I knew you would be cool about it. KJ will too. We have enough of the occasional troll to flame or ignore. KJ is a bills fanatic through and through as are you.

Gene to you’re point he’s had consistency now going into year 5 as Dorsey was there, just not the coordinator. We as Bills fans are fortunate and for us at that 50 mark have waited a long time for this unicorn. I at times was losing hope, but this guy will be our guy for the next 13 years at least. We will be talked about like the Steelers, Chiefs, and Packers moving forward and all of you deserve it. I can’t wait for one week from today.

Not sure on this debate here, but both BTB and KJ are good guys. Just shake hands, and hug it out. One of you use a YouTube joke thing and moving onto the Rams. It does sound like this stadium is well thought out and balances the increased costs by not passing on a dome cost to the fans. I love the ideas of above ground, tarps, heated seats, a more vertically built stadium, still we’re Buffalo. We play games outside. There’s no excuses once done to not head to games in November and December. I love what I’m reading.

Spot on Weoster. RW is elite, and now he has a solid defense, and some weapons. Most importantly Hacket is opposite world from Carroll who’s stuck in the 80’s. They are going to push KC and LAC. Even the Raiders are going. To be better. I read nothing into that preseason game. RW never saw the field.

Lamar’s not even on the same stratosphere as RW. I’m not down on Lamar, but his shelf life who rely too much on their legs and not their head and arm means he’ll get a nice contract like RW about $42 mil./yr. Unlike the greats like PM and JA who will see a third contract, I don’t see that with Lamar. He’ll get this nice contract, but unless he dramatically improves his QB skills, he won’t see a monster third like Rodgers.

Yep. Taron with some safety help at times as they have to deal with A. Robinson too.

No worries partner. I’m not that guy that has to correct posters with poor grammar or whatever as that’s silly as we post from our phones. I agree with that phrase though as there is meaning behind some of those words. When I think of rebuilds, that’s the Giants, Jets, Jags, and Lions. You’re right though we have to hit on these drafts over the next three years to supplant the 30+ players as we can only pay too dollar sparingly for FA’s. I don’t expect any big splashes over the next couple of years in FA as our current extended players will track with the cap increases. We need cheap rookie talent for a couple of years and develop them.

I must have missed this OP when you posted, but watching now. I swear Jeremy and Joe read this wall daily as this started out Jeremy’s monologue this morning. What I nice detailed interview.

As my old West Virginia manager used to say, “way to aim to shoot the dog” House. I thought it was funny. I know we can only vote for one, but a more complete answer for me is a conservative 12-5, and expect 13-4. I’m guessing Tre will be back for the Chiefs (well hoping), and that we pull the trigger on OBJ for a December-February run. That would be agony to have 3 ties. I know you were just kidding, but is there anything more frustrating than a tie?

GB, I don’t know if it will be a rebuild as the inference is starting kind of over, but you’re right they will have to invest in the replacements for the 30+ crowd. I don’t think it’s a big concern as you mention. I believe in Beane will eye the right talent in FA and the draft. We have $7.6 mil. In space for injuries or they surprise us with an OBJ acquisition. I believe the cap increases by $20 mil. Next year as the last estimate I saw, and the Andrew Brandts of the world project $256 mil. 2024. That will track well with our increases coming from Allen, Von, etc. They will have to hit on at least 3 draft pics each year to manage the cap. I’m not saying we won’t fill other role players, but I mean starters by the end of their rookie year. This is spot on amd couldn’t agree more. Things never stay the same. O Linemen, QB’s and Safeties usually can play well if incredibly talented into their 30’s, but that’s why you keep developing guys over a period of years like Bates, Boettger, J. Johnson, and Hamlin. It’s impossible to replicate exactly Hyde and Poyer because the bar is so high as the best safety tandem in the league.

Turbo, thanks for the thread. You may want to consider editing to signed with the Bills. I appreciate it bud. He seems like a dependable punter. That’s all we need.

I was just kidding around with you SDS. Thanks for the links all kidding aside.

I actually thought about this funny rant from Iverson. It’s almost as funny as this one… ORRRR… And there’s always this.. I thank my lucky stars we have McD vs. these lunkheads who couldn’t keep their cool. Always good for a chuckle these rants.

