      I always thought that State Farm is missing the perfect marketing campaign if they used Josh Allen instead of Rodgers or Mahommes.  Those two only seem to want to be sure they get their 'special rates'.   Josh would have more class and just explain he lives in the City of Good Neighbors and knows how well that works and challenge State Farm to live up to the level of WNYers who are always there for good causes.  Maybe State Farm just doesn't match up well compared to real Good Neighbors.

     

       I agree also that the USAA ads with Gronk miss the mark with poor attempt at humor.  It misses the mark as This multi-millionaire tries to get the rates that veterans have earned by serving the country instead of playing a game.  I'm a veteran and I dislike the USAA commercials with Gronk but I think know he's a big jerk anyway and I myself would rather he not try to associate himself with WNY because I  have yet to see him conduct himself in any way that exemplifies what I expect from any true WNYers.  Just cause he grew up here it doesn't seem he's got WNY values.  

     

     

    I'm really not trying to talk bad about someone I don't know, but I would definitely say he seems more like your friend the scarecrow. He even says he's special. 

    If he only had a brain, he could have learned all of that values stuff.

    I would hate for us to burn a 1st or 2nd round draft choice on a RB!

     

     

    I gotta say I agree, the op states they are round 2-Ish. I know nothing about college football, but I do know imo, it would be stupid to draft any rb at that point, unless it's a sure fire kind of thing.  I'm in the camp of fortify the OL.

    Definitely scared of your QB he rocks and obviously has the confidence of the coaching staff.  

    While I hated watching it, and hate saying this..... why pass if the bills d can't stop the run? There's no need to pass against this "defense"

    2 conferences of 17 teams, top 7 in each conference makes the playoffs, no divisions. 

     

    You play 17 games: every team in your conference once (16 games), plus 1 crossover game= 17 games. 

     

    Benefits:

     

    1. No 7-9 or 8-8 team gets to the playoffs for "winning" a cupcake division over a team with a better record

    2. Almost a totally balanced schedule: everyone in the conference plays the exact same schedule, aside from the crossover game. 

    3. When the playoffs begin, you'll have the true top 7 teams in each conference. 

    4. Interconference games would be unique, given that each team would have only 1. However, there could be 1 scheduled each week so there's always an AFC/NFC game on. 

     

    It's not too different from now, where you only play 5 interconference games anyway. It was 4 a year ago. It could be 1. 

     

    The numbers work perfectly for this. 

     

     

     

    I can see how this would be a good model. However, I think tradition would kill it before it ever got traction. 

  5. What I took away from this, and I only read OPs quotes, is that Allen was trying to make too many big plays. Which honestly seems like his m.o.

    He has been learning to go with what the Defense gives him, he just need to do it more often. 

    I really feel, had he hit those shorter passes,  they could have extended more drives, took more time off the clock and so on. 

    I have no doubt that this game will help him even more in making that adjustment, taking what is given and not trying to force it.

    Just a reminder for those of you like me that are crazy enough to stay up and enjoy it all over again! lol

     

    NFL Network

    Late Tonight

    1:30 AM

    The crazy part to me is who posted. Primetime101.

    I just finished watching the game again on Primetime on demand.

     Coolest part is the result of the game!!

    You fit in fine.  He’s a great guard but his contract will reset the market making it more unlikely we can keep the nucleus of this team together long term.  I’d rather spend the money on re-signing Williams and/or Feliciano.  Keep drafting and developing.

    That last sentence! That seems to be the plan thus far. Which makes perfect sense. Part of the "process" if you will.

  8. Marc Sessler has opined for us to land Joe Thuney, OG, from the ***patriots.

    I'm not really the one to post, but I really think this could be a fit for the OL.

    Here's the problem, I'm a football dumba**. 

    So many of you are way more football smart than I am. I know he would come on the somewhat expensive side, and he's an in-divison player, but other than that, is there a reason we shouldn't persue him?

    I'm an older fella, and I'm all about fortifying the "trenches", so to me this makes perfect sense. 

    What are the downfalls/cons of this?

    If the Giants lose, and they currently are,  that would make the combined record of the Bills opponents 0-9 I believe.  I'd hold on the superbowl reservations :)  But they are beating the bottom feeders (albeit struggling) instead of being a bottom feeder which is very pleasant.  The Pats game should show where they really are as a team.  

    I'm thinking it's a game that should show where both teams are.

    If we win it will be low scoring, like 9 to 12 or something ridiculous like that.

     

    But I'm not holding my breath.

    And all against crap teams ;)

    Just like us at the moment. 

    Im pretty hyped for a game of unbeatens.

    Is it just me or is anyone else wondering if Brandon Beane didn't do due diligence on the health of Kroft. He came here with foot problems, first day of OTA breaks foot, now this latest injury. Coach is putting on his game face but he has to be extremely disappointed.

    Honestly, I kinda forgot he was on the team. 

    Not sure if that's due to age or beer. 

     

    Also, didn't read past the first page, so sorry if someone else said who is TK.

    Sacks are very important. They're not overrated at all, IMO. But yeah, you can be good without getting them, especially if you're getting steady pressure.

    I totally agree. My only wonder, is which leads to more turnovers? Sacks, or  Qb pressures? Fumbles? Bad decisions?

    I'd look myself,.but I'm old, it would take too long.
