  1. Nice pick of Manziel. Game is for first place and we hold it until the results say otherwise. Game is not a gimme I fear. Can't wait until kickoff!
  2. Yes, our defense could do the same. We may be able to get more pressure, probably can't cover as well. Make Brady prove he can still be accurate deep. He is in decline, that is not debatable (we all are, after all), just a question of how fast.
  3. 50 years this year. First game in Rockpile vs. Raiders in '67.
  4. Bills beat Pats in Boston on Christmas Eve to take division. If they have that chance, I will be there. BTW - was there when they shut out the Pats last year. It was fantastic. Sure, they did not have Brady. But Pats fans were SO smug going in. ("Oh, you are a Bills fan? isn't that cute - didn't know those still existed. Well, we will go kind of easy with you without Brady today - but remember, we are 3-0. Bellichek is so smart it doesn't matter who plays QB, don't you know?) The place was 2/3rds empty by 3rd quarter.
  5. Then enjoy it when they beat the Panthers the week after!
  6. I am not playing, I won't lose us any games - promise! Bills playoffs. Pats, shaky 10-6. Brady in decline.
  7. Bills win 27-10. Dareus pulls a hamstring. Hughes drags a Jet around by the face mask out of bounds.
  8. I would like to see Dareus get much fatter. I think he can carry the weight. We should get him hugely fat, like 500 pounds. That would be sooooo cool. Would freak out other teams completely. Who was the fattest Bill ever? I think it might have been Jerry "the condo" Craft.
  9. Fish lose their QB for the year and suddenly flatulant old Jay Cutler is going to make them great. Jets and Fish spot us 4 games this year. Just have go .500 rest of the way and we break the streak. Should have beat the Fish 2x last year.
  10. It is, however, uncommon for Brady to be in his 40's. At some point he won't be him anymore, why not not now! Pats shaky 10-6, Bills in playoffs, until proven otherwise. Kidding aside, I was shocked how inaccurate Brady was. And he did not look at all at ease with his wideouts. That will improve, of course, but he is going to miss Edelman all year and Amendola is sure to miss significant time over the season.
  11. Go Bills! Playoffs! Hope springs eternal. Optimism with or without cause rules! Can't wait until kickoff!
  12. No need to tank in today's NFL. It is an absurd idea - even the "suck for Luck" drive has arguably been a failure (except in the getting Luck part). We are retooling, not tanking, and if the team over-performs a bit we could slip into the playoffs. And wasn't that Pats loss a beautiful thing to behold! I know we want Chiefs to lose every game, but I can't believe any true Bills fan could sit there and not be delighted while the Patsies lose at home on the night they were presented with their rings. Watching Brady get drilled while trying to play catch-up at the end was priceless. Like one of the Bills games only it was the Pats!
  13. Taylor provides stability at the QB position. He does not turn the ball over. He may not win you a lot of games, but he won't lose many either. And because of his "unique attributes" (legs/deep ball), he puts up points. He does not look conventional in doing so and clearly has challenges as a passer. But we coudl be much, much worse off. The talking heads see him as "underrated." I would not be so quick to run him out of town, even if we pick one QB high. Number 1 pick QBs flame often. I will never understand why it is either (from the lovers) "one more year and he will develop and be our guy" or "he will never be a franchise quarterback and has to go." I don't know that either is true. Two years of evidence proves he is responsible with the ball and will get you some points. Like any position we should always be looking to upgrade. That doesn't mean a hard-working team player like Tyrod needs to go. if we had a decent defense either of the last two years we produced enough offense to make the playoffs.
  14. Bills = Playoffs Pats start their decline. Shaky 10-6.
  15. Dalton Facts: Put up 12 points vs. 2016 Bills defense - at home; Threw 18 TDs to Tyrod's 17; Ran for 184 yards vs. Tyrod's 580. And glad you're in for now at least! We just can't say "fully pregnant"
  16. Right now Sammy is likely to cost LA Aaron Donald.
  17. Count me in on the "thank God they shipped him to LA" camp. Watch. Sammy = good 2017; PUP list 2018.
  18. I tend to agree with this. But if we are lucky on the health front we could certainly go 10-6. Having said that, I would hate to see our offense if Shady and say Matthews or Jones goes done. Not too threatening with Tolbert and one of our back-up wideouts.
  19. Dalton sucks the big one. He was terrible last year when his weapons were not what they were. Do you not remember when we played them? Snore bowl. Bills = Playoffs. Pats - shaky 10-6. Nobody plays QB in the NFL until age 50. So we have at least a 1/10 chance Brady starts his decline into suck this year.
  20. Bills had 22.4 and 24.9 points per game last two years. More of the same would look like 23+. I don't believe we scored those points because of inferior competition. 23 points per game and a defense that did not suck would look pretty good.
  21. So sick of the Watkins whining. He will have a good year as he plays for a contract. What I would not want is the 2018 and forward risk. Only time will tell, but no way I would give Sammy $15+ million a year no matter what he does in his contract year. To get a starting CB and a high pick for not doing so was GENIUS! Never has a WR with such modest on-field achievement been so mourned. You would think we traded Rice in his prime.
  22. What they are doing is fixing the culture, trimming the fat and going to the playoffs!
