  1. Micah and Poyer were brilliant acquisitions. Reminds me of when Rex said "we won the offseason." This time maybe it's true.

     

    For my money the SuperBowl Bills became the best team in football when they traded for Cornelius Bennett. With any luck we'll look back in a few years and say that the signing of Micah and Poyer was when the Bills turned the corner.

     

    I hope I don't ever regret writing this post

  2. How about 53 yrs here

     

    The first Bills game I ever watched on TV was Bills-Chiefs 1966 AFL championship - the winner was to play in Superbowl I. I saw Johnny Unitas, Larry Csonka, Bob Griese and OJ Simpson play in the Rockpile. I was at the first game at the Ralph - preseason game, the Redskins ran the opening kickoff back for a TD. I should have stopped right then.

     

    I moved abroad in 1989 so when Norwood went wide-right it was about 5AM for me, I stayed up all night for all 4 Superbowls. (The only Bills Jersey I've ever owned is Norwood 11)

     

    For some reason with all of the disappointments and the 17 season drought, every season still brings new hope and irrational thoughts of glory. I guess being old doesn't make me stop dreaming.

     

    Can't wait for today's game but I'm not sure I can explain why.

  3. What's the over/under on Peterman becoming QB1? I say about 5 games.

     

    Think of it this way. Either you play to win this year or you spend the season trying to figure out what to do to make best use out of 6 picks in the first 3 rounds next year.

     

    Once it becomes obvious that there's no winning this year (when the Bills are about 1-4) the smart thing to do is to figure out if Peterman has potential to be a real starting quarterback in the NFL, or whether you need to package up a few picks to get the Next Great Thing in the 2018 draft.

  4. If you think about it the choices were keep him (and pay a ton of money to do so), let him walk at the end of the year or trade him.

     

    If you're going to trade him, do it while he's healthy because he's an injury time bomb. Great move pulling the trigger after they showcased him last night. He might break his foot while tying his shoe tomorrow.
