Albany,n.y.

I used to live between Rensselaer where the train started & Schenectady. In the beginning, when I went with others, we'd all meet in Rensselaer, but later I realized it was easier to go to Schenectady. Also, if I was going alone I'd go to Schenectady because I could sleep a little later. As the years went by & the Bills were no longer a Super Bowl contender the number of riders diminished. I remember one of the final years the Bills were playing the Eagles & I got to the Schenectady train station and it was dark & spooky & no one else was there. Finally 2 or 3 people came & when the train pulled up there were only 2 train cars attached. I had the feeling that day that the Bills Express wasn't going to be around much longer.

QBs don't grow on trees. The gap between franchise QBs can be decades & Belichick doesn't have decades. Let's look at the class of 1983 QBs & what happened to their teams after their franchise QB retired. The Bills went over 20 years between franchise QBs, Miami hasn't found theirs since Marino hung them up & Denver had a few years of P. Manning at the end of his career but except for the fluke of his injury in Indy & getting replaced by Luck, Denver hasn't had a franchise QB & that one wasn't drafted by them. Want to see how bad it can get? The Jets haven't ever had another franchise QB since Joe Namath.

If Josh was on the Jets they never would have fired Bowles or the GM & they wouldn't have been the no-talent disaster they were under Gase. They would have given Josh the weapons needed instead of letting his best receiver go like the Jets did to Darnold. If the GM totally screws up his job like Joe Douglas did last year in a failed tank to get Trevor Lawrence (I have always thought that all tanks are done by the GM messing up the roster so that the coaching staff has an insufficient amount of players to win because all players & coaches play to win every game-except playoff spot locked up teams in season finales) then he can make a QB look bad, but you can't ruin a good player. Tannehill's biggest problem in Miami was he kept getting hurt. Bad coaches can make a player look bad, but that's pretty short term for guys destined to be stars. Look at when Jim Kelly came here. He had a horrible 1st coach with the Bills & the team knew the sooner they got rid of Bullough, the better. You don't have to have a great organization to develop a QB, but you can't have a joke of a coaching staff either because the play calling can make a QB look bad even when the talent is still evident in spite of some bad stats.

Nonsense! Josh Allen had the worst offense in his rookie year than any of the QBs. No OL, no WR, basically he was a one man show his rookie year miraculously winning 5 games in 11 starts & probably would have won a 6th if Peterman hadn't messed things up in Houston. Josh Allen overcame that offense. That offense brought his stats down where the people who don't watch him play questioned his NFL viability. The Bills who saw him every day never questioned his ability because they understood they gave him nothing to work with as a rookie. If he was a product of his rookie environment, when he also had a QB coach who never coached QBs before, he would have sunk like Josh Rosen. Rosen is now on his 4th team, because like every other QB in the NFL who busted, the NFL game was too big for him, no matter what the environment around him was. Great QBs change the enviroment themselves, bust QBs will fail everywhere. Using your premise, if environment was the most important thing, all those mid round QBs drafted in NE would all be superstars. Tom Brady would uplift any team & if the Bills, during their drought years had drafted Brady, they would have won a ton of games and possibly multiple Super Bowls, no matter how bad the coaching staff was. Nowadays, most QBs have their own QB coach or some kind of mentor who isn't part of the NFL. If the team he's on isn't providing a proper environment, the player will lean more heavily on his private coach. The good & great ones make their own environment & the bad ones flame out no matter how good the environment around them is on their team. QBs make coaches, not the other way around. Year after year there are coaches who never have won anything before become geniuses with a franchise QB. Just look at what Jim Kelly did for Marv Levy; Brady did for Belichick, who is below 500 without Brady; Roethlisberger has done for Tomlin; Peyton Manning did for just about all his coaches; and Russell Wilson has done for 2 time NFL loser Pete Carroll. Most HOF coaches get there on the back of a HOF QB.

Every time Tyrod thinks he's going to be his team's starter, they yank the ball away like Lucy does to Charlie Brown.

Carson Palmer retired from the Bengals years ago & forced a trade. I doubt Aaron Rodgers has played his last NFL game.

BB saw enough in Brady in camp as a rookie to keep 4 QBs in 2000 when Brady was the 4th stringer. While many teams would have waived him & tried to sneak him on the practice squad, the Pats kept him on the 53 man roster the entire season, so BB gets a lot of credit for taking Brady seriously.

Singletary has been working hard this offseason. Let's see the new Devin before we think about trading him. Now as far as the Rams RB situation, I'd advise Cory Bojorquez to start practicing at RB since he's not beating out their punter.

There's only person I call coach: Chuck Dickerson during his WGR days.😄 If Deion want's to be as respected a coach as Nick Saban he needs to go out & win some NCAA championships.

Yes he did. In fact he hasn't taken off his Bills uniform since the day he was drafted. It gets pretty bulky in the shower but the worst part is he wears it to bed, shoulder pads & all & his girlfriend is getting really annoyed.

Years ago one of my friends had a girlfriend whose brother was selling illegal jerseys. My friend got a Trent Edwards jersey & gave it to me. It's in the style of the ones in the 2000s decade. I wore it to 1 or 2 games & then the Bills cut Edwards, so I cut his name out since it was one of those with extra material for the players name. I still have it in a closet with clothes I never wear anymore. PS: I just looked at it & the funniest part is it has a tag that says "NFL Authentic"

With the exception of #4 John Harbaugh, 4 of the top 5 all had future HOF QBs. The biggest key to longevity as an NFL coach is to have a great QB & don't ever get him so mad at you he wants you to leave or he wants to leave himself (See Rodgers/McCarthy; Rodgers with team management...OK, just see PO'd Rodgers every few years) As long as McDermott rides along with Josh Allen he'll keep movin' on up.

