  1. Whaley has done his job well, so no he shouldn't be fired. Even though Rex has been abysmal so far, if Ryan and Roman aren't given another year to get their systems fully in place, good luck getting any half-decent coach to give Buffalo a shot in the near future.
  2. Maybe a protest -- someone doing their self-appointed job exactly right . . .
  3. Philadephia: 248 yards total offense. New England: 424yards total offense. Philadephia: total of 58 plays in 25:44 of possession. New England: 86 plays in 34:16 of possession. Philadelphia: 2 passing TDs, no rushing TDs. New England: 3 passing TDs 1 rushing TD Flukey game. No clear evidence of a striking Philadephia revival. Of course, the Bills haven't proven themselves to be dominant and will have to fight for every win.
  4. Plays with passion, and more under control than at the beginning of the year. Certainly a great waiver wire pick up. Another strong Whaley move.
  5. That's another reason the Gilmore back tackle is bad football. Hope he's okay.
  6. Peyton Manning First-Year QB Stats: Completion Percentage: 56.7 Yards Per Attempt: 6.5 Interceptions: 28 (26 TDS) QB Rating: 71.2 W-L 3-13 Why did they keep the bum? Tyrod is no Peyton Manning? Neither was Peyton Manning in his first year. Bottom line: The jury is out. http://www.peytonmanning18.com/1998.html
  7. I didn't see the second half today, but here are some of Tyrod's statistical rankings among all NFL QBs: Completion percentage: 4th (67.9) Yards per attempt: 7th (7.87) Interceptions thrown: tied for second lowest among starters, with 4 all year QB rating: 5th (100.9) Rushing: Couldn't find rankings, but I think we can agree he's pretty good Yes, the jury's still out on whether he will be a franchise QB, but I'd say he's doing well for his first year as a starter. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/passing/sort/quarterbackRating
  8. Tyrod + Arrowhead noise + Bills headsets - 1/2 Bills D-line = Chiefs 24 Bills 13
  9. Too early to call. Only his 9th start, and however lacking he was tonight on the road against the best team in football, he had a higher completion percentage, higher QB rating, and fewer INTs than Brady. Though Brady did edge him by 44 yards.
  10. I almost always skip Sullivan. He strikes me as both over-critical and self agrandizing. I started to skim the TT article, but stopped: I don't need him to tell me that Taylor hasn't yet proven himself to be a franchise QB. After all, who legitimately can be called a franchise QB after seven NFL starts?
  11. Agreed. Largely the same personnel excelled under Pettine. Then they had to change systems under Schwartz and got even better that same year. This year, with a stronger secondary, they have regressed significantly to the middle of the pack in points and yards per game. And of course, sacks have plummeted. It is true that the league is making it hard on DBs, but every team faces that, and comparatively we have regressed.
  12. Or 15 yards for excessive celebration of a laptop purchase.
  13. But not so great by number 70, which is why it only goes for about 3 yards. But definitely, props to 71!
  14. Except New York State, since they banned fracking. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2015/06/new_york_officially_bans_hydrofracking.html
  15. I've Got You Under My Skin Frank Sinatra I'd sacrifice anything come what might For the sake of having you near In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night And repeats, repeats in my ear Don't you know little fool You never can win Use your mentality, wake up to reality But each time I do just the thought of you Makes me stop before I begin Because I've got you under my skin
  16. I have heard that some people use a VPN to route their Internet connection through European servers, thus enabling them to purchase NFL Game Pass. I understand that this enables them to see all of the Bills games (except hypothetical post-season contests) live and in archived/condensed form for $99 per year. I, of course, have no personal experience with this, as I imagine it probably is not what the NFL has in mind in offering this fine service only to out-of-country fans.
  17. I agree with Charlie Casserly, and I don't see things changing: ".@buffalobills EJ Manuel's issues to date have been/inaccuracy/holding ball/lack of anticipation/not handling the rush well" https://twitter.com/CharleyCasserly/status/655737654802292737
  18. Too bad Bison Bill Cody isn't still around. He'd know for sure.
  19. In all fairness, Jackson was knocked out of the game Monday Night with an ankle injury after a total of eight carries for the season.
