I get it and kind of agree.

But there's 225 and then there's 225, and they don't always look the same

 

 

Fwiw, when the Bills paid Milano, my only concern was about his durability.

That concern appears to have been unfounded and I hope it is this time as well.

 

 

 

From that pic you can see Milano is an easy 25lbs+ heavier than Bernard.

I sometimes have dreams I lead the Bills to their first Super Bowl win as a HC.  Randomly I meet Terry Pegula at like Wegmans, I tell him my son's flag football offense is unstoppable and he hires me on the spot.  You know, like a Disney fairy tale.

 

Is that being too honest?

I mean, you couldn't be too much worse than McClappy, right?

Do we think this impacts the timeline of Kirksey getting called up to the active roster?

Well I see you failed 5th grade math.  How many times did you fail or can't you count that high?

 

Christian Kirksey did not need to retire. He could have asked to be released and try another PS or wait for someone to work if he did not want to be paid to practice and provide veteran leadership.

I have to question your reading comprehension here my dude. Wtf does counting or 5th grade math have anything to do with my post? Chill out man. Not that serious.

AJ Klein expected to sign with Bills today. per X - Mike garaffolo

[NoHuddleKelly12]

This is definitely classic. We get all hyped for a guy only to see them decide it’s just a game and want to walk away with all limbs intact??!! I’m still ticked about P. Harvin too. 

[Dillenger4]

One thing Klein can do well is hit HARD!!! I like Klein as a backup.

Welp, I didn't even have enough time to learn how to spell your name..  Happy trails.

Bernard is ballin.  Don't try to deny it.

Actually was living in the pit at the new stadium excavation (and had a naked excrement-covered visitor last weekend)

 

Can we be certain that the naked excrement covered fella wasn't AJ after a few bowling ball shots?

[RyanC883]

I wonder of Klein will be active and in on running downs vs. teams like the Jets that are run heavy?  At any rate AJ coming back is good for depth at MLB.

You exaggerate Klein's age - I exaggerate your ability to subtract current year from year Klein was born.

At least when game plan was adjusted with starter out to him he was capable of this:

Bills LB A.J. Klein named AFC Defensive Player of the Week

https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2020/12/bills-lb-aj-klein-named-afc-defensive-player-of-the-week.html#:~:text=Klein was named the AFC,in his eight-year career.

 

 

Quote

Klein was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week after he recorded 14 tackles (10 solo), three tackles for a loss, one pass breakup, and 1.5 sacks in the Bills’ 27-17 win against the Los Angeles Chargers last Sunday. This is the first time Klein, 29, has received the award in his eight-year career.

 

Klein could have been the AFC Defensive Player of the Week three weeks ago when he had his breakout game against the Seattle Seahawks, recording 2.0 sacks, four quarterback hits, one forced fumble, and a fumble recovery.

Touché!

[T master]

Well that's a huge change from what he was saying when they brought him aboard I wonder if it was because they kept him on the practice squad & didn't bring him up ASAP ?? 

 

I guess we will find out if after he is released he signs with another team ... If that be the case then the Bills didn't need him around anyway !!

Wow.  That came out of nowhere

[stevewin]

Just watched the Micah Hyde mic'ed up and there was a quick shot of Kirksey on the sideline - nice to know he got to see the field

There's something about the family atmosphere in WNY that makes players want to retire and spend more time with the wife and kids.
