If he has options, I don’t see Gabe jumping at an opportunity to compete for WR4/5 while likely signing a vet minimum. if he’s going to sign for that, he might as well pick a situation where he’ll get a chance to prove himself. If he returns to Buffalo, I think it happens later this summer because of injuries or if Coleman hasn’t made the progress they are hoping for. Plus Gabe has an injury now, and it might make more sense for him to try out at full strength

Wasted opportunity with your title: ”Can Da Pope save Da Bears”

I’ll pass…DE is a position where there’s a ton of competition already. I don’t need a major role for Clowney this season.

I’m not the biggest Kincaid fan, but I will let the season play out and not overreact from one photo. BUT if he can’t improve with his blocking from last season, it’s going to be really hard for him to get many more snaps. At this point, it’s looking like his ceiling might be close to a player like Dalton Schultz

Last week at the draft either EDC or Harbaugh said the same thing - no matter what they do it will be a “football decision.” Makes you wonder whether this is a proactive attempt to save them from any potential legal action if the allegations go unfounded

Ranking The Last 25 Years of Week 1 Opening Games
JohnNord replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall
If anything, this list tells me that week 1 is a liar 🤣 Still, there’s been some really openers. I was glad to see 2019 ranked highly. Up until that point, most assumed that Allen and Darnold were going in opposite directions. I remember thinking how Buffalo never was able to win games when facing a large deficit. Coming back from that 16-0 hole was huge. -
What is your favorite totally random Bills game?
JohnNord replied to T.E.'s topic in The Stadium Wall
I was downtown at a bar with some friends, that were not Bills fans. I was assuming an ass kicking was in order and had been bracing myself for the 💩 I was going to be getting that day. By the end, they were like “Wow, the Bills are legit this season.” Little did we know… -

I have a great one. Buffalo versus NYG, opening night on Sunday Night Football on TNT in 1996. Game was not that memorable. Bills won 23-20 with an OT field goal by Christie. Just remember it because I watched with my dad and we celebrated once the kick went through. And yes, I was at the home game against Miami. Before I even got to my seat Williams had scored and it was 7-0. Once Moulds caught that TD pass I remember the PA announcer playing “Let it Snow” as a very light snowfall started moments earlier. The entire stadium was signing let it snow. It was a great moment and a textbook example of the amazing game experience for fans in December -
This really isn’t true. Lorenzo White was a pretty good running back and he gained over 1,200 yards in 1992. In 1993 his replacement due to injury Gary Brown went for over 1,000.

Elijah Moore Visiting the Bills today (Update: Signed!)
JohnNord replied to bills742's topic in The Stadium Wall
The amount of guaranteed money will determine how likely he is to make the roster. IMO he doesn’t sign with Buffalo without having a reasonable assurance. I think he takes a lot of snaps on the outside, especially considering that I don’t think will see a different version of Keon Coleman than we saw last season His problem was route running and not getting separation a lot more than it was missing contested catches. -
Defensive line after Camp, then after suspended players return?
JohnNord replied to Mikie2times's topic in The Stadium Wall
AJ has been a decent pass rusher. His problem is he stinks at setting the edge and has often been a liability in the run game. He’s also a free agent at the end of the season and I’d argue he could have some lower level trade value. Solomon is probably a better pass rusher than AJ while also being worse against the run. The difference is that he has potential as a pass rush specialist and he’s under contract for 2 seasons. I don’t think Buffalo it will be as easy for Buffalo to cut ties with Solomon as you suggest. But he is going to have to have a really strong preseason -

It’s going to get really tough after the suspended players get back. Ogunjobi’s money is guaranteed and Hoecht has a multi-year deal so they are safe. I think that the draft put DeWayne Carter on notice. Beane essentially drafted two players which could be replacement. He now needs to stick on as a 1TDT. He was not good at this position last season, so I feel it’s an upward climb for him. He really needs to show something. I think Epinesa and Solomon might be fighting for a spot as well. Bills might be able to trade AJ or they can just cut him after June 1. For Daquan to get cut - the rookie DT’s and Carter really need to stand up in the preseason. If I had to guess, I would assume Carter gets cut. I think they may keep Solomon over Carter. -
Miami Herald: Dolphins players have turned on McDaniel
JohnNord replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think this is completely correct. It’s kind of bizarre too because initially he dropped like 25 pounds after the concussion season and played the entire year. Then he showed up to camp significantly heavier to “absorb contact.” It just seemed like a recipe for disaster. I think part of what the Dolphins offense so scary was threat of Hill and Waddle to take it to the house. Plus Tua was very good at throwing with anticipation to fast receivers who could track the passes. Last season, Miami seemed content to check down or Jonnu Smith or Achane. It moved the sticks but it also removed the hardest element of the offense to stop. -

Does this give them a change to re-sign him with the Bills offer 1-year $4M? -
Is there an NFL team with a weaker WR group than the Bills?
