This board is unbelievable. I understand disappointment. But three weeks ago, all were ready to crown Josh. He made some bad throws against the Pack in the 2nd half and now he is pressing. You can see it in his face, body language and decision-making. But he will sort it out. Needs to start having fun and let the game come to him. He will. Everybody need to chill.

Love Shakir, but Sunday was not McKenzie's fault, IMHO. Knox, McKenzie & Cook open short A LOT, Josh insisted on looking long. He will get that fixed.

We going to be all good!! Super Bowl? Who knows, but we are winning the division and will host a playoff game or two. Anything can happen from there.

Oddly, not the least bit worried about those games. 1. Miami - quirky game with the heat and injuries. Bills going conservative on 3rd and 22 and Miami thus completing their one deep pass to Waddle. Balls slips from Josh's hands with McKenzie open. We outplayed them significantly and won't give them air in Buffalo like we did in Miami. 2. Jets - Josh really did us in by trying to force the ball down the field when he had options short. Kubiak's analysis in the news hits this perfectly. Josh will adjust, he was just being pigheaded and it cost him and us. So long as our boy Josh is healthy, very, very confident in these two at home.

There is no window. I am sure every NFL GM/Coach combination feels the same way, but Beane and McDermott seem uniquely able to build, develop and structure players and contracts so that we can remain competitive all the time. I believe they would have found a way to be in the hunt even if we missed on Josh. But we didn't miss on Josh, they hit it out of the park. For a decade, sky is the limit. If Beane and McDermott still want to be doing this long in the future, I have every confidence they will identify and obtain a quarterback that will put us right back in the hunt. Though I doubt we will ever see another one quite like Josh in my lifetime.

Love the young man's attitude. His press conference is inserted in the thread a couple pages back and it was perfect in my opinion!

Screw the Jets.

Hines is only 25 too.

Does not really mean anything for Motor and Cook other than more competition. Hines has no guaranteed money after this year. Bills can keep one, two or all three of them, whichever they like and can afford. For example, I can see them restructuring Hines, give him some guaranteed money and signing Motor too. Cook will still be pretty cheap. They have lots of options. So I love this, even if Hines proves to be only a rental, a 5th/6th is not too high a price. Moss is no give at all.

Sad to her. Does he have children? Mafia time? RIP.

I love this post and the one it replies to. Hilarious! Love that Bills fans have long memories. And at least some are as old as I am - Jimmy Cefalo 🙂 I continue to be impressed by the depth and validity of our production in this thread. But Eli? That one surprised me.

The Dancing Bear. Bear for obvious reasons. Dancing because he can really move for 3-fitty.

I agree with the OP 100%. I started a thread "Tremaine Must Remain" - and it got a lot of love and a lot of flames. Lots of knowledgable fans on both sides. I respect the "he's JAG" posters, but I will never understand them. I see what Tremaine does and I know the game well enough to know that I am not imagining things. On the other hand, I also see some of the things the haters post about. Personally, I sure hope we re-sign him and I would make it an absolute top priority. It is almost like Tremaine is not one player, it is "Edmunds and Milano" considered together. They operate as a unit. Together they are unique in taking away the middle of the field in what has become a passing-dominated game.

Cool story!

Have to say, this thread is an impressive ball of hate. Not many listed I don't agree with.

I would love to have him, but we are pretty tight against the cap. I like the idea of Epenesa or Boogie plus a third or fourth if Beane thinks he has space and wants him. But my instinct . . . stand pat. I would rather have him than OBJ, no one can stop our offense now. Develop Shakir and Hodgins is the play IMHO.

Have a great time! It will be memorable. You can park close pretty cheap ($30), it is Buffalo. When they opened Joe Robbie in Miami years ago, I was standing behind Ralph Wilson waiting for tickets at Will Call. His comment: "Can you believe what they get for parking? They would skin me alive in Buffalo if I tried that." Great game, Bills won.

Hyde is the man, he is very valuable. Don't like this thread.

Just. Say. No. Emphatically.

Hate that guy. Why did they ever follow that fool's lead? He quit doing it because the team was terrible, then they won a few games and he came back. Gutless.

Hate this deal for the 49ers. I think you get David Montgomery for a 5th and I would rather have him than McCaffery. McCaffery has a higher ceiling, but Montgomery has a much, much higher floor. McCaffery's floor is at ground zero due to injury risk, IMHO. Montgomery is bigger, more powerful and catches the ball very well. Get him for a 5th and be happy!

I don't think Moss has what it takes. Too bad. I would like to see us add a quality power back. Montgomery for me. He takes the Moss role. Big, runs hard, catches the ball. Also reputedly a very good character guy. Would like him more than McCaffery even if they cost the same. (Given history and fit - I understand McCaffery's high ceiling). Love Motor, excited about Cook, and Montgomery would give us that high-quality big back. ESPN says you should be able to get him for a 5th. Maybe try to make it a conditional 5th, but 5th does not seem too steep.

I had hoped to never again see the name Vlad Ducasse

Humble and hungry -

Makes a huge difference that Jones and Phillips are stout against the run AND push the pocket.
