  1. What prior QBs at a school did in the NFL has nothing to do with the latest QB. How many NFL franchise QBs came from Wyoming prior to Josh?
  2. She was 85 when the game started😄
  3. We're not playing a divisional opponent next week. Before last week I wanted both NE & Miami out since a divisional opponent knows you better and can be your toughest playoff opponent regardless of record. We fans got complacent after blowing out NE last year and forgot just how tough a team that knows you can make things.
  4. Damar is staying home & watching on TV.
  5. This is similar to Bill Belichick who pronounces his father's name differently than how his name is currently pronounced. The discussion starts around the 30 second mark in the video.
  6. When I see stuff like this, it is assuming that Tua is done & will be retiring. That's really a stretch right now. If 2 weeks from now Tua announces his retirement, this makes sense, but right now it's premature.
  7. He's real and he's spectacular! He's a good fit in Shanhan's offense and that's all that really matters.
  8. At 24-0 I switched to the season premier of Your Honor on Showtime On Demand. Fortunately it ended before the Jags 2nd TD & I was able to watch the rest of the game. i
  9. I'd fire Staley in the locker room and put him on a separate plane home. i
  10. If SF can get a conditional 1st in the 2024 draft they should trade Lance.
  11. Time for a Bills fan to crash through that table & end this nonsense. Unless Tua retires Brady has no business going to the Dolphins.
  12. Let's remember that for 3 years his backup was RGIII. I'm sure they have had lots of talks about how a once promising career was derailed by playing injured & making the injury worse. Nobody wants to repeat what happened to RGIII, especially someone without any long term contract with guarantees.
  13. A good example of putting numbers up by default is when we had Robert Foster in Josh's rookie year putting up decent numbers. Whenever I see someone who says that Josh sucked as a rookie, I point out how even as a rookie Josh was making his WRs look better. That's one of the reasons I was sold on Josh long before the people wedded to stats were. Even when he was completing passes in the 50% range (with bad WRs & bad O-Line), the talent was visually there.
  14. When you miss almost 30% of the games the last 2 seasons, it's tough to negotiate a long term contract. The franchise tag may be the only way to go for both sides.
  15. OBJ & Darryl Talley should travel together.
  16. To those serious about going: If you plan on driving on gameday, it's going to be tough getting parking anywhere near the stadium. The cheapest I found was $150 in a hotel garage about 0.3 miles away. Stadium parking is almost unavailable & the few spots I've seen are asking in the thousands. Anyway, here's a link to the $150 parking, it may be the only "reasonably" priced parking. The last time I parked near the Super Bowl site I parked about 5 miles from Met-Life and got shuttle bused to the game. The price was $105 & that indexes up to $130 in today's $s. https://www.groupon.com/tpis/deals/dee53753-f4b8-4f74-9ae8-08c3e932330c/booking?option_id=9f909c45-700b-41e1-8e54-b5939b9e0765 Imagine being in the stadium when the Bills win their 1st Super Bowl-PRICELESS!
  17. Gregg Rosenthal's track record on Bills moves in the early years of the Bills current management is pretty bad. Ironically he picked the best coaching hire of 2017 as the guy the Bills didn't want. Never trust a guy named Gregg who spells his name with 3 Gs. Here is his take on the Bills being losers when they drafted Josh: https://www.nfl.com/news/2018-nfl-draft-debrief-winners-and-losers-from-round-1-0ap3000000929261 Losers Buffalo Bills: The Billstraded out of their No. 10 overall pick a year ago, passing on the chance to draft Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson in favor of amassing draft capital. This season, the Billsused significant draft capital to trade up for quarterback Josh Allen (moving from 12th overall to seventh). The kids would call that hustling backward, especially when Allen has an uphill climb just to surpass previous Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor's level of production. Bills fans will point to this being the first draft for GM Brandon Beane, who was hired last May, but that only emphasizes how tricky it is to come up with a cohesive roster when the GM and coach are always in flux. Allen could prove his skeptics wrong, and his athleticism is unquestionable, but Josh Rosen has clearly displayed a more obvious NFL skill set. Allen is reminiscent of a souped-up version of another Bills first-round quarterback: J.P. Losman, a player with accuracy issues who was a star in the pre-draft season because of his measurables. Losman was taken 22nd overall in the 2004 NFL Draft and proceeded to compile a 10-23 record in Buffalo. Give Beane some credit for his conviction in Allen and talented all-around linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (taken by the Bills at No. 16 overall), who should be a tackle machine in coach Sean McDermott's system. I hope I'm wrong about Allen, because a happy Bills fan base makes for a better NFL.
  18. 3 GMs on seats hotter than Satan's throne and one who already "stepped down to focus on his health".
  19. There have been plenty of great rebuilds in sports. In football they usually come with drafting the right QB.
  20. This doesn't need to happen. $44 million for 2 WRs is too much to pay. Diggs was a #1 WR when he got here. Judging from Pro Bowl appearances is pretty lame.
  21. Anyone who wants to know the context should go to the 7:10 point in this attachment. https://www.google.com/search?q=Xach+wilson+on+2023+QBs+on+Jets+video&oq=Xach+wilson+on+2023+QBs+on+Jets+video&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i10i160l2.28164j0j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:50dbdcde,vid:cS79eO_iDa8
  22. If the Jets trade him, they take an $11 million cap hit. Also I doubt the team that trades for him wants the risk of having to pay his 2024 guarantees (over $5 million) without just compensation from the Jets. My guess is the only way he's traded is if the Jets agree to pay his 2023 roster bonus & then agree to send the team that trades for him a 2nd or 3rd round pick, similar to when Houston traded Osweiler to Cleveland.
  23. I think he'll get another year before any decision to cut or keep is made. When someone posted the Josh Allen comparison, I looked up his size & couldn't stop laughing. Then I posted in the thread: more like the next Bo Levi Mitchell, the CFL QB that some people wanted the Bills to sign before Josh was drafted.
  24. I've only bet against the Bills once-I knew the Bills would be resting their starters in the 2019 season finale against the Jets and bet the Jets on the money line in a game the Bills were favored.
