I disagree there. Players say it has an impact and I believe it does. Is the impact huge? Sometimes. In very rare situations. For instance, Jordan Phillips playing really well against the Dolphins for the first couple times we faced them after he came here. Clearly, he had extra motivation and that manifested in his play on the field. Usually, though, the impact is small. But I do think it has an impact. Players are human, and they play a very physical game that causes a lot of mental and physical stress. They use stuff the media or other players/coaches say to get fired up and motivated. They say it has an impact and I believe them. I think this particular case is nothing, though. It is not like the Ramsey situation at all. Nor do I really think Allen was targeting Ramsey in those games. I think there is too much on a QB's plate to be focused on that, but I could be wrong.

Sure, he was a much better player for the Bills. I just thought you were surprised they gave out those numbers, though. With 32, they weren't giving it out till recently. But 40 I don't think they ever stopped giving it out.

Not sure I agree about them not getting a fair shot. They all played a lot, outside of Manuel. Tyrod also had some pretty good olines. Those olines right before Allen took over were pretty good.

Flutie caused trouble because he could see he was better than Johnson. So, I don't hold that against him. He would know that Allen is better and understand that.

Fitzpatrick is a perfect backup. Doug Flutie is nice too. He is accurate and has the running ability as well. Tyrod is another good option. Drew Bledsoe I think is one you want as a starter or not at all. He was old and at the end of his career having been a starter for most of it. I don't think he would take well to the backup role. Ultimately, I'd choose Fitzpatrick. He would be great buds with Josh Allen, too.

Someone has to make it cool again, that's all. I mean, there have been 8 others to wear 40 since JD Hill, including Von Miller most recently. 32 is much more interesting, though. Only a couple of worn that since OJ (Senorise Perry and Nicholas Morrow). They only started giving out that number in recent years.

Maybe Eastern Orthodox might make more sense.

Then don't sign Clowney, because he won't give you that. Baltimore got the most out of him like a rented mule. Kudos to them.

Can't we all agree that he is not a difference maker? After years of him underachieving in the league and switching teams so often, we should know this by now.

With the addition of Moore, I think the Bills are middle of the pack in the NFL. Low ceiling but a high floor. Add a legit #1 and it would be perhaps the best in the league or close to it. That's the goal for next year, in my opinion. But we'll see how the season goes.

Yeah, he was a ghost. Not sure what that other poster is going on about.

He is pretty good as a 3rd or 4th option. You just don't want him as a #2 receiver. His hands are a little suspect, though. He also isn't that great of a blocker, contrary to what some are saying. Mack Hollins was a MUCH better blocker, and more sure handed. Gabe has more receiving upside and talent, but is a high variance player, which can be frustrating. I wouldn't mind bringing him in unless they try to put him back at the #2 spot. He isn't good enough for that role.

You're so full of it. You have no idea what he weighs, especially from seeing a fuzzy photo from across the field.

Always criticizing what these guys look like in bad photos from training camp and offseason workouts. Dawkins and now Kincaid, too. Even Josh Allen. It doesn't matter what they look like in shorts.

That's worth about $4 million today. Not too shabby.

He sucked last year anyway.

Agreed. I'd keep McGovern and potentially Moore if he pans out this season. If Bosa has a good season, he'll demand big money on the open market. I'm sure Gilliam will be signed as well. That's fine. Perhaps Forrest if he is worth it. The rest can walk.

Well, we've all been talking like he broke his wrist. And he missed enough time to point to a broken wrist. So, I'm not sure this is a revelation. Didn't we all assume it was broken?

I disagree. I think he has all the tools of a pass rusher. But I think he can be good against the run as well.

Probably because he only played 3 years with the Bills.

Pretty sad when Hughes is considered a top 3 defensive end in Bills history. Only two seasons with 10 sacks, zero pro bowls, zero all pros. The Bills don't really have a great history of pass rushers outside of Bruce Smith. Schobel was pretty darn good, though.

He'll be great until he goes down with an injury.

I'm not sure it matters how you feel in early May. Superbowl winners are not predetermined.

Yeah, I can handle "high motor", but "lunch pail" is a no go, haha. Oh my gosh, that went right over my head. Wow.
