This ^ The line need more time to gel but I can see us drafting an OT very early in the draft next year.

Defense - mind your gap coverage in the run. Stay in your lanes, stop the over pursuit, DO YOUR JOBS.

I grew up watching the old AFL in the mid-60’s and most of the stadiums were dual purpose. A “football only” stadium is the only way to go. Prefer outdoors and grass when practical.

Barkley gaining more total yards is the likely outcome, he is a beast and the Giants must feature him to win. Buffalo’s defense is good and seem to be getting better but in each of the past two season they have had periods over several games of poor tackling and poor run defense. The coached blamed it on player doing their assignments, so the defense better be prepared. Singletary will get more touches and will likely make a few plays but the key for the Bills will again be Josh Allen managing the game and making the throws when needed. We need to get on the right side of the turnover battle this week.

Late summer and Fall, right into Christmas really are the best times of year indeed. Coffee brewed - a Grog that the wife concocted. It’s great. Sitting on the deck looking at the wooded area past my yard and listening to birds sing. Breakfast will be a veggie omelette. All three kids gone, raised and they have good jobs and their own homes. Yeah!!! Morning news, then Jazz music while in my soundroom while “reading the paper” on my iPad. No more NFL pregame shows, don’t need it. Watch game at Bills Backers bar this afternoon. We can win this. Peaceful evening planned for later. The game outcome always plays a role in my mood.

Super Bowl 25. Don Beebe was hurt. Steve Tasker playing as the 3rd WR, instead of Al Edwards. That would have helped a lot. Of course, running the ball against their 2 man DL and forcing them back to their standard 3-4 was the key and we discovered much too late.

Looks like a Hall of Fame player to me. Tasker’s receptions as a WR would have been much higher if the Bills knew what they had sooner.

Great video. The ‘65 Bills overcame injuries on offense, and the loss of Cookie Gilcrest, to win their 2nd AFL Championship in a row. They did it with a fabulous defense. I think those Champion Bills team would have held their own against the NFL teams and beaten the majority of them. I LOVED watching the AFL. To me it was more explosive than the old NFL. More passing, more innovation, and more speed. The AFL did not hesitate to hire African American players. The AFL got on par with the NFL very quickly. I cherish those days.

Apology accepted. I understand what happened and I see it happen just about every day. I am not definitely not defending the joke and I do believe that you can’t joke about things anymore without risk of offending someone. So let’s get back to football.

Dude. Your arguing with the wrong person. I did not write the samwiches comment. I said I laughed (an internal laugh) at it because my friend used to say that word when we were kids. That’s it. It reminded me of something funny. Please Re-read the thread. You just proved my point, you cannot joke in these forums without someone doing what you are doing - which is getting offended over nothing.

Yes indeed. I want ant to see the OL take a positive step. The Jets DL and LBs were a tough match. More Singletary for sure. That should bring a safety up and help set up the deep ball.

So to stop the scalping you need an expensive smart phone, with the monthly data fees that go with it, just to go to an NFL football game. If you have to have paper, and if your lucky, you might find a ticket outlet that will sell you a paper copy for $5 more in fees. I just bought 4 MLB tickets using one of the online ticket services. I had to download an app to my phone and I had to pay $11 extra in fees for each ticket. So scalping is alive and well. Only it’s legal for some.

Fixed.

The Jills were never part of the Buffalo Bills organization. Always a separate entity, and one fraught with issues. It is a new world. Today Cheerleading is a competitive sport of its own and it includes male cheerleaders, at least in high school and college. The connotations on cheerleading are typically negative but that is unfair. Be careful with your assumptions about Kim and cheerleading . Kim herself was a high school cheerleader, who knows what she thinks about it or if she cares about it at all. From wikipedia: She was brought to the United States and there adopted by Ralph and Marilyn Kerr on December 30, 1974. She grew up with her adopted family in Fairport, New York, a suburb of Rochester.[2] Kim participated in cheerleading and the school band, playing bassoon. After following her brothers' footsteps in enrolling at Houghton College, she and a roommate made plans to venture to Alaska to work near a fishing camp upon hearing there was money to be made. Unable to afford the fare, she applied for work at a restaurant in Olean, New York; while interviewing for a waitressing gig, she met Terry Pegula, who was dining at the restaurant. Terry offered her a job at his natural gas company, and they eventually entered a relationship, marrying in 1993. No mention of earning a degree or any the jobs she did for said natural gas company but no doubt she is a sharp person and has been involved in big business with Terry for a long time. I am pulling for her and Terry. They are really helping the City of Buffalo.

I laughed out loud at the samwiches comment. More so for the word “samwiches” as it reminded of a friend way back when I was a kid. He said that a lot. Anyway, you cannot make jokes about certain subjects today. No joking allowed. Besides, it’s just best to stick to football on football forums, hockey on hockey forums, etc. Go Bills!

WR seems to be the position of prima Donna show offs. Has been for awhile.

I agree with Shaw but let’s be clear, every team has drafted and acquired players that were known “bad” guys with hope of rehabilitation. Maybe the Pats* more than most. Let’s not forget that Bills were in discussions with this creep’s agent. Where Shaw is 100% correct is the cheating. I’m betting we don’t even know the half of it either. As for the owner. Any guy in his position, at this point in his life, that takes a poor $79 prostitute is amoral. While I doubt he was directly involved in trafficking, his choice to exploit the poor, uneducated, and desperate make him a low life in my opinion. I could not see Ralph or Terry doing such a thing and would not support them if I knew that they did.

Singletary had the biggest impact.

Allen just has a hard time getting any credit with the national media and even with many Bills fans. 12 games in and he is doing ok. Definitely an athlete and a leader. He just needs to consistently deliver the ball and cut down on errors. Remember a young Brett Farve. Same kind of player and he did ok. One fumble was on a sack, he needed to protect the ball. The second fumble was a terrible snap, he never got the ball. The Pick -6 was on Beasley. The other pick was a batted ball - bad bounce. He had two other "pickable" balls that fortunately the Jets missed. Yet he had a 308 yard game with 2 TDs. He threw for 270 yards and one TD, he ran for 38 yards and a TD. Despite most things going wrong for three quarters he LEADS HIS TEAM to a road win when down 16-0. That should be the story but with the majority of the media will likely be more focused on his errors. He slightly outplayed Darnold while in a more difficult environment

Gannon is nothing special. Romo is very good.

No. WR is the hardest position to compare against other eras. Lofton- Reed-Beebe was pretty good. If they only knew how good Tasker was when they had these guys.

I like McD and I don't care if he claps, even after we make a bad play. He is a positive force, a motivator, and he has his players backs.

Of course we need to see more games but I liked what I saw from Brown, Singletary, Oliver, and Sweeney/Knox. Singletary and Brown were especially good today. All the offensive lineman need more games make any kind of decision on. I think that Morse got pushed back at times and he botched a snap that Allen has to carry as a fumble. Beasley made a few plays but also had two drops and the pick 6 is mostly on him IMO.

Count me in. Stuck with Josh and even posted -- "Josh this is YOUR TIME" in the 2nd half thread.

He knows dam well how the players have acted on the sidelines on this team over the last 20 years. He knew exactly what the caller meant but he choses to be a dick. He said his condescending smart ass stuff because he does not want to say something positive. I just turned his show off. I hate that he is on the air after the games. He is terrible and he ruins the post game just by his existence. But of YOU like him ...
