  1. Sammy did not practice today. I can see why he said his foot "feels great" and estimated that is somewhere between "95% and 100%" Someone get me in a poker game with this guy. He has plenty of money and can't bluff to save his ass.
  2. This thread needs a few dozen more comments regarding the poor choice of wording in the title.
  3. Voted yes but only because the choices were overly simplistic. The correct answer is "sort of, in a particular kind of way." Pegula has demonstrated that he is a rather unsophisticated sports fan with regard to both hockey and football. His inability to realize immediately that both organizations needed to be totally gutted and rebuilt is his first sin. The term "CZAR" should not be used because no one really knows what that means. Insofar as the "CZAR" would be a Pat LaFontaine trusted voice of wisdom stepping in from outside the organization, temporarily, to find the right GM and get the foundation started, I am all in favor of a "CZAR." If we don't go that route, who the hell is going to pick the GM?
  4. I'm with you 100% on this. Start selling.
  5. You are being rather unkind to former Iraqi Information Minister Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf. ​He knew he was spewing BS at the time, but had no choice. In contrast, Rex and his minions actually believe the crap they spew is true. Rex has some pathological problems.
  6. No, that's Joe Bills Fan looking on in equal parts shock, horror, and disbelief. Again.
  7. Another injury?
  8. The Browns are trying to get him on the practice squad. And they would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids finding reasons to sign him!
  9. You're missing the point. Take a look at Bills offensive play #1 from the Baltimore game. An offensive coordinator-type mind up in a box with an eagle's view could have seen the field and told Tyrod, pre-snap, that he is throwing to either Woods or Sammy. I.E., forget the right side of the field, forget other other options...the desirable play is to throw to one of those 2. Tyrod never figured that out on his own on that play. Also, the whole system can backfire plenty of times and still be incredibly effective. You don't need to alter the outcome of every play; you just need to skew the odds of a favorable outcome enough that over the course of a game, you have an advantage. It's the same reason why the casino in Vegas will play blackjack with you all day long. The game is mathematically designed so that the house wins just enough over the long haul to always make money...the fact that the house will lose hands now and then or even go on a long run of losing is immaterial, long term. Give me a system where my QB has a 10 or 15% better chance of success over the course of a season to complete passes and I have just gained a significant competitive advantage.
  10. This is good advice.
  11. Our corners are little guys and they have had trouble in the past against big receivers.
  12. The OP's point remains however. Tyrod's stats were heavily skewed because of a few long bombs. His play by play performance was pretty bad and consistent with Week 1. That's the alarming part, even if it was great to see those bombs connect!
  13. Yes. Pegula has demonstrated that amply time and time again.
  14. Caserio would be the perfect guy. He turned down the GM job in Miami not long ago, preferring to stay in NE. He'd likely do the same here too. If Pegula offered him total control and made him the highest paid GM in football, maybe Caserio's views on moving would change.
  15. Talking to Brady inside his helmet telling him what to do with the ball before the snap. That would be such an easy way to cheat if no one is going to police radio frequencies at games. I'm still waiting for the Bills to employ some surveillance engineers to monitor the electromagnetic spectrum at a Pats game.
  16. I would take a flyer on Cutler b/c I think it has never been "right" in Chicago for him and he is capable of more than we've seen. I bet most around here would say "Oh God no!" however.
  17. He's a combo of Prince Harry, Jenson Button, Borris Becker, and a touch of Woody Harrelson for good measure.
  18. This is where I stand too. I say 4 or 5 wins. We will have trouble beating the Fish this year.
  19. I started a thread earlier with a link to Alex Marvez's segment with John Murphy from earlier today. He was heavily critical of the firing of Roman, the timing, and indicated it was more Buffalo Bills dysfunction... Always interesting to hear objective, national, outside observations of the Bills, whatever you might think of the opinions themselves.
  20. They really weren't talking much about the D as the emphasis was on the "news" that Roman had been let go.
  21. I thought the thread title was overly narrow and that any sort of user-generated comedy poking fun at the organization would probably fit here. Is that such a crazy thought?
  22. I think your guess that we draft in the teens is way optimistic. We're going to have a worse record than that. But we'll find out soon enough.
