  1. Nailed that extra point real good though
  2. Let’s keep it rolling, the Sunday routine seems to be working so far: -coffee, black, Jamaican roast - read TBD and listen to WGR while I arise -mow the lawn, other small chores -prep some food (I’m making potato skins today) -a little work to make tomorrow easier -crack a cold one -beat the Titans -take over the world
  3. Exactly at 11:30 Always 1 and a half hours before kickoff
  4. Still think it’s Webb. But it if it is Duke, he’ll 100% be active
  5. Damn i always forget the work that goes into scouting. We’ll out here in the thick of the season and it hadnt even crossed my mind that gms are out and about collecting intel.
  6. Is it? Gardner Minshew, Kyle Allen, Mason Rudoloh, Daniel Jones, all guys who started the year as back ups and have come in to play well. This isn't Brady we're possibly playing without. Modern NFL offenses are capable of designing and incorporating schemes and plays to maximize the strengths of their players. As of now, I don't see this team missing much of a beat without Allen. There are other correctable issues this team could benefit from that would vastly improve their chances at victory that has nothing to do with who is under center.
  7. Being new to the Bills doesnt mean they're new to football. I get the need to "gel" with your unit to be as effective as we'd like to see them, but some of the mistakes that are hurting them are basics. P.s.I know I'm being critical but it's be opinion that a fan is afforded that choice. Its okay to want and hope and expect better for your team
  8. Yes for sure. Although we’ve put in many new pieces, it seems like they’re yet to click. I find it extremely frustrating that our defense can be so buttoned up and sound, while the offense burns times outs, lines up wrong and takes unnecessary penalties all while we can’t stop killing our selves with correctable mistakes on ST. McDermott’s attention to detail on defense is clearly evident. They are a thorough and cohesive unit. They always seem well prepared in 2019. It seems unusual that he’d allow such careless mistakes to hurt their team in the other phases. Maybe this is talent related, or possibly experience and/or coaching. Either way, I hope he gets them cleaned up. I'm not asking for 35 points every game, but at least give us a chance to be competitive by limiting those avoidable mistakes. You didn't. The other poster that I quoted in my initial post that you responded to projected at 24-21 loss to TEN despite an offensive effort that exceeds expectations. I was trying to explain that I didn't think 21 points should be considered exceeding expectations.
  9. I get that, I don’t gamble either because im broke. That being said, half the teams in the league average over 21pts a game. We haven’t. So if we go from averaging 16 points to 21 points, I don’t think that meets my expectations from a fans perspective, especially if the lose (like the scenario I was responding to). lots of factors is correct. Like last weeks Bucs/Rams game. Did you see that? Blown coverages, big touch downs, things like that happen, and yet we still average 19 points. We’ve been beaten down and numbed into suffering through such terrible offense the past couple years that we see a 21 point game as a victory for the offense even despite a team loss lol This is all hypotheticals obviously and maybe I’m just rambling but I’m tired of being okay with average just because our past has been so awful. Then we start blaming the one phase of the game that’s been fantastic. Great info here. No doubt they have room for growth and most of it rests on Allen. Again though, you’re speaking in averages. So to say a 21 point game is a valiant effort would actually be an average performance by that metric (regarding the post I responded to earlier).
  10. My expectation is that an offense scores more than 21 points in the modern NFL, regardless of the team’s history. We need to stop comparing our current team to the previous Buffalo Bills seasons and start comparing them to the rest of the league. After all, that’s who we are competing against. As as far as Barkley is concerned, I’m not all that convinced their will be a drop off in production from that of Allen.
  11. The offense does its part by scoring 21 points? How low are your expectations?
  12. I think a trade would have broken through the media before the collateral damage release
  13. They do. I’ve often seen 3rd string practice squad QBs on the bench throughout the years (or so I think!)
  14. Agreed. But trades happen every day of the week Mario for Skelton?
  15. Russel hustle bustle man-muscle Wilson Big fan. Plus I got him in fantasy (along with Gurley, KJ Wright and Donte Fowler Jr)
  16. Played Division-III ball for my four years in school. Awesome experience, as everyone there was playing because they loved the game, and had no other motivations. My freshman year was spent as the LS and 3rd string TE. I was thrust into a starting role at TE due to an injury early in my sophomore year and held onto the job through my Senior season, when I was a team captain. I played with a couple of stud players (LB, WR, QB) who had pro-days of sorts and some went on to play elsewhere after graduation (professionally in Germany, indoor, semi-pro). I also played against Ali Marpet. We scrimmaged Hobart before the season started. Well, I didn’t actually play against him given that I was an offensive player, but collectively we did. Kind of a cool thing IMO. I had no shot at football after college, but it was a really great time while it lasted. Met my best friends there that I still have to this day, and made connections with players/coaches that still come in handy every once and a while. Another random factoid for those UB Bull fans out there: I was a member of the team that broke Lance Leipold’s 36-0 win streak with DIII national champions Wisconsin Whitewater. Craziest game I’ve ever been a part of.
  17. Josh’s concussion thread is 40 plus pages. Patrick’s is 2. Imagine how that makes him feel. Come on fellas, sympathy post to boost his morale!
  18. Totally thought that said Gronkowski
