Albany,n.y.

My favorite draft guru Dave Te' Thomas had Josh as the best QB prospect of 2018: https://www.bigblueview.com/2018/4/21/17264242/nfl-draft-report-josh-allen-cream-of-quarterback-crop-2018-nfl-draft-sam-darnold-josh-rosen Cream of the Crop -- Josh Allen, Wyoming While Allen is likely to go high in the draft, this projection is based on his pro football potential. Yes, there are still quite a few rough edges to work out, and those that compare him to Carson Wentz are missing the boat (Wentz is much more advanced), but he does have a Joe Flacco-like arm and the Matt Ryan ability to change a game with his arm. All he needs is patient coaching.

Yes, it was a force out. I was thinking of those other 2 games too, I was in the same seats all three games. At least you can't say I jinxed the Bills yesterday. I was thousands of miles away.

In 1977 I lived a mile and a half north of the stadium. I went to the 1st 2 home games of the season & got drenched walking home in at least one of them . The Bills were horrible that year & I didn't go to any more games. I used to go to Hamburg to do laundry on Sundays with a radio to listen to the game. I would drive past the stadium & it was pretty empty those Sundays in 1977.

I was in the stands, sitting in the opposite endzone club level seats. We left the stadium pretty dejected.

You can't have a top 10 without opening day September 12, 2004 vs Jacksonville. Bills up 10-6 with 2:18 left. They're at Jags 33 and instead of letting Lindell try a 50 yard FG, Mularkey chooses to punt and take a 5 yard delay of game penalty to move the ball back to the 38. Moorman fails to hit it inside the 10 & the Jags start at the 20 yard line. With 1:18 to go the Jags are 4th & 14 on their own 34 when Clements let Jimmy Smith catch a 45 yard pass to the Bills 21. Eventually the Jags get 4th & goal from the 7 with 4 seconds left. Leftwich hits Wilford on the last play of the game for a TD with 0:00 left and the Bills lose.

The Giants are getting better every week. This is not unusual when a rookie coach comes in and has a slow start and then things start to turn around. I think they have a decent shot to win the NFC Least.

The Steelers & Bills are lucky: Both teams had franchise QBs fall in their laps. Pittsburgh had a bad season and got lucky the year they drafted Roethlisberger because Bills GM Tom Donahoe wanted him but could not trade up ahead of Pittsburgh. My guess is he just wasn't offering enough. When it comes to getting the QB you want, a smart GM does whatever it takes & Doesn't worry about draft value formulas. Donahoe failed, much to the delight of his former team. The Bills man all along was Josh Allen. They got lucky when the Giants went RB at #2 in the 2018 draft. That made it possible for the Jets to draft Darnold. If the Giants draft Darnold, the Jets draft one of the 2 Joshs. Maybe they pick Rosen, but we'll never know. The Jets had to go QB that draft after the trade up. So the Bills get doubly lucky & shoot for pick 7 after a deal with Denver falls through at pick 5 because they wanted Chubb. They're also lucky that John Elway apparently wants no part of Josh Allen. Because Elway chooses Chubb over the trade, the Bills get to keep their other #1, which would have been part of the Denver trade. While they get lucky Josh falls down to 7, they also are lucky because they are prepared. The other team that wanted Josh was Arizona. Fortunately due to Beane's trading of Sammy Watkins and then trading up to 12 with the Glenn trade, the Bills are much better prepared to trade up to 7 than Arizona whose pick after the Glenn trade is 3 picks lower than the Bills pick and they have only one 2nd round pick. .

I read somewhere that a practice squad player can only play in 2 games and if they want him in more, he has to be signed to the active roster. If that's true then in order for Jackson to play, they're going to have to sign him. The Bills have an open roster spot.

No, those Bills haters chose the guy who Minnesota took with the Bills 1st round pick instead, even though Diggs is much better. I guess they still haven't gotten over Josh Allen & the Bills management proving them wrong.

If you look at a lot of the names I've seen on the internet as dead people voting the names are very common. I just sarcastically went to what I though would be very common names. I saw a meme saying that the late boxer Joe Frazier voted. I can imagine there are a lot of Joe Fraziers around, especially with parents who were fans of the boxer who have the last name Frazier.

It's currently .28%, that's more than 5 times the .05% margin .

Hillary conceded the day after the election. Obama invited Trump & Biden invited Pence to their offices & released all transition funds & data to Trump. The Republicans were the ones acting immature, refusing to ever tell Trump when he was wrong because they knew he wasn't mentally stable enough to handle it. The fact that he is now living in an alternate reality from the rest of the world, continuously saying he won an election he clearly lost and the Republicans continue to give the baby his bottle shows who the real losers are. Fixed

The taxpayers in Georgia are paying for the recount, not the GOP. Biden leads by over 14,000, too much for any recount to overcome.

Fixed

John Smith died over 100 years ago & now Trump's lawyers have proof that John Smith voted in 2020. Also James Jones, who they have a picture of his grave, voted in 2020.

Here's the real reason people don't want recounts unless the election is extremely close, like a few hundred votes: Recounts cost a lot of taxpayer money. They are a total waste of tax dollars & the time it takes to do them when someone has a lead of 10,000 + votes. Why are you so anxious to waste other people's money?

Yes, the doctors at the mental institution where the secret service will take him after he refused to leave on his own will conduct a swearing in ceremony just to calm him down long enough so they can get the straightjacket on him. After that they will turn on the TV and make him watch President Biden's inauguration coverage and if he acts up they'll sedate him.

Jack Kemp, the Bills 1st franchise QB. He led the Bills to 2 straight AFL championships & they played in 3 straight AFL championship games.

