LOL. Especially the tanned part...

He's for sure going to get over 20. I agree that I wouldn't pay him 25 a year, but he will get well over that 18 to 20 range 100 percent

Never once said that, but there's a way to respectfully question him opposed to being an arse hole to the guy. I am not saying you are/aren't because I haven't read your posts in this thread, but for sure a few people are. Just sucks for everyone who enjoyed his info because doesn't seem like he will be sharing much anymore

My argument is, if you don't believe him why is it necessary to call him out on it? Why not just go to the next thread and ignore what he is saying? Because there are a lot of posters like myself who are very interested in what he has to say, and now because of posters calling him out/attacking him, he doesn't want to post anymore. And I can't say I blame him

I'm with you on that. I think he is an above average QB, but I don't think I would pay him 25-28 mil per year or whatever the rate is now. He makes beautiful throws but has flaws in his game. The first one that comes to mind is untimely interceptions

He's probably frustrated because he's trying to do us a favour by sending us juicy info and people are just ripping on him. If what he's saying is true, I would be pissed as well and wouldn't bother posting anymore

I appreciate you sending the info. Right or wrong, it's entertaining and gets us talking and thinking

I would assume he means he will update to see whether he is back or not next year

I hear your points but I respectfully disagree. Everyone who plays football now knows the danger of playing football. Its not a secret anymore. Like I said, do I think there will be a decline in kids playing? Probably, ya. Because to your point, I'm sure more research will be done to illustrate the dangers. But I don't think it's going to come close to jeopardizing the sport. As long as we continue to watch, and as long as million dollar contracts are given out to these players, I think the NFL will always have a massive waiting list of people who would do anything to make it pro.

There may be a decline but there will still be tons. Think about it even now. If one person quit the NFL, there would literally be thousands and thousands of people who would push their own grandma down the stairs to take his spot.

NFL will always dominate. Maybe not as much as a few years ago when it peaked, but there will always be tons of kids wanting to play, and tons of fans like us who want to watch

Same. I thought Jay Feely was always on the sidelines who commented on kicking conditions lol

Possibly ya. He was missed big time last night. The Pats the last 12 years (or roughly) haven't won a playoff game outside of Foxboro so home field advantage is massive for them. That loss last night of course hurts the odds of home field

It's possible. He is a defensive coach though and defensive head coaches generally lean towards the conservative side. Not all the time but most of the time. Well let's just hope they draft their guy in next year's draft and get a competent offensive coordinator to develop the young QB

Thought it would be 1-2 before watching last nights game, but thinking 0-3 now

I don't think he's doing a terrible job, I want to make that clear. And the mistakes in my opinion are 3 main things. Being too conservative at times, clock management, and burning timeouts. I don't have to give you too many examples about conservative as I'm sure you know a few good instances at the top of your head. ( kicking field goal inside 1 yard line against ATL, punt last week of course) those are just a couple right off the bat. Clock management is bad on to many occasions. Like when they have the lead in the 4th and they snap it with 15 seconds left on the Play clock. At the end of the half I find it bad for the most part. Except last game as it worked out brilliant. And the burning of timeouts. He called 2 last week on the Colts final drive because he wanted to see the Colts line up. You just can't do that. If that two point conversation stands, you need to have those timeouts you used. All year he has done that with his timeouts. That's just my opinion, feel free to disagree of course. I just think he really has to improve on those 3 main things if the Bills are ever going to be a Superbowl contender one day

Its an extreme comparison, but the same principles are there. They are employees and mistakes are going to happen the first few weeks as they are learning on the job. But those same mistakes shouldn't happen week in and week out for over 3 months

I never once said you called me stupid. I said if my opinion of what I just said above falls under the definition of stupid for you, then so be it. Meaning I have no idea if you think what I said falls under your original post about "stupid" and "bitching and moaning". And I never once said anyone is kissing his arse (well I can probably name a few posters), but I'm saying I'm not going to look the other way and say everything is ok when he makes glaring mistakes just because he is a first year head coach... For one, clock management and burning timeouts like they are useless.... He hasn't learned a thing since week 1 about that. 13 weeks later its inexcusable not to adjust, whether its your first year or 15th year. If a regular guy at a job, say working at Mcdonalds does a glaring mistake the first few weeks, I'm sure people will give him the benefit of the doubt. But if he does it 3 months later and does those same mistakes, it really is inexcusable and that's a problem. You can't just say, "Well he is only 3-5 months in so it's ok to mess up the same thing over and over again". Do you not agree with that? And once again I am not calling for his firing or calling him an idiot. But there are a lot of things he does that are extremely weird I agree to a certain degree. But it is week 13 now. If he made these mistakes the first 4 weeks I would understand. But it seems like he isn't adjusting and he makes these same mistakes time and time again. Like clock management, and burning timeouts for very little reason

BB is very arrogant and is a jerk but he has answered losses like that his whole career. Remember 3 years ago after the loss to K.C? I believe he said "We are on to Cincinnati" after every question

I have an opinion on him so far and there are more negatives than positives. I am not saying fire him or anything like that but I do think he needs to improve on a lot of areas going into next year. So if my opinion falls under your definition of stupid then so be it. But I'm definitely not going to give him excuses or kiss his arse just because he's a first year head coach

You understand that they had to go a much longer field with the 3rd string quarterback after getting the ball back, right? We are not aloud to critique a coach just because he's in his first year?

Overall I'm dissapointed with him but definitely not saying fire him or anything like that. Yes they are 7 and 6 but let's be honest, the bills could easily be at 4 and 9 or 5 and 8 if it weren't for a few very fortunate breaks throughout the year. I think his preparation is pretty descent but his game time decisions are just mind boggling to me. Starting with his clock management, then to how conservative he usually plays things. Also don't like how he traded a lot of talent for draft picks. Like I said, not saying fire him as that would be dumb but I really hope he improves on those last points I brought up next year. Because those game time decisions aren't good enough in my books

Ya I agree with that. Before the year I thought they were a 5 win team. Somehow they find themselves right in the middle of a playoff race

I guess from a fans perspective, I'm mad he didn't go for it because I'm assuming the bills have 0 chance against the Pats. So tie against the Colts and lose against the Pats, the season is done. I understand the coach can't mark losses on the calendar, but he should also know it's almost an impossible task to win those last 3 games, especially given the tough schedule ahead. That's where I think he mis calculated the decision to play"not to lose". 9 and 7 gives you a descent shot so you can maybe afford to lose one more game. 8-7-1 gives you no shot

I heard it on wgr today. They definitely would need some help
