My fantasy team hopes so.

I think this will most likely be Peyton's last year. I could see him pulling a Farve if he has a half way decent year and trying to go to a good team in desperate need of a half way decent QB for one last ride. But if he can't be an effective QB anymore then I think Denver with a rising defense and a young QB in the wings will dump Peyton's huge cap hit to further add and retain talent and give Brock a shot. However if Peyton turns in a good season it's going to be interesting. Denver will likely want to resign Brock to a modest short term deal to take over as the starter if Manning looks spent. But if Manning still looks like a top 10 QB then it will be very interesting to see if the Broncos try and go for it another season with Manning and let Brock walk, or do they still let Peyton walk and take their chances on a much younger but unproven QB.

Probably the most underrated and under appreciated great player of all time. He won 3 MVP's (2 during the Bird and Magic era), 12 NBA and 1 ABA All Star Games, took a horrendous Rockets team to the Finals, Won a Championship with the 76ers and was their Finals MVP, and was a 6 time NBA rebounding champion including 5 years in a row. Yet he never seems to be talked about as much as he should be. RIP 60 is too young to go, but these big guys always seem to go early sadly.

The author has a point about Brady being light years ahead of Fitz and Tyrod (Tyrod being more of an unknown but still) and still significantly better than Tanny. With the QB position being such an advantage in the modern NFL it's hard to see the Pats* not being the favorite out of the division. However the Pats* defense with the departure of their starting corners and Vince Wilfork among others on the defense no longer have a good defense. The Pats* will revert back to the team they were from 2009 to 2013 where they could score at will be also get scored on by moderately good offenses. So yes it's the Pats* and everyone else till proven otherwise simply due to the QB disparity. However if the Bills overall roster is much better than the Pats* then maybe the Bills can win in a head to head matchup and win double digit games challenging them for the division.

That play was nuts, Kiko looked like the reciever on that play. Kiko has looked pretty good, not as active and all over the field like when he was here but that's to be expected recovering from a serious injury and having a setback in camp.

It is encouraging how good the Bills played with McCoy and Watkins looking a little rusty and Dareus suspended and Graham knocked out early on defense. I did think the Colts are a bit overrated but I do think that they are a legit playoff team with Luck and some decent talent around him. Overall it's hard to see the win as anything but a positive. Let's hope they can beat the Pats* next week and keep the momentum going.

The upcoming game at home against the Pats* and the away game against the Fins will be big measuring sticks. The Pats* are the defending champs and have had the throne of the division for a long ass time. The Fins away won't be an easy challenge either. The Bills needed to survive the early schedule, but if they can bully a few wins early then it sets their season up nicely.

This wins relevance will be only be measured in the context of how the season plays out. If the team makes the playoffs then it will be a highly important win. If not it will be a nice season opening win.

Good Advanced analysis will run things back over and over again. Not sure how good PFF is. I don't see reason to panic if I am the Colts. The Colts lost to a team with a lot of talent away. They had some offensive success against a good defense. The Colts D would be a concern but I think the Bills offense is better than some give credit.

I think an OC has to get a feel for what his players can do. What the QB's strenghts and weaknesses are, who his best weapons are, and the O-lines strenghts and weaknesses are. So I take Roman's coaching effort with a grain of salt. He needs to get a feel for his players. After a few weeks I think you will see more so what his actual gameplan will be. I suspect Roman will start conservative and then slowly open up until Tyrod and the crew show their limitations.

The Pats* are like that kid you never wanted to do business with in the school yard. A kid always scheming and trying to get something for nothing even if it means being a dick and !@#$ing people over. It sucks because the whole league has to deal with this **** whereas you could at least avoid dealing with that type of kid.

Interesting to note that 3 out of the 4 Bills big D-Line contracts were re-signings. Kyle Williams and Dareus were draft choices while Hughes was a great and rare player for player trade. Only Mario was an outsider brought in. Good player development.

With Gilmore's option picked up and Dareus extended the team needs to find a way to get Nigel done. With Glenn the team can wait to see how he preforms this upcoming season before they make a decision. I have a feeling Nigel's stock is going to go way up after this season. So getting him to take a guaranteed deal now to avoid uncertainty would be a good idea. If they can get Nigel done this team will have secured 3 of it's major 4 free agents through 2016.

I don't think you could rank rookie QB's with all other NFL QB's just not a valid comparision. Thus out of the remaining non-rookie QB's who would you honestly take Tyrod over objectively? That's not saying I don't think Tyrod could be successful but he hasn't proven anything either way. It's not to say that Tyrod is the worst QB but given his NFL career so far it's hard to project him as anything other than 32.

The last couple of seasons of The League were enjoyable but had a noticable dip in quality the last couple of seasons. But considering that this is the final season and the debut was strong I think it will be a great final season. Always liked the show, very excited for fantasy football.

Roman developed the ground and pound conservative simple scheme when he first got to San Fran due to having a very good offensive line with 3 former first round picks and 2 other solid pieces on it, a good defense, a good running back in Gore, and a QB in Alex Smith who could manage a game efficiently but was limited as a playmaker and didn't have the best weapons. Roman also opened up the offense when Kap came in, they increased their down field throwing and threw in more read option plays. Rex developed the ground and pound his first few seasons in New York due to having a very good offensive line (Two studs in Mangold and Fergueson and two very good veterans in Faneca and Woody), a rookie/young QB in Sanchez, a limited amount of skill positions, and a very good running back in Thomas Jones, and a very good defense that could keep the Jets in almost any game esp if the offense wasn't turning the ball over. Good coaches build to the strengths of the talent they have. The 49ers and Jets did just that. The Bills aren't built the same way. Yes the Bills have a very good defense and solid special teams, but offensively they have much better skill position players and a great playmaker out of the backfield who can work in a variety of ways. The Bills O-line while improved isn't the juggernaut the 49ers were and the Jets were at times. So while I expect the Bills to work the running game and be conservative at times, I do think that there will be a more wide open approach to the offense at times.

