Have to agree with you on both account Hammersticks. True leaders don't act the way Baker Mayfield did in his post game presser. Maybe, but sometime a d-bag is always a d-bag. As Hammer said, I also think that none of the other rookie QB's would have acted this way. Look at how Allen handled the whole Ramsey calling him "Trash" deal. He came back with, "he's one of the top corners in the league". No trash talk, no disrespecting him, not even after the game. Players like that are leaders.

People need to just stop with the Tyrod threads. He is not a Buffalo Bill anymore. Get over it and move on. There is no "if he was here, would we be...." because he isn't. People just got to live in the past don't they? SMDH

Which is total BS. It's either PI or it isn't i don't care who you are. I'm overstating it but every ref should be lined up and shot. They are totally useless.

Great post!! The Defense has really come together. We will lose a key piece at the end of this year when Kyle retires but I think with all the other pieces in place, they will be okay. I could not imagine what this team would be like if we had decent receivers and Allen never got hurt. KB and Peterman are a joke. Glad to see Peterman got cut yesterday. The offensive line seems to be really start to come together and jell as well. Milano definitely seems to be becoming a stud and Edmunds is already a stud. He is amazing at working laterally on the LOS and shooting into gaps and closing distances with RB's. You are correct. As the OP states he was giving the DL and Star some "love" for an otherwise sorry season with how the offense has been performing. With all the cap space next year, I can see Beane adding a stud WR or two and a few top tiered O-Linemen to give Allen some trustworthy targets. As i states above, KB is a joke, but I will say that Zay Jones seems to have really made the adjustment into the NFL game after the poor showing last year and has got the lights on now as well. Robert Foster seems to be a gamer for sure after the showing he gave last week but I will hold off judgment for sure since we were playing the Jets last week.

So what you're saying is that this team's only issue is QB play at this point? If you truly believe that then i question your ability to understand football. QB play is only a very small part of the issue for this team. Poor O-Line play has been a huge factor in the offenses woes though I will say they played fairly well against the pass yesterday. Not great but very well. There were times where Peterman has a TON of time to through. Which brings us to another issue.... our receivers. We have no number one receiver and frankly they all suck. The Bears played man to man all day because Peterman is no threat with his arm or his legs, and our receivers are so bad they can't get separation. It is the offense as a whole that is the problem. The line is starting to Gel and when Allen is back things will improve....to a point. But with no receivers it will only go so far. This year is a wash so get use to losing. We have 10 picks in next years draft. I expect a run on quality offensive players with a sprinkle of defensive guys to replenish for depth and a big push in FA with all the cap space coming. I don't understand complaining about the loss of Watkins or Glenn either. Watkins was not buying into the "TEAM" or McD's system and did not want to be here. Why would you not trade him? Not to mention what has he done since he left? It's not like he is lighting the NFL on fire with his spectacular play and catches. And as for Glenn, good ridden's. He couldn't even stay on the field because he was always hurt.

The OP might have too but i was talking about Hauschka. LOL!!!

Hahahahahahaha. Someone got into the liquor cabinet didn't they? He went to IR

100% agree. For sure, he doesn't need the money and I would go a step further in saying that if they asked him to, he would probably do it for free if he's not already. Usually, former players like this get a flat rate they are paid and a percentage of what is sold depending on what the proceeds of the sale are going to. I have been lucky enough to meet Jim on several occasions over the years and gotten his Autograph a few of those times. I never once had to pay for the signing. He is a genuine guy who loves Buffalo Bills fans and i would be shocked if he was making any more money that just a sitting fee for doing this.

I don't see how this is an issue. It could be worse, Russ Brandon could be back in charge. Quite frankly we are lucky to have Kim. She is smart, tenacious hard working successful business women. Coaches do not teach player positions they teach schemes. They refine techniques and provide a playbook to learn from. Anderson is there to teach Allen to read what he sees while on the field. To help him pick up the NFL game as a QB quicker. The situation is even more complicated then you make it. As a GM and Coach, they know the fan base does not want to see Peterman start, so they can't do that without upsetting the fan base and possibly the locker room. That said, as previously mentioned, Anderson hobbled off the field at the end of the game. He's already hurting. You can start him next week and risk getting him significantly injured and lose him as an option to back up of who would be starting. If he gets injured and Peterman goes in, who backs up Peterman? At that point no one is left. They have an emergency QB, (forgot who it is) but at that point your completely f'ed anyway. This seems fishy to mean. I know your correct in your statement, but I saw him drop some really well through balls in the past. It make me think that he is phoning in his games when the young guys are playing because he doesn't think we have a chance to win while they play. (just a thought and probably way off but....)

