Wasn’t even in my recollection that Christie wound up somewhere else after his successful career in Buffalo—something we all like to forget with some of our other greats as well, like Thurman/Bruce, etc.

Based on early returns at minicamps, I’m wondering just how much of this is due to who his holder is or not? Does anyone here have any kicking experience who could weigh in on this specific angle? Of course if that is vital, then surely he’s let the coaches know who he’s most comfortable with…

I agree Allen still has work to do between the ears, but his ceiling remains higher than that of any other QB, Mahomes included. Also, we’ve seen Mahomes fall flat in the playoffs as well (Burrow’s AFCCG 2nd half comes to mind for example), so this is not a straight line sort of comparison. Point being, no matter where they may be currently ranked, Allen has more upwards mobility left.

This is key to this OP convo imho—Allen is blessed with a virtually limitless ceiling of football talent, which if unleashed the right way makes him in the words of Thanos…inevitable. He can simply do more than anyone else, Mahomes included. Tell me something Mahomes can physically do that Allen can’t—whereas Allen can do some things Mahomes cannot (or at least we haven’t seen).

Only if it’s to discuss how to deconstruct a Turducken! 😋

Then why ever give Lamar an MVP? For his playoff success? For his arm? Nope. It’s his hybrid ability that Allen also shines at—and leads in hurdle “spectacularity” as well! 😜

Don’t forget he was paid too before the rookie wage scale was approved—so the Raiders had to pay him through the nose for that hot mess on the field lol.

I’ll go out on a limb and say Claypool will turn heads with his career resurgence this year—buried in Miami I think he can do some real damage for us provided he stays focused and driven, which by early accounts is what he’s doing so far. https://billswire.usatoday.com/2024/05/23/chase-claypool-baggage-buffalo-bills-nfl/

The Raiders have been truly a snakebitten franchise for the duration of Junior's rulership since taking over for Al. Is it coincidence or dumb leadership decisions?

While staying away from mostly big name/splashy FA acquisitions this off-season, Beane nonetheless has stacked our cupboard with solid depth and starter quality pieces at positions of need across our roster, besides what he did in the draft. The question is, which of these will emerge as a vital cog to our 2024 Super Bowl aspirations? Give us your prediction with reasons why. Also, as a corollary to this question, feel free to opine on which FA you feel will be a dud, to be soon relegated to the dustbin of our franchise history as a wasted roster signing? I've attached a summary compilation of our 2024 acquisitions for your reference here: https://wyrk.com/every-new-buffalo-bills-2024/ Every New Buffalo Bills Player Acquired This Offseason (So Far).url

Agree with most of your rankings but I would quibble about having LJ in tier 1; to me he’s borderline 1, but leader of the 2nd tier; also, I’d have Prescott in tier 2 not 3–and at this point in their careers, I’d take Dak over Rodgers if I was forced to pick. But all in all I agree with your sentiments.

The funny thing is, seems like each year the SB champ is picked to automatically repeat, but statistically that is not a significant probability given most years’ outcomes…too much parity now and by the time you get to a potential 3-peat like the Chefs would be this year, so far it’s been guaranteed not to happen. So thankfully I don’t think the Chiefs are a safe bet at all this year! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/most-super-bowl-wins-teams-players/#:~:text=No team has ever won,feat on two separate occasions.

While I definitely hear where you’re coming from, imho given the type of roster turnover we’ve seen beyond the normal churn, especially the Bills, I don’t know how much we can extrapolate from previous seasons to this specific question (except that Allen will own Miami again! :)) I just think Allen can’t be held down forever, and he has a lot to prove with Diggs gone, including a deep run in the playoffs—Super Bowl.

As others have already mentioned upthread, pass rush…we haven’t solved it really ever with this regime, and we know getting pressure on Mahomes is key. Really hope I’m pleasantly surprised this year…2nd main concern for me is Bass.

What, y’all just sitting on Kelvin Benjamin? 🧐 (I kid…even in his “prime” he wouldn’t have deserved Josh imho. Also, yes, use of the word “sitting” was intentional😜).

The Katana just brings this outfit together, doesn’t it? 🙈 I’m sure all of Tokyo was aflutter about the new warlord come to claim what is rightfully his. 🤔 Almost as cringey as someone showing up in lederhosen and Alpine hat in downtown Hamburg Germany. (If you know, you know).

This made me ROFL. Well done sir! 😁👍

The Fins came closest last year, but for the Bills’ late season run, it was Miami’s to lose. Returning many of the same cast of characters over there, my guess is it will be similarly neck and neck until late in the year when we pull it off again 👏.

I feel like the Mafia travels quite well. 😁

It’s crazy how weak the local support for the Falcons is here—I know of literally one passionate fan in my circle of contacts, and I’ve lived here for going on 22 years…we should take over Mercedes Benz Stadium next year when the Bills come to town!

Post your funny, unexpected, heartwarming or normal “Go Bills” interactions with random folks you come across while rocking the gear of our beloved Bills… I wonder as an out-of-towner if this resonates more for me in how often this happens outside of New York and far from Buffalo proper, helping me to feel a part of this community in a tangible way, or if those of you still in Buffalo feel the same way regardless? One of my favorites has to be last year right after the KC game in KC for my son’s first real Bills game, where the home crowd was incensed over the penalty to take away Kelce’s throw back TD late. I was exchanging almost guiltily, muted “go Bills” with other brethren and gals in the concourse walking out, who would flash a quick smile my way in passing knowing we’d just slain the regular season KC dragon again…good stuff! Also vote in the poll how often you hear go Bills out and about where you live!

The book’s still better 🤷‍♂️.

Is it true that his 40 time is still faster than Keon’s? 🤔

This OP has definitely not turned into something entirely predictable. 🏆🙄. The battle lines are drawn, the cannons thunder and neither side will ever give quarter to the other. How much longer mods? 🤔

Scared of nunya ☝️
