  1. With the NFL now admitting the link between football and CTE it is time for the Buffalo Bills to take a pro-active approach to head injuries. It borders on total negligence that free agents are given monster deals and our own players handed huge extensions WITHOUT scanning for CTE. When you’re making multi-million dollar investments, the due diligence process is critical. You don’t buy a house without examining the attic for bats and leaks. Why make major financial commitments to players before testing for the presence of CTE? CTE is a degenerative condition which not only effects players current performance, but also exposes the team to future liability. I’m sure Littman and Overdorf, as responsible fidouchearies, have established loss reserves to account for future CTE lawsuits but avoiding the players with CTE would be far more responsible. Its too late for Glenn, but Whaley should have Taylor and Gilmore assessed for CTE as soon as possible. I think Buffalo has an opportunity to get ahead of the game by testing all draft prospects for CTE. I’m sure CTE tests will be incorporated into the Combine soon (why not? They measure everything else.), but Buffalo has the inside track if they act now. We don’t agree on much, but I think EVERYONE can agree on this!
  2. I've been keeping an eye on Hogan throughout his collegiate career and I truly believe he projects to be successful at the next level. I think he has the skill set, the desire, and the attitude necessary to make it. I am concerned that he has played in the spread, but I think he projects to sell more Kias than anyone in the 2016 draft.
  3. Why? In 2014 we were 26th in 3 and outs on a percentage basis and 1 worse on an aggregate basis relative to 2015, yet our defense was among the top units in the league. Perhaps if our defense got the ball back more often our offense might find rhythm and have even less 3 and outs? Its a two way street. Be careful where you assign causality.
  4. What was wrong with the last thread where this topic was beat to death?
  5. I hope hes asking Perrantes if he wents to smell the fingers of a guy headed to the final four.
  6. If they finish last in 2016, my guess is that they will play the last place finisher in the AFC South and AFC North in 2017.
  7. Typical Vagattarius mentality. Always the skeptic. There's disagreement in your future with an opportunity for success as the earth waxes and Venus enters moon phase with Uranus.
  8. The only context that I'm aware of with finger sniffing is when a man might see if his hand still smells like the girl that he, to use the scientific term, finger blasted, earlier in the day.
  9. Definitely. I'd even carry her luggage for her.
  10. The chart is accurate, BUT if Buffalo continues to grow at current levels and Jacksonville's economy remains flat, we are projected to overtake them by 2053. Jacksonville is going down!!!
  11. Yes, they are exceptions. Once a decade exceptions. If Taylor fails to improve and we play behind a top 2 defense, maybe our ceiling is conference championship. Maybe we squeak into the super bowl and get blown out. Maybe its just a wild card game. Teams that qualify for post season play have a funny habit of making runs. The Giants limped into the playoffs twice and won super bowls. The Ravens were dead in the water and got hot at the right time. The Jets limped in with Sanchize and were a few plays away from a super bowl bid. I'm of the opinion that perennial playoff team is different than middling 8-8 team and another season of anybody's guess as to record and outcome. There's a material difference between being a top unit in any phase of the game and just average. Arguing otherwise based on whether our QB play is sufficient to be super bowl favorites or just playoff likely is silly.
  12. I addressed what you said and then you claimed not to have said it. I had to go further up thread to find your garbage about definitions of success which was particularly weak since the Denver Broncos just won a super bowl with the worst starting QB play in the NFL. I think Super Bowl champs may meet most definitions of success. You're better than this, or at least you used to be. I can assure you its effortless.
  13. Its almost as if there are multiple phases to the game and QB play, albeit the most important, is just an aspect of the game. What was actually said was flippant and utterly incorrect. Your pathetic attempts to wiggle out from underneath the weight of your own arrogant brand of aggressive ignorance are equally misguided.
  14. Then by all means, clarify your argument.
  15. I agree. We do need kinda need a new stadium. But not because of other owners desire for more revenue, or to stay competitive, or because it will be an economic boon to the region, but because the Ralph is old and all structures have a useful life.
  16. And they lost. So... Are you really so committed to your flippant comment that you're going to argue that 15th or 2nd in defense is meaningless to wins and losses unless your QB play is better than above average?
  17. So what you're saying is: 1. 10 home games a year doesn't generate sufficient revenue to recover the costs of a new stadium. 2. The other events hosted at these state of the art multi-purpose all year facilities generate negligible revenue. 3. The economic effects of hosting even major events like the Super Bowl and Final 4 (not that Buffalo would ever host these) are brief and largely go to major corporations like hotels. 4. The costs of building a new stadium will never be offset by revenue or the other economic benefits to the area. 5. The state already wastes billions of public money. 6. Lets build a new multi-purpose state of the art stadium. Did I get that right?
  18. Yes. I thought it was clearly tongue in cheek as I went on to cite three more examples of bands that replaced or continued to play without their original lineup.
  19. What a disgrace. You can't replace the lead singer of AC/DC. Its unthinkable. Not possible. Can't be done. I think the band will sooner quit than replace their singer. It would be like Rolling Stones replacing a member, or The Who moving on with a new member, or Led Zeppelin playing after the death of a band member. NEVER HAPPENING!
  20. Whaley forgot to add non-competes to their contracts because he is the son of Tom Donahoe and drinks babies' blood.
  21. Its granted in NFL think now that you need a new stadium. And why wouldn't it be when a viable business model for years has been "We can use public funds to offset CapEx and grow our revenue base. Its brilliant and risk free to us. Go NFL!!"
  22. I've got that range. Call me Pissatron or Megastream.
  23. That's because they removed the trough.
  24. They ruined the XP? The XP was the most boring play in football. It was granted. No one watched it. Now, you stay in your seat until its on the board. You don't get a head start on a piss and a beer.
  25. During much of the era of pain, the return game represented what felt like our best opportunity to score.
