You'll be waiting a while for McDaniel since he recently signed an extension & has a built-in excuse with Tua out. Saleh is on thin ice in NJ. You may get your wish pretty soon on that one. Chances are he & GM Douglas will both be let go.

I'm concerned the cops will pull the Bills bus over and handcuff all the Bills starters. 😀

In the middle of the game, I got a call from someone in Springville, so I picked it up and it was someone conducting a survey. I told her "I'm watching the Bills game, I don't have time for a survey." The Bills won because I chose them over a phone survey.

Let's give Watson a break. He's no Brett Favre, and maybe that's a good thing. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/browns-deshaun-watson-says-loss-of-father-friend-took-emotional-toll-heading-into-week-1-game-vs-cowboys/ar-AA1qgYPj?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=HCTS&cvid=2be384ce24f3492c816944328065ff8e&ei=142 Watson had a lot more on his mind than just the football game, losing his father and a former teammate the week leading up to the season opener. The 28-year-old said he isn't using it as an excuse, but the deaths took an emotional toll on him. "At the end of the day, football is definitely something that you got to take very, very seriously and it's our job, it's our career, but you know, there are other things that are bigger than this," Watson said, via SI.com. "I lost my dad Friday. I lost my brother, my teammate yesterday, Diondre Overton, only 26 years old. So, yeah, I mean, it's been a long week ... it wasn't even really about football."

This is so stupid. How many coaches make it 7 years? I'm guessing not many. It's not that the players get tired since there's so much player turnover. It's more because coaches are hired by underachieving teams & it's tough to turn a team around enough not to get fired within 7 years when you start with a bad team. The only teams that keep coaches around that long are teams that acquired a franchise QB before the coach could get fired. A franchise QB can carry a coach for many seasons. Maybe the real stat is no coach has lasted 7 years without a franchise QB.

He going to be arrested after the game for stealing millions from the Browns.

We lost about 1/3 of our entrants. I have 2 entries & had the Bills & Bears & was down 14 & 17 points early & pulled out both games. I also had a bet on the Bears -4 & it was looking very bleak at 17-0, but the D & special teams came through for the Bears, although the throw on the pick 6 by Levis was a boneheaded play. The game got turned around by Simone Biles' husband on special teams.

He's also half the size of Josh. 😄

Corrected

It would be more accurate if the top half said "Jets fans on opening day before kickoff"

I've got some great news: I got a call from a mole deep in Goodell's office & he told me the NFL is fixing this season so that the Bills will be Super Bowl Champions. So save the week after the Super Bowl for celebrations. If I was still working, I'd put in vacation time now.

The good news is they've been putting the best Monday Night Football games on ABC. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, it's easy to go to the store of your choice, get an indoor digital antenna, change the input to TV & get any over the air station on your TV. A while ago, Verizon cut off our ABC station in a dispute with the station's owners & I set up one of my TVs so that I can switch the input from cable to TV & I don't have to worry about losing any over the air stations.

Totally depends on the teams. Whenever the Bills play, I'm watching. If an AFC East team is playing, I'm more interested. I don't watch most of the NFC night games.

When you're in a playoff team mode with a franchise QB in his 20s, there is no need to keep a developmental QB on the roster when you only carry 2 QBs. You want a veteran with starting experience, not some inexperienced novice with no chance of winning any games. That's the Bills model ever since Josh attained franchise QB status & will probably stay that way until Josh gets closer to the end of his career. Brett Favre started 13 games in his 1st season in GB. He was a backup his rookie year in Atlanta & was quickly traded to GB in the offseason between his rookie & sophomore seasons. GB gave up a #1 pick to get Favre. Their plan was never for him to be a backup very long & he was a starter a month into the season.

Let's look at your examples: The 1990 Giants were pre-free agency and had a backup who was stuck on the team for years & barely played in the 7 years he was on the team. The 2001 Patriots entered the season with a sophomore backup QB who threw 3 passes his rookie year and completed 1 for 6 yards. The 2017 Eagles had re-signed a former Eagle who had 1 good year with the Eagles earlier in his career & who had flopped with the Rams & had his option dropped after 1 season with the Chiefs. At the time he re-signed with Philly, he was basically Mitch Trubisky.

Yes, I'm sure, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it. Practice squad players pass through waivers, the Bills never waived Williams, players deactivated on Sundays are not on the practice squad. So, here's my proof from the 1998 media guide page 121 " PRO: A young defensive tackle who made the team as a rookie free agent a year ago...has appeared in one career game on special teams...will battle for a roster spot in preseason and looks to make a greater contribution in'98. 1997: Signed with the Bills as a rookie free agent and made the team after a strong preseason...was on the 53 man roster for all 16 games...was deactivated for every contest except one...played in his only NFL game to date vs Den. (10/26) when he saw action on the kick return team. "

Pat Williams was never on a practice squad.

Kurt Warner was never on a practice squad.

From Ralph's bio in the 1960 guide: "a young Detroit trucking and insurance executive".

That was last year.

Remember when he was the next Josh Allen? Malik Willis: The next Josh Allen? - The Stadium Wall - Two Bills Drive Edit: I can't get this to link, it's on page 334 of The Stadium Wall. Here was my response: Albany,n.y. Posted February 2, 2022 I think he's the next Bo Levi Mitchell, the QB who Canadians wanted the Bills to sign before they drafted Josh. Good luck in the CFL Malik.

Like betting it on Bills games😃

Only if the Broncos are willing to give us their 1st round pick to take Wilson off their hands. I'd rather have Wilson the soccer ball than Zach Wilson.
