  1. thanks for sharing, a good number of  us are passionate-loyal-dedicated Bills fans because of our strong family-community bond that unites no matter our other differences across across WNY, the country, home games, road trips with plane full of Bills fans wearing the colors...a lot of it started with our parents back in the AFL days and we have followed their leads..condolences to your family of Bills fans, may she rest in peace, and her spirit continue to be with you during the games.

  2. thanks much, excellent points...I do expect Bills to draft a swing G-RT with the first pick as the draft is suppose to be deep in tackles and Bills will scrutinize for the ability to play both G-OT.   I dont expect to start right away but perhaps in-season... I don't see the replacement for Morse being this pick, G-C,  so this complicates what to do with Feliciano and I say keep unless someone blows our offer away.

     

    I see Ike B as the LG and Feliciano retained as RG and backup C to Morse.  Ford likely to be starter at RT until rookie is ready.  Not ideal as you mention Ford is mediocre at best as OT and much better at G which should help the running game.

    Resistance from NFLPA.  I think adding a game is very hard until scheduling issues are under control and full stadiums are possible for all teams.  With expanded schedule is better for NFL to accept starting before Labor Day and extra bye weeks.  Players will be healthier and there will be more possibility of spaces for reschedules.

    yeah I agree that an extra bye week makes sense;  rest and recovery first and then it adds flexibility for the Thurs nite scheduling where you can have teams avoid playing on only 4 days of rest and preparation and instead have them play that Thurs nite game coming back from a bye week...and then have the Super Bowl played deeper into Feb where the game is played the night before the presidents day holiday - a Monday, a federal holiday.

  4. CBS - Brent, Phyllis and Irv with Jimmy the Greek - one man still standing - very little Bills coverage other than the score or quick highlight featuring the NFC team scoring due to CBS being the NFC network back in the day...memories...may he rest in peace

  5. it does work...from the memory banks

     

    lou saban used to do that some back in the day...he moved Ike Harrison from WR to CB (starter) and also moved Bo Cornell from RB to LB (another starter) and local legend Paul Maguire led the country in TD receptions at the Citadel and became an NFL LB-punter and then broadcaster and all of that

     

    Ken Jones was a 2nd round pick (1976) and he switched from DL to OL  = served as a head football coach at LaSalle Senior High School in Niagara Falls fpo several years

     

    We also moved Jason Peters from TE to LT and the rest is history.

     

    We also moved another second round pick (2011) Aaron Williams from CB to safety before he got hurt and had to retire

  6. I kind of wish Frazier had gotten the Texans job, we would have gotten 2 number 3 picks and the D is in good hands overall with coach McD and maybe a change would do the D good.  Our D line coach was the Panthers D coord as well so we are well stocked coaching that side of the ball..which makes me feel better that Daboll was not a prime candidate to move on...their loss is our gain.

     

    judging by the number of interviews... interesting that Eric Bieniemy had another year of consideration and no job.

    wonder if he has been given an offer and turned it down or  does he interview poorly and suffers from the stigma of basically running Andy Reid's offense for him.

  7. GB = Wisc boy, his boyhood dream, just need to make cap space - the favorite landing spot for multiple reasons

    Tenn - contender, solid QB, no state tax - they can use Clowneys cap space for him - choice # 2

    his two bros play for Pitt - but one plays his position and the qb situation is unclear and they got cap issues - so...NO

    The Bills - the bronze medal winner I am afraid 

    Clev would be a shocker ?!?!

     

  8. from what I gather the league is borrowing some money from future year caps to take the pressure off this seasons....still a significant drop and you know all pre-pandemic planning-extensions were based on the cap going up-up-up...the 17 game season, new TV contracts will likely jolt it, as well as attendance which was 2.1M down from 17M...hoping they keep the extra wild-card team and game per conference as done last season as well...

  9. good trade for Colts, they gave a modest return, they have the cap to fit and the Reich and Wentz combo seems comfortable and productive. 

     

    Colts have a better O-LINE and overall O so it makes a lot of sense plus Philly got him out of the NFC away from the Bears who needed to overpay to get Wentz and likely passed on the deal.

     

    Eagles still hit with a 33M dead cap in 2021 and maybe some more in 2022...they are still in cap jail..

     

    Reich and Wentz sounds like a German Law Firm...

  10. agree Milano is likley gone; I just hope its not to a div or conf rival

     

    He has to be replaced, so I see AJ White getting the start, as he did when Milano was hurt...I see Dodson as backup and ST contributor. 

     

    I also would like a second-day draft pick spent on the LB position for depth and emerging starter mid-season or next

     

    Next season the focus becomes Edmunds because unlikely to sign both he or Milano doesnt mean we have to automatically resign Edmunds to megabucks

     

    Plus will he switch positions and become an OLB - TE coverage needs improvement for sure

     

    His missed tackles rate and PFF position rating were not very good for last season; not deserving of a big extension

  11. similar story with the Stanley Cup...kids eating cereal out of the cup, kids being washed in the cup, Tom Barasso said it spent one nite sleeping at the bottom of his swimming pool, Martin Brodeur had a street hockey tournament in his driveway for the kids and when the winning team won they paraded the cup around the hood with little ones and dogs and cats sitting in the cup...this all makes me smile and laugh...a Karen moment indeed...so lets have a moment of silence for her whilst we mumble eff ewe under our collective breathes...

  12. excellent research but your spending cash that we really dont have, for starters I prefer focus on our own FAs esp the RFA - Ike B, Isiah WR, Wallace CB, punter.

     

    I would also extend Hyde FA 2022 for 1 year and determine if I can sign Josh to that big extension this season or not, sooner the better as it only goes up every year for QBs and we save millions during a 6-7 year extension for Josh

     

    Its a quality year for tackles so I can see us dropping from pick 30 into early second round to get more mid-round picks like a 4th that we dont have currently so we can grab a  sleeper TE:

     

    I like Tony Poljan who transfer from 1. playing qb to TE 2. to UVA from Cent Mich -

     

    kid is smart, 6-7 and 265 - has arm length and body to run block and to shield defenders to make short-yardage or red zone catches while covered..has the body of Gronk more or less
