Woo hoo. Kick made from 49 with the wind

He definitely did not buy that at a Macy's off-season sale

I have speculated before and still think that Dorsey's personality was a problem and did not gel with Allen's. Look at how stressed and unhappy Allen looked with Dorsey as an OC. Much has been said about the team in general and Allen in particular looking more relaxed and focused this year than in the past 2. We can attribute it to Diggs being gone and I certainly think that was a factor in the general stress the team was displaying. But imo, it was Diggs and Dorsey who were issues with the team chemistry. Someone who has knowledge from inside the building can corroborate or refute my point of view. But I will be looking at that with the Browns and the Texans this season. The offense players looked and felt palpably different once Dorsey was gone.

Undoubtedly. I don't want to fast forward too much but if Ray Davis wants any shot at being the future #1, these are traits he will have to prove himself to be better at than Cook.

The leash will be that he is not considered as a pass catching option out of the backfield . He is still RB#1 unless Ray Davis shows to be more versatile with surer hands.

I want Trubisky to play most of the game and throw 3 TDs just so I can laugh at the local Bears fans the next day

He ain't going to get much, if anything, in return. He has no track record to be valuable And I will stop here cos I shouldn't have started this discussion in a TC update thread

Imo, if the coaches think Shavers is not just a TC stud, it will be MVS who is kicked to the curb

Price seems to be the most logical answer but this late in the off season, Simmons should make up his mind and adjust expectations. It is likely he is content to stay on the couch and then play when inevitably some team becomes desperate during the season. I just dont want Safety to be yet another weak spot on the team. We are already unproven in several position groups.

Serious question - why is Simmons not being signed by the Bills? We are dumpster diving to fill positions in an already weak position group. But still no Simmons?

I agree that Adams is doable cap wise and also provides the vet + stud option at WR. Next year, with more money coming available, the Bills will have more options for the premium positions. They can choose to spend top pick and money on WR , DE (to replace Miller) etc We will also have an idea of where Coleman is trending (up or down) . Adams just needs to be a solid option for next 2 seasons.

The article says dead cap will be $7.5 mm for 2024 and $15.7 in 2025. Imo, both are doable. Adding him makes Bills receiving room (including TE position) as one of the most diverse in the entire league.

That's a good program. I didn't know about it. It is then even more baffling that players do not use this service. Couple of things - after drinking, the first thing to go is judgment so I like @TheBrownBear's post about not taking your car at all. Secondly, it indicates to me that players are really bored in the off season and need something to occupy their mind and body. At least we don't have to worry about our rookie speeding.

Just 40! RIP.

"I am not Gabe, I am not Stefon. I am Keon". Love this guy so much ! Please be a good player.

Just crying and recovering from the burn marks on their hands

Quite tragic and very saddening. RIP.

No. I think someone else needs to be brought in. I am sure the Bills community will collectively jump off Rainbow Bridge if the Bills' season ends due to a missed kick

Yes, the answer will depend on how Ray Davis and Gore play as short yardage and goal line RBs. But I took the under due to optimism.

I am more pessimistic about this season than most of you. Imo, there are a lot of question marks at DB, WR and DE positions to place us in the top 8. A lot of things have to fall in place for the team to have as good a record as last year. Allen can only carry this team so far. If a couple of positions have injuries or the additions don't perform well, this season could be one of the poorest of the Allen era (save his rookie year). I am normally a pretty optimistic guy but this the least hopeful I have felt in the last 4 years.

There once was a boy from Opelousas Who was slower than a snail in mollases When his QB threw him the ball to score The snail reached first and had a snore And the boy was left pining for Macy's

- Hurts needs a good supporting cast to be successful but he appears to be a good guy - Sirianni is an a**hat - The writer of that article needs to learn how to use a spell check feature

If this were to come to pass (in next few months that is), I will buy you a beer

It will be quite ironic if this thread dragged on ad nauseum (And by replying I extended it by one more post)

First of all, the Diggs discussion has covered literally hundreds of pages on this forum and the consensus is that his departure does not hurt much. I am not going to dive into the main reasons. He wasn't a savior these past two seasons, fading away at the end of each. Surprising to see you defending him And no one is annointing Claypool as a savior. I for one still want to acquire a top one. But he has initially surprised watchers by his attitude in OTAs which he doesn't seem to have displayed at his previous stops. That is a step in the right direction. What you are reading is people hoping he has turned it around mentally. It happens in life. A lot. I have personally seen it (not in sports) and have confidence that individuals can indeed turn their life around by mentally re-setting themselves. If Claypool is one of them, and granted it's a big IF, then the overall WR room is pretty good due to the diversity of skill sets.
