  1. I've seen multiple references to the Beane press conference where he discusses our current vaccination status. Can someone please link to the press conference? Thanks so much!
  2. I respect personal choice and all, but all I can do is shake my head at this point, especially after Dion and Tommy's experiences and the Pfizer approval. It will be sad if losing one (or more) of these guys at the wrong time submarines our season. And beyond that, I hope these guys stay safe and don't find themselves really ill and in the hospital.
  3. Urban Meyer killed it at Bowling Green and Utah (winning a Fiesta Bowl when they were still in the MWC). The guy is a great, great coach and not necessarily dependent on being a great recruiter. It may not translate to the NFL, but I wouldn't write off Meyer based on 2 preseason losses as head coach of the worst team in the NFL.
  4. Interesting. I'm guessing McBeane trusts Josh's judgement and grabs these Wyoming boys for him, so they can record a little tape for the next stop on their professional football journeys.
  5. I thought the same thing. His productivity (YPA) fell off a cliff in his senior season. I didn't want the Bills anywhere near this guy in the early rounds.
  6. I take the 90s Bills. I think they're built to beat the current team. You beat this Bills team by running it down their throat and making them run the ball on offense. Don't think this current team would take advantage of the small 90's defensive line or be able to stop Thurman and Kenny Davis from running the ball like crazy. Just my opinion.
  7. Okay, I'll address the OP's hypothetical instead of crapping on him and calling him a troll: If we have to choose, I take McDermott. He has 4 years of actual head coaching experience and made the playoffs in 3 of 4 years, including winning our first AFC East championship in 25 years and leading us to an AFC Championship game. He also led us to the playoffs without Daboll and with Tyrod Taylor as our quarterback. I love the growth I've seen from Daboll (and Allen) over the past three years, but Daboll has 1 really great season out of many as an NFL offensive coordinator. Guys seem to love him and I'll be sad to see him leave, but I don't see any reason to believe he would be an upgrade over McDermott at the HC position.
  8. The guy in white didn't deserve what that drunken buffoon of a woman was dishing out. He was clearly trying to tell the lame boyfriend to check his girl when she went apes*"t on him. I abhor violence and do my best to avoid situations like this, but I have very little sympathy for the woman and her husband/boyfriend.
  9. Starter quality backup at $2.5 million/season. Why the hell would you even think of trading that?
  10. "Above average?" I think the term you're searching for is "masochist."
  11. Damn. That sucks for Lawson and the Jets. Hate to see a serious injury like that.
  12. I never met an "average" fan until I moved from Buffalo to California in my late teens. I hated those people when I met them and I still hate them today. Lol. But seriously, there is something to the notion that larger cities with tons of entertainment options or places with great outdoor activity options tend to produce more "average" fans. I mean, if we get an 80* day here in San Diego on a late October Sunday, it's darn hard to sit inside and watch the Bills for 3 hours when I could be out at the beach surfing, spearfishing or playing a round of golf at Torrey Pines. I still do it, but it makes me absolutely sick to waste a beautiful morning watching us lose. I love Buffalo, but as far as entertainment in the Fall-Winter, the Bills and Sabres are pretty much it (yes, I know we (Buffalo) have an art scene and bowling alleys...lol).
  13. Their (the Jests) WR core was hugely upgraded and should be solid if they can stay healthy. I have no clue what we'll see out of them this year. It all depends on Wilson's readiness and Saleh's ability to lead from the top.
  14. I agree. Those who are gleeful over his demise are just sad and begging for bad karma. The guy hasn't committed any crimes or hurt people as far as we know of. He might have been a cocky dude a few years ago, but he's received more than a healthy helping of humility at this point. But we all have dreams, and for many of us our lives don't quite turn out the way we originally envisioned. That doesn't mean we can't transition and build an awesome new fulfilling life for ourselves. Rosen has a lot of resources to draw from outside of football. He has wealthy parents, a good college degree and a level of public celebrity that he can spin to his advantage. So, I won't add to the piling on and laughing at the guy, but I'm not necessarily feeling too bad for him either. At least no more than I do for any of the hundreds of other kids who get cut from the NFL each year.
  15. I don't think it's necessarily all attitude. I'm a UCLA alum and have been watching Rosen since his high school days. He's like every other failed quarterback before him. For all his supposed smarts, he just can't process what he's seeing quickly enough on the field of play. Add in his immobility, and it's a recipe for disaster. He improved slightly at UCLA, but still made many of the same boneheaded throws he was making as a freshman. Give the guy a clean pocket and time to throw and he could pick you apart. Put pressure on him and he panics and throws the ball up for grabs. Given that he's not really a good team guy, I don't see any place for him as even a backup in the NFL. I think he might be completely out of football within 18 months.
  16. We had seasons in the family section from the mid-80s to mid-90s, so I never really saw this as a kid. When I went back for games in my 20s and sat in the general population sections, I'd see this kind of action fairly regularly.
  17. I think Wilson would have stood a chance at developing into a nice player if the Jets had given him a veteran QB presence to sit behind and learn from. Now, I'm not so sure. I like Lance to be the biggest positive surprise of the class. Lawrence should be good too. I think he'll have an Andrew Luck type of impact.
  18. 4D Chess. He's just learning the Jets playbook before we bring him onto our practice squad at the end of camp.
