CB, that’s why they ran 13 personnel as a staple last year (I know you know but for others that means 1 RB, 3 TE sets, so only 1 WR). They have excellent TE’s and you can never tell when they are pass catching or blocking and they as a unit do both well.

Augie, that sounds pretty cool you, KJ, and Boyst were able to go to a game together with you’re sons. I like it. Buftex, if you want a good Bills Panther outcome since we play them only once every four years, we won in 2013.

I understand the other issues discussed, but what is most likely from the title of the thread is there will not be fans in the stadiums. I’m not saying I want or don’t want it, just this the most likely scenario. The cases here in FL are skyrocketing and the highest incidence is 25-34. We all have to wear masks anywhere in an enclosed place except home. Bottom line is it won’t be the NFL or teams making the call. It will the respective Governors. States who have opened too early and seeing spikes in cases are closing back down one by one.

Guys, this is another post of a Jets fan who is trying to passively aggressively insight these things. Not worth our time. If the mods want to let him keep going, fine as Hapless sent a nice message the other day, but Jets 2020 is just trying to insight silliness on this board. I don’t dislike the guy, just don’t want to play into his nonsense. He knows what he is doing and it’s not that he is a Bills fan. My suggestion is don’t reply to his threads. I’ve not answered his question and won’t. Let the thread die. Like you’re mom said as a kid, if someone is bothering you or a pain, just ignore him and give him absolutely no response. This message is for the real Bills fans on the board, not someone just trying in a veiled way try and stir up trouble.

Guys, the Pats lost 3 of their starters on defense. That’s 28%. They won on defense, and the run game even though they threw a lot. It was one of Brady’s worst throwing years and they didn’t add a lot of offensive weapons. The Bills will be fine. Newton had multiple injuries and is 31, not the 26 year old who went to the SB. I will bet a plug nickel (if I knew what that was but my Dad says it) the Bills are 1-1 with the Pats, and sweep the rest of the division. That’s 5-1 and we finish 11-5 and win the division. No more running down the hall with the house on fire stuff. Everyone knows on this board what Allen has done in improvements, and the team. We finally have a near complete team, but really no one has one. There are always things could’ve better. We have the most continuity if starters in the NFL, I thought at 86 or 88%. Brady was a bigger threat to us with the quick release and knowing when to throw it away, not to mention his accuracy and anticipation. people go bananas about Allen’s (not most of you) at almost 59%, but Newton only had above 60% 3 of his 9 years, and only 1 above 62%. He’s slower at this point than Allen, and more beat up. We will be fine. We will be fine Danya San. Just show me Sand the floor, wax on, wax off.

Couldn’t disagree more. This is exactly why the NFLPA came out with this notice. I actually love them practicing, but they are doing nothing in the social distancing thing. They could easily have done these activities, but stayed away just 6 darn feet from each other. Basically reinforces the NFLPA, the players won’t adhere to CDC rules. I am very happy they practiced, worked on drills and had fun. That’s great. I have fun with my children, friends and family, but we respect these new rules. This is why here in FL we are spiking again. We opened too much too early, and the lead positive tests are 16-35 with the emphasis on 24-35which is why we shut the bars down again this week, reviled liquor licenses to places not adhering to the provisions, and the proportion of employees at these service places is through the roof. If anything, I am not in fear, I’m sick of the restrictions meaning I just want this crap to go away. Honestly, I wish the NFLPA would get out of the way and whatever real time the players missed in OTA’s could be tacked on to an extended training camp, even if they had to spend three weeks quarantined in some location and was regulated by the NFL and PA as these two groups would make sure all of the safety precautions were met. Now that would be good. Did you guys know Clemson football is up to 36 guys positively tested already among all of the other examples like LSU, Kansas, etc. It’s what is coming.

I was going to let it go as I like Shaw, but Pikes was in his prime. He played from 98-12 so in 04, he was peaking as a 6 year veteran. He had a lot of good years after Buffalo, and thought it was stupid to move on from Takeo and London, both of which played for very long careers. Think about it, Takeo played through 2012, 15 years, and Fletcher for 16 years, both jettisoned after the 06 season. One more example of the constant mismanagement of this team forever. Thank god this is the best I’ve seen the Bills run and coached since the Polian/Levy years, and before my time the mid 60’s Bills winning championships.

Just lightheartedly busting chops. I understand. Have a good Sunday bud.

KJ - I know I’m getting older, but didn’t you just write yesterday owners should stay out of football operations or something to that effect? I’m just kidding, but he is a meddling owner.

I’m not sure how Kim Pegula wearing a headset turned into a referendum on Jerrah, but ok. Jones was way too over involved and shooed off very good coaches (Jimmy Johnson - yeah I hate him too, but an excellent football mind, and Parcells). He doesn’t like strong willed coaches, but he has done a remarkable job building up the Cowboys financially and has it as I believe the #1 valued sports franchise in all of sports worldwide (I believe they surpassed the valuation of Man U.). Now he does have a solid coach in McCarthy, he and his son moreso have made unsexy picks like building up a tremendous O Line when the old Jerrah would keep picking skill players. This year he added another probably top flight WR to Cooper, and one of the top 5-7 RB’s. His son has been good for him. Personally I hate the Cowboys as much as the Pats, Fins, and Redskins (basically any team that beat us in the SB except the Giants because they were the Pats cryptonite in SB’s).

