Donuts, we’re going with Potsie. That was funny and reminds me of elementary school. Bandit, you took you’re Wheaties this morning with the FBI stats. I guess D. Jax didn’t know Hitler hated black people as well, I.e. the 1936 Olympics. That was awesome when we beat them in Germany. Hitler was an equal opportunity hater. He slaughtered twice as many Slovak people than Jews, and was a supreme racist of so many ethnicities and races. How this moron still has a job is beyond me. I seriously hope he is fired, and no team will ever touch him again effectively ending his football career. I can’t stand any form of discrimination.

Hey Doc, I live in one of the dumb states to reopen too early in FL, and now we are back to no bars open, masks everywhere, and so on. I can only hope our cases start dropping like NYS. I grew up in Buffalo, and went to Oswego for undergrad at least so over half my fraternity brothers were from downstate. Makes me sick what happened to people in NYC, and a lot of my friends in medicine as I’m on the sales side, moved up there for a couple of months to help at the epicenter at least in the US. As far as the politics and misinformation, it’s caused me to sparingly watch the news. It’s just ridiculously confusing all of the stories changing each week, and turning a pandemic into a political argument.

So there are if you include practice squad roughly 2000 players, and this is the only one who spills we could be looking at something sweeping like 7 on 7, flag, whatever. How about maybe he is referring to headsets in all the players, no huddling, long sleeve under armor shirts, face shields, mandatory gloves, and so on. Someone like Schaffer would announce if things were sweepingly changing. This is much ado about nothing.

With the cap going down by somewhere in the neighborhood of 25-30%, I seriously doubt it. We already brought in at a better price, Jefferson, Butler, and Addison, and H. Phillips is back on the field. If we were to give up draft picks which we need as cheap labor, on top of that $20 mil. In costs. We need to keep that $20 mil. In cap space to extend Dawkins and Milano. Then we have to save for T.White in two years, and Allen in 3 (yes I’m assuming we take the 5th year option on both of the players). Ngokue is a luxury and the current management worked for three years to get us out of bad contracts. We’re not going backwards now. We already have the most talented roster I’ve seen in the Bills in 20+ years.

Ed, thanks for the post. At least not every media type isn’t bashing Allen.

Well, not sure how Brady is down to 8th when he went to 8 SB’s, and won 6. I hate Brady as much as the next guy, but now that he has all that talent around him, I’m betting he has a solid year. Maybe not #1, but higher than 7th. Brees should also be higher than 5th. He’s had multiple years above 70% completion stats.

Selfishly, if they have to purge talent next year, I wonder who is still in their prime we could use on this team. We have an excellent team, but I’m always open to more talent. DJ is all but gone, but that’s not enough, and no I would never want to see that guy on our team.

Well said Blitz. Why is the woman dumb for falling in love with a guy? She appears to be a very bright, and thoughtful. I don’t have a problem with her at all. I’m not as big a Sabres fan, so I’ll leave that to you guys, but as far as the Bills, she and Terry are doing well. Why critical of an ownership that brought us excellent coaches, management and players. Sound financial management and not trying to bandaid a team, vs. taking the longer approach. They methodically purged bad contracts, understood they made a mistake with Wrex, and we are in a better position now than we have been in 20 years. We are set up for long term success. was it a PR piece, yes, but people do this all the time.

Bandit, I was thinking the same thing. When will these players simply say this is wrong. I’ve said it before, All Lives Matter. If someone says these slurs, condemn him publicly. No matter if it’s against Jewish people, African-American people, etc. just stop. Don’t tolerate it. What is there to talk about? You can’t write this crap and explain it. Apologies don’t matter.

I don’t understand the problem on Diggs comments, or Arians for that matter. People will test positive and anyone not concerned when they are put in a tough position where to make $, they have to put themselves at risk is naive. At least Arians who is not in perfect health is smart enough to wear a mask, and face shield as he knows he is an at risk person.

This isn’t rocket science. Police brutality is wrong, looting peaceful store owners is wrong, comments against African Americans or any other group is wrong, including anti-Semitic comments. I have no idea why DJ would say something in writing as inflammatory is mind boggling. It just tells me if he is going to write it, he meant it, and that is what is in his heart. I tell my boys as my daughter doesn’t do most of the social media stuff, what they write can be held against them. Thankfully, they are good kids who are not prejudiced at all. If I’m the Eagles, I would fire him. He’s getting older anyway, but in corporate America, it wouldn’t even have been a discussion. If I said something like this which I wouldn’t, I would be fired on the spot.

CB, as I said he’s been great. He really has been great, but I gave you examples of guys who stood the time like Montana, Starr, and Captain America, Staubach. Mahomes has been great for two years minus the two games in his first year. No one argues that at all including me. I’m hoping he can be the goat As it would be fun to watch, but I’m still hopeful on Allen. God bless the Bills.

Rob, seriously bud. I’ve never been against you in most threads and yes this is a great country. I can agree there, but that doesn’t mean we don’t metaphorically have warts. I’m a white Irish Catholic guy for a suburb in Buffalo, now living in FL. So basically, I’m a stereotype of what people of color would accuse me of being prejudiced. When working as a Regional Sales Director, I was commended for having the second highest diverse region on the country. My VP asked me how I did it as they are a fortune 100 company and my answer was simple. I make an extra effort to contract with a diversity recruiter as well as my close contacts. I then thoroughly vet every person who has the credentials to get an interview. Then I simply will not see color. If they are good, they are good. It’s that easy. In sales, a lot of times you call you’re right hand man who is a peer Leader you’re lieutenant. Mine for most of the time at this company I used to call him Captain Wilson. Why? Because he was African-American, was a captain in the air force, a deacon, and just a wonderful man. He always had my back. Stopping any prejudice starts at home. You just have to look through another man’s lense. I do my very best everyday. I teach it to my children. We have a great country, and great people, but to think there still isn’t prejudice is naive. That’s the point t of view from again a formerly Buffalo native Irish Catholic goofball. I honestly don’t know why we argue over these obvious points.

