[NFL Arbitrator finds Goodell encouraged collusion between teams to reduce Veteran Guarantees]

In my opinion, Goodell's advice to avoid guaranteed money was motivated by the fact that teams can get burned by those types of contracts and as a result are not putting the best possible teams on the field.  And that is not good for the health of the NFL.  Of course, Cleveland is the worst example of this, but Buffalo and a lot if other teams have suffered the same way. As commissioner, Goodell and the NFL is healthy when every team is playing to its full potential without carrying deadweight on its roster.

[Training camp schedule & ticket info released!]

With my luck, I will probably never get to another training camp. After 30 plus years trying to get tickets to the Masters at Augusta, I finally won the lottery and got two golden tickets.  Guess what , it was the year of COVID and they cancelled the event. I'm cursed when it comes to lotteries.

[McDermott not in Top 10 of NFL coaches per PFF.]

Unfortunately, he is being downgraded, because he has a super talented QB,  an all around better than average total team package, and not taken the Bills to the super bowl.  We know as Bill's fans a lot of things happened, reasons why they haven't made it to the big game, many of which were not McDermott's fault, but the head coach and the GM are always going take the blame.

[What Are You Most Excited About This Coming Season?]

The rookies,  I'm thinking and hoping that 2 or 3 of them are going to be very involved in the Bill's new defense.

[Outside of Josh Allen, Who Is Your Favorite Player On the Roster??]

Spencer Brown

[Josh Allen in the NFL Hall of Fame]

Not counting a Super bowl victory, how much more would Josh have to accomplish to be elected to the Hall of Fame?

[Who was invited to Josh and Hailee's wedding?]

I wonder if someone is taping the whole thing, the wedding and reception.  If so, and made public, I would love to see it.

[Kincaid - what happened?]

Comparing Kincaid to Laporta or Bowers is like comparing apples to oranges.  Laporta is one of 2 or 3 viable receivers on the Lions.  The same is true with Bowers on the Raiders.   Right from day one, they were primary targets because of the other talents or lack of talent on their respective teams.  With the Bills, Allen has the talent and arm to go to several different targets and be successful.  The Bills philosophy of "everybody eats" will probably mean that we won't ever have a true #1 receiver or tight end.  Just my opinion.

[Allen wins MVP]

Well earned.  Along with Josh's parents, I had tears of joy streaming down my face as Josh made his acceptance speech.

[Washington @ Philadelphia - NFC Championship Game thread]

can't believe the Giants let him go.

[Dalton Kincaid- why so underwhelming this season?]

It seems obvious that the Bills don't want a number one receiver or tight end.  They want to spread it out so that on any given Sunday the opposition has no idea who is going to be on the receiving end of josh's passes.  It could be any of 9 or 10 guys.  Laporta is in an entirely different situation.  He is one of 3 or 4 guys that Goff targets.

[Who is Buffalo's most under rated player?]

I think we have several ( many) underrated players,  but Mack Hollins has made several game changing plays along with Ty Johnson and Dawson Knox.

[How much better would JA's stats have been if he played 100% of the snaps?]

Or, if like a few other teams, Buffalo chooses to leave the starters in the game and continue to run up the score.  

[How much better would JA's stats have been if he played 100% of the snaps?]

You're probably correct if you average it out, but if you consider the times when Josh was benched, it was when the Bills were totally dominating the other team and Josh's TD's and yardage would have probably doubled.

[How much better would JA's stats have been if he played 100% of the snaps?]

Not that stats are the most important thing, but it is a thing.  According to Buffalo's stats Trubisky appeared in 9 games.  I wonder how many quarters Josh is sitting on the bench because they didn't need to or want to run up the score.  How many more TD's or more total yards would Josh have had?

[Will the Jets and the Patriots be tanking the last two games?]

We are concerned about who we should sit or play the last two games, but what will be the mindset for the Jets and the Pats?  Will they be tanking for better draft positions?

[Bills All Pro 1st team]

Jim Kelly was great.  But if Josh was the QB of that team with the talent on that team, we would have had 4+ Lombardi trophies.

[Where would Jim Kelly in his prime rank amongst todays QBs?]

Totally disagree with the statements that Jim Kelly didn't have the arm strength compared to today's QBs.  You think Tua or Russell Wilson have stronger arms than Kelly had.  Wrong, and there are others today that are fairly successful that don't throw as well as Jim did.

[12/15/24 Week 15 Bills @ Lions Game Post Game Thread]

Can you believe?   When Josh gets his next rushing touchdown, he will tie Thurman Thomas for career rushing TD's.  He is an alien.

[TNF Rams @ 49ers]

Stafford , what drug were you on last week?

["Josh Allen is an alien."]

I thought it was hilarious that it what was coach Sean McVay's description of Josh.  Maybe, he is.

[Quarterbacks and "fake slide" controvery]

Maybe the QB could raise his arm (like calling for a fair catch) when going to slide.  If he doesn't raise his arm he's going to be tackled. Seems to me to be an easy solution.

[Thursday Night Football - Vikings at Rams]

terrible, terrible ending to a game.  

[Pats vs Jags in London game thread]

great play

 

[Where's Cole Bishop?]

Nico Collins is one of the best receivers in the NFL and has burned quite a few veteran safeties in the league, as well as Bishop, give the kid a break.  There aren't any DB's in the league that don't get beat occasionally, even the best all-pros.  Good wr's are just too talented and have the advantage.
