  1. As much as I want to believe that the NFL is above board, the constant ridiculous calls, no calls, and absurd interpretation of play reviews that seem to constantly go in favor of the Patriots does make one wonder. This started with the "tuck rule" call that to my knowledge has never been ex for any other player than Brady. This has got to stop!
  2. I had the opportunity to me him. He was a really good man. Sorry to hear of his passing.
  3. It was a very interesting survey. I am concerned that the Buffalo market will not support PSLs. A stadium renovation would be the only way to avoid PSLs.
  4. You are very well informed. Thank you.
  5. That makes sense. Living in Las Vegas, I do not think I will ever root for the Raiders. The Rams would have been more tolerable.
  6. I agree with your point, but the question remains, does the team owners own the Brand, or does the city? This is not an easy issue to navigate. I have read that the city of Oakland does not have a very good chance to win their lawsuit.
  7. Oakland has brought a law suit trying to retain the Raiders name as well. I doubt that Mark Davis would be willing to give up the Raiders brand without a fight. Loosing the Raiders identity would greatly reduce the value of his franchise. It is not that easy to accomplish.
  8. I support this 100%! A more realistic option would be to schedule the Super Bowl on Saturday.
  9. This could take more than one year to accomplish. The recent track record offensive linemen's performance after signing large free agent contacts have not been encouraging. Even if we find free agents, it takes a season at least for the line to gel. I think this will be a two year process, but hope we show significant improvement in oline play in 2019.
  10. With Kyle Williams retirement, we need veteran leadership bring him back for a reasonable one year contract.
  11. For 2019, a winning record, being in most if not all games, wining the close games that got away from us in 2018, and being serious playoff contenders in week 17 would show real progress. A playoff win would be a nice bonus as well.
  12. For Allen's development, continuity is important. Yes, keep Dabol.
  13. Does that mean Peterson will be the Birmingham starting qb in their first season? That may look better to nate than the Raiders practice squad.
  14. I would say center and left guard our positions that need to be addressed in free agency with veteran upgrades. The draft could help round out our depth along with no drafted free agents.
  15. You showed insight that many of us lacked on draft day. I was one of those that were expecting to hear "Rosen" after hearing Josh. I was holding my head and saying 'nooooooooooo! I could not have been more wrong. Allen has not only off the charts physical skills, he has the intangibles to be a leader of men and a winner in the NFL. He has already shown the ability to make other players around him better. I am extremely optimistic about the future of this franchise with Allen leading our team back to the glory days!!!
  16. Brown doesn't seem like the 'team first" kind of player that this administration is looking for. I just don't see this happening.
  17. I would love to draft linebacker/edge rusher Josh allen, but I doubt he wil be available at(. I wouild not want to move up to draft him either.
  18. I haven't seen it mentioned, but Allen's completion percentage vs the Dolphins was over 65%!
  19. Not weird at all. The expectations were very low this year. 6 wins over achieved. With a few breaks, we could have been 8-8. This is a great way to end the season. Congratulations to Josh and the Bills. It feels really good to have a reason to be optimistic for the 2019 season. Now let's nail free agency and the draft. Go Bills!
  20. Will he be available at 9? Some are saying he could be the #1 overall pick.
  21. I would love to see us draft edge rusher Josh Allen from Kentucky. But he will most likely be gone before #9.
  22. It's an emotional tie to the team. My family had season tickets since Rich stadium opened in 1973. My wife and I moved to Las Vegas in 2001. I kept the season tickets until 2011 when I could no longer sell them. I believe I am as much of a fan now as I was when we were season ticket holders. Fandom is not measured by $$$. It is what is in your heart. If you die a little every time the bills loose and your week is a little better whenever they win, you are a true fan.
  23. Agreed. You wait so long for the season to begin and it is over in a blink of an eye. This could be an exciting off season though. Especially if we are active in free agency. Let's hope.
  24. Why is the fact that 2018 is a transition year lost on the "sky is falling, fire everyone" posters? The struggles we have experienced were expected. Let's wait until this time next year to tear down this regime.
