I think what everyone is trying to say is that they like Hamlin

This is the episode where tony wants to use Carmella’s spec house money to gamble right?

If he’s willing to play one year for $30, the franchise tag might pay more. Obviously he’d like a huge contract but not bad options to have

You seem like a fun person

You don’t know what hard times are daddy. Hard times are when the textile workers around this country are out of work, they got 4 or 5 kids and can’t pay their wages, can’t buy their food. Hard times are when the auto workers are out of work and they tell ‘em go home. And hard times are when a man has worked at a job for thirty years, thirty years, and they give him a watch, kick him in the butt and say “hey a computer took your place, daddy”, that’s hard times! That’s hard times!

I’m expecting a slop fest, not hinging anything on this game, need to stay healthy

Walker looks like a splash play guy, a piece of the puzzle we desperately need.

Special teams

I hope they at least leave the light on for him.

Opening day 😬

100 million seems conservative as far as billionaires’ yachts go

For the bills to get over the hump, a lot of players are going to need to outperform their contract. Just how it is, regardless of this injury. at some point McDermott is going to have to let some of the younger, more athletic, players play. If this is a serious injury, I hope he lets someone play that isn’t the safe choice

I will not be shocked if the ravens bills game is incredibly dull

I agree. this is all McDermott gets, if he can’t put a monster together with what he has then…

All this defense needs to succeed is guys who can do everything at a high level at every position.

That’s reasonable, I just hope there aren’t cracks forming. i.e. I hope all the talk about complacency isn’t the first smoke from something deeper. like I said, just a thought, not trying to do drama.

This pretty much where I’m at. If the defense fails again this year I’ll be fully in the time to move on camp. If McDermott needs pro-bowl talent at every position for his scheme to work then the scheme doesn’t work. I see he’s already getting his ducks in a row, as far as excuses go, by saying we don’t have safeties. Whose fault is that? Fair or not, Beane and McDermott have the benefit of standing on Josh’s shoulders so the expectations for them have to be higher

Not to be a drama queen, I hope there isn’t something fishy going on. Seems like dudes aren’t buying in.

Bit of a nuanced take: My biggest issue with the base defense is I don’t feel like it’s the type of defense that has success at the highest level/in the playoffs. Making things more complicated is that it is often successful in other situations. The Bills need to be doing the things that the best defenses do, especially in the playoffs, throughout the regular season. Play more man, play more 4-3, stunt more, be more aggressive in general and roll the dice. Force the offense to do something rather than read and react. by doing these things more often in the regular season, they will be more prepared to do them when they need them. In a sense you trade some of your regular season capital(?) for post season success.

Probably. The organization has placed a high value on character (for better or worse) and it impacts our overall talent. it’s a big picture perspective and I can appreciate it, but it’s not without its frustrations.

Agree, people thinking we have 75 nfl starters on the roster got a reality check

Good night for: Bears ticket sales Bad night for: Bills fans that watch preseason

September isn’t great either

Trade to Dallas for parsons
