At first, I thought that we were going to see the Eagles game all over again, but the officiating crew was bad across the board. Both teams got wrong calls against them. They were flag happy for most of the game while strangely at the same time missing legitimate calls.
The refs were flag happy everywhere. I watched the Thursday night game and the Bills game in full. I also watched Red Zone in the later games and during commercials in the Bills game. I noticed an excessive amount of false start and illegal formation penalties across the board. Hopefully that is just teams not being in sync yet.
The problem with the rules in the league is there are so many subjective ones that any official that wants to make their presence known can singlehandedly slow down a game or make it unwatchable. Even if they are not favoring teams as some perceive, that is still problematic.

Great turnaround, but I think that this team will have some early season growing pains. I will take every win that we can get with this tough early schedule, one week at a time. The Dolphins game could be tough, but I am counting on the fact that we have recently owned them to somehow carry us through.

I am not too concerned about the offense because i expected some hiccups with the new receivers. The defense may be a problem. It looks more like a team lacking in talent than underachieving so far.

If Coleman gets 7 for 100 and 2TD then I'm upset we didn't just take him at our original pick. The trade down is a lose-lose. Why risk losing out on Coleman AND guarantee KC gets who they want?
edit: unless the compensation is significant. Which it was = 6th round pick
The trades were as follows. Buffalo trades Picks 28, 133 and 248 to the Chiefs for picks 32, 95 and 221. Subsequently, the Bills traded the 32nd and 200th pick to the panthers for the 33rd and 141st.
The players involved are
BIlls-Keon Coleman-WR, DeWayne Carter DT, Sedrick Van Pan Granger C and Travis Clayton OT
Chiefs-Xavier Worthy-WR, Jaden Hicks S, and CJ Hanson G
Panthers-Xavier Legette-WR and Jaden Crumedy-DT
Carter, Van Pan Granger and Hicks are likely backups for their respective team this year who may contribute more in the future, but this is really about Coleman, Worthy and Legette. I also do not like the concept of trading to a rival and giving them who they want, but if Coleman becomes a star, it is a good decision. Only time will tell.

The running play was well executed by the Chiefs and any running back or receiver in the league could have scored on that. The catch was more impressive, but even that was blown coverage on the Ravens part. Still a great start by Worthy, but people need to relax. Not only is it just week 1, but Coleman hasn't even played his game yet. What if he gets 7 catch 100+ yard and two touchdowns? You never know.
Lets give it at least a full season before we analyze whether or not it was a good move.

Chiefs 29 Ravens 27
The chiefs are down and driving with less than one minute left. The Ravens stop Kelce short on 4th down. One minute later as the Ravens offense is getting ready to go on the field......flag.......we see our first hip drop tackle penalty of the season against the defense and a 15 second shot of Taylor Swift celebrating in the booth instead of the replay. One chip shot field goal(with an offside penalty called if the Chiefs miss), later Chiefs win.

In all fairness, the Chiefs other choice at the time was Ken Dorsey.

[In the voice of Dusty Rhodes]
Let me tell ya somethin’, baby, when you talk about hard times, you talk about them Buffalo Bills, and you talk about Brandon Beane puttin’ hard times on that wide receiver corps! Hard times is when ya got that superstar quarterback, Josh Allen, throwin’ those deep balls, but MVS—Marquez Valdes-Scantling, baby—he’s out there droppin’ passes like they’re hot potatoes in the fourth quarter! That’s hard times, daddy!
And don’t get me started on Mack Hollins! Oh, Mack Hollins, he’s out there tryin’ to be the man, but instead of catchin’ passes, he’s out here runnin’ barefoot and eating spaghetti with his hands instead of gettin in the end zone, daddy! You can’t win games doin that, baby; you gotta catch that ball!
Brandon Beane, he’s in the trenches, tryin’ to piece together this receiver corps, tryin’ to find that magic that’ll take them Bills to the promised land. But right now, they’re walkin’ through the valley of hard times, baby, where every drop, every misstep, every flex that don’t end in a touchdown—it’s all adding to them hard times!
But lemme tell ya, the American Dream knows about hard times, and he knows they don’t last forever! Brandon Beane’s out there workin’ hard, scratchin’ and clawin’ to turn them hard times into high times, baby! The Bills Mafia’s standin’ tall, and we know, just like Dusty Rhodes, the Bills are gonna rise again, stronger, tougher, and ready to lay the smackdown on those hard times! If you will, daddy!
So....Two Bills Drive..... What do you want to talk about?

That's a deep cut.
Only us true wrestling sickos are gonna appreciate your Virgil Runnels joke.Let me go a level deeper. Ted DiBiase and Virgil were said in various shoot interviews to be a spoof on Ted Turner and Dusty Rhodes so the names were likely more than coincidental.

Fellow camp legend Brandon Reilly was also cut. Dezmin Lewis too. Ope, there goes Kolby Listenbee.
Fast Freddie Smith is gone too. I heard the Patriots signed him to get some intel.

