Just get the "Amazon Cube" and you will have absolutely have no issues seeing ANY Bills / NFL game, on ANY channel, ANYWHERE in the world. Completely legitimate and completely legal. That goes for every sport, every event, every sitcom / movie, every channel, in EVERY country around the globe - no exceptions! If its broadcast on television (Live or recorded), anywhere on the planet, the Amazon Cube delivers - every time. That's my experience anyway. The days of missing your Bills games are over if you have the cube. Further, its about the size of a rubix cube, so you can take it anywhere with you, all you need is a HDMI cable and a smart tv / computer to connect it to. For example, I take the cube with me when I travel and connect to my hotel tv and watch whatever I want.
Here in Hawaii, I watch Buffalo and Rochester television live all the time, with commercials. Nothing makes me feel more at home than seeing a commercial for "Lisa's Liquor Barn" here in Hawaii - I get a kick out of it! Simple pleasures are the best!

In my opinion, when Brian Daboll moved on, that's when Isaiah Mckenzie lost his impact.

And for those of us living on the west coast it ends up being a 6am game!
And for those of us in Hawaii, a 3am game.
Usually it’s 7am in Hawaii on a normal NFL weekend.
Was 2am Monday mornings when I used to be in South Korea with the US Army, Monday morning at work was no joke!-

Their draft history really isn't that impressive before last season since the Mahomes pick if you go back and look at it. Their only home run was Humphrey and they wasted a first round pick on a RB. I won't dig too far into the weeds but I don't consider them a superior team in either of the last two seasons like you claimed.
Good points, no need to get into their draft history- I’m mostly familiar with KC draft efforts. But KC just won the SB - so I need to rate them as superior.

It's a faulty narrative imo that under McDermott "rookies usually don't play so much." It has more to do with Beane built a complete enough roster to the point a rookie (even highly drafted) has started day one and/or unforeseen circumstances prevented McDermott from playing recent day 1 and 2 picks as often as he did his first three seasons here.
Just look at the playing time their rookie season for players drafted in the first three rounds since McDermott took over.
2017- T. White, Zay Jones, and Dawkins all started the majority of the season.
2018 - Allen was a starter after they watched Peterman for half a game. Edmunds started right away. Phillips was part of the defensive rotation the whole season.
2019 - Oliver started right away. Ford started in a rotation before becoming the full time starter at RT. Singletary split the workload with Gore. Knox played in every game and started 11 of them.
2020 - Epenesa played in ten games. Moss split the workload with Singletary.
2021 - Rousseau was part of the rotation in all 17 games. Basham played in eight games. Spencer Brown was the starter at RT after week 3.
2022 - Elam was a rotational player for most of the year alternating with either Benford or Jackson. Cook's workload increased as the year went on. Benford - wth was Beane thinking with that pick?
Thanks for your feedback. The narrative you laid out makes sense, but I still disagree, here’s why. The KC Chiefs for several years now are also a superior team, have a mostly loaded roster, and still get extensive playing time / contributions from their rookie draft picks, and not just the high end picks but even their late round additions. It’s frustrating when the Bills spend three picks on running backs, (3 years in a row, a 3rd D Singletary, a 3rd on Z Moss, a 2nd on Cook) and still have an unknown status at the position. Meanwhile, Chiefs draft a 7th round rookie RB and he meets their needs, (all the while, chiefs, eagles and others spend premium picks on lineman - but I’m deviating to a whole other topic, a sore topic for me). Same with their center, Claude Humphrey, an immediate starter. To be clear, I’m not complaining about the Bills as a whole, (leadership, cap management, free agency, and the list goes on…. Are all exceptional). I’m frustrated and puzzled by their draft philosophy and lack of production from rookie draft picks. It’s important to get players who out-play their contracts. I see other superior teams doing it, but not the Bills, and honestly I can’t stand it! And it bothers me a lot bc I love the community and the team, not because I’m trying to be some internet troll. That’s my take, again thanks for your feedback - that took some effort and I appreciate it!! Mahalo!! (That’s Thank you in Hawaiian)

