Albany,n.y.

I don't agree. Yes the pure record was better 6-2 vs 4-4, it was more a function of opponents than road/home. The finale was a tank & do you really think they would have played a better game in Baltimore than OP?

I counted one more bar game: if the schedule as shown in the latest issue of Bills Digest is correct, week 2 the Giants@Bears game is on CBS. So unless they messed up plan on week 2 not being on local TV. Also since I think the Patriots will suck, I doubt we'll get the week 8 game on Ch 6. However, I think we'll get the Raiders game because the Patriots don't get games over us unless they're playing the giants or Jets.

Don't F up

I always thought the 1992 team was the best Bills roster man for man, but had some key injuries that hurt their record including Kelly who was hurt at the end of the season & early in Super Bowl XXVII. Very similar rosters but the few tweaks, including Christie replacing Norwood, put 1992's roster ahead of 1991's.

Polian was around when there was Plan B free agency. The two biggest signees were Kenneth Davis & Steve Christie. Among the losses was Martin Mayhew, who the Bills stashed on IR his rookie year, a common practice back then with late rounders who showed promise, & then Washington swooped in and signed him as a Plan B free agent. Polian was upset when Mayhew left, but he tried to have it both ways. Sam Wyche went nuts when we signed Christie away from Tampa Bay because he put Christie on Plan B after Christie promised him he'd stay in Tampa yet signed with the Bills about a minute after he was eligible to sign with another team. https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-1992-02-06-9202060666-story.html Wyche was furious and said there might have been a conspiracy between the Bills and Christie's agent, Gil Scott. "It happened so fast it makes you wonder if anything was planned ahead of time," Wyche said. "We're disappointed only in the fact we did a deal with people we felt we could trust and it didn't work out." Countered Scott: "Somebody's been watching too many JFK movies. There wasn't a lot of negotiating and I guarantee there was no plot." Scott claims his client signed after the Bills offered an agreement allowing Christie to surpass New Orleans' Morten Andersen as the NFL's highest-paid kicker. Christie, who was scheduled to earn $350,000 in base salary and bonuses with the Bucs, received a substantial signing bonus and will earn more than $550,000 next season from the Bills.

It looks like he's getting a head start on his coaching career at a player's salary instead of entry level coaching pay.

The fans, who have been staying home eating all day and will have a tough time fitting into the seats at New Era. Who won't be coming in out of shape: NY Jets D players-every morning their phone rings & on the other end is some guy banging a trash can and screaming at them to get out of bed and work out.

It's not a big deal, I was just setting the record straight because I remember Jim Kelly lying on the ground knocked out with ex-Bill WR turned DB now NFL analyst Bucky Brooks standing over him.

If it's so irrelevant why would you bring it up that I posted it? It's relevant if you revise history.

The last home playoff game was vs Jacksonville a year later, Kelly's last game.

When Tasker asked the question who they thought was picked too high, I knew there was no way any of them would answer it. They're not about to criticize another team publicly for reaching. That's for Mel Kiper to do, not NFL employees.

I, like I'm sure many others on this board, was at Shula's last game. The game was 12/30/1995. The Bills beat the Dolphins 37-22. To this date, it was the last time the Bills won a playoff game.

They would have moved up for Watson & the conversation would be the same. Here's something I haven't seen discussed very often: If Rex Ryan was still the coach, the Bills would have taken Watson. No way Rex lets a Clemson guy get away.

My prediction isn't among the available choices. Season starts in February and follows the USFL model.

I can't tell if you're delusional or being sarcastic. No team prepares for the future with a 5th round QB who is undersized and has a below average arm. At best he's being looked at as Barkley's replacement since Barkley's contract is up after 2020.

What is he talking about? He compares Josh Allen to Jim Kelly's father, Joe Kelly. Does that mean he's predicting Josh Allen will have a HOF QB for a son?

After the 4th round, anything you get out of the draft is a bonus. To give Ds out on late rounders is ridiculous. This is one of the reasons in past drafts Beane has traded up in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rounds, because early quality is better than late quantity.

Except for the FACT that it was no secret that the Bills wanted Allen, not Rosen. Go back & look at all the 2018 mock drafts. It was well known throughout the media that the Bills wanted to trade up for Allen, not Rosen. To think Tampa Bay didn't know the trade was for Allen when virtually the entire NFL & the people who cover the NFL knew the Bills were much higher on Allen than Rosen assumes a level of incompetence on the part of Tampa Bay that defies belief. Anyone who did an extensive review of pre-draft coverage knows what I said is completely true. Now you can come back with talk of smokescreens & stuff like that, but take some time (like I did) and look at the mock drafts & you'll realize that it was no secret how the Bills felt when it came to choosing between the 2 Joshs. Just about every well known "NFL Insider" had the Bills taking Allen. If it was one or 2 you might have a case, but it was virtually every one of them.

I'm sure there are plenty of times when the team trading down knows exactly who the other team is trading up for. A good example is when we sent picks to Tampa to get Josh Allen. Before the draft, most late mock drafts had the Bills trading up for Allen, although most had them going higher than 7. Another example is when Houston traded up for Watson. I'm pretty sure Cleveland knew exactly who Houston wanted.

The problem is they appear to have invited friends over who are young & could be transmitting the virus to the parents there without knowing it.

There's no way that all those people at those homes all live there. Social distancing does not exist for NFL rookies.

My guess is that if there's a season with no fans in the stands, the NFL is going to expand the availability of Sunday Ticket to just about everyone with a computer or cable. The Direct TV customers will be given it free as an incentive not to switch providers, mainly because the NFL will be giving Direct TV a break since they will lose exclusivity. .

It was a half hour from 6:30-7:00.Chris Brown, Maddy Glab & Eric Wood were on. Wood is trying to catch Fitz with his beard, but he has a long way to go.
