    If Lamar wins it will be the second time he has won it over Josh with half the stats.  Does anyone actually buy Lamar as MVP?

    Come On Man!

    Here's the real story.  Lamar won it in 2019 & his stats towered over Josh on paper.

    Lamar 2019:

    66.1% comp %, 36 TDs 9INTs, QB rating 83.0, 1206 rushing yards, 7 TDs.

    Josh 2019 

    58.8 comp %, 20 TDs, 9 INTs, QB rating 49.4, 510 rushing yards, 9 TDs

    I’m guessing you paid that little back in the 90s. You aren’t touching tix for under a few thousand now. Even last minute I feel like it’s not happening. 

    I was checking this year's prices.  They were $10-11,000 the week of the championship games, early this week they were down to around $8,000 get in price.  Here's the current lowest price ticket on NFL on Location.  Their 15% fee is lower than a lot of others, so when you see a low price before fees the fees could be as high as 25-30%

  4. I've been to 6.  The 4 Bills ones in the 90s, SBXLVIII & SB50. 

     

    1st one I went with the Disney package. I got a cheap flight to Orlando, got a rental car, stayed Thurs night & Monday night in Orlando & Fri-Monday morning at the Bill-Mar hotel in Treasure Island.  

     

    2nd one my friend Petrino (old poster here) won the lottery and I got a ticket at face value. I got the flight & motel through Travel USA & had to fly out of Buffalo. 

     

    3rd one Petrino won his 2nd straight lottery, we got a super saver flight to LA, split motel, & rental car prices & brought the whole thing in for about $750 each,

     

    4th one we went with Travel USA/Santos Tours out of Buffalo.

     

    5th one I went to was XLVIII at Met-Life. The ticket prices were the lowest in years because the corporate people didn't want to sit outside in February in NJ.  I drove down the day of the game, parked at the Stub Hub parking, shuttle bussed to the game & back, and had a motel room in Ramsey NJ.  Unfortunately, when I got back to the motel, I found out a snow storm was coming.  I woke up at 4, showered & was out of there by 4:30.  I was home in about 2 hours & went back to bed. 

     

    6th one was SB50 in Santa Clara.  I have relatives in the Bay area & promised I'd go to the game with my nephew.  He drove to Freemont, we took a bus to the game & back to Freemont & then I stayed at his house when we got back.

    Dan Quinn hiring his own staff especially OC and DC is SOP for a HC change

    At the least it’s more common than not

     

    But

     

    What’s intriguing about this, is that 1) Sam Howell showed promise 2) The Commanders own the #2 pick 3) Kingsbury just spent last season coaching Caleb Williams at USC (Kingsbury was his QB coach)

     

    So….what will happen there?

    Howell really didn't show much promise. In fact, he was benched at the end of the season, but then Jacoby Brissett got injured and they had to send Howell back out there when they had already given up on him.

    Most embarrassing day? When some idiot threw the Billdo on the field. 

    2nd place goes to the guy who threw the snowball in Chuck Foreman's face.

    3rd place goes to the guy who slid down the upper deck railing and fell off. We can be better than that, no?

    You left out the high wire act on Monday Night Football in 1975 

    https://sportshistorynetwork.com/football/nfl/monday-night-football-fan-hanging-on-rope/

    With so many fans across the airwaves watching the game, practically anything that happened during those three hours was going to be discussed along the next day’s work conversations all throughout the country. Well, what happened during the course of this game was in point of fact incredible…and extremely dangerous. An intoxicated fan…I say intoxicated, because no sober person would do what this moron did…decided to take a hold of the rope which held the placekicking net in place along the west end line of the stadium.

    The spectacle of this unnamed fan dangling at least 50 feet in the air above the playing surface while the game continued was unnerving, to say the least.
    Even the ABC-TV crew chimed in while watching this spectacle.

    Howard Cosell, a wordsmith for the ages, described this event as “…dangerous, disgraceful, and absurd.”

    The fan hung on that rope, as the fans and players watched. Many gasps could be heard over the airwaves, and certainly they were soundly heard by those who were in attendance and who were doing the gasping.

    This crazy fan hung on that rope for practically 10 full minutes until he somehow miraculously made it back to his departure point on the front row of the upper ledge of Rich Stadium. He then departed the stadium with several police and security personnel giving him a much-deserved escort.

  7. SEDALIA, Mo. (Gray News) – A group of seniors at a retirement community in Missouri is proving you’re never too old to be a Swiftie.

    In a video posted Friday, residents at the Primrose Retirement Community in Sedalia dressed in Kansas City Chiefs gear and held signs in support of Taylor Swift.

    Sedalia is located about 90 miles east of Kansas City.

    The group calls themselves the Primrose Sedalia Chiefs Cheerleaders.

    Eh, he's a fine coach.  Like everything in the NFL, if the Commanders hit on their QB selection (Maye or Daniels?), Quinn will succeed and survive the length of his contract.

    QBs always make the coach.  A lot of fans have it backwards.  That's why I say a lot more QBs ruin coaches than coaches ruin QBs.

    I will say it seemed like WGR was pretty down on JA. Which made me think about how I didn't want JA drafted by the Bills.

     

    (If someone remembers it being different, please let me(us) know 🙂)

    Here was the morning guys reaction. 

     

    I remember Schopp was down on Josh for years.

    He's worth a late-round pick.  He is good enough to be a backup QB in the league and there's some value in that.  While he can start games and have a good performance here or there, he's certainly not a "franchise" quarterback.  He became a star at Alabama because he was surrounded by talent that was far superior to that of the opposing team.  See AJ McCarron (except AJ gets extra consideration for his better half).

    The same can be said for Zach Wilson, who can get hot occasionally.  Funny how both got hot vs the Bills this season.

    I know people are gonna joke here, but I don't want a DC in the division who knows Allen that well and can tell McDaniels about what he expects McDermott to do.  

    Has anyone been able to stop Josh other than himself?  When Josh has a bad game, it's rarely, if ever, because of the opponent's DC.

    Still a bit rich for a cap strapped team.  Bunch of bad teams out there need backup QBs though, and he at least has played some snaps.  

    Cleveland picked up a portion of Mayfield's salary when they traded him to Carolina.  NE might get stuck doing the same thing.  It's guaranteed, so that really hurts any trade value.

    I'm going to go in person. I've noticed that a ticket is just upwards of $7,000 on stubhub - which is cheap at twice the price for someone who is indifferent to both teams at best. I'll check hotels and flights now. 

     

     

    It's actually just a tick under 10 grand when you add in the fees.  

     

    When I thought the Bills were going to make it, I bought a round trip flight from Oakland to Las Vegas the day of the game.  I had planned to fly into Oakland on the 9th & return to Albany on the 13th.  I was going to have my sister drop me off for an 8:00-9:30 AM flight to Vegas & pick me up from a 10-11:30 PM flight after the game.  It was the right idea since the flight options went up by about $200 and then sold out by last week, since the 49ers fans were thinking of doing the same thing.  I ended cancelling the flight & up getting a credit that I can use towards a future flight.  At least all I had done was bought the gameday flight.  Last year I had to cancel flights, rental car, motel reservation, & parking. 

     

    I was checking out ticket prices & the lowest after fees were in the $9-10k area.  Now I won't be having a 10 grand credit card bill and will have saved around $11k.

    I’m not sure what your response to me has to do with my response. Have you ever  heard Jackson needs to be more if a decisive runner to make him a great QB? That’s what I am referring to. Not running styles.

    It was a general reply to both your & what you quoted about them running.  Not really a direct reply to either one of you, more just expanding thoughts on the overall topic of both of them as runners.
