Well that was an underwhelming start by the offense. Lets go D!

One nice thing about preseason games - I can watch Bills football without being a nervous wreck... lol Go Bills!

As expected. Mccarron ran with the 1’s all week. Itll be Mccarron, Allen, Peterman tonight. I don’t fully agree with peterman running with the 3’s, since I thought he played excellent last week and did nothing to lose ground in the QB competition. But I get it. They know what he can do and want to see Allen with some decent talent around him to properly evaluate where he’s at. Next week will be much more telling IMO because it’ll likely be our regular season starter with the 1’s. I still think it’s AJ or Nate. AJ can probably seal it tonight. I said last week when Nate got the start in front of AJ (who had been running with the 1’s for a few days in a row at the time) so they could start AJ 2 weeks in a row (since week 3 is usually a regular season dress rehearsal) to help him build chemistry with the 1st team offense.

Why does that automatically mean that McCoy sent and/or paid them? Why is that the only possible explanation? What if the girl was bragging about how much this jewelry was worth to the wrong person, or the wrong person overheard her talking about it and they decided to rob her? What if it was one of her own friends or acquaintances who set her up? What if it was just a random robbery and she is lying about what this robber said in order to try and capatilize monetarily on this situation? What if if one of mccoy’s acquaintances knew about the jewelry and set up this robbery without McCoy having any knowledge of it? I mean, guys buy jewelry for girls all the time and if they break up, many times want that jewelry back. That is pretty standard stuff. It in no way automatically means McCoy set her up. He may or may not have. We simply do not know. But as of now there seems to be little to no proof that he did, otherwise he’d have been charged already.

Wft?

So, does that mean you two are engaged now? I say yes, it does. lol

I honestly haven’t given any serious consideration to the possibility of Khalil Mack being traded to buffalo. I still think he ends up staying in Oakland. I read that he has no interest in a trade, and that Reggie McKenzie has no interest in trading him. McKenzie and Mark Davis supposedly love Mack. The only way I see it happening is if Gruden decides it’s just not worth the price and he’s rather dump the money into his baby (offense). But I think they will ultimately work something out. Even if if he is traded, I dont know that Buffalo is the landing spot. There are other teams that make more sense IMO. Plus, I don’t know that Beane would be willing to give up what it would take. He is all about building this team “the right way” - slowly through the draft. I think he also most likely feels that we are not a Khalil Mack away from a championship. There is a whole lot of work left to do before Buffalo is a true contender. I’m not sure that he will see trading away a bunch of draft capital and dedicating a huge chunk of cap space to Mack as the right move at this time. Were we further along in the rebuild, I’d feel differently about our chances. But as of now we don’t even have an established QB. My guess is that Beane will make surrounding Allen with more talent his priority. After all, that pick will go a long way towards making his career as a GM. If Allen does well, Beane looks brilliant. A great defense probably does less for his staying power as a GM than if Allen is successful. I don’t think Allen’s success or failure will break his career or anything, but it sure can make it. Im all in though if Beane decides he wants to trade for Mack! I would be beyond excited. But I’m not going to set myself up for disappointment.

Can you watch the video of it that 26cornerblitz or Chandler#81 posted in this thread? They are posted on page 2. All I can hear is sound when I watch them. No video. I had no issue watching it on Facebook. I just can’t watch the videos in this thread (or any other thread here) that are embedded directly from the Bills website.

Thank you! I really appreciate the help.

Thanks. Yeah I’m sure that’s most likely it. I love apple, and I hate it at the same time! lol I need to upgrade my home computer so I have a good windows based platform to use again. I maybe a much better understanding of how PC works compared to Mac. I am relatively new to Mac products (my iPad being the only Mac prospect I’ve ever really owned)

Very true. lol. except for some reason the videos in this thread won’t play for me. All I hear is sound with a black screen. But for some reason that happens for me with all the videos that are embedded here directly from the Bills site. I am on an iPad though, so maybe that’s why? Maybe it’s just my operating system (IOS) or safari web browser that apple uses or that it’s a mobile platform, idk. I wish I could figure out why they won’t play for me though, because you post some really cool videos/press conferences from the Bills site quite frequently and I have to go hunting through the video section of their webpage (which is a mess IMO) and usually can’t find it there (because of said mess), so then I hunt through their twitter timeline until I find it... lol.

