  1. The Bills are interviewing Tee Martin to comply with the Rooney rule. I'd ask him "Why were you drafted before Tom Brady?" and see how he responds under pressure.
  2. Kingsbury talked up Rosen & Saleh talked up Darnold when they were introduced. Once they got in the building & reviewed the tapes & talked with people they sent these guys packing. Daboll will keep Jones around but I'd be shocked if he didn't bring in some competition for the starting job before camp.
  3. He said it depends. My guess is if he gets Dorsey or someone else he knows & trusts, he'll let that OC call the plays. If he settles for someone else, it will probably be based on how comfortable he is with the guy.
  4. I'm in the you can't ruin a QB group. So far, the only thing Jones & Darnold have been are coach killers, not the other way around. Darnold has ruined 2 coaches as has Jones, if Rhule didn't have such a long term expensive contract Darnold might already have another notch on his belt. Josh Rosen was never going to succeed. He himself admits that he didn't work hard enough early in his career. He mishandled himself, not the teams he was on who saw what they had in him quickly & bounced him. If by some miracle Rosen turns things around it will be because he now realizes he needs to apply himself, not because a coach came around who fixed him. Josh Allen on the other hand was the exact opposite of Rosen when he came into the NFL, working his butt off to get better. He would have succeeded with any team because he would have done what he has been doing, working with his own QB coach every offseason, along with the team's coaching staff. Now it's 6 coaches between Jones & Darnold and you're blaming the teams that drafted them. All 3 QBs you mentioned got their coach fired their rookie year. Thatis not a coincidence-it's on them, the coach killing trio.
  5. I'm sure there are KC fans overracting too & are calling for the firing of Reid & all his assistants today. If you think the Bills coaches blew it, imagine if we had blown an 18 point lead including letting the clock run out at the end of the 1st half without putting any points on the board. I've already heard someone on WFAN say KC's 2nd half was the worst coaching he's ever seen. Imagine what they're saying on KC sports radio.
  6. Daboll said in his press conference that if Graham doesn't get a head coaching job, he will be the Giants DC.
  7. Chiefs & Rams to win & cover because I bet them.
  8. Mark: Make sure he signs his contract and shows up for the press conference.
  9. Do you think golfers get tackled and hit hard after shots? They don't.
  10. Kirk Cousins got the 2018 equivalent of Josh Allen money getting what at the time was a top 2-3 QB salary compared with the rest of what the QBs were making then. I remember cringing every time I read a post advocating the Bills sign Cousins as a free agent back then. I was really hoping the Jets would sign him, but drafting Darnold was even better in ruining the Jets.
  11. Shea Tierney https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/inside-the-bills-why-josh-allen-thinks-shea-tierney-is-the-franchises-most-underpaid-employee/article_9cc56888-012c-11ec-b64c-bf2821537654.html
  12. The problem is that of the 5 QBs you mention, only Wilson is worth the money. Goff & Wentz are grossly overpaid & the teams that signed them to the deals were glad to get rid of them & put the rest of the contract on another team's payroll. Cousins has always looked better on a stat sheet than on the field, he's just an average QB if you watch him instead of looking at a piece of paper, Ryan is overpaid based on past accomplishments and is too old & worn down to be a top 10 salaried player. The big problem is teams are paying non-superstars superstar money. Of the current group of young QBs, Mahomes, Allen, Burrow & possibly Herbert are worth paying. Anyone else will be overpaid. Just look at Baltimore & Cleveland who enter this offseason with young QBs on their 5th year option. Cleveland has no idea what to do with Baker Mayfield who so far has had an up & down career. If 2022 is up, they have to pay him. If 2022 is down they have a giant hole at QB if they decide to move on. Baltimore is in an even worse spot. Lamar Jackson is good enough that they have to pay him eventually. The problem is he has regressed since his outstanding sophomore season. Because he is so popular among certain media & fans, it would be a PR nightmare not to pay him big bucks. He's worth it if you get the 2019 version of Lamar. If you get the injured & sick 2021 version you're throwing big bucks down the drain while killing your salary cap at the same time.
  13. No, the Bills need to draft 2 RBs. Definitely 1 early on & another mid round RB later. Singletary is on the last year of his contract next year and unless he comes back on the cheap, he's gone after 2022. There are no other NFL RBs on the roster, so almost a total revamp needs to be done ASAP. One of the main reasons the Bills lost 6 regular season games was because there wasn't much threat of RB production. The only real threat was Josh. That is not sustainable for winning a championship. The Bills may have been within 13 seconds of advancing last week, but the seeds were planted earlier by the lack of a balanced attack that cost us home field advantage.
