should be fun. Looking to come up for a game this year. time to bring back the 70's , 80's memories again... man I grew up in that place.. . Joe Ferguson, Bob Chandler, Bert Jones (?!) remember those guys?..

My sense is AJ will get a great offseason program in and be 100% better next year. And when Star comes back and takes over the 1-Tech, Oliver will go back to 3-tech full time and be back penetrating and disrupting the way he was drafted to do. Losing Star this year was a bigger deal than most realize.

When Star gets back, I cannot imagine they keep three 1 techs (Harry, Star and Butler). Unless Harry can still go 3-tech (he looking reallly big these days) , I'm thinking Harry goes if Butler dead cap hit is too big. Anyone know what that is?

Yep , if the cap is really as low as $175m next year, bills will need Knox to step up his game on his rookie deal for sure. Instead, Go get me another top speed WR to replace JB and Kroft on the roster.

exactly!

He's the only speed guy the Bills have. He isn't going anywhere until they get another 4.4 guy in there.

yeah, Davis' injury must be pretty serious.

Not happy about going for the FG before the half, that's for sure.

they go right back there next season to play them

KC just too damn good. faster, bigger , stronger, smarter. But in fairness they do this to everyone.

anyone have the lineup of "expert talking heads" game picks? Everything I've heard seems to indicate its at least 2 to 1 Chiefs. Good underdog fodder. Go Bills. This is perfect.

Remember when EJ Manuel "threw" Watkins into that ankle injury in the end zone? I was a bad throw, but come on man, Watkins was so brittle. So good to have traded him away to another team who can deal with that.

Agree. My view is that the Bills should light 'em up on Sunday, because KC will be doing the same thing. Shootout city coming (depending on the weather, which could change everything, but I digress.... )

Could be a family decision moreso than anything else. I doubt his family moved from New England (his wife is from there and he has three kids under 10) to, um, Detroit. Just a thought.

IF they can get Josh to agree to have his new deal start after his 5th year, then their "SB window" with this roster lasts two more years (and gets you two more drafts to add talent). That is what you want; I do not know what is happening with his deal, but I believe pushing the giant cap hit out two years is possible. If anyone gets wind of what Josh's deal is looking like from this perspective, sing out. If the Giant Cap Hit is next year, then keeping this really cool team together is likely not possible.

If KC is healthy and it does not rain cats and dogs (which is the prediction), Bills will need to put up high 30's to come out on top. I'm thinkin 41 - 35 KC. Its all about who can get 3 or 4 stops. On a sloppy track with both teams healthy, KC for sure. My heart says Bills, but my head says KC. We shall see. Go Bills ! Make me a liar.

Had no idea this was a thing

Completely agree. Marrone called B-llSh-t on the situation, got no answer and pulled the ripcord and got out of disfunction city. My respect for him went up a few notches for having the brains to see the disfunction and put the opt out clause in his contract.

yes. the all whites with the standing bison are the best uni by far and away. wonder if we ever see that combo again??

I'm sure both games will be replaying this week

If the Bills break the bank on Josh now, pretty sure can't keep them all. We need some cap space analysis on this board stat. Does anyone know what Beane is up against if he has to spend $40m of his cap on Allen next year? That is the real issue here.. cap management. This will be by far the largest off season issue.. how much of this roster can be kept?

Really depends to some degree on who they look to lose in FA . Its all about pass and defend the pass in this league, so pass rushers and O LIne could be key in the 1st for the Bills, depending on if Daryl Williams or Matt Milano are cap casualties, for example, due to Josh's monster contract trashing the Bills salary cap. Running backs are pretty much a dime a dozen in todays NFL. Especially for this team.

Not a fan. No idea where it came from. But who cares, NFL fandom has become a bit of a circus show anyway. I focus on the game, not the fans.

Disagree. I say light 'em up. They'll be doing it to us. Time to take the gloves off.

Yeah, I'm a hundred years old so I remember it all. Bills were The Power in the AFC in the early 90's, plus the AFC was pretty weak at that time. So the Bills would blow through lighter-weight AFC teams (Phins, Raiders, Oilers, Chiefs) in the conference playoffs and then collide with bigger, stronger NFC teams with just as much firepower and meet their match. Eg. Redskins simply overpowered the Bills in the second of the 4 SBs.. wasn't. even a game. Parcells simply outcoached Levy in the first, played keepaway and won. Both of the Dallas games were won bc Bills turned the ball over like crazy and the Cowboys were bigger, stronger and beat up the Bills. The rules were different at the time and you could blow up WRs on crossing routes, etc. and the NFC teams did this. An oversimplification, for sure, go watch the games on YouTube, pretty interesting. Anyway, today's game is more like a game of flag FB than is was then. Quickness and speed win out ultimately over big and bad. So Chiefs/Bills likely to be more of track meet than the last Bills/Chiefs. If Mahomes is 100%, this game will be great.