Anyone going to their 1st Bills game has to go to Hammer's to see Ken Johnson (AKA Pinto Ron) get a ketchup & mustard bath. You might also get a bowling ball shot if you're into that stuff.

Now we know the real reason he's the only unsigned draft choice. He signed with Carolina!

In 2018 Dan Orlovsky was one of the guys who thought Josh had too many flaws including being inaccurate and he didn't think he was much of a prospect. He came on WGR a number of times & expressed his skepticism of Josh. As Josh improved he changed his mind. Same thing with Chris Trapasso who also had a low opinion of Josh in 2018 & now raves about how good he is. Orlovsky in 2018 on Josh: When the ball is snapped it's almost like, I don't know what's going on … It seems like he doesn't have a plan and a process, and to get to the NFL level and to not be able to do the little things—if you can't do the little things, you can't do the big things. The little things are your plan and your process. The big things are executing against what happens. And so it just seems like he doesn't have that as part of his DNA, as part of his quarterbacking. And that for me I go, Well, what does it matter how big he is, how athletic he is, if you could throw it to the moon, the field’s a hundred yards. To not be able to adjust or react to a Will linebacker blitzing is alarming to me. Alarming. “And then the second thing—I saw this at the combine, and it made me go watch all his tape again. But when he was throwing at the combine, he was staring at his receivers. And I was like, well, that’s a bad habit, and it’s a habit you can create just trying to be better at accuracy. So, I watched all his tape, and that showed up on tape a bunch where he would just stare at receivers when he catches the snap … And so for me those are things that are really hard to change. You got to change years and years of having those bad habits.” Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso Because QB prospects are apparently the talk of today. A reminder of my current rankings: Mason Rudolph [small space] Lamar Jackson [one prospect] Josh Rosen [small space] Sam Darnold [sizable space] Baker Mayfield [two rounds] Josh Allen 2:33 PM · Feb 19, 2018·Twitter for iPhone

If you're talking about 1918, there was no vaccine that had already been given to millions of people that winter.

Last September I posed the question whether the opt-outs were regretting their choice to opt out in 2020. Since nobody opted out this year, I wonder how many of last year's opt-outs regret sitting out 2020.

That's what I thought so since you beat me to it, all I have left is the snark I was going to include in my post: Next thing we'll hear about Harry is he running around naked threatening to jump out a window.

The person most responsible for stopping the Jets offense last year was GM Joe Douglas. Gase was a horrible head coach but his GM did him & especially Sam Darnold no favors by assembling a bad roster.

Yes, but he's rich & never lets the kids forget that.

When I want to call someone the word that was filtered out, I just call him a Jauron & everyone knows what I'm talking about like "Belichick can be such a Jauron"

Maybe Marrone was, although technically he came from Syracuse University and most of his recent jobs were in college & at the time the criticism was when he was NO's OC Payton ran the offense. As far as Williams & Mularkey, there were much hotter assistants than either one of them. When Gregg was hired it was only after Marvin Lewis basically said his wife wouldn't let him go anywhere near Buffalo. Lewis was the top choice & the Bills settled for Williams. When Mularkey was hired, pretty much on the cheap end compared to others out there, the talk was that Donahoe hired Mularkey rather than someone else because he wanted a coach that could not gain enough power to push him out like what happened to him in Pittsburgh.

Every time I see someone using QB stats I'm reminded how meaningless they are-EVERY ONE of them. QB rating 87 vs 67-I'd take Allen's rookie year over Tua's 10 times out of 10 because he looked so much better with the game on the line than Tua, whose coach never trusted him with the game on the line. 5 wins in 11 starts (The Houston loss was really on Peterman) was a virtual miracle with the 2018 roster. 11 TDs vs 10 TDs passing to nobody. Tua total TDs produced when adding in rushing TDs by the QB 14, Josh 18. Sometimes a QB with guts throws more INTs than someone playing it safe (see Johnson, Edwards & Taylor for examples of Bills QBs afraid to throw the ball). It's worse when the minor leaguers he's throwing to can't run proper routes like the 2018 Bills WR corps(e). From the very start Josh Allen was, is & always will be miles ahead of Tua. Tua sucks and always will. There's a good chance the 2022 Dolphins QB is Deshaun Watson if he stays out of jail.

Sean McDermott is the only first time coach in Bills history with a winning record. The most successful Bills coaches prior to McDermott all had prior pro football head coaching experience. All the 1st time HCs failed. I think the main reason is because Ralph did not believe in paying top dollar for an unproven coach and the hot assistants weren't about to take less money to come to Buffalo with an owner who liked to "make suggestions" to his head coach. Instead we got coaches who got promoted within like Jim Ringo and Kay Stephenson, and when Ralph went outside the organization, he ended up with coaches like Gregg Williams, Mike Mularkey, & Doug Marrone.

Bruce was in the Bills locker room, not another team's. He was saying that when you are trying to win as a team, nobody cares what you do off the field (unless, like Bruce it leads to a suspension). This is not true in all locker rooms. I read a story when Glen Parker was with the Giants he had some problems with some of his more religious teammates because he is an atheist.
