Does anyone know if they will have more after training camp?

I don’t think so. I think this was it.

 

The first season had 4 episodes, but they released them 1 at a time over the course of 4 weeks iirc.

 

This year it looks like they just released the entire 4 episode season at once.

 

Really hope they do have more coming, though! Just not betting on it.

It was interesting to see them go so hard after Sills V. Maybe he has a bigger chance than say Duke does to make it on the roster

 

I was intrigued by how much they featured the pursuit of Sills as well.  Leads me to believe the OTAs don't mean diddly poo and we will see Sills get a lot of opportunities during TC and preseason.

It gave me chills hearing Kyle’s speech at the beginning of Ep. 4 about what it means to be a Buffalo Bill and represent the Buffalo community—overall I loved this season of embedded more than last year—so many good parts and I’m re-upping my KoolAid auto ship order for this year as we speak :thumbsup:

Seemed like, reading into it, they would have been fine drafting him based on where he was on their board... so he will definitely need to earn his spot but maybe not the “typical” UDFA

I thought Yellowstone was the best thing I watched this summer but this has it beat. I thought all 4 episodes were very well done and if they don't pump you up for this upcoming season, you don't have a pulse

By the end of the draft, boards are all over the place and you're really not taking a guy in the 7th with that much more conviction over the eventual UDFAs. That said, they did seem to have some conviction about him. You wonder if maybe they thought there was a better chance getting him after the draft than the guys they did draft, or maybe they also had higher grades on those guys too.

Lol @ Kyle's voice when he has to say "Buffalo's big, tall... strapping quarterback." You can hear just the slightest twinge of "I don't want to read this." 

 

Poyer is getting repped hard in this video. We signed him to a four-year, $13 million contract. Sheesh that's some value. Think his agent is working on an extension?

Yes. Also I may be looking too much into it but Shady is hardly in it at all

Maybe. I don't think Shady likes being on camera like that. I do like that they brought up the twitter spoiler incident.

Absolutely loved all 4 episodes.  Few notable highlights that come to mind for me:

  1. Behind the scenes in FA and Draft.  Love getting to peak behind the curtain on things like this and see their thought process, questions, etc.
  2. Seeing how bad they wanted David Sills V and just how the whole UDFA chaos actually works.  
  3. Kyle Williams speech at beginning of ep 4
  4. Josh Allen and everything Josh Allen.  Just cant help but love this kids attitude, work ethic, personality, and leadership already.  He just oozes "special" with his intangibles.  
  5. McD and Beane - You really get to see why they are rising stars as a coach and GM IMO.  
  6. Kyle Williams out takes at the end of Ep 4 doing the voice over - this had me laughing pretty good.

A little thing I noticed in episode 4 that I found interesting:

 

McDermott was explaining to Oliver why a penalty was called on him, and he turned his head/started walking away. Shaq Lawson grabbed Oliver to pull him back around to look at McDermott (22:56). Nice little leadership moment there.

 

Also a sign on immaturity on Oliver's part.  I noticed a couple of instances of that from him in the 4 episodes.  It was definitely one of the negatives about him heading into the draft.  Seems like the type thats going to need an attitude adjustement to fufill the potential many believe he has.

I think the undrafted free agency part was probably the most interesting to me. They seriously went all out for Sills, pretty interesting.

 

 

The only bad part is Kyle as narrator. I love the guy, one of my top 5 players of all times, but man, he's not good at that. It sounded like he was reading the material for the first time. No idea if it was his fault or not, maybe they didn't give it to him beforehand. 

 

The only time I've heard worse narration was in whatever Blade Runner cut had Harrison Ford's narration. I lasted about 2 minutes before turning it off. 

100% agree with Kyle as the narrator.  I know it wont be popular on this board, but he was awful

Last year was taped week to week during TC. I bet they are doing more episodes since these were only Free agency - end of Mini Camp.

Agreed. It would have been great to have Kyle on the DL alongside him, but I'm sure Alexander and Hyde can fill that leadership gap to some extent.

So, are there going to be more than four episodes, or is this it?

 

That's a question asked about five times already in this thread, and nobody knows the answer.

 

Also -- are people actually critiquing and criticizing Kyle Williams as narrator?  Geez, people, get a grip.  He was excellent, and clearly has an excellent sense of humor.

I wasn't excited, yet wasn't surprised,  watching Shaq Lawson looking totally gassed trying to slowly walk up Camelback mountain. He doesn't seem like a  finely tuned athlete for a guy fighting for a contract.....

Two episodes in and would highly recommend it to any Bills fan

 

A few thoughts so far:

  • The way the draft episode was cut together, I think there was more to the Oliver and Singletary picks than shown.  Just the way they didn't show before pick 9 or the picks before Singletary.  I think Oliver was the highest rated guy left once the 8th pick rolled around, but I think Allen may have been higher based upon the comments they made.  Especially once the Giants took a QB.   They made a point to show how they wanted Ford and Knox and wanted to trade up.  Singletary seemed like a BPA
  • It's hard not to love Hyde and his wife after this
  • Josh Allen is a huge dork, but great with the fans
  • Oliver has the mindset you want in a rookie and first round pick
  • Gore is bulkier than I thought
  • I'm ready for Bills football

I didn't like Kyle's narration I've got to be honest. I thought it was a bit cheap and he just doesn't have the voice for it. I was a broadcast journalist. Voice matters. 

 

Other reflections:

 

1. Really good to see the Allen-Barkley relationship is so tight. I think that relationship is more important going forward than many give it credit for. 

2. That facility upgrade is absolutely fantastic and the Pegulas deserve enormous credit for the way they have modernised the crbumbling infrastrcutre of this franchise. It will be a recruting tool going forward, no doubt. 

3. Love Bobby Johnson's demenour with his guys. Think that might be exactly the positive, young, energetic type of coaching hire that we needed for that group. 

4. Terry was sitting in on some of their pre-draft scouting meetings. Good. I want my owner in those discussions. Not having input but observing. Because sometimes the right process still leads a pick that doesn't work out and I want my owner to at least be able to form a view on the process. 

5. Lorenzo is a coach in waiting.

So I have watched all these and they make me laugh thinking about every team making one of these, even the bad teams (Bills etc), getting the hopes of their fan bases up only to be crushed by Halloween.

 

Some of the players seem like cool people, but we want to see wins, nothing else.

Which one and whats the time stamp?

 

Seriously, I'm too lazy to watch hours of Pre Season Hype at this time. 

 

 

 

Lol, what an odd sentiment. I'm too lazy to... watch TV.

 

 

He has a segment with his workout in the first one, the first half of the episode or so. The second one shows him and his wife at their house. You can scan through them and find it, unless you're too lazy.

LOL   I'm too lazy to watch when I get home ....   Don't want to watch 2 hours at work ...  It cuts into my posting time 

 

I've seen bits and pieces.  I'd rather just watch the "meat" of the videos

 

over the "canned" questions and answers.

Yeah, voice matters, but part of the fun of this is that it was Kyle.  He did a fine job.

Haha, that makes sense. It's tough for me to get that much time at home, but once I started the first, I stayed up pretty late watching the rest. You should take the time, it's almost all meat and potatoes, they're very good.

I thought the same thing but after re-watching I think he was joking about pretty much everything he said/did on his way up the trail
