    And don't go to sleep.

     

    I'm telling you, with the crazies... like the really crazy ones... you don't get to sleep until you kick them out and change the locks.  

     

    Or in this case kick her out, and go to a different hotel to sleep it off. Don't go home, she may have taken your address off your licence...and start looking for a new place to live.  You never know when crazies will just show up.

  2. He's been entirely out of the league, no lifting, no cardio, no conditioning for the NFL... sure I bet he does work out, but this guy was a peak physical shape athlete who was as good as he was for as long as he was because of the workout regiment, diet, and his commitment to being ready every week.  Film, practice, weight room... 

     

    He hung them up because he felt he no longer could commit to being that level player anymore, and he was honest with himself, his team, and his family that he wanted to watch his kids grow up, and leave the game still playing at the level he was happy with.  

     

    This guy is the epitome of class and the kid of player all fans and kids should look up to.... but no he won't come back.  He left on his terms, and if he came back he would never be the same.  He got the send off of the ages from the team and fans, and he went out the way he wanted to, when he wanted to.  Getting him to come back would be selfish by fans and the team, and I think he has the level of involvement he wants, he's helping coach but still gets to go home and spend time with his kids and family. 

     

    Love meatball, but he's done.   While that's sad, it's also very happy that he was able to transition to the next phase of his life so nicely and go out how he wanted to.  It rarely happens like that.

    I echo the sentiment that it is Cousins who is trash. Look at Kyle Rudolph's numbers as well. You have one of the better TE's in the league and he has 8 targets and 4 catches for 20 yards in 3 games? It's insane. Cousins absolutely raped the Vikings for that 84 mill. 

    They would've been better off just keeping Teddy... he probably needed another year to sit and get his body right, but walking away like they did was flat out stupid. 

  4. Good read.... more and more people are starting to see what Bills Mafia (Bills fans) are all about.  While we're largely a punch line because of our antic, we've also become a curiosity and an "experience" from other fan bases and the media. 

     

    When I meet people (non-Bills fans) who come to Buffalo for games to watch their team play and see what Bills tailgating is all about, I have NEVER found someone who was disappointed.  It's an experience that is unique, weird, and spectacular all rolled into 1.  

     

    We take it for granted in a way... we love it, but we also don't totally understand how good we have it.

     

    If they build the new stadium so many people are clamoring for, this will pretty much end... the proposed sites (Aside from a new stadium across the street on ECC land) would eliminate the large sprawling areas for tailgating, private lots, and crazy atmosphere.   So beware what you wish for people... this amazing experience we all get to have every Sunday home game could come to an end and we'll be just like every other NFL city ?

  5. I think people are looking for a reason to bash Marrone here... 

     

    I mean the guy gives you reason enough like getting into a scuffle with a star player to begin with... but this interview is kind of funny and honestly doesn't need criticism.  

     

    It's already been said, but I'll repeat it... What is Marrone supposed to say in this situation?  The player faked being sick and is now faking a back problem.  The Media knows it, the coaches know it, the fans know it.... but the professional thing to do is to not acknowledge it and just move on... the Media wants a sound bite and wants to catch him in something, and he just kinda laughed and bull#### an answer.  Everyone laughed because it's a crock, but again, in a professional organization, what's the guy supposed to do?

     

    Worst thing he could do is come out and say "Yeah he's faking it."  but the owner doesn't want that, and it reduces the already non-existent leverage the Jags have to move the guy as it is... 

     

    Don't get me wrong, I hate St. Doug, and love watching the Jags crash and burn under his EXPERT leadership... that is expert at crashing a good thing... but he didn't do anything here and actually comes off as kinda funny because he's just spit balling bull#### about the situation while laughing knowing everyone in the room knows he's making it up as he goes along.

     

    Entertaining, and he is an asshat, but not because of this.

    I think it'll be the opposite.  They will remove Beasley and make Knox/Zay Jones beat them.

     

    I think they can live with the danger of bombs to Brown and Foster.  If Allen throws for over 300 yards with deep strikes, they lost to a great performance by a young quarterback.  

