  1. For those of us that don't live in WNY, this year is especially hard because you have to take so much from fans of the local team. I can't wait for the Bengals to lose two in a row so that things can return to normal around here. But what I don't get is how my being angry and not "drinking the cool-aid" is going to change anything. I keep hoping that Beene is some sort of genius because if the negative posters here are correct then we are screwed for a decade. Regardless of what anyone says, you cannot keep firing coaches and GMs so we have to keep these guys until at least 2020. I hated the Rex hiring but I wish he was still the coach. Not because he was a better coach than McD, but because an organization needs to build some stability. 

     

    And FWIW, Preston Brown has been the most interviewed Bengal in the early season. Every time I turn on local sports talk (if you think WGR is bad, try ESPN 1360 in Cincinnati), Preston is getting interviewed. He's a local kid (Northwest Highschool) returning home and Dave Lapham (Cincinnati's color guy and a bigger homer than Hawk Harrelson) just keeps asking him about his childhood fandom how he felt when this or that bad thing happened to the Bengals. And Preston feels the need to keep proving his loyalty to his new team by telling everyone far and wide how happy he is to be "home." Of course he's going to be asked about this happening on his former team and he chose to use it as another example of why he's happy to be playing for the Bengals, a team with an owner so cheap that he refuses to hire a GM or any other player personnel staffers.

    I don't know if he'll be the next Brett Favre or Ryan Leaf, but I'm totally on board with him as our QB.  Good luck to you, Josh...let your Bills career......Begin!

    The kid could be a bust, but his attitude is too good for him to be Ryan Leaf and his work ethic is to good for him to be Jamarcus Russell. Most guys bust because of a combination of an entitled attitude and a lack of skills. There are of course exceptions, including a few recent ones for the Bills but I expect Josh Allen to take the opportunity that he has been given and to run with it. 

  3. I’m usually one to get mad at this type of thing, but there is nothing to any of these tweets. He uses the n-word the way it is used is the popular music of our time. White kids should not do this, but they do all the time. And the other thing is clearly a joke in response to another joke. I for one don’t believe that if he were a racist that it would be his business. I don’t want racists on the team, just like I don’t want domestic abusers. But Josh Allen does not reveal himself a racist in those tweets, only a 21st century teenager who didn’t consider himself an NFL prospect at the time. All that being said, I hope that the Bills don’t draft Paxton Lynch 2.0.

    The great thing about Metallica songs is the draft picks can tailor them to whoever drafts them

     

    Ride the Lightning would be a great choice if drafted by the Chargers

    The Four Horsemen if drafted by the Colts or Broncos

    The Thing That Should Not Be for anyone unfortunate to be drafted by Cleveland

    Master of Puppets for whoever is drafted by the Patriots*

    Leper Messiah for any QB drafted by the Bills

    Instead of Dalton (who has his faults but has been a pro bowl qb and to the playoffs many times), they would have Locker, Gabbert, or Ponder.

    The Bengals only had one full-time scout and three "scouting consultants" in 2011 (I checked Internet Archive). And remember, they have no GM. So who the hell knows who made that pick. And Locker, Gabbert and Ponder were all long gone by the time the Bengals picked Andy Dalton at 35th (Rd. 2). So I could argue that other teams saved Mike Brown from himself.

    I would LOVE to do this.  I asked a while back if anyone could get me Kiper and Mayock's past QB evals so I can compare them to what happened.

    I don't have ESPN Insider thus no access.

     

     

    I don't care how Kiper's mocks compare to the actual draft but I would be interested to know how well he evaluates players compared to NFL GMs. What I would want to do is to take a team (lets say the Bills) and for a period of 10 years (2005-2015) compare their actual draft performance to how they would have performed if they had selected Kiper's "best available" every time they picked. 

  6. I'm OK with whoever they pick, but I hope that the Bills aren't. I'm not the one spending hours upon hours scouting these players. Even if I did, I would hope that professional scouts see things in game film that I as a fan do not see. I also didn't sit in the interview room and I wasn't at the private workouts. So given the fact that they have a lot more information than I do, I would hope that the the Bills' front office has much stronger opinions on these players than I do.
