For some strange reason, he reminds me of Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds.

This is the quality of sports reporting during a pandemic when sports are shut down. We got an article inferring Clowney is signing with the Titans based off a screenshot from a video game. I can't wait for things to go back to normal so we can return to inaccurate reporting based off bad "information from a source" instead of video games.

If there's games this year, and fans can attend, I'm there. Season tickets be damned. If it's my time to check out so be it. It'll happen by lightening strike, getting hit by a bus, or attending a Bill's game.

I'm not handicapping or offering mulligans to anyone. The players that are gone don't even matter at this point. None of them. This team wouldn't have been built the way it has with them here. I'll say it again, I'm pro-Allen all the way, but this has to be his takeover year with the way the offense is built now. I'm not saying Superbowl or bust, but the Bills offense needs to run like a V-12 engine instead of a 6 cylinder minivan.

the 1999 colts had Manning, Marvin Harrison, and Edge James on offense 2001 Pats* had Brady/Bledsoe, Antwain Smith and Troy Brown on offense 2005 Steelers had Big Ben, Willie Parker, Bettis, Randle El, and Hines Ward on offense- stacked 2008 Dirty Birds had Ryan, M. Turner, Roddy White, Michael Jenkins, Brian Finneran on offense 2012 Colts had Luck, Wayne and Hilton(probably the weakest offensive weapons by team on this list) 2013 Seahawks - Wilson, Lynch, Tate, Baldwin, Miller, Kearse 2017 Iggles had Wentz/Foles, and a bunch of good not great offensive players 2018 Chiefs were stacked with offensive weapons- no need to list 2019- Ravens- had a good run until Buffalo exposed their run-pass option offense and how to defend it. most of the Qb's you referenced had one thing in common- great weapons to play with. Allen is going into a season where his weapons look great on paper. In his first year they were poor. Second year upgraded to good. Now they should be great. Lets see how this year goes. Patients.....

So to summarize Brady's thoughts: "I knew the Buffalo Bills were building a juggernaut and needed to get the hell out of the East and the AFC. I also realize my skills are diminishing and that I need to go somewhere else ASAP, so that rather than get dismantled by the Bills, I now have built in excuses (new system, timing with receivers, ect) when I look less than average. "

I'm sure this video was edited to remove the overthrow....... Good grief...

The Bills take him with the 54th pick. The organization adds to TSW Allen hate.?

Wow, Josh Allen is polarizing. I'm a pro-Allen guy and with that disclaimer out of the way, i will add this: Right now, Allen is just good enough. Good enough to not throw picks in the redzone, or 4th quarter based on 2019. Good enough to manage the game to get a win or maybe put together a game winning drive in the 4th quarter. I am waiting for a string of games where he takes over and dominates. I don't need 300 yrd games.... i need more than 24 points, ball control, and clock management. Comparing Qb's is getting silly. Everybody wants their guy to be the next big thing, but a lot of people use tunnel vision looking at their Qb. Mahomes, Watson, Mayfield, ect, what was their average time to throw? How often did they have a clean pocket? How many times do they have to scramble and throw on the run? How many drive killing DROPS did their receivers have? How many drive killing penalties? How much is on the player and how much is on the playcalling? Only by being a complete tape nerd can you answer those questions and make a somewhat educated guess. Comparisons and what ifs are getting old. Wins matter. The Bills are relevant again for the first time in a loooong time. Allen is in the driver seat. Sit back and enjoy the ride. I'm sure every Bill's fan is hoping he doesn't crash. And if you are a Bills fan rooting against him succeeding, there may be something wrong with your fandom.

Great story! In today's world, a student's parents would sue the school under the same scenario..... and probably win.

The rich get poor and the poor get rich? I think I'm understanding the cap now.

I'm on board with that, but it's not gonna get it done

I think he's more of a mercenary at this point with no loyalty to any team. I do think he would be a beast on the Bills d-line, but not worth the cost.

I expect the Bills to make the playoffs again in 2020 and win a game or two. If we make it to the promised land and win it all , it would be a bonus. Still a few unknowns and missing pieces in the mix to say Superbowl or bust for 2020. Now if the Bills continue their current trajectory, the 2021 season is definitely the Superbowl or bust season.

Buffalo News reporting Gronk signed with WWE and will start March 20 on Smackdown.

This is a disconnect with reality for A-aron. It seems he thinks he's still the face of the NFL and has untouchable influence and that ship has sailed. If it's to the point that men in "his" locker room aren't returning his calls/texts now, that should tell him something.

The problem is that ESPN sucks. Too much ball washing for large market teams and not enough balanced commentating.

Does this in any way mean no new stadium and that their doing a renovation? Thoughts?

It was a Billsy thing to do when we had Buddy or Whaley as GM. This ain't happening now.

High profile player in the "NFL MECCA OF LOS ANGLES". That's how. He had a solid career, but not HOF worthy.

You have had that playbook sitting around for years. ?

If the Pegula owned Bills ever moved to Toronto or any other non WNY location, the Pegulas would have to divest any connection to WNY and Buffalo. This includes the Sabres, and any property holdings ie harbor center ect, due to the blowback involved. That isn't ever going to happen.

Most people aren't riding a train, metro rail or bus to get to a game. There are plenty of hotels within minutes of NEF. Have you ever attempted to leave downtown buffalo in any direction when the skyway is closed from weather? Takes hours and traffic doesn't move. The point about Canadians, I thought that we all knew about the boarder/ customs. I guess not. My point was that Orchard Park is 10 minutes from buffalo. Whether the stadium is in OP or downtown, our Canadian Bills fans are going through customs. 10 additional minutes to OP doesn't ruin the trip.

I agree on your first two points, however........ point #3: Build an all new state of the art Stadium/Convention Center downtown near Canalside. There are better things to develop near the waterfront than a stadium- point #4: I don't buy the BS about downtown not having the infrastructure to support a stadium - the city was once 4 times in size and population. The city doesn't have the infrastructure in place. When Buffalo had "4 times in size and population", It was at a time when families had 1 car. Not 2-4. People actually used buses back then. You do have the 2 lane Skyway leading to Rte 5 and the 3 lane 190 as express routes out of the city. And if a new stadium is near Canalside, there will be huge traffic backups to get to the 33. What do you do when wind or blowing snow closes the skyway on a game day? Everything comes to a stand still. This doesn't work. point #5: There are also multiple modes of transportation to the City v Orchard Park. ??? seems like the same transportation beside the metro rail. point #6: You don't spend $500M on an old stadium in Orchard Park - which could not be further than the fastest growing area in the region: Southern Ontario. I agree that New Era shouldn't have money sunk into it. But, Orchard Park is less than 10 minutes from downtown Buffalo. 10 minutes isn't going to make or break Southern Ontario Bills/NFL fans.

It's a two way street in that aspect. But, Palmer wouldn't be beating a drum for Allen if he thought Allen would fail to succeed. It would make Palmer look like a fool and his training program look like trash.
