Albany,n.y.

Actually, it makes no sense to have games in February there. The only team even remotely north is in Utah. The league is not designed to be a major league. The cities you mention don't want minor league teams playing in the dead of winter. The AAF only has 2 teams in NFL cities for a good reason-they're trying to play in places without pro football. Putting teams in NFL cities is what will kill the new XFL. The only XFL city without an NFL team is St. Louis.

You can't be serious. Vlad was a healthy inactive every week by the end of the season and has no chance of being retained, especially with Castillo gone.

That's actually a pretty good wage for someone trying to hang on to a dream. It's got to be tons better than Arenaball salaries.

More likely scenario: Bills stay at 9 & take a WR or OL, then they will trade UP back into the 1st round to take whichever of the 2 positions they didn't take at 9. A much more likely scenario than Beane, who traded up twice last year in the 1st round, trading down and missing on a blue chipper at 9. So yes, the Bills will end up with 2 1st rounders.

How many Josh Allens are there who play football? The Bills should just claim the rights to all of them.

Here's what it said under Polian's bio in the 1986 media guide while Hank Bullough was still the coach "Polian joined the Bills in August of 1984 after working one year as player personnel director of the USFL Chicago Blitz. In Chicago, Polian was associated with head coach Marv Levy, with whom he had previously worked in both Montreal of the Canadian League, as a U.S. scout during the 1976-77 seasons, and Kansas City, as a pro scout from 1978-82." The 1987 media guide had a very similar paragraph, changing the wording slightly to reflect Marv was now the Bills coach: "Polian joined the Bills in August, 1984 after working one year as player personnel director of the USFL Chicago Blitz. In Chicago, Polian worked closely with Buffalo's present head coach Marv Levy, who was coach of the Blitz at the time/ Polian's association with Levy goes back to 1976 when he was a U.S. scout for the Montreal Alouettes during Levy's tenure with the club. He later assisted Levy as a pro scout in Kansas City from 1978-82."

One game when Tampa played the Giants & the Giants were in victory formation he had his D linemen go over the line & tackle Eli Manning. He said afterwards that the game wasn't over. The Giants were smoking hot after he pulled that stunt. Right then I said he wasn't NFL head coaching material.

Before Spurrier went on to become one of the biggest names in college coaching he was the coach of the USFL's Tampa Bay Bandits. When the USFL folded I wanted the Bills to fire Hank Bullough & hire Spurrier. That was before I read the 1986 media guide where it stated in Bill Polian's bio his close ties with Marv Levy. Anyone who read that bio knew that it was only a matter of time before Marv was going to come in & replace Bullough. I wonder if Bullough ever read it & realized he was dead coach walking.

9+ years ago I went to a UFL game where he was the head coach of the NY Sentinels. The game was 11/12/09 and was played in Hartford Ct. One player from that game went back to the NFL and is still playing -Falcons K Matt Bryant. So, if I was crazy enough to go to a UFL game, you know I'll be watching Saturday night.

He was watching an old episode of SCTV and got inspired seeing them toss TVs out of windows at the start of each episode.

It's not always a smart move. In fact, it's a pretty dumb move when you trade away the rights to a franchise changing player. Give me a superstar over a bunch of bums every day. If you think trading up isn't smart than why have so many GMs traded up for their QBs the last 3 drafts? You think you're smarter than the majority of NFL GMs-GET REAL.

I'll make one prediction: Trade up from their 2nd pick either into the bottom of the 1st or top of the 2nd.

What are you thinking? Kelly went out with around 7 minutes left in the 2nd quarter & never played again in the game. As far as the OP's question. Reich entered the game with the score 15-7 & the drive concluded with A FG to make it 15-10. With the score ending up 52-17, that means the Cowboys outscored the Bills 35-10 AFTER Reich came in, so the answer is to his ? is NO (or more emphatic if there were no censors)

