John, it's hysterical that you say them. Someone who writes for a living would say "the three of us" unless they are trying to hide their identity. It's things like this that hurt your credibility as a "reporter". Not even Jerry Sullivan is thin skinned enough to monitor this board and try some bush league stuff like this.

I really don't think it's that bold when you look at it. Especially when you factor in the probability of McDermott being open to running more blitz packages when the situation calls for it. A lot of the possibility revolves on Von being even 75% of what he was pre injury and Groot taking a step forward...both things I see as strong possibilities. The MLB group is an unknown. But even more unknown is the way they will be utilized. They aren't just plugging anyone in and saying "go do what we asked Edmunds". I'm sure a couple years back there was equal trepidation on KC fans part about Bolton. You and I don't KNOW if a guy can start in the NFL...until they start in the NFL. I didn't like the Williams pick at first but do think he could turn into something good. As long as whoever wins that position battle does their 1/11th and plays the position the way they are asked it shouldn't be that much of a dropoff. I pretty much agree with you on the offense and CB position. It will be interesting to see if McDermott is planning on running press more than Frazier did. If he does that elevates Elam's value and impact immensely IMO.

In fairness, we now have more than 1 year of playoff losses. While the QB Terry reportedly was enamored by has bounced the Bills from the playoffs twice, won 2 Super Bowls and 2 MVPs. The same QB McDermott didn't want to take at their draft spot because it "sent the wrong message" reportedly. And while I agree that the way the hierarchy at OBD at minimum places McD and Beane on even ground (if not Sean holding more power) I do believe Terry would consultant Beane for an opinion on the matter should he start thinking about making a move at HC. Look, I like Sean. I don't think many coaches would have gotten 13 wins out of a team that went through as much as the Bills did last year. I have a ton of respect for the job he has done in turning this franchise from a joke to "playoff caliber" to "Championship Caliber". Despite what many claim he's done a great job I'm growing from a very conservative coach his first 2 years to a coach that will take as many or more chances than many. However at some point I also believe it's fair to question if Sean is a coach that can make a difference and get over that hump or if he's along for the ride. An early playoff exit this year and I think he enters next season firmly on the hot seat. Especially if Pegula has to witness it happen by the hand of the first player he wanted to pick.

Couple points about the defense: 1. I get the idea that the feeling is we are worse off at LB. However for right now I would have to call that an "incomplete" as we really don't have enough information on what we actually have there. It could be anywhere from very bad to very good. 2. I'm a big believer that sometimes you can get better by losing something. While I do appreciate Leslie Frazier and think he's an excellent Monday through Saturday coach, his style is and has always been way too passive. I believe McDermott will not be passive. The added aggression will take what we have and make it better. I listened to Groot's presser yesterday and came away with the impression that the players feel this as well. 3. CB...even? Benford and Elam both have a full year under their belt. White is in the window where guys that suffered that kind of injury bounce back. Dane Jackson has some solid experience now. This is a good group. Arrow definitely up there for me. 4. The addition of Floyd and Poona to what was largely the same group from last year is an immediate upgrade. Von will be back sooner than later. Throw Groot in that trio and suddenly this Bills pass rush has the potential to be one of the tops in the league by years end.

If you click the user name this account goes back to Warrow's old account. Hey, John. Glad to see ya back.

He very well be excused from this team activity

I heard the whole locker room is hooking up with Brit instead of Day 3 of camp as a "team building activity"

IR he gets his check. I believe if he's healed before the season they can do some sort of buyout and he's released.

"Hey, miss one practice...it's cool man. But miss another and I'll slather you up with some Diggs hot sauce and put you in my belly. You already schnowww"

Sucks for the kid. Even if he wouldn't likely make our roster it takes an opportunity to put some stuff on film and impress another team. Big dude. Hopefully he heals up and is back for a run next year.

Sadly, he cannot.

Literally everyone posted it. Alaina, Joe B and tons others...and most before he did.

I agree with that but to your point...when Diggs does it it's perfectly healthy for downtime but when Allen does it Diggs would view it as off balance and not being committed to being all in? Man, if that's the fact then that would make Stef a huge hypocrite in my book.

