  1. A lot of teams would love to have our "failures". Many fans go on an internet diet at this time of year. One of the lessons of getting older is spending your finite emotional energy on things and people that are important. All these hot take screamers are vying for our attention by conflating every rumour into breaking news.

    Up until the draft I assume everyone who goes public with a news item, tweet or statement is lying. That maxim has served me well.

    Four more years? Good luck with that.

     

     

     

    Dear Aaron, why not start with playing four games as a Jet before all this multiple season mularkey.

    Same.

     

    They were really banged up with injuries (like the Bills). Never saw a team with 3rd & 4th string starting OTs make the playoffs, especially after losing a stud RB in Chubb and the predator at QB. 

    when they went into Baltimore and beat the Ravens with a backup QB I thought it was on

    The Browns are so interesting to me. They have a ton of talent and the worst contract in history. Does Watson stink now? Will he ever be the guy that he was 5 years ago? If he’s 80% of that guy, they’re a Super Bowl favorite. 

    TBH going into the playoffs I feared them more than I feared KC.

  4. Quality secondary play has been one constant as a Bills fan that I believe characterizes this franchise.

     

    Even in the Decade of Fail we had the likes of Jabari Greer, Stephon Gilmore, and Jairus Byrd to name but a few. 

     

    McDermott has given us good secondary play and with Poyer and White.

     

    This is not a business for sentiment with how quickly careers are over and players move on but I appreciate what Poyer and White have done for this team.

    That Bryce Young trade up was historically AWFUL as well. Especially now that it's #1 overall pick. 

     

    They were just like "ahhh ok, sure we'll throw in our future QB's only WR even though you're saying yes immediately without this player"

    Dave Canales is quoted as saying Carolina isn't the situation for Russel Wilson. He will eventually be quoted as saying it wasn't the situation for Dave Canales either. 

     

     

     

  6. I didn't know the tearaway jersey contract extended into the offseason. The good news is he can feel the rush. Lets hope his blind side protection improves. He may be there training for the Olympic hurdling team. Has anyone started a Bills relocation to Paris thread?

  7. To understand the GMs job, read Ron Wolf's The Packer Way. Ultimately a GM has to assemble talent and hire a coach to get the best out of that talent. To be good at their job must be able to recognize talent. If the GM has not worked as a scout they had better hire those who have. 

    Financial, PR and administrative talent is generic. 

  8. Shaw, you make it sound complicated. In Denver, all you have to do is write cheques.

     

    In all seriousness, I'm sure that there are very sophisticated technological tools to track players who are a fit for Buffalo's schemes, their injury history and contract status.

     

    The benefit of having organizational stability with Beane and McDermott is that they can be philosophically aligned as to the kinds of players and culture we are building.

     

    I'm curious as to the extent to which AI has become a part of play calling and decision making. There is still no software or test that measures heart.

    Tomlin doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that would put up with Russ' baggage.

     

    During the drought, this is the kind of move the Bills front office would make.  I expect a similar move out of a team like Washington.

    So the Steelers would rather waste the best years of TJ Watt on the likes of Rudolph and Pickett. While they don't seem like an all in for a one year rental kind of team like Rams, I think the Steelers with Wilson could have gone farther than they did with Rudolph and Pickett. I don't like the celebrity Wilson has become but I don't think he's forgotten how to play football either. 

     

    If you thought your team had a short window to win and you could get Wilson for under 2 million a year why wouldn't you?

  11. I didn't discover him until he was on Sirius. Some of his comedy was really original and fresh. I still laugh about Pastor David Manning.

     

    In a seemingly perpetual accident of timing, he always seemed to be at his most potty mouthed when I had my kids in the car. The window of time when I could listen seem to shrink.

     

    Now that he's old enough enough to be a grandfather, i find it rather unseemly for a man his age to be discussing the sordid details of bodily fluids in a celebrity sex tape. I eventually cancelled my Sirius subscription as I am retired now and drive a lot less.
