  1. Yes and there are plenty of defensive backs out there for McDermott to pounce on. Maybe even an inside linebacker!!! 😮
  2. A few quick observations: 1) 10 penalties in the first half. 10 freaking penalties? That is an average of one every 3 minutes of playing time. This begs the question.....when will McDermott be held accountable for this? Who should we blame? Beane? The refs? Mr. Pegula will have to get sick of his act for a change to be made because McDermott obviously has more power than Beane. 2) Did you see Gabe Davis toss his helmet after what appeared to be a miscommunication between him and Josh on a pass? How many players tosed their helmets after his numerous drops this and last season? Imagine how good Josh would be with even an adequate #2 receiver, let alone a good one!!! 3) Diggs is great. He really is and not only that, he could be seen trying to calm down the pouting Diggs and encouraging other teammates. Isn't he supposed to be the "diva?" 4) The offensive line played well, giving Josh time to throw some freaking great passes, to include a deep out pattern in the pouring rain. VERY few qbs could have made that throw. I made it a point to watch Spencer Brown and imo he played rather well. Dawkins also played a fine game imo. In summary, I think that McDermott is the main problem with this team. Between the poor drafts and the last minute losses in important games, I think that it is time for a change, unless he by some miracle turns this team completely around. It might happen too but sadly, it does seem unlikely. As always, jmo. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. I haven't seen enough of many of them to say who is the best prospect, but I must say that Jayden Daniels looks GREAT. He is a sharp passer with a strong arm and he can run, and throw on the run.
  4. I'm not so sure. In his first few seasons coming out of Texas, Earl was just about as fast as OJ in the 100 yard dash. Did he have moves like OJ? No, of course not but he really didn't need them. He had Derek Henry strength (if not stronger) with blinding speed. I saw players get serious injuries trying to tackle Earl. I'm not trying to say that Earl was better than OJ. Stating that one is better than the other is subjective imo. My thing is that Earl Campbell does belong in that top tier, especially in his early years. Jmo.
  5. Btw Coach Saban said in the press conference that they actually practice that situational play. EASILY the GOAT. The way they played one would think that they have zero chance to beat Georgia. That said, giving points to Nick Saban/Alabama is usually a bad idea. ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  6. Street life You can run away from time Street life For a nickel or a dime Street life But you better not get old Street life Or you're gonna feel the cold
  7. Just as time knew to move on since the beginning And the seasons know exactly when to change Just as kindness knows no shame Know through all your joy and pain That I'll be loving you always As today I know I'm living but tomorrow Could make me the past but that I mustn't fear For I'll know deep in my mind The love of me I've left behind 'Cause I'll be loving you always
  8. Hey, girl, stop what you're doin' Hey, girl, you'll drive me to ruin I don't know what it is I like about you, but I like it a lot Won't you let me hold you, now, let me feel your lovin' touch Communication breakdown, it's always the same Havin' a nervous breakdown, a-drive me insane
  9. You are 100% correct. That said, as I recall the salary range for corners isn't necessarily increasing like other positions as of late. Perhaps I'm wrong. The thing is, if the secondary is your main focus in the draft, your team will not be a winner. Levy proved this for a long time. McDermott proved this in his first year hear. I mean, which players are playing the best at corner for the Bills? Is it the guy who we gave away the Mahomes pick for? Is it the guy we traded up for? McDermott's fingerprints are all over these stupid deals. Teams don't need Mel Blount and Deon Sanders type superstars to play in a zone. If you have them, GREAT, but should they be a team's main focus? I think not. On a side note, I noticed that the refs are finally starting to call penalties on the "great" Sauce Gardner. I don't yet know what conclusion to draw from this but I do find it interesting.
  10. Bills - 37 Eagles - 34 Bills win on a very late field goal. McDermott is thought of as a good coach again.....at least for one more week.
  11. My vote was not for Beane exclusively. It was for the McDermott/Beane combo, with McDermott certainly having the greater say. I don't think any of us know what Beane would do without defense oriented McDermott dominating the conversation and trading up for defenders. Sorry, McDermott DID trade down when he gave the Mahomes pick to KC, trading down 17 spots in the "process," and took a first round corner to play in a zone. Nope, can't pin that one on Beane.
