  1. Sometime things work out for the best, at least for the Bills, not so much for Jax or Marrone. I kind of hate to see coaches like Marrone and Gase get fired. Other teams having crappy coaches is good for us
  2. The Bills fans are the best charity donors in Cincinnati. Just ask Andy Dalton
  3. The Fins have one of the best defenses in the NFL. All they need is average production from the offense to win games. Sound familiar? Same pattern the Bills used the previous 2 years. It seems that Flores is using the same pattern to build the fins that McDermott and Beane used to build the Bills. Of course they took less time since they had a ton of draft pics and cap money to work with this off season. If we rest any starters we lose a low scoring game. Thinking that Barkley can put 10 points against that defense is absurd unless you mean giving 10 points, 7 from the pick 6 and 3 after another int. This game is not going to be a cake walk even with the starters playing. If we do build up a 3 score lead then by all means put in backups, not only to rest the starters but to give the backups valuable game reps while still securing the #2 seed
  4. Also at a Bills game. I think the Patriots IT dept. is not going to like playing us He probably heard from the NFL about that one because of the multi million contract with Microsoft. BTW, I think the Gofundme to buy them a new phone is awesome, especially since the money will (should) end up going to charity
  5. I think I have watched it 50 times so far. It will be interesting to see if ESPN shows it on their MNF pre game show. They have been hyping the Bills and pretty much ignoring the Pats on their MNF promos. I am sure if Chris Berman has any say it will be on. I hope so. That way people will know what the shirt I ordered means.
  6. A lot of "foreign" vehicles are made here in the U.S. I drive a Honda Passport that was built in Alabama using mostly U.S. content. (I have been working for a Honda dealership for over 15 years) It is a world economy. The days of a truly domestic or foreign vehicle are long gone. Still, we keep on hearing about things like this from the Bills Players and fans and it makes some of the Dolphins fans down here jealous
  7. Just ordered mine. I am sure it will get just as many dirty looks as my Bills Mask does at the local Publix here in Ft Lauderdale. Seriously though I have received more positive comments about my Bills mask than negative ones.
  8. So if the Bills win the Super bowl Who will be the first to do some "colorful" editing to the official Super Bowl shirts and send one to Josh Allen
  9. When Josh Allen was first drafted there were a lot of "We drafted the wrong Josh" cries .I watched a lot of the videos about his upbringing and commented "Josh Rosen may be the better quarterback right now, but Josh Allen is the better fit" on a few of these boards. Well, it turned out that not only is he the better fit, He has turned out to be the better Quarterback too. There were 2 of those videos. One sponsored by Hyundai and the other was by CBS. I thought at the time that his blue collar work ethic would fit well with Buffalo. He has far exceeded many of ours including my expectations in both ways. Is there any other QB from that draft class that we would rather have?
  10. This is the most logical thing I have heard about this. Unlike the Pats last week they can not move the game to Monday unless they move Thursday's game to Sunday. Of course they could just make us play on Monday and Thursday and if we don't like it we can forfeit. Despite the fact that the Titans are the ones that broke the rules somehow the NFL will find a way to screw us on this
  11. I just saw that, But I don't think Bears - Colts game will get the coverage that Pats _ Chiefs did. This moves Bills - Raiders as the premium game in that time slot. Most likely here in Florida we will get the bills game.
  12. Does that mean the Bills - Raiders game is the only late game on CBS? The Pats - Chiefs game was scheduled for most of the country except Western and Central NY and Nevada and Southern California that had the Bills - Raiders
  13. WooHoo! I don't have to stream it. Amazing though I can't pick up channel 7 in Miami with my HD antenna, but I can get 29 in West Palm. Looks like good coverage. Two 2-0 teams should be a good game
  14. True. And McDermott has said, at the time they were not ready for a franchise Quarterback.Remember that was a McDermott / Whaley draft. Beane was not here yet. Mahomes joined what was a perfect situation for a rookie QB. Had he been drafted by the Bills at that time the results would probably been more Sam Darnold like or IR than the way Mahomes turned out
  15. One does not get respect, one has to earn it. And he has certainly earned it
  16. I hear there is a severe crow shortage in WNY. Back when Allen was drafted, I kind of kept quiet at first. I was not overly thrilled or upset with the pick. I expected them to pick Rosen.I started doing a little research and a few things stuck out. First raised on a farm. Anyone that knows a farmer knows that they are the hardest workers on the planet. Next was the path he took. Small High School star, no college offers at all busted his ass at Reedley College for a year before getting an offer from Wyoming where he started to show his potential. That blue collar mentality along with the "Chosen Rosen" being uncoachable, made me more comfortable with the long term expectations of the pick. Shortly after the pick, I commented here that While Rosen may have been the better Quarterback at the time, Allen was the better fit with this team and community. But as of now he has greatly exceeded my expectations. Lets see how he does against the Rams, but so far, so good
  17. A T shirt or even better a mask. I would buy one especially if the proceeds went to Covid-19 relief funds. Living here in south Covida AKA Florida where we set Covid-19 death records almost daily, mask wearing in public is mandatory. I spend about 60 hours a week wearing one and I hate it, but understand the importance of it. So even if it wasn't mandatory I would wear it at work for the safety of others. Kudos to McDermott
  18. It is actually a brilliant move. If another team wanted to hire him I believe it would have to be a promotion since league rules do not allow other teams to make a lateral hire from another team's staff. The only way we could lose him is if another team wanted him as head coach now
  19. Sitting here in Fort Lauderdale, got the wings in the fryer a few ice cold Labatt's Blue and maybe a Sahlen's hot dog for later. I am ready!
  20. Good for him. Wish him nothing but the best (except if they play the Bills) Despite his issues, which seem under control, he was a great player during both his stints here. Looks like he just needs the discipline of football to keep his head on straight.
  21. I normally don't sign up for pay for news, but was intrigued enough to give it a try for $24. So far I like it. If I get one good article a month it is worth it for me. The renewal rate shows at $59.99 per year. I will decide next year if it is worth it.
  22. A person that goes to the games dressed up as empty seats
  23. I said right after he was drafted and many posters here were going bonkers that we did not draft Rosen " Right now Rosen may be the better quarterback, but Allen is the better fit" I think there was a quote from him when asked about playing in a small market and he responded that Buffalo would be the biggest city he ever lived in. Watching those videos over and over just reaffirms to me that we got the right Josh.
  24. One thing that I noticed is once a team gives a quarterback the big contract, often, but not always his play regresses a bit. In some cases it is a "I got my money so I don't have to work as hard" mentality. In most of the cases it is that the big contract uses up so much cap space that the teams have to cut back on other positions (offensive line, receivers etc) I have seen many times when a QB, or any other position for that matter gets a huge payday the team does not play as well overall. I think one of the reasons for the Patriots long success with Brady is he has not been one of the top paid quarterbacks despite having by far the best resume. He takes less money so they can build the team around him.
  25. I was at the game, My family had seasons tickets then. The only downside was I was in the restroom when the final touchdown was scored so I missed it. For what it is worth it sounded like a jet engine in the concourse so I knew something great happened