It’s getting to the point where spring begins and I’m just getting over the annual playoff loss depression. I’m excited about this season because we aren’t the Super Bowl favorites. Last year was stressful for me as a fan because I joined in on those Super Bowl expectations. This year is going to be a fun ride because the expectations aren’t to an extreme. We will see a new team - a new DC, most likely a new defensive philosophy, rookies, and some beefy new blood on the O-line/D-line.
Schedule release day has become one of my favorite days of the year because once the schedule comes out i can start planning my September - December. Let’s talk about it here!
"We will see a new team - a new DC, most likely a new defensive philosophy, rookies, and some beefy new blood on the O-line/D-line." I have to disagree, mostly, here's why:
- A new DC, most likely a new defensive philosophy: Coach McDermott would only employ a Defensive Coordinator who follows the same philosophy as he does. I don't see a new philosophy. I do see expect to see some additional sense of urgency on defense - Coach McDermott, as HC, will not be outdone by a "mere" coordinator (Leslie Frazier).
- Rookies: For coach McDermott, rookies usually don't play so much. Additionally, in the last 4 years our draft picks have been quite underwhelming, I don't expect this year to be much different. Last years rookies, I look forward to seeing the potential growth there.
- Some beefy new blood on the O-line: I concur with you here, I just wish we would have used our 3rd pick on a OT (See KC Chiefs).
- Some beefy new blood on the D-line: I must have missed this memo. Who is the "beefy new blood" here? Other than Poona Ford, no new blood on the d-line and Poona is definitely undersized for an NFL interior d-lineman. What did I miss?Thoughts?

Sorry if anyone has linked this thread earlier but if not, here it is. Lets see who amongst us rushed to judgment:
Happy to say I was absolutely on the right side of this issue, and the proof is in this thread - thanks for finding and posting. I got absolutely blasted for it too, by some nut-job with serious mental issues - cant recall her handle / screen name. Happy for Matt!

The Bills did nothing wrong. I respect that Beane didn't jump on the bandwagon, I could tell that he found it difficult to let Araiza go after the Bills had run their own investigation and found nothing incriminating. But there was a black cloud hanging over the team after the allegation came out and it just isn't worth holding on to a punter with that kind of baggage. I just hope he gets his NFL career back.
"...I could tell that he found it difficult to let Araiza go..."
I have no proof, (But these days, who needs proof, right?) but I strongly suspect team ownership forced the GM's hand - just to avoid backlash from those who make the most noise and to present the appearance that they are on the right side of the issues.
What a pathetic sequence of events.
May those who falsely judged Matt Araiza be judged the same way when they face a personal crisis.

Isaiah Simmons has played the majority of his snaps at OLB and CB, but has played 508 snaps at MLB for the Cards. I would assume that's a sufficient sample size of plays at MLB for a reasonable evaluation. The Cardinals have declined his 5th-year option. Simmons' salary for next season is an affordable 1.4 mil with a cap hit of 6.5 mil. Should his 508 snaps at MLB show well, perhaps a trade for Simmons would be the Bill's answer at MLB for next season.?
Definitely a reasonable proposal and something I hope our Bills at least conduct some research on. Additionally, I don’t think the Cardinals organization has the structure in place for players to achieve the “best version of themselves” (As we so often hear about with the Bills). Based on that alone this situation deserves some analysis.

Most overrated coach of all time. Only one Super Bowl win and appearance with that defense is pathetic. Horrible coaching job with the Saints. Hell of a player though.

Yikes, to this point, I’m only one who voted, “This team still needs way too much help for me to be confident.”
My rationale:- Poor overall draft strategy, year after year.
- Too much reliance on Josh Allen.- Consistently under value Offensive line play.

Cook as trade bait?....... kidding, kidding......or am I?
Trade him for a 3rd. Another perfect example of the Bills “playing chess while the rest of the league is playing checkers.” For those of you who really believe that.

