May Day 10

the new format is designed to limit the power of the weak division winners as they will be seeded differently and not have a home game. If anything, how the NFC has shaken out will strengthen opinions in favor of the new format. NFC would be Seattle - bye and Home field Green Bay Dallas Arizona Detroit Philadelphia Carolina So Carolina would be @ Green Bay to start the playoffs, if they won, would need to go to Seattle. Philadelphia, who had a better record than Carolina would have gotten in and played Dallas. Arizona would have hosted Detroit. Sounds fair to me. AFC would have been New England - Bye and Home Field Denver Pittsburgh Indianapolis Cincinnati Baltimore Houston (I think) Wouldnt have made too much difference in the AFC, really. Other than letting Houston in and taking the bye from Denver.

I think it's the perfect match. The man can go toe to toe with belichick no matter the talent gap. Probably will want to embarrass the jets. Knows the dolphins. He is a players coach which they may need right now. The fans here will love him as he will bleed buffalo blue and red every second he is head coach. I know he had a big mouth but it seems like he has grown a lot. I think with any success and his bluster, the fans of the bills will eat it up and love the man. He has the feel of a guy who can make a 10 year run somewhere and be a hof coach. I think he was the victim of awful personnel decisions in nyc

come on. you guys have seen Manuel. The guy has almost zero control or touch over his throws. Nobody can coach that. Not to mention he was doing a good job getting receivers hurt.

yeah. Not so sure I like hearing that they are taking this "approach".

I have seen a ton of live music/acts. Including big time acts I can only think of 1 guy who commands the stage better and that is buddy guy. I know it sounds really extreme but the man was just magnetic on stage. People may casually and socially go to the elmwood lounge, Thursday in the square, or even a tent party at a Friday night bison game and get completely drawn in and enveloped by the show. Ive seen it happen a lot. That's how I was introduced to Lance Diamond. The man was born to entertain people, albeit mostly in our little society here in wny. He did it so well. So often. For such a long period of time. RIP

sounds like some serious posturing for a deal with St Louis at this point. I hope Pegula takes into account the short shelf-life of some of these stadiums when planning the new Buffalo stadium. Need something built to last and upgradeable. IMO the Rams belong in Los Angeles. Still kind of awkward in St Louis for me. If St Louis does lose the team, Im sure they will be given the opportunity to provide a stadium for expansion

Sad to hear. Sounds like a great guy. I didn't care for his style though on sportcenter.

I can't disagree with any of it

Wow. Some bombs going back and forth. Nice job with this hire

Last I heard/knew (10 years ago), Purdy would just handle the lower level "slam dunk" type of contract negotiations. While it was overdorfs job to chase peters, p williams, greer, winfield, byrd etc out.

I keep hearing all these superlatives for brandon and how many contacts he has, well connected, etc... yet he us clueless on bill polian... a hall of fame executive?

Did he edit out the parts about buddy ryan and the parts about targeting blacks vs hispanics?

Who knows who added that. You would think the bills negotiating stance was short term, easier buyout, more money for stadium improvements, while the county and state were pulling the other way. I'm sure the county would have loved to make the lease a 19 billion dollar buyout It doesn't seem like a climate to hire a head coachJust had a bit of turmoil, hete is a gm we may have tried to show the door 3 days ago and some marketing guy wHo you will have to deal with every day. But you will report to me. We may or may not be hiring a "football czar" who will be empowered to change everything, including your employment. I was hoping that pegula had a clear plan worked out since October and even earlier that would have moved swiftly and deliberately Also the lack of qb and 1st rounder are very bad

Ugh. Well at least we have brandon.

... because it has worked out wonderfully so far

Kelly. Spiller watkins goodwin. Oh my

I still don't understand why brandon needs to be involved.

I'm disappointed that a new team president wasn't introduced monday. Would have been a prime opportunity to be proactive and build the football program correctly from the top down. New president could have been proactive on marrone and if he wasn't his guy he would be here for the coach and gm search. IF I had to bet. We won't see any big changed happen. Schwartz will be slid over to hc and we can buckle up for the next round of failure. Schwartz will get fired or quit... and all this organizatons problems at the tice will be pinned on him, and we will enter yet another round of fail.

Yup. "New start" 2 years ago and now it's a disfunctional rubble. Qb quits. Hand picked head coach quits. Qb situation is worse off than when ralph "stepped aside" Can't imagine our upcoming fa to eager to re-sign

Sweep the front office. It's not even a little smoke anymore. It's a forest fire

Seems to me a large factor must have been the disfunction between marrone and front office. The preseason reports about lifers, training staff etc... the shouting match (es). The selection of words during the season and the recent pc

Is brandon going to be conducting this coach search too?

Who hired him?

I'm a briles guy

The qb and coach voluntarily say thanks but no thanks. Can anything else scream louder this front office needs to be cleansed? come on.
