  1. After tonight the correct answer is Nick Mullins off SF's practice squad.
  2. The Bills ended up doing what NE wanted to do with Bojorquez : Take a punter who isn't NFL ready & give him a year to be coached up to where he can be a consistent NFL punter. It's obvious he's too inconsistent right now but has a lot of potential. NE wanted him redshirt him on the practice squad. We're now redshirting him the rest of the season on IR.
  3. He's under contract for the 2019 season, so he'll have a shot at the Super Bowl with next year's Bills team.
  4. I was listening & couldn't believe there was no delay. Since I was listening on the internet, did the cursing go over the air or just on the internet? There were at least 2 guys who cursed, the 2nd one throwing an f bomb. It was pretty funny hearing a guy crying on the air.
  5. I've been listening since noon. It went out for less than a minute a couple of times about 2 hours ago, but everything's been fine.
  6. When Oakland fired him, I thought he got a raw deal. After watching him on Hard Knocks, I thought Oakland was right because he's not head coaching material.
  7. It's so nice to see a sentence like this end in Boettger instead of Beane. There's too much criticism of the coach instead of the proper doubt about the other McDermott. From now on every time I'm about to get mad that someone is being overly critical of our coach, I'm going to pretend they're talking about the O-lineman & calm myself down.
  8. There is no evidence so far. The only thing that's regrettable are ignorant posts about any rookie before they've even played 1 season. There are people a lot smarter than you who have followed the NFL draft for years who concluded that the best QB to take in last year's draft was Josh Allen, included among them draft guru Dave Te' Thomas. I think a lot more of Dave Te' than someone who is coming to conclusions that we got the wrong QB because his flavor of the day beat one of the worst teams in the NFL after sucking for 58 minutes. https://www.bigblueview.com/2018/4/21/17264242/nfl-draft-report-josh-allen-cream-of-quarterback-crop-2018-nfl-draft-sam-darnold-josh-rosen NFL Draft Report: On potential, Josh Allen is cream of the quarterback crop 261 Grading the top QBs in the 2018 draft class By Dave-Te Thomas Updated Apr 21, 2018, 10:58am EDT
  9. Eli is done, you can't go by his past. Bortles was benched for Cody Kessler-hello. Allen is no worse than EJ was-your bias is showing.
  10. We do not have the worst QB situation in the league. You're just someone who isn't willing to give Allen a chance if you have reached this conclusion. We have a 1st round QB who is learning on the job and most people can expect him to get better. The other 2 QBs won't be here next year, but since we have the QB of the future on the team, we are much better off than teams with no future at QB. Let's look at the 2 worst QB situations in the league: #1 NY Giants: They're starting an over the hill Eli Manning who will be gone in a year or 2. His main backup is a past Bills reject Alex Tanney, now on his 9th NFL team, after being cut more times than Nicole Simpson. The 3rd stringer is a 4th round rookie who nobody knows what to expect out of. They have no present & no future. #2 Jacksonville: Blake Bortles was benched last week & replaced by Browns reject Cody Kessler. Those are the only 2 QBs they have & Bortles is a major drain on their cap. Definitely a worse situation than the Bills with Allen.
  11. Let's compare apples to apples. Each QB to each as rookies so far in draft order: Trubisky/Mayfield: Mayfield entered the lineup sooner than Trubisky & has performed better than Trubisky had done by week 8. Slight Advantage Mayfield Watson/Darnold: At this point, just prior to his season ending injury, Watson was playing great, Darnold has been a typical up & down rookie. Clear advantage Watson Mahomes/Allen: In 2017 Mahomes hadn't taken a snap yet. Allen has played the 1st 6 games starting & finishing 4 of them. He is now currently injured, out about a month. Allen has led his team to 2 victories, including a final drive vs Tennessee. Anyone who is writing Allen off as a bust is out of their friggin mind & most likely is trying to be proven right because they didn't want him in the 1st place. Based on the fact that Mahomes hadn't even played yet-HUGE ADVANTAGE ALLEN. Beathard/Rosen: This is a comparison that shouldn't really be made since we're talking a 3rd rounder who was not the 4th QB taken vs a top 10 1st rounder, but let's look at the right comparison 1st & get around to the Beathard/Rosen comp later. The 4th QB taken in 2017 was Kizer by Cleveland followed by Webb by the NYG & then Beathard. Kizer was named the starter and hadn't won a game before week 8 (and never did), subsequently he played poorly enough to get traded after 1 season, Webb was behind Manning and if he played at all it was mop up duty. Subsequently, Webb never started a game for NYG & got cut before his 2nd season. He's currently on the Jets practice squad. Beathard got the starter's job early in his rookie year but was nothing special and SF jumped at the opportunity to replace him with Garoppolo at the trade deadline. Rosen has started a few games & is having rookie growing pains. Still, he is starting & hopefully learning from his mistakes. No advantage to or against Rosen in comparison to Kizer/Webb/Beathard, although Rosen is looked at as a much better long term prospect than any of those three 2-3 rounders who were taken in QB order 4-5-6.
  12. Look at the prices for the last few games. If there are any people who usually can't afford to bring their kids, the late November and December games are selling for peanuts and they should be able to bring a family of 4 for the price of 1 cheap ticket.https://www.tickpick.com/buffalo-bills-tickets/
  13. I'm glad this is the only game on Monday, otherwise the nation outside of Buffalo & Boston would get switched to another game early in the 3rd quarter. However, I hear that ESPN has an old tape of Heidi just in case the game becomes totally unwatchable.
  14. There are lots of QBs on the street right now who are better than Peterman but don't have Kelly's baggage. Since Peterman knows the offense & the others don't he'll stay at least until Allen is ready to play. The last thing the Bills need is to bring in some problem child just because he's better than Peterman. I'd rather sign Davis Webb off the Jets practice squad than bring Kelly in.
  15. Obviously, he didn't show enough for Denver to feel a need to keep him. All he did was beat out Paxton Lynch, a bust who is still out of the league. If they thought much of Kelly, they never would have carried Hogan as an insurance policy as their 3rd stringer when most teams carry only 2 QBs. Kelly will never be a Bill, get over it.
  16. The Giants are going to make sure that no matter how hard Jon Gruden tries to tank this season, he will have to pry that #1 pick in the draft from Pat Shurmur's cold dead hands.
  17. Mr Whaley: I know you're bitter over your firing last year, but please, stop joining message boards and posting messages under different names that rail against your successors. Doug, you're better than this. Give it up already.
  18. Every coach with an injured rookie QB needs to be fired. The Rams & Bears new coaches each had 2nd year QBs who struggled in their rookie years and were already through their growing pains & then added key players that made them better. I'm waiting to see what next year looks like before I think about everyone's future in the Bills management. Marrone looked pretty bad yesterday, benching his QB for Cody Kessler & then getting all surly about it after the game. ...and Chan Gailey was the coach who punted on the opponent's 34 yard line. I don't ever want to hear about how Gailey was a good coach.
  19. 2nd year QB has to start. Get a better 2nd stringer, but nobody who you plan on starting.
  20. The map has now been updated to reflect the right game in Albany: UPDATES: Albany NY: NE-CHI to BUF-IND
