I believe so. If that clicks, we may be in business

I'd like that business to be booming.

I'm more interested in CM than I am anyone else during the preseason.

I'm hoping he took the summer more seriously than his online presence dictated, or whatever it was believed he did all summer.

He's slated to play with Sam tonight?

- thatsapickle



It's really the difference between what Fatty actually did all summer vs what the online presence on this board assumed he did. Which was win multiple pie eating contests and drink lard milkshakes.

My guess is we see a leaner/quicker/meaner Mitts.

He’s a elite player that should’ve been paid already imo you ask the world of him every game and now he has to do everything again with no QB

- gerbe75pts

in the nfl, you get a 5 year deal if your a first round pick

he wanted that deal tore up in year 2


never have I seen a player this selfish

never once talked about the team, just him getting paid year in and year out


but continue

Then the NFLPA needs to restructure the Entry Level Contract structure. He's getting paid for his draft position.

If your the best CB your rookie year in the league and every year after that I would be asking to get my money when a player like Jared Goff a system quarterback is getting paid more than me

QB is the most important position on the field by 57 country miles. DBs will likely not sniff the level of an average QB on the pay scale.

baltimore beat miami and the cardinals
new england beat miami and a crappy steelers team


bottom line, 2 road wins in 2 weeks which was as many as we got last year


3 more wins vs the jets and miami

a win vs the steelers, broncos and bengals

a win vs the redskins and eagles

that's 10 wins

the other 6 games are new england twice, baltimore, tennessee, dallas, cleveland

if we go 2 and 4 and drop a game I have as a win, that's 11-5

- navinrjohnson


In McDaniels’ first year in Denver we started 6-0 and still missed the playoffs. The only thing the Bills have guaranteed is 2-0. Don’t count the chickens before they hatch, you most likely end up disappointed. The Bills did what they had to do, which is a very good sign. But to proclaim an 11-5 record after beating two teams who might combine for 6 wins this year is quite the stretch.

You can call Jalen Ramsey selfish all you want But if there was a redraft he would go first overall and he wants to get paid

How about you honor your (frank)ing contract and don't make a spectacle. There are 52 other players on the TEAM, something he knows ZERO about.

Eff him.

He can want to be paid until the cows come home, but he can also not be a huge wiener about it.

Never has a DB been picked first overall and my guess it would not be this guy.

I doubt when it is said and done, this guy does even crack the top 50 of all-time.

This is getting more comical by the minute.

Gerbe is "popcorn worthy".

I can definitely see the Bills winning 10 games this year. However real football starts in mid-November and no football team is a finished product two weeks into the season. I watched the Lions dismantle the Pats last September and one team picked 8th overall and the other won another Super Bowl.

He may have all the talent in the world, but he needs to learn how to keep his mouth shut. A lot of these players do. They'd get a lot further in this situations if they weren't constantly running their mouth, IMO anyway.

Talking all the smack he does about other players in the league is just adding fuel to the fire of his opponents too. It's just stupid.

Why would any GM want to trade for him after he's trashed everyone in the league?

Does Rivers make the Hall without a SB ring?
- Sabre_Tooth


I don't think he is a first ballot HOFer without one but I think he gets in

If I had to rank the 3 from the 2004 draft who I would want

Rivers
Big Ben
Eli

If I had to rank the 3 to make the Hall of Fame

Big Ben is a lock

Rivers and Eli get in eventually even though Rivers is more deserving but Eli has the 2 rings

Can't imagine any coaches that are going to their GMs saying "hey, go get me this guy. I haven't had a good argument with a player on the sidelines in awhile"
