Albany,n.y.

I've been to 281 NFL games including 264 Bills games. I have 2 big regrets as a football fan. 1) I never went to a Bills game at the Rockpile (I once went to a Bisons game there in the early 1980s). I was in Fredonia the final 2 seasons of the Rockpile. The reason was I had heard how bad the area was & was afraid my new car wouldn't make it out alive. In 1978 I worked the Erie County reval and spent about a month working in the neighborhood and saw how stupid my fears were. 2) I lived only about 50-60 miles from the Meadowlands in 1985 and didn't go to the final USFL game. I just didn't want to drive to NJ on a rainy day & have always regretted not going to that historic final USFL championship game.

Lovie is the only one hired by his team who was over 60 at the time he was named HC. None of the others compare with a 64 year old whose last HC job was when he was in his early 50s. It's not like they'd be bringing back a guy like Bill Cowher. As far as the other notable coaches, here are their ages when each was hired by his team: Carroll 58 going on 59; Belichick 48; Reid 55; Harbaugh 45 going on 46; McCarthy 56 going on 57.

Why waste a vote on Josh-he will be ineligible to play in the Pro Bowl. Voters want their votes to count.

I had a good Thanksgiving week, two family dinners on 2 different days, Warriors & 49ers games. Then I got home & I'm Covid positive.

Remember those Gatorade Be Like Mike ads with people dreaming of being like Michael Jordan? Well Baker has chosen 17 as his number with the Rams. Mayfield must be thinking: "Like Josh, If I could be like Josh"

Baker probably wanted to go there but he's now singing "I Love L.A."

Why are you surprised? They couldn't get him. The trade deadline is passed & they were way below the Rams on the waiver list.

If you go back & look at the members of the media who trashed the Bills for taking Allen, almost all of them were those who had Rosen as the top QB of the draft. They sounded offended that the Bills had the gall to think they knew more than these media "experts" .

4th time with the 49ers.

How exactly did the Browns do him dirty? He was mediocre & they upgraded. If anything it's all on Mayfield. When the Browns got Watson, a smart player would have realized that Watson was getting suspended & his best opportunity would be to win the starting job in an offense he already knows, perform well enough to boost his market value & be a good soldier playing at least half the season. Instead Baker immediately went into child mode & demanded to be traded. Now when he loses his starting job he asks for his release. Baker was & is the problem all along. Your post is similar to the ones who claim the Bills did EJ & JP dirty when in reality these guys didn't have the talent to start in the NFL. It seems that to some of you, it's always the team's fault, never the mediocre to bad QBs fault. Until a team has the franchise QB, their current QB is always eligible to be replaced. That's the reality of the NFL. Baker, EJ, JP and the rest weren't good enough. Nobody but themselves did these players wrong.

I endured watching the game on a 3" screen inches from my face & never threw the phone. For the record I signed up for the NFL+ 7 day trial with the full intention of subscribing, but the experience was so bad I immediately cancelled after the game.

Only on ABC in Buffalo.

No more pressure to win than the opponent. Now imagine if Detroit ever gets in the pressure of being in their 1st Super Bowl in the history of the game would be an enormous weight on their shoulders-NOT. The players are thinking about the game they're playing in, not about how long it's been that the team hasn't been in the Super Bowl, which for just about everyone is throughout their lifetimes.

Considering that Darnold got 3 years, I think they'll give Zach Wilson one more season after this one, but I wouldn't be surprised if they signed a veteran who has starting experience to replace Flacco.

The WFAN hosts & callers have been brutal.

I hope he's being compensated & it's not some corporation getting all the money using his name for free. Judging from what the o-line usually gets for Christmas, I'm sure he'll get something pretty nice from Josh.

The good news for Denver fans is the new ownership will clean house at the end of the season. The bad news is the current management ****** them for years with the trade & contract extension for Russell Wilson. They're stuck with him for the next 2 years & possibly the next 4 unless they want to have no $ on their cap. Because SF is going to finish too high, SF's 1st round pick for Chubb from Miami is going to make it tough for Denver to draft a franchise QB who would be on a rookie contract & just be able to bury Russ on the bench for a few seasons until his dead cap #s come down.

Hackett wins in the battle for worst NFL head coach as Raiders win in OT for Coach McDaniels.

I heard the same rumor but it was the coach's wife. Who really knows since most if not all of the ones who know the truth are dead.

I remember back in spring 2018 some posters expecting AJ to be the Bills long term answer at QB.

Chubb: 16 carries, 30 yards.

Why isn't McDermott the guide? Does Josh have to do everything around there?

The Bills traded a player who had become useless to them for Hines. Maybe they figured they could upgrade the punt return game with Hines & really didn't ever plan to use him much at RB-sort of like another player listed as a RB who never plays RB, Taiwan Jones.

Out of curiosity I have this question: How do the people in WNY who are buying tickets plan on getting to Detroit when so many roads are shut down?

Make sure you know the Cleveland stations too.
