All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is a good reason that many experts are bullish on the Bills, despite an iffy quarterback situation and a 14-year playoff drought: they have a lot of young talent.
Galliford does a nice job with these every year. Very interesting to see our talent from this perspective... two tackles, a DT, an emerging corner, an impact LB and three WRs all under 25, not to mention Manuel, Aaron Williams and some solid honorable mentions. Pretty impressive.

Not sure what it amounts to in terms of comps with other teams.
Take the Jets as a simple first example;
Millner
Brian Winters
Stephon Hill
Quinton Coples
Sheldon Richardson
Geno Smith
Demario Davis
Wilkerson
Kerley
Powell
Damon Harrison
Antonio Allen
Then add to that their lengthy draft list including
Pryor
Amaro
McDougle
and three 4th rounders along with Tajh Boyd.

It's a protection mechanism.
You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."
"We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."
"We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.
Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)
"And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley
He is very young, which is one of the reasons asking him to start day-one may be overly ambitious. Anothony Davis of the 49ers was also very young when drafted and struggled quite a bit as a rookie. Obviously he turned out all right but something to keep in mind with respect to Kouandjio.
