What website did you find those numbers? I'd love to know so I can look up other markets.

 

What can I say? WHLD rocketing up from 0.1 to 0.2. That's the Sully Effect :lol:

 

As for WGR you can really see the Bills driving their fall numbers, and the Sabres to a lesser extent in the Winter.  WYRK! So Buffalo is a country town? Go figure. Growing up no one listened to country. WBUF, a 50KW FM behind WECK, a 500-watt AM in Cheektowaga? Ouch!  WBEN is a lesson how AM radio can still be viable if you actually make the effort and don't let things go to crap. (They are one of the few AM's left in the USA with big ratings.) WWKB is the example of what happens when you let things go to crap. So sad.

So I checked out training camp today. 

 

First, I hate training camp. Half these dudes out there are already limping. These injuries will pile up quickly. Baffles me every year how these guys are professional athletes and within a week of practice, they are walking like their 80 years old. 

 

You hate training camp but you go so you like hating.  Enjoy.

So glad that even though we have all those professional reporters and other observers out there tweeting non stop that we have you out there to give us the real story. 

 Well sulky put in more work than Sulky so maybe he could replace him.  Same attitude.

I'm pretty disappointed in many of you for feeding the "ittakestime" troll.  The dude is clearly out to get your goat and he's doing a great job of it.  Wise up.

 

Some trolls provide a service wearing a sign.

I wonder if John Brown coming in here and kind of feeling like “the guy” at WR has been a boost to his confidence. Sounds like he’s killing it. He really seems to be embracing this opportunity to run with the #1 WR role. 

 

Sounds like Josh Allen is killing it too. 

 

Honestly, as a long time die hard Buffalo sports fan all this positivity is making me a bit nervous.... ?

you'll get used to it.

Not familiar with his schtick so I appreciate the heads up.

Ed Oliver: 


On the depth chart at defensive tackle and earning his snaps: 

"When you've got two good guys in front of you in Jordan Phillips and Star (Lotulelei) just taking me in and coaching me up on everything possible, just giving me one little thing to work on today. That's mostly Jordan just giving me one thing every day, he asks me every day 'what's one thing you can get better at today?' and I'll tell him and go out here and most times I'll get better."

 

Quote

Mitch Morse:


On the coaching style of offensive line coach Bobby Johnson: 

"The passion for the game really, it's second to none. He loves football and he loves portraying that information, he loves relaying it and wants to see us emulate that same passion, so kind of coming out with an intensity and a purpose."

edit - not sure if those are the full interviews. They are all pretty short, but that’s what WGR has up right now. I’ll add in the full interviews when I see/find them posted

The first clip, pass to Beasley, was when Josh looked great today:  

 

Also, Allen completes 66% of his passes in 11 on 11 with not allowed to touch QB. Let’s stop acting like what I am saying is completely out of left field. 

Ok, then let’s stop pretending that it matters.  Here is a revelation: it is the third day of training camp and  none of the action thus far is realistic or necessarily predictive of what will happen in reality.  People are calling you out for your very predictable negative hot take on results so far, as they should based on your history.  You should understand  that you are the one projecting unrealistic expectations in this scenario.

Spain is really frickin good 

 

To my mind he was the best FA guard on the market. How he remained unsigned so long is a mystery. By week 4 Bills fans will be freaking out about the need to extend him on a long term deal. He is the best FA signing of the offseason.

I appreciate your observation but respectfully disagree with several takes: did you watch Josh Allen consistently climb the pocket and fire balls to his receivers — I did...consistently. The only time he struggled was with the short throws. Also — completely disagree with regards to the OLINE. It is 1000x improved from last year. Ford is a bit inconsistent but shows you all the traits of a really solid RT. IMHO. Go Bills!

To add to this, it's hard for me to believe that the media, who is pretty critical of the bills, would rant and rave about Allen if he was legitimately holding the ball too long. I wasn't at camp today, only reading tweets, but I have to believe if the media guys were impressed by Allen, it's probably a pretty good thing
