Swedesessed Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 I don't agree with this. Athletes can use their status and podiums for good like charity all the time. Why can't the use them for politics Let's just be honest: Fans only like when athletes use politics for the lies, er I mean, agendas that they the fan believes in themselves. Otherwise, they don't want it.
3putt Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 God. Browns fans. Every time I go home, we pop by a local sports bar. Last couple times I was there were Sundays, so I was in my Bills garb and they in their Browns attire. Even though we made the playoffs this year, there were lots of exchanged knowing glances and "I know how you feel, bud"'s which usually turned into talk about the Red Wings fall from grace and the Sabres just Sabre-ing. But most of those people are also OSU fans so they can suck it. :w00t: .... :beer:
JujuFish Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 The Bills, after starting 5-1, went 4-6 for the rest of the season. I think that's called "coasting in", where the, for instance, Chargers are a better team right now if you're going by recent records. Not to pile on, but Buffalo only went 2-5 against teams above .500. But that doesn't matter. They're in the playoffs and anything can happen. In fact, I think they have a decent chance to upset the Jags, despite being big underdogs. Bortles strikes me as someone who will turn the ball over a few times in his first playoff experience. I'm more worried about Fournette than anyone else, given how bad our rushing defense has been.

I'm more worried that Tolbert is going to get all McCoy's touches if Shady can't play.
WildCard Posted January 2, 2018 Author Report Posted January 2, 2018 Marvin Lews signs an extension with Cincy through 2019 Gotta admit, without all of the rumors declaring he was done, I don't think Cincy wins that game. Thanks Marvin
Huckleberry Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 Can add the cardinals to a team that needs a QB now, think any good will be around still ?
LGR4GM Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 Can add the cardinals to a team that needs a QB now, think any good will be around still ?Yes. Again 7 qbs aren't going b4 Buffalo picks
Gramps Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 Can add the cardinals to a team that needs a QB now, think any good will be around still ? Rudolph and Jackson might be around but only if Darnold and Rosen declare. IMO Browns, Giants, Jets, Cards are definites ... Broncos, Chargers, Redskins are maybes.
thewookie1 Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 Rudolph and Jackson might be around but only if Darnold and Rosen declare. IMO Browns, Giants, Jets, Cards are definites ... Broncos, Chargers, Redskins are maybes. Still I would doubt it, 7 teams may need QBs but likely only 3 will take them that early. There's a certain point where GMs will take the top DT over the 5th QB

There's a certain point where GMs will take the top DT over the 5th QB Might be like 1983 when 6 QBs went in the first. In any event, I would think Darnold, Rosen and Mayfield will be off the board when our turn comes. Edited January 3, 2018 by Gramps

Thorner Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 I don't think they are wrong, but we made the playoffs for the first time in 17 years dammit. Put us in the top 12 I've got you: http://www.sportsnet.ca/football/nfl/nfl-playoff-power-rankings-wild-card-round-edition/

Stoner Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Even then, Marino was the last picked of the six at #27. Surprising. I wouldn't have known this.
WildCard Posted January 3, 2018 Author Report Posted January 3, 2018 Surprising. I wouldn't have known this. Wanna say he had attitude/party issues.
MattPie Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) Surprising. I wouldn't have known this. I was surprised too. Also, only three of the six (Elway #1, Marino #27, and Kelly #14) had what I'd call good careers. The other guys I didn't know (although Eason did lead 86 Pats to the Superbowl (and got blown out like 154-10)). Edited January 3, 2018 by MattiPaj

Apparently the video doesn't show due to FB permissions, but here is the story on the station's website. Wanna say he had attitude/party issues. Not him, but Pitt had a drug problem at that time. He had a rough senior year with a lot of pass drops (his receivers were all high). Edited January 3, 2018 by Anordning
WildCard Posted January 3, 2018 Author Report Posted January 3, 2018 @JoeBuscaglia If the mannequin outside the locker room that usually sports the jersey combination for the coming game is correct, the #Bills are going white jersey and blue pants versus the Jaguars.

Gramps Posted January 3, 2018 Report Posted January 3, 2018 Wanna say he had attitude/party issues. Sounds like someone draft eligible this year ...
WildCard Posted January 3, 2018 Author Report Posted January 3, 2018 Sounds like someone draft eligible this year ... And look how Marino turned out.... Really was hoping for the white on whites, but whatever. Maybe it's because Jacksonville is going with the black on blacks and the NFL didn't want a color-rush thing going on
