For pity's sake, take a deep breath and get out of the house.

Why are so many in love with Isabella for that matter? I’ve seen him make exactly ONE play in his two preseason games.
He may be fast but he’s not that fast, and he has zero moves. He’s a terrible kickoff returner, too.

Positive outcomes:
1) Kyle Allen looked better.
2) Gabe Davis
3) Dalton Kincaid.
4) They can't commit that many penalties regularly, can they?
5) They've got a couple of weeks to work on things.
6) I got nothing else.

Lots of work to be done.

No he didn’t. He just said he took all the first team snaps and feels the competition is over. I’m looking for how he looked while on the field."He was a significant part of the Bills' early run game success. He moves people at the point of attack and while tougher tests will lie ahead in pass protection this was a really impressive first outing."

How did O’Cyrus play?
You’re kidding, right? Gunner wrote a whole evaluation of him.

IMO not good.Boneheaded INT early on while under duress. Some off target throws. He threw a few good check down balls and one very nice 20 yard strike.
I think it’ll be a long year for him relying on the ground.
This.This team has to be done with unreliable potential. WR 4-6 can’t drop balls when open. If they’re stashing these guys because of raw athleticism or measurables, do it on the PS. We are in a position where rostered players need to be able to contribute if called upon.
Hanging onto Shorter or Shakir because they could eventually be a decent WR3? Pass. Give me the best guy now, as the next year or two we are likely going to be investing heavily in pass catchers
Shavers dropped two of the five passes that were thrown to him. One, I’ll admit was the lousy Allen pass that got intercepted, but the other was right to him.
-
How do you judge these wide receivers when they are as erratic as Shavers and Shakir, making some great catches and then dropping easy ones?
Tommy Doyle sure has bad luck. I hope his knee is not destroyed again.

I'm an old guy, a fan of the Bills since the mid-1960s. I was here from the start, and even before on the Hyperbills site run by the Rochester Demagogue and Comical. When that folded, SDS saved our bacon by starting this venue for our madness.
Thanks to all involved!
Here's a photo from back in the 1990s.

I think if they stay healthy they win the Super Bowl. They may not win as many regular season games as last season, but I think the tough losses they've taken in the last two years will make them ready for whatever the post-season brings.
Of course this is just a hunch. Nobody knows how things will really go, and a key injury or two, or a bad bounce of the ball or a terrible call, can derail a game or a season.

According to these "experts' we aren't even winning the division.
Good. More of this, please. I want everybody to be discounting the Bills. I'd like to see them get into the playoffs healthy and with a chip the size of Mt. Everest on their shoulders.

Does Hopkins really have that much left in the tank? I suppose we'll find out, but I'm against paying for a player's reputation when he's on the downward side of his career.

Agreed on all.
2 more things I thought - Cousins was in serious Rib pain going into game and Von hit him perfectly and re aggravated that pain early on . Dude is very tough.
I'm not a fan of Mahomes personality off the field. Idk what it is but he just rubs me the wrong way. Just kinda corny and unlikable. Very stark contrast to how Allen off the field
I can't help but like Mahomes even if I hate him on game days. As The Frankish Reich says, if he were on the Bills and Allen on the Chiefs, our opinions of them would reverse.
The "Put the shoe on the other foot" test is always a good way of defusing your prejudice and judging the reality of a situation.

I saw the preview and will probably watch. Just wish it wasn’t Mahomes or at least it also had Allen instead of Cousins or Mariota. Cousins and Mariota? Really? Wonder if all the better options declined. Mariota is borderline irrelevant and Cousins is Mr Average.
The point of picking these three QBs was to have one (Mahomes) who is a superstar, maybe the best ever, one (Cousins) who has been successful but is in no way historically exceptional, and one (Mariotta) who has been a journeyman trying to hang on as he goes from team to team.

