This will be my final rational thoughts post for the 2019-20 season. It has been a pleasure having some great conversations with everyone and it has made the season quite fun. I will be moving into my offseason mode where the majority of my posts are schedule related because I spend WAYY too much time analyzing it. The first three posts here are game related and the rest are the season. Cheers! Playoff game 1. No way around it the Bills choked and they missed a big opportunity to move forward. It has already been analyzed thoroughly by others so I won’t go into the details but this team fell apart when they typically had been their strongest. On the 1st drive to tie the game I had no doubt Allen was going to get a TD to win instead. On his first OT drive I believed he would get the win. The defense I swore was going to hold Houston and not let them get the 2 pt conversion, force a FG instead of TD, hold on 3rd and 18, not allow Watson to scramble out of a sack etc.. To this teams credit when it hit crunch time they've made me believe not doubt. To this teams criticism they looked too big for the moment and they missed. I believe in the future big time and where they can go, but you only get the season you have in front of you. The Bills probably were not going to the Super Bowl but I would’ve rather played this weekend then not had the chance to fail. Next year could be great, next year could be a disaster, the defense was relatively injury free and they had some good luck in close games they could’ve lost. They had a big chance after making the playoffs to win a game for the first time and 25 years and they blew it. That sucks it still hurts days later. 2. Allen put his rollercoaster style on full display. Overall I was not disappointed with Josh. He had a role in them not closing the deal, BUT he did lead the team to tie the game, he was let down by some awful drops, and his blocking failed him including on the sweep which would’ve iced the game in OT. He will learn from this I am actually more encouraged by his performance then discouraged. 3. I generally do not blame the defense. They allowed 19 pts total in regulation and gave the offense numerous chances to close the deal. I will say some of their best players Tre, Milano, and Poyer all had their worst moments at absolutely the worst times. I thought Edmunds over pursued at points and Houston took advantage of that. Levi Wallace being out and Taron Johnson going out hurt the defense and showed CB is a problem without them. Still I look at the names I just typed and they are soo young that this experience should help. People are going to bash Daboll and I hated his insistence on running Gore and his lack of running Singletary in OT was mind blowing. But I will say the offenses issues from the 2nd half on were far more execution related then coaching. Regular Season 4. I would grade the season as a B+. Massive strides were made and you cannot undersell how big it is that they made the playoffs a second time in 3 seasons, made the playoffs without a crazy play getting them in, won on primetime on the road in PIT to clinch the playoffs, won primetime on the road in DAL, the offense improved from doormats to OK where you were more frustrated because they can do more (that’s a good thing), the defense was top 5 and very good, AND they played a highly competitive playoff game which took an OT to knock them out. I cannot give an A or A- because they did not win the division, did not win a playoff game, and they couldn’t beat NE or BAL despite three big opportunities where they were oh so close to doing so. That’s the next step and they are knocking on the door, finish the job in 2020. 5. Allen was a B grade to me. Last year he was a C- showing tons of promise but little consistency with nothing of substance to help him at the skill positions. He showed with better weapons he can do more and certainly evolved into a talented game manager. That’s not a slight because he can do a lot and was a piece to the team winning. I want him to become the reason though, game managers are rarely the reason for wins while franchise guys are. He absolutely needs a bigger WR who can be the #1 guy though. The throw to Duke Williams in the endzone that Duke couldn’t hang onto is what the top WRs do. The biggest thing I think that will help Allen and this is more on the OC, but is running the offense with a quicker tempo more regularly. He really did well when he was in a quasi-hurry up offense and his decision making absolutely was good there. Also do not undersell how big of a deal it is that the Bills found and drafted a QB who helped them to the playoffs for the first time since Kelly. 6. Of the 3 years Poyer and Hyde have been in Buffalo this felt like their weakest year for me which is weird to say. I have thought for a while that Hyde has an injury as he has seemed a half a step off all season and Poyer had some rough games here. You could list quite a few plays where one of them missed or blew coverage this year with the Hurst TD being probably the worst of all. I wonder if with the rest of the roster on defense upgraded with far more talent than their first year, they do not have as many opportunities to make plays so you notice their faults more. If you have to keep one I am keeping Hyde and drafting a replacement for Poyer. Hyde has that overarching coverage ability that you do not get with Poyer. In no way do I want Poyer gone and I hope they sign him. But he could get a decent payday and I could see the Bills being priced out. Remember the Bills drafted Jarius Byrd & Aaron Williams within a few years of each other. McD’s scheme also helps to make the safeties have opportunities for big plays. 7. I went to the Miami home game and left saying they have to learn the killer instinct on offense or they will get burnt eventually by it. The playoffs they finally got burnt by it and there was other games where a killer instinct for more points earlier would’ve helped closed things earlier. I want to attribute that to the offense learning and growing, but it will be the difference next year to their success regardless. 8. The Bills were very healthy all year and I think a portion of that is the new facility they created and the other piece is the coaches telling the players to not fear the doctors and get themselves treated. Teams with good defenses usually are helped by a clean bill of health and outside of losing Harry for the year they seemed to manage the team better than any point I can remember as a fan. Keep in mind next year they probably will not have as great of injury luck so it will be crucial Beane adds the proper depth to help. 9. If you told me at the start of the year Robert Foster would finish with just 64 yards and 3 receptions I would’ve been stunned. Brown and Beasley certainly took throws away, but I would’ve thought that with the additional weapons it would’ve opened up more chances. Instead he looks more like a flash in the pan and was rarely on the field to any great length. Duke Williams feels like he has come in Fosters spot and I expect a top drafted WR to probably bump him off the roster completely. Too bad Foster was a really fun player I wanted to see workout. 10. 4-3* at home (I don’t count the Jets loss we were not playing for anything) is OK but I would’ve like to seen the Bills defend home a little better. Had they won one of PHI/NE/BAL they take the division and having those games at home make you feel like missed opportunities all over. Again this is one of those next step type things, but the best teams turn home field into a place the opposition virtually never wins at. 11. Singletary is going to be oh so good. He could slip through a phone book he’s that good at evading tackles. 12. In general Beane and McD have done a tremendous job in the draft at finding talent in the draft. From 2017-19 they’ve added White, Milano, Edmunds, Knox, Singletary, Allen, T. Johnson, Dawkins, Phillips, & Oliver all who were starters this year. That is how you build a true core to work with long term. I am very excited to see how they keep drafting given they can basically go BPA now which is how you find even more stars. Until next season Go Bills!

