  1. which leads to the question; have to re-sign this guy for sure when it comes time; but do you resign Milano as well - thats 10+ mill per LB - affordable or not ?
  2. As much as we want to say-think we have the virus under control; we don't. Yes the curve is flattening but due to the high numbers of those not wearing masks AND not social distancing the threat remains very real. We have to have a plan A and plan B, its still out there... like the flu for example; has been around decades; it morphs and is hard to create an accurate immunization as last years version was only 40% effective. So what will teams do when a player or coach gets it; quarantine for 2 weeks and then wait for 2 negative tests before returning...minimum
  3. fracking is illegal in NY state but natural gas fracked from Penn is sent to NY so kind of hypocritical ? further fracking has caused several (hundred) small to moderate earthquakes in places like OK where they pump water into the displaced earth the pegulas tightening their belts to keep each business cash-flow positive and not have to dip into their savings which would alter lifestyle such as pending new yacht purchase
  4. https://fanbuzz.com/nfl/jake-fromm-mom/ you made me look her up and I am glad you did - certified hottie
  5. McD has shown he knows what he knows (an above average D for all 3 years) and that he knows what he doesnt know (a below average O) which I think he has out-sourced to Daboll; point being he wont take over the O-side play calls as he has done on the D side at least once (chargers game second half) ..a big O-side miss was drafting Zay Jones that high and missing and not drafting an NFL MVP in Mahomes at the critical qb position which is a whole debate of it own. As much as I would like to rag on his O-line there are three second rounders in the starting 5 (Dawkins, Ford, Morse) and the guards are the more fungible-replaceable which is a proper cap strategy..flame on comprades
  6. hang around this portal for 2 weeks...or read the 57 pages of posts when a fan-favorite long-shot player invariably gets cut after 1 season...or stop by after a loss to the Jets on Monday after the game
  7. care to eniighten us with your medical credentials and proof; I would like to see a thesis on the topic as I study-up on the disease as family members contracted and beat it; the guy has 50 years of experience and went to Africa to get first hand info on the ebola virus; or are you just mad the season may fall victim to an outbreak in the middle of the football season which every other sport is anticipating and working to minimize ???
  8. two threads...isnt that double jeopardy
  9. question, for those who do not support; ever serve your country ?
  10. two games would work; add one controlled scrimmage over two days like we did last season when we travel to Carolina in the middle or to begin with and we are good; means the dreaded last game bore fest is eliminated
  11. counter-point = was found not guilty by a jury of his peers hard to believe to this day; also served his time for whatever crimes he was found guilty of after that;
  12. amazing what topics close quickly and others remain open around here
  13. so who appointed Shaq Lawson the supreme judge of a person's character; based on what qualifications...does he rule on other topics than private-stupid-immature thoughts of white kids who grew-up in insulated communities that do not reflect the landscape of the rest of the country ? Shaq llets move on to higher level thought issues facing society...what else ya got ?
  14. Lorenzo first played offense, then defense then special teams then a captain at the NFL-level, who does that ? Deeply involved in the NFLPA as well. I can only hope he remains part of our org on-going; a future coach or front-office future for sure...
  15. comparing Athletic mgt to Pegulas ..this is first layoff at Athletic (now 2 years old) ; they dont seem to be cutting staff to maintain a lifestyle and don't seem to be hiring based on family and friends but rather on talent; and just as you do Vogl (who always had the highest reader hits when he was that BN) has the right to his opinion; plus he responds quite frequently to critical comments in his columns including mistakes he has made...
  16. Troll Troll yours is too popular a post with some it seems....but its more than one week...its 100 days of being isolated by an invisible particle that comes to life thru our neglect; followed by 40 million unemployed; then a $20 dollar crime becomes the crime of the century and the many morgue men of Minny cant even agree on the cause of death....this is what it felt to live 100-200 years ago it seems...haven't we learned anything other than to want to continue to empower the wealthy ,idolize jocks etc
  17. three games at the old War Memorial (Rockpile) including season opener against Cowboys, and the final game ever (21-21 tie against Lions) three games at Rich in the 1970s including the one where OJ and Braxton ran for over 100 yards each against the Dolphins and we lost 17-0, first and goal from the one and we dont score. road games in Baltimore against Ravens. Skipping to two games home games recently one with family and the other was against the Skins this past season as my buddies here in DC wanted to experience the Bills game day tailgating as well as see some of the area...Letchworth Park is known as the Grand Canyon of the East, be sure you make a side trip and experience its beauty.
  18. just after Pegulas bought the Sabres, Tyler Myers rookie year, here in DC ( at a pub owned by a Buffalonian) they had a meet and greet (roadshow) with no players but all coaches including RJ and Harry Howell. Shook RJ hand and got autograph So I asked Lindy Ruff what the hardest part about coaching this team...he said..,Winning, keeping guys like me and you happy....he then chugged a bottle of beer - serious Later I asked Darcy a stupid fan question about trades and in the middle of his response a loud-mouth Sabre fan interrupted with another question...Darcy drank wine from what I recall. James Patrick (asst coach) was very polite, cordial and talkative. I also got to meet coach Barry Trotz and his lovely wife at a charity event the season they won the cup (their son Austin has autism) and we we chatted for 10-15 mins; safe to say the Trotz remember where they came from...rural Manitoba...so down to earth and genuine. His very first coaching job was U of Manitoba at age 23-24 When David Poile called him about first NHL job to coach the Predators he thought the call would be about coaching the AHL team.
  19. was this this the very first MNF home game ever ?. where a guy did a tightrope walk of some sort above the crowd....also I think someone threatened Howard Cosell and he pressed charges and came back for the trial...during which time a local TV reporter asked him some questions and his response (while wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigar) to one which I clearly remember was..."I know every playahs numbah...and where went to collidge." Night games in Buffalo...I sense another chapter or two coming this season...prayers
  20. thank you for posting... all gave some...some gave all...like Bob Kalsu and my grandfather who was killed in WW2 6 weeks before the end of the war; extricating the Germans from France...may they rest in peace and sleep forever in their graves knowing we care to remember them and their sacrifices
  21. my sleeper pick would be the OL...we gave up third highest pressures in league and some of that is OL and some is Josh hanging on too long and some is Dabol play calls Morse missed most of training camp due to concussion; ford is now second year and feliciano seemed to play thru an injury second-half there are three (3) number picks on that line; Dawkins (pay day a comin), Morse (highest paid on roster) and Ford. Spain and Feliciano and fungible along with all the backups; time to draft an OL or two.
  22. for a few years in the mid 1970s WKBW radio won the radio rights to do Bills games in place of Van Miller: the crew was Al Meltzer PBP - he was a sportscaster from Philly who worked weekends Bils game; Rick Azar color - he was long-time local WKBW TV sportscaster who also did the Bills weekly highlights show (previous week game on the Sat before next game) and Ed Rutkowski - sideline - former Bill Overall quality was middle of the road - the rights went back and Van Miller returned So other than original Van, Meltzer-Azar-Rutkowski crew, back to Van and then onto Murphy I guess that's your entire history of Bills radio coverage. PS - Van Mller was also the voice of the Buffalo Braves, would hustle back to studio to the 11 PM sports (otherwise you got Chuck Healy from Strikes, Spares and Misses fame - if you don't know don't ask) Jon Murphy is a former bartender - to me seems to have that loud be heard over the din-tavern voice rather than a broadcaster...that is what I think of most when he does a game, some guy in a bar yelling at the TV
  23. Bills 19th all-time in sacks which was not recorded until 1982 per pro football reference so he had several more tied for 24h all time in Bills games played with 147 RIP to a gamer and a mild-mannered southern gent
