Peterman can float a good ball to the sidelines, which looks good in pre-season play against a vanilla defense. Play a regular season game, against a tricked out D, and Petermen's skills will fade into nothing. Petermen's ceiling against regular season-D's is low. Allen's ceiling is higher.

You can't coach corned beef hash into prime rib. Unless some pretty good OL talent get's cut from other teams next week (very doubtful), it's going to be a disappointing season.

That quote is spot on. I just rewatched quarter 1 of the Cleveland game---Cleveland had their way with the OL, hence McCarron's injury. I shudder to think of what will happen to any QB behind that line for four quarters against a starting NFL defense. One thing is for sure, the Bills should keep 3 QB on the roster & practice squad, they are going to need all 3. I found Andy Benoit's article to be uninformed and excessively negative, with the exception of the OL. 8-8 and I'll recover from that.

Didn't read every post for 10 pages of thread... But you can definitely tell the posters who have dealt with mental health issues, from those lucky enough to have not needed to. I remember a Richie interview with Cowherd. Richie was lucid, coherent and very engaging. Obviously, in hindsight, one of his better days. I thought he had a future in broadcasting. He was that good. Now it's all lost. Very sad.

I call it the Ralph. But Rich Stadium still resonates with me also. I don't remember any controversies from the Rich family--unlike other rich families in WNY.

Home. With the TV sound = off. Radio sound = on (if they are reasonably synced, sometimes the delay is intolerable)

Probably started when the Bills Mafia started a bonfire in their stadium parking lot---then they heckled the fire fighters who responded to put it out. Heckling first responders doing their job is a dick move.

Beane is a witch. With the upcoming surplus of salary cap, he'll get 'er done in some way none of us expect or predict. Pass the popcorn.

That pick was all the Receiver's fault.

But after they've been here, almost no one wants to leave Buffalo.

As many posters have stated: pressure for a new stadium comes from other owners looking to boost revenue. It's not about game day experience or other such tripe, it's about money (mostly from suites). Here's the rub: WNY is a small market and will never rake in the revenue the owners desire--new stadium or not. A palace could be built, and revenue will be flat because WNY just doesn't have the economy or population. So then the question becomes: when will the owners pressure Pegs to move the team to a larger more lucrative market? Will Pegs cave to that pressure to move?

Another reason for optimism: the team President is competent and in control. Way to go K-Pegs!

Nice writeup. I would add the Jim Kelly atoned for his youthful sin of being a dick by returning and becoming the penultimate team player. Could have done without Copyright notice (note: to be legit it has to have a year, as in Copyright 2018). What?? Posted copyrighted material in full on TSW? That's against the TSW terms of service. JK.

Heh. You could take this many ways. I choose to take it as a compliment.

Yuk yuk yuk. Hilarious. You over state Tom's age by 8 years. Obviously, the Bloodies affect your keyboarding. I'll have what you're having 'cept I want Tito's vodka and Clamato.

Thanks OP. That was a good watch. I liked how happy Bruce was through the whole thing. The cameo by Steve Tasker was cool also.

Doesn't pass the whiff test right there. I'm sure the Bills don't bring anyone into a sensitive meeting without a Non-Disclosure Agreement in place.

They were Isotoner gloves. Isotoners give a really snug fit. Try them sometime.

It's free here to Amazon Prime customers. I watched it yesterday. It was very good, in a dark kind of way.

The forum software here stress tests well. Handles a good heavy load.

Well that's a concern. To me, Overdorf is the common denominator in a Bills pattern of excessive contract extensions. The fact that Overdorf is the firewall to an incoming trade contract... no warm and fuzzy.

Related. Warren Buffet, who owns the BN is hiring a company to manage 30 of the newspapers he owns. Warren Buffett Chooses New Path for Newspapers After Lamenting Decline Interestingly, Warren is not subcontracting the management of the BN. That indicates to me that the BN situation is better in comparison to other newspapers. That indicates Warren's confidence in BN management, and Warren Buffett is no idiot.

Implied by the article read as a whole: Sully lost his column because Sully's negative tone did not fit the new business model where most revenue comes from reader subscriptions. The consultants probably made that point very strongly. He was not exactly fired. He just lost his column. Sully is gone by his choice; he accepted the buy out. Admittedly, maybe shaming him into a buyout by killing off his column was the master plan. I wonder what duties they planned for him had he stayed: a new restaurant reviewer? Per the article: the BN was surprised by the number of people taking buy outs. But they stood by their word that buyouts were available to all. Good read from Buffalo Rumbling.

I predict an 8-8 season with no playoffs. QB and WR's are going to be awful. Offsetting that, I think the D is going to be exemplary.

I think I'll pay attention to my kids. I've done that before, it's amazingly fun.
