I agree, but the Jets had the cash to burn with a number of their better players still on a rookie contract. Was close for me between him and some others.

totally fair comparison. totally different skill sets between a foot doctor and neurosurgeon also.

agreed. I’d blame poor play calling in the red zone and the D.

Not sure what this has to do with the Bills but was just telling someone I hadn’t seen these in awhile.

that GIF. What player is that. Intense!

I think we saw a different team. Yes, they looked it via body language vs. Cincy, but those mistakes were one of a flat/lifeless team, and they looked it to me, esp. on the defensive side.

getting our money's worth from the Secondary for sure. The DL and OL are poor investments, although some hope for improvement this year. LB is pretty interesting, seems the potential for a huge ROR there with Milano and potentially Klien or Williams (I'm high on Williams). With the offseason improvements to receiver (Kincade, etc.), OL, Josh's elbow, the DL (Floyd, Groot improvement, that high Denver pick whose name escapes me) all stepping up, this could be a dominant team. The rest of the league improved on paper, but so did we. I'm okay with it, when you have peak Tre, Hyde, and Poyer that's a shutdown secondary. Issue last year was they were all hurt for durations of time. esp. in the playoffs!

the problem is they looked that way the week prior v. Miami also. Big issue and inexcusable, IMO.

bring back the 1990 uniforms for throwback.

too few years. He could have fallen off a cliff. If a good start to your career as a QB is all it takes, then just retire after the first couple of years and make the HOF. Horrible precedent. People like Marino, Kelly, Montana, etc. put it a lot of elite years to make it.

what's your preferred alternative to the CPI for inflation measuring?

except the CPI is the most commonly used measure of inflation

@MasterStrategist are you from PGH also? I've noticed a ton of Bills fans here! (I'm in the North suburbs). I know a few other posters here are from PGH area. We need a TBD Pittsburgh branch Great to see what Hamiln has been doing. The U Pitt to Bills defensive backfield connection is strong at this point with Hamlin and Jackson.

if CPI underestimates inflation, then @Einstein point is still correct, the paper raised it’s prices in response to inflation. His CPI calculator showed the paper today at $28, and if underestimated the paper should cost more.

Come on Hop. Just sign here already

this is a good point.

the Wall Street Journal is $4 a month. The Athletic is $1 a month if you hit both with promos. Perhaps Buffalo News has a promo? they should run ads like any other paper. The people who work for large businesses are also neighbors.

I think Von will be fine. This was a less serious tear than the one from his 20's. Also, we have Floyd to cover in Von's absence. Greg R. shows up when he has someone opposite him to take blocks. Hyde should be fine. Poyer did get beat up, that's likely the result of playing too much and covering too much at the position due to Hyde being out, and now we have a healthy Hyde and Rapp to take the load off Poyer. I'm more worried about whether we will continue to see the passive defense of the past few seasons or a more aggressive D that can get it done in the playoffs.

Really, with Rapp it's almost a trio back there. Interested to see how Rapp is used.

I agree with you here, but I think some more context with the bolded is warranted. The Bills do have a choice, and it appears they made strides to addressing this during the past offseason. What is the choice: stopped the designed runs, the short yard plunges, and use a short passing game and/or a short running game to get those yards, along with an improved IOL. The Bills brought in good short yardage WRs, and 2 RBs who are capable of picking up short yardage gains. They also have a RB, Cook, who should be explosive in a screen game/Kamara like usage situation. Now that Josh can get rid of the ball quicker with YAC WRs like Kincade, TEs like Knox, and have the threat of a running game, he hopefully won't need designed running plays (at least until the playoffs), and won't need to scramble to pick up as many first downs with WRs running a variety of route options. All that said, if he needs to scramble to get a 1st, go for it. good points! But RBs have shorter careers than other positions for a reason. We don't want Josh as a QB/RB.

While Disney may be able to purchase Netflix, I have a hard time envisioning a Disney acquisition passing antitrust review since it also owns Hulu.

from what I read Knox and Kincaid are there. And Allen is there passing to the TEs.

hahaha. where was he shopping? Had to be somewhere in Fla?

is the game on TV?

what about Vonte Davis. He could lead the Charge, then stop and go back into the tunnel! I mean, he is a legend.
