  1. Which is the best way out of this situation for all parties concerned. Rodgers will still be motivated to do well because he will also be auditioning GB get a transition year and prepare plans for next year (backup to Love, bridge QB if required etc) Other teams can plan their trades, financial, roster in preparation for the offer to Rodgers If Rodgers doesn't play well or if the team is not winning enough , I won't be surprised if LeFleur benches Rodgers and goes with Love to see what they have/don't have
  2. PJ Bottoms does ring a bell. When were you in UB? I was there 1989-91. Found a job 2 hours away from BUffalo and used to visit almost every other weekend till 1995. Other (cheap) memories: Movie theater near Amherst campus for $1 movies, bar next to it had cheap (cant remember prices) pitchers of beer and fish Fry on Fridays. A bar at the corner of Minnesota & Main which had $4 all-you-can drink between 7 and 10 pm. Oh those days! Back to the original topic, I have a soft spot for Duffs as I was introduced to wings there, back in 1989. Still enjoy their wings. Near the Chicago-land, the closest wings are in Mundelein (Franks for the memories)
  3. After he decides, should we trade Trubisky to the Packers if the price is right? I don't want the Bills to do it considering how valuable he is as a backup but I wonder if Beane will take a call from the Packers on that. I know they have seen enough of him to know he is not much good but they would be rather desperate given the drama queen's late decision. If Rodgers does decide in that direction, it must call into question the league rules against such an escape clause which enabled Gronk to do the same. Stinks of tampering to me
  4. At first glance, I thought he is heavier in last year's picture. But then it could be a number of things that could affect my opinion - Jersey versus Tshirt, camera angle, camera quality etc. So on second thoughts, it is tough to tell without knowing his comparative weights and measurements. In the games last year, he looked fat for a person playing that position. He was also a lot less mobile which could have been the condition of his knee(s) or by design to protect him
  5. Question is what would a Bills fan do to see the Cowboys get their rears kicked by the Bills in a SB?
  6. Or it could be that GB showed how much they value him but he still wants to pout and complain for no specific reason. He had a tough time initially with LaFleur, threw a hissy fit when they drafted Love and now doesnt want a shiny new extension. Nobody knows what will make Rodgers happy, including himself. He had one of the best seasons by a QB last year. If the guy were to take a more positive attitude and help the team, FO and coaches, he may have had more rings. He is just a whiny baby who likes to create drama and portray the image that no one loves him. Well, the latter part is now entirely his own doing
  7. if we want to compare facts Final score 26-15 On the road Total yards 334-224 Rush Yards 104-47 TOP 35:15 - 24:45 I remember this game as us pretty much having our way with them after mid way through the second quarter. We trampled them
  8. Bills are bringing back most of the roster that went 13-3 and trampled the Steelers last year. I dont see the Steelers have upgraded so much that they would have a large advantage in Game 1 of the season. Setting aside "anything can happen on a Sunday", I would be completely shocked if we lose to the Steelers and start our SB campaign on the wrong foot
  9. Can't wait! The season is almost upon us. History will look back and admire this first Superbowl winning season
  10. Not a jersey per se but I do have 2 old Bills tshirts which were fine after the first few washes but started shrinking a bit every year for the past few years. Very strange
  11. I kinda disagree re:Tomlin. I am not a big fan of his but he hasn't really had a healthy and young Roethlisberger at his disposal the past few years. The Steelers should have drafted his replacement (1st round) two years back. But given where they are, draft one next year, hit the reset button and give Tomlin 1+2 years more.
  12. If you mention a drop in a playoff game, you also have to acknowledge the fantastic catches he had in the Colts game. Much depends on Beasley's situation but Imo, this season he will get a lot of balls thrown his way as Sanders will be used primarily as a deep threat.
  13. Ignoring that crabby old man @Chandler#81, I will play along and say yes 500 points in the regular season is achievable. More balance on offense, better experience at WR, more flexibility on the OL. 😀
  14. Those snippets dont have any detailed analysis of the players but I will give Simms the benefit of the doubt as he typically bases his opinions on actual viewing and analysis. I hope he is wrong too. We need to hit on at least one of Basham and Rousseau else we are mighty thin at the position for this and future seasons
  15. Ignoring the last several messages in this thread, I must say I liked McCoy. He's put his head down, played hard and was a team player. He had limitations but he put in the effort. Good to see his post with a shout out to his ex team mates. Class act
  16. That information and analysis is towards the beginning of this thread
  17. Yep, he is so comfortable up there that it almost looks like a fake video. Quite an equine btw!
  18. A thought came to mind , not sure if it has been expressed before. How would y'all feel if Knox is part of the trade deal for Ertz? I would rather keep Knox for one more season to see if he puts it all together. But I wouldn't feel too bad rolling with Ertz and Hollister.
  19. In general, our O drives were fine and won us 13 games last season. But the limitations were exposed in the Chiefs in-season game and throughout the playoffs., We need a credible run game and contribution from TEs to get us over this hump. Those are the kind of games we need help winning. We are no longer just aiming to make the playoffs.
  20. Which by itself will be a very good thing for the offense, wouldn't you agree? With Beasley's status unknown, upgrading talent for the short to intermediate game will be important to exploit every part of the field. If that someone has proven to be better than you and your only claim is that "I will be better next year", then I will side with your boss
  21. Your first sentence is rather ironic given the rest of your post. - The Bills are not threatening to cut him, he is opting to take that stance - This is not about vaxx or anti-vaxx, it is flow down terms from the league which make it a condition of continued employment - Beasley's stance is surprising as it means he will be giving up a means of income which he is very good at and also stop playing the competitive sport he evidently loves
  22. Oh great! Now Rodgers is going to be disgruntled with Simms
