Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Im going to get ripped for this but here goes.... Bills mafia is a terrible nickname for our fan base. I hate it so much. A small but vocal and ever present minority of fans are really drunken trash that I would never associate with in any other venue. You know this is true. You see them every game. My wife looks around at the parking lot and we can't wait to make it to our club seats. In a perfect world there would be seperate parking and gates for those willing to pay a higher price to avoid the drunken gauntlet on game day. 1 4 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChans Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Unpopular take: The Bills have really not been that talented in this Super Bowl “window” and I’m not that worried about the future because of it. 2020 was probably the peak in terms of overall talent and we were an AFCCG team going up against probably an All-Time Chiefs team. Since then, the water has found it’s level a bit between both of our clubs, which is why that was the last time they ever blew us out. They have a great team/org along with an All-time QB and we have our work cut out for us going forward. But it would not surprise me to beat them in the postseason once or twice in the next few years. We have a better shot than probably every other team than the Bengals. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruffalo Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Less popular: The Bills are and have been the closest team to the Chiefs level in the entire NFL since 2021, and if the Bills or Chiefs were in the NFC it would be a Bills v Chiefs Superbowl since 2020-21. Unpopular: Dawson Knox is way better than fans give him credit for. 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strive_for_five_guy Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Tom Brady on Fox will actually be interesting. As much as we all couldn’t stand him as a player, he’ll offer really unique perspective during a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His year 1 was adjusting from a predominantly man system and joining the NFL. His year two he was largely banged up. If he can start the year healthy next season I see him as a guy that has the potential to really outplay his current spot on the depth chart. yeah Elam will be fine. 2 hours ago, Sweats said: .....shoulve taken that big swing for some offensive weapons for JA yep, I was wrong on D-Hop.

fmr60 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Beane will be replaced by a GM who knows something about personnel and drafting. He survives only because he lucked out on one draft choice - JA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I blame McD for Elam not playing. Shocker I know that I blame McD. But Beane was right about Brown at RT and he did well all be it two season too late of fixing the OL. If Miller plays well this year and he finds a WR and an Edge that contributes immediately this off season it will be a huge success!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jahnyc Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 1. Elam is traded in the offseason for a fourth round pick in the draft. 2. Bills select a defensive lineman with their first round pick. 3. Bills lose Epenesa, Jones and Floyd in free agency because of salary cap constraints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilthyBeast Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 5 years from now Josh Allen will be out of the league and/or a shell of himself like Cam Newton and it will be dark days for many years again as Bills fans continue to watch Mahomes and the Chiefs rack up the Lombardis and realize the true impact of the events of the 2017 draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChans Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 9 minutes ago, Big Blitz said: Only thing I’m worried about is replacing Hyde - but agree with all this. I’m slightly concerned too but the fact of the matter is that Hyde effectively missed 2022, and was a shadow of himself this year with his head falling off. Poyer only slowed down first last year because he was the only one playing so it was obvious. And this year played a lot of dual LB/S big nickel hybrid which allowed him to compensate for the step he clearly lost. The last time we had both safeties playing at the elite level we are accustomed to was probably spots in 21. We have basically made due without that level of play since, retaining a pretty good defense and still being one score away from beating KC. So ultimately, if we get a mid tier FA or a solid rookie, I don’t think the defense is going to miss a beat. Part of that is why I do think McD is a good defensive mind and far better at adapting than folks give him credit for. Once Milano went down, and Dorian Williams played himself off the field, McD brought Poyer down and ran a ton of 3 safety looks. Poyer playing LB was our best option, McD recognized that, and our defense found its level. And it sucks that Taylor Rapp injured himself picking off Tua, because his absence meant we couldn’t use that look against KC without putting Hamlin or Cam Lewis out there, both of who completely suck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHAN Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) Unless the receiver they can get in the first round is considered an absolute can't miss, they should use all of the first 5 rounds on defense. That ought to do it. Edited February 13 by KHAN 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Even if it means possibly missing the playoffs next year(due to massive dead cap hits), I would do anything possible to get Diggs and Non off the team this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