My leagues have a lot of Bills fans, so most Bills players go about two or three rounds earlier than they should. For example, if Shakir is projected to go in round 12, someone will pick him in round six or seven. If Shakir fell to the right spot, I would definitely grab him though.
-
I now see Milano as a wash for the year. As Tre' White in 2022 and Von Miller last year have shown, rushing back too soon does not always mean that you are going to get the fully healed and ready version back. Getting any type of production is not likely even if he returns in December.
The amount of injuries every year is no longer bad luck or anecdotal. Something needs to be done to find out where the staff is falling short in keeping the players healthy.

I am confident that the number three and four options this year will do much better than Sherfeld and Harty. Thrown in an improving Kincaid and Cook and there is no doubt that the ball can be spread around more.
As all of us are aware, the biggest factor is what can the top two options offer. Shakir, Coleman, Samuel, MVS and Claypool do not have consistent experience as #1 or #2 targets and all have a large gap between their ceiling and floor. If they play to their potential, we could have an deep group. If they all disappoint, we could have 2018 all over again. There are a lot of variables and ways that this could go.

1) Look, the debate was bad. He's not going to be able to debate Trump again. He's not sharp enough anymore. Trump and the Project 2025 agenda have to lose for the good of the country and I don't think he's got it anymore to run.
Project 2025 is not a Trump thing, it is from a far right group. Trump has stated that he does not endorse project 2025 (which we can both agree is a God awful idea) and is in fact against much of it.
I'm voting third party no matter what so don't pass me as a MAGA, but keeping the misinformation of Trump endorsing project 2025 is the last leg that the democrats have to stand on. I understand, because the democrats certainly can't point to anything positive over the past four years, but it is still dishonest. Right now the Dems entire platform is "we suck, but the other guy is worse."

Shouldn't the ones with the second highest delegates win the bid? If so, that would be Jason Palmer who had 3 delegates after winning the primary in American Samoa. Are democrats ready to acknowledge Palmer as their commander-in-chief?

1) Bryan Cox: The all-time villain and a big part of the Bills/Dolphins rivalry during the superbowl years. One of my favorite overall moments was the second time playing them in 93 or 94 when we are about to beat them after losing the first time and Cox gets ejected. He goes ballistic, Mean Joe Greene who is a Dolphins coach at the time tries to talk to him, Cox gets in his face and Greene grabs him by the jersey, tells him to calm down and puts him in his place while Cox looks flat out intimidated.
2) Gronk: Not only burned the Bills in games but oozed the persona of the typical jock d-bag that there is always one or two of in every high-school. The cheap shot to Tre' White bright him this high on my list.
3) Vince Wilfork: Seemed to get away with at least one cheap shot every time they play the Bills. The worst was when he deliberately threw an elbow into the knee of JP Losman before a sack, knocking him out for a few weeks. I know that is was just Losman, but when you go out of your way to take out a rival's quarterback, there should have been much more than a 15 yard penalty and a minimal fine.
4) Michael Irvin: I felt sorry for him on how his career ended and he is actually okay in the booth, but he came off as very arrogant and entitled as a player, would act extremely cocky when winning and childish when losing. He always seemed to con his way into a pass interference flag on 3rd and long if he wasn't successful
5) Tom Brady: Being owned by him was bad enough, but the arrogance, pouting when losing and overall entitlement made him seem like he was insufferable to be around in real life.
Mahomes and Kelce are not quite there to me at least yet. The overexposure of Kelce makes it close, but I never really had a problem with him until last year. Mahomes has a little of the whiny and pouty attitude of Brady, but at least seems to have a friendly rivalry and mutual respect for Allen.

The biggest victim in this name change will be Tony Romo who just lost 90 percent of his material for the next Bills/Jags game that he calls.

Waiting for the Intervention:Jordon episode where it shows her family saying that she is dating a much older guy who pays for her habit followed by a scene when the girl is being handed money by an "anonymous" guy in a patriots hoodie with a blurred out face and altered voice before buying her next hit.

Locks
1) Shakir
2) Samuel
3) Coleman
Likely
4) MVS
5) Hollins
Battling for last spot
6) Claypool/Hamler
Outside looking in
Shorter, Shavers, Isabella, UFDA WR's
MVS and Hollins aren't flashy but they are reliable veterans. For them to be cut, you would need a combination of them performing poorly and one or two unproven receivers having a breakthrough
The last spot IMO is Claypool's to lose. Hamler could surprise if he stays healthy. Isabella would likely be practice squad again.
While it is possible that Shorter, Shavers or the UDFA WR's might break through, they are unproven and would most likely end up on the practice squad unless they play well above the expected level and become the next Shakir. They only way that I see them making the team otherwise are injuries or Claypool and Hamler both flopping.

Adams or Metcalf for Von
If anyone in the Bills management can convince the Raiders or Seahawks to make that trade, they have earned themselves an automatic entry in the Bills Wall of fame.
The Bills beat the Cardinals because… (superstition reasons only)

Things were looking bleak but they turned things around right after I made an rage post on Facebook about how the Bills weren't even trying.
