Paup 1995MVP

With no upside, and a low ceiling. You want to win championships, we need a more athletic CB then Levi Wallace.

Agreed. I am amazed at the love for a guy who looks like he runs in mud. He hasn't sucked. But any decent quick receiver has his way w Levi.

The black Trent Edwards is now on his 5th team. Vikings, Saints, Panthers, Broncos and now Dolphins. He brings as little energy to an offense both from a physical and emotional presence as I believe is humanly possible. How is he still in the league? Makes Tyrod Taylor look almost like a downfield gunslinger.

That is as good a post as I have read on here in a long time Shaw66. Totally agree. I cringe thinking of playing for the Jags. Heck their owner would rather their team be in London anyways. They play in a college stadium in a BS city. Nothing good about the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Solid veteran that fills a need. Good signing. Lets keep it going..

Thats a good point. Fortunately for us, the Giants pretty much suck. So unless they just go nuts and offer Bates huge money, all things being equal I would assume he would rather play for a championship contender w Josh Allen, then the Giants and Daniel Jones. When I think of Kromer and the beach chair incident, I just crack up. Just another part of the nonsense that was the Bills 17 year playoff draught.

Jarvis Landry is a solid NFL professional Wide Receiver. Not everyone has to be borderline HOF before we consider them.

I think we still can match any contract offered to him by another team. Let another team set the market, and then we can decide if he is worth keeping. As long as its not an absurd number, I think Beane is smart enuf to keep him.

Good for the Bills. When we play the Steelers, I like our chances given whom they have at starter now. Don't think he is much of an upgrade from Big Ben the past couple years. That's a tough division. Pittsburgh could be considered #4 right now fighting it out w the Brownies.

The whole thing sounded fishy from the start. Young women today are ridiculous. Did they stop putting brains in females who were born after 1995? Seriously all they do is look at their phones and take selfies. Glad I grew up in the 70's and 80's.

Good way to summarize things so far. Free Agency hasn't even started yet, and some are all worked up. I think Beane does need to add some playmakers to the team (especially on defense). I think trading Edmunds would be a start. (He plays too important of a position to be so lacking in his playmaking skills and instincts) But things will play out over the next couple of months. Disappointing how tight we are against the cap. The Star contract really was a headscratcher. But I think this will be the year that we see what Beane can do to really give us a strong shot to get to the top of the mountain. If we crash and burn again, then someone will have to take responsibility. But I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for another season.

Herbie is OK. Even if he was a Buckeye. But Mr College Football is Gus Johnson!! And before him it had to be Brent Musberger. And here is one from the past who was excellent. The original Saturday nite voice of College Football on ESPN. Ron Franklin!!

All that matters is if this signing is going to help us win the Super Bowl. Who cares if we keep a lot of our own players or not. We were not good enuf overall to win the Super Bowl last year. Our QB was. Our WR's were. The defense was not. Siran Neal is a decent player. But that looks like a lot of money for a guy that does not start or play a LOT on offense or defense. Hopefully his cap hit next year is low. Have nothing against him. But not sure he is much of a difference maker is all.

I sure felt that way. And I don't even know who Bill Simmons is. I do know Gene Simmons and think he is a heavy metal god. And I do know Richard Simmons-and don't quite think of him quite as highly. But he was funny back in the day. LOL

Belichik and Cowher/Tomlin were better coaches then Dungy and Caldwell.

I said the same thing about the Super Bowl. It seemed like just another mediocre 4pm mid season game. Nothing special. I do love the game of football. I love the Bills. But college football on the whole is more exciting then the NFL. Not being able to pound the QB has taken some of the steam out of the game. I don't think D Lineman attack with nearly the ferocity they used to for fear of being penalized. The NFL does not promote its violence like they used to. And that is what made football special. A softer game in a much softer world. (Can you see Ronnie Lott playing in today's NFL? LOL) Thanks to Roger for that. But I will always watch it. Football and Nascar. That's where I am in my sports love in my mid 50's. Baseball and basketball who cares. Hockey is a nice diversion at times. But the Sabres are still terrible. (Watching the Blues win the Cup a few years back was cool.) I could not agree w you less. Steve Atwater hits were what made football so dam popular. Sure its great to see guys making big plays running down the field. But I sure would not have minded seeing someone close line Cooper Kupp.

Exactly. By the time you are in your mid 30's in the NFL at WR, your body is breaking down, and you are just not a top end player any longer. Happened to Edelman. Happened to Welker. Happened to Fitzgerald. Happened to Andre Reed. Happened to Moulds even sooner. Happens to them all. He has had a good career.

