  1. Overreact much? An "F" for the OL on a night when the offense scored 31 and a FG or TD at the end pushes it to 34 or 38? Spencer Brown had an off game. I really believe in another year or two he will be an All-Pro but he's a rookie and rookies will have off nights. One sack was due to a miscommunication along the line and Dawkins got blown up on the sneak. Not much push on a lot of running plays. If you want to give them a grade, give them a "C". The loss was due to lousy play from the D, especially up front. I was expecting constant pressure and it just wasn't there. Bit on play-action the whole second half.
  2. I get that he trolls Bills' fans (hard) for clicks but I question the business strategy behind it. He is already WAY past sounding like a total idiot with his Josh Allen hate. I think he runs the risk of losing whatever little airtime he has now.
  3. I get that the Bills don't have a ton of skin in this particular question (other than a decent comp pick) but if you look at what Darnold is doing in Carolina and how the Bears are in the process of destroying Fields, I can see how a team could be very interested in Trubisky this offseason, especially if the Bills showcase him in a meaningless end of season game and he looks decent in said meaningless game. Trubisky in Chicago looked a helluva lot better than Darnold did in NY.
  4. I was at this game too. Fun game to watch because of the outcome. Raiders would have won in a walk except that they went ultra-conservative in the second half and allowed the Bills to get back into the game. Norwood was beyond brutal.
  5. QB - Kelly, Ferguson, Kemp (not leaving off a QB who took us to back-to-back AFL Championships)(Josh will be on this list soon enough, maybe after this year. RB - Simpson, Thomas, Cribbs FB - Gilchrist, Braxton WR - Reed, Dubenion, Butler, Moulds TE - McKellar, Metzelars (what a black hole of a position) (should have drafted Gronk just to add a legitimate name to this list) OL - Devlin, Shaw, Hull, Joe D., Ballard, Wolford, Richter, McKenzie, D. Green (I'm leaving Peters off the list for same reason as leaving Lofton and Lynch off - HOF but mostly for different teams). DL - Bruce, Sestak, T. Washington, McDole, Hughes, P. Williams, Smerlas, Hansen LB - Bennett, Stratton, Spikes, Talley, Haslett, Conlan DB - James, Edgerson, Winfield, Clements, Saimes, T. Greene, H. Jones, Hyde K - Christie P - Moorman LS - one of these guys can learn to snap the ball
  6. Hope the Dolphins' D destroys this kid in the season opener. Of course, Pats will probably win 5 - 3 on a last minute safety.
  7. Bobby Hart is the reason Cody Ford isn't going anywhere. If Williams gets hurt, Ford slides to RT. If Dawkins gets hurt, Williams goes to LT and Ford goes to RT. It isn't ideal but I don't think Brown is ready and Bates isn't the answer at LT or RT.
  8. The Jauron years were the worst. Four years and the offensive rankings were 30, 25, 30 and 30 or something like that. Most amazing statistic has to be 2007 season - #30 in offense, #31 in defense, negative 109 point differential and we still go 7-9! It was such a loser mentality. Ultra conservative offense and wait for the other team to make a mistake, which only worked when the other team was total crap. The Bobby April special teams, however, were truly special.
  9. Re Neal Walk. No, it was because he was one of the hairiest humans ever. I was I could post a photo but don't know how to do that without help.
  10. I also find it interesting that the Bucks beat the Suns. Both came into the league same year (1967). Bucks won a coin flip and got Lew Alcindor. Suns got Neal Walk (the "Human Sweater"). I think the Suns are the Sabres' doppelganger. Both teams entered their respective leagues around the same time (late '60's early '70's), had some early success (Suns lost in NBA finals to Celtics, Sabres lost NHL finals to Flyers), were generally good but not great teams for decades, had one more run at a championship (Suns with Barkley, Sabres with Hasek), both went into an ugly 10 year funk - and there the stories diverge. Suns look like they will compete for a title for at least a couple more years while the Sabres are an ongoing dumpster fire. Rochester Royals have an interesting history. Moved to Cincinnati and became Cincinnati Royals. Got hometown hero Oscar Robertson but didn't win anything. Became the Kansas City-Omaha Kings, then the Kansas City Kings, then the Sacramento Kings (with fellow California NBA team the Los Angeles Clippers, formerly San Diego Clippers, formerly your Buffalo Braves).
  11. Pease stop with the "it's his choice" BS. We're seeing it now. If enough people don't get vaccinated, it allows the virus to mutate and spread. We live in a society. If you live in that society, you need to obey the rules of that society. I'm all for mandatory vaccination so that everyone in the society can be protected. We did mandatory vaccinations in the past for smallpox. We would have done it for polio in the 50's but I guess people weren't stupid enough back then to fail to protect their children from lifetime paralysis.
  12. This is exactly right. The Bills didn't trade Jefferson for Diggs. Vikings got extremely lucky that Eagles passed on Jefferson. It turns out trade worked out well for both teams. If they had to do it over again, even knowing Jefferson would be there, the Bills would do this trade every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
  13. Bryce Brown fumble was the turning point to the whole GD season. Of course, no QB so they weren't going anywhere anyway.
  14. One of my favorite all-time Bills. My brother and I had crappy end zone seats for the next to last game of the 1973 season. High school classmate was on the field clearing snow in between plays. OJ ran for over 200 yards setting up the record breaking 2003 yard season the next week against the Jets. Chandler caught two TDs right in front of us. Great game, great time!
  15. My God, how great is it to watch McKenzie and Joe D. leading those sweeps? Just wonderful.
  16. "The Autumn wind blows in like a Raider" (paraphrasing maybe).
  17. You know, it's really not that simple. If an insufficient number of individuals fail to get a vaccine, it has the potential to let COVID hang around until it mutates into a strain that is resistant to the vaccine. We're already starting to see something like this with the variants. Bottom-line, if you live in a society you follow the rules laid down by the society for the benefit of everyone in the society. I'd be ok with mandatory vaccinations with medical exceptions.
  18. I think we might have a trading partner here for Eichel. Maybe add Star's contract to make the numbers work.
  19. If we're going to play the hindsight game, why not stay at #9 and pick - oh, I don't know - maybe the best defensive player of all time? We didn't of course, because we picked a fat tub of lard the year before. 1996 - amazing year for WR's. We picked what, the fifth WR in the draft and got near HOF quality.
  20. As memorably said by Harry Dean Stanton in "Repo Man", "ordinary ******* people. I hate 'em."
  21. I'm very happy it's the Cowboys and not the Bills. Much rather play a 44 year old QB near the end of the season rather than the beginning. It happened to Peyton Manning. It happened to Drew Brees last year. It's got to happen to Brady eventually, right?
  22. Did anyone give us an A++++ grade after the 2018 draft?
