Nice wrap-up. I guess I agree with everything you said.
That pass call on first and goal from the 1 made me think of Kevin Gilbride. Did anyone else have a bad-days flashback?

Not just to win the game (Kelly, Thurman, Bruce, . . .) but sentimentally I would love to see Eric Moulds again. Tremendous receiver who got to the Bills at the wrong time. Aaron Schoebel too.

I was posting on Moulds and Schoebel while this was going up so I hadn't seen it. I agree.

Thanks everyone!

Anybody have a link to the Landry fumble and 99-yd runback that got X'd? I'm trying to show my wife what a bad call it was and all I turn up on nfl.com and Google is the celebration.

Why do you care what they do or do not do with their practice squad at this point? There are far better things to complain about.
That's the point of the question. And why do you think it's a complaint?

Thank you for being the first person to offer an answer to my question.
Why do so many people automatically assume a question out of curiousity is an angry complaint? Jeesh . . .

THIS is your first post? The referees taking it to us last week. Gronks flying forearm. Peterman starting over TT and throwing 5 1st half picks. Plethora of trades we’ve made. None of those prompted you to post, but a practice squad transaction did? Millennial?
Huh? I've been posting for years (the number of posts is right under the "total reputation" number, whatever that means) and I'm just asking a question.
This kind of post makes you throw a tantrum? Just chill babe . . .

Seriously: why?
There was no practice today and PS'ers have nothing to do on Game Days. So what's the point on Saturday of Week 17? They'd rather have a WR than a CB next week if they make the playoffs? Or they keep the newby's rights in the offseason, and he's that valuable?
-
FWIW: O'Brien is being mentioned in these parts as a possible Giants HC. He may want out of Houston, meaning he doesn't care if Smith wins a power struggle.
-
You have to hope Rappaport is right about a trade, but who's going to give anything up for him when he's likely to be a free agent? And why would anyone get into a bidding war for Tyrod Taylor to "insure" the Bills pick up his option so he can be traded?

I thought it was some rule that for our Thursday night game we play the New Jersey Jets in New Jersey.
Prediction: could be Baltimore for a change next year. I don't see the networks wasting a national Patriots broadcast on the Bills these days.

Interesting: counting Lynn with LAC and assuming Mularkey isn't fired by TN, three former Bills HC's visiting next year. St. Doug of Jax is the other one.

I'm curious myself. This morning I heard Mel Kiper (OK, it's only him, but still . . .) say the 5 potential 1st Round QB's for this year's draft are Rosen, Darnold, Allen, Mayfield, and . . . Drew Lock. No mention of Mason Rudolph from OSU, who I thought was a scout's favorite/hot prospect type.
-
All the pending FA QB's have knocks and baggage on them -- throw in Alex Smith, Eli if he's available (37 in January!), anybody on Denver's roster. Whoever plays QB in 2018, the Bills are not winning the Super Bowl next year. Other than Cousins, none of these guys project out beyond one or two more years. I would rather take my chances in the draft.
I salivate for Josh Rosen but I don't think we'll get the chance to take him. Since the whole draft is a guessing game, and the Bills have a lot of holes, I don't want to trade 4 or 5 picks (= opportunities to guess right on a warm body 4 or 5 times) for one guy who may be hit or miss. Maybe Mayfield . . . ?
And having said that, I agree it's a QB-driven league and there's no substitute for the right one.

Aaaaaaaaaaand . . .
Top it off with throwback red helmets from the Super Bowl years!
I like the whites well enough, but I miss the reds sometimes.

That play around the 1:00 mark shows Peterman's already experienced in our offense.

One of three things is about to happen:
1. Peterman bombs and the team finishes with 5-6 wins and a Top 10 draft pick and knowing they need to choose a franchise QB in the draft (win)
2. The team stays the same and either squeaks into the playoffs or just misses them, in which case the Bills have the option of taking a QB in the 2018 draft (win)
3. Peterman lights it up and is the next Kirk Cousins or Dak Prescott and the team rolls into the playoffs and making a bit of a run and the team doesn't need to draft a QB in 2018 (win)
McDermott just put the franchise in a no-lose situation!
My fear is that Peterman will show just enough to make OBD think he's good enough to be Andy Dalton or Chad Pennington but with a little more exposure he turns into Trent Edwards or Ryan Fitzpatrick -- and we've missed out on drafting a quality QB again.
-
I'm not sure the combine gun adequately registers strength so much as delivery speed -- which is about mechanics and technique. Of course mechanics and technique can be improved with coaching and practice, so there's reason to ignore this as a negative about Peterman.

Gruden loves every QB.
True. But he also carried 4 QB's on his roster at times -- suggesting he didn't love any one of them that much.
-
Ehh. The Bills have been mostly between below average and bad the past 17 years with some boneheaded moves sprinkled in. The Browns right now are a legitimate clown show.
Perfect next move for the Browns: hire Rex.

Meanwhile if you're Kizer or Hogan you woke up this morning thinking "yes, I am chopped liver."

We own the tiebreaker vs. Denver. Think about that for a minute.
It feels like we haven't owned a tiebreaker over anyone since the Comeback Game. In years during the playoff drought that we weren't eliminated by Halloween we've still lost all the projected tiebreakers late in the season.
If Oakland straightens out and competes we win that tiebreaker too.

"To the OP's point, there's only 16 games in the year, so a coach doesn't even think about this unless his team has a huge lead in the 2nd half."
Thank you for replying to my post.
Some people seem to be suggesting today's game vs. Raiders was a trap game. Huh?????
And on Thursday if they're not focussed in a divisional road game that's their only national exposure of the year they're braindead.
-
with the team looking forward to the glamour of a Thursday night in New Jersey.
Um . . . some of us live here. We enjoy that Thursday night glamour (glamour?) every week.

I'm seriously curious:
Do you coach this game any different knowing you're playing again on Thursday?
Baseball managers have to save pitchers for the rest of the schedule. Basketball and hockey coaches try to save legs when there's a game tomorrow. I suspect football coaches don't (can't?) do anything different but I wonder if they at least think about it. Maybe spell Shady just a little more? Step up the pace of line rotations so starters get a few less snaps?

You can look it up. The actual wording of the league rule is, "if you can screw Buffalo, do it." Thus TD's and fumble recoveries get reversed on replay and we get the least attractive prime time matchup's, usually on the road. It's also why we'll probably get the Patriots coming off their bye again in '18.