Bills 24 Texans 19 Houston comes out and scores on their first drive to make it 7-0 thanks to a Watson QB keeper. But the nervous Buffalo faithful calm when Allen matches with a Bills TD with a pitch to McKenzie tying the game 7-7. In the 2nd quarter Hyde picks off Watson and Beasley takes a 10 yard pass on 3rd down to put Buffalo up 14-7 at half. The Bills get the ball and actually do something with it in the 3rd quarter getting a FG after Allen hits J. Brown for 30 yards deep to go up 17-7. Watson moves the ball twice downfield but the Bills defense hold both times allowing FG's to make it 17-13 at the end of the 3rd quarter. At the start of the 4th Allen and crew get past mid field when Singletary breaks a 39 yard run for a TD putting Buffalo up 24-13. Each team trades three and outs before the Texans go downfield and Watson throws a TD to Hopkins in the redzone. Houston goes for two so they are only down by a FG with 4 minutes to go but the Bills hold. Buffalo runs the clock pretty much out and the Texans last ditch effort to win fails late at mid field. Allen 213 yds 19-30 2 TDs 40 yds rush Singletary 118 yds 1 TD 16 carries Brown 96 yds 4 recs 538 should've stopped predicting anything after they whiffed on the 2016 election

Chiefs 30 Packers 24 thats been my SB since the start of the season ain’t moving from it now

Agreed on 1999 being the last shot at a SB. That was a really solid veteran team which had the issues you listed. I would even add Ralph’s age and the teams future in Buffalo was a problem as no one knew what would happen and that absolutely took the focus away from football. i think the way they lost also had a big impact on the franchise in a shock type of way also.

I saw that with the LB and the Bills had issue with it. Def a nice wrinkle by NE and by the time Buffalo figured it out they looked pretty tired. It seemed like NE had an extra RB or LB or TE at all points to try and protect Brady more. Like you said that extra person/LB did seem to catch the D.

I do not pin the entire game on the defense. They allowed 24 pts which if that is considered a bad day should be a great sign. My point is more in a season where they held when it was tight they finally broke. And I think they were just on fumes and tired by that point. The offense did not help with TOP. It was a team loss overall. Yep. Note I did not even mention it. There are times the refs in the NFL have made game altering calls we all know too well. But this game came down to the offense not being able to finish/keep the ball for running the clock and the defense having a bad day/gasing out. Agreed. Given how well Allen was passing especially in 4 and 5 wide sets and how NE had bottled up Singletary, they went to the run well too many times.

