I watch all of the Stanford games and Love does have that burst to break long runs but I'm not sure he'd be as effective in the NFL. He's small and has really been bottled up this year. McCaffrey is from the same system and I believe is faster and he doesn't break the long ones much in the NFL. Anthony Johnson definitely reminds me of Eric Moulds and would be a big help to the Bills.

I was going to post and ask why he was converted to TE when the Bills are weak at WR; maybe because of speed? He seems like he would be a definite upgrade over KB at the same position, based on effort alone.

They just caught up going thru all of the postings on TBD for fan suggestions. Next they may add a WR.

IIRC that was a pick by Wade Phillips in the 1st round when he was projected as a 3rd rounder at best. Wade attended a workout and had to have him.

Anyone else experience the dumb NFL broadcast rule yesterday in the middle of the Browns/Ravens OT? For those that don't know what I'm talking about, my issue with it is probably because I have the NFL Ticket. So, the Bills game yesterday finished in just over 2.5 hours so CBS switched over to the Browns/Ravens game with about 4.5 mins left in regulation. Since the game went to OT, it wasn't finished at 1:30 PM PT (4:30 ET). So, they go back to the studio and James Brown says "due to NFL Rules & Regulations, we can't show you anymore of this game". Then, the studio crew is watching a TV off set and updating the viewers play by play and then they'd show the replay about 10 seconds later. That was the most ridiculous thing I ever saw. My understanding of the rule was, if your local team was in a late game, which was the case here I guess with the Oakland Raiders, and there was a doubleheader on the network, if the early game went over, they had to switch to the late game. Well, I was watching the Bills thru NFL Ticket and there was no other game following on the Direct-TV channel it was shown on so what's the deal? Many people watch games thru NFL Ticket and each game has its own channel so why couldn't they continue to show the Browns game? You might say "Why didn't I just switch to the channel the Browns were on?". The answer to that is since I got my first DVR, I have enjoyed so much being able to FFWD thru commercials that I never watch anything live. For the Bills game, I didn't start watching until a half hour after it began. After that, with food and bathroom breaks and doing things around the house, when I finished watching the Bills game, it was about 1.5 hours after it ended so the Browns game was over also. The CBS studio crew though continued to show highlights and jabber on for another half hour.

That's funny. However, has anybody ever seen Mickey drop a football?

She thought it was a drive-thru?

Yeah, why does it take the Bills so long to act on suggestions from this board? We've been saying that since they traded McCarron. We've also been saying they need to give Shady more touches. They finally do it today and Zingo! it works and they get a win. This board has a lot of good ideas. McBeane need to act on them sooner. Is another trade for a WR coming soon?

Yeah, since the Bills used a 1st round pick on Tony Hunter in the 1983 draft, the highest picks used on a TE have been a 2nd round pick (#61) in the 1994 draft on freakin' Lonnie Johnson and a 3rd round pick (#86) in the 2005 draft on Kevin Everett.

Optimally it would a head coach with experience on the offensive side (ex: Reid for Mahomes) but that’s where, if they’re not, hiring a good offensive coordinator and QB coach are important. From what we knew of Daboll, his prior career highlight may have been with Alabama in the 2nd half of the championship with the freshman QB. He coached TEs for New England but was he given the credit for the success of Gronk, Aaron Hernandez, etc.? I don’t believe so. His track record as an NFL OC was mediocre.

If the O-Line is incompetent as a 5-man unit, maybe they should use more bodies. I was watching one game last week (Baltimore vs Pitts?) where they showed a replay that the offense added a 6 th lineman plus a TE to pass block. The QB had all day to throw. They didn't even form a traditional pocket. It was like an impenetrable wall. Again, why do the Bills continue to run 4 wideouts on 3rd downs when the 5 man line doesn't give the QB enough time to find them? How about DiMarco in the backfield as additional protection? Allen should begin to recognize defenses more with experience so give him some more help until he can.

Actually, both transactions involving Watkins were bad. They “wasted” an additional first round pick to move up in the draft for him when they could’ve stayed where they were and drafted OBJ. Of course, we don’t know who that 2015 1st round pick would’ve been used on and whether they would’ve worked out. This regime probably would’ve got rid of them anyways.

NBA games are boring and slow? OKAY? I guess I ‘m lucky to have the Warriors as one of my local teams. They are a lot of fun to watch with their style of play. I’ve always just liked basketball but really enjoy when there’s unselfish passing. I really enjoyed watching the Larry Bird Celtics, too. I’ll admit though, in comparison, when I watch the Sacramento Kings, it’s just like 10 guys playing basketball.

I like it too. If the NFL goes to it, it may be a while. Look how long they took to add the 2 pt conversion even though the AFL had it and college football did for many years. Almost seems like if it wasn’t their original idea, the NFL owners are reluctant to accept it. Pompous egotistical $&@“#£s!!

Yes, with the time left in overtime, if Indy had the ball at the Houston 40 instead of their own 40, I would totally agree with that decision to go for it on 4th down. The failure to convert allowed Houston in one play to get in range to kick the game winning FG.

I said the same thing last week and it happened again. Blitzes coming thru untouched. I remember one play where Ivory was kept in the backfield and helped but there was still pressure. Four wide with this O-line is just stupid

Eason was never the same after facing the '85 Bears in the Super Bowl.

Are you forgetting about Davante Adams? He's their best WR. Or are you assuming Tre White holds him down? Also, don't forget about Jimmy Graham, who is a WR in a TE body.

There was an interesting observation made on NFL Primetime this week by one of their crew: when Baker Mayfield entered their last game, his teammates and the crowd were fired up. When Rosen entered the Arizona game, meh.

Brittle as a glass lightbulb

And now he goes on injured reserve with a supposed knee injury. Wonder if it's more like "ruptured ego". He left the game after that play and never returned. Have to give him credit though. At least he didn't retire after that play.