As much as I love this never ending chaos with the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets, and losing Anderson would be great from the AFCE, I don’t see it. Either the Jets buckle shipping him off, as someone may offer something, or Anderson will get sick of not getting paid and getting fined daily. If the Jets play hardball, he’s making nothing and loses eligibility for a year past week 10. Part of me loves that he won’t be playing week 1, part would love him playing for an NFC team, preferably not in the West this year. But think about it, the teams with the most space per Spotrac are the Browns, Skins, Lions, and Miami. Jags also have around $20 mil., but they also have tons of 2021 draft picks. The real issue that makes me skeptical is because the cap will almost certainly go down at a minimum 25-30%, teams aren’t dumb and need cheap labor, aka, draft picks. So they need their space and they need their picks. If the Jets are smart (big if although Douglas is known to be pretty sharp), they wait it out, and Anderson has to buckle. Between the 5th year option, and tagging, the Jets have him if they want for a long time. In addition, they can’t buckle to these demands or their screwed for future ridiculous demands by players who have two years left. If he pulled this next year, he’d have some leverage, but not this year. Now his agent knows the cap is going down so he’s behind forcing the issue now. Just remember a team has to give up a $15 mil./yr. contract on a year where the cap is going down, and has to give up at least a 1st, and a 2nd, and this is for a safety. He may be the best Safety in the league, but he’s still a Safety. A lot of teams may not pace that high of a value on a Safety.

Wonder Twin Powers activate! OMG, I haven’t thought about mood rings since I was in elementary school. I can’t remember the colors what they symbolized, but I thought red was you’re pissed off, and purple at peace or something. Ridgeway, we’re showing our age brother. Now I need to go to watch an episode of Happy Days. On channel 29.

Wrex made the most of what Mangini built. He had flaws too, but if you want to go back to any coach who was worth it in the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets is Parcells. Oh maybe Belicheck, but then he was there for a cup of coffee. That must have sucked. ?

Kzoo, I like you’re passion, but we were good enough, we just weren’t coached well enough. I guess another unpopular take, but for all of Levy’s strengths, he was outcoached in the big ones. If anything, we had superior talent just used in a way that showed flaws. One area of a personnel mistake was not replacing Fred Smerlas with another Monster NT. We thought we would be cute and use a small fast NT in Jeff Wright. Playing a 3-4 when it really was a 3-4, not a hybrid was not meant to have a small fast NT. We needed a monster body like big old Teddy W. (That’s Ted Washington for the youngins in the group). That made us susceptible up the middle to the run like IDK, Emmett. It still amazes me how Bruce averaged I think it was 17 sacks a year for over 19 years in a 3-4, and didn’t have a Teddy taking up space in the middle.

Kzoo, I appreciate another football topic as we’ve had enough distractions. It was a huge disappointment in 04. Most of us kne we wouldn’t get that far with a good defense and as always a mediocre offense. Takes, London, and soon we’re fun to watch.

Good list, but you forgot the most dynamic RB in the league (IMO) is McCaffrey. He’s like a RB and WR rolled up into one.

I like it Chevy a lot. Great idea. C’mon Happless, you have some juice. Tell Kim when you have lunch tomorrow together.

You nailed it WhoTom. I was thinking Chan was dealt the crappiest talented team for the Bills in 20 years, but still won some games, however megaphone Gregg (remember that moron using that as a rookie head coach at training camp) had a lot of very talented defensive players and Moulds. Figures the Jets fan place Wrex so high when he was a baffoon here, hence why he was run out of town in two years and led us to a top flight coaching and management staff.

Chandler, I placed a smile face related to you’re second comment. You and Hapless do a great job, although I just see it as basically uncontrollable. The more you guys work exhaustively to placehold COVID-19 conversations to one thread, it’s almost impossible given it is overtaking so much if our lives. FWIW, they’ve been talking a lot on the LSU and some other college football programs that are having widespread outbreaks on NFLR speculating what is to come with training camp. Granted the NFL has a lot more resources than some of the college programs, sanitization should be more thorough, temp. Checks, regular testing, maybe even headsets for all the players to eliminate the huddle, but there will be a spike in positive tests. I’m more concerned with the equipment guys, trainers, coaches over 50, and so on, as well as everyone at camps friends and families. Anyway, I don’t think anything will stop the league from moving forward other than maybe dropping the rest of pre season, training camp starting two to four weeks later, etc. The owners are already going to lose too much $, but cancelling the season won’t happen. I feel for those people as most of us if we work at it can find ways to distance. It may suck, but we still can do it.

No Weo, you were just pulling a Buddy Nix and took a little cat nap. ?

Ridgeway, you’re on a roll this morning. I almost spit out my water reading you’re post laughing so hard. Keep em coming.

I Digg Ya Process and good take. I know Elliott is a rare find, but am just very hopeful DS will be McCoy of his prime, and I don’t see Moss running for 1500+ yards, but If you mean his style, I’m with ya. I can’t wait to see him run over I don’t know say Gilmore. I hope he pulls an Alstott back in his day, he had one run I remember against the Vikings. He broke through the front seven was on his way to the Endzone and just had to take a corner and sail in. Instead, Allstot, the maniac Turns right at the safety, knocks him at least five feet back and scores the TD. That was back when ESPN used to have that schtick “Jacked Up”. It’s going to be fun the business decisions guys like Gilmore will make when he has a pen angry Mack Truck running at him and watch the alligator arms come up.

Gambit, thanks for posting a football topic and not the other stuff. Appreciate it, and process I’ll bet you a whole nickel, you’ll be very happy by the end of the year, and our RB stable are much cheaper. More $ for Dawkins, Milano, White, etc.

Thurmon, I read and have seen Lombardi many times and listened to him in interviews. My opinion, which is mine is I don’t respect his points of view. I maintain he’s trying get in front of the media. Aside from the Patriots, he’s also been at half a dozen other teams.

Nothing like waking up on a Saturday to a sarcastic and funny Ridgeway post. You always keep me laughing Ridge. I actually had that dork now in Vegas with the worst haircut on the planet (he must have loved Dumb and Dumber), that stupid jumpsuit, wearing a pink Headset. That visual is chilling to say the least.
