I seen an interesting stat on 2000 yard rushers and the significant drop off in the year following the achievement.

I think your team should be happy about what they accomplished last year and celebrate it.

Some of the talking heads are saying they have never seen a team so unhappy about winning it all

Nothing to see here JP is still a Bill and will be moved back onto the PS

Bills cut Jordan Poyer after just signing him, but there’s a complicated twist:

Just a roster shuffle to put Gabby Davis on the PS then designate him injured then move Poyer back.

Beane knows all the angles

The Bills do not set their menu prices.

Jeremy Jacobs the guy who owns the Boston Bruins runs the concessions.

The Company name is meant to sound Buffalonian....Delaware North but they own the rights to cold hot dogs and pizza

In more negative Dolphins news the Athletic (paywall) did a fan survey about how confident the fans are in their team.

The Fins finished near the bottom with 19% of fans positive the team is heading in the right direction thats 81% negative.

The Bills were tied near the top(Chiefs Ravens ect) with 93% positive

On the hotdog front former Home Depot CEO Arthur Blank and also one of the three company founders owns the Falcons.

A few years ago he set out to have the cheapest menu prices in the NFL and he succeeded.

The Falcons also have some of the highest PSL's in the league ranging from $1,200 to $60,000 per seat

Currently the Bills do not have PSL's but will have them in the the New Highmark Stadium.

Like I said, the disrespect is crazy. People like to hate Tua, and I don’t know why. His only knock is health. Yet Burrow has missed more games than Tua. When healthy, the guy is top 5 in most qb stats. Top 2 or 1st in some. Now, I’m not saying he should be top 5, but to hell with 20th or 28th

That is so awesome!

I put a link to a fan website that listed the top 50 WYO Cowboys JA17 ranked 8th

#1 He is the most famous player to play there and his WYO jersey is still a huge seller

#2 He is a huge legend breaking his collar bone on his RIGHT Shoulder in 7 places in his rookie debut after scoring a TD then as an encore he ran for another 24 yards and took on a LB trying for a few more.

#3 Took the Cowboys to a Bowl game the next year the Poinsettias Bowl against the BYU Cougars but lost 24-21 throwing a pick on the final drive.

#4 Took them back to a Bowl game the next year the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl this time beating the Central Michigan Chippewa's 37-14 throwing 3 TD passes and was named MVP of the game.

The kicker is he missed the last 2 games of the season with a injury to his throwing shoulder and most of these college guys that are draft eligible would pack it in and not play but that is not Josh.

I watched that game and he proved he was the Alpha Dog that day the kind of guy your teammates love respect and admire.

#5 He led the 'Boys to their first ever win in history against the Boise State Broncos(he won the bowl game on their blue turf)

He wound up #8 on the all time WYO Cowboys list in only 2 years playing.

Well Shregs just picked the Bills to win the Super Bowl this afternoon

He has picked 5 of the last 6 correctly(he was wrong last year but KC was there...kind of )

Kyle Brandt picked them this morning on GMFB

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-last-6-champs

I guess Peyton and JA17 have become buddies and he told Josh to keep Billieving that his SB is coming.

Now there is a guy with no quit in him so he should know.
