  1. This place is insufferable sometimes. A rookie QB in his first start against a solid D with near zero support. All I wanted to see was that the game wasn't too big for him, and it wasn't. With time, the game will slow down for him and then you guys can nitpick every throw to your heart's content. To think that you can predict his future based on his first start is the epitome of football fan arrogance. RTB
  2. I think the most important factor in Josh's early development will be Dabol's game plan. He has to scheme WR open while maximizing protection for a rookie QB. Hard to do with wideouts who can't seem to catch and a sieve for an O-line. RTB
  3. Anyone who thinks we could have sat at 12 and gotten our QB is kidding themselves. The trade up was preordained it was just a matter of how much and for who. I love that they had a choice of 2 guys and we know for sure who they preferred as opposed to taking the last guy left. The tweets are a non issue but will be made one by the media. He's handled it well so far and sounds very mature. Every single one of us said stupid crap when we were 15. thank God we didn't have social media to record it. One of the top QBs, top LBs and not giving up any of next year's draft picks is a great start. RTB
  4. I just like to get my name in some of the stupidest threads of all time so if we ever collect them in a book I can say "I was there!" RTB
  5. Tyrod being Tyrod. Missing open guys and not pulling the trigger on other open plays. The KB screw up was a run pass option and he called pass. Just stupid of Dennison to even give him the option there. How Tyrod can't throw to KB every time he's one on one is beyond me RTB
  6. The NFL decided it was more important to get minority candidates in the coaching/GM interview pipeline despite the "Rooney Rule" stigma that might be attached to them. I'd guess that many of them who benefited from it could give a crap about what other people think, they've probably dealt with a helluva lot more difficult stuff, but I'm just a suburban white guy so really don't know a thing about it. RTB
  7. Perfectly summed up. There is nothing more to add. RTB
  8. Mike never played organized sports but he was always around them as a team manager and play-by-play guy in high school. He was actually a pretty good announcer at that level. I'm not sure if he pursued that later or not and it didn't work out and that's why he went the radio route. He was always a good guy, I don't know if that's changed in the past 25 years. I think his radio persona is just his schtick and from reading the constant moaning on this board about him he has perfected it. It's about ratings, period, and there's no question he still generates buzz in the Buffalo market. He was always a hockey guy which is still pretty obvious. His knowledge of football and the Bills is just enough to keep the masses bitching. I don't think he's a football fan at all. RTB
  9. Stats can be misleading. I'm no QB guru but what I see is a QB who has little anticipation, can't throw receivers open, is consistently innaccurate, and holds the ball way too long. He throws late or behind wide open receivers and his ball placement usually sucks. He obviously can make plays with his feet, is great on the broken play, is well respected and a leader of this team. His lack of turnovers is impressive. He's the best we have right now and McD will ride him until we are eliminated from the playoff hunt. He's reached his ceiling, we know exactly what we are getting with him so keep him around until we drop out of the hunt, then put in Peterman to see what we have and get ready to draft a QB high using our collective picks.
  10. God I love this stuff. Works every time. Bravo sir, bravo. RTB
  11. I just wanted to add my name to this thread so when it gets added to the Most Assinine Thread hall of fame I can say I was a part of it. RTB
  12. I don't care what anyone says, this team (Bills) was 90% likely to end up in another city until Pegs showed up. I'm currently in a marina in Block Island, RI. A guy noticed the name of my boat and asked if I'm from Buffalo. I said yes and he turns his cap around and it's a friggin Bills cap. We proceed to have a great convo for 30 minutes about Buffalo and the Bills and introduce our families. This happen all the time and it's more than just a team, it's a connection and a way of life. This doesn't happen if it's the Toronto or LA Bills because I wouldn't care or follow them if they were someplace else. For that reason, Pegs gets an A+ in my book. I think they are on the right track with both franchises but my Bills are still in Buffalo for the long term and that means more to me then wins and losses.
