  1. I would think that the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th stringers getting to play in the hall of fame game gave them a pretty big leg-up on the Bills' backups.
  2. The two biggest gaffes that led to his firing were 11 guys on the field, and the 2 Cover 0 blitzes.
  3. I'd be shocked if cleveland got a superbowl. I do think an indoor stadium makes more sense in Cleveland than buffalo. It's a bigger city and they should be able to pull more frequent marquee events (although the competition for those is pretty untenable at this point). It is also a better and more centralized market for larger and more frequent ncaa events. As an aside, they didn't need a roof for Summerslam
  4. I am rooting for him. Good guy and Buffalo Bill. However, I wonder how he is going to be when game-time happens. From experience, it was really difficult to come back and put equal pressure/responsibility on my injured knee. It took a lot of time to finally "trust" it mentally. This seems to be something that White struggled with for awhile after his first injury. Rehab and getting it to 100% is fairly quick. It's that getting into (NFL-level) game speed that is really tough. I cringe thinking about someone at that position (CB) coming back from an ACL reconstruction. I would think achilles isnt that different. CB is the toughest for this, because a player needs to react to the WR in coverage. Any other position can compensate/brace for movement that they are dictating. I could see this being a huge deal for a CB.
  5. While some teams probably lament the top of that draft (Browns, Jets, Giants, maybe Colts), its probably a lot worse for Broncos fans. That ended up a bad pick, and Allen really fits that franchise and locale. Allen was a pretty controversial pick at the time. A few days before the draft there was a big Allen to the Browns 1OA rumor and they were getting killed for it. Our fan base was really split over the choice. I had thought the Bills had been out-foxed by the Jets for Darnold, who is the guy the Bills really wanted (I still wonder if he was their most preferred QB). Really happy they didnt take Rosen, and he was the only thing I was sure of at the time. That guy was not a fit here at all, personality-wise.
  6. and 8th in the AFC. Im not sure what choice Miami really had here. Their window is now, and the alternatives are probably a downgrade from Tua. 4 Years is actually a manageable term. IMO if Tyreek Hill ever gets injured, that offense is going to short-circuit in an epic way.
  7. Great news and progress for her getting out there. Its tough to see. The last time we saw her, she was such a strong woman. This news of her health really hit me watching the video.
  8. This. It is Cashman and Hank. I feel like the Yankees are behind the times with team-building. They seem to be stuck between their 'brute-force' acquiring and paying players and also not. If you are going to pay, go all-out Dodgers. If not, maybe let Judge walk and use that money to fill 3-6 spots in the lineup/bullpen. Im a Cleveland fan. The amount of smart building they do, and have done over the years is mind-boggling. They are like a pitching factory, and they seem to trade players at the perfect time and get players in return who contribute in a few years time. Kluber, Clevinger, Bauer, even Lindor. The Yankees seem too tempted by and willing to keep paying players on their back-stretch. Data says the Yankees draft and develop well. Why isnt it translating? Or is the bar just too high? These collapses that seem to happen every year hurt perception. I like Boone. I feel like he is well respected amongst players, and he is basically a by-the-binder manager, which is and should be fine.
  9. I get annoyed when you see pre-season predictions (in any sport) and its basically a carbon-copy of the previous season. The Jets is a tough pick for the Super Bowl IMO. I also think the Packers-love is over-the top. The jets need to leapfrog several good teams in the AFC alone. Buffalo, Baltimore, Miami, Houston, KC, Cincinnati, Cleveland, and jacksonville. Can also include Pittsburgh in there who never seems to want to go-away. I do think the Jets can make some noise, but as we know, it is a brutal conference to get out of. I would eat my hat if the Jets are going to waltz in and be the team to up-end the Chiefs, especially on the road in the AFCC.
