  1. Russell was always lazy & never was going to make it in the NFL with his attitude. I've seen stories about Ryan Leaf pre & post draft that also showed him to have a bad attitude. One thing with Allen. Nobody ever found his attitude during the draft process to be anything but top notch, especially in his 3 pre-draft visits with the Bills. Here's a gem I found about Russell's interview with Detroit: In 2015, Matt Millen said in a radio interview that he warned former Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis not to draft Russell in 2007. According to Millen, Russell struggled to pay attention during a pre-draft interview in his office during a visit to Detroit which had the No. 2 pick that year to the point where Millen kicked Russell out after he kept looking down at his watch. "I keep talking to him, I ask him questions and he looks at his watch," Millen said. "I said, 'You got some place you need to be?' And he goes, 'Oh, no, no, no. I'm sorry. Sorry, sir.' So I ask him another question, he looks at his watch and I said, 'You're done, get out of here." Millen said he then told Russell to go to see head coach Rod Marinelli, who later also told Russell to leave his office. "So I'm done, I can't believe what I just witnessed, and so I call Al," Millen said, "I get on the phone and I say, 'Coach, I don't know what you're thinking, but don't take JaMarcus Russell. Don't take Calvin Johnson, but don't take JaMarcus Russell.
  2. More confirmation from WRGB's website: 1:00 PM NFL Football "Los Angeles Chargers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers" 1:00 PM - 4:25 PM LIVE 4:25 PM NFL Football "Buffalo Bills at Las Vegas Raiders" 4:25 PM - 7:30 PM LIVE 7:30 PM 60 Minutes 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM NEW
  3. Wow! How could the Bills be so stupid to have picked Beane over you after Whaley got fired? Your credibility sinks even lower when you post nonsense like this. Nobody has been dead on as possible (whatever that means) about anything for the last 20 years. You were right because you agreed with Beane, but you were also right when you disagreed with Beane's 2nd round pick. Guess what, I'd rather have Diggs and Ford than Metcalf. Beane saw an O-line need last year & went for it after signing 2 WRs. Then this year he went for an established #1 WR. You don't usually dial up #1 WRs at the end of the 2nd round. If you're so good send your resume & posts from the last 20 years to the Jets. They need someone who claims to be as good as you.
  4. With the postponement of the Patriots-Chiefs game Sunday because of positive coronavirus tests on both teams, the NFL has moved the Bears-Colts game from 1 to 4:25 p.m. Sunday to give CBS a second doubleheader game. The postponement will enable Capital Region viewers to see Bills-Raiders at 4:25 p.m. The game initially was trumped by Patriots-Chiefs. Some markets will get Bears-Colts, but those will be mostly in the Midwest. https://blog.timesunion.com/sportsmedia/patriots-chiefs-postponement-puts-bills-raiders-on-local-tv-as-nfl-juggles-schedule/19817/

  6. I know it's nitpicking, but there are a couple of flaws in the arricle. 1) The author states Arizona was at #10. " The Cardinals, however, were looming at No. 10, and the Bills were originally picking at No. 12." They were at 15 when the Bills traded up to 7. They moved up to 10 to select Rosen when the Raiders were on the clock at 10. They didn't have the #10 pick until they traded up, presumably to get ahead of Miami. 2) When the Ravens drafted Jackson, Marty Mornhinwig was the Ravens OC, Roman was TE coach Jackson's rookie year. Roman was promoted to OC for the 2019 season. Saying that Roman was on the offensive coaching staff doesn't mean he'd be working with Jackson while coaching the TEs.
  7. Unfortunately, not everyone will get the game because CBS moved the Colts/Bears game to 4:25. They better show the Bills in Albany or there will be people outside WRGB with pitchforks & torches outside WRGB's building.
  8. It's official, NE @ KC postponed. The Bills game will be shown in Albany. No way Albany shows Colts/Bears game which has been moved to 4:25 & will be shown in the Midwest.
  9. Sorry, but when you are knocking Beane for not taking a guy who was the last pick in the 2nd round who turned out to be the 9th WR taken in the draft and comparing his draft status to the 7th overall pick & the 3rd QB taken, you lose all credibility. Fans from every team could post the same thing based on how Metcalf is playing. You can do the same thing whenever a guy gets overlooked by just about every GM & turns out to be a good to great player. I repeat 9th WR, last pick of the 2nd round. Somewhere in NY there's a Jets fan saying the Jets GM blew it by not drafting Gabe Davis before we did. You can do this every draft. Why didn't we draft Brady in the 5th round? Just because you felt strongly about a player who the Bills didn't draft & you were right about his talent when no NFL GM thought of him as highly as you did, doesn't make you GM material. I trust Beane's judgement over any poster on this board 24/7.
  10. With Newton out, that's possible. I hope once KC gets ahead everyone turns the game off & switches to the Giants game & WRGB looks at the ratings and never chooses NE over the Bills again. Edit: WGR is talking about the game being postponed. I hope it happens because if it does, we get the Bills game. From a purely selfish view I say postpone, postpone, postpone! Double Edit: Schefter is saying the Pats game is getting postponed. WGR is talking like it's a done deal that we'll be the CBS national game at 4:25. NFL Network now saying game postponed until at least Monday or Tuesday Nobody messes with the Buffalo Bills being show on TV in Albany.
  11. East Rutherford, N.J.? Seriously, the Giants trained here for years & the stadium is the closest to Albany in the entire NFL. It makes perfect sense that people here would be fans of NY teams. Before the virus I would go to Yankee Stadium every year. We have bus trips to a lot of NY teams from Albany. We're also not that far from Boston, Mass. Buffalo is further away than NY, NJ, Boston, etc. The only reason the Bills are popular here is because a lot of us lived in Buffalo prior to coming to Albany. I've lived in both the NYC metro area & Buffalo metro area. You sound like one of the NYC hating jerks I ran into when I lived in Buffalo.
  12. The topic is Albany Bills fans
  13. We made the front page of today's Albany Times Union: https://www.timesunion.com/sports/article/3-0-Buffalo-Bills-not-on-local-TV-again-15611913.php
  14. Caller to WFAN "Adam Gase makes Rich Kotite look like Paul Brown"
  15. Joe Thomas & Steve Smith were really going after each other. Smith : Gregg is dirty, Thomas, the ex LT (future HOF) block better then they can't hit the QB.
  16. I highly recommend going to WFAN's website & listening. 73 year old Steve Somers who has seen it all, is calling the Jets the worst team in the NFL. Unfortunately some fans are making Yankees calls when all I want to hear is the Jets funeral march.
  17. I just turned on WFAN. Ripping Gase & Greggo
  18. Making Gore run is elder abuse.
  19. Unnecessary roughness. Lots of leeway what they can call.
  20. I had us 11-5 this season, winning the 1st 4 games, so, so far I've been right the 1st 3 games. I had losses at Tenn, KC, SF, NE & home vs Sea. I could easily see us winning Tenn, especially if they aren't at full strength, and SF. That gets us up to 13-3.
  21. I hope the Chiefs win by 50 and WRGB never shows another Patriots game this season. I was holding out hope, but right after the news tonight CH 6 advertised Patriots game for Sunday. MFers.
  22. At least this time the fix in the schedule should be pretty easy. Pittsburgh /Baltimore game gets moved from week 7 to week 8 since they have the same bye week in week 8. Then Pittsburgh/Tennessee gets moved to week 7 where Tennessee has their bye originally scheduled.