  14. Davis Webb should be offended they didn't call him in for an interview. How do you even compare the two? McCown: I helped Sam Darnold develop into the QB he is today. Webb: I helped Josh Allen develop into the QB he is today. Slam dunk winner & next Texans head coach should be Davis Webb!😜
  15. Dak Prescott is much more deserving of it than Joe Burrow. Burrow played twice as many games as Prescott in 2020 and had no body of work to come back to prior to his 10 game rookie year. A 2nd year player should never get the comeback award.
  16. No way! WR isn't the problem on this team. We have much more pressing needs & to trade our #1 (and a 4th that is just piling on) for another WR is foolish. Plus Metcalf is going to want a pretty big extension or you lose him in 1 year. Horrible draft capital value.
  17. I'm bitter that I won't be going to the Super Bowl, I had everything planned if the Bills won the AFC, but I'll still watch this weekend and the Super Bowl on TV.
  18. I don't drink, fool. NJ is considered part of the NY metro area and nothing you say or think will change that. Of course NJ isn't part of the city, but you are seriously being obtuse.
  19. I thought he was one of the worst head coaches ever in Denver. I'd rather have Dick Jauron.
  20. Is your name Abdiell Suero? You sure sound like him: Although the both teams operate in and represent the greater New York metropolitan area, the fact that the New York Giants and New York Jets have played in East Rutherford, N.J. for decades has been a point of contention for those whose pride resides on a certain side of the Hudson River. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/fan-sues-giants-jets-for-6-billion-demanding-both-teams-leave-new-jersey-and-play-home-games-in-new-york/
  21. They bring in a veteran & bring a late draft choice/UFA into camp to compete for the practice squad. I won't be surprised if Webb gets Shea Tierney's job as assistant QB coach because Tierney is probably joining Daboll as his QB coach. Tierney is very close with Daboll, joining him in Buffalo in 2018 from Alabama. Maybe Dorsey gets OC & Tierney gets the QBs, but that still leaves the assistant QB job open for Webb.
  22. Stop the BS! You obviously don't get the concept of a metropolitan area. Look it up Thurman. I'm a native of NYC, born in the Bronx grew up on L.I. I know that northeastern NJ is part of the NYC metropolitan area, why don't you? You can see Manhattan from East Rutherford. There are tons of people who every day commute from NJ to NYC.
  23. I'm also an ABA historian. Went to a lot of ABA games in my teens. I have a bunch of stuff published on the website "Remember the ABA". I was living in Suffolk County NY during the USFL years. My big regret is I never went to the Meadowlands for a USFL game and my biggest regret is not going to the final game, the USFL Championship played in NJ. One day I was in my car listening to a Generals/Houston Gamblers game and Jim Kelly suffered a knee injury in the 1st half. The announcers were speculating he'd be out for weeks. The 2nd half starts & Jimbo is out there still playing. That's when I learned how tough Kelly is.
  24. Hank Bullough was supposed to be the Pittsburgh Maulers head coach in 1985 but the team folded and Hank joined the Bills staff under Kay Stephenson in January 1985 instead, replaced Kay during the 1985 season & was replaced by Marv in 1986.
  25. I looked up the USFL teams through the years (I have a USFL file with newspaper & magazine clippings in an envelope and the two published USFL Guides and Registers). The final year, 1986, which was never played had the following teams: Baltimore Stars, New Jersey Generals, Orlando Renegades, Tampa Bay Bandits, Birmingham Stallions, Arizona Outlaws, Jacksonville Bulls, and Memphis Showboats. Of the teams with cities/nicknames that were gone by 1986 that the USFL will be using, the Pittsburgh Maulers played 1 season, 1984, the Michigan Panthers played in 1983 & 1984 then were folded into the Oakland Invaders for 1985 and the entire team folded before the proposed 1986 season, There was only one season of the New Orleans Breakers, 1984, for 1983 they were the Boston Breakers and played as the Portland Breakers in 1985 before folding. The Houston Gamblers played in 1984 and 1985 and for 1986 were folded into the New Jersey Generals who went to camp with both Flutie & Kelly as their QBs. Finally the Philadelphia Stars played in Philadelphia in 1983 and 1984 then moved to Baltimore and became the Baltimore Stars and were among the teams that stuck it out until the end.
