I think we’d get a ton of RPO’s. I’d hate to be the defender having to make that decision. If the O-line is even just decent, Henry would be trouble.

What some people need to say is that they are scared if he plays it might happen to him again. He’s a bad memory they don’t want to be reminded of. Just say that and stop saying he isn’t good or whatever. That’s nonsense. He’s an inconsistent, young player like most young players are. Does so good things. Does some bad things. If doctors clear him (and he will have gone through extensive tests) there’s no reason he shouldn’t be able to play if he wants to. If doctors don’t sign off he won’t be playing even if he disagrees with their assessments.

Players have to grow. He’s still early in career. Hyde and Poyer, in year 2, were nothing like they are now.

Depends on the politicians in place. New York State won’t make it easy for an owner to take those tax dollars and on the federal level, threats against anti-trust exemptions would slow that roll. Ultimately, relocation could be a possibility in theory but it will be a lot messier than the NFL might want to deal with. An expansion would be easier than relocating the Bills with a new to new-ish stadium having been built and a media recognized, world-wide fan base. Our fan base, today, is just as prominent as the Bills are in a way we weren’t even 10 years ago (because of social and 24 hour sports media). Bills Mafia is a character in the production of professional football now. Attempting to relocate would be ugly for that owner and the league, internationally, politically and possibly, legally.

He’s here for the next 2 or 3 years. I think his cap hits elevate after the restructure.

Glad to hear this news.

No doubt.

Games that count start in September. Plenty of time for the Jets to improve the talent level on their roster.

They have a lot of money to spend and need players at that position. Roquan wasn’t happy. At a certain point I don’t think he wanted to be there anymore.

Just here for the needless tears. 🍿🍿🍿🙃

Big assets is another relative term. What is big or too much? Depends on the running back. Controlling the ball doesn’t mean they abandon the pass. It means they need to play better situational football. There are times when being able to run will help them. I think Josh Allen can be more of a nightmare by having to do less. Big plays will still be there because he’s that type of QB.

Can you guarantee Bijan is there when the Bills pick? Or any of the other players you mentioned? All those players are very good. They all could go before the Bills have a chance at them. Maybe Beane sees Williams as a good player who provides an element they need, at a price point that leaves him with enough resources to grab good players at other positions of need. These moves aren’t made in a vacuum.

He’s a productive vet that would play a role. Every player can’t be an all pro because no team could afford that. Beane, like every other GM in the league, has to build a roster and every roster is filled with more players like Williams.

Useless is relative in this context. They will conceivably need to replace Poyer and Edmunds. That said, to me, Mueller’s statement means they need to find a way to score points and control the rock. That means offensive line upgrades and resources into the skill positions including RB. That’s how teams will beat the Jets D; multiple weapons and an ability to run. With Rodgers that’s what the Jets offense will be able to do.

That assumes they don’t have their own dirty laundry that Snyder might put in the street if they try to force him out.

The Jets D is legit. They have excellent talent at the skill positions and a lot of youth. Last year the Bills didn’t “handle” them. They were both very competitive games. If the Jets get good QB play consistently they will be a problem. Randy Mueller’s tweet doesn’t bother me at all. I hope he’s hearing things in his NFL circles. The Bills cannot stay static this off-season.

Why would he care? He still gets the same money. He’d just get it sooner. Most folks would like to get their money sooner than later.

3 coaches with Defensive Coordinator experience are already on staff. And they are familiar with McDermott’s defensive principles.

He probably won’t be there at 27.

Why couldn’t they do both?

Kissing a woman doesn’t mean he isn’t gay or even that he’s into women. He could be in performance mode trying to cover his true sexuality. I used to think the same thing you did until the day one of my friends came out. And he was that friend who always had a beautiful woman with him.

I think that was a consideration that would not have been much of one if building downtown could have been done without years of environmental impact studies and needing to relocate residents. In short, if it wouldn’t be overly costly and subject to legal challenges delaying it. I wanted the new joint downtown but it is what is.

I doubt there’s that many non-football fans to get in the area. The fans that choose not to go to games now probably will when the drunk and fighting contingent is marginalized. The stadium will be smaller too. I don’t think crowds will be an issue.

What amenities do you want that the new stadium won’t have? The reason stadiums are less about the game is because teams are trying to attract non-fans or fans that have multiple other entertainment options in a large city. Most Bills fans actually show up to watch a football game. The need in Nashville and Chicago or L.A. is not the need in Buffalo, Green Bay or Kansas City, etc.
