The best ability is availability

I do think there is merit in having them play a bit, clearly so does the coach. But I would be shocked if Allen took the field, marched the team down for a score of any kind and saw the field again. Yes I think there needs to be instructions... no JA running, quick passes, and throw the ball in the sidelines if any pressure. I really worry about our OL if we go heavy run too... fingers crossed. I hate pre season and pre season injury risks.

I can totally see that if Philly doesnt make noise this year.

Cant read it but I appreciate the highlights... Claypool being released would be disappointing only because I had hoped he would throttle a position and emerge as a real contributor. If Collins makes it over Clapp hopefully that means he is showing some semblance of his old form and not that he is the lesser of two evils... I would also be surprised if McD only kept 4 DT, he loves him some DT...

Straight up did not know that... I appreciate the info... weird that he would get into a situation where Stefanik was going to call the plays... but I guess he was looking for an OC job.

and why did you hire him Marv? (Sorry Marv's coaching hires outside of Marchibroda have always been a sore point with me)

Were you at the one on main near the airport or in Orchard Park. I would also say that bar bills wings for like different flavors, Sicilian, Garlic parm stuff like that are great. But for me an traditional wings... I am going Duffs, Elmo's Anchor... Gabriels gate is also good.

I was literally scolling to post as long as it isnt Rueben I am fine when I saw this LOL

Good question on signature win... I mean that LAR game has to be in the conversation maybe the Titans or the Steelers games in 2022... I dunno... and yeah I think he was competent but overall unimpressive certainly no innovator. Lets see what he does in Cleveland, lets see if he adjusts his approach based on the changes he saw in Buffalo after he left... he adjusts and improves he has a chance to be above average , he doesnt he wont even be average I think he wont be an OC in two years.

LOL he's only 14 let him grow into his body 😆

This should be interesting... he was a young OC who did a fairly good job, certainly not incompetent but I wouldnt call him an innovator either. I think he got wrapped in the makes Diggs happy situation (maybe Josh a little bit too) and the offense quickly got figured out as defenses focused on Diggs. Dorsey leaves and the offense spreads it around, has a more focused running game (including Josh) and begins to succeed again. I wonder, and I know if I were him I would, if he doesnt look back at that see what changed and grow a bit from it.... again, should be interesting in Cleveland... then again with DW who knows how this goes.

Indeed LOL!

large ones and a hat too LOL.

this whole thing is scary lol, a long time friend posted a team picture of our Mite Hockey team... from like 40+ years ago... FB facially recognized our 7 year old faces and automatically tagged all of us...

I think that is a good point... quite honest. I think especially if they go to 18... pre season goes to 2 it is not a far leap to do an elimination or even down to 1

I agree with this... back in the day the players would "play themselves" into shape, now is a year round quest... lot of difference between a 14 and 17 game schedule as well on the body... I do think that getting folks out there in between the lines for a few reps just to get their heads in a game with the noise another team etc can provide some mild benefit (as long as no one gets hurt). But the days of the starters playing Q1 then Q1 and 2 then Q 1,2,3 and then sitting the 4th game (when they had 4) are gone and probably for the better...

and who knows maybe it makes zero difference... I just think a few reps for a guy poised to take on a much larger role in the offense and be a focal point of DB coverage would provide some benefit... in the end I guess McD will make the determination if it will help or not. I guess we find out Sat at 1pm lol

I went to the one in Minneapolis... holy crp that place gets cold.

You know I also think thats a great point as well about Bills Mafia... I think people like the crazy for sure... but I also think that there is a lot of respect out there for what they do for not only this community but others... Going back to Andy Dalton and Lamar, Darryl Talley etc...

Not sure what you are asking here. With Shakir, I think its really more he is going to be new at a starting position, getting him a few reps would in my opinion be good.

I think JA has a lot to do with this for sure.. Pretty charismatic kid out there with his actress/Model/Whatever Girlfriend ... I dont think that is the only thing, but it sure helps to have kind likeable face of the franchise.

I think you are right on this conceptually, in the end, coaches need to make that decision do they just need reps or are they looking to assess. If they felt that way I guess I am fine with that for sure. From my perspective at a minimum I would like to get McGovern out there with or without Josh to snap the ball and make line calls for a series or two... just to get him a couple reps in a new position... (Yes maybe even Edwards and Torrence, I wasnt looking to do a "list" per se but they absolutely could be part of that. Dawkins... well... take it or leave it.) Definately want Bass out there with or without his eventual holder and snapper to get some reps in etc... I totally worry about injuries in pre season and camp. Gotta strike a balance I think between preparation and protection. And quite honestly its a tough call for the coaches to make I am sure... I like being on the 2nd guessing side of that particular decision LOL

Honestly, happy or not, I cannot imagine this structure of contracts will stand in 2027, I think they are gonna have to pivot hard at some point. Either they win it all and have to pivot, or Tua isnt all that and they have to figure how to get out of it. Different I think from the Bills, in that we already know JA is the guy and have done things to relieve some of the cap strain with some high paid vets... Miami will have to do the same only I still feel that QB is uncertain. I think the Jets situation is this on steroids with a much shorter window. Either way I believe we are better positioned for the future then either of them.

agree or be traded before the deadline at a discount because he is a distraction...
