I don't care if the Bills wear turquoise and brown as long as they win.

Reckless disregard for the safety and welfare of others that led to multiple hospitalizations; fleeing the scene of your destruction and being sentenced to jail time and fines = six games Taking an illegal substance = six games

I like Shane, but he's not an NFL-caliber QB. Davidson is "fine" but hardly deserving of a roster spot. So the answer is NO, I'm not surprised by any of the decisions. It will be much more interesting when Hairston and the suspensions come back.

At this point, folks seem to revel in their crankiness via tired and lazy posts. Beane and McDermott were gone three years before Sam Franklin joined the Panthers.

It makes no sense to be that upset with the move. At best, Poyer is the 4th safety, but as he sits on the practice squad, those ahead of him can learn from Poyer, and the team has time to determine if he's physically capable of stepping in if needed.

The Shout song only seems to work with three or more people. Preferably 10 or more. It's creepy when one person sings it to you.

You put a lot of work into this. But you're still dead wrong.

He's average, or slightly below average, with some flashes of above average to good. Hamlin's problem is that at any one time, he's likely the weakest link on the Defense, which naturally means teams will target him, further exposing his play. This happens on every team, but especially those that have good talent elsewhere. See: Rasual Douglas (2024), Dane Jackson, Levi Wallace, etc.

Perhaps, but let's hope we don't have to find out.

AJ has not lived up to 2nd Round status, but he's a productive and valuable part of the rotation. Not close to a "wasted" pick. Singletary was and still is a solid starter. Plus, he and Moss played behind a feeble run blocking line. Moss just didn't hit his full potential, but he certainly had third-round talent. Again, neither of these picks was wasted. Rasuel Douglas was certainly a productive member of the defense and worth the third-round cost, at least for a few seasons. Not wasted. Very few people thought Cooper was a wasted third-round opportunity. Although it wasn't as much as we hoped, he helped the offense become one of the best. Also - by your standards, name another team that doesn't have multiple "wasted" picks

Every player on the Bills’ roster could go down for the season and this team would still have a shot at the Super Bowl—except one: Josh Allen. Mitch Trubisky is on the roster for one reason: to keep the team afloat if Allen misses a few games. His job is to win half of them, nothing more. That’s why spending a high draft pick on a quarterback makes no sense. No rookie or developmental QB is going to step in and win more games than Mitch—or any other free-agent backup—if Allen goes down. And they certainly won’t carry the team through the playoffs. The smart play is to invest those valuable draft picks in depth everywhere else: offensive line, secondary, receivers, defensive front. Build the best possible roster around Allen. Because if he’s on the field, the Bills can beat anybody.

The Dolphin reporter at the Athletic surprised me with how pessimistic he feels about the team. This injury won't help that assessment.

If Bishop plays well, I’ll be a little surprised he doesn't start. I think he’s playing because he needs to catch up on reps.

While the Bills are a much better team without Shakir, the Bills' offense has demonstrated an ability to manage his absence, especially if they have a month to prepare for the Ravens. Even if he were to play, I wouldn't be surprised if Shakir had a downsized role versus the Ravens. Possibly emphasize TE and heavy packages to run the ball on the Ravens' much-improved secondary.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Shakir back in three weeks.