Seriously bro? Did you watch Minshew for the Eagles on the last Sat nite of the season against the Cowboys who scare noone on defense? He was marginal at best. Uncle Rico was a nice story his first couple games w the Jags. But the guy is severely limited. I don't think the Colts are much better then the Texans if Minshew was their starter. Phillip Rivers was better then Wentz. But he had enuf after last season.

Everyone can't get the head coaching job at Alabama. There are only so many head coaching jobs available. He has been their DC for a few years, so he has a feel for how the franchise runs, the GM and ownership. So he must feel like he can get the ship righted. And at least he hasn't coached under Sean McVay who I can not stand. (I think the Bengals are going to punch the Rams right in the chops on Sunday) Its kind of refreshing to hire a defensive coach as the head coach for a change. Defensive guys always seem to bring a little more toughness to a teams personality. Not sure what happened with the Bills. Frazier certainly has not done that. And while McDermott has done an excellent job overall, our team's persona is not one of "we are going to just beat you down for 60 minutes." And come to think of it, I don't think that is the way the NFL is played and coached anymore in general. LOL

The whole Texan thing is always overblown. Culley did a good job w the team. Those guys on the Texans played hard last year. They beat the Chargers late in the season. The media and social media is always looking for something to make a big deal about. But inside the walls most players come to work every day like any other job and bust their asses to be the best they can be. All the rest is clutter. And with social media its 24/7/365 ad nauseum. Lovie is solid. And get the most out of his players. The team in that division that really underperformed this past year was the Colts. They choked big time. Frank Reich really lost some luster w the loss to the Jags on the final Sunday of the season. The perception versus the reality of what goes on with teams is not always close.

Exactly TB. McDermott needs to worry about fixing the Bills defense. We will not win or play for a Super Bowl until he does. The offense will be fine w/o Brian Dabol. We still have a stud named Josh Allen. And some good pieces around him. I am sure we will add another WR and RB to try and upgrade especially at RB. And Dorsey knows the offense pieces that we have. And Allen is a big supporter. So I think the transition from Dabol to Dorsey should be fine. And letting Bobby Johnson go has to be an upgrade, even if we we didn't even hire another O line coach. Guy was awful. As for all the rest w Flores, good for him trying to blow up the Ivory Roger Goodell tower. The league has been trending down ever since snowflake Roger came around. Taking the violence out of the game, especially with protecting the QB has always bothered me. And suspending players like Josh Gordan repeatedly because he likes his weed is just plain stupid and out of touch w society. Now good old Roger can deal w the Flores lawsuit. The Gruden lawsuit. And all the other messes including Desean Watson and the Washington Redskins, Football Team, and Commanders. LOL I wish the owners would just can his ass!!

I know they all got fired. But my point is that they all sucked as head coaches. And black head coaches who suck should get fired also. They just need to be given a chance first. I can not believe that Joe Judge was highly qualified to do anything on a football field that would make him head coaching material. Just very weird how a sport whose players are predominantly black has so few coaches that are black. And good for Flores tearing the Dolphins, Broncos and Giants a new one. Elway has been a drunken fool since leaving the game. Ross is a coockoo. And the Giants have become a joke of a franchise. Good luck Daboll.

David Culley looks more white then black to me.

There is one black head coach in the NFL right now, Mike Tomlin. Yet guys like Jason Garrett Joe Judge Matt Nagy and Vick Fangio continue to roam the sidelines. I am by no means a "Social Injustice" supporter. But something is not right when there is only one black head coach in the NFL in 2022

KC went to the last two Super Bowls winning one of them. So Andy Reid and Eric (sleeping with) Bienemy have a little more rope. Although I thought they looked completely lost in the last two minutes when they had every chance to win the game. (A lot goes on Mahomes for looking like a dancing ballerina running in circles at the end instead of firing darts to the end zone) San Fran has Jimmy G, who is nowhere near as talented as Josh Allen, and no corner who could stay with Cooper Kupp. Our situation was a little more dramatic. We blew the kickoff. And then just let KC catch two passes for 44 yards without providing any resistance whatsoever. I think the DC should be canned for having no plan to defend the Chiefs when the game was on the line. And don't forget OT either. We were just raising the white flag at that point. Listen you need the horses on D which we are certainly lacking. But the DC is the leader of the D. He failed in a most crucial situation.
