  1. Its football. That's why we have 80 guys still on the roster. We will be fine come opening day. All teams have lots of guys on the injury report during training camp. The physicality of practices in today's game is nothing compared to yesteryear. I doubt they run the Oklahoma drill any longer. That was wicked. I remember when they used to do it in my son's Pee Wee practices. They would just beat the hell out of each other. LOL The game has certainly changed.
  2. Kevin Harlan is excellent. But for excitement and energy, it is hard to beat Gus Johnson... He could make a game between the Jets and Jags feel like its the Super Bowl. Getting Charles Davis as analyst for the opener is good.
  3. If you have You Tube TV all of the hilites of the preseason games are on in 10-15 minute clips.
  4. Great point Greg S. Along those lines I was watching a 60 minute condensed version of the 1998 Alamo Bowl last nite between Purdue (w a very young Drew Brees) and Kansas State (w Michael Bishop at QB). It was an amazingly entertaining game I had recorded off of the Big 10 Network last summer. (A Purdue Classic. LOL) I was watching w my girlfriend's 23 year old son who was spending the nite. The game was tremendously exciting. But the hitting was off the chain. Guys were flying helmet first on almost every play. Receivers and backs were getting absolutely drilled. My girlfriend's son thought there could have been at least 5 or 6 targeting penalties with today's rules. He had never seen football played this way. He was amazed. And there was not one unnecessary roughness penalty called the entire game. Dam the game has changed over the past two decades!!
  5. Nice idea. Fromm is well thought of here in Georgia. And the Falcons are in deep trouble if Franks ever has to play. (He was terrible against Miami on Saturday nite. And he was pretty bad in college to be honest about it) But a 4th round pick is not going to happen for Jake Fromm at this point in his career. I saw the play where AJ got hit. Did he tear his ACL?
  6. I agree that we are done w the Dukester. Here is an interesting question? Who is a better NFL WR, Zay Jones or Duke Williams? Or are either really NFL caliber receivers?
  7. Can't get rid of Stevenson. Guy has top end speed. Those guys are tough to come by. Kumerow is solid and will probably contribute in spots. And Hollister looks like a solid NFL player as well. We have a lot of talent on offense. But you can never have too much. Not sure why a guy like Duke Williams is even in camp. He is slow has no explosion and marginal hands. No need to keep a guy like that on the practice squad. The Duke Williams experiment needs to end.. It should be very interesting getting down to the final 53. Go Bills.
  8. Reggie White, LT, Bruce and Ray Lewis. The modern NFL defensive Mt Rushmore. And we can squeeze Ronnie Lott on the lower tier of the mountain. Safety used to be such a position of violence. Wow, remember Lott, Steve Atwater, John Lynch, David Fulcher, Kenny Easley, Brian Dawkins, etc. Good grief receivers used to have it rough. Just goes to show how great Jerry Rice was putting up the numbers he did in the era he played.
  9. McGinnest Harrison Seymour and Wilfork should all be in the Hall of Very Good. None should be in the HOF. Ty Law played at my alma mater Michigan. So I guess I am a little more biased to him. But while he was good, I never thought he was all world. Vinatieri is the best of all of them. And he played over half his career with the Colts. the HOF has been watered down w too many selections. It should be for the absolute best of the best. The Patriots mentioned while very good, were not that.
  10. If Lawrence is as good as everybody thinks (and I thought he was good in college, but not the best QB to ever play college football as some want to bring the hyperbole about) then he should beat out Minshew fair and square. As for Peterman, is he still on the Raiders?
  11. Agree about the upgrade at CB2. Levi isn't bad. And Jackson seems like a gamer who hopefully has a lot of upside. But Wallace is not overly athletic, and while he can tackle well, he has trouble staying w speed receivers and has to give a lot of cushion. To really compete for the Super Bowl I think we need someone a little more talented then Levi at CB2. The Bills did not make a lot of changes to last years roster. (We did go 15-4 overall) However, I hope if Jackson shows that he can consistently make plays that they don't just start Levi ahead of him, because they are more comfortable with him out there.
  12. Not to Milano Feliciano and Daryl Williams. They all likely took less from the Bills to stay in a good situation for themselves. (Especially Milano) Then test the free agent market. If you are a free agent and your team (say the Bills) are offering good money, but not ridiculously good money. And say the Jaguars and maybe the Lions are offering 10% more. I think a whole lot of guys are going to stay with the Bills than jump to a crap team.