Dude, that is a serious blast from the way past. I remember him as a pre teen. Taking a wild guess AIDS. Not that I take lightly, just don’t remember his demise as he wouldn’t be that far me today.

Yup. Thanks Simon.

Dude that was funny. Refresh, refresh, refresh. Wash, rinse, repeat.

If you mean the show, earlier the guys said they were going to have Hamilton on to talk about that extension. They usually are more football talk, but they have to get some hockey in when big events occur. im sure tomorrow someone will get through and Sal can clarify the rules. He’s usually not wrong on these matters. I wish they had Andrew Brandt on tomorrow as that dude is the best on the business of football. I used to love his Wed. Morning spot on Ross Tucker’s morning show when he was on NFLR.

If we get any of that deadcap back, and I’m more confused than clarified after reading these posts. I’ll wait and ask Sal tomorrow. The pundits did commend Howard’s blocking, but who cares as he’s gone. Spilt milk.

I thought I heard the same. One of you guys should call Sal now before the extra point show is over or tomorrow morning. He’ll know definitively. Personally I would’ve gone with Knox, Morris, and Howard. Two athletes and a blocker. He also has sure hands so he could’ve been a big albeit slow target in the end zone for Josh.

For those listening to Sal’s stint on WGR right now, that was me that was the caller, and made these points that I wrote. FWIW the guys agreed with my points. Sal did say Settle hasn’t been practicing, but he expects when fully healthy will be a force for the Bills. I also like Sal’s point there may be an expectation we play more press man coverage this year which opponents don’t have a lot of tape, so should be fun. Elam will be much more effective early getting to play man, as that is what he did at UF. I watched him for his years at UF as all their games air in Tampa. Elam was very effective on man. Granted it’s college, but it is the SEC.

I feel that way from time to time. The short answer to the OP is yes. There will be a place for him.

Well said as always GB. I only pointed that out for the nervy posters, and although possible, I don’t think they pull the trigger on Haden. My guess is the earliest we see Tre is the Chiefs. With that said, they may play it safe and keep him practicing only until the Packers. I do see the inside penetrating more, and as a result, the mobile QB’s will have to roll out more than they like. Lamar is not a good passer and after 5 years he is what he is as a player.

Well written Marck. I’m glad to see you’re not doing this like some posters. Friendly advice to a newer poster, don’t be chicken little. You’re demonstrating you’re not, and that’s cool. Some guys think the sky is falling because we didn’t grab Haden. What we don’t know is we may do that the day after the first day of the season as we don’t have to guarantee his salary for the year, and see how long we need him. This is not the final 53. We won’t know that until the Rams, and then will minorly tweak again in the days after the Rams game. We took two CBs in the draft, have the best safety tandem in the league, one of if not the absolute best NCB in Taron, and Dane played from Thanksgiving through the playoffs. We’ll see if our 2st RD draft pick will be up to the test. Historically, we’ve played more zone than man, but with Elam’s skill set, we may start out as more of a man team for the first 5 weeks. Besides the chicken littles and I’m not pointing out names, aren’t thinking about the significant upgrades we made in the D Line, that makes a secondary easier to play. Von will demand double coverage, so Oliver and J Phillips will be singled and allow more inside penetration. Im not worried at all and why as it doesn’t help. After the Rams, our next opposing passing competition doesn’t start until the Chiefs in week 6. The Ravens had the 32nd passing attack last year, and I have to be sworn Tua can hit deep when 1st string defenses come at him. Him throwing a couple to Hill in a preseason against backups means nothing.

I agree. I would’ve kept Howard for his blocking ability and red zone target. We need more size in the end zone which is my reasoning. Sweeney has significant limitations physically. That’s why I like Morris much more as he is a closer fit to Knox in his athleticism. I wouldn’t get on the fear train on Tre. As Sal said yesterday, this is more about Tre’s career as a Bill, and airing on the side of caution that he is completely healed. Since the Rams is hard no, the next game we could’ve used him is the chiefs in week 6. That’s a possibility as it’s week 6. If not we have a bye so by week 8 he definitely should be there for the Packers.

Don't forget Wang. Never leave home without you’re Wang. 😇 All kidding aside, Shakir had a nice camp, and so did Cook. This team looks better than last years team, and no we won’t miss anyone who went onto other teams.
