For the Pre Season Buffalo Springfield There's something happening here. What it is Ain't exactly clear.

If my thought about Ertz is waiting it out until his wife plays in Olympics is correct. I was curious about the dates. Bill camp starts 27th, practice 30th. Women’s soccer 21st, if they go as far as gold medal game, Aug 5th. If there is a signing it likely will be after their last game. At this point it may be about optics to the fans, if he signs and does not report or we let him off hook. It’s more acceptable for a guy to hold out to the fans, to not report, to go to olympics would be indefensible. This may be a reason we do not see any movement now.

Just a quick thought and prediction, after seeing Julie Ertz in an Olympic commercial during Hockey Game. Ertz likely not reporting to Eagles or signing any deal until after the Olympics. Will avoid camp and gets to go watch his wife. The wait continues.

Was at game, Agee with experience of original post. My thoughts are if Bills were not adhering to State’s rules and expectations we would be shut down with fans until Covid is over. For the greater good of all fans, you suck it up or as poster stated choose not to go next time.

4 west coast trips and a London trip makes year even tougher. Likely a bills home game too. To bad it is not one of the west coast teams.

What I find strange is a rookie with no veteran leader, Diabol is in the box but a veteran needs him on the sideline.

Does this question go back to the thread on Zay's mom tweeting he has to tell benjamin where to line up. At one point yesterday there was mention of Benjamin gettining into it on the sideline with his position coach. I am wondering if this is after one of the penalties and the problems are linked.

Foles wanted to retire prior to this year. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nick-foles-says-he-had-no-love-for-the-game-and-wanted-to-retire-from-the-nfl/ Foles knew Pederson from his last stint in Philly and that is why he decided to play there.

Todd Haley will likely never consider Buffalo even with an offer. I remember this from last year, best friends with Lynn. http://www.espn.com/blog/afcnorth/post/_/id/90195/anthony-lynn-todd-haley-brothers-for-life-after-lynn-dodged-death Would not be surprised if he landed on Lynn's staff in San Diego.

Was looking around online and came across this quote with link. (Chad like him when he played for him but said this) Pennington’s one concern was that Saban named Daboll quarterbacks coach as well as offensive coordinator. He said he wasn’t sure about the coach’s ability to help QB Jalen Hurts with his technique or mechanics. “They may be doing that in the future,” Pennington said. “I don’t think (Daboll’s) expertise is in fundamental quarterback work or being a quarterback technician. I do think he can improve the quarterback from a scheme and read perspective.” https://www.seccountry.com/alabama/nfl-qbs-rave-alabama-brian-daboll So his choice of QB coach may be critical. Not an endorsement as a QB coach. He appears to be more geared toward, power man blocking schemes. That fits our personnel better. https://www.tidesports.com/brian-daboll-alabama-offense-analysis/

Did they win this year because of the D or because Deboll had a true freshman quarterback ready of the bench. Just sayin...

If is Chuzinski, you may end up with Sanjay Lal and Brian Schottenhiemer

Here are the Indy Coaches. http://www.colts.com/team/coaches.html Sanjay Lal receivers coach. He was well liked here, maybe what Zay needs. Perhaps if it’s Chudzinski he will bring him along. Brian Schottenheimer could also be included, he has had success before.

Would Kubiak consider an Asst Head Coach for O and QB development, with play calling duty and Dennison stays on as OC? Maybe a viable solution.

Stock up on tables? Sorry too old for that, Crossing my fingers, saying my prayers for the Front office to win the off season, better than Rex did.

In the Team video Rick Reilly discredits the Bills in those years because the AFC was weak and NFC strong. In those four years our in season NFC record was 14-2. We earned every one of those Super Bowls.

If you remember the days when the Jerry Lewis MD telethon was on, Buffalo was as city they telecast in. It was not a national broadcast. If I am not mistaken we would out give the major cities out there. I am not talking per capita but strait dollars. They knew then and we proved it again now.

More similarity to the 1980 team. That year we finally beat Miami to breat that streak. The fans stormed the field to tear down the goalpost. We went to the playoffs after a seven year drought. The fans stood in the cold and met the team at the airport. Joe Ferguson played in the playoff game on a broken ankle. Part of what created his legend. Maybe Shady? The first Super Bowl was that feeling multiplied. The response from our fans is unmatched. The gathering to support our first Super Bowl loss, the greetings at the airport, tearing down goalpost( happened more than once), the donation to Andy Dalton’s foundation, no other fan base would do this. Although newer generation, things have not changed. Thanks to all for your passion.

Dunkirk, thanks for the insight but I beat you to this prediction. If Schwartz end up in NY, Hughes is part of the package for the number 2 pick.

If this happens who could we package for the 2nd pick, you got it Jerry Hughes.

Also his agent

On the subject of punting and onside kicks. Here is article of a. HS who did not punt and used 7 variations of the os kick to win a state title. http://highschool.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=892888 Some articles talking about punting. http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/sportingscene/2012/08/to-punt-or-not-to-punt.html http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/19/sports/football/calculating-footballs-risk-of-not-punting-on-fourth-down.html Paper analyzing punting in NFL sited in articles. http://emlab.berkeley.edu/users/dromer/papers/PAPER_NFL_JULY05_FORWEB_CORRECTED.pdf Go for it!

John Wooden one of the most successful coaches in any sport expected the speed and precision of practice to exceed game speed. He wanted the game to be in slow motion. It afforded better conditioning, knowing assignments and reads better. I have seen him in video of practice comment when things were done right to just do it faster. He would use the phrase "be quick but don't hurry". With quickness precision is the when you hurry you become sloppy. I love the application of this to a football practice.

In my first post, this is the type of thing I was talking about. I really like your thoughts. If you don't want to only rely on end of game stats you could add any drive when score is within 7. Completion percentage when blitzed, with zone or man coverage or both. Including, yardage distance short or beyond gaining fist down on play. Taking sacks or turnovers would also have to be included. I think, metrics like this would help define poise under pressure, abitly to make reads when pressured that provide positive results. Keeping drives alive is the name of the game.
