I realize that it’s basketball season but…..This is not the NBA. Football is far less about impact players and far more about strategy. (We could go on for hours, but the Bills didn’t lose to KC a few months ago because of a lack of impact players.)

I’m sure virtually all of you have wanted to change jobs now and then; for all sorts of reasons. I’m likewise sure virtually none of you have anything more than a one year contract with your employer.

For whatever reason I’ve always seen him to be similar to Andre Reed. He has that same over the middle YAC thing going for him.

Just a few weeks ago the general consensus was that the Bills needed to use their picks to get younger and cheaper. I see nothing having changed. The draft is a total crap shoot. Stay where you are and the take the player you like best when you’re number comes up.

Once you live outside of WNY you realize just how small the Buffalo area really is. Be glad you have two major sports franchises. Theres no way it could support a Major League Baseball team. No way.

I wouldn’t say that it hurt but I remember thinking when Gilmore and Darby left in close succession, “what are we a farm team now?”

Did your friend get to see any renderings? 😂

Hey! Back in the 70s we used to park in the mud lot. Who knew? Go figure?

Because YOU say so? Having been in his exact same position at one time in my career I can tell you that’s it’s really hard to assume that role if many of your teammates keep looking over to the other guy for even subtle signs of agreement. But…I think we both can agree that there’s no doubt left now.

You might think so but as most attest it’s very hard for the new leader to truly take charge when the old leader (or co-leader) keeps hanging around stealing the oxygen from the building. That is now officially over.

What’s missing in so many of these posts is the REAL message this is sending to the locker room and front office is that is that this is now Josh Allen’s team to win or lose. No more second fiddle or even Batman and Robin thing. It’s time for Josh to assume the full leadership role. (It happens in all organizations at some time.)

All kidding aside, once a team has their franchise QB, they need to spend money on an offensive line to protect him, and let everyone else be younger and cheaper. The mistake the Bills made was going ‘all in’ after 13 seconds thinking they were right there, and maybe they were, but it didn’t work out. So guys like Von, Diggs and Knox have to go, and probably should never been signed or extended in the first place. Starting today, this is NOW Josh Allen’s team. Period!

I’m guessing this means PSL sales aren’t going as planned.

None of this would be happening if that new stadium had a roof! 😳

Quick! Somebody get Carolina on the phone!

Thanks for sharing. As they always say: “Planes don’t make money sitting on the ground”. And likewise: “Cranes don’t make money standing in one place.” Come on boys, put your backs into it! 😂

I honestly thought the Saints was a type-o so I ignored it. 😂

The one I find fascinating is the Seahawks haven’t drafted a QB in the first two rounds in over 30 years. Really?

This has to be because that stupid webcam now proves that the new stadium is NOT in downtown Buffalo. 😉

I still say that Knox is a luxury we can’t afford. And I still can’t believe the Bills couldn’t find a suitor for his services.

Actually, you get wealthy by spending way less money than you take in. This is true no matter how much you make, and the earlier in life you learn that lesson the wealthier you will end up. If buying Bills tickets doesn’t impact that most basic of equations, you’ll be just fine.

Gunner I asked earlier, which former Bills WR would you compare Mitchell to? And if nobody, what current NFL WR on some other team would you equate to him?

Wait! What? We lost? I turned it off when we scored. Dammmmit!

Very well done Gunner and much better descriptions than you get from most ‘professional’ pundits. Question: Which present or former Bills WR would you most closely compare Mitchell to?

Thanks for posting. I only see one picture but my initial response is that I thought it’d be taller. 😂
