I also liked 2019. @Jets. Coming off 2018 rookie years Allen v Darnold. Darnold was the big favourite but Allen came out throwing only for Beasley to give them an pick 6 off his hands and we were down 16-3 going into the 4th. Josh led two 80 yard 4th Quarter drives to bring us back with the long winning touchdown pass down the left touchline to John Brown. Was the first day for me personally I thought "we have ourselves a quarterback."
I took a bus trip from Albany to that game. It was the 1st time I ever told anyone that Josh would end up in the Hall of Fame. A Jets fan on the bus was mocking Josh's accuracy, and I told him that Josh was better than Sam Darnold and that Josh would be a Hall of Famer. He just laughed at me, but as the years go by, I wonder if he remembers my prediction.

I think the 1980 opener against the Dolphins that ended 0- 70s and the goal posts came down.
That's my vote. It's the only time I've ever been on an NFL field. I didn't participate in the goal post coming down, but I was at the game with someone who wanted to take pictures from the field.
My 2nd favorite is a game the Bills got destroyed in. Opening day in Baltimore in a rainstorm, 9/9/18. I got to see Josh Allen's official debut as an NFL QB. As a bonus I also saw Lamar Jackson's 1st game. The Bills lost 47-3, but from the moment Josh Allen entered the game in the 3rd quarter, I had hope for better things in the future.

This was shocking to me.
That locker room is a goldmine of humor and slapstick competition that in itself could have created a dozen quality episodes.
Instead they chose to try to create overdrawn melodrama in a place where there is too much genuine character for that crap to exist.
The little I saw ended up being nothing more than a microcosm of the modern NFL; pushing fake manufactured drama instead of allowing organic entertainment to happen naturally.
Marv had the best take on the locker room at Jim Kelly's HOF induction:
Leadership, was he good in the locker room? Heck no, his locker was a mess! Our equipment managers Hojo and Woody were good in the locker room; Jim led by his actions out on the playing field.

Classy move by the bills leaving those cut conversations private.
I was disappointed they didn't show the ones where they told the guys who they wanted on the practice squad that if they cleared waivers they wanted them back.

Inside the NFL was must see TV in that era
Is Inside The NFL on this year? It's no longer on The CW where it was the last couple of years. Len & Nick were so good, I actually liked Nick after hating him when he was with the Dolphins. When they did the documentary after Nick's health was failing, I felt so bad for the guy.

They (Bills Media) don't break anything. No one was aware Carter tore his achilles? Unless he is the toughest human of all time you don't simply walk off the field. Might as well all be paid NFL employees at this point. Just an extension of the Bills PR department.The practice was most likely closed to the media.

Or else?
The people who always want more proof about valid stories end up looking foolish.
5 hours ago, chris heff said:No conspiracy, just found it odd that one guy reported this on a Sunday evening. It’s not personal.
Outside of the garbage I see on Facebook, people don't usually report fake stories that someone tore their achilles & is out for the season, especially a guy who outside of Bills Mafia is pretty obscure to the general public.

All the conspiracy theorists who were doubting the validity of the report need to knock it off.

It took Peyton Manning 9 seasons to get to & win his 1st Super Bowl. He had a similar problem that Josh has now. There was a guy named Brady & a coach named Belichick that kept him from getting there earlier in his career, just like Mahomes & Reid today.

