. I can’t even imagine handling those balls in cold weather. To answer the OP. Fans have been entirely unfair to Keon. Stat line he put up was very respectable considering he was injured. He has demonstrated every skill in the pros that he showed in college. I expect to make a jump into a Gabe Davis type stat-line. 850 yards, 8 TDs. Year 3 is when the league really starts to take notice. I think the guy who really takes a massive leap is Shakir.

It’s not the amount of players that need to step up. It’s a certain cohesive unit as a whole. And that’s the defensive line. Even though it was a bit long ago, I feel like the Giants drew up the blueprint against the Patriots. Until Buffalo is able to send consistent pressure against Mahomes, it’s going to be a long day for them. I don’t want to sound cruel, but they need to beat the crap out of him within the context of the rules. Start making him see ghosts like Sam Darnold. If they draw a RTP call or 2 then so be it. This has always been the #1 issue and it’s why Beane took another crack at bolstering the line this offseason. I hate to put a lot of pressure on a recently injury-prone player, but damn, it would be BILLY FUCCILLO HUGE if Joey Bosa could stay relatively healthy. A starting line of BOSA/ OLIVER/ TJ SANDERS/ ROUSSEAU would be absolutely insane. The Bills have some very solid rotational players as well.

I think they are a fringe playoff team WITHOUT #17. Why? Because of their strength in the trenches (especially O-line.) I think Brady is a top level coordinator. Take the ball out of Trubisky’s hands as much as possible and use his legs more. Ride Cook & Company all the way to the postseason. Mix the running w/ some screens, bootlegs, and occasional deep shot to keep opposing D’s honest. Another underrated aspect is the blocking ability of the WRs when they hit the 2nd level. Bills regular season defense has always been very good to great under McDermott so I’d expect a top 5-7 unit. You can also expect them to be in the upper tier of turnover differential as well. Buffalo defense knows how to take the ball away and score afterwards . It is not luck, it is coaching. As a fan, I pretty much expect 1-2 takeaways per game. All in all, I think 9-8 is a very realistic record. This team has more talent than fans give credit for. It takes more than just a good QB. Look at the Bengals & Chargers over the recent years. There’s a reason McDermott is tied for the 4th longest current coaching tenure and he would be snatched up faster than a rabbit gets ****** if he ever hit the market. You think Antoine Winfield or Pat Williams hurt? Imagine McDermott going the Patriots. Then why post a reply? I get it, bud. The offseason is hurting all of us. You got this.

They weren’t really praying for turnovers. They were pretty much guaranteed 1 a game. That’s McDermotts coaching style.

Absolutely agreed. Last year proved to me (without a doubt) that Allen is going to play at a high level well into his “old” age when he loses a little bit of that running power. The running threat will always be there to an extent, but Allen is throwing the ball so accurately & efficiently. People hate these WRs, but they all have complementary skill sets to the QB. Having smaller WRs his whole career kind of forced him to be more precise and timed.

500? Hell naw. I’d do it for 50k though. I have faith that Allen will win it in a different year.
