I feel that way, not just with the Super Bowl, but football in general. I still like it, but I don't feel the magic I used to. I attribute it to getting older.
I have enjoyed college more recently than 20 years ago when you knew who the winner was generally before the game started. Take away Bama and Clemson and every other game has a chance to be great. In the NFL the officiating has made it boring to watch unless ypu really care about teams.

They will not cut Lotulelei, nor should they. They vastly overpaid and he's not a great player by any stretch of the imagination, but he's serviceable. If they could go back in time, they may do things differently. As it stands right now, he'll be here for a couple seasons. Cap space is pretty irrelevant as it may be tough to even approach the number.
Part of the star equation is who replaces him? They need a space eater which he does well. If he could do more he would be all pro.

I do not read this with any kind of expectations since so many trades will happen by then, these kind of things mean about as much as ones done before the season. wait to see who is signed in free agency and then start looking. But Ed Oliver is gonna drop unless someone falls in love because he is talented but appears to be a head case.

Buffalo Timmy -- I agree with you 100%. Players like Sanders, LT or even most recently Barkley would be worthy. Emmitt is a prime example of what an OL can do. Not saying he wasn't good, but I think his greatest ability was durability. Draft and develop the best OL possible, then watch all the skill position players flourish!
I literally just had this conversation with an 18 year old cowboy fan. I told him to ask his Dad for one game where you finished game and said "thank God we got Emmitt" because he could not think of one-though he is young. Kid also said Barkley is worthy of my consideration-I did not see it this year but his team was awful so hard to tell. But clearly you are bright man so I will give the Barkley kid another look.

I liked Kurt Schultz. He was a thumper.
I have to vote for Kurt since during a game he was playing in at rich stadium me and my brothers were insulting him up and down to find out that his parents were sitting behind us. And then they show the replay of " his worst play" and clearly he was doing it right but the official blew the call. We spent the rest of game apologizing for blasting him to his parents.

Seeing how important the offensive line is to the back i would never draft a rb in top 15 picks unless i thought i was getting Barry Sanders or LT. IMO the only guys you take in top 10 are qbs, and O or D lineman unless you think they are truly special such as Ray Lewis or Randy Moss. I know there are not enough guys to fill the top 10 this way so i would likely have issues as a GM.

Any rationale to Luck being shutout by the Chiefs until garbage time?
You are really hanging onto that narrative that Luck is not good? Luck is a great QB when healthy- which he was this year- but is unreliable.

Cash will be obsolete within 10 years, so that's no surprise.
I'm more concerned about the transition timeframe at MeadCoin Field to a Meadcoin only policy.
In all seriousness, we're really jumping the gun here. Quite possible NE Field will remain NE Field.
It will remain new era as long as they pony up the cash for the naming rights. New Era moved most of their production out of Buffalo 20 years ago.

Will they accept credit cards/cash or strictly Meadcoins? Probably need a year or two to fully implement a Meadcoin only policy. People are resistant to change.
Tampa bay rays just changed to a cashless only stadium policy. Not really related but wpuld be more possible them you think

This is good info but is there anything about longer term trends? Did you do this yourself?
-
I doubt it could be done but if they offered a 2nd and 3rd and we traded them our 7th I would do it but I would not even consider it for just a 2nd and us giving them a 5th. to move up three rounds should not cost that kind of cash.

Maybe I’m emotional on that point?
I think we would be screwing them if we could get a 1st this year. THAT makes me feel better

If only the refs were full time the results would be better.
I do not understand why you believe this- MLB umps only got better when they were graded on their balls and strikes. The way you improve it is to grade and fire poor officials. Also demanding officials be in better shape will help them be in better position to make calls. Lastly punish those who make up calls whole cloth much worse than those who miss calls.

No that's a good point. I just think they should be immersed in their job. They should all know the rulebook inside out. They should all watch tape and critique what they do and how they do it. This is partly a mindset. Are you a ref or are you a lawyer who plays a ref on Sundays?
I agree- a few years back the seahawks and lions game ended when the ball was clearly punched out of bounds intentionally with the official clearly seeing it. No call and i think it is because he did not know the rule.
Just now, Augie said:Do we have to resort to PGA style justice? Fans watching on TV calling in to say “Umm, actually, NRC is NOT allowed to smack him in the head while never looking back and the ball is still 5 yards away.” The PGA would fix that! (But don’t clap too loud!) ?
Man could you imagine? The games would take 6 hours for one drive with all the calls coming in.