2011 Mercedes C300: I haven't bought a car since 2010. Back then I went to the auto show in November in Albany & bought it in December from the same salesman I talked with at the show. Pretty easy, only model I wanted, only dealer in the area. Had all paperwork calculations from the internet before I went to the dealer & everything went pretty smooth. The car was in Long Island & the previous car I bought had been driven up from NJ. When I mentioned driving it up from LI, they said they don't drive them up, they transport it & don't add any miles. Took a hit on the trade-in, but I didn't want to be bothered trying to sell it myself, I did that back in 1986 & it was a chore.
2001 Audi A4: Bought in 2000, went through the internet with one of those best deal sites & had no problems. They drove the car up from NJ to meet the things I wanted on my car. I kept my old car for another 6 months as a winter/beater car then donated it.
1988 VW Golf: Bought in 1988 a few months after I moved to Albany. I hated my Mazda & traded it in. I got beaten up pretty good on the trade-in but needed to trade it in in order to roll what I owed after the trade-in value into my loan. I drove the VW Golf into the ground until 2001.
1986 Mazda 323: Bought in 1986, disaster. 1st I had a prior deal for a new VW Golf in December of 1985, but they never delivered the car because car prices rose and they wouldn't deliver the car unless I paid more than the agreed to price. After 5 months I got my deposit back & bought a Mazda 323. (A few years later those practices caught up with that VW dealer & they went out of business). I sold my 1979 VW Rabbit privately. I hated the Mazda because I was used to driving German cars which handled much better than the Mazdas in the 1980s did. About a year & a half in it got stolen and they wrecked the clutch & I had to replace the steering wheel lock they broke. The dealer gave me a low quote on the repairs & I told my insurance that I wouldn't be filing a claim, then when I got the bill, it was higher & if I had known, I'd have filed a claim. I wrote Mazda to complain & the dealer wrote me back offering a free oil change. Since I was already planning to move, I ignored their offer & never went back.
1979 VW Rabbit: Bought in August 1978 when the new models, made in the USA, came out. I was living in Connecticut but bought the car in Long Island near my parents' house. I had kept my legal address at my parents' house & wasn't going to register a car in Connecticut where there was a property tax on cars. I wanted to leave my old car at my parents' house & they refused. My father told the dealer if he didn't accept the trade, the deal was off because he was co-signing my loan. I got the car & brought it back to Connecticut, where I only lived until December & then went back to NYS.
1971 VW Beetle: My 1st new car after driving a used 1967 Plymouth Fury II from February-August. Privately sold the Plymouth-never bought another used car after that. My father negotiated the VW while I was already in Fredonia. I flew back to LI a couple of weeks after I left for college & picked up the car, never having driven a stick shift. I brought it back to Fredonia, stalling out at every toll booth & stop. I eventually got the hang of driving a stick & drove them for the next 40 years.

I miss the team media guide which you could buy at the team store. Not even sure the last time they offered them.
My last published media guide is from 2008. In 2009 I printed out the copy from a disk, but it was a lot of paper & I haven't printed out one since. The best I can do is provide this link to this year's media guide, which I will not be printing out. https://static.www.nfl.com/league/apps/league-site/media-guides/2025/BUF.pdf

They still have the 2024 one on NFL.com, but I found the 2025 on the link above.

I wonder what the worst way to be released would be?
That's easy. Making the 1st 53 man roster after cuts & getting cut a few hours later after the team puts in a waiver claim on a guy who plays your position.

I think Rob Johnson is the NFL's all-time leader in running out of bounds for a sack, instead of throwing the ball away and lowering his precious completion percentage. The Bills O-linemen used to love that...
I remember him getting sacked long before he could run out of bounds. Sacked more times than potatoes at a produce factory.

I still remember one guy on The Ringer who bashed Josh Allen when he was drafted & has spent the last few years begging for forgiveness.

My guess is Patrick Mahomes Sr. had a little too much to drink & just started shooting off a gun.

Absolutely, if a decent one becomes available.
Pickett or somebody like that would at least give you a chance to win a game if Josh was out. I don't have any confidence either of the guys we have could do that. I fear our offense would look like yesterday's preseason game.
Pickett or somebody like him makes Trubisky look like a Pro Bowler.

We should keep eye on Snoope Huntley.
The only team that should be keeping an eye on Huntley is the Albany Firebirds indoor team that just lost their starting QB to the UFL.

There was this woman who would call in and call him "Artie Baby Boom Boom"

After his WGR days he did some announcing at high school games. I went to a St, Francis HS game years ago and Artie was the stadium announcer.
