Nice guy. Took my 10 year old son to a signing. No one there and he was real friendly. Glad to hear he's feeling well but I always thought what happened was somewhat not an accident. He and his wife had first child that off season and his history of serious concusions made me think maybe they decided he needed to walk away from the game.
The signing was his last week of concussion recovery that year and he said he had spent a week in a pitch dark room with no sound as part of healing. I think he had two bad ones in college previously.
Hopefully they are smart and get a $150k house in a decent burb with low property taxes and live a decent normal life. Not sure how much he made from the NFL but a free home and the money to cover 50 years of property taxes is a nice crutch at least. Worst case scenario I hope.

Phillips could be a player next year also. I'm excited about the offseason and seeing what progress our young guys make this year.
Exactly. The so called process is doing as a realist would expect. Last off season was hugely exciting and, unless one is QB centric, this one will be even more exciting for the Bills.
I'm also curioud about next week when we finally see a non playoff potential team for the first time. No pressure in my mind but am interested in seeing how our parts work against mediocrity.

I predicted 0-4 and have already declared this season a success; barring any major injuries which might carry beyond this season. Good times here. No oline and no WRs and we shoulda seen that in pre season. D was great last week - leave that to others to discuss. We have a great CB, QB which are young. Edmunds hopefully and god willing, young zay jones finds some good gloves that work for him! Ha
Then off season fill ups.

The bills will win this Sunday. I say this only as a 40+ year fan. Just as by the early 90s we had learned never to give up hope as 2:00 csn mean 20 points for us, the modern era has taught me that the bills are not going to let us down so easily after last week - they will win again and look great, get hopes up up high and then fail hard against the lowly titans. Ha.

1-3?
i would be really happy with the pats*** at 1-15.
Nooo! Then they get a high draft slot. I would love to see the pats stuck in the 7-9 and 8-8 rut for 20 years.
Go fish!

If I had a team i would train my eligable receivers and QBs to become experts at drawing the pass interference flags against their defenders. Everything from tricks which cause the other team to foul or how to position yourself to likely be fouled else appear to have fouled to smack talking the secondary all day. Then throw deep a lot - maybe even barely uncatchable passes that cannot be intercepted in bounds. Cheap - but make the rules work for you. The PI penalty is far too powerful to not exploit.
Grab an extra 100 yards a game just from magic tricks. Ha.

A bit curious that this thread is in a bills forum - we have not had a strong passing game in recent years and had a top RB and running QB.
The stats above do show the opening comment to be wrong or greatly exaggerated - not discounting the poster - yet most of us do see this trend.
Maybe it has to do with the games being widely televised are more often top passing teams? Or when two medicore teams play it's regional coverage only? And maybe newer products such as red zone coverage which is not showing the 4 yard run that was not for 6 points are also causing this perception?
Anyhow, passing is the future for sure as mentioned already - most fans like it. QB and WR protections are also only going to increase, not only for sales but also for the brain damage law suits from former players.
Edit - and the DH is never going away in MLB. Not a chance.

I doubt the NFL would do ever anything to hinder the passing game. They have to love these shoot-outs just like MLB loves the HR. Or the NBA which is predominantly dunks and 3 pointers. It's what gets fans' attention.
At some point, I have to wonder if some HC and GM would see the wisdom in putting together a team that isn't predicated on throwing the ball, but is good enough doing that. Defenses are playing more 6 guys in the box and 5 DB sets, so it would make sense that someone eventually builds an offense which can punish those smaller LBs and DBs who are on the field to play the pass. Belicheck seemed to use LeGarrette Blount like this a few years ago.
His initials are RR (as are those of his equally idiotic brother); please do not say the name - ever.

Thank you.
Of course. The all mighty $$$ !
Why would you wish for the bills to waste a ton of money on an aged, prema Donna, locker room cancer WR, in a year where we are not contenders? We need WRs but we mostly need them to get ready for a possible push in 2 or 3 years.

I think we prefer to forget just how bad the bills looked those first two games and are giving more weight to the viking's game because. . .we're fans. Heh. Rankings are silly anyhow.

Dez? No. Why? We are not pushing for a SB this year nor next. Why waste anything on that?
We do have shady to trade. He's not part of our future when we're hopeful contenders in a two to four years. Rest shady and then set him loose on a poor team in week 5 and hope he looks great - then trade him for a younger, good WR who is not hated by his team. Find a contender team who has surplus WR and a need for an RB asap. No idea who that may be.
Or an O lineman who is also younger. Those two areas we need more than one new player each and so draft alone will not likely get it done.

I don't feel it myself, but the the risk seems to be an attraction
Alcoholism is a form of suicide as I understand it. Self destruction. I also think gambling is about the rush of risk more than the rush of winning. I'm no expert but maybe the adrenaline of seeing your life maybe collapsing becomes addicitive somehow.

I doubt anyone wanted 0-16. Jeez. I'm ok with 4 wins and even more so with 10 but 7 or 8 wins is meh.
The season is already a success as I see it. The D is not as bad as thought after preseason through week 2, JA is the QB, the process and coaches are alive and well. 2018 is about root growth and not pretty flowers or fruits imo. Grow or die. 2019 will see upgrades for the spots that did not improve over the course of this season. Giddy up.

I am not trying to be, but after weeks 1 and 2 I was very much annoyed... Glad to see them rebound in a MAJOR way... I do expect them to play like last week and never play like Week 1 and 2 again. . . . The difference being losing brings out grouchiness, losing and playing embarrassing bad means nobody gets a chance, winning brings out happiness and winning like last week brings out the snoopy dance posts.
It's a game. You're a fan and so it's hobby or entertainment and not a career. How the Bills perform should not affect your life or your families lives - such as affording college for the kids.
You might want to re-evaluate how the NFL is affecting you is all as it sounds a bit askew. If you're grouchy all week due to a football game then there's a great opportunity for self improvement.

As individuals, no, we're (mostly) not schitzo but the subject is the fan base as a whole - and that is two very vocal, distinct and opposite personalities week to week. This fan base is schizophrenic. No comment on other cities as I don't read their fan forums.
I think OBD just needs to put some antidepressants in the beer lines is all and so clip any extreme emotions right at the root.

No, we are not bad fans for expecting the Bills to be a competent NFL franchise. It's long overdue, and McBeane have made a lot of head scratching moves tbh.
Do you realize those are different posters? schizophrenic does not apply... After a win you hear primarily from one group, after a loss primarily from another. I suspect this is the case on ALL NFL team message boards as well as social media.
I did write that likely the haters are quiet today is all. Gosh.

Most schizophrenic anyhow. Each week this season so far has seen a 180 reversal in attitude. Likely just the haters are quiet today.
I'm declaring this season a success at week three. We know we have the QB and the coaches; and the process! Just stay healthy and keep learning is all that matters this fall.
The guy above who already alluded to being ready to complain if they don't repeat that level of performance each week now is clearly negative. kid's had 2.5 games in his career and his WRs can't catch. Lol

Don't be downer. We have a QB!!

Great season! When we lose it means better draft position amd when we win it means JA is likely coming along great and probably others as well; such as our D today - really everyone today save the top WR and TEs.
We really cannot lose in 2018 - so no more drama as we saw here last week. Just stay healthy - grow or die and grow is not tied to the win column. ?

Last year he carried our offense to end the streak. When he was pounding the turf in pain in game 16 and then carted off the field we knew it was our offense on that golf cart. He's not young and not in his prime but c'mon already.
