One thing I know for sure is that Beane knows one heck of a lot more about where the Bills are in relation to the Cap both now and in the years to come than anyone on this Message Board. It’s just one of the reasons why I stay away from that topic. It’s way too complicated and we really have no idea what other chess moves are in the offing. So…I’m guessing there’s more to the Oliver extension than most of us think or know.

She also didn't remember, or her staff didn't research, that the 1973 Buffalo Bills (the inaugural season in Rich Stadium) were actually one of the better teams in franchise history, highlighted of course by OJs record breaking season. I mean....sheesh!

Great summation! Now, the Team needs to bring home the hardware. These things can just as quickly turn into a rent-a-player turnstile if the results don’t match the name recognition of the signings.

I’m not sure how many groundbreaking ceremonies you’ve been too. I’ve been to over a hundred in my career. I watched this one live, and I have to say it wasn’t too bad actually. (But… I think the Governor’s speech writers needed to brush up on their Bills history a bit. 😉)

I definitely did not see this coming. I’ll chalk it up to the guys in the clubhouse knowing more than I can ever see from my sofa, but I really do NOT understand this move. I guess we’ll all see together. Go Bills

I don’t disagree with any of that, but IMO last season’s achilles heel’s were poor tackling and surrendering on 3rd and long. I’m confident that good coaching can correct both this year.

Ya gotta love it. While this thread was surpassing the 100 page milestone, Beane was at work in his office quietly signing Leonard Floyd.

This is going to get really interesting come the next Summer Olympics. I’m old enough to remember the universal outrage over the East German women who were clearly using enhancing drugs. Who knew they could’ve just dressed up men as women and achieved the same medal count.

I highly doubt there are all that many black students in Santa Barbara. I’m guessing this’ll turn out to be like old glass enclosed smokers patios at LAX. We used to walk by those and think how terribly sad it was that those folks were jammed into a smoke shrouded aquarium. Talk about embarrassing!

Out of curiosity…how would you prefer it be done?

Well there’s that too! 😉

A few quick observations: 1. QB seems to be the leading indicator of overall roster strength. 2. The Rams are a mess just a couple years out from going all in. 3 The Jets defense, for all its accolades, seems to have a bunch of holes. 4. The Bills roster, for all the debate on this Board, is shown to be the best across the board with no glaring holes.

Closer than you know: They’re used to be a cartoon that showed the various stages of a construction project. This particular stage, along with the final ribbon cutting, was titled “The Congratulations for the Non Participants” and we’d all say ‘who the heck is that?’ when the long line of these guys/gals would step up to the podium and proclaim to the crowd how they were so essential to the process. 😂

Isn’t it obvious? dHop didn’t want any part of OTA Phase 3. Anyone know how he feels about Phase 4? 😉

You are correct. Religion is indeed complicated....but Faith is actually quite simple.

I’ll simplify it for you. Jesus was/is God’s version of the Great Reset.

Is his name Italian or Hispanic? In Southern California the Di would be Italian. And De would be Spanish. In either event, NOBODY doesn’t know how it’s pronounced.

Thanks Hawk…well said I tried to boil it down to one sentence. 😉

I think the comments encapsulate why the draft is a crap shoot. All of these guys are athletically gifted coming out of college and most were that way their entire life. But when they turn professional they don’t all understand what kind of commitment is required to be good at your craft. And as pretty much any employer will tell you, the same can be said for just about every other college major as well.

Now THIS made me laugh! Well done SUNY! 😂

In what way couldn’t he handle it? He just said the question was silly. Unlike Obama was, the Governor should be no stranger to the national media. Not by a long shot. If you slow the “R” hatred for a second and listen to the actual question, you’ll understand that reporter CLEARLY wanted to take a cheap jab at the Governor’s ethnicity. Pathetic!

Morning SUNY! He didn’t say the question was hard. He said it was silly. Which it was.

Maybe so. Then there’s no need to ask him how the sitting Governor of Florida pronounces his obviously ethnic last name then, right?

On the contrary, we had a blast! (And yes, we lost that day.) We were chatting it up with fellow Bills fans the entire walk to and from the Wembley station. As I’ve mentioned, I’ve been to two of the 90’s era Super Bowls and the entire London week and game day was as close of an atmosphere to anything I’ve experienced. Thanks for the Tottenham travel tips. We’ve been to the stadium grounds but not on a game day. We went via overground. I’ll definitely look into the Seven Sisters station idea. 👍

Now let’s see if the FBI took a sharpie marker to the entire body of the document. 😉
