The video I saw, it looked like it cleared it and landed in the players’ parking lot.

I’ve been doing wings on the Big Green Egg the last several weeks, and they are the BOMB. Not going to shy away from those now.

I think us Bills fans are due for a non-stressful game for once!

McDermott the o-lineman earlier in the week.

Haha. That's awesome! I love my Yeti stuff. We have probably 7-8 of the cups, plus 2 of the coolers, 1 hard sided and 1 soft sided for bringing to the pool in the summer. The stuff is EXPENSIVE - but it really does an amazing job - and working for a yeti dealer certainly helps. I had my hard one out back on the patio for 3 days in July after my son's birthday party (In Charlotte, where it's 100 degrees every day) and that sucker still had ice in it.

Yes, it's actual Yeti brand. We're a Yeti dealer here at work so I can buy them at cost basically... I had our paint guy paint a plain stainless one the blue and red, then slapped the decal on and had him clear coat over it.

With a team that was not good offensively. And it doesn't take a "QB scout" to know that Peyton Manning is a good QB.

Yes, I know their wives are very close friends. I work at a car dealership in Charlotte, and Angie Smith is one of my customers. She saw my Bills YETI cup and told me that "Oh my best friend's husband plays for Buffalo" and of course, she said Lorenzo Alexander. Which is strange why they are so close... I mean I don't know that Steve Smith and 'Zo were ever on the same team together.

No, I'm with you there, too. If he had 3 years left on his deal, that'd be one thing. I'm not giving up a 3 or better to have a guy for less than a full season, then walk in FA.

I don't understand why this is such a hard concept for so many to grasp. If Patrick Mahomes had that baggage, teams would still be drooling over him. Why bring on that baggage for a guy that, ideally, should never have to even play?

Who is Mike Freeman?

The Browns and Eagles are certainly capable of beating us, but we're capable of beating them too. All depends on which Eagles/Browns team shows up that particular week.

Since Coach McDermott became head coach of the Bills, I don't know that there is another coach in the league that has gotten more out of his players than him. While we haven't won a playoff game (yet!), we went to the playoffs at 9-7 with a team in his first year that, talent-wise, had no business being anywhere near that mark, and the same can be said for last year. The fact that THAT group last year won six games is a huge testament to McDermott and his staff.

Because they don't bring the circus with them. It's that simple. Nobody is going to bring in that circus for a mediocre backup QB. If it's Tom Brady? absolutely. A guy that great is worth the headache. I'll even say Deshaun Watson is worth that headache because I know I'll be called "racist" for using a white QB to make my point. The point is, if the guy is your franchise QB, multiple SB winner, etc., it's worth that headache. Why bring all that nonsense for a guy who might not even play and is a backup? Why piss off fans, potentially lose ticket sales? If the guy is Brady or Deshaun Watson, or Lamar Jackson, or, hell, Patrick Mahomes, it ain't going to cost you ticket/merch sales, because their play can overcome the negative.

I have an issue with the poll. I can say that I think he should be ALLOWED to play - which at this point, he is ALLOWED to play, if a team signs him. It's up to the owner of any business who they hire. If they think hiring someone will be detrimental to their business, then you cannot force an employer to hire them. It's that simple.

Saw this last night and all I could think was that they're in "win now" mode. This is the definition of "mortgaging the future"

How dare you spew all of that logic?!?!?!?

The fact that now it can be reviewed and they still screw it up. They're not actually blowing the calls on the field any worse, IMO. Just the fact that they blow the replay too, makes it worse.

Not just no. Hell no.

This has been a loooooooooooooong week.

I thought the same. It seems worse this year than ever before. I was told by another poster to quit whining, we say that every year. I don't know. Maybe it's because more stuff is now reviewable, and they're blowing the reviews that makes it seem worse? It seems like every week, the officials end up having an impact on the outcome of a game in a negative way.

Beans is a freaking wizard, no doubt. His uncanny ability to get SOMETHING for players that are of no value to us or seemingly anybody else is amazing - Russell Bodine and Marshall Newhouse come to mind.

The fact that Josh stayed in town for the bye..... He's been working. Let's hope it shows

I hope for Rosen's sake there's an ambulance on standby in the tunnel at New Era Field.
