I’m sorry, what? I wasn’t paying attention. I think the problem is people don’t read.

As soon as my wife left the room to go get ready for bed, the game turned. When the Bills were down 8 I told her she should come back. She declined, saying they were doing better without her watching. When Bills were down 2, again I told her to comeback, again she declined for the same reason. I think you should all send your appreciation with a small cash gift.

Not personal, I don’t know the man. I don’t prejudge people I don’t know. Based on the facts, which briefly are that a young man with great athletic ability, will earn at least a quarter of a billion dollars and create a legacy for his family. Stupid people don’t have that success. Now get in your last word.

But you know this? He saved between $3m-$8m by not having an agent. I live a couple of miles from where Jackson played high school football, I’ve paid attention to his trajectory for years. These are not stupid people. He and his mother made sure he was going to be a QB, they moved to make that happen in high school. They changed his college commitment from Florida to Louisville, because Petrino guaranteed he would play QB. He won the Heisman as a sophomore. At the NFL combine he refused to try out as a WR. He gets drafted in the first round, negotiates his own contract using an attorney, because rookie contracts are slotted, no need to waste money on an agent. He becomes one of the NFLs premier QBs, wins MVP twice, gets Ravens in the playoffs six times. Negotiates a $260m contract and somehow you have reached the conclusion that he is stupid.

They paid a lawyer to do that, the lawyer gets paid a fee, not a percentage of the contract. A contract attorney would have access to other players contracts.

Per the Washington Post, agents will receive between 1.5 percent and up to 3 percent, which is the maximum for contracts. For Jackson, that means he could have lost up to $7.8 million to an agent, if he were to lose 3 percent of the full $260 million. He also could have lost a minimum of $2,775,000, had he lost 1.5 percent of the $185 million.

Yeah, he negotiated his own$260m contract, saved about $8m by not having an agent, what an idiot.

It was like what the Bills did on their second and third possessions.

So complicated, it’s why there aren’t 32 guys in the world that can play Quarterback in the NFL.

How you use it.

Thank you

You all have forgotten to mention that Hawes went to Yale. Going forward it is required that this be noted by every poster, if it is not it will go on your permanent record. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sportscaster thoughts are,”Bills won but”. I’m going to keep repeating this, Bills won the game, total yards, time of possession, first downs and turnovers.

13 seconds

Bills won game, total yards, first downs, time of possession and turnovers, but according to talking heads, Bills have problems. That is probably correct, defense needs to be better. However the Ravens gave up 251 passing yards in the fourth quarter, but their defense is loaded.

Hey Billy, remember our discussion yesterday about giving Josh the ball with 1:30, needing a FG to win?

GMFB talking about how Bills defense needs help, secondary not good. Josh Allen threw for 251 yards and rushed for two touchdowns in the 4th quarter, and the Bills secondary is bad? Strong made a couple of mistakes, but pretty good nonetheless.

Never in doubt

Don’t worry, Anchor Bar, Niagara Falls, the New Stadium and The Ralph will all get time tonight.

Billy and I were discussing last season’s playoff game, not tonight.

Of course those would be concerns, but I can count on one hand the number of times Josh and the offense let us down in big games.

Pre-game talk about Andrews dropping conversion, is there anyone that doesn’t think that with 1:30 and three TOs that Josh doesn’t move them down the field for a walk off FG?

I can understand how that could affect you, have you ever talked with someone about it? I mean other than the hundreds of us on this site? Animal tranquilizer? I apologize to everyone, I make jokes when I’m nervous, the wait is killing me.

If they can do that, then what is the point of rushing to line of scrimmage and getting off a play to avoid review?

I do hate the Jets, but not nearly as much as I hate the Patriots and the Dolphins.
