    I don’t suspect that it will go anywhere but that’s what I’ve heard from a few people. NO ONE is happy about this around the league.

     

    It does set a bad precedent... guys that don't like the contracts that bind them can act out, get themselves released, and become free agents with no real fallout.  The most talented will always be rewarded.  Diva players everywhere are getting ideas.

     

    If the Raiders had exiled him without releasing him, they would still have to pay him, right?

     

    I hate to see a team take a moral stand with a childish player and be punished for doing so... just glad the Bills didn't find themselves where the Raiders are today.

  2. The Comeback was awesome and I can't think of a win that felt batter... after that pick 6 to start the second half, I really can't tell you why I stayed in front of the television.  So glad I did... that was unbelievable.

     

    row, another game from the 1990 season that made me think the Bills could do anything... the September matchup against Elway and the Broncos.  Three touchdowns in under a minute and a half in the fourth quarter.  It was crazy.

     

    From the standpoint of seeing the Bills click on all cylinders, the 51-3 Championship game against the Raiders.  That game was the best time I've ever had as a fan.

    For me personally, the 2 greatest games would be September 8, 1991, Bills roll over the Steelers 52-34 (not ever even that close), Kelly throws 6 TD’s, 4 of them to Don Beebe

    Oh man, I remember that game too!  Kelly to Beebe was unstoppable.  Good memories!!

    This is why I will never ever predict the Bills to beat NE...

    I'm with you... It just rarely seems that the Bills are in the same league as the Pats.

     

    Allen's first game against Belichick... he gives great QBs fits so I expected him to have fun with the rookie.  I'm sure the defense's job will be to make sure Allen doesn't run.  They have better talent and coaching so not a lot of hope that we win enough matchups to make a difference in this game.

     

    I'm hoping the Bills can get competitive before Brady retires... I've gone from wishing to see the Bills win a Super Bowl before I die to wanting to see them beat Brady in no doubt fashion before he leaves the field.  3-29 (with odds on two more losses every year) is absolutely embarrassing and is a stretch of divisional futility that may stand as an all-time record.

    Barkley didn't do anything that special to win that game...

    That said, Barkley DID hit some key passes EARLY that gave the running game some room, especially that first bomb to Foster.  Maybe not special by NFL standards, but special by the standards I've come to expect from watching our team play.

     

    I'm not an Allen detractor at all... I want the kid to be good and I have my fingers and toes crossed.  I've seen some good things and I've seen some bad things.  I love the way he plays... he has heart and a strong competitive desire (not to be underestimated).  He's tough, has a cannon for an arm, and he can very much extend or break plays with his speed and size.

     

    We definitely need to get Allen PLENTY of help on that side of the ball to improve his development and SOON.  That development is hard to pursue when his receivers are not even close to sure-handed and he's scrambling behind a rotating cast of sub-par linemen.  I don't want him picking up bad habits or "learning how to lose" while we search for the rest of the parts we need on offense. 

     

    Still, hope for the future.

    So much for my Clay bounce back prediction.  Absent almost all game again. 

    And I REALLY want to like Charles Clay.  When the camera is in his face, he's very much a player that you want to pull for... he just hasn't been able to contribute on the field in Buffalo.  He's had what, three years now?  I DREAM of the day we have an impact tight end.

    Special Teams are going to be a major concern going into 2019...

    I keep telling myself that we just don't have the bodies on the team... some of the guys manning our special teams probably shouldn't be playing at this level.  Too much turnover as well... as others have already said, changing placeholders seems to have been a bigger deal than Coach hoped.
