I've seen this thought expressed a bunch of times - but why would Daboll want to tether himself to Trubisky for his first HC shot?

It's not a good comparison because Bruce is consistent. He'll call out Tom Brady just as surely as the 6th WR.

Any "conspiracy" would likely favor us this season. Yes - Pats/Bucs would be the best SB matchup from a ratings standpoint. But the TV contracts don't expire until 2033 so that is mostly moot. The Bills are, however, negotiating with NYS for a new stadium. Having the Bills go on a run could result in more interest from non-diehard Giants fans in Upstate NY and make the state ponying up lots of cash more palatable.

Fins Up! Given how close the AFC teams are, strength of schedule might come into play so I hope they win out. Especially since they play the Titans and Pats in their last two games.

Apparently yes, but he clarifies in the replies that the local affiliate (in this case owned by FOX) might be involved in the negotiations:

He still can be, thankfully on the Giants message boards during their drought!

I think this is more about Carolina. SF, Philly & Min all look more likely to be competitive for the 6-7 NFC slots at this point.

Experiment with taking Daboll out of the booth and on the sideline. He and Allen have a good relationship, it would be good for the team to have Daboll talk with him face to face when he gets frustrated or overly emotional. He'd need this skill as a HC anyways, so why not start now?

Fair, but both teams are right in the thick of the playoff hunt. Pitt has a huge fanbase and Herbert is a budding star the league would like to showcase. We have the NBC team 4 days later too, so they likely would have flexed another game if they had to.

Really enjoy their broadcast, but they should be more flexible with their guests - as in keeping the good ones on longer and giving the hook to bad ones quicker. Drew Brees was awful on Monday as he was loath to give even the tiniest bit of criticism to the Saints.

Our league does team defense and 2 IDPs, highly recommend it.

Wow at the FOX schedule. This must be one of the worst slate of games ever for this early in the season. At least we got the "best" option.

The NFL scheduling system is mostly fine IMO but the AFCE has been a complete outlier for almost 20 years. The only close 2 division races since the 2003 season were the 2009 or 10 Jets vs Pats then the Brady injury year. 2019 was somewhat close - but not really - the Pats finished 2 games ahead and beat us both times. No other division has been as anti-competitive for that long.

He's simply copy and pasting Skip Bayless' LeBron James playbook for Allen. It's just not as entertaining the key ingredient to Skip's shtick is having an entertaining foil (Stephen A or Sharpe) responding back at him.

Not that I'm complaining because it's the best FOX game - but why does Buffalo get the 4pm game? I thought the rule was markets always got the 1pm game on the non-double header network unless the home team was playing on the opposing network.

Ummmm...

I agree with you. But while many owners might want Snyder to go, they don't want a precedent in forcing an owner to sell.

If this was "voluntarily" deleted, he's a must play in fantasy next week. I expect him to be fed tons of carrots if he takes his sticks well.

So he talks like Elvis when they're winning, does he go full-on Sinatra when they're losing?

Thank you, I misinterpreted that they'd be on the hook for $1.5 million, but he has no guaranteed money next year. Appreciate the correction.

People give him a hard time for being hired because of nepotism, but he came highly recommended from Boss Hogg.

These tweets might actually be the best thing for him financially. He's nearing the end of his playing career - the Bills would save save $4.5 million cutting him next year & that's including his cap hit. Cole will be 33 next year and might not want to continue in the NFL. Beasley, intentionally or not, is branding himself to appeal to a certain demographic. It's not crazy to think that he could carve out a niche with his music career catering to that group.
