  1. Living in Houston I , unfortunately watched a lot, lot of David Carr. His O Line was a joke and he often had no shot at success at all, The physical and mental toll on the man had to be enormous. Yes I understand the macho he isn't tough enough to play in the NFL crap but there are limits to the amount of punishment a man can take without having an impact. Listen to Aikman's (who you used as an example in your prior post) interviews sometimes about after his disastrous first year, he said he was close to quitting football. Is David Carr an extreme example, probably hwe is just the most painfully obvious, are their other "David Carr's" out these, that never had the chance to succeed, probably we just dont know who could have succeeded and didnt. Forget all the "tough guy non-snese, what about the injury risk, the concussions, those are REAL concerns and I dont care how "tough" you are mentally. You told me to ask Aaron Williams , why dont you ask him why he stopped playing at the age of 26. Ask Brady, yeah great analogy there. David Carr took more hits in his rookie year than Brady has taken in his entire career. Brady, Mr Tough guy in the NFL that often runs ways from players after they intercept his balls.
  2. Good way to sell tickets, feed TO's ego and make a mockery of the team that does it. Maybe Jerry Jones should consider it, he has no dignity anyway.
  3. The website certainly can be improved but i go there for numerous things. The videos, where else are the collected and saved, the press conferences, interviews, game previews and highlights. The depth Chart, the Bills organization chart. OBD would be crazy to shut it down and they wont. Almost half the website is dedicated to merchandise and ticket sales and I certainly don't blame them.
  4. Agree 100%. I would rather sacrifice an entire season than ruin a potential franchise QB. I wasn't on board with going for Allen but now since you made the investment, maximize his potential to succeed. If our O LIne is dreadful that means were are not winning and fans will be screaming for Allen to start if he isnt. See how "tough" McD and Benae are, dont throw Allen out there under that situation.
  5. Oh my God, you are right, i can never look at her again with seeing a man's face. And I agree with your last comment, his very last playi in the last Super Bowl was beautiful..... a hail mary where he could barely heave it with all his might 50 yards.
  6. Without my father i wouldn't be alive to yes, he is certainly responsible.
  7. Mike Tolbert, my god why we even get on the list.
  8. Hope you are right and I am one of the few that still has hope for Peterman, granted not much but hope.
  9. Well Shady's exposure to him has been incredibly limited but nice to hear his comments. I think this one is very telling, "I want to be part of that when he takes over eventually", I bolded that, i am of the belief it is highly unlikely J Allen will be the starter to begin the season, he is going to need a lot of time to overtake AJ.
  10. Who is the San Fran QB, yes he completes a TD (to comically wide open receiver) but that footwork is beyond bad, it looks like a high school QB.
  11. Te White WAS the reason we won the Atlanta game, without him we don't make the playoffs in my opinion. All those veterans standing around and it is the rookie that has the smarts to pick up the ball for an easy TD. Also what also stands out about Tre is I believe he is the first kid in his family to graduate college and he easily could have entered the draft a year earlier and didn't, stayed to earn his degree at LSU. Quality guy.
  12. You are correct, Shreveport is a dump but across the river Bossier City is worse. and most of them are Cowboy fans. I visited a company there once and they brought me to what they said was the best food in the city, the freakin Casino and it was not, repeat not good.
  13. Could easily happen. We have no QB, zero continuity on the o line, yeah 2-14 is not an outlandish prediction.
  14. 1) AJM starts and plays well, not great but well. 2) Bills O Line is a disaster, McCoy is hurt game three and we go 6-10. 3) J Allen starts last three games
  15. This board never ever "disappoints". The guy writes a great letter praising Bill's fans and what do half the respondents do, dump ion the guy. The guy is going to be 35 in a month, he has every right to retire. He has made enough money, you think it would be healthy for him to keep playing, with his mental stability in serious question add on another year of CTE potential damage. Thanks for playing well in Buffalo Richie, good luck.
  16. Absolutely love it. Yes I would as well but his brilliance and passion lead him to do some crazy things like quitting on the Bills not once but twice, once in mid-season. I just counted up, he had 21 different coaching jobs plus one stint as NY Yankees President...that is not normal..
  17. That was the nature of the game back then. Look at HOF Joe Namath, his completion and his TD/int ratios were terrible by today's standards. QBs got hit hard and on almost very other pass play back then, defenders were basically given two steps before they hit the QB. Those guys took more serious hits in one game than Brady has takenn his entire carerr. And look at what the defernders could do to the WRs back then. Cant compare te game, nt even close. Lamonica was one of the most dynamic and best QBs of his time. Actually there are three prevailing theories, 1) it was Kemps wife, 2) it was ralph's wife but 3) the most logical reason was the AFL was fail;ng badly, ralph secretly and against league rules loaned the Raiders $250k to keep them alive (a loft of $ back then) and he had two dynamic QBs, shipping the Mad Bomber to Oakland took a franchise with weak attendance and made them the iconic image/team they are today. The first year with the Raiders Lamonica was the MVP took them to the AFL championship where they blew out of Oilers but they did lose
  18. Great stuff, love seeing Daryle Lamonica, movie star good looks.
  19. I think you are on to something Shaw but i think the motivation is a little more obvious,. this is the final year of his rookie contract.
  20. Another year of Mills, hard to fathom but at least he was greatly improved last year.
  21. Lets say the Ravens returned the kickoff for a TD and won that game. I wonder how many people would say how unlucky we were we didn't make the playoffs.
  22. I agree with you, most notably the strength that Tyree demonstrated to keep Harrison from knocking the ball away was no fluke, endless hours of lifting weights.
  23. Lets see..after every Jauron press conference, hiring Rex Ryan, hiring his slob brother Rob now that was a bona-fide tear jerker.
