re Josh Allen in Buffalo - I guess we'll find out, but what makes you think Buffalo is a favourable venue? IMO he's a very raw prospect, going into a below average offense - their WRs are well below average, they've lost a ton of OL talent, but they do have McCoy. He also has nobody alongside him in terms of QBs who can help him get acclimatised.
The part about Buffalo being a better destination for Allen is that it's a relatively calm media market, ownership isn't crazy, and there won't be a ton of pressure to do anything in particular right away. Sean McDermott is the new coach and he has a legit offensive pedigree.

Training camps underway this week. Preseason games just around the corner.

To me, one of the under-reported stories is the turnover of NFL refs. Terry McAulay, Gene Steratore, Ed Hochuli and Jeff Triplette have all left. Hochuli retiring and the other 3 taking jobs as TV analysts. Factor in all the rule changes for targeting and such and it's going to be a controversy filled couple of months to start the season.