Devil’s advocate here....if they have enough angles, like the Edelman did he or din’t he touch it, that gets a lot more reliable. (But hey, I’m still not sure if he touched it, but I think they probably got it right?)
As for MORE refs? The NRC PI was sandwhiched by two refs. I think there is a herd mentality. If one guy had thrown the flag, the other would have launched immediately. But the reverse turned out to be the case.
I thought the edelman touch/ no touch play was indicative of the issue with the current situation. They called on field he touched it and no angle showed definitely he did not but they overturned it. I do not think it touched him but i am not sure by any standard.

Why southern schools? Do you know of a difference that people in the south have about their children vs other parts of the country?
In the south we allow our kids to play football and in the north you allow kids to sit on a couch and play video games while clogging arteries- both have major long term implications but we allow anyways.

This sounds personal so i will tread lightly but when are you forced to buy insurance right now by the government? You can go with health insurance, without home insurance and you only need car insurance if you drive.

I am so confused on why someone calls others liars when they say they will not watch, it is not the Bills in the game. I did not watch last year and will not watch this year because overall games have not been entertaining and officiating is atrocious. I watched 4th qtrs yesterday only and saw three calls in 30+ minutes of game time that should cause an official to lose their jobs and these are the best they have.

Brady has already cemented his legacy and plated it in gold. at this point he's just adding diamonds
Brady s legacy is easy and set but it depends on your perspective-if the cheating bothers you he is a cheater if you are not bothered then he is the greatest ever. I watched a funny think of ESPN where it said in his first 5 years it seemed like he knew what a defense was doing before they did it.

The NFL has to be horrified by the attention on the officials today in both games. Phantom calls here and obvious misses earlier. they all look incompetent.

Correct me if I am wrong. But I thought the ref who wasn't in the atea cannot throw a flag?
I am not saying you are wrong but it would have to be a fairly recent change. When at games i often was pissed when the away official would call something that someone closer could see better. Normally it is closest but i am pretty sure it does not have to be.

Clear evidence today by that atrocious missed DPI. The worst missed call I have ever seen in a football game and its not even debatable. Obviously, the refs were instructed to manipulate the game for a favorable Rams outcome.
There will be corruption in any organization with a lot of $$$$ - I have no doubt there is funny business happening within the NFL FO.
My disagreement is based on when did you see good officiating This year? If the problem is consistent throughout the year it is most likely simply the officials are old men with bad eye sight who are constantly out of position to make proper calls. The NFL has truly become the worst officiating pro league in America.

Nfl might fine him for calling out the horrible officiating- also officials might be watching him extra tight in 2 weeks.
-
I keep coming with guys who kept getting injured so that might be why. I thoigh think a guy from 90s that i remember catching well out of backfield but not getting ball much was Sam Gash- he hit guys so hard on the run plays they generally left him wide open on pass plays. My memory migjt be distorted but i think i am right.

Every team has the same amount of cap money. The Bills (nor anyone else) have a meaningful financial advantage. The teams that win are the one's that get "more bang for the buck", in other words players who produce more than they take up in cap space (Brady's below market contracts are a huge part of the Patriots advantage over the years). So far, the current Bills management has not shown a propensity to find players in either the draft nor free agency who outperform their cap hit.
When you have 70 million in dead cap you are at an disadvantage even if it is completely self inflicted. Most of that 70 million was absorbed by the offense this past year. Next year we should have more proven talent on the offense.
-
Looking this team from a financial perspective our top paid offensive players are shady, KB and clay who all played well below expectations. We spent no money on offensive line also. This team has the most important part i think in Allen and they need to build around him and can quickly with tje cash and draft capital we have.
Would/could the Bills go for another Houston former number one overall pick in FA?

I agree completely with 1- since it will be at least a 6year contract most likely. Second one i could deal with if first one would not be so high.
