    I'm surprised at the outcome.  I expected the NFL to shrug their shoulders at the positions of the Bills and Bengals and stick to win percentage. 

     

    Besides we all know the neutral site is Ford Field.  However, this will be the year the Lions march to the Super Bowl.  😀

     

    Ford Field is the Bills second home this year.

  2. The NFL will make good imho.  Tickets at face anyhow.  Bought from a reseller, well, maybe you get it, maybe not.  I had this happen in Flrodia a couple of years ago with Red Sox preseason game, private sale of seasons seats from the owner.  But, he made good immediately.  I didn't have to ask.  Thje Tv folks don't h ave anything to ask for, the audience was very  large, and they ran their commercials.  Maybe nobody watched them amid the drama, but, they got their broadcast time.  Now, about the schedule.  although the bye is desireable, you could argue that the Bills and the Bengals both got a sort of bye because of the canceled game.  So, time to heal.  Yes, 7 minutes were p layed, but that is about 1/8 of a game.  So, even if KC gets a bye, the Bills and Bengals also got a bye in these circumstances.  Yes, one more game to get to the SB, but, the bye argument is muted by this consideration.

  3. I was around for the blizzard of 77.  Although this one was tough, 77 was worse imho.  City was shut down for 2 weeks, and the burbs one week..   -20F temps and drifts so hard you could walk on them.   There were cars in the middle of Grover Cleveland golf course in May when the snow melted as the city dumped snow there  and had picked up some smaller cars unknowingly.  My employer sent me in to work one week after to see how many made it in....8 out of 400 about....that was a week later! I was instructed to shut it down again....which I did.  (go home, go home, it was easy)  20 ft drifts both north and south of the city.  (Furman Blve, Keck road)   Anyhow, I guess that timing does make it once in a generation. (or two)

    I think Beane finds a way to bring back Poyer on a 1 or 2 year deal

    Poyer seems brittle recent years.  He can play well when healthy, but....

    we will have a new backup QB next year.  Keenum is to expensive and not a great mathc for Josh's style.  Bean will pull a rabbit out of a hat.   Barlkey isn't that guy.

  5. Hacket probabilygot 20-25 mil for 4 years.   He can afford to wait it out, or retire.   I knew from his time in Buffalo that it wasn't going to work out as a HC.  Bronco's will be paying a long time for this mistake along w the QB mistake.  Lots of Bronco fans still shaking their head they took Chubb instead of Josh Allen in the draft.

    I don’t think that’s a fair comparison.  Kenneth Davis was nothing like James Cook.  Change of pace in that they’re/were both the backup RB?  Okay.  Jimbo Cook can be a RB1, and has elite game changing skills/attributes.

    Cook can't run inside for a short couple of yards.  Not a goal line back.  Sorry, can't sell that idea.

    I would rather spend the cap dollars on the Oline or retaining defensive talent. Jacobs is a beast but I think James Cook is a ready to roll player and the team can bring back Hines as a return and third down back. You then could bring in a pure back up to platoon with Cook (hopefully Motor if his number is reasonable) on the cheap.

    Cook is the change of pace speed back.  Motor is the main mover. ( Think Thurman Thomas and Ken Davis)

  8. I got sucker punched by a drunk at a Bills game a couple years back.  Those drunks better stay out of my way, as I am 100% intolerant and belligerent wrt those lowlifes.  Drink, ok, better behave or I will retaliate.

    With the rain, snow and wind, hard to fault Allen on that one (not to mention elbow and shoulder issues Allen has been playing with). Now McKenzie's issue (bad hands) is another subject... Here's to hoping Beasley and Brown add some positive spark to the offense.

    The rap on McKenzie when he came to Buffalo from Denver was his hands.  Not much has changed about that.  He isn't playing at the level he did last year.

    I shoulda known I wouldn't beat the YOLO.

     

    The Bills made it clear after pre-season they had Bryant graded >> CJ Brewer.  So not a surprise to me they brought him back.

     

    I am a little surprised that Beasley was willing to sign to our practice squad though.

     

     

    I agree, but it's a bit of a surprise they haven't IR'd him if that's the case.

     

     

    Yeah, when you can't hold on to a PS spot that doesn't bode well for your prospects.

    Beaseley can get three elevations to the 53......with only four games to go thats hellp.  And, John Brown will use his third up this week against the phins.
