Albany,n.y.

I'm watching the Jets @ NE with a lot of interest tomorrow. I bet NE to cover a 7 point spread at -110 & then I took a small teaser on NE -19 at +380. Obviously I think it's going to be a blowout & history says when Belichick is blowing out a divisional opponent he doesn't ease up on the scoring. The Patriots won the 1st game at Met-Life by 19 so I'm looking for at least one more point with the game in NE. I would like to watch the Giants too, to see how Darnold's return to NJ turns out, but it's on the same time and I don't have any $ riding on that game. It's a pretty weird situation in Carolina-they already guaranteed Darnold $18,858,000 for 2022 & if he bombs they may have to eat it. If they pay him & release him he could end up as our backup-Josh's buddy & a former Carolina Panther. That's 2 things in his favor.

I remember Drew Bledsoe intentionally throwing it away out of bounds on 4th down when he was with the Bills.

I'd take Tyrod over Tua to hold down the fort. Tyrod should be getting close to returning.

Would you take Tua if you were Houston's GM? I wouldn't. If Houston takes Tua, their GM is worse than O'Brien

There's no such thing as a perfect drafting GM. HOFer Bill Polian, who was GM from 1986-1992 had the following high draft choices during his time as Bills GM: 1st round: Ronnie Harmon 2nd round: Roland Mitchell, James Patton 3rd round: Leonard Burton, David Brandon, Bernard Ford, Darryl Wren

It's one play in a game the Ravens won by 34-6 & controlled the entire 60 minutes. You are so clueless there's no point in responding to any of your stupid posts after this response.

Then you are clueless. The gameplan was to run against the Chargers weak run defense, Baltimore ran for 187 yards including 51 by Lamar Jackson. He had no need to throw for big yardage. He hit 70% of his passes. They scored 34 points. Go take your lame use of stats to try to prove a ridiculous point because you don't like Jackson for whatever lame reason you have and learn how to watch football because it's pretty obvious you have no clue what you're watching.

This post is what happens when someone looks at stats instead of watching the game. Stats are for losers! Anyone who watched the games Lamar Jackson played in knows that the above post is ridiculously stupid.

Taking the wrong QB in the 1st round is extremely costly. It usually means the coach loses his job. The team that makes the right choice usually goes on to be a Super Bowl contender while the team making the wrong choice ends up in contention for a top 10 draft choice. There are a lot of examples where a team picked a QB in the 1st round & the team that picked the next available QB got the franchise QB while the 1st team drafted a mediocrity or a bust. The two you mentioned are prime examples. The LAC are way ahead of Miami & the Bills are on a different planet than the grounded Jets. Add Chicago to the scrap heap (the team owned by Aaron Rodgers) who picked our own Mitch Trubisky & the next QB taken in that draft was KC's Mahomes.

McDermott's 2nd season was all about developing Josh Allen. The record was irrelevant. Flores isn't developing anyone & the owner wants Watson, not Tua if Watson remains a free man in 2022. If Miami wins 4 or fewer games he & the GM will be out on the street.

It's not on ABC nationally.

That was after he padded his stats on the game tying drive. Going into that drive his completion % was in the 30s. That's Gary Marangi territory. Baker is nowhere near that. Right now Josh & Lamar are pretty close as the top guys with Baker way behind & Darnold in a different time zone. When I was watching Carolina on the bonus coverage on Fox after the Giants game ended all I could think of is with every down Carolina is regretting giving Darnold that 5th year option which is guaranteed & will hurt their cap next year. Basically they're stuck with a bad QB. The only good thing about Darnold is he's not Josh Rosen level of bad.

Combine that with tossing water on someone earlier this season. It seems like every week he's doing something stupid that says "Look at me!"

I think the kid's problem is a massive inferiority complex. His father is a former MLB player. His brother is one of the NFLs top players & he's JAG. I wouldn't be surprised if Patrick has constantly put him down & he is acting out. One of my college roomates ended up being a big TV executive. He would always put down his brother calling him No Personality among other put downs. I lost track of him before he became semi-famous so I don't know how his brother handled his success, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a lot of animosity between them.

