  1. Sounds like Jason Peters to me. LOL.
  2. I'm interested in who you want Beane to sign with the available FAs. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/all/tackle/all/
  3. In the three-lockbox are Diggs, Davis, Harty and Sherfield. It then gets a little stickier. A lot of different ways they can go with the remaining 2 slots when you try to blend the WR attributes with ST worth. I like what each of the others bring to the table so it will have to be left to the guys getting paid to make the decision.
  4. Agree with everything, especially the bolded. It's time to bring in a younger guy. The biggest disappointment in the game was the penalties and mental mistakes. McDermott is the HC and ultimately the buck stops there. However, as you stated, "especially from vets' brings up the question. Who really is to blame? Do these NFL players not know the rules? Do they have to be reminded not to grab jerseys and not move before the ball is snapped? How much of this lack of preparation is on McDermott, and how much is on the position coaches? The player leadership should first look to themselves and then stress to the rest of the team about some personal responsibility. If the leadership sees some issues with any of the staff, they also need to bring it to the surface. My second biggest disappointment was the Special Teams. Once again, McDermott is ultimately responsible but Matt Smiley needs to get these guys playing together. It's only a preseason game and knowing this is a mature veteran team I won't overreact. The vets had one chance to knock of the rust and failed in that attempt. McDermott (and the entire staff) need to get their $%!) together and insist the players follow suit before the Jets game. I would expect a much more somber week of training and more attention being paid to details and less music and dancing. That should come from both McDermott AND the captains.
  5. I watched when you QB'ed the team back in the 60's. That was pretty rough too!
  6. I get a feeling there won't be a lot of music and dancing this week in practice. You can't "prepare" veterans to play without causing penalties. Sean needs to be angry this week.
  7. I'm all in. I'm ordering a pair of "McDermott" glasses!
  8. Dude, come on and have a little class. Using an athlete's injury to make a jab remark?
  9. Thanks. I won't have any regrets putting him on "ignore". LOL.
  10. I hate when the players warm up pre-game. Someone could get hurt. Josh should be in a sleeping pod until game time.
  11. I don't know yet. Just bringing up for others who might be interested. The article says the pricing will be in next week. It sounds like it will work the same way DirecTV student discount worked. quote from article: An official price point for students was not made, but Lessard wrote that details will be announced "within the next week." https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10086321-youtube-confirms-nfl-sunday-ticket-will-have-discounted-student-pricing-tier
  12. NFL Sunday Ticket through YouTube TV will have a Student Discount available next week. I'm eagerly waiting for the cost. I know it will be more than DirecTV so I'm going to guess around $150.00. I got students in the family, so I just might go this route. If anyone else is doing it, please post the details.
  13. He has a void year in his contract so some of the dead cap would carry over next year.
  14. Currently 5 WRs are locks with Shorter as #6. The path for Andy Isabella making the team is for him to look great at KRs AND playing very well at WR. If that happens then Isabella would need to dress on Sundays for his KR spot. That means Shorter would sit often (red shirted). Without a mysterious injury to Shorter to start the season, I see the chances of Isabella making the squad currently as under 50%. Let's keep an eye on him the next 2 weeks (starting in a few hours). OT: I understand Gilliams's usefulness in his past role BUT in my mind, there is a chance he could be cut. Knox has lined up often in the backfield this camp and with the other youngsters having ST skills, I don't have him as a lock. I do think he probably makes the team. Quintin Morris played a lot of ST last year too, so there could be some overlap in skills. I know how much ST's are favored with this staff BUT I can see a chance of one of the big 3 (Gilliam, Matakevich and Neal) being let go. Once again, probably not, but it wouldn't surprise me.
  15. Your 53 is pretty much what I see. Shorter is the only "unknown". Isabella has a chance to take it over in the next 3 weeks but probably not. Kyle Allen will have to play really bad in both the remaining games to get cut. Cam Lewis has a slight chance still but that would mean a Siran Neal cut, and I don't see that happening either. I foolishly threw out my 16 "hopeful" to make it to the PS. Of course, the PS will cycle through others as time goes by.
  16. Come on, what are you doing? Sure, there are homers on this board. There are also trolls. There are all kinds of people with different opinions and agenda's posting all the time. I try to be open to opinions and will admit I "lean" toward be a "homer" fan at times but I try to enjoy this place for what it is. As to all this back and forth on the MLB position. It's could have some real growing pain during the season BUT whoever gets the nod will also have a whole lot of tackles and maybe even do some things that Edmunds didn't do well. Maybe a couple of extra INTs or FFs. If it's Dodson, he might get some sacks and maybe be a little better against the run. Then again, who really knows. These are top notch athletes licking their chops to be given a chance. Nothing will be known until the real bullets fly. Maybe Beane and McDermott will regret their decisions, maybe we will see something better in the long run. It's still 3 and a half weeks away but I'm really looking forward to the season. Hang in there and let everyone be a fan. I try to remind myself of that every time I log on this site. Go Bills.
  17. He has to feed his family. Still think its "not a big deal?"
  18. RJ's final sign-off. It's a celebration.
  19. Thank you, RJ. WE are not worthy! You will always be the voice of the Sabres.
  20. I bolded your statement about no one else being brought in.
  21. Totally agree with your bolded point.
  22. You're a youngster. Like a sophomore when I was a senior. LOL.