He does & so does his agent.

Here's something I posted on 9/30. I copied & this is a re-post to show how they researched Josh: Here's a great Allen & the Bills management team story: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2018/07/19/hair-raising-landing-didnt-deter-bills-from-drafting-allen/36985297/ Here's another one: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/how-the-bills-shocked-themselves-and-landed-josh-allen-tremaine-edmunds-in-2018-nfl-draft/ From 1st story: Once they gathered their breath, the Bills then proceeded with meeting Allen, and put him through a workout. Without providing Allen with a script of plays beforehand, Daboll began yelling out situations to see how quickly the quarterback could digest the information and make a throw. "It was, 'All right, the deep dig. Now. Five-step, this. Go.' And he processed it quickly," Beane said. "His workout was very good. And when we left there, we felt very confident." They were confident enough to give up two second-round picks to Tampa Bay and trade up five spots to draft Allen at No. 7. Where their confidence wavered involved what bumps they might encounter upon leaving Laramie. "We were a little distracted about how we were getting out of here," Beane said. "It was like, 'Where do we drive to have the plane meet us?'" CHARTING ALLEN To address questions regarding Allen's accuracy, Bills scouts turned to game tape to chart every throw he attempted. They assessed what caused the incompletions, including times he threw the ball away when his receivers weren't open. The Bills also took into account Wyoming's offensive philosophy, which didn't include many short passes. "He had no gimme throws," Beane said of a quarterback who went 152 of 270, in completing just 56.3 percent of his passes, with 16 touchdowns and six interceptions in 11 games last year. The only real concern was Allen's footwork, which Beane said notably improved by the time he played at the Senior Bowl in January. "I'm not saying it's fixed," Beane said of Allen's footwork. "But improved." From 2nd story: Allen helped his stock with a strong Pro Day and with how he handled himself during meetings with Bills ownership and management, both at Wyoming and in Buffalo. The more film they reviewed the more his best attributes stood out to them, with Beane still raving about Allen's gutty performance against Colorado State, a 16-13 Wyoming win under duress in November in which Allen completed just 10 of 20 passes for 138 yards and no scores, and accounted for just 198 total yards. "It was a snow game," Beane said. "In the first half it rained and in second half it snowed, and he was not only their running game and throwing game, he was their whole offense and he willed that team to victory. His stats, if you look at his stats, they look terrible. But if you watch the tape, that's where you see a guy that carried his team to victory." When Beane went to watch Allen play he paid almost as close attention to how he conducted himself on the sidelines -- keeping cool and rallying lesser teammates who routinely let him down with mistakes and dropped passes -- as he did to what was happening between the lines. His attitude and team-first ethos won the Bills over through the process. The subsequent time they spent with Allen leading up to the draft -- after that shaky interaction at the Senior Bowl -- backed up everything he had seen on film or from the binoculars in the press box. "We met Josh for the first time at the Senior Bowl and spent about a half hour with him, and it was tough," Beane said. "He was super nervous and I thought he was trying too hard, as some of the other ones were. He was just really wanting to impress. "When we flew to Laramie his flight was late and he was flying from L.A. to Denver and I think he felt bad that he was late for dinner and he showed up and I was like, 'Man, we've got our owners here, he's going to feel really [nervous].' And he was relaxed and calm and confident. It was like he was a different kid than we saw two months earlier. It just felt natural with him. "And we brought him here to Buffalo too. You know we saw him in his surroundings in Laramie, so let's bring him to our surroundings, and he just seemed like one of our type of guys. And you saw that leadership and the things I saw on the sidelines when I saw him play live. Even at the Senior Bowl he was high-fiving linemen, patting guys on the butt, clapping all the time. He's into it every play. It wasn't about him, it was about the team, the we, and that's what I think is really important."

That's exactly how all of the Bills management team that had 3 visits with Josh prior to the draft felt. He was their guy & they were very lucky that nobody else drafted him before he fell to #7 and they had more draft capital to outbid Arizona to move up & trade with Tampa Bay. They also got lucky that Cleveland didn't take Chubb at 4 because if they did, the Bills would have traded up to 5 with Denver and given up 1st round picks 12 &22 and 2nd round pick 53. The trade with Denver was contingent on Chubb being already drafted, since Denver told the Bills that if Chubb was there at 5, the trade was off.* * This information is based on multiple reports as well as the released draft board from WGR. See attached for the board:

I'd like to know if he's letting his brother run things or not. If he has let his brother run things with no interference, when he comes back in January will he fire everyone and level the whole thing?

I remember thinking it was pretty funny when Hue Jackson was about to get fired in Cleveland & Haley thought he was in contention to replace him. Instead not only did they go with Gregg-o but Haley got fired with Jackson the same day. Haley's head coaching career was a little better than Josh McDaniels, but they both lost their teams & got fired during the season. I still don't get why any team would give McDaniels another shot considering how horrible he was in Denver. He even pushed for them to draft Tim Tebow.

My priority re-signings in order are 1) Feliciano 2)D. Williams 3) Roberts 4) Milano

Diggs restructured earlier this year. It gave him more $ this year & next, but it opens the door for tearing up the contract in 2022 & re-signing him to a much bigger deal. Diggs agreed to a restructured contract with the Bills on Wednesday, increasing his compensation for the 2020 season by $3.3 million to $14.8 million, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. On top of that, Diggs' guaranteed money for 2021 will go up $7.7 million to $11 million, while his combined 2022-23 take will decrease from $25.55 million to $22.67 million. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/bills-stefon-diggs-has-contract-restructured/#:~:text=Diggs agreed to a restructured,Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
