Peterman, I broke it down yesterday and over 10 years as I broke it down, 13-20 had a winning record, and the rest were 8-8. Not one team would be a wildcard team with a losing record, and in that same decade there were two division winners, with a 7-9 record, most notably Seattle. people that keep purporting a wildcard team will have a losing record did not do their homework. Don’t take my word for it, I simply went year by year on a google search from 2010-19, and the facts are clear.

This is a thread for young persons. It’s silly. Anyway, you guys enjoy.

Ok, this argument is silly. Over the last 10 years which is a pretty good sample size. NFL 3- 10-6 1- 9-6-1 8- 9-7 1- 8-7-1 7- 8-8 That means not one team in 10 years had a losing record, and 13 of 20 had a winning record. 65% of all of these teams had a winning record. Whether anyone likes it or not, there is no record in a decade of any team in a potential wildcard having a losing record. There were two division winners who this won’t change had a 7-9 record in the last decade.

The govt will keep on increasing the strictness of contact as it is killing the economy. A ton of people have lost jobs, closed businesses, etc. Football is the least of my concerns, but this is a Bills thread so I understand. My industry has frozen by most companies hiring as well as layoffs, etc. I do think Trump, not to get political will remove a lot of red tape to expedite vaccines, or cures possibly being developed, but I expect this quarantine to get worse, much worse if the incidence continues to rise. For the poster who mentioned hot or otherwise black zones, you forget South Florida. With so much international travel prior to the quarantine, from West Palm to Miami has a very high rate, and what stinks up here in Tampa is so many were taking cruises, etc. and the virus migrated our way. Pretty soon, we won’t even be able to go to the parks even with 6 ft and power walk, jog, etc. It’s the only thing maintaining my sanity. Lastly, some physicians are finding some success with the treatments for malaria. I haven’t seen any objective research yet, just reports from John Hopkins, etc.

Augie and GB, back to you’re corners. Just kidding guys as you know I like and respect both of you. You both make good points. I’m not crazy with European games or any other country, but if there is a 17th neutral site game and both sides agree maybe for a second bye or something so there is somewhat of a built in travel thing then no worries from me. Now this year, I feel from TBD European posters, but if the disease is still kore prevalent over there, or at all, why send teams to Europe as the only way they still play at all is without fans even if mostly gone, but just remnants, and that is a stretch. I know this damn virus/protein is a pain in the ars for everyone, but if we don’t take drastic measures it’s not going away and I was laid off like many others. It blows, but the sooner it goes away the better.

Promo, I almost spit out my dinner I was laughing so hard. Thanks for sharing bud.

I’m not worried about him being mvp, but just continuing to improve. If he improves on the long ball, accuracy, etc., can anyone really not be happy. Well I guess so as some are not happy with just about anything. I’m confident about him improving, but mvp is a stretch for me and is not a knock at all on him. Lets see what Beane does with his draft capital and how many more weapons we can get on the offense. The things we’ve talked at nauseas about given our quarantine gulag ( and that’s fine as we all just want to to go away ), WR, big punishing RB, maybe outside chance a stud TE although not hopeful, etc. Beane has done such a nice job in FA that we can target well in the draft.

October is a guess, and probably a good one, but my guess if we’re lucky, the season starts on time, but probably almost no OTA’s, Training camp, maybe pre- season, but I can see the season getting cleared as we probably ( big stress on probably ) have the season without fans. Don’t kill the messenger as not what I want either, but if it means we get to watch the NFL with no fans, I’ll take it. I know it doesn’t make sense as Alpha mentioned why hasn’t this disease ended in places like India as already hot there, but the John Hopkins Medical Director of Infectious Disease went through all of this information and she covered that heat should kill this protein as it really is not a virus. It’s a protein with a layer of fat around it, and the reason the sanitizer etc., and the high isopropyl alcohol does kill it. Given I used to call on that account and that doctor, I trust her. Lets all pray we’re all ok, and this ends in the summer. Need to have a positive attitude with 30% unemployment based on the floating numbers. For all our sakes, I hope this gets better.

I respectfully disagree although we can disagree a backhanded compliment. He was just referring to resolve of the team and it’s fan base, and the opportunity for long term success in the future. We’re a great pic for a Brit (even though I’m Irish - old timers will get that one) and they can tip a Bass Ale on a Sunday watching the only NYS team! They also can root for their colors as well as ours in Red, White, and Royal Blue.

If you mean Jamie’s as the back up, I’ll agree, but anything more than a look at Cam when they can actually do visits, maybe.

DHG, I could swear you’re right.

I do think we will win the AFCE, and maybe we play two tougher divisions, but so does the rest of the AFCE. Besides, the upside is we will be battle hardened. I think realistically we go 10-6 and won’t be intimidated by any playoff team. We, the Ravens, Titans, and KC will be ducking it out down the stretch in the playoffs. We beat the Titans last year, the Ravens played their worst game against us even though they won, and Frazier and McD were masterful how they contained the read option. We could have won that game. As far as the Patsies, I’ll contend the second game wasn’t fun, but that first game is one bad play that had us lose. Our defense had Brady throwing it away all day, and we penetrated on him. Now Brady is gone, and they didn’t have the $ to pick hardly any FA’s.

