I'm not buying the it's pretty much all on Josh narrative. For instance, I do agree, to address one of the concerns, that he may give up on standing in the pocket a little longer a bit too often, but I don't remember Brady having his RT pushed into his lap in such an embarrassing fashion in half a second either. Once you lose confidence in some of your guys, it's hard to revert the process. It becomes second nature. Josh has his own faults, but changes around him have to happen, in the form of personnel, play calling, or drastic performance improvement, possibly all of the above, to get him back in a confort zone.

Since it allegedly happened during a video call, I would ask the "media member" if he remembers Terry doing anything in particular while making that statement. If the witness mentions anything about nose blowing and picking, he is likely saying the truth and Terry is guilty.

Exactly. Bills fans should remember what happened with Araiza. Pump on those brakes once upon a time.

It's like Terry said the silent part out loud.

Well, Jets or Bills, it makes no difference. I'm tired of any off-season hype. It's time to play some meaningful football and let it do the talking.

I would tend to agree. Besides, it would have simply been negligent on McD's part to just stand there and witness his defense being sliced up time and time again by top offenses if he had such a radically different idea. I'm anticipating some changes, hopefully more aggressiveness (not that it takes much) but not the night and day contrast that some seem to expect.

Hard to take a definitive stance right now, but if I have to I would say to let him go either way (regardless of his performance). With no DL signed beyond this season and other more pressing needs that might pop up before next season, I feel they should allocate their cap elsewhere. That's especially true if Kincaid turns out to be as good as expected.

B.

Hard to disagree on McBeane having done a rather decent job on the "culture" side of things (although with a tad too much blame deflection on a few occasions). Yet, there still is that evil side of me that would be totally fine with having a couple of players who serve some minor jail time if that came with winning a Superbowl.

I'm not sure he has all the physical skills either. His athleticism is made less effective or impactful by his lack of size.

Even from a merely football perspective, how many punters in the NFL have the ability to flip the field position that this kid seems to have? I would definitely bring him to camp and figure out any possible final roster implication later on.

Hard to disagree. On paper, RT looks like the weakest spot, but McBeane have been pretty straightforward in stating that they expect Brown to bounce back and take the next step forward in his career, and that's what they are left with. To an extent, that's a bet that may make or break our chances to go as deep as we hope for into the off-season. One more reason to carry 10.

Perhaps being Kincaid some kind of WR/TE hybrid they can save a spot there and carry 10 OLs rather than the usual 9. Dawkins Doyle McGovern Broeker Morse Bates Torrence Edwards Brown Quessenberry Everyone else goes to the PS or is cut.

Another aspect adding complexity to the situation is that by that time the team may be worth half, if not more, the total inheritance, making a shared ownership the only viable option. That's certainly possible but my personal experience is that family businesses should be run by an odd number of family members, and three is too many.

Nope. They'll just sprinkle some Viagra on the canopy.

Backward or not, your theory certainly isn't validated by the Bills themselves. I would venture to say that if there is one thing that anyone, from pundits to casual fans, could easily agree upon when it comes to the Bills, is that they're a rather soft team. So much that their QB is indisputably their toughest, most physical player. So unless going through something like the Hamlin's scare and totally s**tting the bed afterwards is the definition of not being soft, yeah playing in the elements did pretty much nothing to make the Bills a though or physical team.

I am afraid this deal isn't doing much when it comes to keeping the Bills in Buffalo for your children's children. The real and only winner here is Terry Pegula. He gets to outlay as little as possible while keeping the Bills where he wants until it's time to pass the torch in let's say 15-20 years. That, in my opinion, is one, albeit not the only one, reason why he is going for a rather basic stadium on the cheapest possible location. His financial commitment must be in line with the projected lifespan of his investment. What happens once he is out of the picture will have to be seen. No one knows and perhaps shouldn't even care at this stage, but it's gonna be a rather interesting situation. Will his five children all agree on sharing ownership of the team AND keeping it in Buffalo? It sure appears there won't be enough dough left for only one of them to keep the team and still be a multi-billionaire, and they seem to care about preserving their lifestyle. Pray for Terry to have a long and healthy life.

Nothing personal against Lawson, but if you were to re-sign him, considering that you can only have so many active DEs and the rest of the D is essentially the same minus Edmunds, where would the upgrade to the pass rush be coming from? McD defensive genius alone?

Well, Bills fans in WNY better jump through as many folding tables as possible while they still can... Seriously though, a similar attempt to start a sort of super league was recently put to rest, at least for the time being, in European soccer. The public outrage that followed once the proposal came to light simply outmatched any financial incentives. The international push from the NFL will likely entail more and more games played abroad by US-based teams. If those "internationalisation" efforts go according to plan, you may end up in a situation in which a team like Buffalo could one day have a larger (extended) fan base than one based in Houston or Atlanta. Sure, some people abroad may still be fascinated by the appeal, real or perceived, of locations such as LA or Miami, and therefore be inclined to become fans of their teams, but generally speaking a dude sitting in Frankfurt, London or Tokyo couldn't care less.

And elect another figurehead as director of the approval of the approval committee.

This is the prototypical win-win situation. Edmunds gets paid and the Bills get the chance to preserve or even improve production at MLB at a lower cost. It's up to Beane to make the most out of the situation.

As someone has already stated, hopefully everything is well in the health department. That's priority #1. If he is fine, this is good news, not so much because Frazier was the only or even the main reason for the lack of success when it really mattered, but because it may (hopefully) be a sign of a willingness to change, to do things differently from McBeane that may carry on during the draft and free agency.

They could compensate for all that energy waste by celebrating an extra Pride day.

I hear you, but this is an almost entirely different topic. Amongst the parties involved, I think Terry is the big winner here. He gets to outlay as little as possible for the new stadium while keeping the Bills where he wants for a reasonably long time, likely for as long as he will be able to function as an owner. He has 5 children and who knows if they'll ever find an agreement on whether to keep, sell, or possibly move the team somewhere else once it's their decision to make. I would venture to guess that their emotional attachment to Buffalo is less than Terry's or Kim's. Terry is a wise business man and this is the cheapest bandaid he could buy. That being said, I'll go back to my original point. It appears to me that the fans in Minnesota, to name a somewhat comparable market, got significantly more value for money with their stadium, with a roofed structure and much bolder and distinctive design and solutions.

It's pretty much a copy of the Tottenham Stadium with Bills logos slapped on it. There is nothing horribly wrong with that, as the original one seems to be known for its great sightlines and amazing gameday atmosphere, which is pretty much what most Bills fans wanted. It just looks very vanilla and underwhelming from a design perspective, and it is somewhat disappointing they can only get something so uninspiring and unoriginal for that kind of money. They better engineer state-of-the-art vomitoriums in that thing.
