Albany,n.y.

Don't say that in New Orleans.

The last 2 times the Bills traded down in the 1st round they traded away Patrick Mahomes in 2017 & in 2013 used the lower 1st round pick to select EJ Manuel, but some people still are always looking to trade down. When you trade down you are buying a pig in a poke, not knowing what you're getting. I'd rather trade up for someone I believe in than trade down for who knows what. Give me quality over quantity every time.

They haven't arrived in Atlanta yet.

Still mad they left Cleveland?

Not all of us. A lot of us who were around in the AFL days will always root for the AFC team.

WRONG: Not rigged or blind. Just too chicken to make a game deciding call. It's believable, done often by refs in all sports who don't want to take the responsibility of deciding a game when a non call gives the game back to the players to decide. Look at it this way. 2 teams won the coin toss in OT. NO threw a pick & lost the game. NE won the toss and drove down the field for a TD. In both cases the players decided the game.

I don't believe in the rigged conspiracy theory. In fact, I'll go further and say anyone who believes that everything is rigged should book an appointment with a local psychiatrist. This is what I believe: The refs were chickens. They knew if they called a penalty, it basically ends the game & gives NO the victory. So they chickened out of making the call that would decide the game & instead of doing their jobs, they let the game continue as is so it was up to the players to decide the game. Was it wrong? Absolutely. You call a penalty no matter what part of the game it is if it's a penalty. However, it's not like a no call in the final minutes of games has never been done before. We've seen stuff like this for many years in the NBA & NHL, where the refs don't want to be THE deciding factor. There's an interesting part of history in Buffalo sports. I was at this game & like the rest of the fans, left in stunned silence. In April 1974 with Boston leading the 7 game playoff series 3-2, game 6 was tied with seconds to go. Jo Jo White put up a last second shot and the refs called a foul on Bob McAdoo. White hit 2 free throws and ended the Braves season. That day the refs did their jobs and Braves fans are still PO'd to this day because we all believe the refs decided the game. http://buffalobraves.blogspot.com/2009/02/1973-74-season.html Back in Buffalo for the sixth game of the series, the two teams again went back and forth. The Braves trailed by four points with 20 seconds left, but McAdoo scored two baskets, raising his total to 40, to tie it. This time it was the Celtics with the last shot, though. Jo Jo White of Boston took it and missed it, but McAdoo was called for a foul right at the buzzer by referee Darell Garretson.But was it before or after the end of play? "Jo Jo contends to this day that he was actually fouled before the buzzer," Smith said years later. What's more, if the foul came before the buzzer, shouldn't the Braves have been given the ball for one last shot?Nope. With all of the players waved away from the free-throw line, White missed the first free throw but made the next two. Just like that, the Celtics had won, 106-104, and the Braves' season was over.Boston went on to win the NBA championship over the Milwaukee Bucks. Buffalo and its 18,237 fans in the Aud that night were left waiting for next year.

When he was a rookie shortly after camp started he got scared and thought he wasn't good enough. He left camp and started to drive home. Here's the short story from Relentless page 462 July 19 (1993) "Rookie second-round draft choice John Parrella left camp and did not tell the coaching staff. He intended on driving home to Grand Island, Nebraska to see his ill father, but he stopped in Toledo, Ohio, called his father and was told to turn around and get back to camp. He arrived back in Fredonia in the evening." Here's some more info on Parrella: Parrella was cut after getting beaten out by undrafted free agent DL Ed Philion in 1994. His father was murdered in 2000. I don't know if the case was ever solved. At the Super Bowl in 1994 in Atlanta, while the Bills were losing the scoreboard showed Parrella & Corbin Lacina on the bench, they appeared to be laughing. I never heard anything in the media about that moment. I remember seeing the two of them on the scoreboard & pointed it out to Petrino.

I spotted it in the transactions in today's paper & confirmed it on the internet. He's come a long way since he almost quit the Bills. https://www.clevelandbrowns.com/team/coaches-roster/john-parrella

The best part was in Overtime when Marshawn was asked if it was true he tried to light a blunt in the Al Davis eternal flame (at 1:48) & he said yes. I'm guessing he doesn't plan on coming back for another season. He also got a lot of s##t from Maher & Frank for admitting he doesn't vote (at 6:29 to the end).

