  1. This is a Bills forum. Why do we have to ride Brady’s jock in here? I’m sure there’s a few hundred Pats forums you could bring this to.
  2. Face it, we have no idea what's going to happen, just like every year. The combine hasn't even happened yet. Go Sabres.
  3. I would rather they just dispense with the charade and have them play actual flag football, or a charity softball game.
  4. ... They will make football unwatchable. Bad calls are part of the game, and there's already too much video review slowing things down. Harrumph.
  5. He certainly has some impressive eyebrows.
  6. Can't the Bills find... a running back that can juke like Barry Sanders? ... a receiver who can leap like Randy Moss? ...a QB who can throw like John Elway? TE's like Gronk are not a dime a dozen.
  7. I live in Maine. I hate the Patriots so very much. Patriots fans are the only thing I really hate about living here; every other negative about Maine (isolation, rampant poverty, lack of culture) is relatively minor to me, especially in light of what a beautiful place this is. I won't go to the bar when the Pats game is on; I have been aggressively harassed and threatened just for being a Bills fan, even when (especially when) the Pats are throttling us. The accent just makes it worse. They are the worst fans in sports. And the wings suck, and of course they serve them with Ranch.
  8. I guess he wanted to move someplace warm.
  9. Is Danny Crossman still employed?
  10. I was just thinking about the EJ/JA 1st year comparison. Josh kind of reminds me of EJ - Tall, big arm, not very accurate, great athlete, always a threat to run. I would bet their stat sheets look very similar for their rookie years. I think the big difference is that Allen has shown improvement in reading the field and getting the ball out quickly (instead of bailing on the pass and running for it like he did so much in earlier games). EJ never got over that hump. Allen is also way more confident and enthusiastic. Allen should develop into the better player, but that being said, I haven't seen anything this season that makes me think it's guaranteed to happen.
  11. You can't blame it all on the WRs. If you watch other NFL games, you soon realize that Bills WRs aren't the only ones who drop balls. Over time, an accurate quarterback will put up a good completion %. Josh Allen is not (yet) an accurate QB. Even on his completions, I see a lot of 'crude' ball placement. It gets there, but the receiver has to adjust in such a way that there's no opportunity for YAC. That said, accuracy seems to be his only major flaw right now. He is improving a lot in reading the field, and he doesn't hesitate to make the throws - which means his ceiling is automatically higher than Tyrod's. Hopefully time will make him more accurate.
  12. Hindsight is always 20/20. I think it's only fair to judge bad picks if they also looked bad the day they were made; 'reaches' that didn't pan out. Even the infamous Mike WIlliams pick seemed like a good decision on draft day. The most egregious examples I can think of in recent Bills history were Aaron Maybin, Donte Whitner, CJ Spiller, Leodis McKelvin, and Sammy Watkins. None of these passed the smell test on draft day. And to be fair, only one of them (Maybin) was a complete and total bust - meaning he never provided anything of value to the team whatsoever. The rest were certainly over-drafted, but they at least contributed something on the field, and/or brought something back to the team in a trade later on.
  13. Go back to Worcestster, jerk face.
  14. One more series and I'm moving on.
  15. At least my beer is pretty good.
  16. Boring game, but at least we were spared the Spiro Dedes this week.
  17. My homer says 'catch' but my football says 'incomplete'.
  18. Hardly the reason they lost the game. Probably not even in the top 5 or 10 reasons.
  19. I think the team is behind him 100%, but he is going to have to prove he can do a little more with his passing game (finding open guys, hitting more receivers in stride, etc.) to be the full-blown leader of the offense.
