  1. They've got a chance when the new stadium is built to do it quietly. Just leave him off the new wall.
  2. So being a bigot & an a-hole is worse than being a murderer in today's NFL. Or maybe Tampa is much more sensitive than Buffalo.
  3. Any rating that says Rob Johnson was a better Bills QB than Jim Kelly was always worthless.
  4. I'm always against QB stats. Here's another one you can toss-Completion %. It's one of the things the clowns who claim Josh was bad his 1st 2 years cling to. Well look at this week's games. Josh completed 57.7% of his passes this week in spite of the fact that he played at an MVP level. Josh ranked 26th out of 30 QB in completion percentage, behind even Zach Wilson who stunk up London. Another MVP level performance, that by Justin Herbert ranked 21st this week at 60.47. Meanwhile, Jacoby Brissett, whose Dolphins got smoked in Tampa Bay was 12th at 69.23% while getting intercepted once & sacked 3 times and Mike Glennon, whose Giants got trampled on in Dallas ranked 16th at 64% while throwing 2 picks.
  5. Well, there he goes again!
  6. It's offensive to the teams the Bills are whupping because when they play the Bills in Buffalo, they keep getting reminded that they're getting a beatdown every time the song is played after the Bills score. Let's keep offending the opponents all the way through the Super Bowl.
  7. Whatever Schneider did or didn't do has nothing to do with the fact that the team was named by a white supremacist whose intentions can only be viewed as sinister based on his racist life. Knowing the founder's history of hatred, Schneider should have folded earlier. Since the team was named by a bigot who in today's world would be driven out of ther league just like Sterling was forced to leave the NBA, the original intent has to be questioned. A general rule is err on the side of caution. That's what was done in the case of removing a name created by a known racist.
  8. Dan Schneider didn't come up with the name & the facts are he is the owner who REMOVED the name from the team. So your assertion that someone is blaming the guy for the name who removed the team name, as well as removing the original owner from the Ring of Fame and website, is totally illogical.
  9. Considering that the original owner & founder of the team was a flaming racist, I doubt he named them to honor anyone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Preston_Marshall As a result of a "gentlemen's agreement" promoted by Marshall, NFL teams did not sign black players until 1946, when two teams broke the agreement. Marshall refused to do so, claiming that integrating the team would cause the team to lose fans in the Southern United States and his team was at the time the southernmost team in the NFL.[15][16] He said that "We'll start signing Negroes when the Harlem Globetrotters start signing whites."[5] His refusal to integrate was routinely mocked by Shirley Povich, a columnist for The Washington Post, who called him "one of pro football’s greatest innovators, and its leading bigot."[17] Marshall unsuccessfully sued Povich for $200,000 after a critical article.[18] Marshall downplayed the issue of integration, saying "I am surprised that with the world on the brink of another war they are worried about whether or not a ***** is going to play for the Redskins" and doubted that "the government had the right to tell the showman how to cast the play." Marshall had a long-running feud with Redskins shareholder Harry Wismer, who favored integration.[5] In 1962, United States Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall and Attorney General of the United States Robert F. Kennedy issued an ultimatum: unless Marshall signed a black player, the government would revoke the Redskins' 30-year lease on D.C. Stadium (later known as RFK Memorial Stadium), which had been paid for by government money and was owned by the city government. [19] Marshall selected Ernie Davis, Syracuse University's All-American running back, as his top draft choice in the 1962 NFL Draft. However, Davis refused to play for the team, and was traded to the Cleveland Browns for All-Pro Bobby Mitchell, who became the first African American to play a game for the Redskins.[20] Marshall became an enthusiastic supporter of Mitchell.[3] The Redskins only had three winning seasons in the 23 years between the 1946 integration of the NFL and Marshall's death in 1969.[18][5] On a television show, Oscar Levant asked Marshall if he was anti-Semitic, to which he responded: "Oh no, I love Jews, especially when they're customers."[5] In June 2020, a statue of Marshall was removed from the grounds of RFK Stadium after it was defaced and vandalized following the George Floyd protests.[21] The same month, Marshall's name was also removed from the team's Ring of Fame at FedExField, [13] with the team also deleting all references to him on their website and removing his name from the history wall at the team’s training facility in Ashburn, Virginia.
  10. The list is all top 25 rookies rated by the writer, it is not odds of being named Defensive Rookie of the Year as the top rated player is a Center.
  11. It's a top 25 rookie list. If you open the link I responded to you'll see the list. The1st 10 or so get paragraphs & then the others are listed by the author's rating.
  12. How many games will they need before putting Spencer Brown on the list?
  13. That seems to be a common take from people who only look at his stats his 1st 2 seasons & weren't watching him play. Cowherd has said the same nonsense in the past. They think they're praising his improvement but i reality, they're showing their own ignorance. Yesterday someone posted a SI column by a guy who said Josh was approaching being a bust after 2 seasons. I went nuts on the thread because there was nothing after season 2 to think Josh was a bust.
  14. Clowns like this Nick & the other one will probably look at Josh's sub 60% completion rate today & say he's no good. What Josh did tonight was the equivalent of an NBA player shooting 3 pointers the whole game. The yards per catch was phenominal.
  15. What a hack this so called columnist is. He relies on stupid stats and I'd bet he never saw Josh play his 2nd season because it was pretty obvious to those of us who watch him every week Josh was entrenched as the Bills QB.
  16. Staley believes that in most games he has the best player on the field in Justin Herbert & he's going to put the ball in his hands & take his chances, because he believes with Herbert his chances are pretty, pretty, good.
  17. Crosby-hat trick.
  18. At the time my thoughts were anyone but Anthony Lynn. The last thing I wanted was a branch off the Rex Ryan coaching tree.
  19. Don't forget Bobby Petrino who had a short stop in Atlanta before the motorcycle incident. He makes these other guys look like Steelers coaches.
  20. Wilson forgets this isn't the NBA & tries a bounce pass.
  21. So you're telling Josh Rosen there's a chance. The Jets are who we thought they were. The way this game is going, Rosen will be playing the whole 4th quarter with a 40 point lead.
  22. I know the Bills better than any other team & have a totally opposite viewpoint. When I thik the Bills are a lock, I bet the game. I don't bet many because everything has to be right for me to bet a football game. I've only bet 6 Bills games since they legalized sports betting & the only game I lost was when Cincinnati made a game the Bills won closer than the spread. The best business decisions are the ones you have the most information about. For me that's Bills games.
  23. I go to the casino in Schenectady to bet football. I don't bet anything else at the casino. I'm very conservative in the number of bets I make in a season, but I bet decent amounts when I bet. I didn't bet anything in 2020 due to Covid. In 2019 I bet 5 Bills games & won 4 of them. I also bet futures on various win total overs & to reach the playoff. I won about $5,000 for the season. This year I'm 1 for 1 (bet the Miami game) & won $744. I also put future bets in on the LA Chargers to win 11 or more games (Over 10.5 wins) as well as over 9 wins at lower odds & the Bills to win the AFC.
  24. I get phone calls all the time from Amazon & other places telling me I bought stuff I never did, even when I don't even have an account.😄
  25. QBs who really light it up are playing from behind or in tight games & are making throws that a team well ahead won't make as often. So far this season, through 4 weeks the top 5 yardage QBs per week are 11-9, with 7 of the 11 wins in one score margin games. That means that 80% of the top 5 weekly QBs either lost the game or had to keep throwing to gain a slim victory.
