Albany,n.y.

I was very happy the day the Bills hired Rex. Then the next day I bought the NYC newspapers & the sports pages were basically saying "Blowhard cons the Buffalo Bills" They were all over his act. Soon after I realized they were right & I should have known better. PS: Come on Jets, bring back Rex😄

Aaron Glenn who is interviewing with a lot of teams, refused to interview with NE because he knew it was a sham so they could move quickly on Vrabel. Too bad there were other guys willing to interview for a job they had no shot at. Big respect for Glenn, no respect for Leftwich.

He said Lutz's kicks were dying out while Bass was booming kicks from, I think, 55 yards out.

Codrington & Virgil both INACTIVE.

It's a contingency move. Nothing is definite, but the Bills are prepared if Codrington can't go. If Virgil has to be the returner, it's a revenge game for him since he was cut by Denver before he signed with the Bills.

Jalen Virgil has been activated from the practice squad to be the Bills returner if Codrington can't go.

It's tough to get a franchise QB when you're above .500 every year & have no desire to trade up into the top 10. It might be on the GM and owner, not necessarily the coach.

I wonder if Herbert is the 1st starting QB to throw more picks in a playoff game than the whole season?

These announcers can't add. They're down 13, they need 2 TDs with extra points. No 2 point converts needed.

One Harbaugh down, one to go.

I know it's unlikely, but wouldn't it be great if they put Kyle on the Wall Sunday. If not, they should announce he's going there next season. No need to wait for the new stadium.

Also, nobody standing in front of you the whole game. That & the fact I'm too old to handle hours in cold temps has basically ended my days of going to games in Buffalo. If I go to a game, it will have to be in the front row where I can stay seated the whole game and it has to be early in the season. The last Bills home game I went to was opening day 2021. People were standing the entire game & I couldn't take it anymore. I never really minded the traffic when I went to all the games until my late 50s, even when I had to drive back to Albany & go to work the next day.

For those too young to remember: The comeback game was blacked out because it didn't sell out. After consecutive years of playoffs, the wild card game isn't much of an attraction.

If he was responsible for Elam, I'd be willing to give up two 3rds just to get rid of him. If anyone in Tennessee sees the video, we're stuck with him.

It's gotta be at Met-Life. That's the only way they'll ever be a playoff game there.

Let's stop with the no Sammy, no Josh stuff. The Bills were originally going to trade picks 12 & 22 & a 2nd to Denver for the 5th pick. If Tampa had demanded the same trade, does anyone really believe that the Bills would have risked losing Josh? I don't.

Jimmy died.

You're way off on the odds. You have the Bills at 100/1 to win the AFC. I did what you said for 2 or 3 seasons (not this year) and I'd put down around $1,000 and the odds I got were around 4/1 to 6/1. I called it Super Bowl insurance and like most insurance plans (other than health) that are used to prevent a one-time big expense like if your transmission goes, I spent the $ and got nothing back. I gave up, but instead I just saved enough in 2024 to be able to go with what I put in the bank. Edit: I looked up the 2024 opening day odds & the Bills were +475 or 4.75/1 . $200 would have gotten you $1,150 ($950 profit + your original $200)

The last years of Ralph were brutal, and they didn't improve until Russ Brandon stopped being involved in football decisions. A bad organization can turn around if the hire the right coach & GM even with a medaling owner as shown by the Bills of the 1990s. Now eventually the owner will mess things up again (like firing Polian because he disparaged Ralph's daughter), but there can be good years even with the worst of owners. If the Raiders luck into a good coach & QB, they can win with Mark Davis, but it won't last beyond the QB's time with the team.

No matter if you think it has anything to do with race or not, the numbers look bad for the NFL. Of the 6 coaches fired this season, 3 were minorities, 50% of coaches fired. Since 2010 13 coaches have been 1 & done and 5 of the 13 were minorities (38%).

I'm waiting until the clock hits 0:00 in the AFC Championship game & then it's right to the computer. I'm torn between paying the big bucks & doing the full NFL On Location with hotel for 15-17 grand, or trying a cheaper way like spending Saturday in Houston & taking morning flight to N.O. The best hotels are all taken by travel agents & the NFL. Be careful booking a hotel in N.O. Read the reviews 1st, some are pretty dreadful.

I didn't do anything. I wanted the Bills 2nd & 3rd stringers to lose to the Patriots to hurt the Pats draft spot & by doing nothing, it worked! I'll go back to my pregame personal pizza vs Denver.

Any NFL team can turn things around with the right QB & O-line to protect him no matter who the owner is. It probably won't happen in 2025 for the Jets, but if they are bad enough, or get enough draft capital to move up, they can start to turn things around in 2026. Vrabel is going to a team that already has their QB, probably NE. No chance he joins the Jets with Rodgers & no QB of the future.

Cribbs had an interesting journey. He was disgruntled with his contract with the Bills-almost from the beginning. He had a yard bonus in his contract & during his rookie year he had a shot at getting it in the season finale & the Bills sat him as he got close in order to avoid paying the bonus (anyone who was around then knows the saying Ralph is Cheap is 100% true). Then in his 3rd season he sat out the beginning of the 1982 season, returned and before the 1983 season began signed with the USFL but played out his Bills contract in the 1983 season after signing the future USFL contract. He played all 16 games & then played the 1984 & 1985 seasons in the USFL after the Bills lost a lawsuit that tried to stop him from playing in the USFL. He got into another contract dispute in the USFL in 1985. He walked out but returned. Then as many USFL players did after the 1985 season, he go out of his contract & went (back) to the NFL. Since the Bills owned his rights, he eventually rejoined the Bills during the 1985 season. It was during his time with the Bills in 1985 that he put the prison bars on his locker as he was trying to get traded. It worked as the Bills traded him to the 49ers. For the record, Cribbs returned to the NFL in 1985 & the USFL, even though they played their last game in 1985, didn't fold until 1986 when they "won" the anti-trust lawsuit vs the NFL in the Summer of 1986 but got $1 in damages, trebled to $3. After the verdict the USFL let their remaining players sign with the NFL, but Cribbs was already back in the NFL the year before.

The Bills basically gave up a 3rd for a half season of Amari Cooper. If the Bills win the Super Bowl in part because of Cooper, nobody will deny it was worth it.
