I agree this sounds like a decent approach in theory, but where were there cuts that could be made to accomplish this? The only think I can think of is maybe passing on re-signing Poyer? Unless you wanted to consider cutting a guy like Von already and taking a huge cap hit? I don't follow the dollars and cents side of the team, so I have no clue how that kind of approach would play out. Anyone up for presenting what a minor rebuild this past season might have looked like?

Outside of the loss in Miami, which had some extenuating circumstances, we started out pretty hot last year, and then went into KC and avenged the 13 seconds loss, so I don't think it was a hangover from the prior year. In fact, I think that was a huge motivator stoking the early energy of last year's team. If you recall, after we beat KC, we were basically anointed by the media as the eventual Super Bowl champs, Josh had surpassed Mahomes, yadda yadda yadda. Then we came out against GB and kicked the crap out of them for 30 minutes and then just sort of shut it down from an emotional/energy perspective and could never quite turn that light on again for whatever reason.

What are your top TWO takeaways from the Bills-Steelers game?
TheBrownBear replied to Chaos's topic in The Stadium Wall
1. Between Cincy and Saturday, our A team seems to have lost its fight. 2. Our offensive tackles are bottom barrel -
How to with John Wilson - Bills Tailgating

Thanks for the heads up. Haven't seen the show, but I've heard good things. -
The Ringer ranking of Receiver Cores - Opinions???
TheBrownBear replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall
Like others said, I don't have a problem with the ranking, but it should list Knox instead of Shakir. I think we are somewhere in that 12-20 range. This will obviously improve if Davis takes a step up and Kincaid turns out to be a real weapon. Maybe just wishful thinking, but I feel like there is some real untapped potential with our group. -
Very sad. RJ is a big reason I became a hockey fan. His calls were legendary. I can still remember exactly where I was in our little house in Depew when he made the May Day call. R.I.P. Rick.

I like a lot of the 30 for 30 stuff, and the shows are okay fodder for when I'm on the treadmill at the gym or looking up at the screen between sets. Otherwise, I don't see the need for it outside of live sports.

I'm sure it's been mentioned already, but what a luxury to have a TE pairing of Knox and Kincaid. Think about some of the truly putrid TE tandems we rolled out there during the drought years. 2009 was Shawn Nelson, Stupar, Schouman and Klopfenstein. Yikes.

Brandon Shell Reportedly Intends to Retire
TheBrownBear replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
I haven't been following the offseason or camp too closely. Is this a big loss with regards to tackle depth? I thought Shell was considered someone that could potentially start if needed. How's he looked in comparison to Tommy Doyle? And I would think this bodes well for Gouriage making the team? -

What team has the best NFL message board in the world?
TheBrownBear replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
I've been to all of them (yes, I know I'm a freak) and the best is this forum right here and it isn't particularly close. I'd argue this might be the best professional sports team message board in the entire country. -
I thought Thad Lewis filled in admirably when his number was called, so I'll pick him.

How Is Everyone Finding Updated Information?
TheBrownBear replied to CABraves-BillsFanSince1992's topic in The Stadium Wall
Twitter works fine for me. Other than hating Musk, what issues are people running into with Twitter that have made it worse for obtaining Bills news? Just curious since I never really used the platform other than following the links from the training camp report threads here. -
Holy cow! It's like the Beatles' first trip to U.S. soil!

Is the AFC East being overhyped this year?
TheBrownBear replied to Success's topic in The Stadium Wall
New England stinks, but the Jets and Dolphins will be for real. Buckle up - it's gonna be a hell of a ride. -
James has done great work cracking the code of "wokeness" (an odd and pernicious blend of Foucault post-modernism, Black radical feminism and Maoism) but I wonder if he hasn't driven himself a little insane with this stuff over the past few years. It's reached a bit of a religious fervor for him. Still, I'm glad that he gave me an understanding of the oddities I was witnessing with my wife in my own home and put her newly found catchphrases (intersectionality, praxis, radical love, embodied Social Justice, "Liberation", etc.) into a digestible context for me.

DeSantis For President in 2024?
TheBrownBear replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Biden will have to prove himself truly incapacitated/demented in debates (which honestly may happen) to lose to Trump. Republicans might lose the presidency for a generation on the abortion debate alone.