WR, Edge, TE, RB in that order and they trade up twice. They’ll also take BPA for one more pick and that’s it. It’s a reach on TE, but maybe.

I don’t disagree as Smith is annoying. I don’t remember as someone else pointed out the racist comments. As far as Faulk, he’s a douche. When the Steelers played the Cardinals in the SB in Tampa, I was asked to put together a little less than half the coaches at the NFL experience. It’s cool as the kids really enjoy it, and you run drills etc. with current and former players and a coach or two the days I was there. Well, Faulk came into to talk with Boys and Girls Club kids, and was the biggest prick to us coaches who thought we were volunteering our time. Later, we were paid and was pleasantly surprised. Anyway, I lost all respect for that guy that day.

Inigo, I’m sorry about you’re dad and know how it feels as my mom died on my 40th birthday, but think it’s great you placed the Bills shirt on him. Agreed on wanting at least one although I want a couple over the next five years. Outside of maybe Cleveland, what city deserves it more? I don’t see many more FA, except for depth maybe, but if Beane can trade up more than once to get stars, we could really shine this year. The other thing as mentioned in another thread is we are set up for success with this quarantine. A lot of returning veterans and continuity of coaching allows them to come out fast. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t see Cincy trading no matter what. They want Burrow and believe he will be their franchise QB. That’s just my speculation, unless only Burrow’s camp beats the drum on not playing for Cincy. I can see Miami moving up to #3 from #5 for whoever they think will be a stud. The upside is Miami has Fitz to cover until Tua is completely healed, but the downside as electric as Tua can be, he has that injury history, so maybe it is Herbert. We’ll find out in late April.

Victory, thanks as with all this crap we’re dealing with in this nation, one nice part is the excitement for our beloved Bills! Once we finish the draft, and seriously hope Beane follows his track record and bundles picks and trades up a couple times, to get better talent (we hope). I would be so happy to get four maybe five studs at the most as we have spent our $ well, dealt a ton of needs already, and so having less additions, but higher quality talent is a good strategy if we can find trade partners. I’m all in on the Bills this year and finally feel like we have our next Polian building such talent and making shrewd decisions we are creating a sustainable team down the road. How fun would it be to be a playoff team the next five years, and have a Mgmt, coaching staff for a decade. To be a team where we are the ones talked about as a perpetual contender in the same voice as the Chiefs, Steelers, Ravens, and so on.

This thread is masochism. ?. The funny thing is I’m just as masochistic for scanning it. I know it was frustrating and we should have coached and executed better, but it’s over and I’m focused on looking forward, and “the future looks so bright, we all have to wear shades”. Funny, the yougins on this board have no idea of the reference. Dating my middle agedness.

I appreciate the thread OP, but I wouldn’t do a QB this year when it’s almost assured whether anyone on the board or not will probably use if there is yearly progression a full five years with the extension to Allen to see if he is the guy. I’d rather bundle picks to get some studs, and end up with maybe 5 picks tops. Move up for a WR/EDGE/RB. I’m sure two other BPA, but I’d be so happy with studs at those three positions with actually WR and RB as top priorities, but we can can get a solid RB at a later third day pick. Keep adding weapons, and if we get another cheap Edge guy, for the next four years, awesome. I’d be surprised if we take any other top FA if there are any left, and rather save the $ for the upcoming contracts after one more year of cheap labor.

How did this thread turn into a TP discussion??. Just kidding. CSon, nice start bud given you’re newness to posting. Very interesting post. Have a Good Friday everyone with those Newspapers.

Absolutely. She’s a beautiful and incredibly bright woman. In Pegula we trust. Thank the lord for that family and everything they have done for the city, and not just the teams. In that sense we have another owner that gives back to this city. Mods, I was polite as possible regarding Mrs. Pegula. Slim Shady, thanks for giving us a heads up. Very good of you.

It’s almost impossible to tell from Spotrac and all the variables with who we’ll pay like Dawkins, Milano, and White, or even extend like Hyde or someone else. Im confident we should be flush even after we extend those, but we get one step closer to a possible extension the following year or two for Allen, so we’ll have to hold some back. I wouldn’t worry about it, as Beane and company have been making very good financial decisions.

Well as I read the article, and the one poster who mentioned all of this capital to get back in the 1st wasn’t reported so I don’t know how much Beane will give up. He won’t give everything away, but he’s been shrewd before in moving up, so we’ll see. I’d love to get him at the right price, and to get back in the first if available Beane will probably watch the board, and then if close target the most cash strapped teams as they’ll want volume. I know it sounds like blasphemy, but a possible target is the Patriots. With the $13.5 they have to pay for Brady against the cap, and they only have $2.3 million left in the cap and a lack of talent, so it is not crazy to get back to the Patriots. That is just one wild scenario, but who knows?

We had our chance with Hooper, but we didn’t pull the trigger. The Syracuse article about the Baylor WR was interesting and maybe a better option now given the FA TE market is pretty much dead and the draft is light on TE’s.

Inigo, I agree with McNasty in nice post as usual, but believe we really missed when even with these changes had the $ to get Hooper before Cleveland. Given their disarray, and our current ascension, if we even offered the same $, Hooper would have signed with us. It’s too early to pull the trigger on another QB, and I know you’re not saying that point. Agreed, Allen needs to take another step, and my guess is this regime will see out his contract before they get in the QB race again.
