  1. It's a shame because when he was younger Stockton was a good announcer, but it's time to retire. Voice is still good, but eyes and paying attention have left him. Diehl -- not so good, but I've heard worse.
  2. Agreed -- I certainly would have liked a 1st down more, but that way Schimdt was punting, it was better than the punt. The Bills ended up pinning the Cards deep. I will say it was a great play by Peterson
  3. Who is our short yardage back? It looks like it was EJ recently -- that's just pitiful. It's obvious that McCoy is not an effective short yardage runner. - he loses yards more than he gains in these situations. In years past we had fFed Jackson who seemed to get that yard more times than not and last year it was Karlos "i blew my career" Williams. Who this year? Obviously this is not the only problem the Bills have, but when trying to sustain a drive on 3rd & 1 or 2, it would be nice to have someone you can count on.
  4. This isn't two hand touch -- if he's playing he's gonna get hit. Dumb Statement.
  5. Living in Northern Virginia I get to see and hear alot from and about Cathy Lanier. I have always been impressed with her approach to the job and her honesty. She will do well in this job if the powers that be (i.e. Rodger the dodger) let her do her job. Unfortunately, I doubt he will. Good luck Cathy!
  6. So sorry he hear this. I did not know he was illl. One of the best and classiest people discussing sports on TV.
  7. I did ask Kim Pegula, "Can I gat a deal on Sabre's season tickets?" and she said "No" -- another Rexism
  8. You really have to ask that question. In such a publicly facing business as the NFL, each player, and for that matter employee, represents his/her team an, like it or not, his/her city! Anytime you disgrace either of those, it matters!
  9. I think two, maybe three games. The problem is the NFL teams will not give up the game day revenue. Any games you take from the pre-season will get lumped into the regular season. I like an extra bye week as someone suggested, but that is a revenue loss for the NFL.
  10. I don;t wee having a KO specialist. While you don't use that last spot when everyone is healthy, we know that injuries will occur and having added depth in the O-Line or secondary is great. 1 punter, 1 kicker - that's it.
  11. This has been a great trip down memory lane for us "experienced" Buffalo fans.
  12. I've seen Bills Games, a UB Bulls game, and countless Bison games. Lots of good memories because I did all these with my dad who is no longer with me, but I guess the best was getting some Bison autographs in 1964. They had a good team -- Cleon Jones, Choo Choo Coleman, Ron Swoboda, Ed Kranepool, ... I remember this game. The coaches said that they wanted to get a play in and it was easier to send in the QB with the play. That's horse hockey.
  13. The difference with the Sammy deal is that this particular draft class had a large number of high quality wideouts and the Bills most certainly could have had one of them staying where they were and not giving up the extra #1. This is not a knock on Watkins as I think he is a legit #1 wideout, but so far he has not shown he is the best in his draft class (that is not saying that by the end of his career he won't be, just sayinghe is not now). Sure, he was injured (multiple times) and his QBs were not very good, but that all factors into the deal. What's done is done and it's not worth complaining about, but so far the Bills would have been better off without the trade.
  14. Here is a scouting report: http://www.hustlebelt.com/2016/4/17/11311818/2016-nfl-draft-matt-johnson-highlights-bowling-green-falcons
  15. Points are the key, not yards and these numbers don't look good. Let's face it, if his last name was not Ryan, he would not be in the league.
  16. My comment to that "Who cares" -- it's a waste of time. I would say it's a waste of effort, but none of the players make an effort.
  17. The fact that OJ turned out to be a despicable human being does not diminish his accomplishments as a football player. I don;t want to see #32 being worn by anyone at Buffalo. If I recall, Buffalo has only officially retired one number and that is #12 and soon to also be #78. Other numbers are just not handed out. Keep not handing it out.
  18. IMO: Guaranteed: Gilmore Very Likely: Incognito 50/50 chance: Watkins; Dareus; Glenn Not likely: McCoy
  19. I certainly hope this is tongue in cheek. I wouldn't draft him if he fell to 19. We have already previously taken him -- his name was Aaron Maybin.
  20. Defense is bog and the D-Line is real big, but also plentiful so maybe round two. I like a LB (Jack, Lee, or Ragland - don;t think Jack will fall to the Bills), but I also like the safety from WV alot - Karl Joseph. I don't have alot of faith in Aaron Williams health and not in love with what the Bills have there. He might be a surprise and good pick for the Bills.
  21. Glad it was not the Bills moving up there. Too much to give up for what may or may not be a franchise QB. The Bills have other needs. While I love Sammy Watkins and what he brings to the table, it was not worth our next years #1 to move up to get him, given the other quality Wide outs in the draft.
