  1. It will be interesting to see where Allen takes his level of play next season.   The issue with accuracy has to improve though.  Watching the College National Championship game last night you could see the difference between Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow.  It made me think of the difference between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes.  Burrow was so deadly accurate and Lawrence was not.  It played out as the difference in the score.

  2. Cody Ford is a high character guy so if he says he will donate the money to charity I fully believe he will.   What I don't understand is how the NFL can fine Ford $28k but not fine Clowney for a helmet to helmet hit that knocked Wentz completely out of the game and maybe end his career.  The NFL should follow college football and their "Targeting" and eject anyone for helmet to helmet.

    I'm not a fan of hyperbole. For me, it usually detracts from the point trying to be made. I welcome critical thinking, it's why I come here everyday. 'You're only as good as your last kick' is a clownish statement to me.

     

    Oh really, ask Mike Nugent when he got cut by the Patriots a couple of weeks ago.  He missed a 34 yard field goal and had a 29 yard field goal blocked.  He was 5 of 8 with the Pats so that means two of the three he missed were in his last game with them.

  4. I think what makes analytics so good for baseball is that you can apply it throughout the minor leagues as well.  The spin rate on a pitchers curveball or bat speed for a hitter can be measured at any level of baseball and compared to any level of baseball.  That may not work as well in football on a broad scale but there is still value to be had using analytics.  As it becomes more main stream the important analytics or useful information will become more apparent.  I like it and hope the Bills get on board.  

  5. That game was hard to watch, at least the 2nd half.  I like Rivers.  He is a competitor who leaves it all on the field, but he comes up short time after time.  He started the 2nd half disaster with that interception thrown into triple coverage.  The announcers said he threw nine 4th quarter interceptions last year.  That confirms he struggles when the game is on the line,

  6. In the article it says the fans are willing to pay for the stadium experience.  That may be but these new stadiums may price themselves out of reach for most fans.  It already costs a lot of money to go to a game and that is in an average stadium.  I live in Southern California and looked into going to see the Bills play the Chargers.  On Stub-hub and other ticket sits the starting price was over $150 per ticket.  That is for a soccer stadium being used by the NFL.  How much more does the "stadium experience" cost?  I chose to not go to the game.  Its just as well given the outcome.  

  7. This year is worse because it seemed like things were lining up.  5 - 2 start, good defense and an adequate offense to be competitive.  The Jets game looked like a win as did the Chargers game.  I figured they would be 7 - 3 right now worse case.  After these three blowouts I think beating Indy will be a challenge.  I am not sure they could beat the Browns or niners right now.

    this team is the worst team in the NFL, PERIOD!

    No way, Cleveland is still worse.  The Niners are in the mix as well.  But this team is sliding into the abyss.  I am always amazed how a team can trade players picked in the 1st round for late round draft picks and think that is a good idea.  It must be something in the water or air at One Bills Drive that causes this thinking.  Anyway I think 5 -11 is a real possibility after this Chargers debacle.  

  9. F5 this please. Disease know no difference between money and poverty

    That isn't entirely true. Money buys better heath care. How many people have no health insurance because they can not afford coverage. How many people with coverage can not afford to cover the copay or deductible so they don't get treatment at all. I wish the best for Kason and pray he will be healed but his father has an obligation and responsibility to provide for him right now and maybe for a long, long time. Karlos has the talent to play in the NFL if he sets his priorities and puts the weed down.

    ....sounds like a misunderstanding of Jim's role

    ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Jim Overdorf was promoted to Buffalo Bills senior vice president of football administration, giving him control over contract negotiations and salary cap decisions.

     

    The move announced Thursday was part of a minor front office restructuring that follows Russ Brandon's promotion to chief operating officer. Brandon's promotion came after the Bills elected not to fill the general manager's role after Marv Levy stepped down at the end of the season.

    Anyone who has been involved in the contract negotiations and salary cap decisions should be sent packing. If that includes Overdorf, and it sounds like it does, then he should be gone. To change the culture you have to change the people. All of them, including good ole, Russ Brandon.

    No, but it should be a major consideration. Remember that Edmonton fired people, changed org structure, and finally got going once they won McDavid. You get a top 3-4 player in the NHL and they get special treatment and consideration.

     

    I want a young coach who will run and gun. So far one name that I like for that is Sheldon Keefe.

    Edmonton turned things around because of Peter Chiarelli and Todd McLellan as well as McDavid. Chiarelli and McLellan were both proven winners, something Buffalo never hires.
