Albany,n.y.

McCoy is starting Sunday.

Here's my take on the people who don't want Josh to play even if he clears protocol: You are the same ones who didn't want Josh to start another game last season after Barkley lit up the Jets. Depending on your age either you, your father or your grandfather: Wanted Frank Reich to continue as the starter after Kelly was deemed healthy enough to play Wanted Marangi to start over Ferguson (at least until you saw Marangi play himself out of the NFL)

The Bills sell some of the club seats at face value + fees. I paid $327.40 for a $292 ticket to the Eagles game-total fees $35.40 from Ticketmaster. The tickets left in the club for Miami are listed for $286 before fees on the Bills website, so the maximum would be a little over $320/ticket. https://www1.ticketmaster.com/event/0000566BD8277523?brand=bills&artistid=805905&landing=s&camefrom=CFC_BILLS_BBC_PIP

Way too much paranoia over a guy having hip surgery. Any surgery gets you eligible for IR. I wouldn't be surprised if they draft a kicker next April & say goodbye to Gostkowski.

The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.

Come On Man! Get the facts before posting nonsense. He's having hip surgery. Do you think he's faking surgery? https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27753227/patriots-kicker-stephen-gostkowski-season-ending-hip-surgery

Did you go to one or both of the 2 games in NJ and turn on the Radio app? I thought the reason I was getting the commercial was because I had their app on while I was in NJ. If you were never there then I guess it's a commercial everyone is getting. I've got a casino 22 miles from my house if I want to bet football, I don't need to go to NJ to bet the games.

Judging from some of the posts today, I'm surprised none of the clowns have chimed in with McDermott.

Petrino & I were at the game together & a bunch of people from our agency were there because they scheduled a regional managers meeting in Batavia that day & the regional manager in Batavia got them group tickets. We were laughing at the beginning saying the managers picked the worst game to go to. Fortunately the D kept us in the game early & then the offense straightened things out.

Like every other inexperienced QB that plays against the Patriots. Maybe you can find 1 or 2 exceptions, but the majority of 1st & 2nd year QBs end up looking like fools when matched up against a Belichick defense.

Against Bill Belichick's defense. Now go to the message board of the Patriots opponents week after week & you'll see someone saying the same thing. That's because nobody does it better than Belichick & week after week, year after year he's made a career of making the opposing QB play the worst or close to the worst game of the QB's career.

Go back & watch Brett Favre at the same point in their careers. Favre played the same way. I'll take a Brett Favre career out of Josh Allen. Neither is a good measure of what's going on on the field.

I've lost faith in fans who don't watch football enough to know every QB looks bad at times & in certain games if you nitpick every throw. I wonder how many Patriots fans are worried that Brady is done because he played lousy yesterday. How about the GB fans who must be giving up on Rodgers because when it came down to the final series he couldn't get the job done. Are Jets fans giving up on Darnold because when Allen marched the bills down the field on the winning drive vs the Jets, Darnold couldn't get the job done? Did all of you who were around during Kelly's prime lose faith when he went into KC or Pittsburgh for what seemed like his annual butt kicking? My point is if you watch only 1 QB regularly, you can pretty much lose faith in him no matter who he is. They all are flawed, make what appears to be stupid decisions and do not always get the job done when needed. Do you know why? It's because they are playing against NFL defenses. Yesterday 2 of the NFL's best Ds faced off against each other & both made the opposing QB look bad. That's what happens in the NFL. We don't get to play bad Ds every week. If you start picking apart your QB when he plays one of the best Ds in the league & don't realize those guys get paid big bucks too, you don't understand the NFL. The worst of the bunch are the stat boys who don't understand why the pros look at & break down film rather than just look at a printed piece of paper.

Jim Kelly once threw 3 pick on the 1st 3 possessions of the game and the Bills won the game. We'll never know what Josh would have done at the end of the game because he was taken out with a dirty hit.

I have 2 entries & that's who I took.

2.5. 25% chance win, 75% chance lose. Basically a 1 in 4 shot. Unlikely, but not impossible.

I think C. McDermott is the only inactive whose status isn't injury related.

Greatest Eagle of all time: Glenn Frey. I doubt Jason Peters can even carry a tune. Saved Ralph & the Pegulas a lot of money

F for First Place

aI had really bad kidney stones 11 years ago. I had a couple of minor incidents with kidney stones before then, but they were never as bad. Ended up with 2 emergency room visits & 2 operations. 1st time I went to the emergency room they gave me some morphine, took some blood tests, sent me home to pass the stones & scheduled an appointment with a urologist 8 days later. 4 nights later I hadn't passed the stones, was in total agony and couldn't sleep from the pain. I called the doctor's office the following morning & was told that instead of waiting 3 more days until my appointment to go back to the emergency room. I went to ER, it turned out my kidneys had stopped functioning properly so they did an operation to put stents in to get my kidneys back to normal & scheduled another operation about a week later to surgically remove the stones because they were too big to pass. I had the 2nd operation, they kept the stents in for about a month. I missed 3 weeks of work and had to get a note from the doctor before they'd let me back at work. I had a 2 or 3 more incidents after that, but I was able to pass the stones and I haven't had any kidney stones in the past 7-8 years. I take Potassium Citrate every day & drink lemonade every day. I never found out why I had such bad stones, but I think it was caused by eye vitamins, although I could never prove it. If anyone is taking Clear Eyes with lutein and develops stones stop taking them & never take them again.

EVERY QB in the NFL plays erratically at times & if you watch every down a team plays, like many of us do with the Bills, you can always say that about your team's QB. Until a QB comes along with a 100% completion % and 0 INTS fans who watch every down will say the guy makes stupid decisions sometimes. It's the QB's & coaches' jobs to cut the bad throws down to an acceptable level, meaning they cost as few games as possible. Still they'll always be there. Even Brady has throws he wants back. One of the stats that are talked about with great QBs is their 4th quarter comebacks. Many of those comebacks are the result of something bad they did earlier in the game. A perfect QB would never have to have a 4th quarter comeback because he'd win every game wire-to-wire.

I think the coaches know Josh well enough so that they know what he'll respond to and not get offended by. One of the great coaches of all time is Bill Parcells. You can see numerous tapes of him getting on players during games, but he only gave them what he knew they could handle.

I don't think any greats would bust in a bad system. The only way a team can ruin a QB is by putting him in a situation where he gets a career threatening injury. The fact that virtually zero 1st round QB busts have blossomed with other teams when given 2nd & 3rd chances shows that the only thing that ruins a highly touted QB is his own lack of talent when facing NFL competition. The greatest coaches & the greatest systems couldn't have turned EJ & JP into decent NFL QBs.

How many games has he played this year? Yeah, let's trade for an injured 30 year old player who gets older every day. We can't even get the ball to Foster and you want to bring in another receiver?

I'm looking forward to seeing what Duke can do too. His time will come-probably when someone tries to steal him from the practice squad. However, I think Zay Jones is getting a bad rap and since none of us see what goes on in practice, I'll defer to the roster decisions the team makes.
