Haha yea my wife and I watch all day to so I guess it isn't too big a difference. I actually really started liking the London games because it was literally football for 12 hours plus all day. I believe Titans in 2000 was really their last night victory.

See I am the inverse I love 4pm games or primetime games because you get the entire day to work or do whatever and then you have the game. Plus more later games means more national exposure which I am always for.

For those of you who read Peter King's MMQB on SI website you probably saw this in his favorite games looking ahead to 2018. For those of you who haven't read his MMQB I highly recommend it. Real strong insight and clues to future NFL moves both team, player, and league wise. Anyway: "• Jacksonville at Buffalo. Just wondering how Doug Marrone will be welcomed when he walks out of the tunnel for the first time since walking away from the Bills after the 2014 season. " This was listed in his top 11. First off its cool that the Bills were finally relevant enough to break into the top 11 games when most are teams like NE, PIT, PHI, & GB. Secondarily though many times the games he lists in pieces like this receive priority by the league networks for being at night or at minimum the 4:15 slot. I invest a lot of time into how the league does its scheduling and previously posted that every team that makes the playoffs hosts at least one MNF and generally gets 3 night games (TNF, MNF 2x or 1 SNF also.) Based off how things are trending I could really see the Bills hosting the Jags early in the season like week 2 as the home opener when both teams still are very early on and you can play off last seasons hype. Do you think the Bills host at night against the Jags or are they 4:15 on Sunday? Or no national attention at all for this game?

haha oh yea just snap your fingers, sign a few guys, and have your backup QB play lights out. Now our backup is Nathan Peterm... sh*t he just threw another pick

This makes zero sense they are rebuilding which is why they traded Darby/Watkins/Dareus. They just happened to finally get some competent coaching and luck that finally led to a playoff year. They could go 6-10 7-9 next year and it wouldn't be a failure to me in the least given the fact they are reseting the talent base right now.

They play in the same division as NE. Until Brady and BB are gone we will always have crappy odds

I have been waiting for the Sabres bubble to burst for years and I really hope this is the season it happens. Fans have invested too much and expected frankly success too fast IMO not that is their fault either from the product for far too long. On the other hand the team has done zilch for the fans in terms of experience, give aways, food, presentations, and the team itself is a tire fire. If it takes a year to ground zero expectations and the Sabres Org has to realize they need to do more then so be it things will long term be better.

McDaniels with Luck should go well I'd think but dear god if I was a Lions fan I wouldn't want Patricia. The Patriots DVOA for defense was only 18th in the league and it clearing illustrated how the offense gave them a huge advantage with field position, situational football, etc.. I think he is Charlie Weis all over again.

Haha by the way how are Lions feeling about that hire right about now lol

If you cannot admit that Brady is the GOAT then just stop even talking because your jealous and your Bills bias is showing. If you honestly are judging QBs solely if SB record then Marino Fouts Kelly and a list of other greats apparently don't register above guys like Trent Dilfer and Nick Foles himself. Bob Griese won two SB titles so with your logic Marino was a worse QB. What Brady has done with the Patriots will most likely never be equaled again by any QB especially in the age of parity. You compare Montana who played where it was far easier to keep a elite team together with no salary cap together. Exactly which of the 41 pts last night was Bradys fault also. They put up over 500 yards of offense 33pts and lost. How exactly for any team or QB is that remotely the offenses fault.

I think if you looked at most teams in terms of coach turnover you would find its far more common then normal. In regards to QB and player holes that is the task of the GM to fill and build the new base. QB is hard whether they draft 1st or 21st just because it is such a roll of the dice either way I just want them to draft someone.

While I don't like the Patriots perhaps don't blow a freakin 28-3 lead in the SB and this isn't an issue. The way the Pats pride themselves as a team/org on 28-3 is the same as how us as Bills fans brag about 35-3 against Houston.

