    If, and only If, Terry stipulates that the new owner has to keep the team in Buffalo will have to take a lot less for it.

    I am beginning to think that the only thing between the Sabres relocating and not right now is the disparity in the fee the NHL collects for a new franchise vs a relocation.  Currently $2 Billion via $200 Million.  I would not be at all surprised that Terry is looking for an exit ramp from the Sabres nightmare, but easier said than done.

    Have a feeling he'll find a way to stay on the field this season

    Even if he plays 7 games, like the last few years, they are better. The Bills are competing for the bye. If he contributes to 1 win, we’d be better off with him elsewhere.

    Even when he was playing the last couple of years he was not the same player as his reputation.  This is a big nothing burger.  

  3. The Steelers are even a less talented team than the Jets were on offense.  Poor OL, one decent receiver, no RB, mediocre TE, and oh by the way, a seriously over the hill QB who cannot even spell team.  This will not end well, not that I care.

    I get it, we all want a SB title. I even mentioned that I hope this success leads to at least one title.

     

    But, why does every good thing they do get negated with “doesn’t mean much, no title”. 

    With the examples I’m about to list, please know I’m not saying you’ve said all of these, I’m just giving examples:

    -Five straight AFCE titles - “Yeah, but, no titles”

    -McD best winning percentage coach in Bills history - “Doesn’t mean much”

    -JA NFL MVP - “Yeah, but no ring”

    -Highest scoring offense and fewest points allowed defense over five years - “Doesn’t mean anything”

     

    I want a title just as much as the next Bills fan, but it doesn’t mean there’s been no good things that have happened and that this team hasn’t had a great run. There’s still things to celebrate.


    If everything is based on a title no sports franchise is successful because everyone has way more years without titles than they do with titles.

     

    We all want a title, but it’s still been a great five years for the Bills and our fan base.

     

    Go Bills!

     

     

    Good one, Doc. Thanks for laying down the ground rules! 😃🤣

    It’s a shame that some people seem to be missing what is and should continue to be a historic run.  We all want to see this team cement its legacy with a championship.  That may or may not happen, but I am enjoying the hell out of this ride.

    I doubt white is cut considering his 2.2m dead cap vs Danes 500k, but we’ve seen Oj Howard cut with a 3M dead cap so 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

    It would not shock me if White ends up being a late cut and is the signed to the practice squad.  There is value in that for the Bills, and the investment is sunk cost anyway.

    Just caught new S&C coach Will Greenberg on Eric Wood's Centered on Bufffalo podcast.  Found it very interesting 

     

     

    It was clearly an intention of the Bills this year to upgrade their strength and conditioning program.  It is almost as if they noticed we got pushed around at times last year.

    Based on what evidence? People say this all the time but just say "trust me, bro". It isn't the 80s and 90s anymore. These guys get busted and suspended today for a huge list of random substances.

    They also know when the tests are going to be if they have not previously tested positive and what the banned substances are.  It can be managed so as not to get suspended which is what they do.  Sometimes, they get something they were not expecting which leads to a positive result.

    He's also a skeevy little creeper and apparently always has been.

    True, except he is not looking so little.  Looking pretty chubby actually.  I guess he likes to hit up the buffet with Cardi when he is not banging skanks and snorting illicit powders.

    Bruce played more regular season games his last two seasons in Buffalo (31) than Bosa has in his last three (28).

     

    Bruce hardly ever missed regular season games, while Bosa has missed a lot of regular season games.

    I think we all understand that Bosa has an injury history, but thanks for pointing it out anyway.  The point I was making is that this is meaningless to his ability to be ready and meaningless as far as anything concerning the regular season.  If there is an injury at all it is likely equivalent to a scratch, like Smith’s every year pre season injury.    It’s an excuse for his non participation, which is not needed anyway at this time.  

  10. This is such a non story.  For a point of reference, after his first few years, Bruce Smith literally never had an off season/training camp where he did not have an “injury” excusing his non participation.  Joey Bosa does not need the physical reps.  I would actually be questioning the sanity of the Bills coaches if they did not put Bosa  firmly on the sideline until such time as his participation would actually be productive, which is certainly not before training camp.

