my visits unfortunately have been spasmodic and mostly losses:
70s - OJ and Braxton each run for 100 yards each and the Bills get freaking shut-out - 17-0..including first and goal at the 1 and do not score right in front of us in the end zone seats...sigh...
2000s - first game of the post-Kelly era starts with a loss to the Vikes
first ever game for Josh - pre-season opener vs Panthers - starts second half with and audible and throws the ball 65 yards down the left sideline- incomplete - for all this greatness the long-ball with some touch-loft has not been in his skills set..but he scrabled around the 2-3-4-5 stringers like he should be on Dancing with the Stars.
Nov 1 Hall of Fame running backs game - Wash and Peterson vs Bills and Gore - we won one that I witnessed..a
met alumni autographs session: Bruce, Norwood and Ritcher, Bruce was with family and dressed like it was a North Pole expedition as my friends from Wash make the pilgrimage with me and state that was the coldest 40 degrees they never want to remember...cloudy and windy all game..
I did some road games in Balt and DC over the years as well...and Rockplie games in my misspent youth... 1-1-1 (tie last game ever at the War Memorial)

no, too risky too expensive, we likely have the same production and issue/risk with Von already, provided he takes a pay cut...
But
if Von doesnt take the pay cut and gets released, and they dont get Miles Garrett in a trade, then we are down to considering options like this..
But if we cut Von we cant spend the cap savings until June (post June designation - spreads the $15M dead cap over 2 seasons) , there will be more cuts like Bosa coming...
in other words,,,stay tuned... while March 12 is the first day of new NFL year..its the start not the end

scenario - trade Elam to a man intensive D like the Browns for a 6th next year or 7th this year just to dump the salary and then consider a vet min offer to D Jackson as backup with incentives for the amount of playing time in the event of injury to a starter..perhaps...

Reid ain't going anywhere until he gets the wins record.
328 for Shula and 273 for Reid means 55 tie and 56 for the lead....would take another 4-5 years at least...maybe more as the AFC West is getting better...Reid is 66 will be 67 next month..so he would have to coach into his 70s...if they keep winning big and deep he could ride Mahomes as Bill Beli did with TB12 until the GOAT was no more...

went to the game as my friends parents were sick...we were 11 year-olds...just us two getting dropped-off and picked-up...that doesnt happen today
Back then it was the norm for kids to do that as well wait and sleep in the entrance lobby of the Aud to get Sabres tickets as well as concert tickets without adult supervision.
Back to the game...a tie...after every quarter...adults tearing up the seats, grass, and goldposts...the good ole daze of my misspent youth...of which Buffalo sports was a big part and still are today...thanks for walk down memory lane

sub optimal schedule this Sunday..red zone reservaton works best
-
bye week chatter...cuz barnyard animals need to fed:
There could more coaching changes than usual ...am impressed with the Bills new coordinators who are young-talented-productive and are praised for their abiliities as far as relating to younger players...
so...
are they head coaching candidates ? this year or next ??
if so...
who would replace them...who is our qb coach...that seems to be path to OC....and who would be next man up for D coord either this year or next...
I will hang-up and listen...
-
yeah the tables were rigged to break easily..so what...give the guys credit for coming out of the studio and into the 716 which a big credit and homage to the Mafia who represented well as usual.
Pregame shows are quite boring, the CBS crew felt the vibe and had some genuine enthusiasm and fun
Give Air Burleson credit for some lift and hangtime and 67 year old coach Cowher props for the drops. He may have done 1 more table jump than most Bills fans
A good time was had by all, well done everybody

Edwards...Bishop...Cine...please...because this is not the same Micah who we know and love and will be 34 in two months...no training camp or practices as well...and most importantly his neck-cervical injury is significant that there is no way we want him to stick his upper body into D Henry and other runners going full-speed into our secondary...safety first...

rationale for this call:
1. angle - bad angle by ref
2. more important - point of emphasis - at the beginning of every season refs are told are told at every level certain point of emphasis, esp player safety, to focus on and it becomes a trigger to make a call on something borderline or that they think they see that they normally would not call....
-
most are O coaches; Harbaugh was ST (as was Cowher)....like Bills fans a lot of Steeler fans are polarized about their head coach...Tomlin has won a ring and makes the playoffs no matter the qb, but depsite the recent contract extension has not been winning playoff games...McD has the qb, but the obstacle has been KC thanks to no organic pass rush