Welp that was a bummer haha. As always here are my thoughts after the game Saturday, were getting the 48 hour later version! 1. It was a loss. Moral victories are over, I don't care that they pushed the Pats to the brink, had the lead in the 4th, etc.. they didn't close. It's great that against NE and BAL they have lost each game by 7 pts or less, but at some point you gotta cross the bridge if you want to take the next step. I believe that the 2020 Bills should be the division favorite BUT that comes with the Bills winning a few of these games not just making you say well they almost had it. All of this said its not the end of the world, were in the playoffs, I love watching this team, and the game was a ton of fun regardless. 2. The biggest positive I saw out of this game was Allen. He sucked as did the offense for most of the first half and then it happened. Every Bills fan had to have that pit of "uh boy Same Ol Bills" as the defense held NE at bay but the offense couldn't do anything. AND then Josh bombs his best pass to date to Knox. After that he was locked in and I was thoroughly impressed was his game. He was not perfect, but he was great and did just about everything he could to will the team to victory. On the final drive I felt like we were gonna score I didn't even doubt it. Talk about such a 180 as a Bills fan for how many years I never believed we would do it, but Allen has been soo good late in games finding ways to win its a cool feeling. I really wish we could've seen what the game would've finished if Morse wasn't injured. It never felt like Allen had a real chance as the line turned into an EZ-Pass. 3. I do not think I have seen the Patriots that motivated and pumped up for a game against the Bills. The entire thing felt like a playoff game throughout and you could tell they were throwing every punch they could to try and win. I think New England did a good job making the Bills defense over-pursue at points as the last bunch of weeks Buffalo's defense has been quite successful being aggressive. It also looked like NE had more blockers in then they usually do to give Brady more time. 4. Speaking of our Defense YIKES. It's one game and overall they have been great. BUT dear god was their tackling and lane coverage garbage. By the second half I honestly think they were exhausted given how much they were on the field and running on fumes. Additionally I think for the weeks worth of big games finally caught up to them at little bit as they never looked completely sharp minus the 4th down stop which setup Buffalo's first touchdown. The best thing for this unit will be a week off to rest everyone and let them get healed for the playoffs. Milano had an awful game and in general I think he has been a touch off this year. I have to believe coming back in less then a year from a bad leg break is not easy and the Milano from 2018 we won't see completely return until 2020. That's not a shot at him as much of a reality considering how good he is like 95% of the time. 5. The powers that be around the league saw Josh and the narrative has changed. PFF which has notoriously not liked Allen even credited him for his improvement and the work the Bills have done. When my twitter feed of national analysts is saying he’s the second best of the draft and one of the better young QB’s the change has happened. Good for Josh and Good for the Bills. 6. I 100% figured Edelman was faking. The replay showed as much and you could see his face look and see if they bought it. I love that Poyer jacked him up when he tried to go dirty, I only wish he was injured for real. The guy is scum like Landry. 7. Ed Oliver was the one defender I thought had a great day. He seemed to make a quite few good stops at the line and even chased Brady down from scoring. He really has turned it on in the 2nd half of the season and I am soo excited to see him Edmunds Milano and White keep growing as a core on defense. 8. The biggest disappointment to me of the game was the fact the Bills broke for the TD NE scored to go back up 24-17. All season in the 4th quarter they were able to lock it down and at least only allow a FG. Had they allowed a FG Buffalo probably wins 20-19 (AH scary score memory!). The only time this year I saw the defense finally get broken was against PHI, the Burkhead TD was the second. 9. John Brown has had a career year and his TD was one of beauty. Cole Beasley is 55 yds and 8 catches from a career year if they play him against the Jets. While the offense is not other worldly, I do think credit is still due to Beane and the coaches for getting the offense to a decent level and a passing game that is competent for the most part. They absolutely need to find a true #1 WR to add one more playmaker to the offense, but I think its cool Cole and Brown are having great years. I think most of us only figured one of them would not both. 10. Buffalo’s defense is going to give whoever their Wildcard opponent is one hell of a day. The Defense has responded quite nicely to any failure they’ve had and with some needed rest they will be ready to go like an F-14 Tomcat off a carrier. That said if the team wants to make a run in the playoffs the offense will have to get that TD and finish in one of these games. Happy Holidays everyone and Go Bills!

