  1. How? A team that turns the ball over 3 (should've been 4) times in the 1st half, kills drives with penalties, and has stupid offensive coaching doesn't exactly scream "better team."
  2. Allen is just missing the awareness needed to ever be who the Bills want him to be.
  3. Killing ourselves yet again. Same undisciplined team.
  4. But can he break Peterman's record? The world wants to know! On a serious note, he still holds on to the ball too long.
  5. Thankfully this will be the year Tom's age catches up to him. *Positive Thoughts* *Positive Thoughts* *Positive Thoughts*
  6. Instead of Buffalo Bills, I'd rename them to Buffalo Wings. Just straight up Buffalo Wings. If a game is on, they always show the falls and someone, somewhere making wings anyway, might as well just embrace it. The city is already known for Buffalo Wings, why not make them known for THE Buffalo Wings too? lol
  7. I doubt switching zip codes would do much. It'll just see the same IP address either way, giving away your location. VPN's might work, but there can be other issues with that too. If your VPN will allow you to select the location, it could potentially work, but a lot of them randomly bounce around, sometimes out of country. The reason that can definitely be an issue is Hulu is very region locked. It's not available outside North America, so you might just get booted from Hulu straight up lol.
  8. I'm hating my ESPN Fantasy league more by the day... Stupid auto drafting that first pick botched my season. F*** Mr. Brown lol
  9. ? So it was pre-karma!? I hadn't even picked the Jets yet at that point lol I hope the Bills thrash them, but considering the Jets-Slayer Matt Barkley is on the bench, I think the Bills are going to lose a close one.
  10. I trust all the guys that picked the Bills. They're all reputable gentlemen with honor & integrity. The other guys are all known jackholes. They are biased, uninformed, and I've got a bigger brain than them. Times two.
  11. I mean, we kept 5 tight ends. didn't we? I really think we'd have been ok with only 4, and keeping Duke instead...but maybe I'm just not privy to the super sweet triple TE packages we're planning to run.
  12. Friggin stupid auto draft on ESPN picked AB for me in round 1... Couldn't get logged in to my account in time, but when I hopped on & saw I had been given AB, I knew I was screwed lol
  13. How does that logic make any sense? Is it more likely that out of aaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllll players in the league, he is an MVP candidate (fyi - that prediction being made before a single regular season snap) Or...and stay with me here, OR he's just not. Considering only a handful of people out of 1600+ people are even up for consideration, and another 1600+ just ARE NOT up for consideration, which do the odds favor? Oh, "before even a regular season snap?" Gee, which is more "dingus-like" again? The odds that show 99% of people in the league, even the great ones, are NOT MVP candidates, or the blind hope idea that our QB just magically will be? Tell me again, which is more nonsensical?
  14. Yeah... That one was about as ridiculous as they come. I hope he's right too, but I also can't make myself believe something on blind hope.
  15. I'm in jail right now, so yeah, we've got access lol Granted, I'm not an inmate, but still... ?
  16. So here's the link to the article that actually works - https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27435008/buffalo-bills-2019-nfl-season-preview-josh-allen-next-step Also, if this prediction ends up being true, our offense will be massively improved over 2018 - Bold prediction: Beasley finishes with a 100-catch season The former Dallas Cowboy has averaged 3.1 receptions per game in his career after playing in a run-heavy offense with elite receiving options around him. But he'll be one of, if not the focal point of Buffalo's passing attack in 2019. He might not lead the league in receiving yards, but he can average the 6.3 receptions per game he needs to reach the 100-catch mark. -- Louis-Jacques
  17. Brissett really isn't bad at all. He's a pretty solid backup, and can be a serviceable starter.
  18. People are overlooking the worst part of all this... Shady & Allen's super neato TD super secret handshake high five celebration thingy will now be gone! How will Josh celebrate in style now?!?!
  19. Hey now, our GM got rid of our of 2nd round pick (that we traded up for) who didn't play a snap his rookie season due to injury before he even played a game for us! He also traded our 2nd round pick from the year before that who had only played 2 seasons with us! So suck it, we get rid of even higher draft picks ?
  20. Kinda wished I had watched Hard Knocks now...
  21. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/nathan-peterman-expected-to-make-raiders-roster-133407701.html "Rapoport reports that head coach Jon Gruden likes Peterman and wants to help turn his career around. That is no surprise to anyone who has kept up with the Raiders on HBO’s “Hard Knocks”, where Gruden has been complimentary of the former Buffalo Bills quarterback." Well that's nice of him! It's cool to see Gruden's taken a personal interest in Peterman & wants to help resurrect his career. I hope he's successful.
  22. Even though Shady looked to be past his prime, he was still a household name known around the country. With him being released, who is their a player left who's name, jersey, personality, etc. brings attention to the team by themselves alone? When McBeane took over, we had Sammy Watkins, LeSean McCoy, Marcell Dareus, and arguably Kyle Williams. We got rid of Watkins prior to the regular season starting, eventually picked up Kelvin Benjamin (who wasn't a "star" but was at least well known), then proceeded to trade or cut them, with Williams eventually retiring. Yes, I know we all know Jerry Hughes, he's great, but most people don't know a thing about him (not like he brings a lot of attention to himself either, which I'm fine with). Most NFL fans tend to at least know the starting QB for each team, so Allen may be at least generally known, but aside from him we really don't have any recognition anymore. At this point, I think the 1 year rental RB in Frank Gore is our biggest "star." Ed Oliver could be the bigger name, but I'm not so sure many people associate him with the Bills or even remember he's a part of this team. Every time I discuss the Bills with my NFL friends, they seem to have already forgotten all about him. Hell, I still hear far more about Nathan Peterman when discussing the Bills than anyone else by a LONG shot. With that being said, who's most likely to jump to that status & become the name people will bring up most often in relation to the Bills? If they had to name a handful of players, who would be those names? I'd say Devin Singletary, Ed Oliver (if he isn't already), Tremaine Edmunds and obvious Josh Allen if he can even just manage a solid year overall. Outside of that, we're pretty low on personality & national recognition, which I'm not saying is a "bad" thing, it just is what it is. The only bad thing is whether we're considered a desirable team for viewership potential. The lack of nationally televised games, or even games outside of the 1:00/12:00 CST time slot is heavily influenced by not only prior record, but by star power. Market matters, but if a team has a lot of personality & intrigue surrounding its players, it becomes a hot candidate for prime time games. ************************* TL;DR - Do we have any real "stars" left? Who do you think potential future stars could be? Do those of you who live outside of Buffalo know people or have friends who don't follow the team but are aware of big name players?
  23. Was hoping it wouldn't happen, but it was clear someone needed to go. May as well be the expensive guy on the last year of his contract. Sadly, this means on a national stage Beane & McDermott have officially finished gutting the last of our star power. Better hope Josh Allen really takes that next step.
  24. Until proven otherwise, the AFC East is still the worst division in football. We have the Patriots, and a bunch of consistently bottom feeder teams year after year after year. We pretty much allow the Pats to cruise to the playoffs uncontested year in & year out, giving them an easier shot than most at a Super Bowl. The AFC South may be considered the weakest now, but even so, the AFC East isn't far behind.
