His groin or someone else's?

I've heard of him!!! After waiving him less than 2 months ago?

So what do you make of Dalvin Cook's tweet?

I never questioned that Tampa Bay is a good team. I'm asking how "they're going to shock the world." What specifically do people envision them doing?

If KC beats the Broncos, they'll do it with Carson Wentz at QB. How are they going to do that?

Thanks for posting. I don't know, you'd have to ask Von. Probably so. Based on the spreadsheet that was linked, this probably happens hundreds of times each season across the NFL. Somewhere in the history of this repeated occurrence it's not hard to believe that there were some cases that were negotiated. Sounds like you know Von pretty well. Especially being a big name player with a big name agent, my gut feeling is that this matter has already been agreed upon by both sides. JMO. https://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/content/about-us You're not gonna get off that easy... "And playing the part of Mark Gastineau..." I'm not sure what point you're trying to make but maybe Von gives a crap.

Bills fans reasonably don't want to see the Patriots with a big windfall of draft picks to accelerate their team building as outlined below by @gjv: I heard that he has a faster 40 time than Keon Coleman.

"It really does not matter" is easy for us to say... but for the players, there is pride and recognition involved. There can also be contractual bonuses tied up to Pro Bowl recognition. Yes, arguably the biggest part of the story is the exclusion of Patrick Mahomes. Regardless of whether it's deserving or not, it's big news. Yeah, Cook is more deserving than Mixon IMO. Cook has only 58 fewer total yards in 46 fewer touches. Cook averages 5.41 yards per touch compared to Mixon's 4.71. Cook has 17 TDs to Mixon's 11. Corner is tough. As others have pointed out, ballhawking gets more votes than shutting down. Also Stingley and Surtain have name recognition as Stingley is the grandson of Darryl Stingley and Surtain's father had a great career as a cornerback in the NFL. In spite of being a great player, Benford is a virtual unknown... appreciated mostly by people who closely follow the Bills. He even went to a non-football school and had no national reputation as a 6th round pick.

You'll likely get your wish, however I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to the question. You want one of those TDs to be a reception so that the Bills break the NFL record for most players with a receiving TD in one season. I believe James Cook was named 2nd team Pro Bowl and IMO he deserved to be 1st Team. He finished behind Derrick Henry, Jonathan Taylor, and Joe Mixon. No way he should be behind Mixon. IMO Cook is an elite player and I hope you're wrong about him not getting paid by the Bills.

It appears that they've both gotten over the dry, raspy coughs they acquired during that time.

To my knowledge Kenny does not post here but he told me (back in 2012) that he reads here regularly. He also knew many of the posters by their content.

Yeah I expect Miami to win but this does add to the suspense a bit.

You're wrong. I don't want to get pissy with you but it's like playing wack a mole around here... the number of times I have to correct people about this. Tremaine doesn't turn 19 until May 2nd. (if there's a next time it'll be all capitalized)

Buffalo Joe.

Carson Wentz is starting for the Chiefs. Tyler Huntley is starting for the Dolphins. It should be interesting.

Happy New Year @scuba guy! Happy New Year everyone!!! May this be our best year... on and off the football field!!!

Whatever the market will bear... he's made $136 million in his NFL career so maybe money won't be the biggest driver when he picks his next team. If the Bills don't re-sign him we get a compensatory pick. Congratulations on accumulating an impressive personal wealth! I think the offseason emphasis was big WRs who could block and win 50/50 balls... Coleman, Hollins, and Cooper. Thank you. Earlier in this topic were contentions that there was little to no difference between the before Amari and after Amari. There's actually a big difference. IMO we got him relatively cheap and can offset that cost with a compensatory pick if we lose him. In the meantime his value has "only" been 24 catches for 250 yards and 2 TDs but as the before/after above shows, it's probably been more than just his personal stats. His first catch as a Bill was a TD that seemed to get the team rolling against Tennessee. We would not have beaten Kansas City without him... his one-handed catch on 3rd and 6 led to the first TD of the game. His 25 yard "Willie Mays catch" led to our second TD of the game. He had 6 catches for 95 yards as the spearhead against the Rams in a 42 point effort. His 3 for 3 for 56 yards and the high-point TD catch against the Jets was the kind of quiet and measured contribution that I expect to see from him as long as he's a Bill. It's similar to the Von Miller situation... we'll be better able to value him after the smoke clears on this season but in the meantime there's no question the Bills are a better team with him. That's all that matters.

How do I feel about the Bills defense going into the playoffs? Somewhere between justifiably concerned and cautiously optimistic. Yes, it's true that offenses emphasize ball security and that defenses practice takeaways but usually turnover ratio regresses to a mean average over a large sample size. The only saving grace for our defense this year has been the takeaways. In every other area they've been poor. And this is my reason for optimism, is that the Bills D is trending towards being the healthiest they've been all year... and that a lot of the younger players got meaningful experience. Other thoughts... like some have mentioned, I hope the D has a few tricks up their sleeve but with all of the injuries and young players, I'm not sure they're be able to install effective wrinkles in time for the playoffs. It's hard to pin hopes on some secret recipe. Realistically if we continue to win the turnover battle and return to health, our 3rd down defense could possibly improve enough that we can outscore our opponents in 4 straight playoff games.

I had the privilege and pleasure of meeting Kenny and his wife at a tailgate at State Farm Stadium (Phoenix) in 2012. What a gentleman and fun guy! I don't know but I'm pretty sheepish about the tailgate antics. The Bills fans definitely have a national reputation and it's not all good. The clownishness gets lots of play. For instance: That said, out here in Northern CA with the Niners having a down year and Josh being from the Central Valley, there are a lot of Bills converts. A couple of guys I work with wanted and received Buffalo Bills caps for Christmas.

It's times like this I wish we'd have re-signed Tremaine...

May I suggest... Gimbaled so you don't spill your beverage.

It's possible that some here would actually be more elusive in a wheelbarrow because they pivot on one wheel, thus having an excellent turn radius. Not throwing shade... just saying...

Though I have nothing to back this up with but my impressions, I agree with this. I'd even go so far as to say that it seems like Dawson Knox gets open running free in the secondary at a higher percentage than does Kincaid. It does make you wonder what's going on here. Was Kincaid overrated or does Brady not utilize him effectively?

1) You were willing to put yourself out there by predicting numbers 2) You held yourself accountable High marks to you, Hondo.

Boy Josh really let himself go over the holidays. Now I'm really concerned that the celebrity has gone to his head and that he's lost a step.
