Albany,n.y.

After the Cleveland game Tasker said on the TV broadcast he favored Peterman to start opening day. This whole week, all Tasker has been doing on his WGR show with Murphy is shill for Peterman. He's talked up Peterman more than the guy's agent would if he had a radio show.

I don't think so. I think he was too uncertain about the injury and his plan all along was to do whatever it took to draft Allen. It wasn't a well kept secret that the Bills wanted Allen. I've read that Cleveland didn't want Allen but knew the Bills did and floated rumors they were going to take Allen at #1 presumably to see if the Bills offered a king's ransom for the #1 pick. The Bills had a deal with Denver to pick Allen at 5 provided B. Chubb wasn't still on the board, it died when Cleveland passed on Chubb at 4. If Cleveland was smart (they never are) they would have drafted Allen at 4 and had the Bills by the footballs. Beane would have had to trade with Cleveland at a huge disadvantage, since Allen was his guy.

I loved seeing Gregg go nuts when Allen threw the TD to Streater.

Houston will win the game outright. Week 1 upset special. The time to beat NE is September.

Thanks. I saved it using the print to PDF in Windows 10.

Any way without Pro?

Does anyone know how to save the yearbook to a PDF?

We fans weren't the only ones with little faith in Reich entering the 1989 season. He had been exposed to the rest of the league in Plan B free agency and there were no takers. Getting back to the original premise of this thread: If Allen and Peterman are to become the next Kelly/Reich duo, they need to reserve a special table for Friday lunches at the Orchard Park Café.

JP sat his entire rookie year except for mop up duty in 4 games. His 1st game, he looked horrible. Are you saying he shouldn't have played a down? The truth is, the guys who failed never would have been any good even if they sat for a decade, like Todd Collins did in KC & Washington before having some good games 10 years after his last game as a Bill. If JP had sat for 10 years, we could have unleashed a monster on the NFL. Come to think of it, it's been close to a decade since JP left the NFL-he should be ready now for anyone willing to give him one more chance. The light finally has come on for him, he has great potential now.

Rodgers was behind a HOF QB, nobody will ever know if he came in day 1 that he wouldn't have lit it up. He didn't need 3 years to learn, circumstances kept him on the bench because Favre kept jerking GB around until they finally had enough & handed the keys to Rodgers. If Favre had retired or gotten himself traded earlier, most likely Rodgers would have been ready. Who knows if Mahomes needed last year on the bench or not, or if he'll ever be any good.

Take a look at the QB league wide depth charts. The Bills QBs have fewer starts combined than any other NFL team. Every other team has either a starter who has started many games or a backup who has. Some teams are guaranteed to keep 3. Just like the Bills, the Giants have 2 QBs drafted in 2017 & 2018, neither one is getting cut. They're keeping 3 and they have the veteran starter. Most of the teams that have a rookie QB will end up keeping 3 QBs. http://www.ourlads.com/nfldepthcharts/depthchartpos/QB

Most teams that keep 2 have at least 1 veteran with a bunch of NFL starts. We need to sign a 3rd QB for the rest of preseason & if he is a veteran who looks good, McCarron goes on IR & if the 3rd preseason QB is just a body, either IR McCarron with designation to return later or keep him active if the injury is healing quickly & just inactivate him on gamedays early in the season. Any way you play it the Bills need 3 QBs since there is no seasoned veteran on the roster. BTW in 2000 NE had 4 QBs on the roster because their 6th rounder, a raw rookie named Tom Brady showed enough that they didn't want to lose him, so veteran Drew Bledsoe had 3 backups that year. Most would have called their coach nuts for having 4 QBs, instead they call him a genius.

Management knows Anderson from their days together in Carolina. Big advantage over Kaepernick, who they don't know.

It would be a better cap move to IR him than to let him go. If the Bills want to carry only 2 QBs, they now have a reason to put AJ on IR. This was posted before I read about the collar bone break. Now it's a legit IR with designation to return, in case another QB goes down later in the season.

We got lucky that Denver didn't want him, the Giants wanted Barkley & Cleveland had 2 picks in the top 4 and could only take 1 QB. With Indy expecting Luck back & looking to protect him, 7 was a great place to trade up to. The original deal was our 2 #1s to Denver unless Chubb was available. When Cleveland left Chubb on the board, it saved us our other #1. Of the teams that picked before #7, of the teams that didn't draft a QB, only Denver can look back in regret. John (Paxton Lynch) Elway is no QB scout. A couple of weeks ago I looked up the final mock drafts. Most of the ones I saw had the Bills trading up for Allen, but just about all before pick 7. The word was out who the Bills wanted, but nobody had the draft ammo to beat us out for Allen, or like Denver, simply didn't want him. If he plays like we're hoping Beane will be on the Wall some day in the future.

It depends on how he does tonight.

AJ starts

They show the entire game. The game is scheduled to end at 7.

You're right that it would be a huge mistake putting Allen with the 2's today START HIM!!! Realistically, why do you think he's been practicing with the 2s? Most likely he comes in 2nd, but I want him to start even though all evidence says he'll be 2nd man in.

Whitten just showed he knows nothing about the Bills. He said he was surprised that the Bills traded Tyrod Taylor. I think the only people around here that were surprised that the Bills traded Taylor were surprised by the fact he was tradable, not that the Bills jettisoned him. Jason Whitten is a raw rookie announcer who needs to watch without a microphone when the preseason ends & learn from the veterans. ?

Tyrodian performance without the QB runs for yardage.

My top contender for 1st firing is Dirk Koetter in Tampa, especially with the Winston suspension. I don't think Jackson will be fired until after the season because hiring either of his 2 coordinators as interim HC would cause a full scale locker room revolt & Gregg would need a bodyguard if he was chosen . My top candiates after Koetter & Jackson, who is being exposed on Hard Knocks as proving the Raiders smart for dumping him when at the time it appeared too soon, are: Adam Gase-he needs a winning season to make it to 2019 Todd Bowles-too many gameday mistakes will not be forgiven. I think the Jets will be looking for a QB whisperer to develop Darnold long term. Jay Gruden-how many mediocre seasons can this guy survive? My final hot seat guy is someone nobody has on their list yet-Matt Patricia. The reason I included him is that after he was hired, it was revealed that he was accused of a sexual assault years ago. Now he was never charged & has claimed innocence, but if Detroit fails to make the playoffs again they may use it as an excuse to make him a one & done HC.

NFL-No. However, he might get a shot in the new league (Alliance of American Football) if it lasts long enough to fire a coach or 2. They've got some interesting names coaching those teams, the old ball coach Steve Spurrier & Mike Martz are among them.

I wish I could remember that day so well. I looked up that day & saw it was a 4:05 game, so I checked out the Jets boxscore to make it look real. The Jets really did dominate Carolina that day. With the exceptions of the times & the commercial, most of that probably happened since I usually do eat a frozen personal pizza before watching the 1:00 game.

The article was going along well until the writer said EJ beat out Kolb. Kolb got a career ending concussion in preseason & was on IR before September. That's not getting beat out by EJ, that's getting beat up & out of the NFL.
