  1. And I remember there being rumbles the Bills specifically Terry Pegula like him quite a bit.
  2. Brett Hundley makes $705k this season and is a FA after the yr. AJ McCarron is owed 900k this season and $3M next season (Bills already paid a $4M signing Bonus). He should be able to fetch something with those low cap hits, if that's what the Bills wanted to do.
  3. Jod well done by the Jets front office. Turned a $500k signing bonus paid to Teddy into a 3rd round pick. That's called good business. Why no other teams were willing to pay Teddy a little more than that never made any sense.
  4. QB - worse/same RB - same WR - worse TE - better/same OL - worse DE - worse/same DT - same LB - worse CB - same S - better, way better
  5. Pam Oliver couldn't get a question out cleanly in those player interviews to save her life. It was tough to listen to.
  6. With 4 seconds left in the half, 45 yards away from the endzone and he throws a 5 yard pass across the middle. The guy has 0 football IQ
  7. He's really high on Josh Allen. Liked him the most of this years crop. Said in his 18 years of being around different personnel staffs in the NFL the situation in Buffalo when he was there was the worst hes ever seen. Went on to give Mcdermott and especially Daboll a lot of credit. That chat starts at the 3:10 mark.
  8. I did notice he was super pissed off at Sal Capaccios question on if they'll do an injury settlement with the injured punter. He told him not gonna answer that....next question. Then gave him a state and a disgusted nod for even asking the question. Thought it was pretty harsh. He definitely has a disdain for the media to some degree IMO He also always pressed reporters if they ask stupid questions that don't really seem like questions at all. Case in point....Vic Carucci's long winded question about Kulyle Williams age and ability to recover. It was a dumb question that made little sense and McDermott kind of let him know it was pretty stupid.
  9. I'd like to see what Jarvis is saying around...oh let's say week 11, when his receptions are down about 30% from what he's used to. Guys avg. 105 catches a yr over the last 3 seasons. I'd set his over/under this yr. @ about 78 if Tyrods the starter. The volume and production just won't be there with TT as the QB.
  10. The 3 & out % is a very important stat that goes mainly ignored in the media. I called into Schopp and the Bulldog about a yr. ago when Schopp was going on and on about how nice Tyrod was and how he deserved better than the Bills.....to point out the Bills offense was near the bottom of 3 & out % every season under Tyrod. His inability to make the "easy" plays and keep his offense on the field was apparent to any objective Bills fan.....and I think his paltry 3 and out % perfectly captures the frustration so many fans had with Tyrod's ability to lead an offense.
  11. No I do not. I refuse to pay for content. There ar4 different methods of making money off of a high traffic sports website and IMO the ones that have adopted a subscription model like the athletic will not work. I much prefer a model like the Ringer, which has advertisements. As far as Tim Graham I had to unfollow him on Twitter years ago because he was such a smart ass. I don't know the man at all but the way he comes across on Twitter was, IMO, not only petty but embarrassing. I like Fairburn's podcast with Joe B.....and I'll just continue to listen to that for free. If they decide to charge for that eventually I'll listen to the next guy who fills the non subscription model vacuum.
  12. I feel like the 2 most important aspects of an NFL team are: 1. Who's the QB? 2. Who's the HC? In that order of importance. Right now the Bills have a giant ? at QB. And I might be lower on McDermott than most.....but his Sunday game management and aggressiveness leaves a ton to be desired. He appears to be a very organized and prepared coach Mon. - Sat., but his super meek and conservative Sunday decisions leave a ton of pts. On the field
  13. I guess Matthew Fairburn and his website follow this site. An article about this very post popped up on their website about an hour ago. This title: "Josh Allen is blowing people away" - Chris Simms NewYorkUpstates title: Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen is blowing people away, says Chris Simms"
  14. Was listening to the Simms & Lefkoe podcast today. Said he's head from a media source and someone w/in the organization that Allen has been blowing people away (in a good way). Listen for yourself. It begins exactly at 40:26
  15. Zay Jones career w/ the Bills: Bills trade the 44th and 91st picks to select Zay Jones at #37 & also get back pick #149. The next 2 WR's selected were JuJu Smith-Schuster and Cooper Kupp at #62 & #69, respectively. Zay Jones (2017): 27 rec. for 317 yds & 2 TD's Juju Smith-Schuster (2017): 58 rec. for 917 yds & 7 TD's Cooper Kupp (2017): 62 rec. for 869 yds. & 5 TD's Zay has a terrible case of the drops all season and all but admits his confidence is struggling Zay has an offseason shoulder surgery Zay's arrested in a scary, bizarre incident at an LA hotel Zay has an unspecified knee surgery About as poor a start as any Bills fan could've imagined. Too bad too, because the next 2 WR's that went off the board look so much better than Zay right now.
  16. This will be his last season. I haven't totally written off the idea of him being traded at some point this season if we have a poor record. Not sure another team would want to take on his contract, but if hes having a stellar stat yr. maybe the Bills woiuld look to move him for a mid round pick to a team that has SB hopes and needs a back.
  17. I wish this board didn't pin every single BN article at the very top of the list. Almost like an agreement between BN and 2BillsDrive to arrange that.
  18. Also in the Buff News article is that they found other business related deceit outside of the relationships. I'm very curious what those details are and wouldn't be surprised if that was an even bigger deal and reason he was forces to leave. I've wanted Russ gone for well over 10 yrs. The guy just seemed like such a weasel. I've been to probably 10 road games the last few yrs. and it always concerned me that the Pegulas were chaperoned all over the field pregame by Russ. He had way too much clout in this organization for far too long, IMO.
  19. - Bears trade up for Saquan Barkley - Giants take a QB or trade back, nothing else - Lamar Jackson is still on the board Friday night - Reading a lot of Josh Rosen may slip, or if one slips it'll be Rosen......won't happen. Gone by pick #6 at the very latest. - Baker Mayfield doesn't come close to living up to the expectations of a top 10 pick - Saquan Barkley is no where near the slam dunk prospect he's made out to be. Listen to Joe Klatt on the Cowherd show. He has a lot of interesting stats that go against what you normally hear about Barkley. I'd predict a couple of lesser know RB's in this draft end up having longer and more productive careers as RB's in the NFL - Duke Dawson, CB, Florida will be a very good NFL starting CB - The WR out of Missouri, who apparently has his fair share of off the field baggage, is an absolute stud on the field. Speed, size, Antonio Brown like quickness and shiftiness in the open field....I think they call it loose hips. His highlight reel is jaw dropping.
  20. 100% correct. Further evidenced by the fact that they were unwilling to move back to #6 with the Jets and pick up those additional three 2nd round picks. Gettleman may be old school and appreciate his "hog mollies" but he's not dumb enough to turn down that bounty of draft picks unless they absolutely love 1 of the QBs. IMO, it's either Darnold or Rosen the Giants want probably in that order. I happen to think the Bills like the same 2 QBs.....and if both are gone the Bills will not be moving up.
  21. I've been to roughly 100 Bills games both home and away the last 20 years. The Dallas Cowboys Monday Night game was far and away the loudest game I've ever been to. My seasons were in Section 114 that season and we stood the entire game, no one sat down. There were points in that game when the Bills were on D, where I was shouting at the top of my lungs and still could not hear myself due to the surrounding noise. That's the only game that has ever happened
  22. I think it's smoke. I think the Jets moved up knowing they loved both Darnold and Rosen and had pretty good intel that the Browns were taking Josh Allen.