  13. Steve Tasker was one of the greatest special teams players of all time. And a pretty solid WR. He gave his blood sweat and tears to the Bills. Was an excellent analyst for CBS, and is a great ambassador for the team....Period. So he is not 100% up to the speed on the nuances of the salary cap. SO WHAT!!
  14. Edmunds has not even been very good, let alone elite. (I don't want to hear he made two Pro Bowls. Big deal. The proof is on the field. And he has not been a stud) I would not have picked up his 5th year option. But lets see what he can do when he is healthy. Its time for him to dominate. He does that he will get his long term deal. Fingers crossed.
  15. I think that is a great analysis of Kurt Warner Buffalo 03. I loved his game. His first season with the Rams is one of Legend. Didn't he throw for over 300 yards and 3TD's in his first 3 games. The way he threw a football was a thing of beauty. Also a great leader and seemed to be a real good guy. He was as good as anyone who played the position during his career.
  16. the dude is way too light at 6'5 255. He is going up against guys his height who are at least 60-70 pounds heavier then him. WTH is going on there? My son is about 6'1 and a half and around 255 or so going into training camp at Georgia Southern this year playing DE. I would think AJ should be pushing at least 270. Its a big man's game. We don't need our D Lineman looking like NBA forwards.
  17. Wow that is harsh from a business economic sense. I wonder how many college programs if valued in a similar way would be higher then the Bills...
  18. Anyone hear anything about Tommy Sweeny? The kid showed some good stuff in 2019. Maybe he steps up and shines this year.
  19. Coaches aren't supposed to get in players' faces and cuss them out when needed? Tell that to Nick Saban. From what I heard Joe Judge did an excellent job last year for the Giants.
  20. I hate agents. A lot of these players should negotiate their own contracts. Some of them got to learn something in college. The NFL was fine before Zach Wilson ever showed up. And it will keep going whether he plays a down or not. Every time a new QB comes into the league, its like they are going to be the best of all time. (How about that all you Tua lovers?) If the Jets are playing hardball differently then all the other teams are with their top draft picks, then shame on them. If the agent is trying to hold the Jets up, then !@#$ Wilson's agent. That being said. Its nice the Bills don't have these problems any longer.
  21. Who is Beasley hating on? Why should he be cut? The guy is a great football player... He doesn't have to love his teammates and they don't have to love him. Its all about winning football games when they get on the field between the lines. These guys are all professionals. They will get down to business once training camp starts. The offseason is so Dam long in football, leaves too much time for players to say stupid things. But my God don't most of you have lives including having to work, run companies and businesses, raise families, go to the gym, church, etc? Way too much attention given to what everyone says. I just want to watch and read about what's going on the field. I have never gone on Social media. And never intend to. I can barely get along with a lot of you on here, let alone with all the self aggrandizing fools on all the other social media pages. My girlfriend says if I went on Facebook I would be fighting with people all day long. No time for that. Life is too short for all that nonsense. See you all when training camp is full steam ahead.
  22. We are a better offense when Josh is running off of scrambles. He has been super dynamic with those kinds of runs over his 3 year career. He is a big boy and can take a hit, and give one out as well. I don't like him running out of the read option, unless its near the goal line where he is almost unstoppable. The pre planned runs by Josh against the Colts did not work very well except down near the goal line late in the 1st half on what I thought was the best drive of the 2020 season. 96 yards in about a minute and a half. Tremendous.
  23. Teams barely seem to practice hard in training camp anymore. At least not full contact. And no more two a days. Most joint practice sessions turn into all out brawls anyways. Who needs that?? We have 3 preseason games to get in the groove and work out the kinks. I am sure will be ready to steamroll the Steelers and their overrated coach, QB and entire roster for that matter come September.
  24. Meh. He has been decent at best. That defensive effort last year on Thanksgiving or Christmas against the Saints was about as bad of a defensive performance I saw last year. Right up there w the Lions against Tampa late in the season. Doesn't seem like much of a motivator. (Seemed a lot more passionate years ago as DC with the Cowboys) With Kirk Cousins as your starter you really don't know what you are going to get from week to week. Same with the Vikings, and many teams for that matter. I like McDermott a whole lot better then Zim. For what its worth the best Zimmer was good old Popeye. Loved that guy chugging out of the dugout looking like he would explode out of his uniform. And he tried to fight Pedro back in 2003 at Fenway. How awesome was that!!
  25. I thought they wrote well and brought great perspective covering Buffalo sports teams for many years. Everyone can't be Mitch Albom, Dick Schaap or Dr Z.
