Albany,n.y.

If it's against KC next week someone has to dust off the sign that was at the Rockpile for the AFL championship before the 1st Super Bowl "Bills in Super Bowl, Chiefs in Soup Bowl". Hopefully with a different ending this time.

When you're playing a team that is a run 1st pass 2nd and is known to have a tough time coming back when they get behind, you want to get them playing from behind ASAP. Now the Bills scored only 3 in the 1st half, but by the time Baltimore got the wind in the 4th quarter the game was basically over, especially after Jackson went out. The problem with the OP is one size doesn't fit all. You don't mind Baltimore, which has a hard time coming back getting the wind in the 4th quarter, but you wouldn't want to face Mahomes with a wind advantage in the 4th quarter even with a 14 point lead.

The big signing bonus is paid in year 4, so the big payday starts after year 3.

There's no such thing as completing a rookie contract for a 1st round QB who turns out to be a franchise QB. They all get big bucks after 3 seasons.

Back in 1988 when I 1st moved to Albany and I hadn't yet heard of satellite bars I used to drive halfway to 2/3 to Utica and watch the game in my car on a small black & white TV for games that weren't on in Albany. I did this for a total of 3 games. The 1st 2 were 1 PM games so I parked in a rest stop on Rt 20. The 3rd game was in Seattle & was a 4 PM game played mostly after it got dark in NYS. I went to a well lit Thruway rest stop 66 miles from where I lived & watched the game there. The best part was I was able to go in & get dinner there. The next year I found out I could go to bars & watch the games not on home TV. By then I was going to most of the home games anyway. Overall, the experience of sitting in my car & watching a game, even if it could be in a parking lot with big screens, especially in winter, is something I never want to do again.

Arthur Blank likes guys named Smith. They used to be coached by Mike Smith (the one who isn't a jockey).

There's not going to be a parade. They will hold a celebration at the stadium with 6,700 in attendance. The celebration will be televised live in Buffalo & streamed on the Bills website.

Before he retired Ozzie Newsome was the best GM in the NFL.

We don't have much of a running game because we don't have a #1 RB on the roster

Does anyone know what the PS callup rules are for the playoffs? In the regular season they only get 2 callups. I thought Jackson used his up. How many more does he get before they have to sign him?

I think he'll get a longer leash than Gase because he's a 1st time head coach, not someone who was recycled like Gase.

Sorry, someone has to say it: This didn't age well.

Fitzpatrick was a 7th round pick by the St. Louis Rams.

To us old guys 30 years ago is recent.

Nick Saban is still hated by Dolphins fans. Others include Butch Davis in Cleveland, Steve Spurrier in Washington (although he was a success in the USFL prior to his college coaching stints), and back in the 1970s Bud Wilkinson with the St. Louis Cardinals. Some would add our boy Doug Marrone to the list. The only one who came out of college and succeeded that I can think of is Jimmy Johnson.

Ben is in his 17th season. There's no reason Josh won't last as long.

Where did you get your data from? This makes no sense. Name them.

All 4 AFC QBs became starters in 2018. 3 from the class of 2018 & Mahomes from 2017 who was redshirted his rookie year. Looking back, the 2018 QB class was as advertised, just like 2004 and 1983. Each produced 3 franchise QBs. Just like 1983, the 2nd & 4th QBs weren't much and the QB taken near or at the end of the 1st round turned out to have the most early success.

Lamar Jackson, CB Nebraska My grade: 4th round Signed with the New York Jets as an UDFA. Started the season on the Jets' practice squad, was out of free elevations by week 5 and so was signed permanently to the active roster. Appeared in 13 games with 6 starts and 2 passes defensed. I heard he's starting at QB for the Ravens this Saturday night.

The best fight I ever saw was in the upper deck late in the 4th quarter when there were a lot of empty seats. The two guys started rolling down multiple rows and my main concern was making sure I was not in their way. At one point I thought they would make it to the 1st row and try to throw each other over the railing, but the fight went into the concourse & I never found out how it finished.

Years ago I had a boss who every once in a while we'd get into shouting matches. Neither my job nor his was ever in danger. I think he thought that if you got mad about something he knew you cared. One time he got mad at me and I yelled back at him & I said something like "I'm going to the Super Bowl, I don't care if somebody else works on this" When I retired , long after he left for a better job, he sent me an e-mail praising my abilities. The best part of the e-mail was when he wrote: You're the only one ever to tell me to f off, & I deserved it.

I personally can't stand it when people in the row behind me bang on the seats in my row. If they want to pound on a seat, they should pound on their own damn seat. Now if the row is totally empty in front of them, like a lot of seats are with the limited capacity, they can pound away, but otherwise they are vibrating the fans in front of them and I doubt too many people want their @sses vibrated while trying to watch a football game.

It's going to take too long to get to Buffalo from California rolling along on the inside of a tire.

RB hasn't got a vote yet. If we had a decent one on the roster the vote would have been different.

If he doesn't get another HC job, he'll be Andy Reid's OC next season after Bieniemy leaves.
