    Just saw this.

     

    Game is available on NFL+…. Just watched a part of the first quarter, Bills backed up near the goal line. Tashard Choice running the ball and Leinart tossing an INT.

    Seems like Edmonton never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

     

    They really had a chance to take control of this series at home, and they laid an egg!!

     

    Indiana blowing Game 4 in the NBA finals, and Edmonton losing Game 5 in the Stanley Cup finals could prove costly for both teams, IMO.


    Not a big time hockey fan, but watched last night until 2-0 hoping Edmonton would win. Panthers pretty much took it to them from the start from what I saw.  I don’t see the panthers losing again.

    If it hasn’t already been posted elsewhere, seems as good a place as any to post this then 😂🤯😂:

    Yep. Awesome teammate..until he doesn’t throw to diggs every play, overthrows him, or diggs doesn’t get a lot of catches or yards. Then the real “teammate” will show his true colors.

    I don’t think this team will be the same without him.  They need to figure this out.  


    I believe I said previously I’d be ok with Davis and Ty Johnson, with Gore Jr. being elevated as the 3rd.  

     

    Watched some games from last season. Cook is football fast. Gets the extra yards.  Is an absolute asset.  Love Davis, but he’s not the same guy..may get there. Ty Johnson is excellent, but he is the guy who spells the starter and is a great pass catcher.

     

    Is he worth 15 million? No. 10 million? Yes. Bills could even go 12.5 and get this done. Cap is an illusion.

     

    Fun fact.  Both James Cook and Ray Davis were both born in 1999, 3 months apart.

  5. The stadium could be built before estimated timelines if they wanted. Would just take more cash.  I’ve seen projects way behind get done on time with added crews, hours and of course money.  Of course, too many workers can actually stall progress..just needs good management.

     

    Like any construction project there will be schedule issues. That’s why there are project managers to get it back on track.

  6. Liked it when it first aired. Different, and enjoyed seeing the differing opinions in the format it was shot in.  Then it became a bunch of people barking and I didn’t watch it again. Do like Tony Reali, but unsure what format he could continue in with ESPN.

    I always thought PTI carried Around The Horn since its inception even before alternative/social media gave it more competition.  I do give the show credit for trying to combine a debate show and game show into one which was unique.  However, there was too much stimuli at once for my taste with the point system, the time limit, the elimination, and the revolving panelists.  I'm very curious to how they're going to replace that time slot.

     

    Reports are there was consideration of Shannon Sharpe hosting a show as part of a “Stephen A. Smith project”…whatever that means. If Stephen A is attached, count me out.  Because of Shannon’s current hiatus, not in the plans any longer.

    I think at this point he is so mentally scrambled I'd be surprised if he panned out in Dallas. 

     

    I don't think coaching was the issue per se. But I always felt it was an odd pick for the scheme. And both personnel and coaching deserve criticism for that because there is no way Beane picked him without McDermott and Frazier (at the time) being confident they could use him.

     

    Had he gone to a better scheme fit out of the gate could his career have been different? Maybe. At this point tho I think he will just meakly flame out of the league.


    I really feel the coaching staff gave him every opportunity. He could have been traded or straight up cut a few seasons ago and people would have understood. Once you are publicly in the “doghouse”, you either work to get better, or shrink and never improve. In feel he did the latter. 
     

    Could he have been better in a scheme built for his talents? Sure. That’s an interesting part of the NFL. How many players that never made it would have flourished in a different situation, ie: depth, coaching?
     

    For whatever reason he was “broken” here. I don’t believe it was largely due to coaching. Personal responsibility.

    It will be interesting to see what/if they choose to do a ‘soft opening’ of the new stadium. I don’t recall such a pre-event back in ‘73 before the infamous traffic disaster that occurred when they opened Rich Stadium on the same night as the Erie County Fair. 


    My rep at the “Experience” stated they are planning a stadium opening of some sort. Didn’t elaborate.

     

    My guess it will be a stress test on entering and exiting, food and beverage stations, ushers.  Along with walking the stadium, some sort of history exhibit, and a concert.

  9. Dude can say whatever he wants. He was given many opportunities to be a player and couldn’t do it.

     

    He was picked the same year as a 6th round pick who is a starter and just signed a nice extension. So coaching ain’t the problem.

    No one cares about that but us Bills fans. 


    I think it would make for cool TV showing them pre season getting ready for the season, and interjecting updates of the stadium. Would be neat.
     

    Plenty off Bills fans outside Buffalo. Feel this might be the most watched Hard Knocks.

    I'm glad it didn't get banned. 

     

    That'd be like the Bills pushing to have the forward pass banned because Brady spanked them for 20 plus years straight with it...


    Exactly. Bills couldn’t stop them, it was  on our team and they failed.

     

    Funny when people were up in arms when they’d run up the score throughout their games…stop them. Simple.

    A player should not receive assistance from a teammate to gain yardage -- PERIOD.  It's a stupid play and should have never been allowed.

     


    Am I a fan of the play?  Not really. Again, feel the pulling and carrying the guy down the field is less of a football play.

     

    Surprised it was upheld. It really is a cheap play.

  12. If you want to stop the tush push, stop it with your defense and not rules changes.

     

    Funny part is when they line up, it’s obvious what they are going to do. If your defense isn’t prepared enough to stop it, it’s on them.

     

    Not a fan of the play. More interested in stopping the pushing and pulling downfield to gain yardage. Find that to be more of a BS play when guys basically carry the guy with the ball.

    Gotta be honest. Love the fact there are few games after 11/16 and no night games in December.

  14. One of the issues I raised when at my season tix Experience was how bad lot 7 has gotten when leaving. If you leave at the end of a close game, where everyone leaves at once, can take well over an hour to leave. Problem is foot traffic stops car egress.  Honestly, nothing they can do except limit ped traffic. Late night games are most problematic.

     

    Only parked lot 1 for a preseason game so no feedback there.

     

    My advice? Park closest to your tix entrance.

  15. Love these insight videos!

     

    Excited about these guys. Hairston and Landon Jackson are my favorite picks. Expect both of them to contribute this year.  

     

    Gotta say, the opening?? Beane, drop it already.  Didn’t realize he was that thin skinned. WGR guys have opinions and I happen to agree with them, WR is important.
