Wow, great story! Did have to mention the Giants won? ?

I don’t remember.?

Good response! Great time to be a long suffering Bills fan. We are about to get the payoff for years of heartache.

This signing makes me wonder if the Bills will sometimes use a 5-1-5 defense at times against a team like KC or Baltimore. I keep thinking about how the Giants ran a package in the 2007 SB to beat the Pats high powered offense. I think it was called ‘Nascar’ because it put the 5 best pass rushers on the field without compromising size up the middle.

Correct, take out Waddle and put in Bates. i can see been flipping Bates to a team for a fourth or fifth before final cuts. Hopefully showcase Bates In preseason and get back the 4th from the Diggs trade.

Ok. I said by July 4th. That is 15 weeks. I’m not sure where you got 4 to 6 weeks. I never said that.

Is this a fact or your opinion?

I really believe there will be. Baseball and basketball is coming back sooner than later.

Sports are the very thread that holds a ton of relationships together. It’s in times like these that we need sports. Want to get people to stay home, give them something to watch. Want people to take a break from bad news, watch sports. Sports would help not hurt. Play the games with no one in the stands and offer pay per view if need be for owners to make money. Sports will be back sooner than later I think.

There will be football in September. There will be baseball before the 4th of July. My two cents. This country will not stay on hold for too much longer. Herbie sounds like he had a tough day homeschooling. I believe he has 4 kids!

Yep. Lots of posters don’t want to give Ford the chance to get better at RT. A position the Bills have struggled to fill for a long time. Love for Ford to be the guy for the next three years. He is on a very affordable team friendly contract. Solid right tackles are getting paid pretty good these days, look at Conklin.

Absolutely. I also love that Beane is a GM that recognizes and appreciates how important o line is. Beane also doesn’t struck me as a stubborn GM. He will change if necessary.

Keep spreading the truth brother. I don’t understand why people want to look past Bates and give him a pass but these same posters want to say Ford can’t play. Ford DID improve and had a decent season playing RT. My hope is with an entire off season and hopefully given a set position he can further improve. Why don’t posters want players to improve? Look at Daryl Williams career. He didn’t start every game his rookie year and came back his second season and played great. Why can’t that happen for Ford? Players improve.

I think for could compete with Feliciano and possibly beat him out or hold the spot if Feliciano has to cover for Morse. Either way the Bills are set to absorb injuries on the oline and not miss a beat.

I don’t think this means that. This is the replacement for Waddle. He also can play anywhere on the line. Might mean Bates is fighting for a job.

Murphy is terrible. I tried to listen to WGR last week heading into FA. I felt bad for anyone who listens to him. Fountain of misinformation. His audience has to be down to people who have no idea what else is available.

I would love to see Hot Rod in a Bills uniform. Not sure he is a big upgrade over House, but as a UGA fan I’d like to keep saying ‘ come’on Hot Rod’.

Sorry for your loss ma’am. Thank you for letting us know that he enjoyed following the board right up to the end. It speaks to how powerful sports is and in particular our Bills. May he Rest In Peace.

Well, he’s right. And the running back position is going to be added to, so the Bills will probably rival the Ravens there. The Ravens don’t scare me at all. I look for Jackson to have a very big regression as teams have a years worth of tape and can study schemes which slowed him down. KC is the hurdle now.

I believe edge rusher is important in the NFL. However Sean and Leslie get the most out of their players. I don’t see a big trade or signing at this position coming. Some players will improve from last season. Levi and Johnson are two important players to watch. Josh is of course the focus of the offense and entire team. If he continues on the same trajectory he will be productive at the level to get this offense to that mid 20’s average score a game. another dynamic running back is for sure needed. If Singletary got hurt the offense would be more pass reliant and using Josh’s legs to move the ball more, I don’t want that. Need another RB to SHARE carries. Diggs need to become part of the offense. We have heard from multiple players that Daboll’s offense isn’t easy to learn. I hope Diggs can pick it up quick and develop chemistry with Josh.

I bet we see a lot more of the ‘Gilmore Glance’ this season. Stephon looks up at the Jumbotron trying to figure out whose fault it was that his man blew by him.

The jet sweep with him against Tenn was a pivotal play. Like to see him catch the ball a little better but he can make plays.

I just don’t see it. The type of people who are the decision makers for the NFL don’t flinch easily. There is plenty of time to wait and see.

Agree with this. Honestly the player with the highest ceiling not yet seen on a consistent basis is Foster. He is really one of the handful of players that could take a step up and have a significant impact.

Ravens way under. All dang day.
