  1. Man, I usually look forward to these for a good laugh, but the Bills one just isn't funny. Ok, make fun of Peterman, make fun of "the process", and make fun of Buffalo itself. He's running out of ideas.
  2. Has it ever occurred to you that you do for the Jets what you belittle most Bills fans for doing for their favorite team? Think about it.
  3. I'm assuming (but I don't know, so sorry if I'm wrong) you have absolutely no idea what sort of conversations take place among professional athlete teammates. There is nothing negative or out of the ordinary about that interaction.
  4. Who knows, it could work out for them, but I don't think you'd call it better than a 50/50 proposition. This really does tell you how concerned the Jests are about the position.
  5. Ed is going to make a lot of OCs (and QBs) nervous. And just watch Jerry's and Trent's sack numbers rise this year.
  6. I'm telling you, Thad Brown is a bad follow. I hate it when he is retweeted. The new guy from ESPN is pretty solid.
  7. Don't be so sure about that.
  8. I see a guy who was ready to be a pro after his freshman year in college and has been bored for two years. He knows he is talented, but he is relishing every moment and can't wait for the lights to come on and the games to mean something. He is soaking up every bit of knowledge he can. I can't wait to see him play.
  9. This practice had the earmarks of a "letdown day" from the get-go after 4 straight days of pads. Not saying that's a good thing, but it is what it is. I'm sure it will be a "teaching moment" for McD.
  10. I don't care whether Oliver is labeled a "starter" on W1 or not...it's clear he's going to be playing a lot and wreaking a lot of havoc.
  11. They've had four padded practices in a row. This is going to be a "light" day in preparation for the "show" at The Cap tomorrow night.
  12. Agreed, I've had the channel on in the background and they are "checking in" at camp frequently.
  13. Wow, lots of foreshadowing indeed. Two lengthy Giant drives taking more than 7:00 off the clock, having success running the ball, and then also some missed tackles allowing 3rd down conversions when Hostetler was in. Still, fun to remember when the Bills actually won big games!
  14. This is an insane "point" you are trying to prove. The Bills and their fans have already been subject to laughter and critique for Peterman's antics. What additional punishment are you seeking to impose upon us? Why this crusade? So they didn't cut Peterman until midway through last season...so what? They cut him and it's over. I simply do not understand supposed Bills fans who want to see other Bills fans muted or beaten down. You have some ridiculous notion that we are supposed to continue to suffer for the Peterman debacle? Why does that make any sense at all? And as to your "worry" that the Peterman debacle implies McD doesn't know how to evaluate talent, that's absurd as well. The QB position is unique. Peterman was one of those guys who did absolutely everything right except perform in games. And it doesn't matter any more. He's gone. So again -- what is your point? That people should be sitting around "worrying" about whether McD can evaluate talent? Go for it, buddy. I've got better things to do like get ready for what appears will be a fun season.
  15. Dude. McD said the same things about Peterman that Gruden is. Peterman obviously is a great guy who does very well in non-pressure practice situations. He has some quality about him that makes these coaches think he will be able to translate it to games, but when the "real" bullets fly he becomes one of the worst to ever play the position. That's not a flaw in McD's "process" -- it's a mistaken evaluation. It's over. But it's hilarious that a new coach (Gruden) is falling into the same trap.
  16. 6 in a row, baby.
  17. "Many?" How about "a stubborn few." I certainly wasn't one of them. Regardless, your "point" in this thread (calling Bills fans hypocrites) is dubious at best. Don't you have something better to do?
  18. @Chemical thanks for confirming you’re a troll. You know, if you don’t like the topic in a thread you can completely avoid it! Crazy how that works. I can’t think of a single Bills fan who understands or supports McD’s odd attachment to Peterman. That doesn’t mean we can’t laugh at and belittle Gruden for apparently making the same mistake.
  19. C'mon, Dog, you know better than to feed trolls...
  20. 2018 -- one (Murphy) 2019 -- two (Kroft, Morse) Yeah, sounds about right. Look, there's no way to positively spin Morse having another concussion but you guys go off the deep end waaaay too quickly.
  21. Eddie is feeling it out there today!
  22. Is it wrong for me to like the fact that Josh throws a couple of picks? I mean, the Bills' D is pretty good and he has to learn what he can and can't get away with. That's what practice is for.
