Paup 1995MVP

No it’s not. If I run a business, and we are not making a profit. And one of my employees who thinks they are an amazing asset wants a lot more money to work for me. But we are not getting it done w them. And they are a bit too much about themselves instead of the team. Why would I want to pay that same person more money? Rather I am letting him go to greener pastures, and getting a nice return in some new assets to try and turn things around make a better more profitable company. i am not paying any defensive player that kind of money, especially one who is marginal against the run. And especially in an era when football is an offensive game. I guarantee you the Lions will scheme him right out, to where he is not a factor. And the Vikings will likely do the same. Kenny Clark was a big part of the Packers defense. I wish the Bills had him.

The Cowboys defense sucked with Micah Parsons. No way you pay that guy $47 million per. They get 2 first rounders and a dam good DT. And Parsons gets to freeze his ass off in the frozen tundra. Good for Jerry..

He missed a 25 yarder against the Lions last year, that was the shortest miss of the NFL season. He missed a 24 yarder against Tampa. And he has missed plenty of extra Points. Sure he made a big time 61 yarder against the Dolphins last year. But the guy is just not overly consistent on everything inside of 50. And now he has some pelvic issue. Ugh. Maybe its time for a change. Our special teams is always teetering. Too bad Bruce De Haven passed away.

The Bills coaching has been marginal in the big playoff games w Josh and McDermott. We all know the 13 seconds game. The play calling last year against Baltimore was very conservative in the second half. Brady packed it in, and it almost cost us the game. The play calling in short yardage against KC last year in the AFCCG was predictable redundant and easy to stop. That was the biggest reason for the loss IMO. By that point in the season after playing 18 or 19 games, the opposition knows your tendencies on both sides of the ball. You have to change some things up, because your opponent is always going to be just as good as you. And you are not going to dominate another well coached team deep in the playoffs. It just doesn't happen very often. And the Bills just do not change anything about their scheme in big playoff games. And give the opposition different looks that they were not expecting. That little edge is usually the difference. McDermott is good at culture and keeping players happy and focused. He is nothing special as a tactician. That is the difference between an Andy Reid and Sean McVay coached team, and a Sean McDermott coached team.

Glad they dropped Hardy. He is small and slow. Not an NFL prospect. And didn't he go to Penn State? Boo on that. Overall a strong roster. And a strong PS. Can't wait for the season.

Our receivers like our DB’s are always banged up over the 17 game season. All 6 receivers will get opportunities. It’s a real solid group this year. At least on paper it is.

Nothing. The best thing he has going is his personality. He was a celeb on Hard Knocks. The problem was his hands are brutal. He was dropping passes left and right on last night's episode. And that was pretty much it. He knew it too. Nice guy. At least he can keep riding his scooter. I hope its Hardy. No way he belongs on an NFL field the way he played in the preseason. Good to get some new blood in from other teams. Lets go Jalen Kimber.

Its a long off season. Everyone is salty the way last season and the previous 5 before that have ended. I know I have felt that way all offseason. (Except when we drafted Hairston, and watching Hard Knocks.) I am excited for the season to finally almost be here. As for Carter, does he even dress unless there is an injury at DT before Ogunjobi comes back? I think he is certainly behind Daquan Oliver Sanders and Walker. But I could see Daquan being injured by week 2, and we can go with Big Jordan or Carter. I hope the kid steps up when he gets his chance.

We will need Ingram to step up. I think he will. The guy has length and can move reasonably well. He has way more upside than Tre White at this point in their careers. Unless Tre has a couple gears he was not showing against the Giants and through training camp, no reason he should be on the team at this point. I have to think the Ravens have to be chomping at the bit w the thought of their WR’s going one on one against him. Ugh that could really be ugly and embarrassing. But the Bills love to bring back “their guys.”😳😳

And he had great hands. There are real good players in every sport in every era. And there are the all timers. Jerry Rice is a Mt Rushmore type.

Codrington was a good return man. But he is small. And we already have Samuel and Moore who are both small. I have always liked Shenault's game. A bigger return man. Plus I think he can give us something at WR. I liked his 2 point catch in the end zone against the Giants.

Back when Rice played noone said he ran 4.71. It was always around 4.55 from what I remember. And I watched his entire career. It has been a while. But the way he played WR will never be duplicated. Whatever he ran in the 40, he never looked slow running on the field. I will say that. Its funny but three guys who were as fast as any WR's of any era that I saw were Isaac Curtis-Bengals, Roger Carr-Colts and Cliff Branch-Raiders. All 3 could just burn!! And they all played in the 1970's.

