  1. Maybe because the whole mentoring thing is a overrated old wives tale.
  2. He really has nothing to lose and a lot to gain by coming to Buffalo. If nothing else he gets to show why someone should offer him a contract for next season. I fully expect him to show up. Happy or not.
  3. Where are all the people who in the past have been outraged by Vicks dog torture and Pig Bens alleged rape? Where are all the people who thought dumping Lynch was a great move because of his legal problems? Doesn't choking a woman and holding her prisoner count? The charges were dropped in a week (unlike Pig Ben who never had charges filed in the first place)and personally I don't think it should matter as far as playing football is concerned. But I'm curious why people aren't outraged by Merriman being a Bill now?
  4. For whatever reason the Ravens and Chiefs pulled their gameplans out of their asses and decided they were going to pass instead of running the ball down the Bills throats. If Chicago makes that same mistake we have a very good chance. If they don't this game will be like any other where the opponent has a good running game and uses it.
  5. It's very simple. Having a game in Toronto helps the ticket prices for true home games, including season ticket prices, to stay so low. And at the same time puts some nice guaranteed cha-ching into the old mans pocket. It was a very good business move, albeit a very poor football one (except as noted below). And since the games are outside the US, it also satisfies the NFL's "overseas" rule that put the SF game for example in England last week. That is a very good football move for the Bills as the travel to/from Europe must throw the normal training schedule right down the crapper.
  6. To learn what? It's about as basic of an offense as there is.
  7. After B word slapping the spread the past 2 weeks, this one looks a lot more reasonable. I think that in Buffalo the Bills win this one outright in a squeeker. In Toronto, it could go either way. No bet this week.
  8. If I am reading this simulation site correctly, it thinks the likely record for the Bills this season is 3-13 followed closely by 2-14.
  9. In Rochester is shows as: Not exactly accurate regarding location, but it is showing anyway. I'm not sure anymore if the NFL automatically considers it a sellout or not.
  10. And if it had been the reverse situation and the Bills had won the game by doing that most people here would be praising Gailey for his game management. I do, actually, like your plan with a concrete number of seconds left on the playclock and would be for it. It gets old and annoying the way it is. A football game drags on as it is without that adding to it.
  11. Thanks. Looking for HD links to stream to my TV for the remaining home games. I suspect most will not sell out unless a miracle happens and the Bills win a few games. Check just before gametime.
  12. The Bills B word slapped the spread last week. I think I take KC and give the points. But not a huge bet.
  13. I have liked this site for a few years now. I watch it mostly for hockey but it is fun for football too. According to this site, if the Bills win out at this point, they have a 68.3% chance of making the playoffs. If they win only 9 of their remaining games, this drops to 10.6%. Before all the homers start complaining and talking about this stat or that stat or "buying into the system", this is just for fun. But for hockey at least, it has been pretty accurate the past few years. Bills Playoffs Chances
  14. I haven't figured that entire game out yet myself. The Ravens have a good running offense and they are playing a defense that couldn't stop the run the entire season so far if their lives depended on it. So what do they do ... pass most of the time, particularly on first down. It was like they were trying to lose or something. Weird. Or maybe Rocco had a lot of money on the Bills covering last week
  15. The combination of the KC offense and the Bills defense makes KC scoring only 17 points a bit hard to believe. I suspect they will have at least that at halftime. The question then becomes can the Bills offense from a week ago show up this week as well and manage to win a shootout.
  16. Only about 6 other threads discussing this already.
  17. Actually 3 days ago.
  18. Fixed.
  19. Oh what a difference one game can make. From threads wondering how many years before Gailey is fired to statements like this after one game It will be interesting to see what they can do against a supposedly lesser opponent this week in KC.
  20. The Bungles look particularly beatable at the moment.