  10. It was horrible. We tried it one time with a large group we had on a bus. It was overpriced and more hassle than it was worth. We did it again this year (which isnt Tailgate Guys or whatever it was called), and it was even worse. Basically cordoned us off in a mostly empty lot. We might as well have been tailgating on the moon
  11. I agree with this. Even Sal would probably laugh if someone suggested he take that job. Murphy I thought was pretty bad. I didn't like how he would repeat things 3-4 times, and he skimped on giving details (down, distance, how far a pass travels, etc). Touchdown! Its a touchdown! Touchdown Buffalo! and the Bills score. I like John Murphy as a person and professional though, and watch games in person or on TV 99% of the time, so I really didnt mind him.
  12. Yeah, they should do better. Brown is OK as a fill-in, but not a permanent PbP guy. He sounds like a DIII College pbp guy. Dunleavy for the Sabres is actually pretty good. he has a few deficiencies that get under my skin (some annoying nicknames and calling players by their first name only at times). Overall, he has a good voice for hockey and has a good cadence. I remember when the Pegula outfit was grooming Kevyn Sylvester for the next Sabres pbp guy. Oooooof. Things could be so much worse. Luckily the Sabres had Ted Black as president at the time, who would reach out to fans. They did a survey on their media, and learned that hatred of Sylvester was pretty much unanimous.
  13. It's a sad one. She took on her fight with courage and dignity. I was never a watcher of her shows, but she entertained and touched the lives of millions in that way, and that's pretty cool.
  14. Our winters now are constant 40 degree weather, with 2 major snow events
  15. Things like this used to bother me and get under my skin. He isn't entirely wrong though. While south Florida isn't my cup of tea, buffalo, even with all it's charms and acquired tastes, is a few notches below most other pro sports cities. Desperately need a fortune 500 or 3 to anchor downtown. Need money, people, and a self-sustained downtown economy. People dislike the snow and cold. I do wonder when/if our climate and access to cold water could make this area a huge hot spot by the time jonnu Smith is an old man
  16. Classic 80s player Those Browns teams were pretty decent. Webster Slaughter, Ozzie Newsome, Reggie Langhorne with Kosar throwing in old Cleveland Municipal.
  17. With the high side, it kind of reminds me of War Memorial Stadium
  18. Sam Dickinson was the guy. Top 5 talent. They traded out of that pick though for some reason.
  19. I loathe trump. This debate is a slaughter. Trump looks 10x more presidential than Biden. The dnc needs to make a change.
  20. It is common belief that ty cobb was a racist monster. In recent years, a lot of al stump's slander has been peeled back. Ty Cobb was, in fact, was a vocal supporter of integration. https://nypost.com/2015/05/31/how-ty-cobb-was-framed-as-a-racist/
  21. I'd say B. Has been really good in most categories. I would also rate him in the top 10 GMs currently. He has a few bad extensions, and has floundered at edge rusher. The fork in the road between investing in von Miller and a 1a or 1b receiver has maybe cost the bills a title or 2.
  22. It was largely divided into a couple camps who would always argue, and any topic went back to: Russ Brandon is really the defacto GM, Ralph Wilson doesnt care, the (current) coach is just happy to be here, and is agreeable to working under Russ brandon with limited resources and there was no attempt at a real coaching search. vs Russ brandon is a marketing genius and has nothing to do with the football team, and would be scooped up by another franchise in 30 seconds if they fired him. Nix, Whaley, etc are smart. The previous seasons are the fault of *fill in ex coach or front office name*.
  23. Its actually perfect. The person/people who made this list clearly forgot the Sabres existed. Perfect summary of them. Not relevant.
  24. I think its a decent schedule. I like the early Thursday game, and much more routine, or close to it the rest of the season. It ends with 3 games that should be winnable if the team needs them. Wish they were playing SF at 1PM on Sunday.
  25. Depends on budget and what you want. If you want to sit with crazies, the scoreboard end zone is where its at. Views if you want comfort, relax, and have a better bathroom/concessions experience, sit in the clubs (not the indoor fish bowl clubs!)
