Since Al Gore invented the DVR, I don’t care too much what time they air our preseason games. Best way to watch preseason is recorded, anyway. 

What is this.. DVR you speak of? Some form of alien technology? I’ve never heard of it before... 

 

Clearly the point of my ramble was the best ways to watch the replays. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us! Gold star for you! ⭐️

[Colts vs Bills on DTV 212-1 live Thurs?]

I normally keep quiet when it comes to the media’s coverage of this team. However it feels like things have reached a fever pitch. Not even so much as the general showing of disrespect, (bc respect is earned) but just the way this team is perceived as a joke lately. 

 

How many replays are are being shown on NFLN between the Colts and Bills? Two. What times are they on? 2am Friday night, and 4am Monday night. 

 

How many replays between the Browns and Redskins? EIGHT. Typically all shown between 10am and 10pm. 

 

Typically when NFLN does an inside training camp, replays are shown throughout the day and night. What day does Buffalo land on? Same day as 1st preseason game. Guess which of the shows got the replays throughout the night? 

 

Also, if you happened to catch the training camp live on NFLN, when they were interviewing JA, about every minute or so when he would answer a question, that smug little troll with the big ears would look at the camera and smirk. As if saying, “yeah right, you guys suck.”  The utter disrespect and BALLS to do that while sitting net to someone who could literally end you, is just in fathomable! The Bills website kinda edited over a bunch of those looks with live play rather than showing it. (Will try to post screen cap below)

 

Madden: (yeah, yeah, it’s Madden) 2nd ranked defense last year. THREE players on D rated over 80. Defense overall rated as an 80. Along the likes of Washington, Detroit, NYJ, and AZ. Rated higher are, SF, ATL, GB, NO, and HOU WITH AN 88???

 

Yeah, I get it, we haven’t done anything in the past century. But it’s not like AZ, WASH, DET, etc, have been setting the world on fire as well.. 

 

 

[So Who Now Should Be In Charge Of The offense Unfettered?]

14 hours ago, Rc2catch said:

Not sure where this comes from, while the offense played poorly last year Daboll had some brilliant game plans. The offense couldn’t execute squat and having no running game and a million penalties killed a lot of momentum. Daboll had some iffy calls but overall I thought he schemed fantastically. The receivers on this team couldn’t get open or separation and he schemed them open. I also thought for the first time in many years the offense could actually make adjustments at halftime and counter things opposing defenses were doing well. It’s not out of the realm of possibilities that with a really big jump for the offense he may find some head coaching interviews 

This is why the coaching staff needs to place someone on Dabols hip pocket. Should his scheme work wonders, and should he leave for a promotion, that person steps up with the same understanding and knowledge of the system that Is already in place. Continuity breeds winning. As opposed to bringing in a new coordinator, and changing everything. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. (Wrecks) 

[Why do the Pats* get an extra day of rest?]

Just looking at the current playoff schedule, and it occurred to me.. Why does the #2 seed from the AFC, have the same amount of rest as the #1 seed in the NFC? All things considered, shouldn’t both #1 seeds have the luxury of the extra day off? I was under the impression that Walt Coleman retired.. So, what gives? 

[How often do "project" quarterbacks work out?]

“Project”?

 

i know of at least one labeled a project who has made it, at least so far.

 

Patrick Mahomes.

You mean a QB who has all the physical tools, that just needed to put the game together mentally? Someone who got a chance to sit, watch game tape, and recognize different defensive coverages over the course of a year? A QB who was surrounded with talent before he was put in the starting lineup? What good could that do? I mean.. (“Either he has it, or he doesn’t” right?) Watch him bailing on plays early, because he feels pressure that isn’t there. Because the line almost got him killed on numerous occasions. I’m not saying that he could be what we’ve been waiting for.. but putting him in a position without means to succeed, DEFINITELY isnt doing him any favors in his progress. 

[McBeane's way of rebuilding makes no sense]

1 hour ago, Laughing Coffin said:

Some of us here make it sound like we were lush with talent all over the field in 2016. 

 

But the fact of the matter is, aside from Beane dumping a few players, this team was already garbage heading into 2017.

Dareus / Darby I agree with those 2 players definitely. We could have kept Dareus and dealt with a lot less dead cap situation after next year, we are eating his cap space anyways still and we could have had him on the field for the same price we're paying not to have him here, and he would have likely kept our interior DL respectable until then. As far as our CB2 position, it's in absolute shambles, so the Darby deal was not good in my opinion either.

Maybe not resigning Robert Woods/Marquise Goodwin, but those were decisions made by Whaley/McDermott. Can't blame them on Goodwin, he was always a tad banged up, just got hurt again after a promising 2017 campaign where he came out relatively unscathed. The best ability is availability, after all. Robert Woods seemed like a "process" guy I'm surprised we didn't throw 7 mil his way per year. Whenever he was listed as questionable on the IR he was likely going to be out there on the field, seemed like a guy who wanted to just play football

So unless I'm missing anyone from the 2016 Bills, our "roster of talent" equates to 2-3 guys (4 if you want to count Sammy, who's done nothing to warrant getting 16 mil a year so far) that we should have kept in their respectful spots, and built around them instead of creating holes that we still haven't filled. Not to mention we had 2 starting OL retire/go mental.

