Dude, thanks for reminding me of that one. God, I love those. The submitted comments are just as hilarious. And then there was this gem from last year:

I find it odd that more people aren't bringing this up. And I don't see nearly enough parking in that plan.

These guys are learning a new system between them and the WRs, one based on steps and timing. Things are going to be rough at the start. I think Thad's got game, or at least the potential to be a solid backup. Guy didn't even have a pre-season last year. If he can cut down on the fumblies, I'm fine with him as a 2-4 week stopgap.

So is it safe to say that everybody here agrees EJ must prove himself after two seasons of play or he's a bust?

I know, I mean by round 3 we might have 15 bidders!

For crying out loud, Eli played more than 2 series because the first one was a 3-and-out, and the second one ended quickly with a sack/fumble turnover. Plus, they're installing a completely new offense. "Obviously" their group needed more work, they weren't going to let them finish the night that way.

Well, with Trump reportedly on the list for $1 billion, the trust will almost assuredly get what they are looking for -- a final sales price above $1 billion.

It would help if you at least tried to understand the sales process before posting these ridiculous statements.

This whole "opening up the bidding process again" bit, especially to the JBJ group, is making this sound like the whole bidding thing is not going as planned, and they're likely concerned about the low number of bids submitted. It almost makes me wonder if the initial reports of "many people" expected to bid on the team were just intentional plants in the media to help drive up interest (and price). It also makes me think that the commitment to Buffalo is a big part of the deal (not just the current lease). Otherwise, I'd expect to see a ton of people bidding, since the Bills should represent one of the cheapest NFL teams to come to market.

This comment has so much fail to it I can't even quantify it.

Well played, sir.

I think you should take a look at your username and take some of your own advice.

I think, as I recall, the idea is to have one finalist picked by the end of August. I'm not sure if I remember that correctly, though.

Well, I don't know if I'd go so far as to say Tuel is a quality NFL QB, but I do think with time he can be a successful backup QB. Mostly my point was that I think his physical skillset isn't as terrible as people seem to make it to be. I think his arm strength is pretty decent, and he was slinging it with nice velocity the other night. I also think he is a good athlete and can scramble quite well, as Collinsworth pointed out during the game. I actually think he can be fairly comparable with Fitz, given continued development, only with a slightly better arm.

I guess I'm one of the few who agrees with you.

Baloney.

We get it, you disagree with John. I think it's quite encouraging to see how strong both our offensive and defensive lines are becoming. When was the last time we could say that?

:lol:

During Eli Manning's third drive, when he went against the backups and drove the length of the field for a TD (mostly on running plays), Randell definitely looked lost. He was directly responsible for losing contain on two of the long runs. He may have done well the remainder of his time on the field, but I didn't watch him after that drive.

Well, here's about 9 minutes of highlights from last year showing quite a few of those passes you're looking for.

I want to know what the over/under is for threads tonight that state, "RELAX, THE SKY IS NOT FALLING!!"

Man I had to blink just to make sure I saw that right. I wondered if that graphic would pull you out from the shadows. Nice to see you again. I'm hoping the same, but hearing we may see a lot about JBJ in tomorrow's Buff News.

It's definitely not over. Buff News may have some new stuff on JBJ tomorrow.

The problem is that this is all just the same information being regurgitated by different writers. It's not like these are all separate sources providing independent confirmation. They're basically just taking the information from Wawrow's article and rehashing it for themselves.
