  1. I guess I'll never understand why LS is a profession, but glad to see ours get some recognition.
  2. 84 on the Patriots? I think they cut a guy with that number mid-season once
  3. Bills used to have Bob Chandler hold for the kicker but one time he got hammered on a 3rd down pass play and had to come out of the game, couldn't hold for the FG
  4. And on top of that, I don't remember a team with a 6th round pick and two 7th round picks making the 53. This front office looks pretty smart.
  5. Anyone remember a team with 2 seventh round rookies on the 53? Pretty remarkable.
  6. I thought they'd cut Bojo and just go for it on 4th
  7. I wonder how Daryl Johnson feels about that
  8. Not allowed to leak that either
  9. I'm glad someone finally asked that question
  10. Trade him straight up for McCoy. It worked once...
  11. Damn, there goes my fantasy team
  12. He essentially took 2 guys out of the play
  13. She did the Raiders-Packers preseason game this week. I tried watching it because of knowing the Raiders a bit through Hard Knocks but I had to turn it off. I was so confused by the way they had the field set up, it was really disconcerting. Maybe it would have been too much to expect her to keep clarifying that the "end zone" started at the 10 yard line. If I'd watched that game to the end I think vertigo would have set in.
  14. I had to look up who #88 was on buffalobills.com https://www.buffalobills.com/video/isaiah-mckenzie-rushes-in-for-touchdown
  15. My favorite was when TreDavious White went down, and Green said "the Bills have already lost Levi Wallace tonight." Never mind that Levi was not only on the field at the time, but right in the frame standing next to TreDavious.
  16. I've had different but equally serious problems with GamePass this year. I live overseas and have subscribed for several years. Other than the very first year, when the streaming was so haphazard that they actually gave everyone a partial refund, I've been pretty satisfied. This year, though, with the move to the new platform, I had a series of major problems. I watch on a Windows computer connected to a HD projector and get a 105" picture which makes my basement the best sports bar in the country. But as of last week, I was unable to load the GamePass site. I would go to the URL and it would be "loading" and would get stuck there. I wrote to their tech support and got a canned response by email telling me to clear my cookies and cache and everything would be OK, or if that didn't work to try a different browser. I did it with no success, and tried Chrome, Edge, Firefox, 3 other Windows computers at home and on my office wifi, and also a Mac. None of it worked. Then I tried to download the Android app figuring I could buy a Chromecast and watch that way, but the Play Store says that the app is not available in my country (even though the nfl.com site specifically lists my country as one where you can download it). I wrote repeatedly to their tech support with no response, then suddenly on Wednesday I tried again and was able to access the site! When it came time for me to watch Thursday's game (archived, on Friday morning my time), I got into the site but couldn't get the player to work in Chrome. It turns out that you need to disable Flash (which I need for other streaming applications I use) so I was able to get it running in Firefox and saw the game. I guess that's where I'll see the 2019 season (except for the Eagles game which I'll see at New Era Field!) Now some gripes: 1. They've taken away the quad box. Best night of football ever was watching the Bills clinch the playoff spot and watching the other three games where we needed a result, all at the same time in the quad box. 2. They've taken away the skip 10 seconds forward/backward buttons. Why? This is 2019 for heaven's sake. 3. They've taken away the radio play-by-play option. John Murphy is so much better than the clowns who cover the Bills games for the networks Thank you for listening. I feel better already.
  17. Is route 24-9 anywhere near routes 5 & 20?
  18. I find it hard to imagine that Derek is on the roster week 1. He doesn't contribute anything to the gameday roster and would almost certainly be inactive 16 out of 16 weeks barring injury. It would make sense for the Bills to persuade him to retire and make him a coach. Being a "valuable guy in the QB room" isn't enough to have him stick around as one of the 53.
  19. In the early 1960s, when JFK was president, the Washington Senators had a player named John Kennedy.
  20. A former McQuaid star whose dad was Vice-Mayor of Rochester. Or we could have Don Cherry do it...
  21. They should have Rochester native and former Bears kicker Bob Thomas announce the pick (if he can get time off from his day job as Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_R._Thomas
  22. Trading Kiko for Shady. Brilliant move! Wait. What? That was the other guy??
  23. I think we get him automatically since we drafted "Josh Allen" last year
