Although I associate it more with Sabres games, always enjoyed Trooper's "Raise a Little Hell"

Some people are just more affectionate about their choice of pickle.

Sounds more objective to me.

At 300+ lbs, Benjamin must be able to cover most of the net.

One thing I have not seen said, as this thread continues to grow, is... Jeremy Maclin who?

That's what I'm saying, why not bet on yourself? I guess he could think he doesn't have it anymore, but that's a quick turnaround from agreeing to go to SF to be a starting NFL QB for 2017.

I think they get an undeserved bad rap. People come on spouting ignorance and having nothing to back up their arguments, so they give them the business for it. Answering "so what do we do with the QB situation going forward?" over and over and over for 17 years has to get a little tedious and frustrating.

I think a former player would tend to be in favor or players' rights.

Right, I would think a starting job for 9+ weeks would be more enticing. And I made the assumption that Hoyer, even though unspectacular this year, would start over Hundley who has put up some gaudy numbers. Maybe the Packers want to use this year to see what they have in Hundley, but that makes me question why they would even try to nab him. I just seriously doubt it was to be a back-up to Hundley.

I agree with what you said. I am still surprised an NFL QB passed up a starting job for a back-up job.

Just don't see the Patriots* viewing Hoyer as their heir apparent to Brady. Re: the bold, where are you talking about?

Packers might be invested in Hundley's development, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't start Hoyer this year to try and make a run. They are at 4-3 still and lost the last 2 with Hundley putting up garbage stat lines. Clearly, the situation as back-up to Brady is stable, but I would think a guy would go for a starting job over a back-up job.

Surprised he didn't go to the Packers if that was an open starting job.

Wonder if Denver might be the team. Can't imagine they love starting Osweiler.

^ Exactly, have him split out wide so they are forced to pay him attention... and then run a draw to McCoy.

Keep him at that price. Good average to above average starter's money. Plus, the rookie will not be making that much his first 4-5 years with the Bills anyways. Between Taylor, Peterman, and a rookie, you're looking at around $20M total invested into the most important position on the team, and that is okay. Taylor is an ideal mentor type QB who can teach the young guy to protect the ball, leadership, and work ethic.

1 catch, 4 yards, 1 TD

Similarly, no GM admitting he expects there to be a move expected...

If Ayaji went for a 4th, then I'd think Hyde would get similar or better return. Blount has a very similar bruising style, so maybe he is newly available from PHI?

Steal Hoyer!!!

QB, HB, WR, OG, DT, CB

True, but he's got 271 yards this far in the season and just fumbled the game away against us. Tampa is close to Boldin's family. Jacksonville could work too, but I'd prefer an NFC team.

TB has a big #1 and a deep threat. Could use a slot guy.

I'm pretty sure we don't have a 6th or 7th in 2018, so that could he why. Not against it had we made the trade, but logistically it could have been a hang-up. Plus, we just got Matthews back and Thompson looked pretty good.
