Ethan in Cleveland

Good list! Each with an individual story and reason to be on the list. CJ was really hampered by injuries to the WR group in Houston - I think this is more of an entire offense to prove. Darnold will be so interesting to watch. He was bad down the stretch last year. I think the clock strikes midnight on him and he regresses terribly. Never liked Lawrence. I did like Richardson coming out of college but he looks like a complete bust. Young had one of the biggest turnarounds well maybe since Josh. Will be really interesting to see if he continues to play better. At the risk of getting banned for a week, where is McD on the list of HC's with something to prove in 2025?

Three meaningless preseason games to go that the players don't get paid to play. No need for any of them. At most one game to figure out the bottom feeders on the roster. If they don't know they top 45 players on the roster by now what is the point of training camp.

McDermott was here with Whaley but Beane was not.

It was a hard play to make. Think how bad Andrews must feel dropping that 2 pt conversion.

Josh made international news on the Daily Mail for defending Cook. Uh oh what are all you guys that post that Cook is a distraction going to say now??? They players know he deserves to get paid. Allen's comments are spot on!!!

The Mc in McBeane is McDermott thus it is his era. He was making the player decisions then and he signed off on letting Gilmore walk.

Or its an average WR that can't separate beating a #1CB that is grossly overrated by this fan base... I'm kidding...Oh wait am I? Yes I'm kidding. Great throw. Beautiful route and even better catch!

Only two outcomes are going to happen. He either gets extended or he plays week 1 under his current deal. He is not missing any game checks.

Since the OP specifically said the McBeane era, then Stephon Gilmore is the player that did the most after leaving Buffalo. It's not even close. SuperBowl win, Defensive MVP in 2019, two First team All-Pro selections in 2018 and 2019. Five time Pro Bowl selection.

I think Benford is mildly overvalued by Bills fans and severely undervalued by national media. To not even get a single mention in the national anonymous GM pole was eye opening. Makes you question what we are seeing. Benford by no measure is in Surtain's class, but he is probably no worse than 12th best starter in NFL.

Hold in means you show up and dont participate, but you don't get fined. If you hold out there is a substantial penalty for each day held out. And im pretty sure it is in the CBA that once fined the club can't just waive the fines like they did in the past.

So Cook had almost the same rush yards and more recieving yards on half the snaps. And you are asking how we think Cook is better? I mean its kind of basic math right?

3 years $38.5M fully guaranteed. Get it done.

Ah good catch. I hated both those deals.

You can't be this naïve right? I mean seriously I am not trying to be mean but do you have any idea how the NFL works? Did you complain that Josh and Shakir and Rousseau and Oliver and Benford, and Bernard all got contract extensions before their deals were done? I think the only player that hit free agency and came back to Buffalo was Milano.

Everything you said is wrong. Cook is so much better than Davis and Johnson. To even compare them is laughable. Guys don't get bothered by holdouts. They all want to get paid too. They know it is a business. They see that Cook is underpaid. They support each other. It does nothing to the culture. In any other business if you have a contract that lasts five years, the business can't just tear it up if you get hurt. How did cutting an injured Tre White affect the culture? Real men honor their contracts huh???? So why didn't the Bills honor the contracts of Tre White? Just answer that one question for me...

He just needs to go. Buffalo Joe can be LB #5 and Shaq can be LB#4

Who cares if he can block. He can learn to block better in the future. I'd rather see him out in a pass pattern challenging the defense. Can Shakir put up numbers without Allen? Go back and watch Seahawks game. Watch his TD runs. Dodson shoots the gap between Dawkins and Edwards. Cook with one step goes lateral and beats him to the pylon. That is elite running and no one else on the Bills can do that. Watch him completely takeover over that game. He is an elite RB and Davis would be a massive downgrade.

Time to call Cooper

This might make them keep 6 WR at least for the season opener. If they keep Codrington for returns then some of position group is going to be down a man. Probably just go with 5 LBs and maybe one less CB. Safety is a huge problem now. Bishop and Rapp both hurt and we dont even know if either of them are any good. Hamlin probably going to make the team now. Would be nice to see a couple of these rookie DBs step up and be a 3rd day gem.

Allen will be 32 when that 3rd first round pick is drafted. Must sell out to win now. We have no idea how his body will hold up after he turns 30. Parsons puts them over the top just like Cornelius Bennett did. Think about, is Parsons worth Hairston, Kincaid, and Coleman?? He's worth far more than those three players.

1. Shaq Thompson 2. Cam Lewis 3. Alec Anderson 4. DeWayne Carter 5. SVP Granger 6. Brandon Condrington 7. Baylon Spector 8. Ja'Marcus Ingram Im not sure Lundt beats of VanDemark nor am I convinced White will beat out Trubisky but I agree with your other 43. Will be interesting to see what they do with the PED cheats. Ive not heard a word about either in camp. Given the lack of depth at DT and Bosa history they probably will both make it but I would not be shocked if one or both are just cut even before eligible to return.

Id give them the next three first round picks.

You can rent them. I had to do that several times to move around heavy woodworking machines.

I missed that but well done sir! Outstanding work! I like the look of mid-century modern!!! Excellent craftsmanship!!!
