I heard that... ...and while we're on the topic of unvaccinated players... 00oops

ah heck, have it there anyway... new stadiums get SBs. period. make it so Mr. WNY Commissioner

Yeah, kind of a useless discussion. Watch out for the Pats, Mac Jones has looked very good with the starters and McDaniels will coach him up well. I know everyone is expecting a SB, but Pats will be a very different team than the Bills saw last year. Jets will be better, Phins will be tough,. Nothing is a given in the NFL. They will need to compete for every win they get this year. Go Bills.

McKenzie. Stevenson to PS. Thats my guess. He cannot be given a spot on the 53 at WR as that means you're cutting Kumerow. In a 17 +2 or 3 game season, at least two WRs will be down for multiple games in all likelihood. The way the Bills throw it, they will need 7 roster WR + 2 PS to get through a 20 game season. MS will get his shot. Kumerow is too important on ST. McD plays "field position" defense (pin 'em deep on punts and kickoffs with great, great ST play and then make 'em go the length of the field). This is why Bam and JK and T Jones are so important-- they are actually part of the defensive approach of the team. Also plays into why LBs are not really run stoppers but great cover guys, its all about gap integrity and keeping the game in front of you. Drives typical knucklehead fans crazy when teams are ripping off 10 yard runs between the 30s, but it works in the long run. Everyone bashes Edmunds, but he is just doing his job. He was not drafted to be a dick butkus downhill banger , but moreso a gap filler tackler, and flexible side to side cover guy. Its total team defense. Frustrating for the 3 and out crowd, but it works. and super strong special teams is a key to it working, by lengthening the field. just my view

was a season ticket holder during his years. absolute rocket arm. I've rarely seen anyone rifle into spots like he could. the year ('02?) where Dick LeBeau was running the zone blitz defense was terrific to watch

Bills look very competitive this year for sure. Let's see how they do once the lights come on. A rash of injuries to key players can trash a season pretty quickly.. Heck, a bunch of key players could still be unvaccinated (Josh, others) and go down with Covid for 2-3 games, that could cost you a couple games (maybe even playoff games) right there. Last year is over; they absolutely look great, but hey, let's go play a few regular season games. Then you'll know what you have. and then you still won't know what you have as Covid could take out some unvaccinated key guys at any time. go bills.

this is why I don't begrudge the $$ pro athletes make. could all be gone tommorow. its Boogie time

yeah, interesting bc so many WNYers in NC now. strange I guess or perhaps now 30-40 years later people from the mass out migration of the 70's and 80's simply moved on and no reason to go back. the flights would be there if there was demand

I'm still trying to figure out why Cory B is gone. I thought he was fine, maybe a little pricey but nothing that wasn't manageable. Beane may have missed on this one.

TM couldn't cover me. go chase kick returners. that is what he can do very well.

what a different discussion we'd be having if this had happened a month from now

Tasker gets a pass for that amazing playoff ad he did last year

how long before this thread ends?

we'll know soon enough... go bills

nah, they'll just find the 10 counties that swing the electoral college to the Dem, and hack the vote in those counties (Detroit, Atlanta, Madison, the usuals) with loads of absentee and mail in ballots, just like 2020. Conservatives will never win a major race again IMO. The libs know exactly which swing counties they need to carry and have their own people running the balloting operations in those urban counties. This country is pretty much f'd. the greatest GOP candidate in the world couldn't win county X is the libs decided they had to have it.

still gotta play the games... frankly I am happy knowing they will be very competitive in every game no matter the opponent; now lets go play them and see how it goes

pretty sure Pegs doesn't want to be in the sports real estate business .. if the constituents want a new stadium to be used for any number of other events having nothing to do with the NFL, they should pay most of the cost; Pegs just wants to use it 10 times per year. this is all posturing/negotiating. frankly, given the tiny size of the WNY market in terms of population/income I still see no reason for a Billion + stadium that will do nothing other than completely price out the average fan and turn the in-stadium fan base into the "Aud Club" types , not Bills Mafia.. just sayin

we shall see. game played on the field, not in Vegas... but yes, assuming they stay healthy at the key positions, should be a good one for sure

Chronically bad ankle it appears. Pass. I want healthy bodies at any price.

it will do both

correct. done.

yeah, but Josh Allen was a hit, when the experts thought there was no way. so McBeanes got it right at the most important position in the game. I'll take a couple misses in exchange for that hit.

Jimmy's probably the biggest Bills booster bar/restaurant in Northern Virginia. Been there many times. Great spot. B Lo foods done well.

they are emerging right now in my NoVa backyard... gonna get loud here pretty soon...

Yeah, he'll be like AJ was last year... too light, strong but not NFL strong , but with a year in a pro weight and diet regime he'll be ready to add value in year 2. Don't look for much out of him this year. NFL O lineman will be manhandling him a bit his first year. All good.