There is more talk they will space out the cap loss which is inevitable for multiple years to reduce any given year. That would make sense to space it out, so bottom line is expect maybe a modest reduction for a couple of years and no increase. Too bad for Dak as he just lost even more leverage. My concern is more T. White. We can afford now Milano and Dawkins, but White will be a problem. With Allen we can wait at a minimum three years as we exercise the 5th year option which really helps. We can extend this year or next year Dawkins and Milano. T. White, we can kick the can to two years down the road, but that means we might have to tag Allen if he ends up being the man (and I expect him to be the man down the road).

Well our stadium isn’t pretty, that’s for sure, but we should be #1 in fan experience up there with GB, KC, and Pittsburgh. To not say we have the top 4 best fans and all together fun experience is disingenuous. I stop listening after that.

Fair GB. My apologies as if I make a mistake, I’m always happy to admit it. I too if that is the comment think he is incredibly talented, and yes, I’m a little envious we didn’t take him at 10, vs. trading back for T. White. A man can dream. What would have happened if we took him vs. Taylor that first playoff year. Its been talked about for a few years and I love so far what I’ve seen from Allen, but can anyone honestly say they wouldn’t have rather had Mahomes and draft from there. Thankfully, we at least have IMO, the best cornerback in football. I guess the upside is if we exercise the 5th year option, three years of Allen on a rookie deal securing other guys like White, Dawkins, Milano, and I’m sure I’m missing others over the next couple of years.

Mickey, great take on walking through the aisles, and for that matter the tunnels, bathrooms, etc. It is absolutely impossible to do social distancing in a mass event like an NFL game. Is it so bad to sacrifice being in the stands for the public good, but the positive is you get to watch all the games. The players have to sacrifice their routine to get paid their full amount, meaning the face guard and underarmour shirt long sleeve, and gloves to minimize contact, and maybe allowing extra time for people to run clean sanitized towels out between plays. None of which will protect completely, but it’s something. I for one want the games, want to make it as safe as can be thought of for the players, more importantly the coaches and staff as many of them are older, and still have some kind of entertainment for all of us. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. By 2021, I’m confident there will be a commercially available vaccine for those that want to take it. My guess is the spring so by the fall of 2021, we should be able to get this under control.

Gug’s, I was thinking the same. Brady has 20 years of success, Manning, 18, and Mahomes is anointed after two. I think he’s great to date, but the GOAT? We can talk in 10+ years.

Isn’t that where they filmed swamp thing, that iconic cinematic masterpiece?

I think they would have won. If Ralph didn’t force Wade to play that moron Johnson who threw for a whopping 166 yards, we would have won due to the defense. I used to get in arguments back then as people in Tampa thought the Bucs had the best defense. I reminded them they were #2, we were #1. Ill never forget that goal line stand against the Jets for four downs and stopped them every time. I know the Rams were incredible on offense back then, but our defense would have contained them. As much as I can’t stand PFF, the guy yesterday on WGR mentioned as opposed to having the most talented players, were are one of the best in not having flaws. He did of course (I think it’s in their contracts) mention the biggest ? Is Allen. He’s not wrong, but why do they feel so obligated to keep bringing up the negatives on Allen. Funny, almost in the same breath they talk about how dynamic Newton is as a QB. What they don’t say if you exclude two games from last year is Newton 6 of 8 years was in the low to high 50’s % wise for completions. He did rush more than Allen some years, but Allen avg. around 500 per season isn’t bad at all.

That was the Replacements team right? It was a dumb movie, but like watching a car crash, I’ve seen it so many times. Anyway, good call.

The only reason I voted no, is an active player is $400,000 +, but a practice squad player is $125,000. I absolutely agree increasing the practice squad To 20 makes perfect sense or at least 16 which is being thrown out there by some. We need enough bodies to deal with the virus. That part is obvious. Just taking a guy off the street is not the best plan as it’s expected the virus will take people out for at least two weeks. If more bodies have been practicing and know the playbook, and strategies, we’re in better shape.

Hey Bill, it looks like they can get out of it in a few years, but They are spreading out the hit over a long time, and after the pandemic, the cap will go up. Then as far as Allen, he is not Mahomes who went 4 years, and Allen as a 1 st round pick the Bills can extend to a 5th year So they have three years to make sure. If they still weren’t sure could tag him for another two years. They are so safe on him to make sure he is the guy. I think he is the guy, but at least they have breathing room, and if he is the stud we hope, he’ll get paid and the other studs like White will already be extended. It’s a great business decision and strategy.

It was a smart move as they spread out the bonus, etc. over 10 years. They have serious as do the other 31 teams of contracts during the economic impact of the pandemic. They locked up their guy, he has $ for a long time, and they spread out things for an extended period of time. It’s genius.

I:with Rico on his previous post. Go look it up as my belly hurt laughing so hard. Man has a sense of humor.