    One of the online editors was active on twitter a few years ago.  They are getting hard drives up until about 4 hours before air time and like 3 hours before they lock picture.  

     

    The Bills and any other team have never been involved in anything with the editing.  I believe there are agreed upon terms before this starts and through the years has been mastered essentially.  There is never any game plan discussion or reveals visually of plays etc.  I believe all scouting and trade discussions, things of the sort are not used unless cleared ahead of time also.

     

    as an editor myself, sitting here at the moment in front of Avid Media Composer it would be 110% impossible to work with such tight deadlines and have input from various people who work for a team.  Its just not possible.   

     

    I am sure The various directors/EP's and Online Editors get plenty of feedback from the team and the league.  

     

    Last year's hard knocks was boring.  There was literally nothing interesting.  

     

    These must be a lot fun to be on the editing crew, the montages look like fun.  The amount of B Roll and clips in the bins by the time they get to the 3rd or 4th episode must be overwhelming.  

     

    and just to nitpick something you said in an earlier post, They absolutely have pre production meetings on storylines.  While the episodes will be cut organically allowing the narrative to fall into place if you will, the key points / main story has been mapped as an outline in some regard.  

     

    They always follow the same formula.  

     

    Attach a narrative to an undrafted free agent.

    Attach a narrative to the team as a whole and their place in the league, this is where all the stadium, chicken wings, niagara falls, Pegula family story will be.

    Attach a narrative to Josh Allen....all encompassing.

     

    Dive into Key free agent signings and players who were drafted.

     

    Then they always have the kooky guy, Dion dawkins is perfect for this....the all business guy, Milano is perfect for this.

     

    Traditionally they will go the route of having a Veteran who is trying to hang on juxtaposed to a younger player taking his job or pushing him....perfect spot for a tre,Benford, Hairston story or Cam lewis fighting off hancock. etc.

     

    And of course they always have the my mom pushed me in a wheelbarrow up hill 10 miles every morning to every practice story for the sentimental stuff and the bills have the most intriguing sentimental story on the roster maybe ever in Damar Hamlin.   

     

    So all that to say, the camera crews will be directed to go get lots of stuff.  Then the editors and producers will work it into an organic story in the edit as they all are.

     

    There is a ton of story in the buffalo bills.  They have 100 year old marv levy, Cancer survivor Jim Kelly, A celebrity newlywed, an incredible fan base, a nice setting in rochester (pittsford) etc.  Then of course guys get hurt, guys get cut etc.  If they have to do this hopefully it is better than the bears last year, that was terrible.  

    I agree with your take on the storylines, but I think the Cook situation could also be on the table.  While interesting, blowing it up in public would be bad.  Hope I am just being paranoid.

    A decent wing doesn’t need to be dipped into anything. 
     

    It’s like a good steak. If you’re using a condiment, you’re either 7 or your steak is no good. 

    With you on the steak.  No way on the wings.

    If we trade Epenesa, I’d certainly be open to bringing back Von.

     

    Not sure if there’s much of a market for AJ at that cap hit, but if we can get a pick for him, given we have no comp picks lined up, and then slot back in Von as a rotational guy who can continue to work with Solomon and help mentor Jackson.. seems like it makes sense. 

    I would rather have Epenesa than Von at this point without question.

    I hope for his sake that a change of scenery and new voices coaching him help. At times he just looked nervous as hell out there to me, knowing they were going to come at him. My older son had that look in HS when they played Pahokee and their future NFL players in the state playoffs. Scared as hell I tell you!  😂

     

    He’s got physical tools, but maybe he needs some peace between his ears. 

    He needs something between his ears but I am not sure it’s peace.  Good luck to him, but I would not expect much if I were a Cowboys fan.

    First of all, this is just click bait speculation by the “writer”.  Second, I am not sure how it would be bad news for the Bills.  I am pretty certain that the bills OL is intimately familiar with all his moves and he no longer has the pure speed around the corner to threaten.  Have at it Baltimore, but I doubt it.