I though Chan was a horrible head coach. He won 1/3 of the games he coached. He didn't trust his FG kicker. The day he punted from the opponents 34 he lost me forever. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1439618-breaking-down-chan-gaileys-worst-coaching-decisions-of-the-2012-season Ever since Bills kicker Rian Lindell went 2-of-5 from 50 yards or deeper in 2010, Gailey has shown almost no confidence in his kicker to hit anything from that range. The 14-year veteran and 35-year-old kicker has tried just one kick from 50 or more yards in the past two seasons. Gailey completely mismanaged a fourth-quarter situation where he had an opportunity to take an eight-point lead with a 52-yard field goal. On 4th-and-7 from the Rams' 34-yard line, Gailey sent the field goal unit onto the field, but that's when Gailey remembered a little line he heard in The Dark Knight: Nobody panics when things go according to plan, even if the plan is horrifying. ...Introduce a little anarchy; upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos. Here's Gailey's explanation of what happened, in his own words: Yeah, we were not going to go for it there. The defense was playing good. We were going to try to pin them back. That was the reason. When they first told me when I first turned, they told me it was a 50-yard field goal instead of a 52-, 53-yard field goal. We had just dropped the snap on the extra point, so that is why I pulled them back out of there and said ‘Hey let’s let the defense try to keep them pinned back.' Gailey's ultimate reasoning is that he didn't know the spot of the ball. As the head coach, that's frightening. Perhaps not as frightening as the fact that the two-yard difference was enough to completely unravel Gailey's confidence in his kicker (or the holder, it's unclear because Gailey's good like that). But of course, nobody panics when things go according to plan, right? If the Buffalo defense holds, everything changes, right?

I have to answer the question in the present tense, not choosing guys over 50 who can't play today nor dead guys. Therefore, I'm picking Robert Woods who would re-join the team & be able to play at a higher level than of the old timers who are well past their prime.

Let's trade pick 9 for picks 4, 24 & 27. Considering how ridiculous it is that we're up to 3 pages answering an illogical question, we might as well dream that it's like Draft Day the movie and make the trade as absurd as possible.

Why do some people still think the Raiders are looking to replace Carr? After a rough start he went 10 straight games without an INT before throwing a couple in the season finale. There's no way a QB will be sitting at 9 who will ever be better than Carr in this bad QB year.

“It would be like drafting a guy you have a third-round grade on in the first round out of a need or because you don't want somebody else to get him. Well, now the expectations in our building, in the locker room, the media, the fans, is, ‘Wow, this guy's a first-round pick. I'm expecting him to be like all first-rounders.’ When in reality (if he’s not), it's not his fault. He's going to have a hard time. You're setting him up to fail when you do that, and that's the thing that can happen in free agency. Sounds a lot like Nix/Whaley when they drafted EJ Manuel.

Not my theory. I was quoting HOF coach Bill Parcells. I'm grading you an F for your lack of knowledge that I was quoting coach Parcells. You also get an F for not realizing that a 15-1 team has more talent than a 1-15 team.

You are what your record says you are.

When the Eagles lose today and Foles looks ordinary, all the talk will stop & Foles will be looking for next season elsewhere. Most likely in this order: Giants, Jaguars, Dolphins or Redskins.

Interesting obscure fact: His father in law is former NFL coach Mike Sherman. He gave him his 1st NFL job when he was OC of Miami in 2012.

I don't care who it is but I prefer a low profile team. The lower the profile, the lower the price of Super Bowl tickets. A team like Dallas drives up the prices. I went to the Bills 4 losses & as long as I'm physically capable of going, I want to be there for the win.

Who would after working with the guy. He's been on 2 Hard Knocks & both times Gregg came off as the biggest jerk on the show.

I hear it's between Kitchens & Stefanski. Gregg isn't even mentioned in the latest rumors. It's a good thing he had so many offers before coming to Cleveland because he's going to need some this offseason. https://www.wkyc.com/article/sports/nfl/browns/browns-coaching-search-reportedly-down-to-freddie-kitchens-kevin-stefanski/95-3b55912b-64dd-4300-a971-047e08cf9452

Imagine if the Patriots had an offensive minded head coach instead of a defensive minded head coach: Brady's development never would have been stunted with all the OC changes through the years.