Tyrod masked our OL issues a lot more than most give him credit for, this team did not belong at 9-7 last year, especially our team the 2nd half of the year, soon as we dealt Dareus we started to get GASHED in the run game.  It was glaringly obvious how important he was at clogging the middle. If we would have played to our roster's talent on paper, our team likely was a 5-11 6-10 team that would have been lush with picks in this most recent draft.  We would have been able to sit at our position and drafted Allen, keeping the rest of our day 2 picks.

What they’re never going to tell you... Last year was the tear down/tank year. Ship off anything you can get value for in the form of draft picks. Good QB class coming out, draft high. What they DIDNT plan on, was making the playoffs or having a winning record. How do you snap the longest drought in North American sports and come out and say.. “whoops! Wasn’t our intention?” Beane has been good so far at getting picks for players. However, Whaley is showing to be the master at digging through the trash and bringing in high quality players. Having the record that they did last year threw a wrench in their plans. Right now, you’re seeing them scramble to act like they planned for it all along.. Beanes ability to bring in any sort of quality FA is quite suspect to this point. 

[NFL Sunday Ticket]

Ok, so it took an hour of my time but here's what I got:

 

25% discount off Sunday Ticket (regular), so $36.47/mo. for 6 months -- cost $218.82

50% off Max upgrade (but I have to call back before 9/1) -- cost $50

 

Total cost ST Max:  $268

 

$55/mo. credit on my bill for 12 months ($660 savings)

 

Basically, they paid me nearly $400.

 

Well worth my time.  Enjoy, guys and gals.

Which department did you speak to? The disconnect department, or a different one? 

[If the Bills are 3-5 at the turn, what are you thinking?]

At 3-5, that’s when you start playing JA. You know what your OL and WR are capable of, and what they’re not. If Dabs is a good OC, he should be able to at the very least, find a way to not get the rook killed behind C. (That’s what the first 8 weeks were for)

 

From there, just look for some sort of marked improvement from JA, from week to week. Heartbreaking losses, so be it. Let them all be learning experiences. (Ala, Peyton Manning, Carson Wentz, rookie years) 

 

Say we go, 4-12/5-11.. Top 5 pick or so in the draft.. trade down if possible, acquire more picks for “the process”.

 

If no trade partner available, draft highest rated pass rusher. (DE, not DT. More than likely an area of need, as well as most bang for the buck on a rookie contract) If we get the extra picks, go RB, WR, OLB, TE, CB.  (BPA, of course) 

 

 Also, we’re looking at a bunch of cap space next year. (Personally, I’d invest in OL) Safest bet, and give the 2nd year QB, all the time he needs in the pocket. (Hopefully the 8 games this year don’t leave him “shell shocked” and given a false sense of pass rush this year) 

 

I wish everything in life were this easy to solve.. ??

[The curse of the 2nd pick by the Bills]

If you believe in curses like the cover of Madden, this may not be the thread for you. With the exception of a couple that I can’t remember at the moment, (and nit picking aside) has anyone else ever noticed that since about 2003, typically the 2nd pick of the Bills in that years draft ends up being significantly injured for a decent amount of time? We always look at it as, “well, we get so-and-so back next year, which is like an extra draft pick.”

 

Some of our 2nd picks since 2003 include..  

 

2017-  Zay Jones (not out of action, but played all year hurt. Bad example) 

 

2016- Reggie Ragland (yup)

 

2015- John Miller (Don’t remeber)

 

2014- Cyrus Kouandjio (yup)

 

2013- Kiko Alonso (happened after 1st year, but yup)

 

2012- Cordy Glenn (safe)

 

2011- Aaron Williams (sore subject)

 

2010- Torell Troupe (yup)

 

2009- Eric wood (sore subject, again, but rookie year, yup)

 

2008- James Hardy (yup)

 

2007- Paul Posluzney (yup)

 

2006- John McCargo (yup)

 

2005- Roscoe Parrish/Kevin Everett (you pick, but, yup) 

 

2004- JP Losman (yup)

 

That’s arguably 11/14. 

 

With the exception of JA, TE is probably the person who I will be looking for the most this year. Hopefully he can stay on the field for all 16 games. I couldn’t name his back-up right now if I tried.

For the people who know everything on here can you tell me who killed Kennedy, Tupac, and Biggie. 

The CIA, Orlando Anderson or Lil Half Dead, and Amir Mohammad. (Contract hit by Reggie Wright Jr. on behalf of Death Row.) Who the Bills will select on Thursday is MUCH harder to figure out.

Joined TBD to create this. Awful!

You’re right, ever knowing 26... I’ve seen you post soooo many things worth a frontal lobotomy... Let’s just roll into the number one defense with Tolbert as our number 1RB. Sounds like a solid plan. But, as usual, nothing to contribute besides simply crapping all over something! Keep up the solid posts!

[Say shady is out. Tyrod RB1, Peterman QB1?]

Say Shady can’t go next Sunday. I would rather have TT as a Rb than Tolbert. Discuss...