  13. When had anyone said Williams was overrated? He's about the only guy that doesn't get crapped on here
  14. I have been a big proponent of the scorched earth method since Pegula bought the team. I think he should have cleaned house year one but whatever. The stench of losing and mediocrity has permeated One Bills Drive for way too long. Finally we have a GM and coach who recognize the cancer that has spread in this organization and are cutting it out. I just wish they could fire Brandon and Overdouche and I don't care how much a marketing genius one guy is or cap wizard the other guy is supposed to be. They are part of the problem and if that means getting rid of injured wide outs or 3rd string LBs or backup RBs who have been tainted by the stench so be it. I'll judge them after next year when they have had another full draft and off season to build instead of needing to fumigate the building. RTB
  15. Don't worry about Boldin. It's preseason, McD appropriately wanted to see what he could do outside. The answer is absolutely nothing, and you won't see him again out there. RTB
  16. I can't believe so many people losing their $hit over Tyrod's poor performance last night. He's our starter this year, there is no one out there better who is available to us. Beane is positioning us to make a run next year at a franchise QB. Why is this so hard for people to understand and we have to have 73 threads on it?? If he sucks, Peterman will get a chance and we can evaluate him a bit. Jesus, it's not rocket surgery people. RTB
  17. I was happy with the Whaley hire originally but firmly believed Pegs should have cleaned house from the beginning. Now those asswipes Brandon and Overdorf need to go. Overdorf clearly sucks, and I don't care how good of a marketing man Brandon is. They are both a big part of the culture of mediocrity and stench of losing that permeates 1BD. Those two are the last skid marks left in an organization that has sucked for far too long. The fans who have supported this abomination deserve better and it's time to bring on the bleach and wipe the stains clean.
  18. Interesting topic which I happen to know a bit about. Here's a fun fact - the US Dept. of Health put a ban on any funding for HGH/Testosterone replacement in men. The reason? The early studies showed large improvements in quality of life factors (energy, libido, lean mass gain, fat loss, etc) with minimal side effects if taken in a reasonable dose. The only reason Medicare covered estrogen replacement in women was for quality of life reasons. The government realized real quick that if Medicare had to cover HGH/Testosterone for all men who wanted it for quality of life reasons the costs would be astronomical so they buried it. Look up the NEJM articles on testosterone replacement in men from the mid 90's. There are a few studies out there that were well done and showed very good results. RTB
  19. I think I'm at the point where I'd like every member of the front office who's been associated with 17 years of pathetc to mediocre Bills football eliminated from the organization. Brandon, Overdorf, Whaley, secretaries, ball boy, towel jockey, all of them. I'm ready for a complete overhaul top to bottom because the losing stink that permeates our club is not going away without a full fumigation. Yes I know that means another few years without the playoffs but this constant 8-8 bullcrap just isn't going to fly anymore and all these asswipes are responsible. Clean house Pegs and start fresh! RTB
  20. The comment was stupid and so was the expected over reaction to it
  21. Guys were open. Tyrod just can't see them. RTB
  22. Sarcasm right? The first thing he should do is get on the Pats* protocol of hgh/testosterone and he will heal much faster. I'm serious. As for JJ, tremendous player and a tremendous douche. I'm disappointed we won't see some great individual play but I'll especially miss his awkward humble brags. RTB
  23. Maybe our players are just too fukin stupid to run Rex's D. I'm not arguing the D shouldn't have been adjusted to fit the players we have, but maybe you have to install it first to see who has the mental capacity to thrive in it. RTB
  24. This is a completely ignorant statement. Low dose HGH in men has many beneficial effects including significantly improved recovery from injury, improved lean mass to body fat ratio, and will potentiate the effects of low dose testosterone replacement. Like any substance, it can be abused and have negative effects if it is. The few studies out there (because there is active suppression of these studies by the government) show a tremendous improvement in quality of life indicators with near zero negative effects. Not cancer, not stokes, not heart attacks. Why does the government actively suppress this research? It's simple. The only reason women were on estrogen replacement during menopause which Medicare paid for was because of quality of life reasons. If every guy was on HGH/testosterone for quality of life reasons, Medicare would go bankrupt. Where estrogen replacement showed some increase in certain cancers, there is no such increase with HGH/testosterone.
  25. We are worse than last year in Defense and Special Teams, Offense is a little better
