You're right!  It's not a popular opinion.

Hey Harley, i definately am not a beer snob that is for sure. I will drink the Nati Light no problem.

But i prefer Rolling Rock, it has grown on me, used to taste skunky but i don't get that anymore. It is cheap here too.


You.

Anything in a green bottle will taste a little skunky. It has to do with the amount of light that hits the beer compared to brown bottles. Heineken is the same way. I like both though.

Yuengling Lager is in a green bottle. I don't think it's skunky. I'm a fan of beer on general. Anything from from those 10% craft beer IPAs all the way down to PBR.

God I hope Preston Brown is an upgrade over Minter. The few recent Bills games that I've seen, he hasn't jumped off the screen at me. People were generally excited when they signed him though.

I don't remember Minter making a single play last year.

Yuengling seems to be one of the exceptions. Most of the time you get some skunkiness with a green bottle. It’s called the lightstruck effect.

DONT LET EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT PRESTON BROWN TAKE AWAY FROM THE FACT THAT KEVIN MINTER IS NO LONGER ON THE TEAM!!!!!

0-16 HERE WE COME!

WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO DO NOW!?

We traded MLB's with the bills like OL coaches with the Cowboys and came out on top in both scenarios

One led the league in tackles the other ran the wrong way every play...

Guess which one we got rid of and which on we have now.

Minter-Sminter

Trudge forward.

Brown will lead team in tackles i bet.

This is an interesting debate. 

My vote will be Jordan Evans.

Spot on!

I've got to go with this position.  I'm still believing if Brown was that good he'd still be there - even if it was only a one year deal or extension to insure the development of his replacement.  Instead he's being supplanted by a 1st round rookie Tremaine Edmunds (2nd of two first round picks by buffalo).  So it will be an interesting 1st quarter or so on Sunday to see who actually plays better Edmunds or Brown.  On the other hand - if the Bengals first unit offense looks as anemic as it did last week, Edmunds may look like a superstar in the making.

The first play when any Buffalo player gets past Brown regardless of reason ,even if we sack their QB for a 20 yard loss, even IF said player goes on to break every bone in his body tripping on a  blade of grass, the mere fact that he gets past Brown will be reason enough for a few people to denounce him as trash..  in fact  I kind of expect it..

Mike backers usually win this but Jordan Evans will be the most improved player; exception may be Vigil.  I am so happy for them both at the moment.  Hope it carries over to regular season.

He had tons to do with it. Number 1 is he knows how to put himself in the right position which our LB's have
had trouble with under Haslett. He is instinctive like Burfict and knows how to set his hips and set a runner on
his backside. We haven't had a LB'er like this except Burfict in many years, since Odell.

To say Preston is no better than Minter is insanity.

Yeah, i used to not like brewskies in the green bottles as much cause of this, but that is beer, an acquired taste.

Also like Bechs.

Will have to try out Yuengling Lager, thanks Jason.

Preston is an upgrade over Minter no question. He will not jump off the screen at you, he is just solid.

Something we have needed in another LB'er besides Burfict in a long time.

Trumaine Edmunds will be a star i am pretty sure.

Best LB'er in the Draft IMO.

Don't try and compare Preston with him, Edmunds could be the next Burfict without fiasco.

Just bigger and faster than Burfict. Maybe not the football know how like Burfict though.

We haven't seen Brown and Burfict on the field together yet.

Thanks Xeno, glad the Bills weren't that dumb, i would start to feel sorry for the guys.

Losing Glenn and Preston, then adding Bovine and then.... Minter would be bad for them.

Bills are my third favorite team after this Offseason behind the Vikes. They helped us out big time.
