Mitch was not in the pic as tweeted:

We have to play in one every two years or so. Better this season agains Pittsburgh in Dublin, as the road team, with less of their fans present.

What about Sedrick Van Pran-Granger?

I read as also possibly meaning we will trade back into the 2nd like last year for Coleman.

Also, replace Wayne with Harrison and for Detroit have Goff/St. Brown/Gibbs.

Rodney Peete?? Really?

Let's not give up on Beane. We build through the draft and don't mortgage our future. Give him a chance to get it right. If we can't trust Beane to draft well in the first two rounds, then we need a new GM.

I'll pass. Former NFL players and arena football don't mix. Brings back memories of AB and the Albany Empire. This. I remember the Buffalo Stallions of MISL. Very fun to watch and immensely popular in Buffalo.

I bet Patrick doesn't know the name of his!

Let's have the Bills go to Ireland to play Pittsburgh next year, since this would be a road game and we would get nine true home games. Also, better Ireland than Australia or Brazil in the future.

[The changes are attributed to a new intermediary cut from 10 to 7, where three to five are chosen, each requiring 80% of the votes. Before, the cut was from 10 to 5, and the vote for the final 5 was just "yes" or "no". -- I forget where I saw this and am trying to find the link.] Below are the members of the Class of 2025: Eric Allen Jared Allen Antonio Gates Sterling Sharpe (senior) No first-time eligible candidates were chosen and just three of the 15 modern-era finalists were chosen. Only one of the five senior/coach/contributor finalists was chosen. Finalists NOT chosen: First-year eligible modern-era: Luke Kuechly Eli Manning Marshal Yanda Terrell Suggs Adam Vinatieri Others modern-era finalists: Willie Anderson Jahri Evans Torry Holt Steve Smith Sr. Fred Taylor Reggie Wayne Darren Woodson Seniors category Finalists: Maxie Baughan Jim Tyrer Coach Finalist: Mike Holmgren Contributor Finalist: Ralph Hay https://www.nfl.com/news/pro-football-hall-of-fame-class-of-2025-revealed-at-nfl-honors "The four-person Class of '25 is the smallest to be inducted since 2005 when Dan Marino, Steve Young, Benny Friedman and Fritz Pollard were called to the Hall. Though unusual this century, this is the 19th class in the Hall's 63-year history with four or three members. " https://www.profootballhof.com/news/2025/02/pro-football-hall-of-fame-to-enshrine-four-in-class-of-2025/ [changes to the by-laws are in red and bold] "Selection Process ERIC ALLEN,(Opens in a new window) JARED ALLEN(Opens in a new window) and ANTONIO GATES(Opens in a new window) were elected from the Modern-Era Players pool of candidates that this cycle began with 167 nominees who last played professional football in the 2019 season. That list was reduced three times (to 50 nominees, 25 Semifinalists and 15 Finalists) before the annual selection meeting. The other Finalists this year were Willie Anderson, Jahri Evans, Torry Holt, Luke Kuechly, Eli Manning, Steve Smith Sr., Terrell Suggs, Fred Taylor, Adam Vinatieri, Reggie Wayne, Darren Woodson and Marshal Yanda. During the selection meeting, the list of 15 Finalists was cut to 10, then to 7 before the final vote. In that final vote, a maximum of five and minimum of three individuals could have been elected to the new class, each needing 80% approval from the selectors, who could cast a ballot for five of the remaining seven. By reaching the final 7 but not getting elected (falling short of 80% approval), Anderson, Holt, Kuechly and Vinatieri will advance automatically to the Finalist stage (15 remaining) for the Class of 2026 under the Hall of Fame’s bylaws for the selection process. STERLING SHARPE(Opens in a new window) was elected from a second pool of five candidates that included the Finalists chosen by the Seniors Blue-Ribbon Committee (Sharpe, Maxie Baughan and Jim Tyrer), Coach Blue-Ribbon Committee (Mike Holmgren) and Contributor Blue-Ribbon Committee (Ralph Hay). Under the Hall’s bylaws, from one to three individuals could have been elected from this group; only Sharpe reached the required voting threshold. " Some trivia: https://www.profootballhof.com/news/2025/02/pro-football-hall-of-fame-to-enshrine-four-in-class-of-2025/ 1. Sterling Sharpe and SHANNON SHARPE become the first brothers elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Three father-son tandems are enshrined: TIM MARA(Opens in a new window) and WELLINGTON MARA,. ART ROONEY SR.(Opens in a new window) and DAN ROONEY, and ED SABOL(Opens in a new window) and STEVE SABOL. 2. While a class of four is the smallest since 2005, that number has not been uncommon. This is the 19th time in the Hall of Fame’s history a class has been composed of three or four enshrinees since the first four-person class was chosen in 1970.

NFL Honors tonight (Feb. 6) at on Fox and NFL Network!! Buffalo Bills players up for awards at NFL Honors: QB Josh Allen (AP Most Valuable Player) LT Dion Dawkins (Walter Payton Man of the Year) S Damar Hamlin (AP Comeback Player of the Year) OC Joe Brady (AP Assistant Coach of the Year)

I don't want Buffalo traveling to Australia. Too far. I'd rather it be in the UK, Germany, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, etc. Thanks! Yeah, I was just going by what was posted in the CBS Sports article re their 2026 opponents: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-is-headed-to-australia-rams-named-designated-team-for-leagues-first-game-ever-down-under/amp/

These are the 2026 home opponents for the Rams: Cardinals 49ers Seahawks Giants Cowboys Chiefs Chargers TBD NFC North team TBD AFC East team Pray the Rams don't repeat as division titlists in 2025, since that increases the Bills' chance of playing in Australia (assuming we win the AFC East).

I guess the purpose is to attract international fans. According to the CBS article: "The NFL opened an NFL Academy on the Gold Coast last year, and claims there are already 6.6 million American football fans in Australia."
