  1. Not just because of importance, but also degree of difficulty. QB is arguably the most difficult position to play in any sport.
  2. Nard dog is the LB
  3. This isn’t necessarily an either/or situation. It’s to be expected that Milano would be rusty. Also he’s been hurt a lot lately and is north of 30 now so washed is very much a likelihood. But Williams sucks in coverage so Milano will be given a long leash to show what he has left in the tank. It’s sad, but this season is probably his last in Buffalo. Unless he reworks his contract. A team can’t pay guys that keep winding up on IR.
  4. My college age son doesn't care much for sports - other than Esports - but he used to watch football and was in the room when they called the offsetting OPI/DPI penalties. He just laughed and shook his head, then indicated that stuff like that is one reason he doesn't watch games anymore. Overall it is a joke.
  5. I think Allen wins it this season, but that it’ll be our championship. A SB just isn’t happening with McD.
  6. for several seasons now I’ve been hoping for a John Elway trajectory for Alan. I think the issue might be that our DBs are well suited to zone, but not man. If an opposing offense can beat our zone then we do not have an answer since we’re poor in man. Also when we have to blitz to create pressure it forces us into man and creates the same problems. Obviously these issues present themselves when we play against the best QBs/WR corps/offenses.
  7. The Bills have to pay him (unless they trade him) so Elam will get a chance to compete for a roster spot next offseason. Expectations should be zero for him though.
  8. I clicked on this thread thinking this would be lame. But that is actually really fun.
  9. Maybe not coincidentally a spot on the PS just opened up. Thanks for the info.
  10. I loved watching NCAA basketball, NBA and the MLB in my youth. I haven’t watched anything other than the occasional playoff game in many years. I never cared much for the NHL so not much happening with me there. NCAAF and NFL were always my favorites and still are, but my interest isn’t what it was. I still watch the Buckeyes, Bills and other games every week, but my consumption of other games has fallen in a major way off this year. Homogenization of schemes, spectacle over game play and the outsized impact of the refs are all reasons. I am more likely to watch the X Games or a less popular college or pro sport than I am an NCAAB, NBA, MLB or NHL game.
  11. I (obviously) am very happy with how this season is going. We’re going to be in the playoffs again - probably with a very high seed. I’ve beat this horse to death. In the playoffs McD’s Bills are 5-0 against 5-7 seeds and 0-6 against 1-4 seeds. I’m rooting like hell for that to change in a big way this postseason, but he’s got to earn it. I’m choosing to enjoy the ride this season and see how far we go.
  12. It is worth pointing out that he’s handing her eviction with his lawyers, not dragging her out of the house by her hair. Reading some of the comments here you’d think it was the latter.
  13. You really need to move out
  14. He’s not even close and if he wasn’t a Bill, then no one here would ever even mention him. Here’s a list of some other NFL WRs who play a lot of slot, many of whom can also play on the outside. Since all WRs are considered together, versatility should be considered a plus: Amon Ra-St. Brown Nico Collins CeeDee Lamb Keenan Allen Cooper Kupp Chris Godwin Jaden Reed Jerry Jeudy Jakobi Meyers Christian Kirk If you’re going to put him above that whole list, then you’re delusional.
  15. He’s not close. Top 6 WRs in NFL are supposed to each get a Pro Bowl spot/vote. I could make an argument for 10 or so WRs and he’s not one of them. That said, he’s a good WR and I’m happy to have him on the Bills.
  16. Love Pixar’s stuff overall. They’ve been somewhat Disney-fied since they got bought, but they’re still good. The older stuff is all top shelf IMO. Finding Nemo might be on my top 10 movies all time
  17. I told people here that they were going to love Amari.
  18. Every year on the last episode of SNL Michael Che and Colin Jost write each other’s jokes and tell them on air when they see them for the first time. Hilarious. Worth youtube-ing them all.
  19. Once. It was a letdown. The meats didn’t really work that well together. Despite the added difficulty and expense the dish resulted in something that was no better than a turkey IMO.
  20. That would only happen if a team claimed him via waivers, which obviously none will do.
  21. It eliminated any chance of his injury guarantees kicking in for next season. $27M of his $30M 2025 salary is guaranteed for injury so that would be a huge hit if he injured himself working out at the facility. His salary would have fully guaranteed on day 5 of the league year. If he could not pass a physical by then due to a football related injury then they’d be on the hook for that money. No word on if there are offsets to his current salary. That would have a minimal impact on the cap because another team would just sign him for vet minimum and the Giants would get credit for what they pay him this season.
  22. I wonder if that’s why Tomlin had to call the time out - to avoid a delay of game penalty.
  23. It’ll be another nail biter if we meet again in the playoffs. Maybe we’ll get them, maybe they’ll get us.
  24. https://amp.tmz.com/2024/11/17/bills-fans-hang-kermit-puppet-mahomes-jersey-chiefs-game/ Pic here. I don’t see a noose. Big difference between saying “ha ha, Mahomes looks like Kermit” and hanging him in effigy with a noose.
  25. Hiring Wrex would be a horrifically stupid decision. So it’s probably on the table for the Jest. Could be his agent just getting his name circulating in the media though. But we can hope.
