JOE IN HAMPTON ROADS

Correct. There is ZERO chance McBeane did not brief the Pegs and get owner buy-in for their plan to tear down and rebuild.

and I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids! I expect he will win football games.

good thing theres nothing like that going on now.

to the nattering nabobs of negativity: how is it that through two decades of a miserly owner, over-the-hill, rearward-looking management, castoff coaches with proven loss records coaching other teams, and JV team QBs with no real potential in the NFL, Bills fans consistently "circled the wagons" and found a way to "billieve" in bad teams … but now that we have an owner who puts football before profits, a young, forward-looking management team and coaching staff with a proven track record of getting us into the playoffs after 17 years of other peoples' failure, and a franchise QB who has signs of potentially being one of the greats, all you can repeat like a mantra of self-flagellation is: "woe, destruction, death and decay!" please follow another team.

I think we still get Metcalf at or below #10. Most bad teams need D help. So I don't mind sliding a few spots. Meanwhile legions of clueless fans are ready to revolt because we took a step back to rebuild. We need a win going into the offseason to tamp down the (needless) drama.

"don't let him leave the building"!

May they rest in peace. God bless you and all the good posters.

Yes. Last year they had to prove competence to Pegs and fans and ditch the curse. There was tremendous pressure to get to the playoffs. Also Beane and scouts were not in place for the draft and barely for FA. They could not have had a rebuild plan ready with owner buy-in much before Sep. Last year was NOT the first year of the rebuild.

funny, most of our quarterbacks since Kelly have been criticized for always going to the checkdown. how illuminating. I'm intrigued. Or not.

with our current offensive talent pool, this is winning.

he spent his weekend looking for houses in Green Bay

it only stood because the standard for overturning a field call is high. our receivers need to catch the ball clean.

well I had to get up and find a pencil … and some scrap paper … then I had my wife read it back to me and it wasn't funny the first time …. then it was funny because she still didn't get it

sorry Gugny, he thinks you are an idiot too.

that is 5 minutes I will never get back

this would be a funny post if we were really talking about Tom Brady's *****.

I thought it was going to be Tom Brady's ***** or something.

second half we were too conservative by half. Juaron ball again. this ones on Daboll and McD.

who? I seriously don't remember this guy.

well to be fair, there were at least 3 Stillers fans trying to hold him back. so only 25% of Stillers fans can be said to be total d-bags.

the consensus in the national media and most of this board until a few weeks was JA could not be an NFL QB due to: 1. accuracy. seems pretty accurate most of the time to me. many of his incompletions are catchable. 2. footwork. its all wrong and cant be fixed. right? I specifically remember this being an issue after the draft. 3. reading defense. he cant process fast enough. supposedly. 4. too big and slow. all big guys must be slow, its a rule somewhere. 5. Wyoming?? no one good comes from a school not ranked in the top ten nationally. its just not possible.

yes, lets start from square one again for the nth time in 30 years. Because that has been working so well. not INterested.

wasn't footwork supposed to be the achilles heel of JA? yeah, right.

"don't let him out of the building!"

especially since Kiko didn't ask to be traded he seemed shocked to hear it
