What's a catch is also a fumble?

Yep. It's not going anywhere.

I believe Taylor thinks he's only going to get better. I would be surprised if he wants to sign a deal after this year unless its in the 20m a year category. I'm sure we could get a Kap type structure though.

Just looking at how good they are at their position. Watkins Sanborn McCoy Dareus Felton It's sort of hard to know when you don't really get to see them play. But I love guessing games. Lavar Edwards Ryan Groy Josh Johnson Randall Johnson Can I count the Gay Carpenter situation as one? Is either to blame for not being able to do the others job?

What's the upside? A deal I guess. But If TT turns out to be the next Brady we'll pay him or tag him or whatever it takes to keep him and the $ don't really matter since we finally have the answer at QB. T If he turns out to be average no one will be chomping at the bit, and we'll pay him a reasonable salary. We're only 3/4s through his first starting season, and he missed a couple of games, what's the rush to commit before we really see what he can do? You really wanna pay him less than he's worth and have him unhappy?

I'm not sure if this is for real or not?

I think at least part of the problem is that we KNOW what happened now, and with prior video tech we were mostly just guessing. The number of plays and calls that we're tough to call based on the video evidence was much much larger even just 10 years ago, now we can almost always tell for sure, and because of that we want a perfectly called game which will never really happen when humans are doing the officiating. while watching it live.

I'm glad you said it so I didn't have to. Humans are humans and they will let their bias out, and many will cheat but a league wide conspiracy theory is ludicrous.

No.

A bigger body?

We'd be lucky if they just absorbed the cap. Maybe we can swap 7ths.

Did you just quote yourself within the original post? That's nuts!

If you're still a Bills fan you should know better than to say things like that . . .

It would be great if they could draft a QB. I don't need it to be in the first, but hopefully not lower than the fourth. Taylor's at least good enough that we can afford to have him ride the bench for a long time and just see where we are at. It sure seems like we need a back up after EJ's last start and spending a decent pick to get one seems like a smart move.

lol . . . its really only the players who are studying 12+ hours a day . . . basically are only interested in the one thing . . .

It's definitely a tough question once you accept the premise that you need to justify it. If we accept that we need to and I don't believe we do here are a couple points that I think are very relevant: 1. Total dedication to anything will ruin you. It doesn't really matter what it is. Dancers ruin their feet, gymnests ruin their knees. I'm a huge chess fan, by all accounts this is an activity that is almost universally held to be good for you, but for those who engage in it at higher levels of competition it is not. A shocking percentage of the best players suffer from mental illness late in life, which is really quite unusual as those things normally present themselves before 30. 2. Football has become relatively upfront about the dangers. Parents, children, and adult players are aware of the risk. 3. The greatest exposure to possible injury comes as an adult instead of as a child. This is different from activities like dancing and gymnastics where lots of damage to the body occurs without much of a chance to consent. Certainly this doesn't make the news as much, chronic joint pain, and bad feet aren't great headlines but we are talking about lifelong consequences to very young people. 4. Football is awesome. it's fun to play, its fun to watch, and just because there's a serious cost doesn't mean its not worth it. Either way its not our decision, its a personal decision for those who choose to play. Sure it has its problems but at least we're trying. We want it to be safer, we might not succeed but when you're talking about an ethical or moral issue effort does count for something. From the league to the players to the fans to the media we would all like it to be safer, we (for the most part) don't want players getting hurt. Getting hurt is a side effect not the point.

More and more it looks like KC will count twice.

I have them all the time . . . 38 - 3 Bills.

He's practically admitted as much.

Maybe you made me change my mind, at first I thought I didn't like them being tradeable. Do teams that do poorly get vastly more comp picks? It seems like the Pats* always have comp picks . . .

Betting at these sites definitely isn't gambling. Winning regularly is not related to luck. The reason I don't think it should be legal is I don't think it's related to skill either, its related to knowledge and computer algorithms that most people don't have access too. It's a swindle.

If Spiller had been our QB for that game we would have.

I feel like there are a half dozen guys not on an NFL roster who could have gotten us to 6-3. Whaley makes good decisions, he can't predict the future.
