PromoTheRobot Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) The march to the 2018 Draft begins today! I assume this is going to be televised at 7:00 tonight? I know some games are not televised until a day or two later, is this the case here also? I meant to look on the DirecTV guide at home before I left this morning and forgot. Where do you live? If you get Buffalo, Rochester or Syracuse TV, you're all set. The rest of us either buy Game Pass or wait until 4am for the NFL Network replay.

If you are in the Buffalo market it will be on at 7. If you are not, then you have to find the replay on NFL Network (posted in another thread I think) or watch on NFL Game Pass (which will be live).

Mark Vader Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I have my DVR set to record the 1am replay(that's Pacific time) on NFL Network. Then I will get up early Friday morning to watch it. Once the game starts today, I am disconnecting myself from the internet, and I will be completely in the dark and spoiler free. I won't even check to see the final score. It will all be new to me tomorrow morning. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Most anticipating: 1. Sammy to Tyrod........want to see them start connecting early 2. Logan Thomas........hope he plays a lot 3. Yarbrough........need at least a third pass rusher from the DE spot in this defense 4. Safety play.......been a killer in recent seasons and with a whole new cast I look forward to seeing what they can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Buffalo News SportsVerified account @TBNSports 29m29 minutes agoMore Anquan Boldin on joining #Bills: "That's the reason I'm here, to try to win the championship. Nothing else." http://bit.ly/2vmJ3GT ....guy has immediately cast himself into a leadership and mentoring role......damn good signing IMO.............. The veteran receiver agreed to the deal Monday and was on the field for practice Tuesday. He looked like his typical self – the guy who has excelled in the league for 15 years. Right after practice, he got the whole receiver group together for a little talk, which was well-received. "Phenomenal player, in my opinion going to be a Hall-of-Fame player, so having someone like that, everything," said Jones, a rookie from East Carolina. "Soak up everything. "He just told us you’re not always going to feel the best in training camp, you’re going to be sore sometimes, you have to press through, and truly carry yourself like a professional. This is just day one with him, so fortunate to have someone like that." It also means taking on a leadership role in being an on- and off-field mentor for Buffalo's young crop of receivers such as Jones and Sammy Watkins. "Hopefully, I can help him take his game to the next level," Boldin said, referring to Watkins, whose first three seasons have been sidetracked by injuries . "But honestly that all depends on him," Boldin added. "The only thing I can do is share my experiences and give him advice about different things I've been through."

BringBackFergy Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Look forward to listening to the game (Albany NY area). Looking for: 1) Organized transition from offense to defense to ST 2) Defensive calls and communication 3) Linebackers 4) Tyrod to Sammy to get warmed up 5) No injuries.
