No surprise as they need a starter.

Once Hochul became Gov then you knew they weren't going to leave. She was not going to allow them to move on her watch. I remember here in the NYC area when the Isles were trying to get a new arena to replace Nassau Coliseum . The owners got then Gov Cuomo on board and he fast tracked the project. They got by all the political BS to get shovels in the ground. Now they have UBS Arena. Behind the scenes I would imagine Hochul did the same for the Bills and played a big part in helping get the deal done.

For weather purposes lets hope they do it in Sept/Oct.

I wonder how many of them will be at home? Last year the Bills had four primetime games but three were on the road if I remember correctly.

Schedule usually comes out around the 3rd week in April. While I know the Bills will get their share of primetime games I still prefer the 1:00 games best.

They said he has already suffered 3 heart attacks. It doesn't look good at all. I remember he was big in the 80's and 90's. He also has had a long history of alcohol and drug abuse. Unfortunately many wrestlers from that era have passed away and the drug, alcohol, steroid abuse was a big reason why.

Last year Herbert threw for 5,014 yards with 38 TD's and 15 INT's. He had a very good season and they still couldn't make the playoffs because their defense wasn't good. It's smart thinking on their part to focus on improving the defense ( like the Bills need to be doing) especially in that division. If these moves work out for them then I could see them being the favorites in that division.

Per the NFLN the Chargers are going to make a strong offer to JC. They made it sound like they will be the favorites to land him. Obviously we have to wait and see what happens.

They will have to prove it next year when the pressure is on. I have seen it to many times when bad teams out of the playoff race start to play well because their is no pressure on them. Lets see them do next year and actually win consistently while in a playoff race.

Because of Allen I think we have the offense to win the Super Bowl. But I agree with you about the defense. We aren't winning a championship with this defense. Everyone knows their #1 ranking was because they padded their stats on bad teams. Who knows how long it takes White to regain his form and that is assuming he can. Can the Bills resign Wallace? Even so I expect CB will be a priority in the draft. Still need to improve the pass rush and run defense. I still have nightmares about Henry and Taylor and that first NE game. The Bills are a good team and they are close but they do need to improve the defense this offseason if they want to win the Super Bowl.

In today's world of cell phones with cameras and other social media. That stuff would never happen today.

There are two types of opening day in sports. 1. Football season. It doesn't get any better than this 2. Everything else. The Mets on paper have a good team but I think they could use more pitching. A 3rd starter behind the big 2 and relief pitching.

Beane has many times that he prefers to build thru the draft and then resign our own players. Sure he will look at FA but the draft is where this team will continue to be built according to him. The Bills might sign a player or two but I don't expect them to be major players in FA. It's not Beane's style.

Bills fans and Beane on the opening of FA.

I will say one thing and that is the timing of Kathy Hochul becoming Gov of NY when she did worked out perfectly for the Bills. 1 to 1.4 billion from NYS. I don't know if that happens with Cuomo despite him saying he is a Bills fan. A WNY girl like Hochul knows how important the Bills are to the people of Buffalo and WNY. She is also a Bills fan herself and that also helps.

With Tommy boy coming back I would think Gronk stays with TB but who knows.

If I were him I would choose the Bills over the Broncos. That division is brutal. The Bills play in a division with Moe, Larry, and Curly. Buffalo has the easier path to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl then the Broncos do. Of course money is always a factor so the Bills offer has to be in line with what others are offering.

The Fins were respectable with Flores they just didn't have a QB. Given everything that has happened to them since I can't see him signing there.

FA officially starts on Wednesday March 16th at 4:00 P.M. However teams can start talking to FA's on Monday March 14th during the "legal tampering" period. Probably will hear lots of rumors on Monday.

The only defining moment from that year was Dalton to Boyd and finally ending the streak.

Same for MetLife. Many Giants/Jets fans wish Giants Stadium was back. Only thing MetLife offers over Giants Stadium is a wider concourse and shorter lines at the bathroom. For the cost its not worth it. There wasn't a bad seat in the house at Giants Stadium.

I don't think people are down on Beane but the pressure is on him big time this offseason. Expectations are a Super Bowl championship. While this is a very good roster they could use help in getting over the hump. Its Beane's job to make sure that happens. Next week should be very interesting when FA finally starts.

Feel the same. The Bills need to go all in as the time to win is now. If they end up in cap hell because of it and have to suffer thru a bunch of losing seasons then so be it. Just win one Super Bowl. Like you said anything after that is gravy. If there was ever a fanbase in sports that deserves a championship its Bills fans.
