  1. $6 million for Zach Wilson? Is Miami out of their minds?
  2. The Bills management isn't interested in a young, inexperienced backup. Mitch is the 2025 backup, like it or not. I don't get why NE signed a veteran backup. They have a great opportunity to develop Milton & trade him after 3 seasons.
  3. A team can do a lot in a 3 year period. Think Bills 2018-2020 at the beginning of Josh's career. His 1st season he had nothing on offense but still made guys like Robert Foster look like an NFL WR. Then when he got some players in his 2nd year, the Bills started their playoff streak.
  4. While you can hope the player will be a 10 year or more franchise guy, the bottom line is you draft a player for 4-5 years and with free agency, you can't count on him playing for you more than 5 seasons. Since you cannot guarantee the guy will even make it to a 2nd contract with your team, age shouldn't be a factor. Remember when we drafted Edmunds, he'd still be so young after 5 years? How did that work out? 5 years of mediocre play & gone via FA. Draft a player who can contribute for 5 years & don't look ahead to a 2nd contract, because odds are he won't be getting a 2nd contract with your team.
  5. Those numbers indicate that MOST of the players have no shot & if the majority forces a strike, they are ruining it for the guys who actually have a chance of making an NFL roster.
  6. That's the regular pre-season version, not the off-season which so far only had the NYG. Nobody wants to be the next team that needs a QB & sees the guys they passed on starting & playing well, like Bo Nix did with Denver.
  7. Todd Schlopy is ditching his camera & getting his leg warmed up. Seriously, this indicates that most of these guys realize they have no hope of ever playing in the NFL because anyone who is playing in the UFL with hopes of impressing NFL scouts knows the last thing he needs is a strike.
  8. Has she ever said anything about the time her brother left the Bills?
  9. The week of the Bills 3rd or 4th straight Super Bowl, Marv said the best way to never ever lose a Super Bowl -Don't get in.
  10. Someone needs to tell ESPN that Jay Glazer broke this "breaking news" 4 days ago. .
  11. McDermott is the only coach in Bills history who succeeded in his 1st NFL head coaching job. Every other 1st time head coach has failed. All other successful Bills HCs were retreads and retreads like Rauch, Jauron, Gailey, & Ryan didn't exactly light it up as Bills HC. All the people calling for McDermott to go & be replaced by a rookie HC or a previously fired retread need a history lesson.
  12. There will be no 1st round rookie QBs available where the Jets draft at pick 7. Tennessee, Cleveland, Giants & Las Vegas all draft ahead of the Jets & the top 2 will be gone by 7. If the Jets were to draft the 3rd QB at 7, it would be as big a reach since they drafted Hackenberg in the 2nd round years ago & he never took 1 snap with them.
  13. Let's not forget there were other draft choices involved in the 2 trade downs and the final results will be more than just Worthy v Coleman.
  14. Eli Manning wins kick of destiny. Both missed from 25. Peyton missed from 20, Eli-right down the middle.
  15. The reason I remembered it was because there was a banner at the Rockpile that I saw on TV while watching the AFL championship game that said "Bills in Super Bowl, Chiefs in Soup Bowl" with Chiefs players drawn in a soup bowl. "
  16. Jay Glazer reported on the SB pregame show that Rodgers met with the Jets & they told him they're moving on from him.
  17. Your streak will end next year.
  18. From what I've read, it will not be shown on the east coast.
  19. I didn't want to mess up the attachment with more typing. I remembered them calling the 1st one the Super Bowl & went to the Buffalo downtown library years ago to get the proof because the Bills played in the AFL championship game. The NFL didn't officially call it the Super Bowl until III but everyone else was always calling it the Super Bowl. I printed this off the microfilm that the library had of all the back newspapers of the Courier Express. I also have a photo from the 1st one where at halftime the band spelled out Super Bowl.
  20. It was always called the Super Bowl. Here's the front page of the CE in 1967.
  21. Bathing includes showers. They just stay dirty in order to save water.
  22. I find boycotts to be pretty useless, especially of free items. Most people are not participants of a rating service & whether they watch or not will have zero effect on the TV ratings. If someone doesn't want to watch the game, that's fine, but if they're not watching, thinking they are a social warrior, they're mistaken. Just about anything can go too far. I recently spoke to a Californian who said they weren't bathing in order to save water.
  23. Prices continue to drop. They're now (Thursday afternoon) about half what they were when the conference championship games were played. Get in (600 level) at Ticketmaster & Stubhub! is now around $3,500 after fees. Lower endzone down to around $5,600. NFL On Location, which was lower is now higher than Ticketmaster & StubHub!.
  24. This is sort of normal. I follow Super Bowl prices every year & the best time to buy is usually the Sunday before the game. After that the seat selection goes down & unless you're only interested in the get-in priced tickets buy between Sat-Monday a week before the game. Prices may still go down on the get in price if there's any panic selling by brokers, but the better seats will be gone. This year, even though the price of tickets is following a mostly normal path there's the problem with lodging. The best hotels near the stadium were booked by the NFL & travel agencies like NFL On Location & Bullseye. If you waited for ticket prices to come down, the lodging didn't come down & many of the hotel & ticket packages are now sold out. I could not find any combination hotel & ticket packages left on NFL On Location today. Next year when the Bills get in, I won't buy that 1st night. I'll monitor the prices & hope to get a decent price Saturday or Sunday a week before. Here's what happened in the last 2 Super Bowls I went to: SBXLVIII: I bought the Tuesday before the game. Prices were under 2K for the upper deck at Met-Life. I could have bought an upper end zone seat for around $1,500-$1,600 but instead bought an upper corner for $1,857.50. I paid $105 for parking at Stub Hub's location, a few miles from the stadium & we were bussed to the game & back. I drove there the morning of the game & stayed in a motel in northern NJ at a regular rate with no SB mark-up the night after the game ended. SB50: After the Arizona fiasco the year before when prices for the game skyrocketed the week of the game leaving many people stranded without a ticket I panicked when prices went up during the season & bought 2 upper deck tickets at Levi's for $4,726 each in December. That year turned out to be normal & I could have gotten the tickets for about $3,500 a week before the game.
  25. Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch. President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.
