  1. Since the NFL will never give Buffalo a Super Bowl, they owe us a draft.
  2. How do you successfully recruit when your coach is a one-year interim guy?
  3. Beane's in a funny place because he's talking to multiple groups at the same time. He's talking to the fans who want news and reassurance. He's talking to fellow GMs, listening for hints about what the Bills might do in free agency. He's talking to agents looking for weaknesses they might exploit in negotiations. I'm not saying he's dishonest. Still, it's hard to take anything he says this time of the year seriously.
  4. 98 players of the world's best tennis players competed in Miami. Only 2 remain. Go Jessica! Josh owns the Dolphins and Jessica owns the Bills. It's an interesting world.
  5. It would be fun if we beat them in the playoffs to prevent 4 in a row. And then won the Lombardi.
  6. The OL, RB room, and TE situation are all good. And Josh is an elite talent who receives elite pay. But Josh needs downfield weapons to throw to. We don't have a lot of money invested there and it shows. And, yeah, Beane does overpay sometimes.
  7. I was once in an active-duty Cav unit. I could have named my tank "Josh Allen" though that would have taken a bit of prescience since Josh wasn't born yet.
  8. You start off with some facts (FBI stats) then devolve into speculation. There are no stats that I know of measuring how many women bring false accusations because of buyer's remorse but they would be a subcategory of the 8% who bring unfounded allegations. So it's less than 8%. Unfortunately, I think the myth of buyer's remorse both encourages rapists (they have a ready-made excuse) and discourages women from reporting real instances of forcible rape.
  9. I'm not. I know women who were raped and never reported it.
  10. The two most interesting guys to me are Chris Tabor (obviously) and Ryan Neilsen. Our special teams weren't good last year. Hopefully, Tabor (whose ST were ranked 4th a couple years ago) does better. And our D struggled last season. Nielsen has been a DC before. It'll be interesting to learn what role he has with the Bills and how he helps us.
  11. I get what you're saying but I wonder if this a true reflection of the "days of old." Not all the old-time QBs were statues. Fran Tarkenton was an amazing scrambler. Steve Young, John Elway, Greg Landry, Otto Graham among others were hardly statuesque. If these aren't "old" enough, how about Tommy Hughitt who led the Buffalo All-Americans to a 9-1-1 record in 1920 and 9-1-2 record in 1921 as a dual-threat quarterback. Certainly, mobility seems to be an important trait now more than it was in, say, the 1980s. But there have always been mobile QBs.
  12. Knox stated that Kincaid was playing with a torn PCL in one knee and an aggravated injury in the other knee. "It's insane what he's played through"
  13. My guess is that Beane suggested to his agent that Milano might be a cap casualty. This keeps him with the Bills. My other guess is that making it a one-year contract might be good for Milano if he still believes in himself. If he has a good year, he'll get a decent FA offer from someone.
  14. To me it's not about having a true number 1 - though that helps. I just think about it a little differently. I want an offense that can threaten every part of the field. It can run inside and outside. It can pass inside, outside, short, medium, deep. I want defenses on their toes - uncertain and unconfident. That's the ideal. Our biggest shortcoming last season is that we didn't have a potent downfield passing game last season despite having a unicorn QB. We can and should remedy that.
  15. I loved Moulds. I always thought he was a HOF talent stuck on an offense that wasn't going to win anyone a trip to Canton. If I had a time machine, I'd go back to the year 2000, kidnap Moulds, bring him back to the present day, and introduce him to Josh Allen. He'd be a force with the current Bills.
