Buffalo Boy

The players want their money. The league wants their advertising and TV money. What is the one thing that could make the NFL even more popular than they already are? An American public that is craving ANY escape from the insanity that is this country currently. The viewership would be up across the board.

They did cut Benjamin? That counts for something. Point taken. Still, he needs to catch almost everything. Especially the drive extending catches in big games when it’s crunch time, regardless of the skill required.

Final thought: When is the last time we saw our team, full of players saying and doing the right thing to correct their shortcomings? I see a bunch of self aware future leaders, not BSing or passing the buck but owning their mistakes while trying to correct them. It isn’t always the most talented team that wins but the TEAM team that wins. It has been decades since we have seen this from the Bills.

Good QBs spread the ball based on split second decisions under pressure. These were Josh decisions and correct ones that resulted in excruciating drops in big games. Last year was a learning/ building season. How many complain about not giving players Tre time they need to grow? Until this team stops getting better( which they did last year with a completely retooled O) I will trust the coaches patience.

Between this game and The NE game, they were two of the most crucial, drive stopping drops the whole season! He catches both of them and we possibly win one of these games. For me, even though it was excruciating to watch, it was part of the learning curve for both the player and the team. A year of experience can be an invaluable thing to future SB winner?

This is Great to read. I was under the impression that he was over thinking the catch itself, causing himself to tighten up and muff the easy ones. If he is right about this, then he is set to have an insanely good break out year. This offense with a top level TE added to a legit downfield # 1 receiver? ??????????????? This is what was so consternating: How could he make circus catches and drop give mes?

In terms of continuity of staffs and Quality rosters from the previous season(s). Especially on Offense. We are just be of those teams.

I saw this yesterday somewhere. How does this even work? Teams/staffs that have been together for a while Should have a huge advantage. While I’ll never complain about a SB win, this year would always have a serious asterisk after it for whomever does win.

This!!!! We watched NE and Baltimore do it. The Panthers did it with Olsen and Shockey , Cams rookie year. You want to see Josh excel??? We could accomplish that rare feat of winning the offseason AND regular season. Other than KC, who would have better Offensive weapons? Maybe some comparables but better?

Same stuff they said about Cam , up until NE took him and apparently he is now the “ Second coming”?

A certain someone crowing about canceling flights from China while letting the EU dump into NYC airports..... that was the root cause?

What it takes to finally get rid of two preseason games? ” What is a Global Pandemic” Alex

I just want games!!!! Im guessing well over 90% of us agree on this. IF we actually get a 16 game regular season it will be an epic victory!

I do too. He has a long way to go. In that we are in agreement

Allen is not “ essentially Tyrod”. Different experience level/ years in league. Different offenses. Completely, diametrically opposed MOs for playing the game. TT never saw a check down he didn’t drool over. JA has had to be taught, and is still learning, not to be a hero. That said, I will take a “ Gunslinger” with arm talent over Captain Checkdown 2.0 with wheels every single time. When JA has six years experience , hit me up and then we can compare stats, till then we will have to disagree.?

We would have been 10-6 with 2015 Tyrod last year. TT does NOT have the game against the Cowboys that JA did! TT was terrified to put the ball anywhere near A defender as a general rule. TT isn’t reaching into a pile and pulling the ball out, diving forward and slinging a Cowboy over the LOS. 9-7 at best

Just finished watching this with my son John. We are both also Jonesing for Football. I opined while watching that this had to have been one of KB’s best games. Also noticed the early TD overthrow by Cam looked like JA. Carolina had a great D that was fun to watch and it was even more fun to watch the Pat’s D absolutely whiff on some of the coverages?

I promise you there are already callers in Bahhstin screaming, “ We gave up Taummy for this?” ?

Cam beat us once in an abysmal 9-3 puker showing by a TT Led offense. He is not Brady, and that team is not great.

I said this in the original “Richardson forced to sell the Panthers” thread but apparently saying racial slurs and sexual innuendos and just being generally creepy ( Richardson ) is exponentially worse than frequenting a house of ill repute that enslaved women and forced them into the sex trade. Craft was videotaped getting xxxxxed. WTF?????

Heaven forbid we give young guys the time they need.

I’ve driven Charlotte to Buffalo at least 60 times in the last 22 years. Last time was two weeks ago for a Black Lake Fishing trip( Canada fly-in got cancelled). The tolls didn’t even have people in them at 50% of the ones I passed through. Also, you could just get off in PA and take a back road. I second Don’s opinion that people simply do what they want and screw everyone else. I also don’t think there is ANY way that NFL players aren’t getting let in. I am slowly coming around to this season might actually not happen..... and I HATE the thought?