You don’t need Facebook to find/watch it. Just google “Buffalo Bills embedded” and it’ll show up on their Facebook page. You can watch it without signing in though.

Lol I had the same thought. He knows Blake “I love to throw multiple interceptions every game” Bortles is his QB, right?

I don’t understand why so many are this worked up over what Ramsey said. Calling him trash rash was taking it too far, but otherwise his opinion (on JA’s performance against big schools) was one that was WIDELY shared on these boards pre-draft. How can i slam him for an opinion I shared myself? Especially when Josh hasn’t played any real games yet to change people’s minds? My my opinion has slowly changed since we drafted him. But I don’t expect people outside of buffalo to change their opinion unti” he proves them wrong. edit - also wanted to say that I’ll never understand those who want violence inflicted on someone for simple trash talking.

Every Wednesday at 8pm a new video will be posted to Facebook.

I remember the crazy amount of effort it seemed like he’d have to put into completing basic short passes. Sometimes you’d see him reset his feet 2-3 times before he would throw the ball to a receiver 10yds away.

Yeah, that happened and I said the same thing myself. It was like they were yelling at him just to yell. Especially when shortly after that they show David Njoku dropping even more passes than Coleman and he never once got chewed out nearly as bad. Half the time the coaches didn’t even say anything to him. But Hue did make him do “30 catches from the jugs machine” after practice... poor guy. lol And not even tough catches. They stood him like 10ft in front of the machine, facing it head on. Didn’t even have him practice catches form different angles or distances. Just the most generic 30 easy catches possible, while the coaches just sat and watched. No coaching. Just watched. lol I am pretty sure they were yelling at him about that specific pass because Coleman even made a comment to Haley afterwards that “no it didn’t (hit him in the chest)” and Haley said something along the lines of how he’s not going to give Coleman the benifit of the doubt. I kind of got the impression that the coaches had their mind made up on Coleman already and there wasn’t much he could do to change it. We only got to see such a small portion of what happened though, so maybe I’m off base.

I noticed (and loved) that, too. I also noticed that Daboll was seated right next to him in every meeting as well. They seem to be glued together at the hip (which is a good thing, IMO).

I think one of my favorite lines (from McD) might have been when he was talking about the intensity in practice lacking on the first day and said “Fix it. Now.”

Man, Sean McDermott is damn impressive. I don’t know how anyone could say otherwise... he is a leader of men. His attention to detail comes through in everything he does. And boy, talk about night and day compared to what I’ve seen on Hard Knocks!

Getting close to show time!

Meh. I was never aboard the EJ hype train. Im not fully on board the Allen hype train yet either. But I do know that I see more potential in him already than I ever seen in EJ. To be clear, I’m not down on him or anything like that. I just need to see more of him before I form a real opinion.

I wasn’t very clear, but I meant if we had kept the 4 picks in the top 31 that we originally had before Tim Murray traded 3 of the 4 picks away. That draft was sooo deep with talent. When you look at the player we could have had at #21, #25 and #31, it could have set the Sabres up for years to come (had they kept & hit on those picks). Imagine if they had picked any of Brock Boeser, Sebastian Aho, Colon White, Jacob Larsson, Travis Konecny, Travis Dermott, Jack Roslovic or even Noah Juulsen, Anthony Beauvillier, Gabriel Carlsson, Nick Merkley, Brandon Carlo. The list of good young players available at those picks is quite long. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_NHL_Entry_Draft The 2015 draft could go down as the deepest/best since the legendary 2003 draft. But who knows, maybe we wouldn’t have Dahlin, or even Mittelstadt right now if they had kept+hit on those 2015 picks, so I guess maybe everything happens for a reason...

Techincally they didn’t do away with the stripe. Hue Jackson had them removed to literally “make the players earn their stripes”. lol What will be interesting to see is if they put the stripes back on the helmet one by one (when they feel a player has legitimately earned it) or all at once (which would make removing them in the first place look like a bigger gimmick than it already does...).

Well, good thing Buffalo already has 3 next year, then! Jason Botterill will look brilliant if this 2019 draft ends up being as deep as 2015 was (assuming he hits on the picks, that is). Ive said it numerous times, but I’ll say it again - that 2015 draft alone could have set Buffalo up for the next 10yrs. So, hopefully, 2019 will give us another chance at that.