Would you even consider the fact that you seem to be demanding that posters agree with you?
I am NOT trying to be mean but seriously, some posters are unhappy with the way certain things are being done and post about it. I have been critical about the way McDermott manages the draft. Do you want me to say how much I love all of his picks? Am I whining if I don't blindly approve of his every move? I think that McDermott is a good game manager but I disagree with his method of team building.
Now, is he better than the garbage we have had in Buffalo for more than 20 years? Of course. That said, I don't feel compelled to praise his sometimes counter productive moves (in my opinion of course).
If everyone agreed with me, you, or really any other poster 100% of the time, this place really would suck. I happen to think that at this point it does not.
You are making a straw man argument. How could I be demanding that others all agree with me if you don't even know what my specific opinions are?
Of course people are welcome to have different opinions. My comment is about what seems to me to be a relentless and repetitive negativity that rears its head in just about every discussion on this board. That doesn't mean that I want everybody to pretend the team has no problems. But the tone of this place (IMHO) has deteriorated to the point where I find it draining to even visit the board. I'm just expressing my opinion that it's becoming a total drag.
Maybe that's to be expected given the many times we've been disappointed. But from a certain point of view it's actually pretty funny, like that Monty Python skit where the old dudes are sitting around complaining how bad their childhoods were.

For pity's sake, this place has become unreadable. Remember when you were a kid and sports were fun?
IN THE DESERT
by Stephen Crane
In the desert
I saw a Buffalo Bills fan, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, “Is it good, friend?”
“It is bitter—bitter,” he answered;
“But I like it
“Because it is bitter,
“And because it is my heart.”

We all have our opinions about WGR of their analysis which is excellent to some of the hosts bordering on being circus clowns but how the Bills own station has Miami ahead of Buffalo is beyond me.
Good. I'd much rather have the Bills counted as an also ran than be the favorite as they were last season. It will be that much more satisfying when they win.

I was VERY dissapointed with that hire (Rex Ryan), just like I was disappointed with the Chan Gailey hire, although I warmed up to Chan.
Rex did come with defensive success, so I was willing to see what he could do with an already stellar defense. Well, he destroyed it, and I was vocal about his failures and wanted him gone, as were most Bills fans.
I would have preferred that they simply promote Jim Schwartz. At least the defense would have stayed the same.

Here's the thing: most people here are sheep and worship anyone currently associated with the team like a god.
Then, when a certain person leaves the team, they usually make fun of that person and sneer about how bad they were.
I don't get it either.
Kiko Alonso, to name one of dozens, went from highly regarded fanboy player to the butt of jokes here in about 48 hours when we traded him off the team.
Rex is another great example.
I thought Ryan was a mistake from the day they hired him, and said so at the time.

So Ben Volin, reporter for the Boston Globe, stated that "a source close to the Bills locker room" (whatever that means) revealed Diggs problem with the Bills (this is all being discussed in the thread about Diggs, so I won't rehash).
Now Volin is a serious, albeit not always correct in his info, reporter for the Boston Globe, so if he cites a "source close to the Bills locker room", I'm sure he has one. From his past history, he's not AP like @Delete This Account aka John Wawrow - he doesn't always have two independent sources close to the situation and he does sometimes get things wrong.
Problem 1: apparently players IN the Bills locker room, like Mitch Morse, don't actually know the problem
Problem 2: Buffalo reporters, who have cultivated sources IN the locker room, can't get much - the only tidbit was Tim Graham saying he was told "it doesn't involve Dorsey" (so how could it involve Diggs usage on the offense and not involve Dorsey? Sorry, Sorry didn't mean to re-hash)
But here's the real problem: This morning, there are literally a dozen articles from SI, NBC, the NY Post, and numerous more "gossipy" outlets. Some reference Volin as the source. Some refer to him as "an insider".
None of them have any independent source or verification
This Is Fine
No, it's not fine - it's how information from one unidentified source gets propegated and becomes "widely reported", without one iota of added credibility or verification.
So what can you do, Gentle Reader?
Pay attention to the source given for everything you read. And if something is being "widely reported" with the same slender source, please try to rate it's cred appropriately.
This is how the media got totally sucked into reporting that the U.S. had proof that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction in the run up to the Iraq War. Dick Cheney's minions leaked this assertion to the NY Times reporter Judith Miller on condition of anonymity, the Times put it on the front page in repeated stories trumpeting these "proofs," every other paper in the country jumped on the bandwagon, and then Cheney and Rumsfeld cited all these new reports as evidence that Iraq had WMD. Recycle and repeat and suddenly we're fighting a war over nothing.
