Well, I'll be vaping and watching "News 8 Sports: The Buffalo Bills are going to the Playoffs" on youtube, making it just another Friday night at my house.

Don't forget that he 'doesn't fit the culture' and 'isn't McDermott's kind of guy', from guys not in the culture not named McDermott.

Agreed 100%. I like the regularity of 1pm starts and if I'm gonna lose a nighy and a morning to a primetime game, I'd rather it's Mondya than Sunday or (ugh) Thursday. Kind of weird how we don't play a division game until week 8 tho....I guess that's good? 2 days of "work", such as it is. Wait two days?

Honestly, lame as this may be, right now it's Andy Dalton getting us into the playoffs. My sons are 10 and 6. I have been married to my wife for 12 years. They are all good Bills fans who had NEVER seen ANY real success, ANYTHING that meant a damn thing at the end of the day. But they keep the faith. Well, I got a ton of joy from my family losing our collective minds (including my mother in law, who decided just this year to start watching games with us) when Andy Dalton hit that TD pass. (My ten year old isn't really a sports guy though, and when we lost to the Jags, he cried. I was really surprised because he's never cared THAT much. I said to my wife, man this really upset him, I didn't think he cared this much. She said, he's upset because he wanted you to be as happy as you were last week when we won. Damn son. Damn. )

What no oil derrick logo? Tradition evolved my @$$.

Well now I can just put it out of my mind completely. Not only does it SEEM far fetched, it IS far fetched. Far-fetched-ness confirmed, moving on...

It seems far fetched but I keep coming back to this. They get their "Saquon" in Lesean, albeit having to pay a bigger contract, AND Pick up a bunch of picks. Makes moving back out of the top 10 more palatable IMO. You've obviously got the Gettleman/Beane Connection, as well as Shurmur being the OC for 2 years while Lesean was there. It almost makes...sense.

not mine but man I am saving up!

I don't know that having huge coaching and training staff actually leads to wins or success...but the one time I saw an article on it many years back, we were ahead of only team so far as total # of coaches/trainers, the Bengals. Whose owner is not generally known for his freespendin' ways. I got the general feeling anywhere he could be cheap in regards to the team, he was. In the end I choose to look back at the good (the team is still in Buffalo) because the rest doesn't matter any more.

yeah maybe I have been convinced by posts on here. Have read a lot of that logic. Can't say the comparisons to 2004 didn't' help that either (that is, the next level down won't be nearly as good). I hate to admit it....part of it is also me being a jelly lil biotch, wanting to leapfrog the jets and stick it to them. God I hate the jets.

I'm with it until the ellipsis! I've gone from not wanting to trade up to being willing to give up the farm. Not sure why.

Wow. All I can come up with. Wow.

If they miss out on their young QB....why WOULDN'T they want AJ to start? Kind of an odd "win-win" scenario if he does...we either stink and draft high next year, or he turns out to be a player we can build around. I think there is much more reason to believe Foles would make us an average 7-9 to 9-7 team again...which obviously sucks for the draft. And he isn't a franchise guy (if Beane thought he was, i think we'd have him already). Wouldn't make any sense to me Shaw.

Assuming the Giants want anything but a QB....If I was the Jets I'd just call the Giants and tell them "if anyone calls you for #2, we'll pay you X for you to move ONE spot back with us and we'll promise not to take the guy you want" Hell I might do that NOW if I was the Jets. I can't see the Giants going back to 12. I can see them flopping with the Jets.

Boy i don't think it is a mistake, though I did at first....now they can just say to the Giants....if anyone calls you to get #2, call us, we'll give you something decent to move back only one spot AND guarantee they won't take whomever the Giants want. Basically the Jets can rooster block us very easily from #3. Sure they have to give up even more but if they think anyone might leapfrog them to their guy, why wouldn't they? (If Giants go QB I'm all wrong but I am banking on them taking Saquon in this scenario)

Whelp....I hate this. I really hope we don't let the Giants raid our cupboard to get ahead of the Jets. Be super interesting to see how things go now.

I dunno.....Bruschi seems to be trying to read more into Rosen's head than anything else. That said, yes, he's an idiot. BTW ESPN just gave him another "hit" on the "hit" counter. A counter which only ever existed for Teddy Bruschi.

Agreed. The culture of a locker room or a workplace i think McDermott values is working toward one goal as a unit and buying into your coach and his vision. I think you can be a part of that 'culture' no matter what actual culture you come from.

I've got so far to go. I wish I could trade in my BBMB post count like tickets at an arcade. Can't I get something for them? A little comb maybe? A pencil topper?

I mean, I have SO few posts and SO little "rep" (LMAO) you probably shouldn't listen to me, but I have been curious why big news that is confirmed doesn't seem to get stickied? Seems that if they did the people operating in good faith would at least have a chance to see the news they were already beaten to the punch/post on. Might cut down on multiples. No? or do stickies just take a while?

I saw what Keenum got (granted for playing very well) and my head hurt for a minute.

Could be, I wonder about that tweet (by Sal C maybe, not sure) who said they didn't really go after any other FA qbs. made me wonder if all we did was call once on Sam and go, oh you want how much?...no thanks!!!

Agreed again. Held their cards close, didn't panic. Probably got a better deal on the guy they wanted all along because of it.

Excellent.

Ugh. My mama told me, you better shop around.
