    Buffalo could never had supported an NBA franchise, plus the Sabres and Bills, long term. Not enough revenue in Buffalo for three major franchises.

    That doesn't mean that the method they lost the team was ultimately acceptable.  Buffalo lost the Braves so Boston could keep the Celtics. Hooray.

     

    Not for nothing, but if that team wasn't intentionally broken up and sold off for parts they could have won a title.  They had 3 NBA Hall of Fame players in McAdoo, Dantley and Moses Malone and this was the NBA before Magic and Bird.  It's Major League only the rich jackass owner succeeds in the end.

    Inferior product?? You do know they just acquired Paul George and Kawhi Leonard? Or are you from Toronto and just pissed he left?

    It's a pre-season game.  You think they're gonna play?  How many minutes?  NBA teams sit stars in the REGULAR season let alone the pre-season.  You get to see the bench and the future D-League in action.

    I didn't do it, Paul Snyder Sr. did

    So why should we encourage the NBA to come to Buffalo with an inferior product, in an obvious money grab, to pull at nostalgia?  The NBA didn't give a rat's ass about Buffalo and it still doesn't.  F them and they horses in on which they rode.

    It's rated PG.

    So is Blazing Saddles.  PG doesn't mean even remotely the same thing before 1984. Consider PG on old movies to minimally be PG-13 and often the same as modern R.

     

    Edit:  To clarify, the rating system has changed several times and the way things are rated now doesn't resemble what it did in the 70's.  Old movies have not been re-rated using the modern scale so if you are browsing PG comedies and see the likes of Slap Shot and Blazing Saddles next to the The Secret Life of Pets and The Angry Birds Movie don't expect the content to be in the same ballpark of appropriateness for children - parentally guided or not.

    Take my money. 

    I'm confused.  If the league conspired to screw Buffalo out of a team, in order to keep another team in a city where they wanted it, you'd pay money to that franchise ever again?

     

    Let's say Bob Kraft wanted to move the Patriots to San Diego the NFL then brokered a deal between Pegula and Kraft wherein they'd trade franchises. Pegula gets the Pats and keeps them in Boston, Kraft gets the Bills and moves them to San Diego. You'd be ok with that at some point in the future?

     

    That's exactly what happened with the Braves.  I don't watch the NBA. I don't give them 1 dollar.  Hell, I don't even eat Kentucky Fried Chicken because of John Y. Brown's scumbaggery in that sordid episode.

    I can thank of plenty of major US cities which don't have an NFL franchise - off the top of my head, Birmingham, Charlotte, Columbus, Las Vegas, Nashville, Oklahoma City,  Portland, and so on. What do football fans do in those places?

    #1. Charlotte has an NFL team

    #2. Birmingham, Columbus, Nashville, and OKC are firmly in college football territory. It is beloved. They don't lack for football.

    #3. Las Vegas will have the Raiders shortly

    #4. Portland, frankly, I don't think gives a damn.

    Anyone hear if Ray Ray got traded and what we got?

    Not yet though I wouldn't be shocked if this happened.

    Were there any good punters let go yet??

    I think the moves will start trickling in tomorrow around noontime after coaches look at film and meet.  It may come in multiple waves and some might not come down until Saturday. Guys teams are trying to trade will be held longer.  Guys they want back on PS could go at any time. Sometimes teams hold them to the end, sometimes teams put them out there early.

     

    Deadline to be at 53 is Saturday at 4pm

    Tonight was very special for some of our players

    I don't make too much of it all. But I will say it was the most enjoyable (start to finish) last preseason Bills game I can remember.  And while the W/L doesn't make any difference, the fact that the guys on the field at the time are still playing their asses off to get the W, does make a difference, IMO.  To see the emotion on the sideline of all players not active, suggest something special MIGHT be going on.  If they build on that through the season, and keep it when things go sideways,  then they just may be on to something here. 

    There are ways to win PS games that are bad.  If we played 1s, 2s, or even 3s well into this game for example.  or game planned a ton, or blitzed a ton.  That's not what happened.  They played their usual vanillaish game with the guys they should have been using and the game was won by a couple guys making individual plays, not because of scheme or lopsided talent on the field.  Kyle Peko made 2 great individual plays on 3rd downs to get the ball back, Murphy's PR, even the GW drive. It was a scramble, a screen pass with penalty yards tacked on, and a square in.  Nothing crazy, just well executed.  

     

    The previous games the staff obviously had a plan and Beane alluded to it.  They threw a lot intentionally weeks 1 and 2, ran a lot week 3.  They didn't deviate from that plan regardless of the score in those games.  Starters played appropriate amounts and, for the most part, the games were won by the backups (and in some cases the deeeep backups)  That's fine with me.  You want those guys to not be terrible and you want everyone balling out when they are on the field trying to win.  Does it mean anything for week 1 that we won tonight? Not at all, but I like the way they did it.

    All unofficial depth charts, releasing EJ Gaines likely messed it up.

     

    That said, he was having a strong summer and hope to see him land on the squad.

    Cam is in Concussion protocol 

    There may be roster shenanigans with him.  He might make the initial 53, then get IR'd so they can bring someone back but be able to activate Lewis later if they want.  If they IR him now he's done.

    Pats punter a few days ago is fresh.  He's 85 but has never needed to put while on the pats.

    29 but your point is well made.  He's not a rock star, but he's consistent.  His delta is small, while Bojorquez' delta is gigantic.

    Nice comeback yet not sure anyone won a roster spot with their performance.

    I think Duke Williams might have. He was consistently winning on the slant and using his body to shield off the DB.  Plus he wasn't on at the end.  I think Bob Foster's big ST tackle helped him a  lot.

    Both buffalobills.com and Yahoo have UBs Cam Lewis as the 1st backup to Tre White.  Am I missing something?

     

    Captain?

    Captain didn't play a down tonight. Neither did Daryl Johnson even though he dressed.  Rice and Ryan Lewis were on at the end, along with Siran Neal.  I'm not sure Cam Lewis played either.
