Pro tip: you’re missing out if you’ve never partaken of the group therapy sessions that are the game day live threads here! Visiting only for draft lead up is like buying ice cream in a cup instead of a waffle cone!
That’s a doozy on this Monday morn…ironically, I’d wager without looking it up that dollars to donuts his YPC still on par with what our run game was doing under Dabs’ tenure outside of Allen? 🧐
Yep, our boy Kelly was the right man at the right time for a franchise mired in back to back 2-14 campaigns and desperate for someone who wouldn’t let that faze him—Elway and Marino’s kryptonite to boot! We needed some swagger going into the late 80’s and beyond .
I’d pretty much resigned myself to the fact that Jim Kelly was our one and only Buffalo “unicorn” (in my own lifetime of fandom) perfectly blending the intangible qualities we wanted in our QB and as a blue collar roots type representative of the franchise…I’m grateful to have seen Josh come along and be able to really appreciate the trajectory we are all on now. By the time he’s done, not only will he go down as the greatest Bill in franchise history, but very possibly be in the NFL running as well.
Von strikes me as a really genuine heart on his sleeve type of guy, and I don’t doubt for a NY minute that he will gel nicely with this team and quickly assume a leadership role organically in the locker room. Now this is the type of off-season winning that actually matters!
I get the SB or bust line of thinking, I really do. But to characterize McD as not having produced enough to keep his seat ‘cool’ would be an oversimplification imho. But I’m still looking at it from the relative standpoint of the bitter drought era, so…
Pass Interference, half the distance to the goal, first dowwwwwwwwwnnnnnn….

Good call OP. Lots of things in life become better with a simple change of perspective…instead of waking up thinking I have to [insert unloved task here], think I get to…just like we get to root for our Bills, even tho we have to still root for them when they’re bad…also, our many years of disappointment make the good times all the more poignant.
Hug your loved ones a little closer today, none of us know when it’s our time, nothing is guaranteed in this world…am very sad for those he leaves behind.
Rosen should be very familiar by now with breaking down his throwing mechanics…why not teach others the same things coaches are trying to pour into him? You know what they say about those that can’t…
