They get two and you’re still down by a possession. So still fine throwing the ball.

The issue is, in that situation, on a 2 point conversion, you can’t let the play break down like that. He needed to get rid of the ball and at least give somebody a chance to make a play. It’s a 2 point conversion, there is zero downside to just letting it rip.

This Gilbert kid throws a nice ball

Yes. Guys like Brady think that way regularly. I remember my time in sports. Every national championship I won, I was never excited. I did what I was supposed to do. What was expected of me. Then on to the next one. The moment you get complacent is the moment you lose.

Dez is still around/unemployed, right? I am no WR guru, but what about Dez and Coleman on the outside, and KB in the slot. KB beats nobody with speed. Feels like he could be a good possession receiver.

I mean, unless it came with a new (lesser) contract, what wouldn’t he agree to? “Cordy, you’re competing for th starting LT this year. Dawkins did well. It will be a good battle. We still have a few spots we would slot you in to start on the OL if that doesn’t work out. Also you get to keep you’re starting LT money regardless”

Full agreed. I’ll add on, even if Dawkins is the better LT (the best ability is availability), Glenn could have helped us tremendously at RT. Or even kicked inside to OG, where most people had him pegged. Could have solved a few issues for us on the OL. I get the trade but dont love it. Also don’t hate it.

Simply, a strong athlete is a tight athlete. That’s even more true for guys playing explosive (very quick stop and start) athletes. Then make those strong athletes like 240lbs or more. The tendons and ligaments have difficulty holding up with that much mass, momentum, and sports. Throw in a little juicing and it gets worse. Bodies are bigger and stronger than they are built for. Steroids don’t do much of anything for tendon and ligament use. At least the type of steroids these dudes are using to play in the NFL

I think this discussion is less about incentives v. guaranteed, and more about getting paid if you’re cut or released. I get you have signing bonuses, and roster bonuses that are built in, and come off the table, but base salary should be paid out. If you are cut, I still think you should get paid out, unless you break some morality clause. I also think in situations like Eric Wood and Kevin Everett, those guys should get paid out, but not count against the cap. Eric Wood, nor the Bills, should be punished because of a career ending injury. (For the franchise, I mean punished as money towards the cap)

I think it was Nov 2007. Pats V. Bills at the Ralph. Brady scored a touchdown on EVERY.SINGLE.POSSESSION. I think we managed 7 points?

This might actually be in Buffalo. Looks like the Statler. Entrance to the big ball room?

Huh

Because they wouldn’t indict him for criminal charges.

Interesting that this is a civil case, because the DA could pursue it criminally if they thought enough of it. He wasnt found innocent, just not enough for indightment. His claim that her accusation caused him to fall in the draft is separate from actual guilt. A lot of rape cases go this way. I wouldn’t pursue it if I were him. Not really worth it. It also doesn’t clear him of anything. I say this not knowing the details of the proceedings. Just what each event actually means.

It was a typo I fixed. I meant realignment. Sorry

Found this on reddit. Thought it was pretty cool. We have been incredibly bad in the AFC as a whole, and terrible in the AFCE. ) The Bills in each division: AFCE: 37-59 AFCN: 14-17 AFCS: 14-17 AFCW: 14-20 NFCE: 6-10 NFCN: 10-6 NFCS: 5-11 NFCW: 10-6 (Math might be off. Posted from phone)

Huh? Have I missed something? I just googled and nothing came up on the first page to indicate any issues with Rosen in AZ...

Hyde and Poyer were Whaley signings....

Now they’re in a tough spot. Charge for content, totally revamp the sports section. I thought the BN content wasn’t worth me paying. Now it’s a new staff. And I won’t be willing to pay for an unknown.

You’re still not wrong though. Our starting secondary is very good. We lack depth though. This team is still better with Darby on it, than not.

I’d actually go the other way. All contracts are 100% garaunteed. Maybe a 5 year, conditional years 4 and 5. Where if you hit your markers, the team is required to retain and pay you. You’d see less wasted money on unproven guys. I also think in instances loke Eric Wood, Aaron Williams,or the extreme Kevin Everett, the team should be required to pay, BUT it doesn’t have any effect on the cap. It’s just taken off the books. Forced retirement by a doctor.

If memory serves, he did it in Minny in one of his stints as well. I agree with you. I’d vote TO first ballot with personality issues, WAAAYYYY before a guy who was open about taking plus off. Randy Moss is the the most talented WR to ever play the game, and I don’t think it’s close....doesn’t make him the best though.

Sure TT...

Move criticized this regime for a number of moves, but this is a bad take on them. If anything, they give zero eff’s about salary or draft choice when it comes to putting 22 guys on the field. They are totally ok with going against what they thought or wanted to happen....except Tolbert. Still don’t get that one.