Same here. Honestly I don't understand where this noise about Luck keeps coming from I have read nothing from anyone formidable in the NFL media even hinting this would happen. To me is minor Bills fan sites like Buffalo Rumblings who get excited and read one tiny tidbit about Luck which they turn into the zapruder film.

Haha I can't stop thinking of this with the question:

I am afraid of heights so that 100% makes me nervous with this draft

I think they were more of a 5-7 win team and they got extremely lucky in ATL/DEN/KC to get some turnovers that won them the game. Add in that IND easily could've been a lost had Vinaterri hit the FG and yea the season looks different. BUT they did go 9-7 so credit goes I guess where credits due.

Of these moves I see the following Releasing QB Tyrod Taylor prior to the March signing bonus deadline would add $15.44 million to the 2018 cap (no-brainer) Releasing OT Jordan Mills would add $1.95 million to the 2018 cap. Releasing OG Vlad Ducasse would add $1.02 million to the 2018 cap. So they can add about 18 mil back to the cap. Additionally I also would release these two: -Releasing TE Charles Clay would add $4.5 million to the 2018 cap -Releasing FB Patrick Dimarco would add $1.55 million to the 2018 cap I am not cutting LoRax, Hughes, Incognito, or Shady. You still need solid players plus a superstar like McCoy and we have enough holes to fill as is without worrying new ones being created. I think you hit the nail on the head in regards to last season and making the playoffs removes soo much pressure on McBeane so a bad season or two could be had. That said nothing they have said or done strikes me that they would slash the roster especially of guys like Shady, Incognito, or LoRax who are some of the leaders on the team. They are culture 1000% and I believe decisions are made very much with this in mind. If you slash a roster the way some have proposed it cripples everything last season built. I don't think many fans think this team is much more then a playoff contender at best and if they have a rookie QB I think many would expect a season like 2013 with some good and bad while the team still competes but isn't there yet. Maybe I am wrong but even with a rookie QB and say Bradford driving this train I don't see much more then 9-10 wins best and more likely 6-8. I really will be more concerned with the draft and hopefully whatever QB they view as the future and how that develops.

Elway has preferred an established guy over rookie throughout his tenor. I think he knows that it is harder to develop a QB although I would then say he isn't the GM genius some hinted at the same point if he find talent either.

Like I said if he has taken some steps and grown then this shouldn't be a problem. If he finishes a distant 3rd then he wasn't good enough anyway.

IMO he will compete next year for the starting spot with hopefully a high drafted QB prospect and a vet like Sam Bradford. He has a year of experience now some time to at least show your worthy of being the backup. If he can't do that then its on him for not progressing not a bad game.

I would not have hired Rex if I was running the team, but when he was hired I was OK with thinking that he had good defenses in the past and between the D we had and a better offense we could end the drought and be a fun good roster like KC. For me as soon as we lost to the Pats in week 2 and got shredded at home with his "vaunted D" I felt something was a miss. Marrone & Mularkey had put up a more disciplined closer fight then Rex did and of all the Bills games in my life I have never seen the team that uncomposed, it was just a disaster in week 2. And that to me pretty much summed up his term throughout. Any time a challenge came where it separated the big boys he failed as a coach. I was embarrassed because of the fact he couldn't keep his mouth shut and for a fanbase that has been starving for something the undelivered promises and ridicule was worse then just having a coach like Jauron who at least stayed quiet while sucking.

So I voted Bradford under the impression the Bills will be drafting a guy at 21 who I believe will be Mason Rudolph. IF they do not draft a QB then I would rather have Alex Smith.

You live in the heart of Pats country sooo yea best of luck

Truthfully the faster its over the quicker I get to the Bills doing exciting things like FA and the Draft so yea I could care less let NE win by 80 and hopefully BB or Brady retires haha

Had they have used him as a bridge QB and not the crazy contract they probably don't draft EJ and maybe even make the playoffs in 13 or 14 given the D we had. It was always the contract with him.
