  1. True, but Colorado Springs is local for the Broncos games, so I will get that Bills game no matter what station it's on. Thanks for confirming the Jets game. Yes, the ESPN (which I get bundled) is great for Sabres games.
  2. Question: For this season's MNF, is it true that on the select weeks (example: Bills/Jets Game #1) that ABC simulcasts, those ABC games are available nationwide? I think it is but can't remember from last year. I got Sling Blue and usually get Sling Orange (ESPN) for the football season, but if true I wouldn't need it for the Jets game. The other MNF game is Denver and I get that locally. I have ESPN+ for Sabres hockey so I'm hoping I'm set for Bills football too! I get ABC over the air so no worries about "disputes"! I have the YouTube Sunday Ticket/Redzone with the student discount plan ($119.00) from my nephew. Note to future cord cutters on the cheap: I get Sling Blue ($40.00 per month) and have an HDTV antenna for local stations. Sling Blue has most of the "normal" cable stations with the exception of ESPN. It also does have NFL Network. I share Sling Blue with a friend who gives me back Netflix (from the family plan), ESPN+/Disney/Hulu package, Paramount+ and HBO Max. It works out pretty even money wise and is a LOT of TV for $40.00 per month.
  3. Linebacker you say? How soon can you get him to OBD? Seriously, good luck to your son!
  4. Being able to dress 8 helps. Starting 5, Bates, Vandy and then a decision of Edwards or Ifedi. Bates or Vandy could finish a game if necessary if they go the Edwards route. Not ideal like you said but not too terrible.
  5. That's good reasoning. I will add despite the opinions of a lot of fans (even well-respected posters here) I truly believe Beane and McDermott see the MLB role changing in the modern NFL to a slightly smaller but quicker player. They didn't just happen to have a bunch of players like that on the team for no reason. I'm not saying Dorian will eventually be that guy but he does fit the mold. It could be as simple as none of the guys presently on the team can fill the style they hope to find in that position. Kirksey could be a placeholder and eventual depth once they do find that guy.
  6. I bet I could have given you a run for your money this week.
  7. @PepeSilvia dumps another hot mess thread and takes off into the sunset. This is like his 3rd one. Pepe joined the day after (Dec 7th 2021) the NE wind/weather game. He never showed up again until after the Bills stomping of the Patriots in January to start a thread entitled "McDermott and Beane Have to Go". He then didn't post until after the Bills lost to KC with his "Cancun on 3" thread. Now he is back with this hot turd of a thread. LOL. I can smell these trolls a mile away!
  8. I will always wonder how many board member user names have changed since that pick. Anyone have a cross-reference sheet handy? LOL.
  9. I thought it was interesting when talking about Kincaid, Josh brought up what Beane said concerning Kincaid and 2 TE sets etc. Challenging the defense whether to stay in Base or Nickel and the variations in each. With an improved run game, it could be a problem for Ds. I wanted Dorsey to take what the D was giving last season, more than not. I do however think the Josh and Dorsey want to dictate what the D does, more often than not. I'm looking forward to seeing how this pans out.
  10. The Bills had 2 Anderson's on the team. Alec Anderson OL is on the Bills 53 roster. He has upside. Bills waived Zayne Anderson S who was claimed. Not sure if that helps.
  11. I've said this numerous times already this offseason. My mantra this year is what Jordan Poyer said in his "welcome back" presser. When asked what the Bills have to do to win it all this season his answer was just "finish". They have the team and organization to win it all. It's up to everyone at OBD to just finish.
  12. I just wanted to see who Kirksey's LB and DT partners last season with the Texans were. Woof. Christian Kirksey - 97% snaps Christian Harris - 60% snaps - 3rd round rookie who was on IR to start the season and came in Game #6. Kamu Grugier-Hill - 31% snaps - release from Texans after Christian Harris was activated. Jake Hansen - 17% snaps - Rookie UDFA Blake Cashman - 13% snaps - Former NYJ 5th rounder. Garret Wallow - 11% snaps - 2nd year Texan 5th rounder. Jalen Reeves-Maybin snaps- 7% - Former Detroit 5th rounder. 6 years in the league with 14 career starts. Kevin Pierre-Louis - 4% snaps - 9 year veteran formerly on 6 different teams. Neville Hewitt - 2% snaps- 8 year veteran. Texans DTs Maliek Collins - 52% snaps - By far the best DT. Missed 2 games. Roy Lopez - 48% snaps - 2nd year Texans 6th rounder. Kurt Hinish - 37% snaps - Rookie UDFA. Thomas Booker - 18% snaps - Rookie 5th rounder. Michael Dwumfour - 17% snaps - 2nd year UDFA. Waived by the Texans in December. Jaleel Johnson - 7% snaps - Waived by the Texans in November. Taylor Stallworth - 2% snaps - 5 year veteran UDFA. I think Kirksey will love having Milano next to him and the Bills DTs in front of him.
  13. No, but hopefully a new QB soon.
  14. He sets a floor for all the others competing. With Bernard getting healthy and Kirksey in the mix thing are better than they were last week.
  15. Can't ask for better than that! Get him caught up to the scheme as quick as possible and let him compete for the job. A bit of "wizardry" if I'm allowed to be happy on the board.
  16. The trade saved some cap versus a cut. He was a bad pick, and no one really wanted to give more.
  17. I don't see "Filthy Beast" posts except in replies, but every time I see his board name, I think of the Cary Grant movie Father Goose. I gave up on that guy last season. LOL.
  18. I think Beane can get a guy on the PS better than Sternberger too.
  19. Well, there you go. I got my answer to who is Isabella's partner.
  20. They had 3-4 last year too if I remember correctly.
  21. It's one of those either or with me. I hope Beane and McDermott get to choose from both.
  22. The Bills official site has Barkley on IR with Doyle and Davidson. So does Spotrac and OTC. His cap hit on Spotrac is reduced to $585k. https://www.buffalobills.com/team/players-roster/
  23. Every year the comments about the PS guys gets more extreme. From "diamond in the rough" to "burger flippers". These guys play a role and get paid pretty well to do it. Isabella is making $290k at a minimum. That's a lot of burgers but Diggs doesn't need to worry about his roster spot!
