Meh, it's just a game and entertainment; not like I obsess over it.
*checks post count*
I mean, I try not too anyways.
What I like now is the assurance that this team will be highly competitive in every game they play. For so long, there were 6 or 7 games you just knew were losses. Games now can go either way based on turnovers, injuries , whatever, but this roster is 110% competitive for the first time . So lets go play the games and enjoy them, win or lose. Don't get so invested in the result. Celebrate the successes, recognize that losses will absolutely happen. Its a long season.

Particularly now that the Bills are a good team, I find myself participating much less frequently on the board during the week after a loss. I lurk but post much less. The threads get ridiculous (well, even more ridiculous) and it's exhausting. Is it just me?
I come nowhere near. Most Bills fans are a-way too invested in the team, self identifying with the ups and downs. I believe the profession calls it "reflected glory" syndrome or something like that. Losses generate all kinds of hate , etc. So, yeah, stay away until they cool off and realize there is more to life than how the freakin bills did last week. Having said that, Go freakin Bills.

If they make everyone mask up Outdoors, I will throw up. What a bunch of politicians. Cave dwellers in Egypt by now are aware Covid does not spread outdoors, per the scientists guys like Poloncarz worship.

Agreed with the Athletic. This is the issue that will get them a couple losses they cannot afford, if anything does.

Sanders isn’t a burner anymore, but he still can separate very well and he should be productive here. It surprised me that the Bills did not make getting a deep threat a priority. But on the other hand losing Brown last season didn’t seem to hurt the passing game so maybe separation is what works with Allen and this offense. A deep threat is always helpful for an offense but maybe it’s not as important for this one. I dunno. We shall see.
so it seems... we don't bust that Seattle game open last year without that John Brown speed , not sure I see a guy like that on today's roster.
-
Anyone concerned that John Brown's ability to keep safeties deep was lost when E Sanders replaced him?
Anyone have their relative 40 times? I don't recall Sanders being a burner. Hope I am wrong..
Concerned we have a great, but less fast WR group, and secondaries will accordingly play tighter to the line of scrimmage.

Not at all and it has more to do with logistics than the usual cold-weather weather excuse (though that probably does effect things too)
The biggest issue is that the Orchard Park/Buffalo area probably couldn’t handle the amount of Super Bowl visitors. Even, if they could the accommodations wouldn’t be very good. Buffalo is not meant to host an event like the Super Bowl in any way
ah heck, have it there anyway... new stadiums get SBs. period. make it so Mr. WNY Commissioner

Who cares about a teams backup?? No coach wants to leave theirs teams destiny in the hands of a backup.
So...
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.

Nice story about Maguire. I'm not surprised.
What also caught my attention was that there was a direct flight from Raleigh to Buffalo. I don't live in Buffalo anymore but for years it's seemed like you couldn't fly directly from Buffalo to anywhere except Chicago and few other major hubs. Buffalo is a great place to live but the lack of direct flights is a negative for the city.
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.

Chris Brown is a Bills’ shill who loves to hear himself speak, yet rarely says anything enlightening.
Steve Tasker was a wonderful ST ace and pretty good WR.
Tasker gets a pass for that amazing playoff ad he did last year

He seems squeaky clean leftists might have to work overtime trying to set him up.
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

Tied with SF at +1200.
Behind the favorites KC at +450 and TB at +700.
Should be another fantastic year to be a Bills fan...
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
Only one team in the SB era has won the SB after losing the season OPENER at home

I see this roster as very competitive and will get to the playoffs, but KC or Tampa's defense would stop the bills offense cold. Bills have no answer up front for the Chris Jones's and really stout front 7s of rhe NFL. Not yet.
