I think many who are clamoring for us to add interior OL or WR help are off the mark. Some of us may not love what we have at those positions, but I think McBeane really does. They have upside and "their guys" in their minds. We could add a piece or two in a few weeks after other teams cut down, but I don't see anything earth shattering here.

Foxborough Mass....what the hell is there to do in Foxborough? Its not in Boston, its damn near an hour away with traffic most days. THAT is the worst city to visit on the NFL list.

Considering Bodine has been a starter for four straight years in Cinci, I would list him (not saying he is a world beater, but has never NOT been a starter in the NFL). Zay Jones should not be discounted, he had a tough rookie season due to the space between his head...but I think he could crack "starter snaps" on some NFL teams for sure, not saying he would be a top two, but I think he can be competent. Kerley has been a slot starter for much of his career. Ivory has been a starter, at least shared carries throughout his career. We have no clue what we have in Allen at QB. I am not saying we will be even close to the best offense in the NFL, but having half of your players as starter level across the NFL isn't NOTHING. We have question marks, so does more than half of the league. And bottom line, really good coordinators can mask deficiencies and help pull out the best of players talent. Track record isn't awesome for Daboll in that regard, but hopefully he has learned a thing or two over the past five seasons and we will see a different, more seasoned coordinator. My two cents.

where on earth are you getting this list???? not even close to correct

Stay downtown and then uber to and from the game if you like to drink. Or drive to Hammers lot if your not going to over indulge. If you stay in Orchard Park there isnt much to do around there. what do you like? do you like live music? do you like craft beer? do you do bars? love food? Craft beer: Big Ditch, Community Beer Works, Resurgence and Pressure Drop are all downtown area and have great beers Restaurants: you want to get chicken wings obviously. 9-11 Tavern is in South Buffalo and has great wings, you could take a day trip out to East Aurora on Saturday (25 min from downtown) and eat at Bar Bill Tavern - they have amazing chicken wings AND beef on weck, which is what you want to eat if your looking for Buffalo cuisine. If you want a "nice" meal, like treating yourself to something fancy, either go to Tempo or Bacchus (both downtown and both amazing). Bars: if your looking for bar experience, check out Chippewa for at least a half hour, just stroll up and down it on Saturday night and you will see some craziness, its not usually my scene because its pretty young, but still fun to see. There are also a couple bars you can pop in and enjoy yourself and not feel old (The Local, Bada Bing). I would go to any of the above mentioned breweries though myself. Culture: other than live music I can't help you. Culture is lame. If you want to see live music, Buffalo Iron Works has good bands, Town Ballroom and The Tralf Music Hall are both right down town and are bound to have some good music friday or saturday night. Gameday: def. go to Hammer's lot because the TBD meetup will be there, and theres always tons of guys and gals from here that you can meet, and there will be plenty of food and drink options at that tailgate for an out of towner like yourself without any gear. Get there around 7 and enjoy yourself. Might be worth it to leave for the stadium around 11:30/11:45 if you want to see the fieldhouse or the Bills store (if you are into that, its very kid geared though) or just to walk through the other parking lots and see all the tailgates on your way in. Take a few walking drinks and enjoy yourself. I would personally offer to hang with you during any and all of these activities, but I will be in Delaware the night before the home opener for a wedding. Will be getting in the car and driving right after the wedding, 8 hours back to Buffalo and jump right into tailgate mode. So perhaps I will see you at Hammers/TBD HOT - ENJOY!!!!!!

Jim Kelly Blue is my jersey. I also have a custom BEASTMODE marshawn lynch jersey

you cant stop someone from working to improve on their own lol...could you imagine that? Of course the kid can work on his own on footwork/passing/play book whatever. He can even hire his own coaches to help him, they just cant be Bills coaches.

