So many feels...

I see I’m living rent-free in @ScottLaw’s head as well. Too funny. The bottom line here at TSW is that any reasonable optimism is often met with disdain by “those who know better.” Some folks know how to debate and disagree without being a-holes. Unfortunately, some also do not. I’ll continue to be the voice of reasonable optimism around here, for better or for worse.

I hear you, but IF the Bills were in that game and IF he had to play...anything could happen.

Nobody is suggesting they would. The thread is about signing him if he is cut.

I think Kyle Allen is probably the best backup QB we've had in a while. Obviously we don't want Josh to miss time but if the OL proves to be a good bit better this season I think Kyle could keep the ship afloat with this team if he had to.

So, to give you the backstory...I was a sophomore in college down here at UNC. I was so excited because this game was during fall break and my dad and I had planned to go when I was home. It was going to be my first chance to see Jim Kelly live...and then the friggin' strike happened. We still went, and of course we enjoyed ourselves, but the football (and weather) was awful! I guess the good part was we moved down into awesome seats. The most commonly heard phrase all day was "holding on Will Grant." Before the final OT FG attempt what was left of the crowd was chanting "Schlopy! Schlopy!" I won't lie, I had fun.

I didn't attend that game, but trust me, the level of football in the Bills-Browns game was light years beyond the game I referenced.

That was great!

From the Buffalo News I'm sure guys like @Nextmanup won't be able to stomach a story like this, since McD is "not his kind of guy."

I just found this article written in 2017 about the game. Great read.

The Chroise!

Until he wasn’t.

Todd Schlopy made 2 out of 5 FG attempts to win a scab game against the NYG (with Lawrence Taylor crossing the picket line) 6-3 in 1987. It was the worst football game I’ve ever witnessed in person.

What are you even talking about? The dude has a personal bias against McD and openly admitted it. We're not talking about reasonable criticism of coaching decisions.

Believe me, we always know where you’re at. “The Bills are [this close] to disaster.” You’re a one-trick pony. Meanwhile, the Bills are still a top-5 Super Bowl contender. Enjoy the season, Scott!

Curious as to how you arrive at that conclusion?

Thank you. I now know to pretty much ignore anything you say about McD due to your clear and admitted bias.

There is one thing that is patently clear — DHop was all about where he could get the most money, not where he could win a Super Bowl. To argue otherwise is foolhardy. Your “aging” point also negates the enticement of a 3-year deal.

Based on what? He’s signing a deal that could pay him 15M this season.

Only 158 pages? Come on, people…DHop!

An 82 sounds about right for Josh, based upon his handicap. Didn’t play extremely well or extremely poorly.

If Belichick was available we’d be fools not to try and get him to be our head coach. No disrespect to McD but with Belichick and Josh we might win 7 Super Bowls in a row.

That was pretty effing awesome. Agree completely that the Bills were physically and emotionally spent by the time that Cinci playoff game rolled around. 2023 is the year of redemption.

I’m going to be up there at the end of the month for a funeral. I’ll bring my drone and see if I have time to go over there and give it a shot.

Sorry, had to.
