  1. Actually during the building of the Cowboys including the first 2 Super Bowls Jimmy Johnson has all decision making powers (draft, contracts, etc.) Jerry as GM had one .. and that was with the personnel Jimmy Johnson had brought to Dallas. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jimmy-johnson-calls-out-jerry-jones-on-gm-claims-during-super-bowl-runs/
  2. As someone else stated the only early 90s playoff game that did not sell out was the Oilers .. and how is this a certainty .. because we watched all the others on TV .. when they used to have 100% of seats sold to televise. If we get a game at home this year (unlikely) it will sell out and it will be jam packed
  3. Update on Smith-Schuster .. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/12/13/juju-smith-schuster-no-setback-with-knee-but-ive-gotta-take-it-slow/ not good for him .. which is good for us ..
  4. 1) we had just been pummeled by Houston the week before; and more importantly 2) your facts are wrong .. that was the highest attended game in the history of the stadium ... 900,000 people have stated they were at that game
  5. I get he will be named MVP .. and he is having the best year of the 2018 QBs ... but recently he is getting the 1 yd TD passes but little in the way of yardage .. he has 109 yds running and throwing at half and he will be lauded for an amazing performance. It is almost laughable how in love the media is with him. Again he has done well, but I just don’t see him as the MVP
  6. Really nice review of the game by Chris Simms .. he is very balanced and was very insightful. Note 20 minutes long.
  7. How is that “off your rocker” .. and why the rudeness with the sit down and shut up. It was a legitimate request which should be answered with civility with a yes or a no .. I am fine either way but it would in my opinion be useful information.. if you don’t agree that is fine but there was no need for the response you provided at all.
  8. TOTALLY OFF-TOPIC .. but would be nice if the moderators could have a "how to use post" that was always on top. What is acceptable, how to avoid duplicative posts, criteria for being a member, what is the criteria dfor the different statuses (RFA, Veteran, etc.). Truly would appreciate it.
  9. Correct on tennessee and texans both at 10 - 6 goes to the Texans for the Division ... and then even in a 3 way split .. the only other team that could tie Buffalo and Tennessee would be Pittsburg. Since both Pittsburgh and Buffalo beat Tennesseee .. Tenesee would be on the outside.
  10. A) He is really stupid as there are a very small handful of people who carry these doo-hickeys called cell phones that also function as cameras ; or B) He I making a big-brain play to get out of NY I am thinking B.. because nobody is stupid enough for A .. and $35 million of the 52 million 4 yr contract is guaranteed
  11. It was a bad game ... but if anyone thought his progress would be straight up .. you were kidding yourself. The goal is year over year improvement not week to week. All QBs have duds .. here is a stat line you might recall "14–28 for 123 yards, no TDs and 4 interceptions (including a pick six) prior to being pulled in the 4th quarter. QB rating of 22.5" What scrub was this???? Thomas Brady vs Buffalo in 2003. It sucks .. I had visions of the top playoff spot dancing in my head .. but considering I picked the Bills to be 8-8 this year .. I am pleased with where the team is and where Josh is. Next year I will be looking for even more. Go Bills! 2020 season Super Bowl contenders.
  12. Must read .. great article from a late bandwagon addition that captures what we have witnessed since week 5 ..... https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/rising_bills_a_threat_against_anyone_yes_even_ravens_or_patriots/s1_13132_30731672
  13. Quote from Ravens DC about Josh Allen .. compares him running to tackling a TE .... https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/ravens_dc_offers_fascinating_quote_about_facing_bills_josh_allen/s1_12680_30723263
  14. Chris Brown getting a little crazy before the game .. per his twitter feed ... there will be some streaking at 12:10 .. not certain if it is just him or Maddy as well, but .. surprised the Pegula's are letting this thing happen https://twitter.com/chrisbrownbills?lang=en Chris Brown @ChrisBrownBills 8h Hey #BillsMafia what has to happen on Sunday for the #Bills to get a win? Send me your answer & we could use it on Bills Field Pass streaking live at 12:10 pm Sunday. Watch the players warm up right on the field as we get you ready for the game and look at your keys to victory!
  15. I was not aware of the Ravens propensity to Blitz and certainly not Josh's success since week 5 .. Next Gen stats from Ravens site .. very interesting. https://www.baltimoreravens.com/video/next-gen-stats-ravens-vs-bills-matchups-to-watch
  16. Really interesting article from the Baltimore Sun where their sports writers answer such questions as whether the Ravens should be concerned about their difficulties containing the run given the Bills running back and whether JA is the 2nd best QB from the 2018 class. Very insightful IMHO. https://www.pressreader.com/usa/baltimore-sun/20191207/281792810901980
  17. "Thankfully Beans cleared money and gave him a real offense, but JA hung in there like few often do." - This is an important point Beane and McDermott were never looking to build a team that would compete for a year .. they are looking to build a team that is always competitive, year after year. That meant carrying lots of dead money as we cut people with bloated contracts. This year they used the space to find people who fit at the right price .. some have been home runs and some have been strike-outs but none put them in cap jail (e.g., Laveon Bell with the Jets). The team has a lot of money to spend next year .. so the team is not prevented from finding the next few guys who fit at the right price and will make the team even more competitive next year.
  18. Jets dysfunction makes 2 games a year easier to win as the Bills continue to improve. I am pretty confidant that Bill Belichick has been very interested in the dysfunction of the Bills since he got to New England and has used it to his advantage. It would be wonderful to be on the other end of that with teams going forward.
  19. great article by Billy Brooks of nfl.com on the development of Josh and lamar and how scouts may have to adjust how they look at QB prospects. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001084590/article/lessons-from-josh-allen-lamar-jackson-belichick-vs-mahomes
  20. More of this .. sorry not the perfect thread to post this in .. but not cool enough yet to start my own thread . breaks down the play call and the play from Brown to Motor
  21. Good preview from CBS sports .. pete prisco and company ... Bills discussion starts at 8:00 minute mark.
  22. That’s it I will never go to that site again .. I am sticking with guyinhismomsbasementNFLcommentary.com .. you can trust them
  23. Sean McDermott presser from today https://www.pscp.tv/w/1DXGypaQpzZKM
