Why hasn't he seen the field? Look at the acumen of their coach. McCarron is definitely worth a look if it's at a reasonable deal. There is a reason why he is appealing to the league to change his status to free agent. Cincy won't let him go. Why is that if he's just another replaceable backup?

Schoop has made perfectly clear his hatred for football. His co host never disagrees with him. They never sound like they're enjoying themselves.....in fact the only time they do is when they have a candy draft.
I can't listen to them anymore and I used to try and tune in. Sometime between Doug Marrone and Rex Ryan and whatever number tank the Sabres are on I stopped listening.
Awful. Buffalo deserves better.
Totally agree. If they had any competition on a station with a good signal, they'd get destroyed. Deregulation sucks. Without being the Bills and Sabres flagship they'd sink in 18 months.

Normally yes. But my wife (the Eagles fan) has a superstition about watching the games. We've been streaming the radio broadcast, and the Eagles have been winning when we listen that way.
Hey, it's only crazy if it doesn't work.
Ah yes, the great Merrill Reese. Terrific broadcast.

The Score. Marlon Brando's last film. Edward Norton is great in it too. Super tight script, fantastic performances, and who doesn't love a great heist movie?

Yes. You are the only one.
I think he is a career backup. Terrible footwork in the pocket, not patient and very rudimentary.
When he played during Daltons injury, only about 1/3 of the play book was open to him because he cannot make all the throws.
Do you think that's from a lack of experience or is he, in baseball terms, a 4A player? Team seems intent on holding onto him. Isn't there some issue as to him being a free agent or restricted? I remember reading he wants to challenge the league on his status. The Browns had a deal in place for him but that's probably not a positive lol.

As a lifetime Bengals fan, I just wanted to stop by and Thank all the Buffalo Bills fans for the grand gestures toward Andy Dalton, Tyler Boyd and the Bengals organization.
Thanks to you, I now have a brand new 2nd favorite team, THE Buffalo Bills...and now I ask that you all bring me up to date on all the traditions, chants, tailgating and all things Bills.
I am going to get some of my Bengal friends to join me to come tailgate and attend a Bills home game next year and hopefully get to indulge ourselves in the Bills fan experience.
Once again, THANK YOU ALL for showing that there is still good will in the NFL, and proving the the Buffalo Bills fan base is certainly the class act of the entire league.
WHODEY!
What your opinion on AJ McCarron? I'm the only one here who thinks he'd be great in Buffalo.
-
Sorry about your loss. God bless.
-
Good God. It's awesome to be in the playoffs but nobody needs to hear this. Awful.
-
No comparison. I remember walking around the upper deck during the 2nd half of the Raiders game. Strangers were hugging saying "I don't believe it, we're going to the Super Bowl." Sunday was epic. That day in OP was once in a lifetime.

He just wants to be a "Homer" to PSE and WGR (whomever his actually signs his paychecks) by not prompting a warning letter from the league. His shtick is to be pro Bills and not say anything even remotely controversial....
With that being said he is most definitely one of the BEST play by play guys I have ever heard, and VERY even keel on his analysis (not afraid to call out the Bills when they stink up the joint). I understand he is also very well respected in league circles FWIW
No offense, and I like Murph, but one of the best play by play guys in the league? Not even close. Listen to Greg Papa of the Raiders or Brad Schamm of the Cowboys. They're both in a different league than Murph.

It was so bad, my girlfriend, who really could not care less asked me to turn on the radio lol.

San Francisco. I felt the energy of the place on the plane as it left Philly. I literally had to pull over a few times driving in awe. Passed through several times. Between the beauty and the really cool people, it felt like home.

They'll get another shot at Gronk in a few weeks. We'll see what happens.

Not to forget the missed tackles in that 8 minute drive in the 4th quarter.
Jesus. I know. What a nightmare. OJ Anderson was 87 years old. The blame is on the D. Amongst other things.

When I look back at Super Bowl 25, wide right does stand out. However, I remember, just as vividly, a play in the 2nd quarter. The Bills had just gone up 12-3 on a safety. On the first play of their next possession after the free kick, Kelly threw a perfect pass to Reed, which he dropped. Had he held onto that ball, it would have been a big play 32 yard completion and a 1st and 10 at the Giant's 38 yard line. Kelly followed up on the next play by missing a wide open McKeller, which would have been a 10 yard completion and 1st down. The Bills go 3 and out and the Giants score on their next possession to make it 12-10 at the half. I have always felt that the Bill's had all the momentum after the safety and, had Reed held onto that catch, might have scored again to go up 19-3 - taking the Giants out of their running game. It is just a feeling and, in reality, it might have made no difference at all - but that play has stayed with me every bit as much as the missed field goal.
It funny. I rewatched this game in August. After all these years I viewed it in a detached way. Just as a football game. Those two plays you referenced really stood out. Along with the drive before when Reed dropped a ball over the middle wide open on 3rd and 1. They had no answer for Thurman on those 1st half drives. He was ripping off yards in chunks. They got away from him and then ran out of possessions. Ah, memories.

Lol. This speaks to so many things, I don't know where to begin.

Pay AJ McCarron. Use the picks on other positions.
-
Remember what team we are dealing with here. When the Bills officially clinch a spot then we can talk matchups. Until then.......

RIP Gordon. Thanks for the music.

Pats broadcast was way better when Gil Santos was doing the call.
Best now is the Raiders Greg Papa. He's not afraid to call them out when they're playing poorly. He roasted Cooper during the Broncos game lol.
-
I knew he came back for a few games last season and I thought things were looking up. This sucks. He was a total pro and pulled off something really difficult. Being unassuming yet giving it a big game feel. RIP.
-
He might be dead...
Maybe. That was vicious.
-
Eh.
Murph tries.
Lol. So true.

When China went Communist in 1949 the Democrats got beat up for it and lost the presidency for first time in twenty years. Then Cuba went Communist and Kennedy jumped all over that and won in 1960. The last dominio in the domino theory was the presidency. Both JFK and LBJ knew it was a quagmire to get in. Kennedy getting assassiinated may well have condemned many Americans and Vietnamese to death. Had Kennedy won in 64 he might not have the incentive to send 500,000 ground troops to Vietnam the way LBJ did who was looking forward to '68. No president wanted that image on tv of American helicopters leaving Nam as losers.
Here is an interesting phone conversation with LBJ and Senator Russel:

Fascinating piece of history. LBJ sounds totally lost.
Why not make a play for AJ McCarron?

Completely agree. Anyone who thinks he's just another backup might as well leave their head in the sand.