Ever year at this time, I just get real pissed at the front office. Bills love medium floor, low ceiling players. Never take risks. They are so predictable on cutdown day. It should be a no brainer keeping Chenault over Codrington. And what about Cialo? Guy has way more upside at this point then Buffalo Joe and Shaq Thompson. And I would keep Latu over Zack Davidson. And find a place for Wilkerson and Shavers if at all possible. What we have done for the past 6 years has not gotten us to the Super Bowl. Other than Josh Cook Ty Johnson Shakir Benford and the O line, noone elses job should have been safe going into the off season. Not saying we should have 70% new roster. But unless you have climbed the mountain and reached the pinnacle, things need to be changed every year.

What do you think Tre is???? A below average veteran.

All real good points. The MAC is not big time college football. My son played high school ball in the Atlanta area 8-10 years ago. He played w X McKinney on the Packers and their back up QB from Liberty-name escapes me at the moment. Their team was loaded as any HS team was back in 2016. He was recruited hard by Bowling Green and W Michigan. Chose Syracuse and then transferred to Georgia Southern. Had a good career. But played a little out of position as a 4-3 DE versus LB. The level of play in the Sun Belt was better than the MAC. But not exponentially. (My son should have transferred before his last year to a mid level Big 10 or ACC program and would have had a better shot at the pros- but he always did his own thing w/o asking his parents for advice) My point is not a lot of stud players are coming out of either conference. We got Leodis McKelvin from Troy. (Da Marcus aware played there also). I know nothing about this kid Dolac. But it’s a big step up to the NFL from Group of 5 schools is all. Does Dolac look like the next LT? And you are also right about living in a big time city when you are in your 20’s. I moved to Atlanta after college when I graduated in 1987. My two boys live in Miami. And my daughter lives in LA. But we have Cialo. I think he could really be a baller in the NFL. I sure hope McBeane feel the same way!’

Shenault is a better football player than Codrington period. I don’t think Codrington could start at most Power 5 conferences as a CB now. We don’t need so many small guys on the team. Physicality is important still in the NFL. It’s pro football.

Buffalo Joe is London Fletcher light. He is a plugger. The problem is the game is not played like that so much anymore. Have to be able to drop back in coverage a lot playing LB in today’s game.

He could be our 4th best LB right now. After Bernard Milano and Dorian, no one stands out. Ciarlo plays like the game isn’t too big for him. He could easily make a difference for us. And he is good on ST, which was brutal on kick coverage last night. We shall see if the Bills brass thinks the same thing. I don’t think management is great w roster building. They know O lineman and RB’s. The rest they have gotten by because of Josh. But they need to be better to win the bowl. Let’s hope they figure it out this year.

The Bills really must not like Carter. I had no idea why they were drafting someone in the 3rd round from Duke anyways. I guess Zion Logue is not the answer? But I don’t mind that fivesome. But Phillips will probably be hurt in less time then Tre was. 😳😳

Agree about Bass. He makes me nervous. High school kickers can’t miss those. And he almost missed another one as well. Don’t like his ball alway drifting to the right.

Glad someone gets it on here. Tre White is slow and looks and plays a whole lot older than 30. There was just no reason to bring him back this season. He will keep getting injured or burned if he does ever suit up again. At least Bishop looked better last night. And Walker is going to be a beast at DT. #35 Cialo moves and reacts better than Buffalo Joe. And is a demon on ST. He should make the final 53. He is Tyler Matekevich w some ability to play LB too.

Tre is like an old car that keeps breaking down. Is anyone surprised he is already injured? No good reason that the Bills resigned him and Dane Jackson. For whatever reason Beane can’t get over guys who played for us, once they leave. Everyone has their shelf life. Tre’s has expired. Need some young veteran talent at CB. Hopefully we can put some semblance of a competent secondary on the field when the bullets start to fly🙏🙏

Next man up should be Ingram. He has length, and looks better than Jackson and Strong. Its too bad about Tre. But he looked lousy against the Giants. And that was giving a 10 yard cushion to the Giant receivers he was trying to guard. Maybe Ingram has the magic. The secondary is a mess. Lets hope at least someone at safety steps up next to Rapp.

My comment has nothing to do w Alexander. He may be the next Darelle Revis for all I know. And that would be awesome. He is coming from a good program. I really hope he balls out! i was just never a Levi Wallace fan is all. Didn’t like his game. (Because basically he didn’t have much game to like) I am sure everyone on this board has guys they did not like for one reason or another.

He was starting for us. And it was painful.
