Regarding the Jets: Yes, they are a terrible team, and yes, they are tanking their season. But, the players on that lousy team showed up to play IMO. The players weren't, as some have suggested, trying to lose.

I took him to mean, "here, here!" while frantically pointing to a part of his anatomy.

Specifically, I was referring to dropped passes, as a statistic, generally defined as the number of times an intended receiver touches the ball but fails to catch it. I see this happening a lot this season.

Well... as always, I appreciate your optimism. But, our #1WR (Mathews) is brand new to the team, our #2 (Jones) is a rookie, Tate is our KR/PR, and won't likely see very many offensive snaps, Holmes has been, by all accounts, piss-poor in TC, and who the hell is Kaelin Clay? Yikes! Is there a less inspiring WR room in the league?

This is all well, and good. But, I'm not sure there is a more pedestrian WR corp in the league. They haven't exactly set TT up for success in that regard-- at least looking at it from the outside. I predict a lot of dropped balls this season.

Liver damage by week 10.

I've made the point previously (and been flamed for it) that Tyrod's mobility, as well as his tendency to stretch out the pocket, takes pressure off the left side. Subsequently, with Glenn, Cog, Wood on the left, opposing defenses rarely attack on the left, making Mills' job that much harder. I agree that Mills is better than given credit, and so, apparently, does McD.

I thought the way Rex developed Darby was one of the few things he did right. To not understand why we traded Ragland means he either isn't paying attention to the scheme change, or he doesn't understand the scheme change, or he doesn't understand Ragland's strengths, and weaknesses. Or he's trolling. Who knows? A pretty bad look, in any event, for an ESPN analyst.

who would be our QB? Fitz?

I think he jumped off the Jets bandwagon when the wheels fell off, then climbed onto the Pats* wagon.

We don't need to suck. We're the Bills.

I agree. Duke made some really dumb mistakes, as I recall. Always liked Rambo. Kinda sorry to see Metz go. PS candidate?

I don't think there will be any surprise cuts. Unless, people think someone like Ducasse would be a surprise.

Landry was one of my favorite non-Bill players until he effectively ended Aaron Williams' career. He's a lot of fun to watch. I wonder how well he'd go over in the locker room, given the history.

Fewer dropped balls for the Pats* this year?

I hate it when people just lie on this site. You obviously didn't check Amazon, or you would have found this: https://www.amazon.com/Football-Quarterbacks-Collection-Set-Including/dp/B01KN2VS1E/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1503119330&sr=8-3&keywords=Stud+QB But, by all means, it you want to keep peddling your anti-Amazon agenda, be my guest.

MISLEADING THRED TITLE

IM THINKING ABOUT DOING ALL MY POSTS IN ALL CAPS WITH LITTLE NO PUNCTUATION AND REALLY BAD SPELLING UNTILL THE REG SEASON STARTS I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD IT WOULD BE A RELLY GOOD LOOK FOR THIS SITE

If that method of agenda peddling isn't against the Stadium Wall T&C, it should be.

Can't argue with this. I agree with the sentiment completely. Personally, I have been coming to this board for years, mostly reading, occasionally posting, to learn about football, and the Bills. But, it's getting harder to sift through the endless, and I'll have to say, childish, back-and-forths of internet snarkiness, and cliched insult. I think it's important to ignore some posters, and Crusher would certainly fall into that category.

Stevie Johnson OK, I'm just trolling, here...

Born and raised in Rochester, but have been living in Los Angeles since '91. Last season, when the Rams moved to LA, I thought that maybe they could be my secondary team, and I could become a Rams fan, as well as a Bills fan. I tried. I really did. But, it just didn't work. I was so looking forward to a healthy Watkins, and a repaired defense. Oh, well... I'm still looking forward to Streater. I'm waiting to see if Daikiel Shorts continues to impress, and makes a spot for himself on this team. I'm wondering if McD sees Trae Elston as potential starting material. He impressed the hell out of me on Thursday. Watkins isn't the first player that I have been pissed was cut, and he won't be the last. And, if I end up hating McD, he won't be the first HC I've hated. I wanted to throw Dick Jauron into the Niagara River-- above the falls, of course. There are threads like this every season. My one, and only warning point was from a response to a thread like this. That thread sucked, and so does this one. Bills forever.

A 24-year-old elite wide receiver?

I wouldn't call the LA Times fake news. It's a legit newspaper. But, local newspapers write puff pieces on their players all the time. Buffalo is no exception. Los Angeles would love for Goff to reach his draft expectations, and the LA Times reflects that. Is The Buffalo News a legit source on the Bills? To a degree. But, they're biased towards their team, just like we all are. The Rams have the distinction that they are trying to find their identity, and the biases that the local media have will reflect that, as well.

I live in Los Angeles, and I would say, "all of the above." LA was starving for a football team. I know people who are LA natives who were fans of various other teams- Cowboys, Titans, and Chiefs, for example. I have no idea why they chose those teams to be fans of. But, they all became Rams fans when they moved back here. The Chargers' arrival has thrown a wrench in that, I think. But, these are all people who follow football. It's a fan base that is still developing, and I can say that this signing gives them a bit of a shot in the arm.
