  1. Just finished watching this. What a crazy story. I do not remember this happening. I was 22 at the time, so I doubt I was paying any attention to national news stories. The documentary made Marjorie Diehl out to be mentally ill, which indeed she was. However they never mentioned her being a sociopath, which Imo is exactly what she was. If you haven't watched this yet, go watch it
  2. I've said many times here before, I have a special place in my heart for Peterman. Having said that, I want the best qb we have to start for the bills. There seems to be this thinking by bills fans/media that McCarron is the most likely starter, unless Allen is a true beast and wins the job. Either of those scenarios is fine. However, I remember a few years back when we signed Cassel and fans seemed to have high hopes for him. Many here (or the old bbmb) seemed to think he was gonna be the starter. Once camp and pre season started however, he didn't live up to the previous success he had with new England and Kansas city and was not good. I could see McCarron being the same type of player. I could also see allen not being ready and Peterman steals the starting job. So there you have it, McCarron sucks and Allen isn't ready. I don't think this is far out of the realm of possibility. I actually in some way see McDermott and beane hoping it plays out this way. If McCarron wins us 12 games this year and we go a few games into the playoffs, then we have a potential franchise qb while having a 1st round pick that we payed alot for, sitting. You could say the same about Peterman if he wins us 12 games too. At any rate, just a few thoughts I had on a boring Saturday night.
  3. My wife's family owns a big house on a lake in the Adirondacks. My wife goes every summer for 2 weeks. Some of her family spends a month and a half there. I can basically go whenever I want in the summer. It is the most BORING "vacation" I've ever had. I went 3 years in a row and never again. I would rather take a week off from work and sit at home and do nothing than drive 3 and a half hours to this place. Point is, technically this would be a vacation, but no thanks. To me, a vacation is somewhere tropical, or somewhere fancy like Paris or Ireland or somewhere you don't go frequently. I don't count Adirondack type places as vacation because you're not really getting away
  4. U havent been out of state since since March of 17? I haven't been out of state since November of 2015 and that was for my honeymoon. The last real vacation I had prior to that was a cruise in 2006. I've been to the thousand islands and other adorondack trips, but I don't know if that counts as a legit vacation.
  5. Not gonna pretend I'm a Dr or nfl player, but I'd honestly be surprised if it was cte. Linemen don't get the same kind of collisions players like wide receivers or other positions get. Again , I'm speaking out of ignorance, but just my opinion. I think it's either roid rage or some psychological issue
  6. Let's start a 5 year go fund me. We can raise the money
  7. How did this dude go so nuts in such a short time? I know he had issues previously, but he's talked many times how it's in the past and he's a new man etc.
  8. I've stated here many times that I'm a Peterman fan. While I dont know if he's ready to be the starter, I do think he's gonna impress people this year. He's the only qb we have that has any experience with our current offense. McCarron might be good, he also might be terrible. As crazy as it sounds, Peterman is the most proven qb we have on our roster currently. Yes, 5 interceptions I know, but let's let by gones be by gones. Either way, I just want the best qb starting
  9. That Tyrod joke was hilarious and cold
  10. Doubtful. Plus what would be the point really?
  11. I'd say this definitely wins for a modern day song
  12. Streater was on fire last year until he got hurt. Pretty sure at one point he hadent dropped a single pass in camp. That's insane. He could be a hidden gem. Hoping he lights it up this year
  13. I actually think McCarron will end up being cut during training camp or shortly before the season. Imo Peterman and Allen probably arnt much worse or much better
  14. I know it's not a Netflix or Hulu show, but I've actually been digging "the crossing" on ABC. It's on Monday nights at 10pm. Good story. Don't know where they're gonna go with it, but so far it's holding my interest well
  15. Finished season 1 today. One of my favorite shows I've watched in a while. The Johnny Lawrence character makes the entire show. His attitude towards life and karate is hilarious. This show will be huge. Give it a month or two. The final episode was awesome. Wish I could say more but don't want to ruin it for anyone
  16. He was a huge douche bag in the original. Actually in all 3 original movies. I think how they've portrayed Johnny and Daniel in modern day is prefect. I find it hysterical that both characters can't get over their past. It's incredibly dumb and awesome at the same time.
  17. Watched the 1st episode. Outstanding.
  18. Im very late to this thread, but I think the simple answer to the original post is that pegula handed over authority and control to McDermott after the Rex mess. Terry probably took a step back after firing Rex and realized that maybe it's not as easy as he originally thought
  19. I agree completely, but unfortunately the NFL doesn't
  20. I've been trying to think of a way that you can keep kickoffs in the game while at the same time making them more safe for players. According to the NFL, players are 5 times more likely to get a concussion during kickoffs. So here's my idea and I think it would make kickoffs more exciting, and more safe. Keep the kickoff at the 35 yard line, but instead of having the other 10 players behind the 35 before kickoff, they can line up at the 45 yard line. So essentially the kicker is 10 yards behind the rest of the team. The receiving team would also line up at their 45, minus the kick returner, who would be back by the endzone like normal. Here's where safety part comes in. Normally as soon as the ball is kicked, players start charging down field to tackle the kick returner, this is where the concussions come into play. So now, instead of guys charging down field as soon as the ball is kicked, neither teams players can cross the 45 yard line until the kick returner catches the ball and either runs it out or downs it in the endzone for a touch back(which nobody would really do because the other team can't move until the ball is caught). If the kick returner drops the ball, it's an automatic dead ball and the offense takes over from the dead ball spot (unless it's in the endzone and it'd be an automatic touch back). For on sides kicks, id keep the rules in place that we have now. You would basically lose the ability to fake a kickoff and do an on side kick, but it's better than losing kickoffs completely Imo. Anyway, just an idea I came up with. I know they're having meetings about this currently and I fear they will remove kickoffs completely
  21. I think Russ is gonna take alot of flack and it's unfortunate because he did do alot for the bills. I don't know the situation and 8m not gonna sit here and judge a guy that I don't know whatsoever. If he did wrong, then he got what was coming to him, however I'm appreciative of him bringing the bills to Rochester for training camp and expanding the bills brand
  22. To be fair, we have two 5th round picks and an unknown 1st round pick. All 3 could potentially be terrible. I think aj or Peterman win the job this year and Im fine with either of them. I still have a special place in my heart for Peterman
  23. Schopp is so liberal it makes me want to puke. Yes the Twitter thing is/was bad, but cmon people, does nobody know what forgiveness and second chances are about? And, no matter who the bills drafter at quarterback, they were going to have to "overspend". They had to move up no matter what and not one of these qbs has proven himself at the NFL level.
  24. Last time we drafted a qb it was Ej Manuel. There is no comparison between Ej Manuel and Josh Allen. Then the bills tried to help him by getting him a star reciever in Watkins who didn't live up to expectations. Our current recievers are not as bad as everyone thinks.