  12. You mean I've been dancin' on the floor darlin' And I feel like I need some more and I Feel your body close to mine and I Move on love it's about that time Make me feel - mighty real Make me feel - mighty real You make me feel mighty real You make me feel mighty real
  13. Did you ever see Earl Campbell in his prime?
  14. Ooh, Jackie Blue What's a game girl, if you never lose? Ask a winner and you'll probably find Ooh, Jackie they've lost at sometime Don't try to tell me that you're not aware Of what you're doing and that you don't care You say it's easy, just a natural thing Like playing music, but you never sing
  15. My answers are NO and NO. 1) I have seen enough of the Bills sucking and do not want them to lose. The only exception might be if we were battling for the first pick of a draft, and even that I am saying as a possibility, not an assertion. 2) No way. My position has long been that he has FAR too much power in the organization, to include the draft and free agent signings. He was too defensive minded since the day he arrived and traded the Mahomes pick and drafted a corner, this on a team that was in need of a quarterback. This dumb move was a harbinger of things to come. McDermott needs to go but hey......jmo.
  16. Baby mine Feel so good All the time If you would The girl knows how to love Both night and day She know how to feel so fine All over in every way Ain't no lie If you go I won't die Sure won't grow Sit 'round running numbers Sit 'round with my friends Wasting time now, watching the sky Waiting for the story to end
  17. In the morning, when you rise Do you think of me and how you left me cryin'? Are you thinkin' of telephones And managers and where you got to be at noon? You are living a reality I left years ago it quite nearly killed me In the long run it will make you cry Make you crazy and old before your time And the difference between me and you I won't argue right or wrong but I have time to cry my baby You don't have to cry I said cry my baby you don't have to cry I said cry my baby you don't have to cry
  18. I spoke to him tonight. He is still active, all over the internet. 😁
  19. I have a friend I've never seen He hides his head inside a dream Someone should call him and see If he can come out Try to lose the down that he's found But only love can break your heart Try to be sure right from the start Yes, only love can break your heart What if your world should fall apart?
  20. Do not sleep on Jermaine Burton. He might be a bit of a head case (not sure) but he gets open. He is very quick and has great moves. It is harder to rate Alabama receivers this season because the QB is at his best running the football. That said, Jermaine is a very talented kid. I'm not totally sure if he is ready to be a #1 receiver, however; I am all but certain that he would be an excellent #2. Jmo. Excellent!!!!!
  21. When you wish upon a star Your dreams will take you very far, yeah But when you wish upon a dream Life ain't always what it seems, oh-yeah What you see on nights so clear, hey In the sky so very dear, yeah You're a shiningr star No matter who you are Shining bright to see What you could truly be (what you could truly be)
  22. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^You mean there are lots of inaccurate, exagerated posts? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I couldn't resist.
  23. I got to keep my image While suspended from a throne That looks out upon a kingdom With people all unknown Who imagine I'm not human And my heart is made of stone And I've never had no problems And my toilet's trimmed with chrome I'm a man, yes I am And I can't help but love you so No, no, no, no, no, no
  24. I'm not so sure I would call him a dictator. He is more of an inadequate flim flam man imo. One who needs to get out of Buffalo and take his b.s. "process" with him. Btw, GREAT screen name! Roscoe was a good example of what was wrong with the Bills. The year he was taken in the second round, he was our first draft selection, having traded away the #1 for the great JP Losman. Roscoe had a few good returns but was a pretty poor receiver. He was listed at 5'9"/175 but he appeard to be even smaller. Do you remember the news story when he opened his door one day, saw snow, and ran back in the apartment? Tough times in Buffalo!
  25. McDermott has far more say in the organization than Beane. FAR more. This is not all that unusual on football teams. Pat Kirwin was GM when Pete Carroll was coach and Kirwin calls Carroll his "boss." In fact, Beane was almost certainly hired on McDermott's say so.