No way he is overrated he had a bad night as did the entire defense. Everyone was missing tackles and not covering their lanes. I do think though the defense is tired at this point considering the amount of big games they've had the last few weeks and work they've had to do. Additionally Milano has been a step back this year at points compared to last year. I think part of that is just him recovering from his injury and even though there may be no risk, I think he has been slightly behind and you will see a better Milano next year.

Hundreds literally hundreds of birthdays

Sisqo's Thong Song, everyone wearing thongs can take em off and throw em on the field This is the correct answer

NFL has stopped that rule a few years ago. It is no longer a requirement for every team to have a night game, its why the TNF game schedule has improved they stopped doing the divisional matchups being mandatory. Now do most teams get at least one game? Yes but I do believe it was the Browns or Jags recently did not have any. Chargers played the Titans last year in London

Exactly. Its about market more then anything. The Bills will get at least two night games plus one or two at 4, but expect them to be against opponents that draw on TV.

I am just saying enough time has passed to let the trial run go again. Also with the team ascending and getting national attention you don't get to control that as much. If the media wants it at night its happening. The big difference was everyone knew the Bills got into the playoffs on luck and the NFL basically said show us your for real. It took a year extra but they have now. Prior to that every playoff team had received at least two night games going back to forever.

So I cover this pretty extensively once we hit the offseason but lets have fun now. Any team that has made the playoffs at least gets a MNF and typically one other night game. After that it is based off market, interest, stars, success etc.. The Bills of 2018 were the first time in forever a team that made the playoffs only got singular night game and it was the NFL basically saying we don't think you actually are that good even though you made the playoffs. The Bills home and away schedule is pretty much set to this next year: Home: Jets, Pats, Phins, Chiefs, Chargers, Seahawks, Rams, and AFC N equal which most likely will be the Steelers baring a collapse on their part Away: Jets, Pats, Phins, Broncos, Raiders, 49ers, Cardinals, and AFC South which should be the Titans if everything stays as is (MAYBE Colts if they win out and Titans lose out) Looking at the caliber of opponents and the amount of star type players Buffalo will certainly be getting at least two night games and a a few 4 PM games given the West coast opponents. My guess just based off of who we have is something like this: SNF: home vs Seahawks MNF: at NYJ TNF: home vs Pats 4:25 games- Chiefs, 49ers & Raiders Yes I am calling for 6 games to be not at 1:00pm, but Buffalo has proved they are a team and next year IF Brady leaves they will be the favorites for the AFC East. Any major matchup that is not 1:00pm will be against major markets or draws. A MNF game that is Bills Cardinals would actually be really fun but your not going to get enough market. I could see the Bills re-matching PIT at home on national TV, but the NFL/TV networks tend to protect certain teams and I just can't see them letting the Steelers get one of their night matchups be Buffalo unless it is flexed again. They've hosted at home in 16 and 18 with nothing bad happening and national media saying it was a great environment. I think mgmt is probably less skiddish now. Remember when they took over in 2014 it was just a little over a year plus from two people dying in the parking lots. I don't blame them for being nervous

sex toys on the field?

This is why I hate Steeler fans. I know they have a solid base with a good amount of diehards, my brother in law and boss both really love the steelers. BUT They are honest to a fault with their team also and never would do this crap. BUT then you get the bandwagoners who like the Steelers because they been good forever and just jump on arrogantly for the ride. These fans I loathe and the Steelers I've found have the most of them. She's lucky you were the one that said that, I was suppose to be there but we had to cancel due to my son being sick. I would've been rentlessly hard with taunts. If she knew an ounce of football she'd know how fortunate the Steelers are to have been in SB's at least once ever decade since 1970 and how rare that level of success is and to just appreciate what they've had forever.

