I think hughes takes a pay cut to stay

I think daryl williams comes back for 1 year below market value

the o line and milano will be the key for this offseason

- homiedclown


Williams might give us a hometown discount but not sure why he’s ever sign a 1 year deal??

The #Chargers are hiring #Rams DC Brandon Staley as their new head coach, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. An impressive young candidate, he gets a prime job in LA.

I mean that’s huge for Bills fans...

And with insiders believing Watson won’t play for Houston that has to be a not popular destination for an offensive minded coach

Have to think he remains in Buffalo at this point yes.

Maybe Philly looks at him.

Source close to Brian Daboll “He’ll be the big name for head coach next year”

I sense from talking to agents and other candidates tonight —this was a “surprise pick” by the Chargers

That’s sort of what I mean.

They went to 9 of them over two decades

Imagine ever being bored for a second of a Bills SB.

I’d savor every minute

- sbroads24

I'll take being "bored" over the nonsense that was 2000-2017, or the Sabres since 2011. I am utterly apathetic towards the Sabres right now, and I was that way with the Bills in spurts. And they all started once Bledsoe was let go.

Sure, or you could be a Saints fan and watch the Minneapolis Miracle, The terrible PI call against the Rams, and then losing to Brady today in the divisional round with possibly the best supporting cast Brees ever had.

It’s a catch 22.

Sure, being a Broncos fan I was emotionally checked out by week 10 and it might not have been as “fun” as the Manning years.

However, I also didn’t have to deal with losing to Flacco via two Hail Marys in 2012 because the safety took the worst angle possible blowing a routine play leading to a Ravens SB. Broncos had the best team that year too even and may have won another ring.

Losing the Super Bowl itself in 2013 by 34 points. Another missed opportunity.

Being upset in the divisional round the year after by the Colts leading to John Fox being fired after a 12-4 season and 4 straight AFC West Titles and a SB appearance the year before.

Do you think Green Bay Packers fans are going to be jerking their meat to anything other than a SB ring this year ? Ditto KC ?

It’s different for Buffalo because the bar was low.

Imagine being such a complete douchebag that you are happy watching sports only when/if bbn your team wins a championship.

God forbid you enjoy the sport and fandom like a god damn pleb.

- Sabretooth9

assuming he comes back for 2021, he's not gonna walk away when this rebuild is done

I mean get out now, or plan on another 5 years and it doesn't look like he is getting out now


he is 48 wins behind shula, and I doubt his ego will let him walk away w/o getting to 329 wins

I would be more in your corner if zero championships came out of it. I've always said if you give me the choice between 1 championship and then 25 straight years of not even making the postseason or 25 straight years of contention but no championship, I take option A every day without hesitation. If I were a Saints fan, I got my championship in 2011. I don't want to say the rest is gravy, but it makes everything much, much easier to stomach.

This is Gary in Lockport. Thanks for taking my call. I've been watching since the Jack Kemp days so I've seen just about everything. The Bills are not going to beat Mahomes without running the ball 30 times, OK? Fancy football isn't going to beat that guy. Kerp Mahomes off the field. McDermott needs to go back and watch some Cookie Gilchrist tape. That guy could run. And Howard, I know the defense played better but Edwards is terrible. He's awful. Thanks for taking my call
