It certainly wasn't a result of anyone from here, I can tell you that.

Baker Mayfield is absolutely perfect for Buffalo and fans will absolutely love his arm, swagger and ability. Until he throws his second interception and/or on the All-22, a TE looks wide open two seconds after Mayfield looks his way.

Yeah, Gecko's wings are horrible.

Cool. It was a pretty good place to eat or drink during the day or night. I would go down to Sarasota once or twice a year for a week or two at a time. Still do. Going between Christmas and New Years this year. My buddy (from Buffalo) has two houses there. One that is less than a mile in the big master planned community on the same North South cross street, Honore maybe, and same side of the street as Gecko's (straight south). I could walk there, and often would. He has a new better one at University Park on the golf course, a short drive down the street from the Casa di Pizza on University Parkway. We also go to eat and drink at Evie's, which has pretty good pizza and decent wings.

She worked the afternoons at Gecko's, I never saw her at night. But she was fun and really cute all around. Yeah, Wings and Weinies was a total dive but I liked it for the greasy hole that it was.

Yep. I tried that Just Pizza a couple times and it just wasn't any good. The people who owned and operated it had a couple in Buffalo, too. That was just weird. There also was a really hot bartender in the bar in that same plaza who was from Buffalo, and right across the street there was a breakfast and lunch place that was owned by a guy from Buffalo that sold Sahlen's hot dogs by the pound so you could cook at home and had a bunch of Buffalo foods on his menu. I heard it closed a few years ago though, maybe around when Just Pizza did.

I lived in Phoenix for 11 years and became a big Suns fan, and was there during the Barkley years, which were enormously fun. And my best friend had floor seats, under the basket, about 15-20 feet from the opposing team's bench, so if the guys on the end of the bench were just talking normally you could hear them. And I never had to pay. You could even talk to the refs and they would hear you. Saw dozens and dozens of games there. Over a hundred counting before he got the floor seats and the ones he had were 12 rows up about the foul line. So that was as sweet a deal as you could get.

I could try. Whaddya need?

Casa di Pizza was good because it was a triple threat. Had good pizza, good wings and good subs. They made a good royal sub and some super sub that had mile high meats, not to mention (on Elmwood) a full sports bar attached to it. Wasn't the very best of any of the three but one could pig out on a lot of stuff. A lot of them have all three but are pretty weak on one or more.

Most plays Peterman knows where he is going to throw before the ball is snapped. The Bills offense is designed this way, as are most. Peterman knew, and was right, that he was throwing it right all along because of the defensive alignment because there was only one safety deep who was moving and lined up to Peterman's left because of the motion. That left Holmes one on one with no safety help at all. There wouldn't be time for the safety to get over to the fly route. That is what Peterman and every QB would be coached to do. It's blatantly obvious. Peterman looks left a half beat just to make sure the safety doesn't start right earlier, which he is supposed to do. But he's not really even looking because he knows he's immediately going back to the right.

Bill "Earthquake" Enyart was an enourmous fullback the Bills drafted to block for OJ out of Oregon State I think. He was so bad that within one year, Bills fans started calling him "Tremor." True story.

But he didn't. At all. The play was obviously designed to go right as coverage dictated. He even had the quick (weak) fake left because he was always going to throw right. There is no blame whatsoever on Peterman missing Clay on this play who only became open and looked well after Peterman was looking right.

Tyrod haters would have screamed for weeks that Clay was wide open on that play and Taylor missed him even though Peterman had already looked to the other side of the field.

Mayfield has a bunch of character questions. They may or may not be issues. He also has a dad who is a mini LaVar Ball, so that may work against him, too, or be a window into his character. He had a lot of problems with his coach at Texas Tech but he was young. I tend to forgive a lot of that stuff when they are 19 or so.

No one should compare anyone to Wilson. He's an absolute freak of nature. He not only checked every box except height, he was excellent as a prospect in virtually everything else. His senior year he was better than the one overall pick, RGB, who supposedly had one of the greatest seasons in college football history.

Another one bites the dust... and another one gone, and another one gone, another one bites the dust... Warner Bros showrunner of a few hits like The Flash... which I suppose, now becomes a double entendre. https://twitter.com/THR/status/935934022366257152

One can argue either way whether or not what his POV and what his experience has been over his life has anything to do with race. But that's not what we were talking about. It was about whether he "played the race card." He was asked about how his experience has been and he answered honestly what he thought. Others have said similar things. Playing the race card, again, to me at least, and I would imagine most people, is for him to be asked a question about why he thinks he hasn't gotten more credit, and then out of nowhere, said it was because he was black and was treated differently. That's "playing the race card."

The trials started within the year so I am hoping for early fall of next year depending upon petitioning the Hauge.

Read the news article that I referenced above in this thread and you would be shown to be wrong, again, as usual. http://buffalonews.com/2017/11/28/trent-green-on-bills-qb-tyrod-is-who-tyrod-is/

The fact he is doing the same, with less, and no running game, and no deep threat, and lousy playcalling, is actually doing a lot more.

HE didn't make a big deal out of it. At all. In fact he impressed his teammates by not making a big deal out of it and being a total professional. He wrote one tweet. You idjits made the big deal out of it.

So if you were a professional football player like Tyrod and you were benched and humiliated nationally for Nathan friggin' Peterman in a huge game in a playoff hunt, who then played the worst any player has ever played in the history of the league at your very position, you would think, "Oh well, I'm cool with that, I make the same amount of money anyway." Your an idiot.

What does that have to do with anything?

It was a McD ego thing in a different way. He thought that Eric Wood epitomized the player they want to be here. Hard worker. Great guy. Community oriented. Boy scout. Over-achiever. They were going to build a team around guys like this and show others if you act like this we will reward you. He thinks he can win it all with boy scouts. That remains to be seen.

" "(Trent) Green credited Taylor with responding by staying true to himself and by displaying professionalism. "He said, 'The whole thing I've been my entire career is I'm a professional. I'm going to come in and try and approach it the same and be the same every week,'" Green said. It was that professionalism, Green believes, that went a long way toward inspiring other players on the team to play as well as they did to help carry the Bills to victory. "The other players (who also met with CBS' broadcast team) said the amazing thing about it is, you can be divisive and try and divide the locker room, but the impressive thing was (Taylor) didn't change: his demeanor in the locker room, his attitude on the practice field, his attitude in the meetings," Green said. "He still was one of the leaders of the team trying to gather guys up and give motivational talks and try to pep guys up. And I think that that has something to do with how you're all of a sudden able to transition back into being a starter when guys see you handle things a certain way -- not being selfish, being more about the team. "I think that's why the team was able to respond the way it did because they have a lot of respect for the way he handled the whole situation."