Diggs does this? I've seen him doing photo shoots. Seen him in commercials. Saw that he hosted some charity events. There was even a story about Diggs doing a pottery class this off season. And yes, he does these things on his off days during the season as well.

True, but if he does go all Travis Henry...dear Lord in about 16 years the high school football games will be amazing to watch. Just oodles and oodles of mini Josh Allens leaping over each other and stiff arming each other.

Not sarcastic...yet not serious at all. Just playing a bit lol

The biggest concern I have about the offense is that our star QB has apparently gone from being an "Alien" to "Predator" by allegedly knocking up two thirds of Buffalo during the off season. I mean, how does that leave him time to work with Jordan Palmer?

According to Twitter...all of it.

Now that's what I been talking bout. All makes sense when we break it down for the homies.

Actually, I did edit that in right after posting haha

Ok for those joining late I will provide a recap of all information known from all sources. Last year before the Bengals game Josh Allen cheated on his long time girlfriend with a barmaid. Knocked her up. Then had a confrontation with his ex at 3am the night before the Bengals playoff game leading to a poor performance (on the field not in the bedroom). Diggs was angered by this because he's a competitive guy. Around the same time Allen allegedly slept with (and impregnated) one of Stef's friends wives. Then went on to have some down time with one of Stef's ex's. MEANWHILE: Diggs feels like he has no say in the offense and wishes Ken Dorsey would stop being mean and get him the ball more. He's also cheesed off that the Bills didn't do enough to help him and take the pressure off him while also being offended that the Bills flirted with bringing in DHop...who Im sure didn't sign here because our QB can't keep his putter in his pants. After the season everyone went their separate ways for 5 months. But they had conversations. Of course they also didn't speak at all. Stef did photo shoots. Allen was on the red carpet sleeping with movie stars and playing golf. Von was rehabbing and making statements of grandeur about Beane signing every player that made an all pro team since 1994. Also happening at the same time Chad Hall took a lateral move to Jacksonville because he was passed over for promotion and Diggs didn't like that. Unconfirmed is if Hall took the position to keep his wife as far away from Allen's unchecked Talley whacker as possible. It all boils over yesterday when Diggs reported to the team with the intent to practice...yet somehow left before practice. I believe McDermott said something about being "very concerned" that out out of control sex freak of a QB was targeting his wife next(citation needed). Also, no one saw these issues coming. Except for Jerry Sullivan who was clued into the issues before they even happened by Ryan Fitzpatrick (he did go to Harvard). And 95% of the board has no clue what "cap" means in modern slang.

Speaking of things being swept under a rug..you provide a ton of content here and a very unique perspective. I feel that goes unappreciated. I'd like to do something nice for you, my friend. If you would DM me your address and tinfoil hat size I'd love to send you a new one.

So...how does day 2 shape up. Get your predictions in NOW people! I'm going with: 1: Diggs shows up. 2. Diggs even practices 3. The Diggs supporters go out of their way to say "SEE TOLD YA SO" 4. Diggs meets the media 5. Diggs says some weird stuff that's easy to read into. 6. Diggs detractors go out of their way to say "SEE TOLD YA SO" Everyone wins. Everyone loses. Rinse repeat until the end of this run of practices.

Here's the thing. I believe the Bills last year fell into the trap of human nature. For Allen, why wouldn't he want Dorsey promoted? I've had jobs in the past where my boss left and they hired for the position. Ten times out of ten I would take someone being promoted from within so I know my job is less likely to get hit with sweeping changes. The old saying "the devil you know" applies. For McDermott it makes sense as well. All the promotions he does internally lead to coaches wanting to work for him so they can climb the ladder. A guy like Joe Brady who may have designs on being an OC again can know with some sense of reality that he's got an inside track to the Bills OC job should an opening happen. As you said, Ken did just fine for a rookie OC. His arrow will likely keep pointing up as long as Allen is healthy. It wouldn't even shock me if he lands a HC position in the next 2-3 years if he's still here. But I think McDermott had a golden opportunity once Daboll left to bring in someone from the outside for a new voice in the room and a new perspective on how Allen could make improvements.

Question: is it just the head coach with the Bills current staff or do they bring their staff with them? If it's just the HC I take Belichick. If it's the entire staff joining I take Andy.
