  1. I will say the same weaknesses were there and they were exposed more today. Wallace is awful, with the occasional play made, except none came today. The line still is getting no pressure vs a brand new line. The OL got it handed to them. There’s still no RB on this team. Annnd there’s punting issues AGAIN. This team didn’t come to play, they sucked today.
  2. Yeah, he looked solid in preseason. Maybe it’s part of why Singletary rocked up too, his height should make him hard to find and he could bull it in too.
  3. Pretty surprised honestly, guess Gilliam is really going to be the goal line hammer.
  4. I know, it’s really disappointing. Allen’s arm is some next level stuff. Brady still zings it really well and insanely accurate, so impressive, especially at 56 years old.
  5. So imagine if you will, your defense has to cover the most productive WR in the NFL last year, 2 other 1000 yard WRS (I’m giving it to Beas for last year) who thrive in the middle of the field, but who can both go outside, and a 2nd year guy who’s 6’-2” with 4.5 speed that’s already coming off a 600 yard rookie season.. oh amd everybody else… WTF do you do?
  6. Amen, I say make sure the game is out of reach for the opponent, don’t mess around. I want to see the Patriot mentality, be up by 21 in the 4th with 10 mins to go before you even consider taking out your QB and primary weapons. Every game counts, bury them.
  7. You have a valid point there. This is exactly why I want to see them go out and step on teams, don’t leave the window open.
  8. Nobody talks about point differential if you win a championship. The ring is all that matters. Just win. Last year the Bills played against some pretty garbage teams and did what they were supposed to do, beat the snot out of them. They need to continue to do that, don’t play down, that’s how you lose. This team needs to play like the Patriots did when they were dominating. Go out, strike fear in the hearts of your opponents, bury them and don’t apologize, especially to divisional opponents. Win as many as you can, stay hated/feared and try for that ring, that’s all that matters. Having teams feel like they have to be perfect to beat you, puts pressure on them, they usually crack under that pressure.
  9. If the Bills moved to Austin, I honestly don’t think it would hurt him. Cowboys fans are as rabid as Bills fans, the only difference is they still run around talking about winning SBs 30 years ago and we still get excited over losing 4 in a row. Neither team has had any real success since those times. If anything, I suspect it might up his profits because the Bills would have better revenue coming in, sorry Buffalo, you’re not exactly the model of a city that sports teams WANT to be in. Great fans, but no real money, nor national attention. I agree the Bills should stay and don’t want to see them go anywhere. That said, if the county won’t pony up, it might happen. I could see them moved to a number of places that could absorb the cost with little issue and benefit greatly from it. Austin, Raleigh, Toronto (that would be the end for me), even Columbus OH might be interesting. The truth of the matter is the major cities all pretty much have teams, so you are looking to pick a spot where you are splitting revenues or places that have already failed, so Buffalo makes pretty good sense to stay. Really selfishly, if they do move, Raleigh/Durham NC makes a ton of sense, it’s basically WNYSouth, and the amount of real money here would fill out the stadium in a heartbeat with corporate suites etc. It would be a huge win for everyone, except Buffalo of course. I’d also have them back in a quick drive radius, so I win 😂. Everyone would be taxed less, the weather sucks less and the players would likely be closer to their preferred areas to live. That said, the college fan base hasn’t been as quick to adopt a pro team in the south, so I’m not sure if it would be nearly as “fun”.
  10. I took allen at 11 overall because the impact backs and WRs were gone. He was clearly the best available and IDGAF what the experts say, a QB that drops 45 TDs is worth more than a RB who scores 15 in most scoring systems. Once you are out of the top 5 QBs the drop off is big in terms of scoring. With Maholmes off the board and 7Rbs gone, and Adams and Diggs off the board, I’m ok with taking the best available. I still wound up with a pretty stacked roster, not loving my RBs, but there wasn’t much left.
  11. A few more years of this production, I don’t think it’s a question, he’s been arguably the best player in the league fit the last 3 years. If he stays in the top 5 for even 2 more years, and remains a big contributor for a couple after that, no debate to me, best ever. Bruce and Reggie had strong runs at the top of the league and also had a long run in the league as excellent players. At this point, Donald doesn’t have the tenure form me to crown him, but he may over take them.
  12. Guess we better start researching the 1st round QBs again for next year.
  13. I know this is hard for me as a Bills fan to grasp and perhaps even harder for the haters, but this Bills team has taken the step from “team you don’t want to play” to a top 5 team in the league. This is obviously in large part because of Allen taking an enormous leap and he’s showing no sign of slowing down. The Bills should be a favorite at home vs any team in the league and only really even be considered the underdog vs KC at Arrowhead (as of last season). I’m not saying the Steelers don’t have a chance, but this is a team you are going to come into the game knowing, you have to be perfect to beat because they will score a lot in a hurry, from anywhere on the field. Allen has to be absolutely infuriating for opposing D’s, he’s just never out of it. I love having that on our team for once lol. Now to my eye, KC is still the better team, but the Bills could take that step up IF the D-Line can generate consistent pressure and still contain the run, they can not afford to sell out to one or the other as they had to do a lot last year. It worked well enough against more 1 dimensional teams, but it was not enough against the dynamic teams, namely KC. They will also need a big step up by the LBs and a little more solid play from the secondary. Lastly, any sort of threat from the TE position in the passing game and obviously some more success in the run game would be a help to round out the team. I think the run game will be ok this year, they really sold out to the pass last year and the scheme kinda sucked for the backs, I’m hoping to see some more looks where we spread out and then hammer the run. Implementing some formations that give the backs more space should help get them going and keep the D a bit more honest. I think Daboll did a great job last year, there are areas he can take it up a notch this year and I believe he has to be aware of it.
  14. Disappointing, but I hope he gets a shot there and makes the most of it.
  15. Allen looked great yesterday, all in context, let’s just hope he comes out blazing for the regular season and doesn’t miss a beat all year.
  16. He has everything you would want in a #1 and had a really good rookie season, I don’t see why he couldn’t be a #1. Diggs is the Alpha right now, but there’s nothing stopping Davis from taking the other outside job and continuing to improve.
  17. I am so tired of the Bills having the 2nd best QB in the division. It’s pretty cool they have the best now too.
  18. Do you even get a jersey if you don’t make it to the season?
  19. I wish him the best, he seemed like a good guy for the team, worked hard and did well with his opportunities. Yes he had a memorable drop, but that happens, bummer for him that it ends for now at least. Hopefully, he finds a new team and some opportunity to play.
  20. Tyrod threw/throws on of the prettiest deep balls in the league, he’s never been in the conversation of strongest arms. Tight spiral and arch is everything. The stronger arm might push it a little further, but catchable and nicest looking, rarely goes to the strongest arm. Rodgers has probably the best deep ball ever from the strong arm guys, in fairness, probably the best passes ever from a strong arm guy in almost all categories, still doesn’t mean his fast ball is the fastest.
  21. Yeah, stupid lump of accuracy with strength, means nothing anyway.
  22. Well, I qualified that with being “productive” which none of the freaks are, outside of Metcalf, but he hasn’t reached the level of Diggs etc.
