pretty cool film man! Thanks for sharing! Micah Hyde is a boss & i'm pretty excited to see what our secondary can do this year.. GO BILLS!

Watkins didn't say anything 'bad' in the article, but his "reasons" for wanting to play in KC versus LA were pretty much just a cover for him going where the money is. And thats fine, get everything you can while you can, but i think thats where the articles writer was coming from. Me personally, when Watkins was here, i was super excited to have him after watching him play at Clemson, but we all know how that turned out here. For Sammys sake, i really hope he has a solid year, otherwise man, talk about paying a ton of money to someone just based on their potential.

this thread is another perfect example of how long the offseason is

yeah all 3 of the voting options are positive. I don't really see the contrast between the choices so i'll choose not to vote since none of the options accurately or even remotely describe my opinion on the site. guess im confused too haha

i wouldnt wear a Poz jersery, or a Watkins jersey for that matter haha. But i do wear my T.O. jersey & Fitzpatrick jersey from time to time. T.O. is well, T.O. & Fitzy not only was the best qb we've had during the drought years (even though thats depressing) but he also was one tough dude. I am hopeful that Allen is the best of the bunch & all of us will be buying his jerseys in the future GO BILLS!

Tolbert last year was facepalm level horrible. This Ivory signing feels the same way imo. Not only is his production meh, but the contract isnt exactly cheap either. Surely we could've rolled with a rookie rb in the draft to fill that spot or a cheaper option in free agency. We now have 2 of the top 5 oldest running backs in the NFL, while also eating up a larger percentage of our cap than other teams. I really hope i'm wrong on Ivory & he has a productive year for our Bills, because we really need him to. LeSean needs him to. But i just don't get what screamed out loud about Ivorys play for our staff to say hey, theres are guy, lets give him $5 million, he makes us a better team... There really wasnt a better option than Chris freakin Ivory? lol This staff has made a lot of good pickups on defense, but on offense i think their track record hasn't been as solid. Fingers crossed it all comes together

Could also say: The Bills QB position has been a debacle for years, i do not know how an NFL team can let it be this bad for so long. We could probably insert a few different positions for areas in which the Bills have sorely needed improvement. You cant fix years worth of issues over night. We finally have a staff that appears to be committed to building this team thru the draft so we can have continued success & be challenging for Superbowls. I'd much rather they roll with what they have now & solidify the WR group next year, then over pay for a retread WR to appease a segment of the fan base short term. Splashy signings sound great, but those are the types of moves/mistakes past teams have made. Moves that were made for the now instead of the future & helped create a debacle that we know here as The Drought. I know its a long offseason but we really have no choice but to trust the process. If our GM sees a WR worth picking up once roster cuts are underway, i'm sure he'll make the move. But I don't see us investing 7-8 Mil in one of these big name wideouts when the goal for this year was to fix our cap situation & continue forward with our rebuild. Jmo of course GO BILLS

What Simms had to say all sounds good to me. He said Allen is supposedly 'wowwing everyone on all sorts of levels'. If thats true then we all are in store for one helluva player. Just like everyone I can't wait for the season to start & to see what this team looks like. One thing that made me facepalm a bit tho with the podcast is the one guy bringing up the stupid tweets again. I've never really considered Allens tweets to be anything really serious, but i do hate how often these media types like to throw it out there, just in the hopes for some controversy or something. Of course after Allen wins his 6th Superbowl they won't even remember those tweets. Anyways, thanks for sharing & GO BILLS!

its a LONG offseason... shoot yesterday we were commenting on a simulated game from Madden between the Browns & our Bills. Tomorrow the thread might be about how our 2 quarterbacks share the same initials but in reverse (AJ & JA) & how thats proof that these qb's are polar opposites of one another. I can't wait for the preseason to start... GO BILLS!

Well this video settles it. Josh Allen will be a better qb than Mayfield. The Bills are better than the Browns (which any Bills fan already knew before) Can we say SuperBowl already just from this simulation? I think we can! GO BILLS!

I remember seeing Lotulelei's name being thrown around here a lot prior to the Draft, as a player many thought the Bills should pursue. After hearing this news of his retirement, I'm glad the Bills didn't pick him up. To be honest I even double checked to make sure we didn't sign him, as a rookie announcing his early retirement is quite the Billsy thing to happen to a team.