Yea I know my history pretty well on the Bills and there def were lean year. It's too bad Ralph wouldn't pay Chuck Knox it absolutely spiraled the team faster. Had the NFL expanded the playoffs earlier I think the 70s Bills would've had a few more appearances but such is life. It was cool hearing Collinsworth say that about Allen. I think he himself probably undersold Allen in his own head, but virtually anyone who has met the guy after has said the same. Def agree with the Wilson comparison. Rus really didn't find his true elite play until after the SB appearances ironically. I see some Big Ben too where he was OK for PIT for 2-3 years before taking that next leap. I wouldn't be surprised if realistically its around year 4 Allen truly finds himself just given what he needs to learn given his raw background. Given Pitttsburgh's LACK of offense the Bills played a very straight forward game. Move the ball and score enough points so you have the lead. PIT was not gonna be able to get past 13-14 pts so truthfully running the clock was smarter then hurry up even if it meant lack of points. I agree the offense looks better when they are more creative but given the pressure issues against BAL and PIT's strength on D being the front 7 it was a smart move for this game. Long term yea I think the offense is better for running a quasi no huddle attack. Screens idk wtf these idiots are doing. The one to Singletary got blown up for one yard... and then we took a 10 yard penalty. I think teams found ways to cover the sweeps better and as the offense has found other things that work they have left that in their tool chest. My wife and I were hoping McKenzie would've got one of those jet sweep tosses, but if you do not use it a ton it becomes a weapon again in the future.

Right? That's what I thought because they typically send Poyer down a lot to help with the run or just hit people in general haha

Its hard because it looks like Poyer expect Hyde to got with Hurst and then realizes it too late.

My bad. I guess just in general I think Hyde has been slightly below what we have seen. Like I said still love the dude and trust him but also wouldn't be surprised if he has a ding on him. Dang it you found the special prize! Virgil where's your write up, have you been too busy celebrating and breaking tables?

The page has been turned, the stone has been written on, and peace has been restored. Ladies and gentleman the Bills made the playoffs for the second time in three years and as one of the many who are part of the lost generation (aka drought years) I have peace with a new era and leaving that past behind. Growing up as a child (born 1988) I have very vague memories of the Bills doing well. My first playoff memory was Flutie in 98 losing in Miami. I tried ripping my Dolphin playing cards up I was so mad. Then 99 happened with the music city miracle. I watched religiously the 1990 highlight video its 58 minutes long on VHS at my grandparents and the comeback game which my grandfather recorded on VHS. But again this was a past I like many my age know small pieces of and seem truthfully more legend then reality because I wasn't old enough minus the end to truly live it. 2004 felt forever like the demarcation line as the team truly turned from being relevant and competent in many aspects to a shell of itself which was worse then a national joke of losing SBs because the team didn't matter. The team moving mattered and man did the national media like to bring that up. I was and am an optimist and I never completely believed they would move but I may have been lying knowing how much that would've hurt. I don't need to recap the blunder of the drought, but until 2014 what an awful uncertainty it was and hard way to be a fan. Terry and Kims arrival in 2014 did feel like a new day, going to games became just having fun and cheering your team, not going because you were not sure what the future would give. By the same token the only way to truly reset the dye was winning and playoffs. Simple as that. 2017 was magical for everyone because it was the death of an awful streak that ruined the ability to have fun and be in the dance. That week from clinching against MIA right through JAX was the most fun as a Bills fan I had, but you did wonder where we were headed as it was more luck to be in then skill. 2019 though was slaying the dragon that still existed. You can finally believe that the best days are ahead, that the Bills will get more right then wrong not the opposite, that the idea of Buffalo being a consistent winning team is the norm and acceptable not a dream. The future is not written but the past certainly plays a role in dictating your feelings on what it may be. In 2017 it was tears and jubilation, this is more gratification and a quiet excitement of where we go. To every Bills fan congrats and lets start circling those bigger wagons the next month here! On to thoughts: 1. Tre White is a national brand. I am so happy for Tre that he finally is getting the credit and exposure that has ignored for far to long. He will be getting a massive contract coming up and he deserves every dollar. Tre just seems like a generally great dude which is really fun to have, but his skills are tremendous. How the Bills managed to let go of the other best CB in football and get his equal who is a happier cheaper version I still will not understand. 2. Shaq Lawson has been superb the last year and half, but Jordan Phillips is the guy I care more about resigning. I actually think the Bills will resign both of them as they have a lot of space and Lawson has matured into a dependable good player and leader. But Phillips really has solidified the middle since coming here and between him, Oliver, and Harrison I love our DT position moving forward. If Phillips does not make the Pro Bowl it will be incredibly unfortunate as he and Tre Day are the two guys from this defense who truly deserve their spots on that team. Adam Gase letting go of Phillips is still mind blowing but it is also the reason the Jets are 5-9. 