  1. No doubt. But at the time he declared he was on a lot of draft boards anywhere from 3rd to 7th round. His advisors probably told him go now, or you risk not being drafted next season when the QB pool is deeper and UB will have a worse WR crew to elevate him. So he rolled the dice and lost. Obviously, in hindsight he could have stayed and sharpened his skills and still been an UDFA in 2020. Now he’s likely to be cut and have no football this season. Not good
  2. Why would they throw such a low% fade?! So dumb
  3. I think Tyree just needs to tuck and run. He’s not ready to Chuck it around in the NFL. Things are happening too fast for him
  4. Tyree just can’t see downfield fast enough, tough learning curve to read defenses
  5. Hausch sucks. Time to start auditioning the Big 10 kicker of the year and some other guys
  6. I always liked Ryan Finley in college at NC State. He didn't get picked until the 4th round. So far in preseason he looks real accurate and comfortable in the pocket for Cincinnati.
  7. I've been a customer since 2000. I've noticed the past couple years since AT&T took over they won't transfer me to a "Loyalty" dept. I don't know if such a department really exists anymore? or maybe they are simply transferring to another supervisory type person. They are very unwilling to provide discounts on the Ticket. But they will provide some general monthly credit off the bill if you're polite and previous credits have expired. It probably has to do with the way they recognize revenue for the Sunday Ticket product. Anyway, I'll be calling DTV when i get my August bill which I'm sure will have an exorbitant ST installment charge on it.
  8. A Carolina media person said Oliver jumped Offside on 3 straight snaps today. So the Bills pulled him out and sat him for a few. He's jumpy!
  9. From the early twitter stuff i was viewing from both teams/media, it seemed like the Panthers were taking the Bills to school in several different areas. Hope that's not really the case.
  10. Thats harsh man. The only thing I’ll say is the coaching staff needs to be careful about reigning in Allen’s athletic ability too much. He will naturally become a better NFL QB over time, but don’t make him be a statue in the pocket. If he gets hurt running so be it. He’s smart, he can make good decisions. Let him be the athlete he is
  11. People tend to dismiss him but that UDFA from Ilinois was the Big Ten kicker of the year in 2018. Ranked 2nd in the nation last year in 50+ makes and nailed 80% overall,, and no domes in the crappy midwest weather. So if he does well in preseason here, he may get a crack in the League elsewhere (assuming Hausch gets his mojo back).
  12. I think the Bills, along with their concession charge higher prices (and quantity) to keep alcohol sales in check. The stadium has had it's problems with rowdy intoxicated people. As a comparison, the Ravens lowered their food/drink prices last season and continues this year. Domestic 12oz. $5 Domestic 16oz and Drafts, $7 Premium 16oz and Drafts, $8 Premium spirits, $9
  13. I don’t think anyone really thought that. I liked Tyree at UB, but honestly, he’s a borderline 3rd string guy at best if he can show significant improvement. He’s not accurate enough yet
  14. If budget weren't a huge factor, I'd definitely like to see UB make the jump up to a better overall athletics conference than the MAC. Not sure it's realistic. I think Buffalo would be a middling football program in the AAC with more bad years mixed in than good seasons. Hoops would be solid though. The AAC has had multiple bids and Buffalo would benefit from that. In the MAC you have to win the conference tourney.
  15. It sucks but this is not a unique thing to UB Football at all. Players are using the transfer portal like free agency and it's affecting the Power-5 schools just like the G-5 programs...for many different reasons.
  16. Sounds like they will be closing up shop in SJF within a couple years. I don't mind. As others have said, it's mostly been a losing era of football since they've held it there. I get to Buffalo once or twice a summer and it would be nice to see a Bills practice locally.
  17. Awesome. Whatever he's doing...keep doing it.
  18. Cool. For those of us at work can anyone link it later? I'd like to watch it.
  19. I like Tyree, have watched him for years. But I'd be pretty surprised if he takes a regular season NFL snap in the next 2-3 years. It would be great for him if he performs well enough in camp & preseason to make the practice squad. I don't think he would ever be a tight end and it's way too early for any club to go that route with him.
  20. Even when you know what’s coming, it’s still a gut punch to hear the news. RIP Pancho and our thoughts are with his family.
  21. The Alabama board thinks he has the greatest hands.. so maybe he has half a shot to make it if he can play some ST.
  22. That would be a phenomenal season and I don't think it's realistic. If he throws 24 TD passes, it likely means he's not diving in for TD's like he did last season...he's probably taking the dump off or short throw for a touchdown instead. If he plays all 16 games, i think his season will be 20 TD passes, 5 rushing TD, 58% completion. And that would be very good IMO.
  23. Yup. Been saying this too. Gotta have a 2nd year progression like Trubisky. Also, like every other running QB, Allen's rushing TD's should be included when evaluating his season. He accounted for 18 TD's with his arm and legs. As his career goes on I would hope his passing TD's increase while his rushing TD's decrease a bit.
  24. Having watched Tyree for his entire UB career and only focusing on Josh Allen last season w the Bills I have two observations. For a big guy, Allen moves like an athlete, he has a burst when he takes off and runs... like an athlete. Tyree looks uncoordinated at times and I think that is a legit knock on him by NFL scouts. When he gets flustered back there he looks like the inflatable tube guy that's flopping around in front of used car dealerships. Allen needs to shore up his accuracy but he didn't look too far off and had a ton of drops. He was a better looking passer than i was lead to believe coming in to the 2018 season. Tyree is a decent thrower when his initial read is open. The second half of 2018 he really bounced too many short passes off the turf or threw 100 mph way over guys heads. No touch. I like Tyree but i never thought he'd be anything more than a project early in his career. I thought he'd be drafted late 5th or 6th round so I was wrong about that like many others. As for Allen, I didn't really want him based on the pre-draft reports last spring but i can see why he was a top-10 pick. I think he will be good. Maybe not great but good enough to win and make the playoffs.