Jacksonville sports headline: Wright On The Money

Again

The best line I heard this morning on the radio regarding the Jaguars game: They only time I've heard the name Josh Allen this morning is in a preview of the Bills/Titans game tomorrow night.

Whoever made the decision to draft Tua over Herbert shouldn't have a job in the NFL.

I got a lot of heat from the Brohm supporters when I tried to explain that there was no way that our management at the time was capable of outsmarting the best GMs in the league by signing a guy off GB's practice squad who they didn't even bat an eye for when he was waived before his 2nd season. My theory was that QBs are treated like gold by the NFL GMs. Teams don't release a 2nd round QB one year later and no waiver claims come in unless the film (mostly pre-season) indicates he's a bust. I said at the time how can anyone believe Russell Brandon could steal a guy with GMs like Ozzie Newsome & Bill Polian not having made a waiver claim earlier in the year. The funniest replies gave Buddy Nix the credit as if he could ever outsmart all the GMs. The closest thing to Brohm since then is Josh Rosen who up until he failed with 3 or 4 teams, his die hards still were waiting for him to emerge. The bottom line is the actions of the GMs in the league can give you a pretty good idea if a highly drafted QB is a bust when his 1st team dumps him. The ones with any potential left don't land on practice squads. The only exceptions are late round QBs or free agent QBs who can sometimes be far enough under the radar that a team can sneak him through waivers. But a 1st, 2nd or even a 3rd round QB who gets dumped within 2 years with virtually no interest around the league isn't going to be anyone's answer. I'm so glad we are light years away from fans getting excited with a QB signing off another team's practice squad.

Their coach is the only grinder.

I saw -7.5 earlier today, but either way it's a bad beat. That's why I stay away from spreads like this. The only Bills game I've lost in 6 games since legalized betting started in 2019 was a six or 6.5 spread vs the Bengals in 2019 when the Bills squandered a big lead and won by 4. Just like the Tampa bettors tonight all I needed was a field goal for the money.

He was taken with our pick, but I'd rather have Josh Allen. Truly a trade that worked out for both teams. Tampa won a Super Bowl with Vea and we will win one pretty soon with Josh.

I curse at home but usually don't at the stadium. I used to go to every home game but now I'm down to a home game & a game in NJ & sometimes Baltimore. I also used to go to a non-Bills game a year in California but haven't since 2018. One time I was in the upper deck in the early 90s & got mad & yelled out "Where's the f'n defense" I got a lot of nasty looks & comments & learned to cut out the cursing at games. I doubt I'd get that response today since the crowd has gotten a lot ruder & cruder than it was 30 years ago. There was a time in the 1988 when I was in NE & the Patriots fans started throwing beer cans at me after I stood up & cheered a sack by the Bills. I then got up looked at the security and screamed loud enough for the whole section to hear me "They're throwing beer cans at me, if one of them hits me I'll sue your f***ing stadium." They ignored me & pretty soon after I had to leave my friends & join a group of Bills fans where it was safer to sit.

It's more about geography. We will get the 4:05 games in Albany if the Bills or Jets are playing at 4 & the other team didn't have a 1:00 CBS game. In some rare cases they might even show the Patriots at 4 when neither the Jets nor Bills are available. It's usually 1) Jets, 2) Bills & a distant 3rd for NE, but this season the Jets have been so bad & the Bills so good that we're 2-0 head to head in broadcast decisons between the 2 teams. Cleveland is close enough to Buffalo to send the Browns game there when the Bills aren't playing in the afternoon. I suspect the same would apply to when the Steelers are in the same situation.

Don't you know that Josh was inaccurate? The Nicks are going to cling to his 57.7% completion percentage vs KC when they compare him unfavorably to Zach Wilson and all the other bums who can't carry Josh's jock.
