Inigo, thanks for a good topic. The above #s reflect TDs teams scored on us. The Bills D did not score last year and were last in that stat.

Never Been A fan

Ike Boettger - G and C prospect beats out Teller for spot 9 on line

When they wear these unis!

LMFAO - spat out my coffee on a clean tee shirt too! Thanks House

My take is that a national outlet reporter from outside the area has little context to summons when initially assigned to a new team/city. Not to mention no inside sources or strong relationships with team management, coaches or players. It's a tough gig. IMHO Rodak did alright in his time here and was pretty objective and never played the Homer role. Wish him and his wife the best in starting a new chapter in their life.

Same Nate Orchard cut by Bills last year after being picked up from the Browns. Went on to KC and then was signed by Seahawks before winding up in MIA. Not exactly a top tier pass rusher beating Mills like a drum.

Kid I looked just as good in shorts AND rocked a mullet.

Sorry - I searched on article title, nfl.com and it didn't come up.

WNYers in NC via FLA are halfbacks. Moved to the Sunshine State then moved halfway back home.

Funny that's why I liked him! Never hurts to get in the other guy's kitchen. He was a tough little SOB

Wow. Hard to believe he is unaware that the original "Tom Terrific", another Californian by birth, lives and breathes. And is already in a Hall of Fame! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Seaver

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001032530/article/bills-josh-allen-taking-reins-developing-that-trust Didn't see this linked here yet. Kevin Patra from NFL.Com shares this quote from Josh: "This year, I sat down with 'Dabs' (Brian Daboll) and went over what I like, what I didn't like. And he's trusting me in that mindset. If there's a play that he wants to call, and I don't like it, he's not going to call it. So, it's developing that trust." A quick read with some update on how he is maturing in year 2.

Confused by Stephenson / Polian comment. Stephenson was HC in Polian' s 1st yr here - 1984 season - when Polian was Director of Pro Personnel. Terry Bledsoe was Bill's GM for 1984 and 1985 drafts. Stephenson coached only 5 games in 1985 before being fired Polian became GM 1/1/1986 when Stephenson was already gone and after Ralph fired Bledsoe

When you get on the whiskey....

I didn't always get in trouble when I drank. But every time I got in trouble i was drunk.

As stated - prefer the sound and video of Buffalo Stampede from Dancing with Wolves over the train horn. It's a Buffalo thing I guess.

3 changes as mentioned throughout thread please: 1. No train horn on 3rd down on D - maybe play Buffalo Stampede instead. 2. Play an entrance song for the team - Buffalo Soldier - especially if league relaxes weed rules ? 3. Bills Shout song after TDs and after Bills force a turnover.

The left footed one had a shoulder from the dreaded fake FG (his understanding)

think Eli Harold and Mike Love may give him a battle come training camp. Thought Mike Love sang for the Beach Boys?

Ty Nsekhe - love his story. He will be in starting 5 somewhere. #79 in your program. 1st Guy off the bus!

While he may be able to be a gunner, he hasn't done so to date. And he or Sills have no value as returners. They both face an uphill battle for 6th WR spot. ST ability will be a factor as to who claims that spot.

Not following the logic here. Roberts is a great ST return man who has put up respectable #s as a depth WR. Sills and Duke are bigger slower guys who don't play STs at all

I did an analysis of all AFC playoff teams and said scoring 400 pts on year, or 25 ppg is a key indicator for playoff teams in AFC. Here is the main body of a previous post. Some food for thought: The average total points scored for the season by all 2018 qualifying AFC Playoff teams was 442 total points or 28 ppg. For perspective, the Bills scored 269 total points or 17 ppg in 2018. In 2017 the Bills scored 302 total points or 19 ppg when they snuck in the back door of the playoffs. The average points surrendered for the season by all 2018 qualifying AFC Playoff teams was 337 total points or 21 ppg. or perspective, the Bills surrendered 374 total points or 23.5 ppg in 2018. In 2017 the Bills surrendered 359 total points or 22.5 ppg when they snuck in the back door of the playoffs. Weird that they made playoffs with a negative scoring differential. While I can see Bills dropping points against in 2019 to the 21 ppg level with improved D in Yr 3 of system and better time of possession on offense, I am not sure Bills can increase scoring by 11 ppg in 2019. The one playoff team that they could emulate would be Baltimore who scored at a 24.5 ppg rate. Can the Bills score 400 points or 25 points per game in 2019? They did in 2016 with Tyrod and Rex! In 2019 if Josh Allen throws 24 TDs and runs for 12 more TDs we are at 252 points. Throw in 10 Rushing TDs for RBs and we are at 322 points. 26 FGs (his Average) by House Money and we are at 400 Points scored even. Anything else (ST returns or defensive Scores) is Gravy! Bills have to go 6-2 at home and 4-4 on road top have a shot at wild card in 2019. They were 6-2 at home in 2017 but have not gone 4-4 on the road since 2014 when they beat Pats in Foxboro in last game of season when Brady was pulled after halftime. This is the hard part. Good teams can win on the road. So to summarize in 2019 the Bills will make playoffs if they: Go 10-6 on season. The AFC North will be tough but PItt and CIN are in chaos. The NFC East might be the softest division in NFC next year. And we draw TN and DEN as our extra AFC Games and both are winnable. Score 400 or more points or > 25 PPG. Offense improving by 8ppg Give up 335 points or less <21 PPG. Defense improving by 2.5 ppg

Add Marino and Kelly to that list - sub 60%ers