well said...I just wish a tribute banner to the Braves would be hung from our arena that pays homage to McAdoo, Randy Smith and Coach Jack Ramsey...there are fond memories of fanastic games against the Lakers and Celtics in the old Aud, with Van Miller doing PxP on Tues and Sat nites, then doing post-game, the hustling back to WBEN TV studio to do his 11 PM sports segment..my personal highlight was a DH with the Globetrotters (with Meadlowlark Lemon and Curly Neal) going first then the Braves beating the Pistons and Buffalo Bob Lanier with several of my close childhood friends totally loving it...we also played basketball in suburban Buffalo all winter ling, dribbling the ball no higher than our knee due to the cold and snow and playing at nite under flood-lights, if we werent playing hockey on frozen ponds or tackle football in the snowy street...mom put newspapers on the kitchen floor so we could eat our bologna sandwhiches and kraft macaroni and cheese without taking our boots or skates off...

Two of my favorite players from this era were centers.
Mr. Otto and Mick Tingelhoff.
Their respective teams were prominent and televised and vividly remember their trading cards.
Good old days.
RIP
the Vikes were great in the 70s...under coach Bud Grant..outdoor Metropolitan Stadium in the cold was its own version of frozen tundra..the pre-Tarkenton days of Joe Kapp (another CFL icon like Grant) throwing to Gene Washington handing to Dave Osborne and Bill Brown as RBs behind Tingelhoff and Ron Yary..and the D-line..purple people eaters...was the best in the biz - Page-Eller-Marshall-Larsen-Sutherland..with Dennis Winston at LB and Paul Krause (iNFL all-time nterceptions leader)

Peter Puck!
one way to get my non-sportsfan sister to allow me to watch hockey on the family Maganvox parlor TV was to tell her that Peter Puck was going to be on during the intermission...it was between periods 1-2 and she would think it was every intermission...it worked for awhile

from the daze of my misspent youth...Sundays...1970s football...men like Otto layed the foundation for this game...
1 PM games: watching Joe Namath play in crappy Shea Stdium which looked like a high school field; bad Bills teams with OJ loose over and over....or you could watch the NFC games which in Buffalo featured the Wash Redskins and NYG games before Dallas became "Americas Team"
4 PM: teams like like the Chiefs, Chargers with that passing game, the thug Raiders playing close games over and over with George Blanda kicking game-winning field goals while playing QB at age 40+...games called by grizzled vets like Curt Gowdy and Charlie Jones and the smooth Dick Enbeg (remember Sport Challenge ?) and color analysts no one ever heard of before...
Then on to the Wonderful World of Disney amd Mutual of Omaha's Wlld Kingdo...then Sunday nite Sabre home games with Gil and the French Connection...over and over...year after year...

good stats and chat...I look at this a bit differently without the benefit of the Diggs, Davis skill-set
1. Our O got too predictable last mid-season with Diggs the alpha option which drew the best defender, rolling double coverage, etc - add his loss of speed, the pattern predictability etc...interesting to see the Brady updated playbook and weekly gameplan as there seems to be more diversity (other than the go patterns ?) and more focus on shorter throws into single coverage for our bigger WRs to win a catch in tight coverage and break tackles against smaller corners, blocking is a must to help the run game, so lets see the route trees, spacing and comfort levels...I dont expect jet sweeps, but WR screens to a bigger-body WR makes sense
2. As well how does Josh adapt to this as far as reads and ball placements - despite the top arm in the game, his long ball throws have been erratic, compare to Stroud who places soft loft-air-touch on his long throws...quicker releases-throws from Josh to beat the rush and blitz is good thing.
Injuries, depth and special teams - some of these guys will be kept or promoted for that over the course of the long season

Q. why is Brady interested in an ownership stake in the Raiders
A. I am tired of owning the Colts and Bills...
now has 8 rings since Giselle gave her back to him

It's a good point, but I think that's why most swallowed the Diggs trade as necessary medicine.
But to not double-down in the draft with such available talent, have many scratching their heads
double down...best I can tell no position on the team will carry two rookies on the active roster, that is keeper draft choices not exposed to being cut-waved...you want one on the active roster and PS ? then I think we can find somethug come the Sept big cut, serves the same purpose but saves draft capital ?
More concerned with who is going to return kicks and punts, not sure that specialist is on the roster and I dont think they trust a rook to do that.

Issue really lies with management, the owner, Mr Eifficient-Economic-Etc making the decision - players who did complain likely heard about other teams having better benefits and want the same...
Related Note: FWIW...Todays Athletic had NHL player agents review of NHL orgs: Sabres owner voted second worst - all that loosing...they are a mess..the owner is in left-field...and..no votes at all for Sabres for best org...most other teams got at least one (1) freaking vote...
(Carolina owner voted the worst due to constant meddling-micro-manager)
