Nice play. The Bills need to roll Allen out more.

Stafford better watch out on that quick pass to Tate. It's gonna get picked off.

Let's hope Benjamin's not on the hands team.

Bills did what they needed to do to win. Don't need a shutout.

Now we know why the Browns drafted Ward instead of Chubb.

Jets are playing Tyrod the same way they did when he was on the Bills. "Beat us with your arm." We all know how that turned out

Anybody who watched the preseason, saw that Baltimore looked like one of the better teams. There defense is legit. So if the pundits are saying that, that's not disrespecting the Bills, they are simply taking note that the Ravens are much improved. Tonight's game against Cinci will be the test, though. Should be a good one.

Very good analysis. For those thinking that this wasn't coach's decision...he said the final decision is his when it comes to who plays. I think it's more like what some other posters have said. He made a decision to start Peterman and develop Josh slowly and it didn't work out. Unfortunately the results were more than losing a game. It was losing in the most embarassing way possible. So...he has to live with that.

If you watched any preseason games, you saw that Baltimore looked like one of the better teams and Detroit looked like one of the worst. Quite honestly I expected N.Y. to win this game...irrespective of the rookie.

Benjamin could be good...but his attitude sucks. Another case of wasted talent. What would the grade school teacher say? Does not try. I agree with the OP...I wouldn't resign him.

With Clay and Vallejo, it's likely they were picked up for their special teams contributions. The Bills have had solid special teams so it doesn't surprise me that other teams have gone after our cuts in this area. As to the O linemen, Dallas is looking for depth with all the injuries that they've had on their oline this preseason. The Bills were hoping each of those guys would make it to their practice squad, but couldn't sneak them through.

That's pretty much what McDermott said in this morning's presser. He said Allen will run the scout team as well as get developmental reps in other parts of the practice. I agree with you that this could be very good for him.

Allen wasn't bad, nor was he good. He's just not ready. Start Peterman. Settle on a starting o line. I think Edmunds played well today.

This is exactly right. Kirwan just said as much on Sirius. Also, you can't talk to a player while he's under contract with another team. So you speak with them during the draft process to garner a feel for the player for if/when they hit free agency.

And you'll sell Philly jerseys to the market in Australia.

After commercial when ESPN was discussing the Bills pick, they all spoke very highly of the Bills draft thus far. They spoke about the type of players the Bills are bringing in and love what McDermott did with an "unmanned" roster a year ago. They expect only more with the players they are drafting. Did anyone catch this?

Mayock says Hurst is off of all boards except one due to his heart condition.

Matt Patricia is trading his entire next year's draft to New England. Rocket science.

Very possible. I don't think it was a team. An agent makes a lot more sense.

I saw that earlier today. I had the same reaction. It's unrealistic, though. I think many of the players they have us taking in the later rounds will be long gone by then. For example, Ragenow could be a late first round pick.

Virgil...you need to edit your first post. You have us picking Leonard twice.

At this juncture, I think anything is possible. Your theory is as valid as anyone else's.

This actually makes a ton of sense.

Great read, BLM! I can certainly relate, growing up in a Catholic home. I also prayed the rosary in my youth and when I was in basic training (AF), my training instructor ordered me to pray the rosary so that it would rain and we wouldn't have to participate in parade the following day. A half hour before parade was to start, it poured. My TI never looked at me the same after that. I don't do the beads anymore. I also can understand your reluctance to simply discard religious artifacts. Weren't we taught it was sacrilegious? I just lost my Mom a couple of months ago. (In fact I just put her Infant of Prague and statue of Mary in a box on the shelf for now, not knowing what I'll do with them.) She really loved football and she and I especially enjoyed watching the college games together. Her favorite team was Notre Dame...no surprise there. RIP to both of our moms. I think McCarron can be good. He certainly was good in college. I'm not ready to dismiss him out of hand just because he hasn't been a starter in this league before. Maybe things are lining up the right way. You just never can tell. So I really appreciate your post...your thoughts...your memories...your hopes. So much shared! It made me laugh out loud. Thank you! I think I needed that today!

I think we do all want more than that. Some on the Board want a specific guy...and will crucify Beane if he doesn't move heaven and earth to get him. It's like others have said, no one knows who the Bills are targeting and we will likely no little more than by the time of the draft. I do believe though that the folks at OBD know a hell of a lot more than any of us on this board know. We just need to trust them to make the best decision.