After stoically enduring two decades of slings and arrows from the worst fan base in professional sports, I do admit to feeling a small amount of pleasure when I see Patriot fans despairing as they find their team deep in the basement of the AFCE with no realistic prospects to turn things around anytime soon. It was bad enough for them watching Josh Allen steal their lunch money, but now they find themselves in a division with the Jets and Dolphins firmly entrenched above them as well.
The Pats finished below .500 last year at 8 - 9. This year Vegas has their over under win total at 7.5. I don't think it would surprise anyone if they they lose every AFCE game this season. In a QB driven league they have a fair to middling game manager under center. They will continue to win enough games to avoid the very top of the draft where they can draft a marquee QB prospect.
Gone are the years when great vets would take a discount to come to New England to try to win a ring with Tom and Belichick. Now there is a diminishing Belichick with no Tom and zero chance to win a championship. Belichick is not adapting to the modern game and didn't even have an OC last year during Mac Jones' sophomore season to help him develop.
Reports are that those two are on the outs after Mac reached out to his Alabama coaches for help last season behind Bill's back. Bill is great friends with Nick Saban and you know Bill feels humiliated with his QB going behind his back to ask Saban for advice.
As a long suffering Bills fan, I won't wish any active evil on the Patriots, but I will take some modicum of pleasure in watching them flail and flounder for the next few seasons as Belichick slowly fades away taking the franchise and their horrible fans down with him.
Pats fans had an incredible run and many believed that riding atop the AFCE and NFL was their birthright. Well, the wheel turns and the Pats are now AFCE and NFL basement dwellers, and it couldn't have happened to a nicer group of people.
I agree with the entire post - with one exception. In my assessment, Eagles "fans" are far more ignorant than any other fan base in the USA, and maybe even on the planet?
IIRC, I've been able to speak rationally with all Patriots fans, sure they rub it in and hoot and holler - that's fine. Eagles fans, for the most part, are only seeking violence and destruction wherever they go. Plus, the "Fly Eagles Fly" chant, (Which barely a fraction of their fanbase were even "singing" or aware of just 10 years ago) sounds dopey.
Thanks be to God that I'm part of such a smart fan base; Bills Mafia. Oh that's right, we had a ridiculous debate in the "LeSean McCoy vs Jim Kelly" thread questioning if JK was really a good guy or not - still shaking my head over that one. Anyway, GO BILLS!

Best, most realistic, thoughtful mock draft I have seen anywhere on the internet - and I read them all!! Thanks for all your efforts here and sharing with the rest of the TBD team!!

I'm glad he believes that. I also think we are going to see a lot fewer 3wr sets this year.
What makes you think so (That we are going to see a lot fewer 3wr sets this year)?
I hope you're right, I just have nothing to base it on. Further, I hope our base formation is the 2 TE set, I would love that! Anyway, thanks for any feedback you can provide about fewer 3wr sets....I would like to know what brought you to that conclusion.

The comments here, to this specific post - attempting to denigrate Jim Kelly, have to be some of the most ignorant on the entire internet.
For Jim Kelly’s critics, what makes you so perfect ? What have you accomplished? What makes you superior to him?Sure, JK has had flaws, he’s admitted it, shared some regrets, and since then has contributed FAR more to the Western NY community than most. To be blunt, if you’re a critic of Jim Kelly, you’re a total loser! And if the moderators here need to ban me for it, so be it. But anyone with an ounce of sense knows I’m right. Cant believe this nonsense is even being discussed - especially here in a Bills fan forum no less.
For those too young to remember or to have observed, Jim Kelly has donated a tremendous amount of his time, money, resources, friendship and personal concern to many, many thousands of Western New York residents. For that, he will always be loved and admired, and in this case be defended -at least by me!-

Kelly has always been kind of a dumbass. And McCoy is right, four time loser.
Sure, because you have lived a perfect life, and your accomplishments, far too many to mention.

Government hours, government benefits, and living in Hawaii! Congrats to you, friend. You have it figured out and I am jealous. And while I agree that mock drafts can be riduculous and a waste time, for some, it's entertainment and it's OK for people who are interested to spend time looking at them, preparing them, etc. For me, I will occasionally look at them, for two reasons a) just to get an idea of who are the consensus top players out there; and b) to forumate my own opinions on who the Bills might be interested in. I don't invest a lot of time in them, but I don't have a lot of free time to begin with.
I know you wont believe it, but I'm jealous of you (Assuming you're in the Western NY area?) In fact, I'm planning to leave Hawaii as soon as possible to go retire in Rochester / Webster NY. And further, Western NY is where I go on vacation 1-2 times per year. Who would think that - right ? LOL.

I I'm not first in line save my spot for me.
Will do.
On a somewhat more serious note, I see some people giving others grief for looking ahead to future drafts. Speaking for myself only, I like to look ahead for a few reasons:
- I know Bills management is looking ahead, and being a fan of the team I enjoy speculating what they may be planning / observing.
- Future mock drafts (1-2 years out) give me an idea who to pay attention to in college football. So many teams, so little time, the future mock drafts help me to narrow my focus when watching the college FB action.
- On a personal level, I enjoy the planning process. In fact, I do it for a living for the US Government here in Hawaii. So that extends to my hobbies like following the Bills.
