    Next time you want to Call the Pegula's Greedy. Penn State Ticket Policy

    Has anyone ever called the Pegulas greedy?  They did not buy the Bills to make money.  They already had money.  And my understanding is they give a LOT of money away.

    On traffic arrests like this they wait until court is over before a suspension is issued. They sometimes will still suspend players if the arrest was a bad look for the league even if charges are dropped. In this case I can't see Oliver receiving any type of suspension.

    LOL can you imagine if in 2020 Goodell suspended a black man who did nothing wrong because being arrested for doing nothing wrong is "a bad look for the league"

     

    no, this is 100% over

    Good question, Joe. Not sure. I used to be able to get Polish sausage at my Wegman's but hadn't seen it in a while so I asked the manager of their meat department and he said they weren't carrying it anymore. I was very disappointed.

     

    I used to work at the now defunct Bradlee's Department Store back in college. They were owned by the Stop & Shop companies.

    Theres a new pizza chain in NoVA called "Badd Pizza" that advertises "Buffalo style" pizza with sweeter sauce and "cup and char" pepperoni.  Pretty good and wings are good.  Theres a a big "716" above the counter.  No Bills games though, I asked.  Not yet.

    I think 'Overpriced Groceries Stadium' would have a nice ring to it...

     

    (I kid...I visit my Wegman's here in VA when I need some WNY essentials)

    do they have sauerkraut?  I cant find good sauerkraut down here.

    I go where I can get the best deal on things I need.  We do most of our shopping at BJ's.  There are no Wegmans in CT but even if there were, I'd still probably go to BJ's mostly.  There's a comparable store called "Stop & Shop" (Giant below NYS) that we used to go to but stopped after Costco and then BJ's opened up.  When we go to Disney, we always stop at a Publix to stock up on food and I love the place.  

    I remember Stop & Shop from Groton days.

    one might think that a tour in Iraq and some guys playing a game for our entertainment are different things 

    yes, the guys playing a game for our entertainment get infinitely more monetary compensation.  

     

    For a million dollars I would volunteer right now to spend the next 6 months "deployed" with almost zero risk of death or serious injury and the adoration of people I dont know.

    Washington Redskins: 15 women claim sexual harassment

    What is Ron Rivera getting into here? 
     

    I love our team preaches culture and family.

    I could be wrong but I think management believes it, too.  

     

    Kim wasted NO time in bouncing Brandon.  I never thought the allegations were just a cover for a power play at OBD ... I think the Pegs and McD genuinely wanted nothing to do with that sort of thing, morally or legally, and did not want it in the building.

    Yes, the rumors..about Gruden and other team personnel committing sexual harassment, benching players for sleeping with their sidepiece, etc, etc..do you genuinely not know (despite it being documented and google existing) or are you trying to do the whole "..but we don't KNOW anything" thing despite that we know they used used cheerleaders as escorts (~NY Times)? 

     

    Hope this helps.

    No need to be snarky.  There are people, myself included, who dont read the Sports section unless it is about the Buffalo Bills or maybe AFCE rivals.

     

    I live in NoVA and I couldnt tell you anything about the Redskins except they have a questionable team name and beat us in SB XXVI.

    Josh Allen and the Deep Ball - Roundtable Discussion

    There is some truth to earlier posts that Allen May have been overly coached to be safe, and thus a likely reason why he was axing a little like Taylor who won’t throw to a guy unless he is absolutely open, thus overthrowing to make sure he’s not picked off.

    This^^^

     

    McDermott's game philosophy is to play just enough offense to let the defense win the game.  He would rather send the punting unit out than risk a turnover.  If you look at Josh year 1 to year 2, his deep ball got worse, and I can only guess he was coached to throw ahead of coverage to avoid the INT at all costs.

     

    He wont have that issue with Diggs because Diggs is elite at snagging balls in coverage.  I think hes in the top 3 WRs for snagging contested balls.  I think we are going to see Josh throw much tighter to Diggs and I would be surprised if his completion rate doesn't improve past 60% and more.

     

    Of course then there will be some other reason he was the wrong pick ... until we win the AFCE.

    Talk.  Talk.  Talk.

     

    Three years ago, the critics were saying that Josh Allen would be a total bust in the NFL.  The Bills should have drafted Josh Rosen instead.

    While inconsistent, Allen showed lots of promise as a rookie.  At times, he totally took over games with his legs (Minnesota, Miami), while showing incredible leadership and a knack for making big plays late in games.  Rosen was the one who was a complete disaster.

     

    So last offseason, the experts did everything to downplay what Allen was doing well.  Who cares about his athletic ability, his arm or his leadership?  The focus quickly shifted to what he was doing poorly, specifically his struggles with pocket presence and mid/short-range accuracy.  They said he would always be a gunslinger, who would struggle with these kinds of throws.  Allen responded by putting in work, and vastly improving in both of these areas.  

     

    So now the goalpost has moved again.  Now Allen will NEVER SUCCEED unless he improves his deep ball.  

    I guess we'll see...  But I seem to recall that Allen began hitting more and more of these passes in the final quarter of the season.  Specifically in the New England game.

     

     

     

    and they seem to totally blow by the fact Allen is a very accurate passer in midfield.

     

    My guess is these guys only saw the Allen plays presented to them by the research team 5 minutes before the show started.  And those plays were tailored to the narrative being pushed.