3. Josh Allen is a true gamer and the confidence he gives in crunch time as pretty cool. For as much as I am a numbers guy the eye test is equally as important with how a player composes himself on the field and as the pressure cooks up. Say what you want about Brady but the guy in his career was terrifying anytime things got tight and I have always respected his ability to not sweat a moment when things got tight. Allen shows a lot of that to me and as the stage has expanded this year he has passed some good size tests whether it was Dallas on Thanksgiving or against PIT on SNF. He has not been perfect either as BAL he was off a bit and the first Pats game seemed too much for him in the 1st half. But the progress is certainly there and as things got more intense he has gotten steadier for the most part. One of the coolest things about making the playoffs is the Bills have a playoff birth with a QB leading them that they drafted and identified. That is a very very important thing that I do not want to undersell. 4. Cole Beasley is either very good or very bad. The last two weeks he has been dreadful with ill time drops and an INT that is on him. People can say the throw could've been better etc... but I go back to where I was last year when Clay dropped Allens pass. It was a good enough pass for an NFL WR/TE to make the catch and they should make it. If you are not confident for the love of god don't go for it because the moment it gets fumbled its getting picked 95% of the time. Beasley started the year decent and then went cold from TEN - WSH getting just 91 yards for 11 catches although he did have 3 TD's. In the 4 game stretch of CLE - DAL he had 20 catches, 298 yds, and 2 TDs. Now the last two weeks he has just 5 catches for 35 yards a TD and INT. He is vital to this offense being more productive and I do not think it is mistake that the best stretch the offense has had during the MIA-DEN-DAL stretch he was a big part of. Allen seems to avoid him if he makes a mistake early on which I understand a bit but it then hems the offense back. If there is one thing I want from the offense before the playoffs it is to get Beasley more consistently involved and for Cole to get his head together himself and be more dependable. 5. The Bills infuriated me and then made me happy on back to back series. I get last night was a game where conservativeness was fine given the opponent but I hated the goal line series after the Tre INT. After such a big play they played soo scared in my eyes and it felt like they should've just kicked the FG on 1st down instead. Yet literally right afternoon they attack and let Allen uncork it downfield and let him on 3rd down go after Kroft in the endzone. I've gotten to the point I think the coaching staff holds Allen down more then Allen does when it comes to his stats and poor play. I am not disappointed with Daboll I think he has done a nice job moving things along this year. BUT if it worked on the second series why did we not do that on the first round through? 6. My wife and I ended up not being there which was an uber bummer but such is being parents. I was impressed with again how well the Bills fans traveled and was jealous not to be part of the celebration at the end. I stayed up past 1 am watching and listening to anything I could. 7. Micah Hyde to me has taken a small step back this year. He has been responsible for being the safety who has missed a few big plays this year (Hurst BAL, Cooper play against DAL, etc). In no means am I saying he has been bad, but the last two years he was a Pro Bowler in my eyes and rewarded as such. This year I think he has just been decent and missed on a few plays that mattered. Perhaps it is just circumstance with things but I wouldn't be surprised to find out he has a small injury or something. He usually is good for a few turnovers and has been absent with those. Still love Micah though! 8. I want Houston come playoffs. I think that is the best matchup the Bills have coming up. I watched all of the Titans Texans game and our front 7 can beat their offensive line handily. Their secondary is not very good, but they can get pressure. I think Buffalo can win like 20-17 in that game. Given me f*cking Houston.

My wife and I are going. We both are very nervous never went together to an out of town stadium.

It is my belief that since WGR550 took over the Bills for all broadcast related things (games, John Murphy show, etc..) they have been forced to change their format a ton. Both the morning and afternoon shows use to be more caller based and they had a lot of producer related jokes like Panther or the many drafts they do which have been cut back or removed completely. I think it was done to streamline and have a more professional presence as the voice of the Bills. If you listen they have far more reporters both internal and guest the regularly are on the show so there is not as much time. My wife who doesn't care to listen to them has grown to love listening to WGR after games. It is freakin hysterical some of the calls. Truthfully losses are better then wins because the places people go are downright astonishing.

KC- Bigger city and market NE- Bigger city and market GB- Season ticket waiting list so long your lucky if after a decade you can get tickets and the stadium/area is a pilgrimage for football fans Buffalo.... we tailgate They don't have to do PSLs. For some reason people just assume it has to be done, its an organizational choice. Higher ticket prices mean the team is healthier and in demand. Having tickets this available at a low price before a game of this magnitude does not reflect the best.

Nope. They traded him because he was not a fit. I do believe he has matured and moved on but at this point he is busted goods given his health. The talent was there had he put the work in to be an all time great but as others said he cared more about being a star.
