' cost synergies, primarily from the reduction of administrative expenses". that means a bunch of people in WNY get fired

yeah, history says Beane and McDermott just dont' roll that way, chasing 1 or 2 shiny objects. They will draft extremely well and pay their own guys. FAs will come, but they will be the 2nd tier guys unless they need to replace their own guys. thats the way it has to be in WNY. Guys like it once they get there, most just don't want to go there. outside opportunities in media and ads don't exist, etc. area has a crappy rep., etc. So you end up having to draft extremely efficiently and well, build a great locker room and training environment, then sign your own guys who by the end of their rookie deal want to be there. just my view.

yeah. tremendous PR for the area. yawn. just show the darn game.

I honestly don't think anyone cares at this point. Guy hasn't done squat in a long time. good but utterly uninspiring career, IMO. Boring to watch. I'm sure he's a great guy, etc. Have a good life EM.

league is out of control. just have the darn draft and be done with it

Great. Just when the Bills have a great franchise again, the league will go on strike and mess it all up. What year was that when the bills were 5-1 and rolling , then the strike came?

yep, just like Hogan and all the rest who got out during the bad bills days and got to franchises who could and did win the SB. hopefully Mc Beanes are creating that with the bills franchise so it starts working the other direction

No real rooting interest at all, but since Chiefs and Packers would make the most entertaining Super Bowl. So yeah, going that way

agree. great Job by Beane bringing him in and having him here when HorribleHarry went down. Good GM work. Let someone else pay him and good for him. yep. strong rotational 3rd down guy. but he wants to get paid like Aaron Donald. so that ain't happening. so they will part ways. I want horrible harry and Ed Oliver in the middle with Star anyway. all good

I would pay DBs before I paid LBs any day. Passing league. Any I would pay offense before I paid defense. Without great offense , you can't win anything. Anything that improves the pass or ability to stop the pass gets paid first. WRs, DBs , QBs, LT, Edge, all get paid first, IMHO. When they change the rules to limit the passing game , then my mind will change.

good move. smart guy. made $56m? best years behind him. 3+ concussions? see ya later NFL.

but he will get Zeke money. never going there. probably draft a guy or go 2nd tier FA, or probably both

yessir. these guys will be hungry next year. they were never getting past KC or Ravens, or Saints or Niners this year. but they'll have the horses next year IMO. all good. we are tremendously fortunate to have the organization the Bills now have. get yer popcorn. Process payin' off.

"win the East " stay healthy and no reason why that is not entirely possible.

1987 Kelly 2nd year in league Reed 3rd year in league Wolford, Hull 1st year in league Bennett, Conlan, Odomes , Kelso Rookies Smith, 2nd for starters. and we all know the good stuff that happened after 1987. go bills. trust the process.

I am totally good. No way I had them getting this far this year. This team will only be better next year. Time to take back the Division and get some home playoff games. Trust the Process. Out.

They are playing with house money. Win or lose, this season has been way more than anyone expected.

this season has been great. essentially 11-5 , and the wins were largely solid and the losses were close. I'll take 11-5 every season. go Josh. the process is delivering 2 wins for every loss. taking it all day and night. tremendous to have a team that is absolutely in every game , fighting for a win down to the final play. absolutely love being able to watch Bills football again. keep the process moving McBeanes.

To your second line above, my sense is that many who watch the Bills intently desperately want them to be like the Chiefs, Saints, the popular entertaining offensive teams. The cool kids of the league with the shiny toys and the goats. That's fine, but McD is working to win games, and trying to imitate the cool kids and throw it all over the place with a 2nd tier offensive roster will lose you more games than it will win. Bills-style football(this year) is pretty boring, lunch pail, field position, stay in the game stuff, in comparison to the other top 10 teams. and I'm a fan. but it works. the media ignore it, bc there are no splash plays or players to sell advertising off of. but it works. Trust the Process; barring a pile of injuries, my sense is McBeanes will ultimately prevail over time.

yeah Duke is nothing but a slower, bigger pass catcher who can't yet do anything else.. With limited roster sizes, If you are not a top 2 wideout or a top 2 DB , on most teams you better be a strong blocker or strong on special teams, neither of which Duke is remotely close to being. Playoff football is field position football, and what I see is we have a somewhat limited, but improving talent and therefore (IMO) field position management team, and special teams is all about gaining field position advantage. If a team like the Bills just rolls out anyone on ST they will lose the special teams field position battle and be at a bigger disadvantage than super talented teams that can just still score a bunch of points regardless of field position.. Bills obviously do not yet have the roster on offense to do that. just my view

Yeldon is a talent but is a turnover risk. He will not see the field Saturday. That guy can single handedly lose you a playoff game with his propensity to fumble. He fumbles every 40-50 touches, defenses know it, and he is due. Gore is solid. Go with the solid guy. Go play playoff football on the road and work to get out of there with a win. Do not open it up and turn it over 2-3 times in the process. Sure fire way to lose a road playoff game.

I trust McBeanes. they will find new guys to sign across the board. probably 2 or 3 starters and then mostly depth players mostly as this team really needs them. use the cap space to sign your own guys if you like them better than the FAs. Draft extremely well (again) as this is the best way to build a roster in WNY (where many ego centric FAs don't want to be) ; and scheme fit is critical. If they don't work in your D or O , they are off the table regardless of how shiny an object they are to fans.

cooper is a head case, would be a cancer in the locker room and he doesn't like road games. the other two will be resigned. I'm not big into FAs AJ Green seems like a solid citizen , 2 year deal , but all the 30 somethings are looking for the last big deal .. Beane's won't fall for it.

I live in the D.C. area. What a sh-t show the deadskins are. not much discussion about them among the locals. Go McBeanes. Trust the Process. They will get there.

real character flaw in that guy. McBeanes will avoid that kind of bad actor.
