This will be a non issue. Your thinking of two completely separate broadcast rights. The only thing that would be blacked out is local games, which were blacked out on DTV Sunday Ticket anyways. That amounts to two or three games a week subject to blackout, which are the two or three carried by your local CBS and FOX affiliates. The remaining games weren’t blacked out then, and will not be now. The local CBS and FOX affiliates only have the rights to air one game locally each at a time. Those will be the ones subject to blackout.

The Good Morning Football crew have been giving a lot of off season credit to Beane and have some pretty high praise for the team in general. They love Beane, McDermott, Allen, the free agent additions, and the draft picks. Pretty much once a week you can bet on the Bills receiving some high praise from the Good Morning Football crew. Schrager absolutely loved Beane’s “Don’t talk about Buffalo” press conference.

Teams I expect to be worse this year than last: Dolphins: Did they even make any offseason moves? QB battle between the great Fitzpatrick and Rosen. The latter of which has the designation of being the only top 10 QB in NFL history to be given away after their rookie season. Giants: Gettleman... yikes. Sticking by Eli for one more year? Or go with the top 50 NFL prospect Daniel Jones. Receivers? Who needs receivers, we have Saquon to run and catch the ball! Good thing we took him instead of one of those heralded 2018 QB prospects. Maybe he can throw it to himself? Redskins: Will undoubtedly be starting a rookie QB this year, and we know how those seasons tend to go. Historical trends are not kind. Bengals: AJ Green already fighting the injury plague. Andy “Mr Average” Dalton still at the helm. Banged up OL. Ravens: Worse on D than last year. Starting a RB at QB again this season, and for the entire season. Stop Lamar’s legs and he isn’t going to beat you passing the football. Pull the Tyrod “Make him be a QB” defense out of the playbook.

This is my issue as well. I tried, but could not find a streaming service that allowed me to have Sabres games on MSG and NFL Red Zone. Sure, I could go with multiple companies, or go with NHL Center Ice package and a VPN. But those aren’t really the solution I am looking for.

I saw a stat today that Cousins is 5-25 against teams that finish with winning records. That’s horrendous. No idea why he would have been voted top 100, his contract maybe?

If I recall correctly Eckeler has been pretty average to below average when thrusted into the starting rule due to a Gordon injury.

I always wait for these to come out and read them through completely. Makes me feel like I’m at Bills camp even though I can’t make it.

This DIRECTV CBS blackout is starting to get annoying. Luckily I had CBS All Access already for the Twilight Zone. I have been watching my CBS shows on there.

The real burning question, who will arrive in a helicopter or armored car with a hype man

This is absolutely true, we could have had them. My only problem is, I really would not trust Whaley to make a decision such as that.

You, good sir, have made me go ?. I shall see myself out ??

Revisionist history is fun, I wanna play. What if we traded that pick to Houston instead of Kansas City ? we could have had 4th overall in the 2018 draft!

It’s sad, but I’m with you. BBFS is alive and well. Extra scary this year the Bills could (should?) start 3-0.

I have that same feeling. There are so many ego’s in that room and a rookie coach to keep it all together. I don’t know if that spells success or disaster.

If by some ridiculous reason Quinnen Williams just didn’t agree with the Jets and was available, I would easily give up two first rounders for him. Josh Allen is the only person in the 2019 draft I would have wanted high other than Williams and Oliver.

Oh excellent! Works well because each was only 20 or so minutes from what I recall.

Has to be that way again. They don’t have any training camp footage from Rochester yet, so they couldn’t release everything at once.

I feel he’s just being petty for no reason. I watched Hard Knocks and sure, Hue sucked as a head coach. Never should have been given the second year. But does Baker assume that’s Hue’s decision to make? It’s not like Hue hired himself. How about just being grateful a team took you first overall. Then, he stares down Hue and trash talks him for going to a “rival team” as if Hue had job offers from 31 teams after being canned from the Browns for being the worst head coach in NFL history. Just a lot of pettiness for no reason.

Reading comprehension I.E the very next sentence after the one you bolded. Also, I consider 2004 to be within the past 15 years ? ?

Yes, he absolutely has. What’s a better offseason that you can remember in the last 15 years than the two Beane has orchestrated? Prior regimes did not give a bunch of draft picks to go and get their guy, they waited and panicked (Losman) or they reached massively (Manuel). Going up and getting their guy would have been giving up whatever it took to get Rothlisberger rather than panicking and getting Losman. By all reports that’s what happened to Arizona last year as well, how did Rosen work out in their minds? The free agent signings, that’s the nature of the free agent game, you overpay for mediocre talent. Beane identified holes and moved to fill them. What past GM’s have done that? I remember being able to sleep through free agency because you knew the Bills were getting bargain bin trash. In addition to that, most of these contracts are crafted so that the Bills can exit relatively painlessly. How was the Dareus contract structured? Don’t we wish Beane was at the helm during that time. In general, the proof is often in the pudding. For my money, Beane has done his job. He has filled holes as best he can and as economically as available. He has drafted well and is not afraid to go up and grab someone he wants. Give me Beane over A LOT of the GM’s in the league right now (Gettlemen running the Giants anyone?). In addition, even if Allen busts and doesn’t improve any further, he is still the most fun QB we have had the pleasure of watching in a long, long time.

Unless there a package deal, if the team regresses this year, I would get rid of McDermott before Beane. This team is fairly well constructed. IMO Beane has done pretty darn good as a GM. It isn’t his job to get the talent to play well, it is his job to get the talent. He has done that.

Madden, while not the best, is light years ahead of their NHL franchise. EA NHL is literally recycled year after year. The best mode they ever had was GM connected and they got rid of it within two years.

Ranking Tre White as the 19th best corner is borderline criminal. Even the biggest Tre hater can probably agree he’s top 10.

Beanie playing 4D Chess, as always

Bell is extremely lucky that his situation worked out as good as it did. If the Jets were not there to outbid themselves in their overpayment then he would have not been paid nearly as much.
