  1. It’s a mix of personality and on-field results. Fitzpatrick is a smart, quick witted guy who would do silly things like stop shaving during the season. His interviews were always a lot of fun!. Tyrod is a tremendous person but very soft-spoken. He comes off as likeable but not in the same was as Fitz. So personality wise, it’s easier to see how fans would be draw toward Fitzpatrick. In terms of style, Fitzpatrick put the Bills in positions to compete with teams above their level. There were multiple times, he single handedly kept the Bills in the game. He also engineered one of the biggest upsets versus New England, and he essentially became a hero that day. That’s his signature win. Tyrod had his moments but he never really had that one signature victory against a good team ik a shootout. Also what holds Tyrod back is his 2017 season. His risk-averse style of play coupled with a conservative and antiquated offense resulted in some painful football. Also I can’t remember it off the top of my head, but Tyrod’s WL in close games was really terrible
  2. You aren’t completely wrong about fans not making personnel decisions. But I think your memory of Kelly’s performance was not as strong in actuality. I remember Kelly being somewhat Rusty that game. He threw for 177 yards and 2 INT and he struggled to get the team in the end zone (same thing happened the next week in SB27) He hardly “dismantled” them and got a huge boost from Thurman and Kenneth Davis both rushing and receiving and course a great defensive performance. I don’t think it’s inconceivable that Reich could have led the team to victory that day. To be fair the majority of this work was mop up duty with 2nd team players or meaningless games at the end of year.
  3. I think we need to exorcise those demons. Someone from Buffalo needs to buy it and burn it in Hammer’s Lot!!!
  4. I think they are just kicking the tires here. From what I’ve read Tyrell Dodson has been very impressive and could solidly a role as backup LB. The Bills stuck with him through a domestic abuse arrest, so they have to see something in him.
  5. A lot of his predictions are terrible. Bills 15-1? That’s a little lofty IMO, but let’s say that happens... he had NE finishing 14-2!!!!! When is the last time a 14-2 team finished in second in their division? ???
  6. Rivera always seems like a really good guy. I’m wishing the best for him
  7. It depends.... it PSE was the one behind this network then probably not. The archived footage would be cool and that would be the only reason why I would subscribe. I would have no desire to watch “The Chris Brown Show” in the morning or “Bills Flashbacks with Maddie Glab” or “The Super Bowl Years” hosted by Steve Tasker. Outside of the “Embedded” series, current programming put out of PSE leaves a lot to be desired
  8. I think the Bills like Murphy a lot better than a lot fans do
  9. Congrats for them. I only wish it was a better beer than Labatt Blue. I’ve never been a fan, though it hasn’t stopped me from crushing large ones at Bills and Sabres games!!!!
  10. But it won’t go anywhere, just like how Tushy publicly said they would enter the process. Poloncarz said they’d never be able to put up the money needed. I think it’s the same with Barstool
  11. It’s a joke people. Remember two months ago when the bidet company was going to buy the naming rights?
  12. Sounds like an up and down day for Allen. Missed some throws but made a few nice ones. Diggs and Moss have been as good as advertised
  13. Who is Ranting Ron? His name has been coming up a lot online in Bills Twitter
  14. Clowney has about as much chance to come to Buffalo as Marcel Dareus does
  15. There was no chance of that happening. Gore looked great when the season began he straight-up sucked toward the end. How many times did he need to see Gore run right into defenders at the LOS for no gain? Is the lone partially to blame? Probably, but so was Gore’s straight ahead running style. Singletary had more success running behind the same line.
  16. Hogan developed into a good complimentary WR but I think injuries and age have taken a toll on him. Not playing with the greatest QB ever probably doesn’t help your production either. Probably not a bad signing for a street FA in August, but then again - there’s a reason he was a street FA in August
  17. It’s going to be tough for sure, especially since there’s no preseason and the fact that some of the Bills DE can move to inside. With Star our this year, there might be chance if they can beat out Vincent Taylor as a 4th DT. I think a lot depends on the health of Harrison Phillips...and whether they want to keep 4 DT’s on the roster
  18. Im kind of surprised they released Easley. I liked him last preseason and the Bills kept him on the PS. I thought that he had the potential to be a decent slot WR down the line.
  19. That’s the calculated risk Beane took. He traded a first-round pick in exchange for a proven WR in Diggs.
  20. At some point though isn’t it going to catch up to them? It seems like a lot of players signed contracts that were very team friendly in the first year
