  1. Jets getting skewered for losing their kicker: https://thejetpress.com/ny-jets-accidentally-lose-starting-kicker-spencer-shrader-boneheaded-mistake-01jcpbnqm0cj
  2. Instead of blaming coaches for ruining QBs, blame the scouts & GMs who over-drafted them. It's amazing how many people think numerous bad QBs were ruined when they never had NFL talent to begin with. A lot of QBs just can't play at the next level, but GMs & scouts miss what becomes obvious once the guy goes up against grown men in the NFL. Then when the coach sees how bad they are in practice & games and bench them so they won't lose the locker room, the fans and media cry that the QB is being ruined, when in reality, he is a bust. The 1st ones to notice that are the coaches who see them about 5 days a week during the season. Then there are the QB busts with overinflated opinions of themselves who get drafted way too high. Best examples are lazy bums/head cases like Leaf, Russell, Manziel, and Rosen. They never made a true effort to improve their games. Then there are the undersized guys like Young & C.Williams who get drafted #1 and are quickly surpassed by the normal sized QBs taken after them. PS: Good examples of bad scouting & GMs: The Bills drafting JP Losman & EJ Manuel. Both got benched early in their careers by coaches who had seen enough to say No Mas.
  3. Nobody should be thanking Gettleman as some have done earlier in the thread. Chances are if he hadn't taken Barkley at 2 and picked a QB instead, he would have most likely selected Sam Darnold, who the Jets picked with the next pick, & then the Jets would still have probably taken Rosen before Allen since they're the Jets. The worst thing the Giants did was re-sign Jones to ridiculous money. My 1st reaction was these were the same guys who were in Buffalo when the Bills decided Tyrod Taylor wasn't good enough & they learned nothing from that experience. However, in their defense, the year they re-signed Jones the QB draft was really bad with only CJ Stroud at 2 being worth drafting (plus Young & Richardson were gone long before the Giants could even consider trading up after making the playoffs). The best thing they could have done was not re-signing Jones & going with a veteran free agent (possibly Tyrod, who was on the roster last year) and then doing everything possible to move up in the 2024 draft-or sat back & taken Penix, McCarthy, or Nix instead of only wanting one of the top 3 QBs taken (as shown on Hard Knocks).
  4. The good news is the game will end soon & not conflict with the start of the Bills game.
  5. How can Daboll go without sending Schoen with him? Anybody associated with the Jones contract needs to go.
  6. His name could be Smith & most of us wouldn't know the difference.
  7. If he stays unemployed, will he go into hock?
  8. The Bills won a game that way on 12/2/2007: 2007 Bills at Washington Joe Gibbs called an illegal timeout that gave Rian Lindell a shorter field to kick the game-winner.
  9. I went to a 49ers game in 2022 & paid around $500 for 3 tickets in the 2nd level sidelines, near the endzone. The mass transit is pretty good, drive to a train station & shuttle right to the stadium. When I went to the Super Bowl there, we did a park & ride about a half hour from the stadium & bused in. There really is no need to park there.
  10. He hangs the ball out like a loaf of bread so everybody can eat.
  11. https://nypost.com/2024/10/26/sports/jeff-maier-got-to-relive-his-fan-interference-drama-all-over-again-28-years-later/
  12. He & Tre White have the same trade value-none.
  13. Now I understand why the Jets are favored😀 From today's Buffalo News sports pages: Texans bench Richardson
  14. I'm shocked the Jets are favored on Thursday. Are the Texans down to no receivers?
  15. Best Jets line I've seen in a while. The comment was about the punishment the Yankees fans who tried to steal the ball out of Betts glove deserve: Their punishment should be front row seats to the Jet game on Thursday. That’ll teach ‘em!
  16. Just because he wasn't a top 3 QB in 2019 didn't make him bad. Here's a pretty honest short assessment of him for the 2019 season: 18 Josh Allen Buffalo Bills · QB Individual Rank: Bhanpuri: 18 | Blair: 19 | Filice: 17 | Parr: 18 2019 regular season stats: 16 games | 58.8 pct | 3,089 pass yds | 6.7 ypa | 20 pass TD | 9 INT | 510 rush yds | 9 rush TD | 4 fumbles lost Filice: Still far from a finished product, the cannon-armed, fleet-footed 23-year-old showed substantial improvement in Year 2. And he continued to flash a clutch gene, tying for the league lead in fourth-quarter comebacks (4) and game-winning drives (5). https://www.nfl.com/news/qb-index-ranking-every-quarterback-to-start-a-game-in-2019-0ap3000001101720
  17. Josh wasn't bad his 1st two seasons-stop looking at stats & go back & watch the video. In his 1st season he had just about the worst O-line in team history, and his receivers weren't much better, yet he willed the team to a .500 record in games he started & finished (I still blame Peterman for losing the Houston game). As a rookie he made Robert Foster look like a legitimate NFL receiver, something no other QB has ever done. In his 2nd year, he led the team into the playoffs. Yes, he had some problems on deep balls, but to say he was bad his 2nd season is just absurd.
  18. I don't know, I think the Giants are trying to field a team of 53 ex-Bills. When I saw Matt Haack punting for the Giants last night, I figured Daboll & Schoen believe their team needs to be one big Bills reunion.
  19. Elam & a 2025 7th gets you a 2025 6th.
  20. Ice cream sundae would be nice.
  21. Called it: Top of page 2. I couldn't link it so I copied my response. It's on page 99 as of 10/29/24. Who Will End Up Being The Bigger QB Bust? - Page 2 - The Stadium Wall - Two Bills Drive Albany,n.y. Community Member 8.9k Location:Delmar, N.Y. Posted August 10, 2023 Anthony Richardson. The comparisons with Josh because they're physically similar are ridiculous. Should have stayed in college like Josh did in 2017.
  22. I thought the same thing when I was watching the Jets/NE game.
  23. The only reason he was a late round pick was he signed with the USFL before the NFL draft. Getting back to QBs coming back from busting, we might have to add Winston to the list if he continues to play like he did yesterday for Cleveland.
  24. Zuerlein will be out of the league tomorrow, maybe even tonight.
