  1. I'll add #11 The Buffalo News rehires Sully!
  2. Read someplace the suicide rate in those cities is above average, so can understand why they're not showing the game.
  3. Imagine with the thin air in Denver. Allen may throw the ball from one goal line to the other.
  4. Post season struggles and struggled repeatedly with very talented teams. Don't think Reid has struggled quite as much YET as Marty. But do think a couple more years in KC with unexpected exits from the playoffs and he may get fired here and he then may suffer the same fate where no one else selects him.
  5. Maybe he already had his hands on it the way he was screaming. The way those two laughed, could be they knew he had a a few.
  6. Man has Terry Bradshaw had a few shots of brandy or something to keep warm??
  7. Since the game was blacked out, I was at a place in Rochester called Marshall's I believe was the name. Almost left after the 1st TD by Houston after halftime. I was going to give the Bills one more drive, if they didn't score was going to leave. And the rest is history as they say.
  8. Don't see Mike Tomlin on the list. Last year many were calling for him to go, with the latest meltdown losing 4 of the last 5 is it, can see him going. It's a similar situation to what was going on in Green Bay. Competitive every year, won a SB few seasons back, but each year getting just a little worse than the year prior.
  9. Goes to show you for all those who claimed we're doomed for not have some offensive mind genius as the HC, it's a total crap shoot when it comes down to who you select..
  10. Would be a certain irony if the last game determines Miami's chance for the playoffs. Last season the Bills last game was in Miami which they won to make the playoffs, this could be pay back one way or the other. But overall wouldn't be unhappy with 3 losses. The Detroit game may be the most winnable of the three.
  11. I don't think he'll develop into a #1 receiver, but there's a place for him on the roster do to his speed and he actually can seem to catch the ball (as opposed to Goodwin who also had speed, but dropped about 50%) His hands are also good enough that he can run different routes, not just "go deep"
  12. I thought he got too over confident from his last two games as was too reckless with the ball today. That's something he can easily learn from.
  13. I miss the Saturday afternoon games that used to scheduled after the college season ended, just like Sunday a 1:00 and a 4:00. I'd rather see that than Thursday night.
  14. Also think early in the season, the O-line was much weaker. The team did alot of experimenting in training camp and pre-season with lineups. The down side of that is little time to build and continuity which probably of all the position groups in football, the O-line is the most important. Think QB play also suffered there for the same reason, but not many other options there. Hopefully they siign a couple strong FA for the line so the lineup is set in training camp
  15. If I'm a person potentially getting my first HC gig, the last person I want to be tied to is Chris Polian. A HC typically succeeds or fails based on the talent he has and I wouldn't trust Chris to give you any help there.
  16. So far Darnold hasn't done anything to stand out. Allen's arm strength and running ability give him a big edge. Those are likely two areas Darnold will never catch him on. Certainly throwing more completions/TD's could swing that the other way in the future, but for now all Allen.
  17. I don't know, Cleveland could/should be predicted as a playoff contender next season. Depending how Allen plays the next 4 games and off-season moves the Bills make (big Fa signings are completed prior to schedule being released) could see a Monday night. Last year they put the Jet's on the 1st Monday of the season. Granted Buffalo and Cleveland are not large TV draws.
  18. Should I play the Bills or Vikes defense on Sunday?? Bills getting more points, but..... makes me nervous to go with them.
  19. I'll make this prediction, next season the Bills play the Browns. I'll predict it will be either a Monday or Thursday night game, to showcase Allen vs Mayfield, likely early part of the season to increase odds both are still playing, ie. not out for injury and also early incase one of them ends up a 2nd year slump, early on may not know yet so better ratings.
  20. As was pointed out, quite often only two LB's on the field. Makes little sense to pay big bucks, or give up draft picks or other resources for someone who's not on the field all the time. You don't need three top level LB's, infact when using three, having two on the field that are very good will make the third one look much better on his own.
  21. Think they need to do something different on kickoffs, to still give teams a shot at recovering an on-sides kick. Not that the odds were ever very good, but became terrible.
  22. Also much stronger, so if you get one hand on him, he's not as likely to go down as TT was. Once he starts running have to worry more about Allen still throwing as he can still make a strong throw even across his body.
  23. He's my keeper on my fantasy team and HAS shown many signs of slowing down. But think that's more to do with Ryan having many other options besides Julio. Believe he has 2 years left on contract. I wouldn't give up a 1st though, if Atlanta is ready to move on likely he'd be available for much less, maybe a 3rd or 2nd a most. Teams know you don't give up 1st rounders for a 30 yo think Atlanta realizes that too.
  24. Probably because during practice the punter is the one other guy besides the kicker and the long snapper with nothing else to do, so have him hold. Agreed using backup QB would give more options but for the couple times a year in may come into play, probably teams don't feel it's worth it. For years wasn't Frank Reich the holder?
