  1. Why that never wrong oracle PFF. I see 311 on the Bills website.
  2. Trent Williams, the gold standard amongst tackles, is 6-5 320. Brown is 6-8 290, does he get bigger in the weight room? or with Josh's mobility do we keep him long and mean.
  3. Bourne made a couple of nice plays, Bills getting up 14-0 and Patsies missing pieces on the O-Line meant the Pats couldn't run like they did in the windy night game. Defense looked old and slow, against even older Manny Sanders, and they didn't seem to have anyone who could spy Josh Allen. Have never seen a 13 second play before in the red zone.
  4. I don't think after the Cam fiasco, that BB wants anything to do with a Watson type player regardless of talent. Jimmy G was originally a BB guy and suspect he will be on the market soon, but can BB cure his tendency to throw stupid picks at the worst possible times.
  5. Arrowhead is located on the I-435 loop where I-70 intersects. Dining depends on where you are staying. KC is noted for its barbeque, and some of the best is at non-descript diners and gas stations. If you are staying downtown, the Power & Light district is very cool. Airport is 30 miles from the stadium, almost to Leavenworth Kansas. A very neat attraction in the city area is the "***** Leagues Baseball Museum", which is co-located with the American Jazz Museum, both are very cool. Lot of Satchel Paige stuff, who used to visit Buffalo when pitching in the International League.
  6. New Orleans beat Green Bay 38-3. We beat the 'aints on Turkey Day at their place 31-6. Food for thought. SB will be indoors.
  7. Fitz has the third highest Wonderlic score of any NFL player. Pat McInally, a punter also from Harvard has the only perfect score. Lackawanna native, Mike Mamula, a Boston College product had a 49, which convinced the Eagles to draft him over Warren Sapp, oops. I agree, Fitz if he wants to work, (and I'm sure his Harvard buddies are running his money, so he's kept most of it), will be a FO guy like Elway.
  8. Butler and McDermott went to HS together. After the season this secondary has put together, if Frazier leaves, we have the guy. Dorsey is the Josh whisperer.
  9. I think after having 31 points hung on their defense at Arrowhead in October, the Chiefs may have similar concerns about their defense against us. We just scored 47 on the #2 defense, and piled up 482 yards from scrimmage and never had to punt, against the Hoodie who is generally acknowledged to be the greatest defensive guru of the modern era. Chiefs scored 20 on our defense, which scored 7 on Hyde's Int.
  10. Since they moved to Nashville, the Bills have played the Titans 12 times. 7 times in Nashville including the forward lateral [I wuz there SMH]. 5 times in the OP. We are 4-8 in those games, 2-5 in Nashvegas, 2-3 in the OP. I think the Bills should have shirts made up for this game that show: 1-3-93 (41-38 OT). Just a thought.
  11. Josh Allen is 4.5 yards short of having a perfect passer rating. If he had 313 yards on his 25 attempts he would have a perfect rating of 158.3.
  12. Unfortunately there is likely at least one idiot in the crowd, who fueled with pregame libations, would pull the batteries from his $150 heated gloves and fling those as shrapnel at either an opponent or a referee.
  13. Probably splitting hairs here, I was at the game with my dad, Playoff vs. the Pats in 1963, Bills lost 26-8, the bleacher seats in the rockpile were formed by pressing a garbage can into the foot of snow that had fallen the week of the game, pro football reference says that was a 21 degree game, wind chill of 9, humidity of 77% wind 11 mph. I think the thought of wood plank bleachers in the rockpile might move that into contention. Last I knew 21 is colder than 22.
  14. only two letters difference.
  15. Steve was shorter 6'-1/2"and lighter 205 than Josh, but had more footspeed (4.55 which is serious quicks for a QB of his era).
  16. Bills sack record for a game is 11. Set by the great 1964 team.
  17. 27-10 do we cover or vulture it away with a prevent?
  18. How would you like to be Heath Farwell this week, between the inept punting, and punt returners....
  19. Carroll was the Bills DB coach in 1984. We were a wonderful 2-14 that year, with the 27th ranked defense. That performance gave us the ability to draft Bruce, so something good came out of it.
  20. That's correct, they are treated like performing artists, and are taxed based on where the game is played, at least for state taxes. To some extent those state taxes can be used as an itemized deduction against federal taxes, but that still only saves them the federal percentage rate of state taxes paid, not the entire amount of state tax paid.
  21. League average in one score games is 50%. one team wins, one team loses. In the four McDermott seasons, Bills have played 26 games decided by 8 points or less. we are 12-14 with this year's 0-5 factored in. So before this year, Bills were ahead of the expected outcome by 3 wins (12 wins 9 losses). In games decided by more than 8 points Bills are 27-11 [.711 win % - equates 12-5 in a 17 game season]
  22. Buffalo Bills players remember the prank played on special teams ace Steve Tasker after his spectacular kickoff return during the team’s come-from-behind 29-23 victory over the Los Angeles Raiders in the 1994 divisional playoffs. That same day, team officials recall that the press box windows were so clouded by condensation that the team bought some deicer and used a large squeegee to repeatedly clear off the 10-foot-high windows. And many fans probably remember that the win sent the Bills to the AFC Championship Game, just one win away from their fourth straight Super Bowl appearance. But the game, played 20 years ago today, on Jan. 15, 1994, found its way into the team’s record book for another reason: The temperature was zero degrees, making it the coldest Bills game ever. The wind-chill temperature supposedly was 32 degrees below zero, although that formula has changed since then. Speaking of bad weather games.
  23. December 28th 1963. Pats at Bills in the Rockpile, AFC Playoff to meet Chargers in the title game. 21 degrees wind chill of 9, tickets were my big christmas present - our seats in the bleachers were formed by pressing a garbage can into the snow since Buffalo had a foot of snow earlier in the week. Makes me think hey, a dome would be good.
  24. Jordan Davis will be off the board long before we pick. I'm thinking this guy may be available when we get to pick, and don't mind the Alabama pedigree Phidarian Mathis, DT, Alabama Height: 6-4. Weight: 320. Projected 40 Time: 5.46. Projected Round (2022): 2-3..
  25. It should be noted that the only one of the "ace" quarterbacks noted as having bad games had them in anything resembling yesterday's weather. Rodgers 21-13 loss to the Bills was in 38 degree weather. Every other one of the quarterbacks listed had those days either in a Dome [Brees vs. Falcons] or in weather that Buffalo would consider a beautiful summer or fall day. Yesterday was 26 degrees 11 mph wind, and intermittent snow.
