Then why has Burrow been able to get through it? His offensive line in his first two years was terrible. Sacked 9 times in a playoff game. He was sacked constantly in their 0-2 start last year.Losing confidence in the OL means you throw downfield into double coverage? It means you don’t throw the underneath route and force things?
People see different issues with Josh's play. One of them is leaving the pocket too early way too often. As clearly stated, my post was addressing that concern.
In that regard, Josh and Burrow are hardly comparable due to their different skill sets / athletic abilities.

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.

He heard it secondhand during some kind of NFL media zoom call. The media member who allegedly actually heard this brought it up.
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.

Are all the overreactors going to reel themselves back in now? Or are we going with "why would someone in a lawsuit ever make ***** up" lol.
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.

is this a quote from like 10 years ago?
Doesn't seem relevant to me. They didn't really get much better with zimmer's aggressive defense the next season.
I have never believed Frazier was not doing in part what McDermott wanted. If you become a head coach based on something you did to get you hired you are not just going to let someone else run that unit without your final say on things.
time will tell and hopefully they pick their spots to be more aggressive but I am not anticipating this large change many seem to believe is coming.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.

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.

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

I didn’t say cut Martin. I said to keep a second punter or get the NFL to make a roster exception for the Bills to carry Araiza.
I dont give a flying crap about allegations. America is about due process, always has been and should be. Do the right thing or the universe will make that decision for us.
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.

RT looks BAD
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.

From what I understand, estate taxes can be between 20% and 40% of the value of the estate, so in order for the children to own the team they would need to be able to pay a tax of well over $1 billion in cash. That's the biggest issue with the team remaining in the family sometime hopefully long, long into the future.
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.

Lol
My points are "pretty backward"? Please see bold above...
Yikes.
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.

To me it’s not about if it’s right or wrong
It’s do you want the Buffalo Bills in Buffalo…. That is the only question for western New Yorkers and New Yorkers to ask
I say yes … To me the Buffalo Bills being here for my children children is absolutely worth it
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?

Your assumption is that the NFL has all it’s franchises in one whole league like it is? What if the top 10 US populations NFL teams want to go Global instead of Green Bay, Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Cleveland? The Los Angeles and the Dallas owners could do it and there is little Terry Pegula can do about it either meet the minimum standard requirements of NFL Global League or he is out most likely given a buyout like the minor league baseball contractions to take the money than given the choice of running NFL2 domestic league or just folding the Buffalo Bills franchise. The NFL Global League can do that the Buffalo Bills need to meet the requirements like the Buffalo Bisons did or get contracted like the New York Penn League and Batavia Mutdogs went bye, bye. No Federal or Local Government is stopping that. They will huff and puff for political grandstanding but the sports business industry will do what they want and no one is stopping them. Just remember that keep up financially or get out is there business practices in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go BuffaloWell, 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.

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.

Man, I have never stated that Josh stays in the pocket too long. Have some coffee and re-read my posts.
