Bills fans wanted their version of Tom Brady, and we got Giselle! The horror, the horror.

He did. If Ralph would of gave him that big 4-year $200k contract he wanted, I think the Bills could have won the 1st Super Bowl. He also was quite the character and entrepreneur. At one time or another Gilchrist had sought to invest in a sporting goods store called “Cookie’s Closet, become a public relations specialist and a mining prospector in northern Ontario. He was so excited about the latter that he hired an Indian guide, rented a helicopter and flew over the lake where a large body of copper ore was discovered, dropped on pontoons into the water and staked his claim. He also tried to get Bills owner, Ralph Wilson to invest in 20,000 pairs of autographed Cookie Gilchrist earmuffs to sell at the 1964 AFL championship game. Wilson declined the offer. It was also reported that Cookie sold Christmas trees outside of the Bills War Memorial Stadium.

That game is engrained in my memory of Buffalo Bills football. My mom, who's still a big fan, talked my dad into going to meet them at the airport in a snowstorm. It was crazy! My 2 older brothers and I still talk about it.

Torrence tells the story of how the high school football coach constantly asked him to go out for football. He went on to say he had low self-esteem but finally relented and tried out. When he saw himself transitioning into the man he is now he said it was a life changing moment. He thanks and praises his HS coach. I see a young man with a lot of inner strength.

When it comes down to it, the TBD board is social media. My opinion of that is I invite others into my world and enjoy the interaction. But for me that does not mean I HAVE to invite everyone. Some people don't agree with me on this, but I don't really care. There are members of this board I choose to IGNORE. They have a right to post, but i have the right not to have to read them. I hope that my view will help you stay. Either way, I wish you the best in your health struggle. Go Bills!

If he stays healthy, he will improve. Question will be "how much"?

I'd like to see former Bills with Josh. AFL-Cookie Gilchrist NFL-Thurman Thomas All you younger Bills fans missed out watching Cookie play football. It was something to behold. Talk about intensity, they were meant to play with each other.

All this "my dad can beat up your dad" stuff is foolish as far as I'm concerned. As to this "six wins without Allen" nonsense, McDermott took the team to the playoffs his first year with Tyrod Taylor.

I've noticed they are slower this year. Beane also said something to the effect that the rookies and UDFAs won't be coming to Buffalo until the 2nd option week which is May 12th-15th. Maybe they are just waiting for that. I expect to hear official stuff soon and the signing will happen when they get to Buffalo.

I've already said I believe the Kincaid will help with Knox's production. He's going to get lost in the wash more often. Knox and Kincaid crossing can be a problem for the LBs too.

Kyle has played on some real crappy teams in his career. I give him a decent shot of improving with the Bills organization into a long-term serviceable backup. We'll know more in camp.

I think some of you guys are overthinking this. I see it as: Dawkins-McGovern-Morse-Torrence-Brown Bates-1st depth for all the IOL spots. Q-Doyle-Gouraige battling for 2 spots. Edwards-Broeker-Boettger battling for 1 spot. Brown starts the season at RT and we all will see how that works out. I think he improves, but we won't know if it's enough. The 8 bolded make the team IMO. Last OT will be decided in camp. The only way Q or Edwards don't make the team is if someone else looks totally awesome in camp. That would be a good thing, but I don't count on it, and I bet Beane doesn't either. Broeker (if he looks ok) will suffer a mysterious quad injury and be redshirted. Ike gets cut and if no other team signs him he goes to PS. Mancz and the rest battle for PS spots.

Ask and ye shall receive. That's about what I was figuring.

Anyone have an idea what Poona Ford is going to cost?

At the old rockpile there was a buffalo mascot. We need two volunteers to bring that back!

The punishment should fit the crime.

Definitely exaggerated but having a rookie OC had an effect. Also having an effect was the rash of injuries, crazy weather, the Hamlin/ Bengals drama and what I truly believe, a "mentally" exhausted team going into the playoffs. Some say these are excuses, but I see it as just a realistic cause and effect of human beings, being human beings. As the dust settles in the offseason, I think the Bills overall roster is slightly, to more than slightly, better than last year. They have a harder schedule, but it will still all come down to how they play in the playoffs (which I expect them to be in).

Regardless of the hype (which I don't put much concern in) the Bills have as good of a chance to make the SB as last season. IMO.

It's all "unconfirmed" from everywhere I have looked. The only assumption I read is that the Texans 6th rounder is probably the Cowboys one.

Kincaid's actually "fantasy" numbers is one thing. What his effect on the overall offense is another. Beane himself has already said more than once that Kincaid could help the O dictate more to what opposing Ds counter with. Could, hidden in the actual targets and catches, be a different effect on the running game and RB catches? Could Knox, coming off the line, have a different defensive scheme against him? Could this equate in more catches for him? It's not that Kincaid becomes a "decoy", but it is possible his presence causes other opportunities for other skill players too. I will be happy with Kincaid's rookie season if any of these possibilities are added to his actual catches/yardage/1st downs and TDs. It's about the total offensive success, not the individual stats.

Agree that he probably will at some point. Giving the D to him right out of the gate for a SB hopeful team might not be the right move. Camp is going to be so interesting but when it comes to who starts the season at MLB, I'm not too worried as of right now.

I think he is committed to being a Buffalo Bill. The 800k dead cap could mean if needed to for a while, he is happy to go the PS. He stays in Buffalo all year, one way or another.

With all the injuries I don't think there was a "primary" dime.

The thing is Siran did not play much at all, even with all the injuries with the DBs last season. Neal only had 63 defensive snaps last year. That's less than 4 snaps a game. His worth is strictly STs.