     

     

     

    They have faith and trust in Gilmore on the outside, I think you're 100% right, they're going to clamp down on the short game and leave their outside CBs more on an island and make Allen beat them by pushing it down field with lower percentage throws.

    Sometimes, though, the prestige of a program can propel draft prospects to higher positions in the draft than they perhaps merit by their actual play on the field.  USC QBs, Penn State LBs, and Iowa OLers seem to be examples of this.

     

    Doesn't change that that player then needs to succeed... USC for instance has had many 1st round QBs but I would argue only Carson Palmer has been a good NFL QB.. some journeymen who made careers but Palmer is the cream of that crop, our own Matt Barkley included.

     

    It's the QB that matters, the school may lend something to draft position, but it doesn't make the guy a better QB.  Sure he may have played a higher level of competition, but in college they're all system QBs for the most part...  only a few really transcend the sport to be more, and those guys always go 1 overall like Luck or Manning before him.

    Kroft is already on the roster - we do not need a spot for him.


     

    I don’t think they can get rid of an Olineman right now with Feliciano hurt and Ty getting banged up weekly.

     

    You need the Oline depth and you should be ok activating either of the guys on the Dline to fill in for Harry.

     

    They have plenty of O-Line....

     

    Dawkins - Spain - Morse - Feliciano - Ty

    McDermott - Long - Bates - Boettger - Ford

     

    If you cut Boettger you still have McDermott (OT) Ford (OT/OG), Long (OG/C), and Bates (OT/OG/C)... more than enough depth with guys who can all play multiple positions. 

     

    If Feliciano can't go, you start Ford at RG and Ty at RT (which they should do anyways). You still have Long and Bates active as your interior backups and McDermott as your backup OT.  

     

    If Ty then goes down you'd rotate over Ford to RT, and kick Long in at OG.  For rotation or disaster situation you still have Bates and McDermott to rotate in for the interior and edges of the line. 

     

    That's how they will do it regardless of if Boettger is on the team, the guy hasn't been active for 3 weeks.  

     

    The Bills are an anomaly having this many linemen, most teams carry 8, we care carrying 9.

    Such a tired point to make.  Question.  Has Wyoming?  Has Duke?  Had Clemson before Watson?  Don't get me wrong, Jameis is a terrible face of the franchise, but it has nothing to do with where he went to school.

     

    It's true of every College that they have not produced a good NFL QB, until they do!  Then all of a sudden are they a "QB factory"?  Of course not! 

     

    It's about the player and what they do when they get to the NFL, not the college.

  10. If it were me, I would activate both and cut Ike Boettger... they are going to need rotation on the line for the Pats anyways, and Phillips was playing outstanding in both penetration and gap filling.

     

    Add both guys to the active roster and start a 5 man rotation rather than a 4 man rotation using Taylor and Peko situtationally based on their strengths.  

     

    When you have a gluttony of skill like we had coming in with Star, Phillips, Phillips and Oliver you can have just 4 DTs, but when you're trying to figure out your situation because of injury IMHO you're better off having more bodies and giving both guys a shot rather than just 1.

     

    If they are doing this, since we would need to cut someone, I would promote one in Harry's spot since he's going to IR, but I would wait until Thursday or Friday to promote the other one and make the corresponding roster move to cut someone.  That will severely limit the Pats ability to sign the guy we cut and pump him for information.

    Will probably need a DL, doubt we resign Shaq. He's gonna get a nice contract from someone.

     

    Yeah I think our #1 need this upcoming off-season is pass rush DE.  Whether they go out and pay for one or they draft one in the 1st, I think they know they need it badly.  They kicked the tires on Trey Flowers in FA, and they were in the Clowney sweepstakes from a lot of accounts... I think they know what they need, and they will address it, but not over-pay for it.

    Just a clarification, are you saying we don't address any other position in rounds 1-3?
    A this juncture I still think a WR in rounds 1-3 is a priority,

     

    No just that in round 1 2 or 3 we;ll look for another starter for the O-Line like we did with Ford.  I'm not saying all 3 picks will be O-Line, I should've been more clear.
