Good luck with that. The current CBA was a major win for the owners. I wouldn't expect that to happen again next time. If anything, the players will gain more power, not less.

I think the only thing that will upset me is if the Bills come out today and continue to play 1950s football by running the ball into a stout DL over and over again despite a lack of success. This team needs to modernize it's approach to offense. The Jets have weak CB play, I'd like to see them gameplan to take advantage of it. If Allen fails, so be it, but put him in a position to succeed.

Oh no doubt, Brown is a douche. The worst thing he said though was he'd "punch him the face."

That's because one word has been used historically in the US to belittle and demean a people and the other was hilariously created to try and do likewise but has failed to gain any traction other than in comedy. They're not the same thing at all and most people realize this.

And this term actually offends people? People are just looking for reasons to get riled up, geez.

I'd be happy with Trubisky like numbers from last year. People are looking at one game to start the season and using that as proof that Trubisky sucks. He was horrible last night, it happens. Josh will be horrible in some games this year too, it doens't mean he isn't and can't be a good QB.

Athletic has an article today about Dawkins and says he's a captain for 2019. Didn't mention anybody else.

I'm game

I think the RBs will only have about 70 yards between them. The interior of the Jets' DL is stout. For this game I see Allen having enough scrambling yards to lead the team.

I don't think it's that nobody thinks he's that good. He could likely get the type of deal he wants if he was a FA, but nobody is going to part with a 1st and 5th AND pay him top dollar. The Chargers know this which is why they told him to find a partner, they know he can't, not for what they're asking.

Funny how AB didn't like Big Ben taking his grievances public. If you don't like it, don't do it yourself.

The Bills make the playoffs. If they can control the ball that effectively the D will have enough rest to really shine.

He was a fantastic player for the Bills his first two years here, after that he had the two lowest years of YPC of his career. Last year you can say it was the OL, the year before the OL was fine. Shady isn't an "overrated" player over the course of his career (he's a borderline HOFer), but he definitely lost a step a couple of years ago. The Bills would have been better off cutting him before last year but at least the rectified that mistake this offseason and didn't keep him for the duration of his contract.

The Jets are a team that could be contending with the Bills for a WC and have a brutal schedule to start the season (BUF, CLE, NE, PHI, DAL, NE) but it gets a hell of a lot easier after that. The Bills are the easiest game to start the season and it's at home. Give them an L and their entire season could go down the drain very quickly. Get them into a hole quickly and let the NYC media eat them alive.

I live about 25 minutes from MetLife and debated taking my 15 year old son to both games. I ended up deciding to just go to the Giants' game because I trust Giants fans a hell of a lot more than I trust Jets' fans. I've lived in the NYC area for 20+ years and have gone to a grand total of 4 Bills/Jets games because, well, Jets' fans.

Yeah, it does sound about right. Says the pieces are in place for a good team if Allen steps up. If he makes significant strides this year the Bills are a legit playoff contender. If not, they'll flounder around the 7 to 8 win mark. I believe we'll be right in the mix for the playoffs come week 17.

Adams is a S, the only guys hed man up on are TEs. Adams is so good not because he can man up on WR but because he can do EVERYTHING well. He can line up 5 yards from the LoS and play the run like a LB or blitz. They move him all around and Allen will have to account form his whereabouts before every snap, The Bills dream of Adams lining up outside with Brown all game.

Throwing accuracy has a lot to do with footwork. If your lower body isn't positioned properly the ball isn't going where you want it to.

Everyone claimed the Bills were tanking in McDermott's first season. He also didn't buy into that theory.

Shortstop is all about footwork, which is why your best athlete usually plays there.

Whats wrong with that is that there are certain posters who rarely actually talk Bills football and instead choose to spend most of their time insulting other posters who don’t have the same positive opinion of everything Bills’ football. They talk about the “negative posters” but they are the most negative of them all.

Everybody benefits. Guys who would normally be cut this week get an extra paycheck and an opportunity for more playing time and game tape to show their wears. Meanwhile teams get to protect players who are going to make the active roster. What is not to like exactly?

One would think yet Iook upstream and see otherwise.

I don’t mind paying guys big money in FA or re-upping our own players. What I don’t like is giving up draft assets AND paying a premium salary. I wont be for or against this trade (if it happens) until I see what was given up and paid.

Did any of you guys actually read what was linked? It doesn’t seem like it. “Burke used analytics to project the fate for every coach if their team went 4-12.” That was the basis of the article. Not exactly a think piece or good journalism but it defiantly wasn’t stating that McD has a 73% chance of being fired. Don’t let that get in the way of taking your torches and pitchforks up to ESPN castle though.