Oh look, ANOTHER sky is falling in Buffalo article. In full disclosure i didn't read the article, but I am so sick of it. He is a rookie, still finding his feet with no Vet support at the position and no supporting cast. His WR's are marginal at best and that's being kind, the O-line is starting to come together but still have stretches of ineptitude. These so called experts are ridiculous. If they are all experts, they should already know all this. Maybe he shouldn't be starting, but guess what, he is the best QB on our roster and the difference between the two isn't even remotely close. These are professional players and coaches, they play to win so they are going to play the best players they have. It's not rocket science to know this. Everyone knew the offence was going to struggle this year. We took to many losses on the Oline and you can't expect a rookie to play well and with confidence behind a struggling line. Especially when he has no receivers that he can count on. The only offensive weapon that he can count on is shady and some of the members of this site are actually saying to trade him. Ummmm YEAH, THAT makes sense!

This, ☝️ 100% this

He's a rookie CBF. That's why we lost. He's going to have his ups and mostly downs this season. I know you're being a bit "tongue and cheek" but it's amazing to me how many people believe that wearing or not wearing a specific jersey, hat, pant, or doing a special dance ritual before a game has anything to do with a team winning or losing a game. We had years and years of mediocrity because no one ever had a "real" plan to build the team until Beane and McD came along. This is our "hump year" once we get through this transition things will get better so keep wearing what ever jersey you want bro.

Awesome! Just awesome. Love it when i see kids getting raised the right way. LOL!!

To each their own as far as people who want to get tattoo's. I have one myself and want to add a couple more, but they are and will be something that speaks to who i am and things that have happened in my life and are important to me. I love my Bills, but they are still only a football team and I would not put a transient player that may or may not be on this team in 5 years on my body. As for the last part of your comment, it speaks more to the quality of your friends than of anything about you. It is unfortunate that you feel that your friends would rip on you for doing something to represent your love of something as the person in this picture has. I will say this about the person in this picture, he certainly isn't the type of person that does anything half way.

As of right now i would say the Fins, but the Jets are going to be very competitive in the next few years.

Personally, i think the NFL has been so watered down by the rules that it's almost to the point that it's unbearable to watch. I know they say they want to make the game safer to play but it's FOOTBALL. it's not a safe game and it's part of the reason they are paid such high salaries for their talents. I would rather they take all these rules that were put in place for "player safety" and just let them play. I was watching last nights game when Rothlesburger was getting taken down just after throwing the ball. The Tampa player (Don't remember who) tried to let up and in mid tackle was already saying sorry to Ben and that he tried to pull out of the tackle. The ref was right there and heard him and still called it roughing the passer. On the replay you could see he was trying to dis-engage from the tackle but it was too late. It wasn't even that hard of a hit and he didn't put his "full weight" on him and it was still called. Utter BS if you ask me.

This is what McD meant when he said the team was young. He is referring to his starting players. which most are on the young side.

I agree, it would be great and he would become our instant #1 receiver with his speed and hands, but they dealt him away because he didn't buy into the system\environment, or at least that was what was said. If that's true, they aren't going to go after him to get him back. Now, if they dealt him last year stricktly for draft capital for the 2018 draft to get Allen, with all the picks and cap space for 2019, maybe it could happen...... Maybe.

Not that it would happen but, the one thing I would say about getting Watkins back would be that with J.A. at the helm and not TT; Watkins would definitely reap the rewards if he stayed healthy. He would be a completely different player than he was before with someone that won't ALWAYS check down to the shorter to intermediate passes. Have to agree with your statement of them practicing the long ball. Allen should chuck that ball to him until he's consistently catching 7 out of 10. I heard Romo make that point as well several times. I have to say that I was not a big fan of Romo while he played...i thought he was a good QB but not great, but I have to say the guy is a fantastic analyst when it comes to calling a game.

Well....You know the saying, never bet more than your able to afford to lose. By the sounds of how your wife is going to react if you lose, it sounds like you made a dumb bet. Especially with the way the spread is at this point. It was at 17 the last time i checked and by Sunday, it may be as high as 20. So unless you got a great line or incredible odds on your 5k i would say start packing your s**t to move into the dog house. LOL!

My favorite play was the one he was sent to the bench.

I remember Ryan! While he was not what i call elite, he was VERY good and yes he was quite athletic for his size. The guy was a monster at 6'7" i think.

My heart aches anytime i hear of the loss of a child. I can't imagine the devastation that they are feeling now and the pain they will have to endure going forward. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Why fire Frasier? It's not a scheme or coaching issue when you defense overall lacks talent. There are a few high performers, but the rest are mediocre at best. When your best defensive linemen is over 30 and ready to retire there isn't a lot to work with. Other than Williams, the line gets hardly any push and can't control; the LOS. How do you expect the LB's and DB to do when the QB has all day to throw and the OL is controlling the LOS. I'm saying it now, firing Frasier is not the answer, and I will go as far as saying firing him would be a huge mistake.

It was too nice a day to spend it inside watching football when i could be on the water. Still listened to some of it simply because I was curious as to how JA would do. Other then that, i was having some fun in the sun on the water. Not bummed about the loss at all here. I am encouraged by JA's second half performance though.
