  1. I'm guessing that the Bills have no interest in re-signing Brandin Cooks. Why not? Note: I'm not a Cooks supporter. I'm just interested in why they apparently won't re-sign him.
  2. Kudos. I forgot about him.
  3. This is the second CB we have lost to what initially seemed a minor neck injury. Remember Aaron Williams?
  4. Bosa is on the injury report. Did we resign him or has his 1 year deal not yet expired.
  5. Interesting commentary and film study of the Bills' Under concept. https://emorywilhite.substack.com/p/the-buffalo-bills-under-concept Note: when referring to the defense "open" or "closed" concept this refers to whether the middle of the field is open or closed; that is, whether there is a safety playing the middle of the field "closed" or not ("open").
  6. Ray Berry a HOF WR has passed away. Unitas to Berry was one of the premier NFL passing combinations in the late '50s and early '60s and a key reason that the Baltimore Colts won back-to-back NFL titles in 1959 and 1960. He was a 20th round draft pick by the Colts. Ray had bad eyesight and a bad back, legs of uneven length and huge feet but by hard work he overcame all this to become HOF. Later he became coach of the Patriots and took them to a SB where they ran into the buzzsaw that was the 1985 Bears with their shut-down 46 defense. RIP Raymond.
  7. You are correct. Joey Porter was a play on the words "Joey" Bishop and Cole "Porter." On the web not only does nobody know you're a dog but also nobody knows when you're joking :)
  8. how skilled is he? Technique? Route running? Upstairs; do WR take the Wonderlic? That was Cole Porter or, if you prefer, Joey Porter.
  9. There's no greater tradgedy than an owner outliving a beloved pet.
  10. Has to be either Booth Lusteg (only kicker to be beaten up by Bills' fans for missing a crucial FG), Doug Flutie (made 100% of the drop kicks he attemped) or Pete Gogolak (first soccer-style kicker in NFL & when the Giants broke protocol and poached him it led to an AFL-NFL bidding war for players which the AFL was winning because its owners were richer when the NFL cried "Uncle" and agreed to merge with the AFL)
  11. DEcent recovery but your wife still wants to know who Shirley is.
  12. 1964-66 Bills 1990-92 Bills 2021-24 Bills 1958-59 Baltimore Colts 1968 Baltimore Colts
  13. Pro athletes are under intense pressure to perform. Life is good when you are successful. When for one reason or another, things start going south, that's when you see how mentally tough these guys are. Some stage comebacks but most, having been successful athletes for most of their lives just can't get over the mental hump.
