Ya. It could be Peterman under center. Literally.

OK, I recant my previous position regarding corned beef hash/prime rib.

 

I now postulate: You can't coach scrapple into a Sahlens hotdog.

 

Ya can't get more gross then scrapple.

I must add that Josh looked lost and held the ball to long.  It wasn't all on the line.  Not saying they didn't stink but he has to get rid of the ball and not take sacks.  He should have had an int. also.  Peterman should start.  He looked poised and has shown promise. 

Peterman can float a good ball to the sidelines, which looks good in pre-season play against a vanilla defense.

 

Play a regular season game, against a tricked out D, and Petermen's skills will fade into nothing.

 

Petermen's ceiling against regular season-D's is low. Allen's ceiling is higher.

You can't coach corned beef hash into prime rib.

 

Unless some pretty good OL talent get's cut from other teams next week (very doubtful), it's going to be a disappointing season.

[SI's Andy Benoit: Buffalo Bills 2018 Season Preview]

Quote

Not only are the Bills inexperienced at QB, they’re downright futile up front. Last year’s O-line already lacked athleticism, and now its two best players, left guard Richie Incognito and center Eric Wood, have been replaced by men who’d be backups on just about any other squad (Vladimir Ducasse at guard, Russell Bodine or Ryan Groy at center).

 

That quote is spot on. I just rewatched quarter 1 of the Cleveland game---Cleveland had their way with the OL, hence McCarron's injury.

 

I shudder to think of what will happen to any QB behind that line for four quarters against a starting NFL defense. One thing is for sure, the Bills should keep 3 QB on the roster & practice squad, they are going to need all 3.

 

I found Andy Benoit's article to be uninformed and excessively negative, with the exception of the OL.

 

8-8 and I'll recover from that.

 

 

[Richie Incognito Arrested in Arizona for Disorderly Conduct and Making Threats]

Didn't read every post for 10 pages of thread... But you can definitely tell the posters who have dealt with mental health issues, from those lucky enough to have not needed to.

 

I remember a Richie interview with Cowherd. Richie was lucid, coherent and very engaging. Obviously, in hindsight, one of his better days. I thought he had a future in broadcasting. He was that good.

 

Now it's all lost. Very sad.

[Stadium Name]

I call it the Ralph.

 

But Rich Stadium still resonates with me also. I don't remember any controversies from the Rich family--unlike other rich families in WNY.

Probably started when the Bills Mafia started a bonfire in their stadium parking lot---then they heckled the fire fighters who responded to put it out.

 

Heckling first responders doing their job is a dick move.

Beane is a witch. With the upcoming surplus of salary cap, he'll get 'er done in some way none of us expect or predict.

But after they've been here, almost no one wants to leave Buffalo. 

[Why Do the Bills Need a New Stadium ??]

As many posters have stated: pressure for a new stadium comes from other owners looking to boost revenue. It's not about game day experience or other such tripe, it's about money (mostly from suites).

 

Here's the rub: WNY is a small market and will never rake in the revenue the owners desire--new stadium or not. A palace could be built, and revenue will be flat because WNY just doesn't have the economy or population.

 

So then the question becomes: when will the owners pressure Pegs to move the team to a larger more lucrative market? Will Pegs cave to that pressure to move?

[It May Be Time To Think Big With The Bills]

Another reason for optimism: the team President is competent and in control. Way to go K-Pegs!

Nice writeup. I would add the Jim Kelly atoned for his youthful sin of being a dick by returning and becoming the penultimate team player.

For those who haven't seen it, the movie is called "Der Untergang" and was marketed in the US under the title "DOWNFALL".

 

It is an outstanding film and I highly recommend you watch it!

I watched it yesterday. It was very good, in a dark kind of way.

Well that's a concern. To me, Overdorf is the common denominator in a Bills pattern of excessive contract extensions.

 

The fact that Overdorf is the firewall to an incoming trade contract... no warm and fuzzy.

Interestingly, Warren is not subcontracting the management of the BN. That indicates to me that the BN situation is better in comparison to other newspapers. That indicates Warren's confidence in BN management, and Warren Buffett is no idiot.
