Albany,n.y.

I used to bring a small TV (2-3") to games back in the 1990s & 2000s. Digital TV ended that for me. The reason he & I brought our TVs was because there were no replays on the scoreboard for years.

Two really good specials were one with Bill Parcells & Bill Belichick where they meet in the Meadowlands and do an interview together and another one with him & Nick Saban. I just found "The Belichick Legacy" on YouTube but I don't have time now to watch it, but I will later:

I was going to do 14 lines, but you beat me to the punch.

What's with no radios? They used to have 2 radio broadcast so that fans could listen to the game from their seats in real time while the traditional broadcast was in synch with the TV broadcast. I used to bring a radio into the stadium & listen to it during the game when I had seasons.

That's the problem. The networks love to show places like Buffalo & Green Bay in the worst weather conditions. They don't care about the average fans in the stands, they're looking to show the shirtless guys and have the announcers yuck it up while they sit in their nice warm broadcast booth. Best way to get the coldest weather: schedule the game at night. The bathrooms will be packed at halftime. I remember games I've been to where the person next to me would disappear for a long stretch & when he got back he'd say he went in the bathroom to warm up.

What does he have up his sleeve? 2 plane tickets to the Bahamas leaving from Boston next Wednesday morning after all the 2021 season goodbyes are finished. .

The original trade was with Denver to move up to 5. 12, 22, & their 1st 2nd rounder. It was worked out before the day of the draft. It was contingent on Chubb not being there at 5 for Denver. The good news was that when that fell through and Denver picked Chubb the Bills then still had draft capital at a lower cost to move to 7. They didn't want to have to use their 2019 1st because they figured they'd be taking a step back & didn't want to give up a 2019 top 10 pick. One of the key reasons they were able to set their sights on #5 or lower was they figured one of their top 3 QBs would be there at 5. The board released to WGR before the draft had the trade to Denver & its terms on there with Josh #1, Darnold 2nd & Mayfield 3rd. The Bills were willing to trade to 5 for any of the 3 and because it was almost certain that one of those 3 would be there since the Giants were in win now mode with Manning (pretty bizare thinking with the #2 pick & an aging QB, but that's why Gettleman had to "retire" on Monday) and Cleveland wasn't drating 2 QBs, so they would be able to get a QB at 5, While they definitely liked Josh the best, they were willing to settle for Mayfield or Darnold. Fortunately the didn't have to. Really once Mayfield was picked at one, the Bills had a clear path to Josh since it was pretty well known that if Mayfield went #1, Darnold was going to the Jets. The Giants could have squeezed the Jets to trade up a spot but didn't.

If they had traded both 1sts to move up to 12, it wouldn't have fit their plan. Remember, the original trade was their 2 1sts (12 & 22) and a 2nd to move up to 5 (Denver). They were afraid that the Arizona & Tampa GMs were close friends & that Arizona would beat the Bills out for #7, so there was no way 21 & 22 for 12 was going to happen because they still wanted to trade up & they wanted to keep 22 and still get to 12 in case 22 was needed to trade up with. The Bills overpaid Tampa on the points board because they knew Arizona wanted Josh Allen & viewed them as direct competition in any trade up scenario.

I wrote him off when I saw him punt on 4th & short inside the opponent's 50 in preseason. If he's gutless in preseason, it translates into the QB sneak on 3rd & 9. Played for the punt in preseason, played for the punt in his final game.

I had futures on the Chargers this year (pushed the over 9, lost the over 10.5) and I watched more Chargers games than what I'd usually see. Staley has made some pretty bizarre decisions this season, like going for 4th down deep in his own territory, going for it on 4th down instead of kicking field goals etc. I understood early in the season when he had a kicker he didn't trust, but when they improved the position he still did the same things. It was very frustrating watching him cost a game by being so unconventional. By the time they played the Raiders I was pretty convinced I couldn't trust him to get me a 10th win & I almost expected him to blow it, which I believe he did with the crazy 4th from their own 20. .

I thought of the draft too when I saw the OP. The problem with people using analytics in player evaluation is they're applying statistics to performances that are much better understood by looking at film. The analytics people in the media predicted Josh's future with a bunch of numbers & maybe watching a few clips or remember watching some games. The Bills watched every play on film, were at at least 3 workouts (Combine, in Wyoming, in Orchard Park), had multiple meetings with him and talked to his coaches. By watching film or going to a game, they were able to put his numbers in the proper context. One of the things Beane mentioned after drafting Josh was a game played in horrible weather where Josh's statistics looked bad on paper, but on the field he willed the team to victory. Analytics without a visual review of the games is not a viable way to scout players. Unfortunately, the so called draft experts in the media who criticize a high pick without doing the due diligence that the drafting team does will never really get it. It took Schopp years to figure Josh was the real deal.

A disgruntled fan not only put a bag over his head and wrote on it Joe Judge Fan Club, but he added an empty Pepsi bottle to mock the team for its rewarding their season ticket holders with a free Pepsi at a recent game.

Bills/Packers Super Bowl rematch will be the Thursday Night opener if Rodgers stays in GB.

This is Kelly/Marino all over again. Marino put up numbers in Miami that would have been impossible in Buffalo's weather. This season was one of the worst wind/bad weather seasons that I can remember. Also the O line was a mess for most of the season. Josh's numbers on paper suffered but on the field he was great.

Unless you're talking about Lou, no, not in the NFL. He coached the Dolphins & quit.

I'm more of a Yankees fan than a Mets fan, but I'm one of the few NYers who like them both & would go to both stadiums when I was a teenager growing up in Nassau County, LI & living in Suffolk County LI in the mid 1980s. I went to opening day of the 1986 World Series when I lived down there. I got there at noon, found a guy who sold me a ticket for around $125 shortly thereafter (I had over $300 in my pocket & was willing to go that high) and had to spend the whole afternoon hanging around the outside of Shea stadium.

Thank you Jake Fromm. I knew you would come through for me.

Try this. No waiting for a commercial to finish when you go to it. The drawback is you can't rewind like Audacy. https://mytuner-radio.com/radio/wgr-550-sports-radio-404063/

I'm not sure about that since you have to give them your address. If you have an out of state address, they may not accept your application.

Maybe you're just a clown ATM.

Delusions of a mad man.

No Flag??????????????????????????????????????????????

Bad teams always find a way to get beat.

Still showing the Bills in Albany.

That's the way for Denver to complete a pass-take it out of Lock's hands. Lock does his right Josh imitation after imitating wrong Josh most of the game,
