  1. NFL GMs agree! In the years 2016-2018 there were 11 1st round QBs taken and 10 of them were acquired via a trade up in the draft to get them.
  2. Here's the problem, neither you or Alphadawg are employed by the Bills. The real employees had a list of their top 6 QBs (as leaked with photos of their board before the draft) and Jackson wasn't on that list. They had the QBs rated in order, Allen, Darnold, & Mayfield=they were willing to trade up as high as 5 if any of those 3 were available. After that the remaining 3, in order were Rosen, Rudolph & Lauletta-NO JACKSON. So the whole premise that we could have stood pat & taken Jackson without trading up doesn't work because they would have taken either Rosen (who is looking like the bust of that QB class) or Rudolph, who isn't exactly lighting things up in Pittsburgh. I'd rather have traded up for Allen than be stuck with bust Rosen or mediocre Rudolph, or worse yet, Lauletta who got cut after 1 season with the NYG. Any way you look at it, the Bills were never drafting Jackson, no matter what your opinion was before the draft. You can only be critical of the team not drafting a player they were interested in. The Bills scouts never liked Jackson. Over the years there are a lot of pre-draft posts about players the poster wants the Bills to draft. When one plays better than the player the team the poster posts something similar to what you've done, however if the team didn't like the player to begin with, your whole point is moot.
  3. The my tuner one that has been discussed in this thread including the post right above your post.
  4. This is a much better option. Very few problems and it goes to WGR immediately without having to watch/listen to an ad when one opens it.
  5. I'm still waiting for the official word. Yes it's on the Spectrum cable guide & the Times Union sports section but this has happened before & we didn't get the Bills game. When I see the ad during the Ch 6 news saying Denver/Buffalo 1 PM Sunday, then I'll believe it. I find it hard to believe they'll take Bills/Denver over Jets/Raiders since the Raiders are doing Ok & have a much bigger national fan base than Denver.
  6. ...and lost 29-3 while throwing 4 INTs. I'd rather have a QB who doesn't throw for 300 yards and leads the team to 37 points and a 17 point win than a guy who throws over 300 yards and loses by 26.
  7. This is why they give the Super Bowl numbers. Everyone knew what the OP meant. Just because ESPN lists the season by the year it starts doesn't make them correct. I've seen other sources refer to it as the 1990-91 season and all other NFL seasons that have made it to January & February using both years, just like the NBA & NHL. Both of you are both right & wrong.
  8. There was a banner that someone put up that said "Bo Knows The Raiders Suck". I think security came over and made them take it down.
  9. The money has been coming in on the Bills all week since Tuesday. I got the Bills at -5.5 @ -110 on Tuesday. I just looked at the casino odds where I bet the game & it's up to -6.5 @ -115. I didn't bet over/under.
  10. When Woody Johnson returns he's going to fire everyone, starting with his brother.
  11. He was a no-hit wonder. He was popular while he was sitting on the bench, but once he got in there he played his way out of the league, setting records for futility that still stand to this day. Now in his defense, Marangi has stated that the season he came in after Joe Ferguson had a season ending injury, Marangi had an arm injury that limited his ability to throw.
  12. If you scroll down the linked article you'll find another ex-Bill: QB Rob Johnson for Jacksonville. Terry Miller had a short stint in the USFL after his NFL days and eventually ended up in prison, sentenced to 2 years. I couldn't find anything about what he is currently doing, he's 63 now. https://oklahoman.com/article/2667607/terry-miller-sentenced-for-bank-fraud
  13. That's what I've got, although there may be some hope for the December 8th game. That week the Jets play the Dolphins & in past years in December when the Jets are really bad & they're playing a meaningless game against a bad or worse team than themselves, CBS has chosen to air the Bills when we play a much better matchup. If we win the next 2 of 3 to be 8-4 Ch 6 may lobby hard for the Bills game since the Ravens are among the league's top teams and a ratings draw over Jets/Dolphins.
  14. If you actually believe that bet Miami on the money line. Personally I think the Bills -5.5, which is the current line is a gift. I'll be heading to the casino this week.
  15. After seeing this question, I'm ready to label Bills Daily a bust.
  16. The Jets @ Washington, which ordinarily would be a CBS game, is on Fox & the Giants have a bye, so we're getting the Bills @ Miami game on Ch 6 in Albany. When I looked at my schedule in the NFL Record and Fact Book, it said the Jets were on CBS, but both my cable guide and the Albany Times Union has the Jets on Fox & the Bills on CBS this Sunday. So we're getting another game at home that I wasn't counting on.
  17. When I used to go to a lot of games & brought a radio with me WGR550 was on a delay to match the TV broadcast and WWKB1520 had the game live so that fans in the stands could listen. Since the game is in Cleveland, I don't know if the game will be on 1520 since there will be no fans in the stands at New Era who need to hear what they are seeing live.
  18. If you went through the archives you'll find the most unpopular guy in Buffalo is the OC . Then when they go elsewhere, they become the it guy in the league. Remember all the anti Greg Roman posts when he was here?. Now he's the genius behind Lamar Jackson in Baltimore. In Buffalo they called Kevin Gilbride "Kevin Killdrive". Then he went to the NYG and got a Super Bow ring . Amazing how they are always bums i Buffalo and heroes at their next stop. Maybe it's not the OC but what he's got to work with. If you told anyone the Bills would be 6-2 halfway through the season the fear would be Daboll would leave for a head coaching job at season's end. Yet now 6-2 isn't good enough for the Run the OC out of town crowd.
  19. So if they only beat losing teams they'll go 10-6 and make the playoffs with another year of growth and experience for Allen's development heading to an off-season with lots of cap space. Works for me.
  20. I guess the NFL already informed the Jets & Dolphins that their 12/8 game won't be getting flexed. ? One area of confusion about the week 16 game is the NFL has been all over the place when the deadline for the decision is. The Bills schedule that I printed before the season says after week 8 the decision will be made & we're already past that.
  21. That statement about my higher opinion was the pre-season opinion that I need to change as I need to change my preseason opinion of Baltimore. Overestimated the Jets, underestimated Baltimore.
  22. 14/20 for 160 yards gets it done on a very windy day. Everyone seems to forget that the winds can change a gameplan. More running, less throwing. If anything the game shows that the team learned that on a windy day they need to run the ball more than. The Bills had almost double the running plays they tried vs the Eagles and threw 41% fewer times vs Washington as they did the prior week vs Philadelphia. So anyone who quotes a stat line on a windy day & claims it won't work down the line needs to understand weather conditions better & be glad the Bills learned from the Eagles game to run more on a windy day.
  23. When I was out in California, we drove through Albany California and I was looking for a portal that could save me a full day of flying, but unfortunately I never found it.
  24. Teams always lose games they should win. Remember the 1992 Bills? They lost games to the Colts & Jets they had no business losing & it cost them home field. I remember the only road AFC championship game in the Super Bowl era was that year in Miami because of the 2 losses vs what at the time were bad teams.