Jauron was never able to develop McKelvin his first couple of years and then Chan never had a great defensive coach to help him develop. Suddenly 5 years into his career Pettine comes in moves McKelvin to the slot and coaches him up right and he became a pretty good corner. Pettine simplified the scheme for him and then built upon that, even last year before the injury McKelvin looked solid and like he was more capable of playing outside the slot. Schwartz did a good job with him improving upon what Pettine did. I hope Rex is able to develop Darby quickly, it is amazing what good coaching can do.

I think a lot of people don't care and a lot of the rest just don't see justice happening. To be honest there really isn't any justice in this. They don't have the evidence or justification to strip the Pats* of their titles (Plausible deniability) and enough people are in denial or just don't care enough to demand more from the situation. It gets me down a little bit to think such sociopath and way beyond gamesmanship like behavior to win isn't going to be punished or at least prevented in the future. But Karma is a B word and in the end it will eat away at you. The tarnished legacy will always be there if only in a vocal minority.

The NFL has been undergoing a fundamental transformation for the last 6-7 years now if not longer. When players safety and concussions became real issues in the public eye football has had to start the slow process of changing. Goodell represents an old guard among Major Sports leagues. Much like David Stern, Bud Selig, and Gary Bettman, Goodell runs the sports league in a more conservative old school manner. The less transparency the better, much more reactive than proactive, and very interested in keep the status quo. That management style was very effective before mass consumption of the internet happened. Now that everyone has cameras, can leak info to news sites, and can digitally distribute and capture correspondence you aren't going to be able to run a league in that old guard way. Your dealings are most likely going to leak, every move will be scrutinized more so than even in the 80's or 90's. Look at how much better Adam Silver and Rob Manfred have done upon bringing a more modern approach and the success they have shown early in their tenures is showing just how outdated the old guards approach was, even Bettman has shown some signs of modernizing (Although he is still very incompetent if you ask me). But Goodell has stuck to that old way of thinking. He looks like an incompetent boob going from one bad cover your ass decision to another. Since day one Goodell has tried to sweep things under the rug when the targets were harder to after or in with the league and then postured a tough guy image by going after easy targets like Pac Man Jones. He hasn't made any real long term investment in the league other than trying to bully cities for stadiums, he hasn't tried to grow the game internationally in any meaningful way. Even basic competition rules only go through modest changes. And forget trying to be proactive in dealing with the player discipline issue.

I like the move of getting back Cassell. He is a known entity, game manager QB. He is also a older QB that the two younger QB's can lean on. I also don't think he is really QB2. I think they have him listed as QB2 to give Tyrod a little more confidence. EJ is a bit more of a long term threat, by listing a middling vet as the backup you give Tyrod a little more confidence at his position.

For a guy who was hurt a lot last year with nagging injuries it makes sense to have shut him down following any signs of trouble. So it's not surprising to see a few weeks off helping a guy who needed as much time as possible to heal up from consequential injuries the year before. I believe the report. Shutting him down was a good long term move as I do think it will help him go through the rigors of a season. I got Shady at pick number 22. I drafted Eddie Lacy 3rd overall for a consistent plug him in number 1 RB and then got a chance at having another top 10 back with Shady in the back end of round 2. My team hinges on Shady. IF he is a top 10 fantasy back (In a PPR league it's even more likely if he is healthy) and Lacy does what he is supposed to do and stays healthy then I will be set all year at running back.

This just confirmed all that anyone with half a brain and no bias saw. You don't destroy evidence if there is nothing suspicious going on. Also it was clear the Goodell Craft connection played a key role in the sweeping it under the rug nature of the Spygate punishment and investigation process. The Pats* built a dynasty off a great defense and an offense with a late game edge based off of cheating. The notion of the Pats* bugging locker rooms and stealing things from opponents locker rooms and even hotel rooms along with jamming headsets all give off a stench that goes far beyond illegal angles of cameras. The Pats* are a sham always have been always will be. Their coach is a Nixonian sociopath and their fan base is in far too deep to realize and admit it.

Worse but only marginally. The loss of Searcy is something that will be looked at as bigger than the team tought. Graham will play well but with McKelvin out and Darby a question mark the secondary could be hurting. The front 7 will still be a great unit and the back end of the secondary will be good and Gilmore should be a very good number 1, but beyond that who knows.

I have no issues with using a proper pronounciation for Spanish names. But to read everything in a non-Spanish accent and then suddenly interject a heavy Spanish accent just for the names or specific things seems a bit of a douche thing to do. And yeah I would bang, she isn't hot but very sexable.

I like how the author at the end of the video says that Rex didn't pay the QB position attention when he was with the Jets. They drafted Mark Sanchez 5th overall and spent years developing him, they then spent a second rounder on a QB some thought was the best in that weak draft class in Geno. In year one with the Bills Rex didn't have a first rounder and no QB worth anything hits free agency. They brought in both Tyrod and traded for Cassell both options to EJ. Considering what was out there in the trade and free agency market it wasn't a complete ingnore of the QB position. Maybe had the Bills had pick 19 they could have traded for Foles but without that pick what were their legit options?