I couldn't agree more. And if you take if over the years you get similar results. Sure its cold and windy, but that hasn't stopped weak armed Tom "The Kid Kisser" Brady from lighting it up in cold and windy conditions. I HATE hearing the media say that Buffalo must get a big armed QB to play in the elements, such horse shat However, I don't think thats the reason this FO chose Allen. They went with all around potential here, and I will support it until it is either successful or the wheels fall off and they try again (or likely, some other FO combo)

buyers remorse on Allen already : ( (I am joking)

agreed...there are reasons for optimism, and reasons for pessimism. I am an optimistic Bills fan because its more fun to positive about the hope for your favorite team. Last year I was positive but took a "wait for the baby" approach. They showed me the baby by jettisoning overpriced/not process type guys and creating cap room for the future while STILL making the playoffs with an average at best roster. I shall take that same approach this season, especially in regards to Josh Allen.

dude, its not "click bait" because it was said on air, in an interview about the sabres...he said it rather casually as in "this guys was so awful, McDermott wouldn't even be in the same room with him", and then said "I wont get into a specific instance they had because I cannot confirm it". So he is confirming McDermott really disliked Brandon but wouldn't confirm an occurrence between the two because he was not sure. That is good journalism. What is difficult to comprehend here? There are two separate statements, one in which he confirmed, and has now been confirmed by other sources (McD really disliked Brandon) and one he would not confirm (a specific occurrence between the two). click bait, lol darryl is Russ?

plays well when? Hopefully he wont even have stepped on the field yet when free agency opens next year...I mean I agree people might want to be part of a good offense with a good QB, but they wont know if Allen is that or not yet

Hopefully an exciting season of McCarron playing alright enough QB to give us a chance to win games next year while Allen rides the pine and develops

Peterman gets cut if Allen shows he is even halfway capable of running the offense One or two of those WRs get PS'ed Lee gets cut (hopefully) (Long snappers are extremely specialized and valued. No, not anyone can just do it - in addition to their other duties. Once you master the skill, and do it correct every time, your an NFL lifer. There are a couple of camps that pump out basically all the long snappers in the NFL, its actually quite interesting. I don't have time to search for the article but there was a great one a couple seasons back about the road to the NFL as a long snapper. Quite good)

I stand by my comment and we will see

not to mention they dont really have an aerial attack. Ridley caught 65 balls and then a bunch of dudes caught like 15. Thats what happens when your passing offense generates 2000 yards all year....

I really don't see us adding a WR at this point, unless one of our guys goes down. I think they see upside in some of our younger guys (and obviously just drafted two). They add a WR and then cut a guy they just drafted? Benjamin and Zay are locked in as the top two, Holmes they like obviously as they kept him all year last year when comp pick was out there, and the rest are young guys with potential/special teamers. Jeremy Kerley was signed and could be a nice 3rd WR, he has shown he can haul in a lot of balls in the NFL when given a chance. Dupree/Streeter/two rookies rounds out the WR room. I could see Dupree or Streeter cut if someone the team really likes becomes available but I would be surprised. *I am not saying I am OK with the WR room, I just feel like the team is. I would be all about adding a RT and another guard to the line after teams make some cuts. I could see that as an option.

give it time...its a lot more fun to be hopeful than hopeless...and we just don't know (and wont for a few years)

Cool, but AZ still couldn't have matched if we only offered 12, our first second and first third Like I said though, I am happy the FO felt enough conviction to make the move up to get THEIR guy (I hope)

I really wanted Goodell to say Josh Rosen, instead he said Allen....I was very disapointed. I just dont see it. Watched him talk football with Kirk Cousins on some pre-draft thing, a three part series, each video about 5 minutes. Doesn't change my overall disappointment with the hail mary pick, but at least Allen comes from a pro style offense with pro style terminology and reads. That does not mean he is ready for the NFL, and will really need at least a full year to sit and learn and prepare. I hope we give him that time. While I don't like the pick over Rosen, or the fact that it feels like we got fleeced for both second rounders for just 5 spots (given what little AZ had to give up to go up 5 spots), but I am glad our FO had the conviction to identify their guy and then go up and get him. Now I will root with everything I have for the kid, and hope he can correct all of his many faults at the QB position and develop into what we have been missing since Kelly. There is my rational take on a disappointing pick. (LOVE the Edmunds pick!)

at least you are consistent : )

I love to see so many Dr. Strangelove fans in here...I never meet anyone who has A) seen it or B) likes it...good on ya fellas

"Gentlemen, you cant fight in here! This is the war room!!!"

There is plenty of tape out there of Josh Allen literally missing screen passes

I AM indeed weird, and shirtlessness does tend to attract my attention
