  1. Yes, this is a blind spot of the D coaching staff. Same mistake twice? I coudn't rule that out here.
  2. Used to be a QB, usually the backup. Now, thinking out of the box, if JA17 did it, the threat of running or throwing for 2 would be real. not gonna happen, just thinking out of the box.
  3. Used to have seasons. When the Steelers came to town, we could easily get 3xface and sometimes 4x. I haven't done that since the current days of electronic ticketing though, and not sure how that goes. Anyhow, we used to pay for half our seasons with that one game. Jets fans, Browns fans....not at all in my experience.
  4. Rousseau is young and has many tools. He can play football and contribute. Will he be a speed edge rusher, don't know, but give him a chance to learn his trade, he only played one year of college ball. AJ has gone through a complete makeover since coming to Buffalo. He change his body per the Bills workout instructions and is play differently than he did in college. This is year 3, and its not out of the question that he will make an large incremental jump in performance.
  5. Knowing when and how to make a move like that is what makes an outstanding GM. Making those GM moves is not a job for OJT!
  6. Nahhh, Pennington had a real noodle arm. Tannehill can throw the ball.
  7. Bernard will get a shot at the "big nickel" role imho.
  8. Not technically a correct description. ATT formed a Joint Venture with another media company and they both put certain assets in the JV. Directv has been a looser for a number of years as the NFL payments have been heavy lifting for them. ATT got them off their books, or , will with a further divesture of more ownership. I think ATT still owns 70% about.
  9. I am not spending the new punter nickel until I see he can hold for our placekicker. He is just learning I read.
  10. Sibngletary and Cook wil be good change of pace combination. (remembering thurmond Thomas and Ken Davis were that way)
  11. Didn't Vince Young's career also end in injury? Another running QB. Of course, Vince also couldn't and wouldn't follow orders/calls from the bench. I do recall Vince beating the Bills at the Ralph for the Titans I think before he flamed out.
  12. Yes, I absolutely respect the determination and work he put in to make himself what he is today. Many have God given talents, many don't work hard to develope what they have. Josh is to be admired for his character and hard work. Many doubted him, but, thankfully the Bills saw the character as well as the talent. THAT is what the team administration is supposed to do, and they did it well. Anyhow, I would admire Josh for the same were he elsewhere, and I would be envious he wasn't wearing the Bills colors in that hypothetical case.
  13. ATT is/has spinning of the satellite/streaming business of Directv. They have a partner now. Yes, Directv has been a huge loss for them.
  14. Actually, ESPN+ offers the choice of which broadcast you want to hear. I always listen to the Buffalo audio.
  15. I am in Florida also, I get the shout out with the hat also.....Pats fans sometimes say Go Pats, to which I reply. "That was in the past"
  16. The need at TE is dependent on Beane's plan wrt to Knox...sign him or let him walk. He is a pretty good TE imho, and they will sign him if they have the bucks.
  17. Ahhh....Oxford Pennant in downtown Buffalo makes Bills Flags, Banners etc. The employees even had a non game day event at the stadium last fall to commemorate those items. No sweat shop, they are a good employers. I think maybe about 50 folks. I have a relative who works there so I am aware. I don't think they have a company storefront however, but I could be wrong on that. They are right downtown! (I know, who knew!)
  18. We are former snowbirds now residents in Florida. We moved in 2019, and spend about 7 months in Fl. Our community in Ft Myers has Bills parties for the games and mostly we use the Sunday ticket on Directv......but only for 2022 going forward, as Directv is losing the ST after that. We have watched games at a number of venues in the Fort Myers areas , McPartlans on Summerlan had a big crew years ago watching the Bills but I hated the cow bells so me moved on. Don't know if they still do that there.
  19. Gilmore was not a pro here in his last stint. Laid off tackleing during his last (Wrex) season here to protect himself at the expense of the team. Bad attitude players like him are better off elsewhere. And, based on what he said about Buffalo area when he was here , he was never c oming here anyway. Beane, of course, had no way to read the old clippings and know what Gilmore really thought.
  20. I am somewhat amused at those who were against state funding of the new stadium, predominantly NYC folks. And, NYS did not help with the reno of Yankee stadium...it was NYC that did the public financing of the Yankee stadium project. Does NY State help the city with other matters regarding their budget, you bet! So, the state taxpayer indirectly helped with the Yankee Stadium project, whereas the state tax payer will be helping directly with the new WNY stadium. No difference imho. As for the downtown initiative, as a former season ticket holder (to old to walk in now) I would never try the traffic disaster that a downtown Bills game would be....I have been to Sabres games, and multiple the cars by5. That might take all night to clear out of the city.
  21. Brady's contract w Tampa Bay is $14 mil this year.....(yes) That makes Tampa Bay the fav for the Superbowl as they can afford the free agent pieces around him to stack the roster. Perhaps they will give him a raise though.