This dude has only caught 47 passes over 5 seasons. Was on a 3 year contract paying $10 Million & he requested to be released after being asked to take a pay cut. Given his production, what makes this guy think he's worth more than what he was being paid? With his stat line he'd be lucky now to be added as a depth player somewhere. I know McBeane & Co. have a tendency to acquire Carolina has beens, but this is 1 guy I'd like them to stay away from. Only way I'd be okay with it is if they brought him in for the league minimum on a try out contract. Other than that this guy is a hard NO imo. GO BILLS!

Nice video.... thanks for posting this! Allen should really fit in well here within the community. Can't wait to see him wearing our red white & blue! GO BILLS!

fyi Jasper was drafted in the 7th round of the 2011 draft... Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jasper

Well at the time the Phillips pick made a lot of sense. Best player available at a position of need. Like other posters have mentioned, if this were the Bills of the past, they would've picked a player slated to go in the 6th round or something. It's refreshing seeing their plan come into shape. Yes you can say we were lucky he fell to us, but we also were patient. They didnt panic by trading more draft capital to move up. They stayed where they were & waited, & were rewarded by him falling to us.

The Phillips pick was so obvious that 95 other teams passed on him before we took him. As far as you saying the Bills are lucky, well whats that saying? Good teams create their own luck? One could say that thats what McBeane have been doing

Yep I agree. The Patriots looking that way too

its insane how many picks the Browns have.... Meanwhile, the Bills wont pick for a few hours yet haha To be honest I fully expect us to trade back into the 2nd round, I just don't know how they'll get there

Yep, the Bills also brought him in for a predraft visit back in 2017. Here's his player profile from the team site, including a pdf breakdown of his measurables & stats http://www.buffalobills.com/team/roster/marcus-sayles/3d797459-a017-4a0c-babd-2e3fa0b066fa/ Seems like he'd be a good depth signing. A tad undersized but he does have some skill

Seems most are glad theyre gone... me on the other hand I have mixed feelings. I know alot of them took part in charitable activities around the community, shedding light on causes or giving support to those who were in need. I suppose one could say they served as local ambassadors for the team as well in some ways. On game day we would see them doing their thing on the sidelines, but any other day of the week they were just as active in the community. Perhaps just doing another job or something more. For me this topic is a little harder since I used to know a few Jills & I know how dedicated to the team & fan base they were. The ones i knew were as passionate about the Bills as most of us here. Possibly even more so since they arguably couldve spent more of their actual life doing work for the team & franchise... It is what it is i guess

when's the Draft again? Cant get here soon enough haha

Fergie? Yuck haha. She looks like a mongrel. To each their own i guess. But yeah people dont use the search function nearly enough

I don't get it. Original poster said Rosen to Buffalo talk begins at 3 minutes but all I heard was that Bruschi was an idiot... sorry IS an idiot. Like everyone said. If Beane & Co. are that convinced of Rosen being THE guy, then concerns such as him not wanting to play here wouldnt be an issue. I just can't see us paying that stiff price to move up to #3 for a guy who doesn't wanna play here. Maybe back in 1983 but not now, not with this regime. Stranger things have happened of course... such as Bruschi being asked for his opinion when everyone knows dudes an idiot

Wow cant believe he got that much. For the past few years he's been one of the better values in terms of contract cost vs performance. A quick google search netted this result: http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/227476/patriots-legarrette-blount-one-of-best-values-in-nfl-history Well hey good for him. I'm sure he wanted a longer term contract but dude wanted to get paid haha

So far this offseason I've been pleased with what our staff has done, with the 1 exception of Chris Ivory. Ivorys age, performance, salary all seem questionable for why we'd want to add him. Legarrette Blount in my opinion would've been a far better option than Ivory. I dont know the terms of his contract with the Lions but I imagine he could've been had for 2-3 mil per year. Ive always thought he was a solid back. Runs tough & would appear to be a good locker room addition, just from his experience. Man has 2 superbowls now with 2 different teams. Good signing by the Lions... still wish we wouldve signed him & the Lions got Ivory. As with all things time will tell I suppose.