I've been to 6 Super Bowls, the Bills 4 in the 90's, XLVIII and 50. It's much better being there than watching on TV and I can't pick one to exclude. If I had to pick my favorite it was XXV because it was my 1st, the Bills were in it until the end and I was so excited to see the Bills in the Super Bowl. They all have high points: XXVI-Minnesota was amazing. They had greeters at the airport and continuous bus service from the motels to downtown Minneapolis & St. Paul. St Paul had the ice palace & lots of good stuff to do. Minneapolis also had the stadium opened the day before so we could see the place & get all our Super Bowl souvenirs the day before the game. XXVII was in Pasedena. We stayed in Anaheim where we were able to get a 2 person/2 bed room for around $40/night which we split to $20 each per night, add in the cheap flights to LA, LA beaches, Disneyland etc & it was a great 3 days. That Super Bowl came in the cheapest, around $750 for everything because my friend Petrino won the Bills lottery and we got the tickets at face value. Atlanta was probably the least interesting of the Bills 4 Super Bowl cities. We stayed in a pretty run down motel in Marietta. When we lost I kinda knew the run was over. It was another 20 years before I'd attend another Super Bowl. I just couldn't resist going to a Super Bowl that I could drive down to in less than 2.5 hours, waking up in my own house the morning of the game. An added bonus was that since it was in a cold weather city, the corporate people didn't want to sit outside which drove the ticket prices on the secondary market to the lowest prices in years. As far as the game itself, it was a blowout that I loved seeing. I had picked the Seahawks to win it all in a playoff pool that I entered for $10 and I would win $300 if Seattle won. So with each score I was loving it, cheering on the Seahawks with the Seattle fans near me. My last Super Bowl, 50 was special because I went with some family members, the only one I had family with me at the game. Most of my relatives live in California's Bay area so I committed to going years before the game was played.

There's no such thing as a realistic mock draft.

Take a look at who Josh Allen was always talking to & sitting with at team meetings-It was Daboll, not Culley.

He's The Lobster, not The Rat.?

Because there is no QB prospect in this year's draft anywhere near as highly rated by the NFL scouts as Josh was in last year's draft, especially by pick 9 where the top QB or 2 will already be gone. Not only was Allen rated high by NFL scouts, but NFL draft "experts" like Dave Te Thomas and Mel Kiper had Allen as the best QB in a loaded draft class. The Bills only gave up that much for Allen because they were sold on him, doing what virtually nobody "scouting" him on the internet did-talked with him for hours getting to know his intense competitive nature & willingness to work hard & learn. If the Redskins are sold on a QB they'll be looking to move up to the top 5 ahead of NYG & Jacksonville, not giving up a lot to get the QB crumbs left at 9. I believe if the Redskins are going to go all in on a QB, they'll be willing to throw in next year's #1 to get into that top 5. Otherwise, as I believe, they'll look for a 1 year stopgap who can be a game manager like Tyrod Tylor and take a wait & see attitude on Smith's return until they know more about his long term prognosis.

Washington Jay not Raiders John.

Only for someone without a clue. Just about everyone who could read knew the schedule was backloaded with easier games in November and December when Peterman would be on the bench at best unless he had won some of the tougher games, making 3 wins a pretty stupid pick.

Only if we were ignorant fans who never saw him play like some of the morons with internet sites from their mother's basement who look only at his stats and trash him.

Take a look at what Arizona have up to move from 15 to 10 last year- a 3rd and a 5th, for a guy who was rated higher than any QB who will be there at 9 this year. The Bills had Allen rated very high, as they were trying to trade up to 5. The Redskins aren't going to draft a rookie for one year if the medical reports say Smith has a future left. 35 is the new 30 these days for QBs. They would have to be sure the guy could start from day one. It's not 2018 or 2017 for rookie QBs. At 9 they're getting a question mark at best. More likely a Locker/Ponder than a Mahomes or a Watson. You know who is most likely to be the Redskins QB next year? If I had to guess, I'd say Tyrod. He's going to come pretty cheap with incentives similar to his 1st Bills contract and if Smith is ready for 2020 Tyrod is a much better option than multiple picks on a rookie. Remember something else, Gruden has to win this year or he will most likely be fired. I doubt he wants to go through rookie growing pains with a guy who falls to 9.

There's no way a team trades mid 2nds and 3rds to move from 15 to 9. While I'm not a firm believer in the value chart, 15 to 9 should only get a low 2nd rounder. Giving every benefit of the doubt, they could get a mid 2nd to go up those 6 spots, but adding the 3rd is just way over the top.
