Ethan in Cleveland

Cut the waste first...get rid of AJE, Gilliam, Samuel, and make Knox take a huge pay cut.

You met him? How do you know? Every interview he has had he says the right things. Work hard. Take my reps. Study. Get better each day. Everything you wpuld expect a rookie to say. Sure their were reports of bad interviews and maybe he is a jerk, but no one really knows. Lol... I hit 90 every day on I90 in Cleveland! But then again I am a brat...not entitled, I earned my way to being a brat...lol!

So LJ is AJE 2.0???

Not to be picky but both Cleveland and Detoit have 4 NFL Championships each while the Bills have 2 AFL Championships so I'd be careful saying which city has better football teams. Bills NFL run has clearly been better. All three have some of the best players to ever play their positions in Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, Ozzie Newsome, OJ Simpson, Bruce Smith, Joe Thomas, and now Josh Allen. And let's not even start with the fact that Detroit has 4 Major Sports teams with multiple Championships, and even the Indians/Guardians and Cavs have Championships.

Working. Didn't see the game. Any injuries? Thats all I care about.

SuperBowl or bust for me. Honestly if he got outcoached in the SuperBowl I'd move on too. He should have been let go after 13 seconds and if Hamlin hadn't died he should have been fired after the Bengals playoff loss. Why would a new stadium have anything to do with the GM or HC decision? That makes no logical sense either way. Beane has given him every tool to work with. Josh is at the apex of his career and there are precious few years left of his elite play. Reality is if they make the playoffs and lose again he isn't going to get fired. We are stuck with him. Only a catastrophic season would make Pegula move on.

Good question! To be a rival in my opinion you need to be on equal footing and play meaningful games. So for the 1970's the Dolphins owned the Bills. It became a rivalry in Sept 1980 and continued through the 1990's as the teams battled for division titles and had meaningful playoff games. Pats with Brady just beat us. They were ok with Stanley, Grogan, Bledsoe and Coates but always one step below the Dolphins. Oddly though they made two SuperBowls before Brady and Marino only made it to one - mostly beacuase of losing to the Bills! Once Brady arrived we were just not competitive with them. Can't be a rival when you are losing repeatedly over a decade and a half. Jets just are never good long enough to matter even though for some reason the Jets give Josh all kinds of problems.

Good list! Each with an individual story and reason to be on the list. CJ was really hampered by injuries to the WR group in Houston - I think this is more of an entire offense to prove. Darnold will be so interesting to watch. He was bad down the stretch last year. I think the clock strikes midnight on him and he regresses terribly. Never liked Lawrence. I did like Richardson coming out of college but he looks like a complete bust. Young had one of the biggest turnarounds well maybe since Josh. Will be really interesting to see if he continues to play better. At the risk of getting banned for a week, where is McD on the list of HC's with something to prove in 2025?

Three meaningless preseason games to go that the players don't get paid to play. No need for any of them. At most one game to figure out the bottom feeders on the roster. If they don't know they top 45 players on the roster by now what is the point of training camp.

McDermott was here with Whaley but Beane was not.

It was a hard play to make. Think how bad Andrews must feel dropping that 2 pt conversion.

Josh made international news on the Daily Mail for defending Cook. Uh oh what are all you guys that post that Cook is a distraction going to say now??? They players know he deserves to get paid. Allen's comments are spot on!!!

The Mc in McBeane is McDermott thus it is his era. He was making the player decisions then and he signed off on letting Gilmore walk.

Or its an average WR that can't separate beating a #1CB that is grossly overrated by this fan base... I'm kidding...Oh wait am I? Yes I'm kidding. Great throw. Beautiful route and even better catch!

Only two outcomes are going to happen. He either gets extended or he plays week 1 under his current deal. He is not missing any game checks.

Since the OP specifically said the McBeane era, then Stephon Gilmore is the player that did the most after leaving Buffalo. It's not even close. SuperBowl win, Defensive MVP in 2019, two First team All-Pro selections in 2018 and 2019. Five time Pro Bowl selection.

I think Benford is mildly overvalued by Bills fans and severely undervalued by national media. To not even get a single mention in the national anonymous GM pole was eye opening. Makes you question what we are seeing. Benford by no measure is in Surtain's class, but he is probably no worse than 12th best starter in NFL.

Hold in means you show up and dont participate, but you don't get fined. If you hold out there is a substantial penalty for each day held out. And im pretty sure it is in the CBA that once fined the club can't just waive the fines like they did in the past.

So Cook had almost the same rush yards and more recieving yards on half the snaps. And you are asking how we think Cook is better? I mean its kind of basic math right?

3 years $38.5M fully guaranteed. Get it done.

Ah good catch. I hated both those deals.

You can't be this naïve right? I mean seriously I am not trying to be mean but do you have any idea how the NFL works? Did you complain that Josh and Shakir and Rousseau and Oliver and Benford, and Bernard all got contract extensions before their deals were done? I think the only player that hit free agency and came back to Buffalo was Milano.

Everything you said is wrong. Cook is so much better than Davis and Johnson. To even compare them is laughable. Guys don't get bothered by holdouts. They all want to get paid too. They know it is a business. They see that Cook is underpaid. They support each other. It does nothing to the culture. In any other business if you have a contract that lasts five years, the business can't just tear it up if you get hurt. How did cutting an injured Tre White affect the culture? Real men honor their contracts huh???? So why didn't the Bills honor the contracts of Tre White? Just answer that one question for me...

He just needs to go. Buffalo Joe can be LB #5 and Shaq can be LB#4
