Get a grip. Previous poster tried to conclude that bettors like us the same because we are in the top 10.  I was just pointing out that is factually wrong. Facts are facts even if they make you sad. 

Hence come on GUYS

trying to determine how this team is going to do off the odds makers I know there’s not ***** to talk about right now, but come on man there’s absolutely nothing you can read into that other than the fact that the odds make sure to give us good chance to make the Super Bowl, but not the best

Edmunds had a good season until the playoffs.  He was much better this year.  But I certainly am not buying that he is the top inside LB in the game.  Fred Warner Nick Bolton Logan Wilson.  I wish Edmunds the best of luck.  And good for him getting that kind of contract.  I am very happy we have Poyer back.  He is a champion.  Big time player.  We are better off w Poyer then Edmunds if I had to choose one.   

Well said. I know Poyer wanted Miami. Can you imagine what an advantage it is to have no state tax and perfect weather. We were lucky to get him back.

If bettting odds are the proxy of Super Bowl liklihood, we peaked at +125 last season.  Meaning our odds are 6x worse now than at peak betting odds love for the Bills last year. If we go to preseason, we have gone from +400 to +850, meaning the betters think our changes are less than half of last season. So quite clearly trending downwards, among betting money. 

 

Okay...but it's still March right?  I don't know the stats of teams that were trending down in Vegas in March and then go onto winning the Super Bowl....I just think it's meaningless right now with any team in the top 10ish now.  Philly was 12 last year.  So much more can happen from now until kickoff.

I mean yeah, the Texans, the Falcons, the Commanders, the Titans....pretty sure you can keep them way down all year.

I was ecstatic to have him back.  I kind of look at him as this team's Kyle Williams.  Both great leaders.  Both hard workers.  Both very good players.  

 

I split my time between Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale.  The weather in S Florida is ridiculous.  Sunny and warm almost every day.  It was unseasonably cold on Christmas this year.  Did not get over 50.  But that was an anomoly.  It was near 90 last Saturday.

 

My business is in Georgia.  So I do have to pay state taxes.

For me.....too hot in Florida and I don't like crawling slithering things. Guess I'm just a northeast guy.

I was in my crawl space adding insulation and I kicked I guess a snake nest when I was moving around.

 

I have plastic down there covering the ground so I couldn't see them but could feel the vibrations when they were slithering away to a corner.  I froze.

Beane has done an OK job as GM in 2023 thus far. Not overpaying for Edumonds and signing Poyer on a short-term deal was the right move given the circumstances. McGov was a nice addition to the O-line and Harty is a good role player add as he makes for an elite punt returner and a speedy gadget player. They also kept the core ST unit intact which is solid. But there still exists some concerning areas of the roster. RT and slot WR are areas of concern on offense as is depth on the O-line and the need for a backup RB (although given the cooling market I suspect Singletary will be back). Defensively Poyer is a nice re-signing but defensively there is still a big hole at MLB. Hopefully there are a few more moves to be made to sure up the roster ahead of the draft. I suspect WR will be a top priority in the draft as unless there is a trade made there aren't any real impact WR free agents left on the market.

You must be toughened up living in enemy territory. Those fools in Miami think they will be the big dogs in the AFCE now. Living down there is everyone’s dream. Sounds like a great situation you have and a Bills fan to boot. Nicely done.

Agreed. And the tap water tastes like well-traveled beach sand steeped in rotten seaweed. And I could go on and on, but I'm short on time. 

 

Homer Simpson said it best: "Florida?! But that's America's Wang!"

Compared to the Dec/Jan Buffalo survivalist specials we absorbed, it’s pretty perfect. I know there’s been weather disasters but all in all pretty good.

more Floridians  died in Hurricaine Ian than Buffalonians did in Winter storms

 

to be honest I don't want to be in Florida during Hurricaine season nor would I want to be there in the summer

and I sure don't want to be in Buffalo in the winter

We have gaping holes at ilb, cb, ol. Beane needs to do better.

 

Imo

 

We have a gaping hole at CB?

 

You know we drafted Elam in the 1st last year and Tre White is fully healthy, while Taron Johnson is one of the best Nickel corners in the league and there's even better depth now with Benford and Dane Jackson as great #4 and #5 options.

 

What exactly does Beane need to do better there?

Chances are if you live a reasonable distance from the ocean you’ll survive hurricane season but from Nov to June give me  Fla all day long. I’m sure any NFL FA would concur. Now after May all bets are off. You have 4 or 5 hours to play golf or be active outdoors before you’re inside.

Yeah I know, I was visiting my mother in Leesburg when Ian cut through the state....  We got tropical storm winds but that was it besides the rain

Find a true #2cb. It’s obvious coaches don’t trust Elam, hes second string. Benford and Dane are a dime a dozen. Taron, I don’t agree is one of the best nickels in the league.
