Albany,n.y.

Good to see we have someone here who has seen all the practices. Please do us a favor & report every day so we can know what's going on behind the scenes. In the event that you can't do that because you are not at every practice, please let the coaches, who see these players every practice, continue to make the decisions without ridicule from the peanut gallery.

Every week was a bye week for KB.

All this negativity, look at the positive side: He lasted almost twice as long in New England as Anthony Scaramucci lasted in Washington.

The NBA's Houston Rockets had a 1st round pick, Royce White, who was afraid of flying, among other anxieties. He never played for them & has bounced around (pun intended) teams in minor & foreign leagues: Before the start of his first NBA season with the Rockets in 2012, Royce wanted to take his time adjusting to NBA life because of his disorder. He did not show up on media day or the first week of training camp because he wanted the team’s permission to travel to away games on a bus — to manage his anxiety a bit better. The flying schedule in the NBA is a lot more frequent than in college, so it was going to be tough for him. Royce was quoted saying “To go from 20 to 98 flights, which is the NBA’s travel schedule, is too much exposure for someone with a phobia”. He wanted the NBA to address his condition with a policy, he tried to meet with NBA commissioner David Stern to talk more about it, but never got the meeting. The Houston Rockets did his best to accommodate him without following a certain league standard. But the situation with the Rockets never got better throughout the season. He said the Rockets were inconsistent with the agreement to help him with the anxiety disorder. Royce ended up getting suspended later in the season because the Rockets were said he was not fulfilling his contract. He never showed up for his d-league assignment because Royce says they did not allow mental health professionals there. His time with the Rockets simply did not work out. They ended up trading him to the Sixers, but he was waived before end of the season. https://www.basketballnetwork.net/the-nba-player-that-had-a-fear-of-flying/

Split with them & win the division, then sweep the playoffs & win the Super Bowl. Wild card hopes are for losers.

This reminds me of one of the funniest comments I heard about a winning team. Back in 2000 the NY Giants had the NFC's best record. Someone in the media called the Giants "the ugliest 1st seed since Martina Navratilova" The Giants won the NFC, but lost to the Ravens in the Super Bowl.

Rob Johnson is the poster boy for being injury prone. I remember a game vs the Eagles in 1999 (week 3) where the Bills were winning easily and put Rob Johnson in in the 4th quarter. I joked that Rob would get injured when he came in and all it took was 2 series before Rob left the game with an injury. To me, any player who is injury prone gets compared with Rob Johnson.

You seem to be forgetting that they've rebuilt almost the entire offensive with free agents. Added to the O-line Morse, Spain, Nsekhe, and especially reasonably priced Feliciano to the list of hits, now add WRs Smoke Brown, Beasley, the yet to be see Roberts who when ready should be a big boost to the return game, Gore as a player & mentor, finally, on defense, Murphy who is healthy & a force and I'd rate them WELL ABOVE average.

One of the reasons I felt confident betting the various over win totals that were available at the casino was because we have a pretty easy schedule. We have some pretty lousy teams yet to come: Cincinnati, Miami (2X), Denver, Washington & possibly Pittsburgh. That's 5-6 extra wins that should be added to the 1st 2 before we even get to some of the games that we're about 50-50 to win. This is a 9-10 win team at worst.

Obviously the author is one of those guys who didn't like Allen coming out of Wyoming, doesn't watch Allen play in Bills games and thinks if he calls Josh inconsistent he will have credibility with people as ignorant of the Bills current team as he is.

They didn't say it broke. Two injury prone players.

I guess his Bills debut won't happen Sunday. Starting to remind me of Rob Johnson.

Also, Indy fired the coach & GM, so if they were truly tanking like Miami, they wouldn't have cleaned house.

Actually they did. They signed Kerry Collins, who started 3 games, sucked, then got hurt, went on IR in late October & never played again. It's a myth they didn't try to get a viable NFL QB. It just didn't work out with Collins & then they were screwed because it was too late to get another potential starting QB, so they went with who was left on their roster.

