Those Chargers teams did win 5 division titles in a row but one of those was an 8-8 year. It was a good run. They were not as good as these Bills teams with the exception of the 2006 team which shouls have won the Superbowl.

But that's my point. You need a consesnus for someone to be the heir apparent. And if there was Roger wouldn't be able to get them out. Roger is there until the owners don't want him to be. And if they had idenfitied who was next, that person would be in the organisation.

I am saying if the guys being "pushed out" were guys the owners genuinely saw as the heir apparent they wouldn't be getting pushed out.

If they wanted that they'd have it. Wheyher Goodell wants it or not.

I saw AJE the same coming out. But I think you are slightly underselling how explosive he is now. The best bit of his game since he reshaped his physique is his explosiveness off the ball. The reason it doesn't convert to more sacks and pressures is he lacks big time bend and really doesn't have an array of pass rush moves. His technique is still that of a bull rusher with the body and first step now of a speed rusher.

But unless that younger guy is as effective as Goodell at increasing revenues it's a false economy. In the last fifteen years the league has gone from an annual revenue of $8bn to an annual revenue of $23bn. No other sports league anywhere in the world is even close. The owners are not risking that kind of growth profile to save a few million a year on a commissioner's salary.

The only point at which Goodell needs to worry about his bosses looking for fresh blood is when he stops increasing their revenues. Obviously at some point age becomes a factor. But it isn't yet. He could easily do another 4 or 5 years as long as his health remains good.

This is simply not true.

I had a prior engagement.

And yet despite all that (and I don't disagree btw) his play on the field was still a clear regression in 2024 from 2023. I understand why he got thr 2nd contract but @BillsFanForever19 is right. He shoukd have been 5th priority if the 5. He is the most replaceable and plays a non-premium position.

I am not trying to say a lot about them. I think Sanders is the best if a bad bunch.

Haha. It is always my ice breaker for corportate away days.... two truths and a lie type games... I scored a winning goal in an FA Cup tie. It's true. It was just the Extra-Preliminary round in August, 3 months before professional teams enter and 8 months before the final.

Bryce Brown's fumble and then Jamal Charles touchdown from 4th and 1 at midfield. That was the worst game for me. 2014. Win that game and Marrone almost certainly ends the drought. And the Bills were better than KC that day. Beat themselves.

No I think that is right. By midseason I think that was the view. I don't think he is either.

Yes. Among that crowd? Yes I am.

I suspect he is more on about the flirting with other women on a boat his girlfriend is also on. And I agree with Aaron Quinn on that. Don't presume everyone's relationship has to work in a traditional manner. Let people live how they wanna live. The drugs is a different issue but looking at the tweet he replied to not sure that is what Aaron meant. Bowie was bisexual. He had multiple male partners. There are rumours about Jagger but unsubstantiated I think.

We will see. If Flacco starts this year it will be a walking disaster. I guarantee you.

I am not that high in Sanders either. The difference between us here is you think the corpse of Joe Flaccon can still play. I don't. Not even a little bit. Yea but you hear people talk about the first half of that season and they were not sure he was the best QB on the roster. Most talented, yep. But he still had some kinks and Smith was playing good ball.

You can sit a guy who is clearly the best guy for 2 weeks. Or 3 weeks. You can't do it much beyond that. Your locker room won't buy it and frankly the guy who is better and sitting won't buy it either. You might have been able to do that 25 years ago. You can't today. I didn't love Sanders either (although I did have a day 2 grade). But I think the rest of the options suck. And he will end up comfortably the best guy on that roster. And I do mean comfortably.

Sure. But when someone is clearly the best Quarterback on the roster not having them play is never the right decision.

Nor me. I can't do boats. The first wobble and I hurl.

And then Miami claimed him off waivers I think. If he made it through waivers I expected the Bills to try and bring him back.

Been saying it since the draft - The best QB on that roster is Sanders. And yet he is not gonna get a shot at the job. Only in Cleveland.

Oh that it were only celebs though. I know people who have lost jobs because of dumb stuff they have done when partying and a video emerges on facebook or whatever. I guess I just an old man shouting at the clouds. But if I could wind the clock back on social media I would happily do so.

I don't condone anyone doing drugs, I agree, they ruin untold lives. But I agree on the social media has ruined partying. Everyone has to be on their guard the whole time. I've done some stupid ***** when drunk or just when in high spirits with my friends back in the day. Luckily "picture phones" as well called them could only snap stills and you had to be very, very still or you just got a blur and if you tried to send it to anyone it took about a week to upload.
