Who is the color commentator? I tuned in late. Seems like it’s painful for him to say anything good about the bills. Silent after that touchdown

Can the mods just kick Caesar outta here? I’m cool with fans of other teams posting on this board, but this persistent trolling warrants censorship. It’s hard to comprehend how pathetic a person must be to devote so much time and effort to annoying other people. I rarely post anything here, just like reading the thoughts of others, but I feel compelled to speak up on this.

Can this be the new “high level business meetings” on this message board? 😂

Have you watched him play this year? I'd rather take a late round flyer on someone else than bring him back, he is exactly what we saw in Edwards, Manuel, and to a lesser degree, Tyrod. I can't imagine Beane wanting him back based on his play this year.

Just putting it out there, he's the greatest receiver the Bills have ever had. Reed and TO may have accomplished more up to now, but I've never seen a Bills wideout perform at this level. He's so consistent highpointing the catch that I feel at ease when I see the ball going in his direction, and watching him run routes is like watching Muhammad Ali box.

I'm no scout, but if Cook becomes a weapon for the Bills he has a very obvious nickname lined up: Captain Cook (or The Captain). Same name as the explorer, alliterative, and figurative meaning. Anyway, looking forward to seeing how Josh and Ken Dorsey use his skill set. GO BILLS!!!

Watching from Budapest, Hungary. Kickoff is at 12:30am, I'm counting down the minutes

Trade Edmunds for a 2nd and draft Nick Bolton

The debate of whether it was scheme, line play, or personnel ended when Antonio Williams got a chance to play against Miami. I know it was garbage time, but he hit the hole harder than moss or singletary did the entire season. I trust my eyes, and I was convinced from that game alone that he should’ve immediately been the new rb1

Another detail to keep in mind is the very noticeable fatigue of the defense beginning early in the second half. I can't speak on the x's and o's of what was happening on the field, but the incessant pressure brought on by Henderson and the successive long drives completely gassed the defense (the commentators mentioned it at one point). They are pros, but anyone who's played sports knows all too well how ineffective you are when your body is exhausted. I attribute their breakdown to this more than anything, but perhaps more insightful viewers picked up on other issues.

Cannot WAIT to hear what they got to say this week🤣

unless I am missing something, you say they are not at all similar and then proceed to describe how they are in fact similar (both have some value because they can turn out to be winners). This was part of the point I was making: a lottery ticket and a 6th rounder both have potential when you first get them, but the probability that you win big on either is highly, highly unlikely statistically. Tom Brady is the powerball winner; for every hall of famer picked after the 5th rounder, there are hundreds of players who barely make the team (ok, so 6th rounders are not AS unlikely to hit on as a lottery ticket). But the point is that 6th and 7th rounders are 2nd stringers or special teamers like 95% of the time, and another thing to consider is that you are just about as likely to find a similar level of talent from the UDFAs or free agency at that point.

This is like saying lottery tickets are a good investment because some guy hit big once.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this in the thread yet, but they were actually originally called redskins because of the red clay that they painted their bodies with, not because of their actual skin color. Not sure how much of a difference this makes, as at some point it presumably took on the meaning we assume it has now.

keep it up fellas, I'm sitting here like Newman in court with a bucket of popcorn

I think the bar has been set a bit too high for Allen. The recent examples of near immediate success by qbs (mahomes, jackson, watson, wentz) has set lofty, and frankly, unrealistic expectations for young qbs. There are a lot of metrics by which a qb can be assessed, but to me the two biggest are total touchdowns and total turnovers. I haven't checked, but I believe Allen had 29 tds last season and only 12 or 13 turnovers. Compare that (again, I haven't checked, more diligent posters can confirm/disprove this) to the second seasons of HOF qbs like Brady and Brees, and I bet they are comparable. Allen definitely can work on certain things such as long ball accuracy, reading the field, accuracy, and adjusting velocity, but I don't think his performance last year warrants the concern that many fans have.

He should actually have 7 sacks, as he took down fitzy for what was inexplicably recorded as a qb run. Let's hope his agent doesn't bring that up come contract negotiations

tremaine gets his first pick of the season today

I'll take him over star any day. He's hungry, still pretty young, and a legit force. With him, Harry, and Oliver, we got a bright future on the interior. Who knows, maybe Darryl Johnson becomes a legit end opposit Jerry? I digress, the point is there's no need to look beyond our roster for the present and future at DT

I would be concerned if that Band's drum solo for their biggest hit required the drummer to repeatedly smash himself in the face with a foldable chair. The drugs and booze may have inspired the songs, but they aren't a requisite of the performance itself. I want the Bills to win. Bad. But on some level, we understand these guys are risking their mental health for our entertainment. The thing that is hurting them is the very same thing that we cheer them on to do. I think this is where your analogy falls short

A headache won' turn you into old-age Muhammad Ali in 30 years, or worse

I never said Fitz is a better runner, I just described what I see in Tannehill. Again, you are using statistics in a misleading way, as Fitzpatrick has been on some terrible teams. Dak Prescott has a higher winning % than Aaron Rodgers, does that mean he is a better qb? The point I was trying to make is Tannehill cannot put on a team on his back; there may be some advanced metrics that quantify this, but conventional stats won't show it.

I've been following this debate and felt compelled to chime in. IMO, Fitzpatrick is far more dangerous a qb to face, without question. Citing statistics is a misleading way to assess a qb's value; sure, the big ones such as TDs and INTs matter, but completion percentage and yards are not necessarily indicative of a qb's ability to pull out a win. For years, Tannehill's bread and butter was dumping off the ball to Jarvis Landry and relying on his YAC. When it's third and long and a qb dumps off the ball off for a 5 yard gain, it helps his completion percentage and yards, but doesn't get the team any closer to winning the game ( remember Tyrod or post concussion Trent?). I haven't followed Tannehill much beyond Bills games, but I think we all know what we saw out there: a QB with no mobility, and no killer instinct to go for the big play when their team needs one. And without that a QB doesn't stand a chance of sustaining a winning record in the league. Fitz, for all of his flaws, does have that instinct to go for it; sometimes it works out, often it doesn't, but at least you gotta chance with him. As a Bills fan, I will sincerely miss seeing Tannehill on the schedule twice a year