I'd bet any team with 8 out of 11 new starters on offense would still need to tighten things up 2 weeks into the season before they are ready to compete with the world champions.

The thing that people forgot was the Jets had 3 suspended players on opening day. They were a mess against Cleveland because Mosley & Darnold joined the suspended guys on the inactive list. In a few weeks the Jets won't be a mess anymore. They do need to upgrade their O-line & should be seeking any means necessary to do so ASAP. However, as long as they have Gase as HC, they'll never reach their true potential.

The Bills @ NE game time/date will be announced after week 8.

This reminds me of a day at work that didn't go well in the early 1990s. We had a meeting that they sprung on me without preparation with one of our agency's lawyers & he didn't like the way I was answering the questions & went nuts on my boss after the meeting. We get back in my boss's office and he gets mad at me. I yelled back at him that I was going to the Super Bowl & I'm not going to think about work until after the game.

Great to be home for best fans. Why home game unique & special? When you drive you see all partying headed to the game. D in year 3, continuity built up, naming a bunch of players on D. Culture & attitude: 2 most important aspects people & ball. Blue collar area. Schein-loves Allen, loved pick, like what he saw. Allen: very early, bringing him along, Josh works hard & earns respect of teammates. Allen's Biggest jump, comfort. Takes time to adjust to playing NFL D's. Schein loved Smoke signing. Great vertical speed & route running. Great young man, works hard Frank Gore. Here early. Unbelievable habits. Coach has learned from him. Fire still burns Singletary day to day, great for him to learn from Gore O-line: Chemisry: Morse out preseason challenge, then gave others opportunity Kroft when he's ready they'll put him out there Continual growth. Get better. Just focused on Bengals & continue progress. On culture: continue to grow, excited on transforming mindset. Beane brought in guys who love to work. On Cin: Good explosive team, special teams great coach, go for long ball, Not where we want to be try to get better. Need better fundamentals, tackling, cut down penalties, not turning it over Define success: Trying to win the next day, Accountability to one another, don't let the other guy down. Schein: perfect answer on how they want to improve. Talked about culture & why they can make playoffs.

A player who is claimed on waivers has to report to the team that claims him. If he clears waivers he can sign with any team's practice squad. Every practice squad player is technically a free agent, free to sign with any team that wants to put him on their 53. Since he's already cleared waivers, he is not subject to a waiver claim again until he is on someone's 53 man roster. If a player is approached by another team & offered a contract he has the option of staying on his team's practice squad rather than signing with the interested team. This can happen in the case the player feels he has a future with his current team & feels the other team only wants him for a short period of time. A good example would be if the Jets wanted a QB for this week to be the backup & instead of signing Fales as they did, they wanted some practice squad QB. That QB might realize the Jets want him for 1 or 2 games until Darnold comes back & then he's gone. In that case it makes more sense to stay on his team's practice squad rather than join the Jets & PO the team he feels he has a future with.

Or to update an old Marv story: Guy went to Las Vegas in a $40,000 car and came home in a $600,000 bus.

2 more weeks and he'll have his WRs at full strength. Some of the Giants WRs didn't look that bad on Sunday & their top 2 didn't play. They have a decent O-line , I don't know where you got your idea on their line from-maybe last year, one of if not the best RB in the league to decrease pressure, a star at TE etc. If anything, as far as starting him for the rest of the season he's set up to succeed far better than most rookie QBs. The Giants offense is way ahead of their defense.

The new regime came in and drafted their own QB in the 4th round of the 2018 draft, Kyle Lauletta, cut Webb before the 2018 season & he was signed by the Jets to their practice squad. The Jets then cut Webb after this preseason & the Bills picked him up. Alex Tanney was the Giants 2nd stringer last year, Lauletta 3rd string. Then this year they drafted Jones in the 1st and Tanney beat out Lauletta for 3rd string and cut Lauletta who ended up on the Eagles practice squad.

Wise man predicted KANSAS CITY RB Shady McCoy would run for 100 yards with the BILLS. ?
