The only player they would have forewent a QB for at #1 was Barkley. If they wanted Nelson they could have had him at 4, he was drafted 6th. Also if they had taken Barkley, they wouldn't have drafted Chubb, who is nowhere near the player Barkley is. Barkley is a once in a generation RB.
-
What Cleveland should have done was to draft Barkley at #1 and take their highest rated QB left at #4. They would have been able to get either Allen, Darnold or Mayfield to go with Barkley.

It was Amtrak. Here's something from 1997 (It failed to mention the stops in Schenectady & Utica). The trains ended in the early 2000s. On one trip some guys who got on in Albany (Actually Rensselaer) created so much trouble they got kicked off in Utica on the return ride & got arrested with the cops waiting for them as we pulled into Utica., https://buffalonews.com/1997/06/28/bills-schedule-five-amtrak-express-games/ The Buffalo Bills have announced five home games for "The Buffalo Bills Express," an Amtrak train bringing fans from Eastern New York into Buffalo for Bills' home games in 1997. The games are: Aug. 31 vs. the Minnesota Vikings; Oct. 5 vs. the Detroit Lions; Oct. 26 vs. the Denver Broncos; Nov. 2 vs. the Miami Dolphins and Dec. 14 vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars. All are Sunday afternoon games beginning at 1 p.m. The train, which begins its round-trip journey in Albany at 6 a.m., will depart from Syracuse at 8:30, and Rochester at 9:50 before arriving in Amtrak's Depew station at 11. From Depew, the registered passengers will board 22 buses that will transport them directly to Rich Stadium in Orchard Park. Buses will depart from the stadium 40 minutes after the game ends. Upon arrival in Depew, the train will begin boarding for immediate departure. The cost of the round-trip tickets, as well as one game ticket in Section A-Club Level is $75. A train ticket only will cost $38.

Unless Daniel Jones improves, Brady's best choice would be the NY Giants, who can say they are going back to their original plan to let Jones sit & learn. Brady is not going to a smaller market than Boston, he'll only leave for a big city. Brady already lives part time in NYC. If his future plans are for show biz or in the sports media NY is the place for him since there are no QB openings in California.

There's no place to play one. The college stadiums are all way too small. In the 1990s there was a train that went across the state for some Bills home games (The Bills Express), starting in Rensselaer and stopping in Schenectady, Utica, Syracuse, & Rochester. It would arrive in Depew & fans would be bused to Orchard Park. There was even talk of adding a train station in OP for game day fans to arrive by train. As the Bills stopped making the playoffs, the train attendance went down to the point it was not economically feasible to continue operating it. I remember being on one of the last train rides. The train only had 2 cars. When I arrived at the Schenectady station to wait for the train nobody else was there. Eventually a few more people showed up before the train arrived, but it was pretty obvious that the Bills bandwagon had slowed quite a bit in the Capital District. We still have the 3rd biggest following behind the Giants (clearly #1) and the Jets. The good news is no matter how successful they are, the Patriots have never been able to pass the Bills in popularity in our area. That's probably because NE is in a different state so there aren't any state employee transfers from Massachusetts to Albany as there are from parts of WNY & because of SUNY & other colleges the odds are a lot better that some WNY students came here to go to school & stayed in our area while others went to college in WNY before ending up in Albany.

The interesting thing about this season, with 3 of the class of 2018 1st round QBs in the AFC East & the schedule having the East play the AFC North is that NE plays all 5 2018 1st round QBs. They'll probably make them all look pretty bad. That's what NE does to young QBs. It doesn't mean anything long-term. I guess today is a day for Bills fans to point to Darnold and laugh. Next week it will be Baker Mayfield's turn to look bad with Jackson not that far behind on the schedule. The best thing for fans to do after their 2nd year QB looks like garbage against NE is R-E-L-A-X. The 2019 Patriots may be one of the greatest Ds of all time. Fortunately, nobody has to play them every week. In what was the worst game of his Super Bowl season, Joe Namath was horrible vs the Bills. Sometimes a QB just has a bad day. Unfortunately NE's D is giving their opponent's QB his bad day every week.

The one thing in the video that the guy got wrong: It is much easier for someone in Albany to go to MetLife stadium than to New Era stadium. The drive is about half the distance and even the ticket prices aren't much different. I went to the Bills 1st 2 games in NJ. I'm going to the Eagles game this Sunday. Because of the demand, the game in Buffalo will cost me more than either of the 2 games I went to in NJ & those were both teams' home openers. You've been going to the wrong stores. Yes the big chains like Dick's (properly named) don't sell Bills stuff, but the smaller ones do. Last year I went to Crossgates & couldn't get a Josh Allen jersey at Dick's, but there was a smaller store in the mall that had the Allen jersey that I bought.

I know this won't be a popular opinion but here it goes: When I sit in the endzone & clowns like the OP pound on the back of the seat in front of them it shakes my seat, several seats away. Pound on your own seat next time instead of annoying people around you. I'm sitting in section 212 next week & I'm glad to hear that seat pounding clowns are looked down upon there.

Then bet the game when the time comes. Win the division.

Postgame: Dolphins 21 at Bills 31
Albany,n.y. replied to Do The Reich Thing's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
WRONG!!!! You are what your record says you are. The Bills have the 2nd best record in the AFC, they are better than the Colts BECAUSE THE RECORDS SAY SO. Logic 101. -
Postgame: Dolphins 21 at Bills 31

Henry Jones also ran an onside kick back for a TD in 1999. A 10 point lead is safer than a 3 point lead. If you fumble a snap you can still lose the game trying to run the clock out. 10 points guarantees they need 2 scores. Ironically the score was identical. 24-21 before the kick, 31-21 after and the final score. Here's a link to the story of the day Jones ran the onside kick in for those to young, too old or who didn't see the game in 1999. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bills-ground-cardinals/ -

Cordy Glenn at Odds With Bengals Over Concussion

Why would anyone want AJ Green at the Shawne Merriman point of his career? -
Cordy Glenn at Odds With Bengals Over Concussion
Albany,n.y. replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Why does anyone want him back? In the NFL the most important ability is availability and while Glenn has some ability it's to no avail. -
According to Mitchell Byars of the Boulder Daily Camera, Bannan was arrested on a number of charges, including first-degree assault and first-degree burglary after the shooting of a woman. The 40-year-old Bannan played 12 years in the league, with the Bills, Ravens, Broncos, Rams, and Lions. According to Boulder police, the woman was shot and transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police believe the woman and the alleged shooter know each other, but aren’t clear what led to the shooting. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/former-nfl-lineman-justin-bannan-arrested-for-attempted-murder/ar-AAIVYU6?ocid=spartandhp

Winston is playing worse than the guy he replaced at Florida State. EJ sees this and he may be thinking of un-retiring. -
We've scored TDs on 10 of 14 redzone trips??
Albany,n.y. replied to Hebert19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Here's another opportunity for me to rail against QB stats. On a recent Dan Patrick show Patrick said the Bills were winning in spite of their QB. He then cited Allen's TD/INT ratio. A TD/INT ratio is irrelevant when a team chooses to run into the endzone instead of passing. A TD drive is a TD drive no matter how it is achieved. A more important stat is # of TD drives, and their length. It doesn't mean anything if Allen tosses to a wide open Lee Smith, runs it in himself or hands off to Gore or Singletary for the TD. A TD drive is a TD drive, period. -
With Leif Larsen available, no way.
