  1. Indeed, Sir! ...not going to lie, though. I do like the fact that, tv schedule wise, there is SOME interest in Buffalo, even if it is just over a potential showdown during the preseason between the 1st and 7th pick overall.
  2. Well, I am at least willing to foment for a moment for a mentor, but that's it.
  3. Jay, and we are all a calm and cool bunch in the off season? We have 58 pages about Nathan Peterman starting game one.
  4. Please let the Browns beat the Giants next Thursday. I don't want to go through the stupid comments online and on the radio should you the Bills lose to them and that it is their first win since August of 2017.
  5. I was being sarcastic, Ned.  Our DBs are very strong.

      Oh please, my friend, this is a message board.  No bad at all.

       

      if you read the comment I was responding to I wonder if HE wa being sarcastic, too!

       

      our dbs are ridiculously good.

       

      Peace and Go Bills!

  6. Agreed. When I look at the Bills I can't think of any positions screaming more for help than our DBs. EDIT: As this is starting to become an issue, I'm being sarcastic. I thought that was apparent. Our DBs were great last year and should be just as strong or better this year. Obviously that wasn't clear enough, although I easily thought it would. My apologies for expecting too much.
  7. I'm sorry, was THIS his grand plan in leaving the Bills/Sabres of his own volition, for no reason whatsoever other than needing a change? His comments upon leaving were so ridiculous. Own what happened. EDIT:. That's right, even though Americans love second chances any conciliatory speech must invariably involve "changing my ways" comment which Brandon probably wasn't ready to do.
  8. 3 QBs at a total of what...I think 11 million dollars, plus a rebuilt oline....I agree. They keep all of them.
  9. For the love of all get out if he is going to start, please, please, please, PLEASE find ways to protect this kid. Come on oline: like you life depends on it, because his DOES.
  10. Great post and really great second paragraph. just to clarify, though, if you comments is based upon my OP I was referring to the fact that the salary cap is based upon league revenue (47% I believe right now?). I would also have the league come a little more clean on providing their revenue, which has been an issue in the best. The reason for lowering it is due to the new optics that these dollars would become a little more actual as to what is getting paid out, as opposed to just being accounted for. In the new era of doing it the contract likely would have been different, maybe as some have suggested here. Lower and shorter to make a player's actions more in play. For example: 3 years at 10-12 million and maybe you get a different player.
  11. It will take forever for Madden to catch up the change in the O. ...and I am not trying to be sarcastic. As a fan it gets annoying.
  12. @greenyellowred no worries, green. Just know that everyone who has responded and who will respond in this thread, including me, are the type of Bills fans that want to know which way Allen puts on his socks for training camp practices, and if it differs between morning and afternoon practices. Dont trust th cavalier responses. They will be glued to the tvs for especially the third preseason game and they DO care, like you, that it is a national audience.
  13. Maybe I am honestly getting soft in my old age, or maybe I've seen too many documentaries and movies that show what happens to these young men's bodies and minds as they get older and I'm starting to feel guilty about what I am cheering on. And it is not like the following articles put me over the top, but they did get me thinking enough to want to write something here to get some feedback/wisdom from you guys who will likely have a greater in depth understanding than me on the subject. https://deadspin.com/why-only-the-nfl-doesnt-guarantee-contracts-1797020799 https://deadspin.com/the-football-world-cant-even-see-the-nfls-rotten-core-1827905463 ...or maybe I just want DC Tom to call me an idiot. ? Look, I don't know the ins and outs of the cap and I don't know the ins and outs of accounting. I do know that the NFL has much larger rosters, much shorter seasons and an employee base that is much more at risk to getting injured, which would ironically enough go against having a cap. I also hate the coasting that seems to go on in other sports when they get these deals. (Former Sabre Really Laimo I'm looking at you for one). ...can't it be looked at, though? All that said, what if the league lowered the players cut of the revenue to start (just hear me out), but made that lowered amount fully guaranteed. However, limit the full guarantee to all the contracts for the years a player is 30 or under. I'm not saying for contracts made before a player is 30 or under, but rather the years the players are under 30. Contracts also wouldn't be weighted, they would be on the average. Therefore if a player signs a 5 year deal at 29 years old for 40 million dollars at the very least 16 million is guaranteed, although it could be more depending upon the quality of the player. The added savings of reducing the cap, along with league revenues, could be put into a league pool, wherein if careers were ended early on (under 30) the money would be paid out and the teams could get cap relief. I know holes are going to be easily shot into the suggestions above, but I also know that even after just thinking about this briefly, SOME ideas can at least come up. I look forward to all your thoughtful comments, and even some of the other ones. ? Go Bills.
  14. Seriously, man, how valuable is that he gets at least one year in with Williams. no question mark, because it was a fact.
  15. F that. Damn, I hate training camp because of this crap. Seriously, I don't wish it on anybody.
  16. First, he will be the best, and then he will be first.
  17. Come on, this is a pretty good movie take counter to all the easy John Hughes jokes. This shows moxie, transient. Nicely done.
  18. Btw, crazy to think that 6 of the first 8 teams we play had a winning record last year, and the other two could have had a winning record if they had their starting qbs. in short, 3-5 would be something, all things considered.
  19. "77" was all I needed to see. I knew exactly what this was about. I was there. Unforgettable.
  20. I used to try and draw the Stallions logo as a kid. I loved it, and them, so much.
  21. Come on, man. This is just plain the post of the day. Amusing is good. Funny is better. I laughed out loud. EDIT: Sorry, the post of yesterday. I've been busy.
  22. eball...you are awesome. You are sarcastic, but you are awesome.
  23. OK, some of the prognosticators can choke on their 0-8 starts and their 2-14 or 3-13 season for the Bills. I also have been on the record as saying I would love them to have a great season but if they end up being between 5-11 to 7-9 I would not be too upset as I believe we are really into the second year of a three year rebuild. That said, what are you thinking if they are 3-5 at mid season? Let me add regardless of who is at QB. If they can find a way to, let's say beat Baltimore, Tennessee and the Colts (I know, a tall order as two of those are on the road), then I don't think it is insane to give up hope on a 9-7 season. Playoffs? Sorry, unlikely this year as I think the AFC this year may yield a 10-6 record for the sixth position in the playoffs, but at least they can stay in the hunt. Look, I know it is hard to sweep teams in your division, but sweep the Jets and Phins, and then add possible wins against Chicago and Detroit (teams I respect, but still the best shots we have), and you get yourself to 6 wins, with losses against the Jags and Pats. If we don't finish 9-7, if it is more like 8-8 or 7-9 I would still deem the season reasonably acceptable given the second year of a rebuild. If they are 2-6 with AJ or Nate then I agree with others along the line of you start to think about putting Allen in, if you reasonably think he can be as good as the guys who got you to 2-6. What say you?
  24. Brother, you said it there. Crazy how expensive life is.
  25. The last time we started 0-8, we finished 4-4, including a game that scared the living pis************* out of Steelers' fans when one dropped pass in the end zone at Pittsburgh (Stevie?) at the end was the only thing that kept us from finishing 5-3.
