How about you be their new HC at $10 MIL/YR? That guy hasn’t won anything in forever. You have a good record here, I’m sure you’d nail that job. Let me know if you need references, I will be your greatest admirer.

I’m only talking about very long kicks, which don’t even have to be made to earn points.

It would affect ST because you’d want to have a guy back there to prevent that generally (I think?), but what does that open you up to? I think of that as a CFL Power Play if they put a man back to avoid that point. Do they have an empty net play as well? Maybe put a Safety in snow shoes? We do that sometimes! I kid, I love our neighbors living in our attic. Kathleen Madigan does a very funny bit on that. I seem to recall the Chiefs used to put a super tall guy who could really jump back at the goalposts on long FGAs. Anyone else remember that?

Even if he doesn’t become a huge contributor this year, it sure would be nice for him to get some experience at full speed with live bullets this season. The injury was a bummer, but that stuff happens. The more play he can get this year, the more it will help prepare him for next year. If he can be a big help this year, I’ll think of that as icing on the cake. Not to mention, if we were a drought era team starting roles would be much easier to come by. It’s not easy to make an immediate mark on a Super Bowl favorite team.

I’m not willing to go there 3 games into their first season. I don’t know how they will turn out, but I do know that now is too soon to decide. .

If we are going by the Good QB Count, they may need to consider contraction.

I’m not wasting time getting bogged down in semantics regarding how you personally define “cheating”, but it’s not even inadvertent like a false start. The rules were intentionally violated and you can be penalized for that.

If you violate the rules, it’s cheating and subject to penalty. It’s quite simple, and that goes across sports. That just how that works. You may see some things as more egregious than others, but cheating is cheating and the penalty associated with it reflects how ”serious” it is. This penalty was actually called (on our opponent) when I was in 5th grade playing little league. That’s a strangely vivid memory. If it’s against the rules, I have to expect that you might have a flag thrown in your honor.

This is going to be a serious bummer for those who invested heavily in pink slips.

I think this is the answer, and I’m a bit surprised by the numbers. A PS guy in the NFL makes a lot more than a typical CFL player. AI Overview An NFL practice squad is significantly more lucrative than playing in the CFL ; even a practice squad player with no prior NFL experience will earn a minimum of $13,000 per week, totaling $234,000 for the 18-week season, whereas the average CFL salary is around $110,000 CAD for the entire season. A CFL salary can range from about $30,000 CAD for a rookie to potentially $250,000 CAD for a star player, but this pales in comparison to NFL practice squad earnings.

I know there are some, but I’m really surprised we don’t see more guys getting signed from the CFL.

I did not know that, so it’s worth repeating. For better or worse, I have spoken with people from this board I’ve never met, and they needed something better than me in the wee hours of the morning. If you think you might need help, that might get you pointed in the right direction. .

Yes, we are currently big fans, and we’d like a free one week trial. Next week? Not so sure yet. We’ll have to wait and see. 🤷‍♂️ It’s a combination of good coaching and more investment in the OLine. It takes both, but we have both. Now they are working on the other side of the line, and the offseason investment does not feel like what we’ve done in the past. They want to win the LOS on both sides of the ball. Win the LOS and have a good QB and you can go a long way. .

I certainly hope not. He’s a guy who is really good at playing football. He also seems to be a really good person, but that’s nothing to be star struck over. If he’s at a table at a restaurant, I would hope people would just leave him alone. I’d be disappointed there, of course. Being rich is the good part of being rich and famous. We’ve known some famous people, and going out in public becomes a problem.

But are they really falling for it? We have BILLS FANS siding with Tom Brady above.

There is a lot more to football than a box score. BTW, I caught one of those cheap Voit footballs from our former NFL punter/Gym teacher in middle school and got a bone bruise on the base of my left thumb. The pain when you bumped that thing could have made me pass out, and it lasted forever. A retired pediatric neuroradiologist once told me on a scale of 1-10, a bone bruise is like a 5, and a break starts about a 6. It’s a very real and very painful thing.

Oh goodness! My wife finally found a hat to fit my giant noggin at the Bills store for the opener, but I never…..looked….beneath. Ya know? I know exactly where the hat is. Why does it feel creepy to go look?

Please don’t speak for me. And I doubt I’m alone. I always care about the Bills, and I always will as long as I’m alive and they are in WNY. But I am caring less about the NFL as a whole over time. I’m not stomping my feet and having a rant, it just gets a smaller piece of my pie chart each year. It’s not emotional, it’s very simple.

We spent almost a week driving around WNY recently, and I never once put on WGR radio. I’m not sure if it was because I didn’t want to hear it, or if I was a little curious but wouldn’t do it because I was afraid my wife would think less of all of us.

It really would be hysterical, because there is such an enormous gray area, and literally countless options. I’d especially enjoy the league’s reaction as gamblers started getting angry. I didn’t used to understand Booing Goodell at the Draft……until the last few years. I’d like to see him talk his way out of another mess.

This is the last, and I mean the very last, place anyone should say pics or it didn’t happen. Good for you on the results. .

Maybe the logo is standard size, but it’s a hat for people with really small heads? 🤷‍♂️

Jack Kemp’s wife was Judy, I think, and his son was Jeff. I think he had a J sister or two as well. That could be off, just an odd recollection. Bonus Trivia: Which NFL QB missed 3 games because he broke his hand punching Jim Kelly in the head? AI Overview In 1997, while quarterbacking for the Indianapolis Colts, Jim Harbaugh punched former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly, fracturing a bone in Harbaugh's own throwing hand. The incident occurred after Kelly publicly questioned Harbaugh's toughness, leading Harbaugh to confront Kelly at an NBC production meeting. The fight resulted in a broken hand for Harbaugh, costing him the Colts' next three games and three paychecks. Harbaugh later expressed regret for throwing the punch but said he acted to defend his toughness.

Well, the Jets travel to Orchard Park every year, so it IS possible for them to gain entry into our fair state. They say we live in “upstate NY”, but we are really in Western NY. They are the New York Jets, playing in New Jersey. I have a Canadian friend who is much better at US Geography (and history, fwiw) than the Jets or the Giants, apparently.

That’s why they play the games, and also why the circus still travels the country to entertain the masses.
