I'm not so sure the issue is a lack of having an emotional leader. I think a lot of these guys play the game with a passion and as McDermott would say "Do the right things" but as I watch this Defense it is becoming more apparent to me that we have a defense filled with a bunch of good players but what we are lacking is a Bonafide playmaker wrecking Havoc along the lines of a Luke Keuchly, JJ or TJ Watt, Aaron Donald, Von Miller in his prime and so on and so on. I was desperately hoping Ed Oliver could be that guy but he certainly hasn't arrived to that level yet. Whether he is being affected by injury or not Edmunds hasn't even been close to that guy yet(not saying he sucks but just saying he hasn't proven to be our Playmaker yet). McDermott has really built the ultimate bend but don't break defense but the problem is we are starting to bend too much this season. I really think a stud edge rusher would bring so much to this defense and make the entire unit so much more dangerous but I have no idea where that piece is acquired at the moment as we won't be drafting very high anymore going forward.

He was before my time but I've always been a fan of the history of the game and I have fond memories of my grandfather talking about Gale Sayers when I was a kid. He was an icon in the sport of professional football. RIP

Hate to admit it but I agree. I bet some money on Seattle and they really made me sweat it out until the end of the game. New England is going to be much better than I was expecting this season. It's gonna be a dog fight for the AFC East.

I agree with the majority who have Mahomes at #1 on their list but Russel Wilson absolutely has the credibility to make that statement and feel that way. Anybody who wants to be great should have that kind of confidence. If you haven't proven anything in the league yet then it's not something you should be publicly stating but Russel has already proven it at the NFL level.

I think Oliver is going to make you eat crow on that one. We shall see

I still think some Bills fan underrate how good Ed Oliver can turn out to be. I really expect him to breakout this season and become a legit star in this league.

No I don't remember this movie at all lol. Space Jam on the other hand....

They have different personalities but they definitely share some similar traits! Feels great to finally have a head coach who is a leader of men.

I'm as disappointed as anyone the way things have played out this year but at this point people really need to accept the reality of the situation. Anybody who actually shows up to the stadium to "protest" will look foolish. All i know is my beer fridge will be stocked at my house and ready for action Sunday! Housegating 2020

I was a diehard Bulls fan back then but I remember being terrified of Utah in that last championship series. It's funny because I think a lot of people look back and just think the Bulls were this super team that were superior to everybody they played but I really looked at Utah as being the favorite going into that series. I think it adds to the Bulls/MJ mystique that they still pulled it off.

Juju is more talented than Zay no doubt but he is a huge diva. He wouldn't fit with the current culture/lockerroom vibe that Beane and McDermott have created. There are Steelers fans who already want to run the guy out of town. Our WR corp here is solid now so no need to look back in hindsight on the Zay Jones miss.

I remember how butt hurt some fans were when McDermott and Beane parted ways with Sammy Watkins and Marcel Dareus in their first year here...I love the way they revamped this roster with guys who love the game and have football character(I know, I know cliche lol)

Maybe the marketing team realized that the Bills are going to be so good this year that their job was going to be pointless?

As someone who enjoys sports, movies, Documentaries, tv series I find it frustrating almost with how much stuff is out there all at the same time. I just feel like there's never enough time to watch everything I have an interest in. I know it sounds silly but it actually gives me anxiety in a way lol.

Absolutely not. Glad our guys wanted nothing to do with him. Seems like the kinda guy Rex Ryan and Whaley would've been all over though

Talley seems like that dude that would just be cool to drink some beers and bulls*** around with. He seems like he would be a good story teller kinda guy.

In real life Jason Alexander isn't a sports fan at all.

That's who I thought of as well

I was in Elementary school during the Super Bowl years. They would always have these HUGE Pep Rallies in the school gymnasium during the week of the Super Bowl. The hallways would be littered with posters and pinups of the players from the Buffalo News. It really was a big deal back then. I also get very nostalgic when I think back to those days. It all seemed larger than life back then. I have to admit watching football nowadays with these players 15 years younger than me does feel much different lol.

I've watched that video on YouTube many times

He was a huge Bills fan too. RIP Cliff

You could tell from the 30 for 30 that he is clearly still troubled by it. He doesn't deserve to feel that way but it's understandably so why he does.

This is more along the lines of what I was thinking when I first saw this topic come up

I really miss Empire Sports
