    You still haven't provided data on those 'Negotiated PLAs', and how Unions will 'drive up costs'.

    Construction is expensive everywhere. Period.

    .................Perhaps, the Bills should hire Migrants to build the Stadium??? (Sarcasm button is now off)

    Just speaking as someone with experience on the funding / cost control side of government funded projects. PLAs are usually cheaper than Prevailing Wage and are more likely on a huge project like this, soy that's good. But PLAs are still more expensive than non-union private sector construction labor rates which are still WAY higher than minimum wage. It depends on the project and availability of labor so I don't have a cheat sheet to factor in all the variables.

    Both his daughters are very attractive and seem to take after their mom in looks.

     

    But I think they also effectively make my point that "racial ancestry" and "appearance" don't necessarily align very well, so it's pretty silly for the guy I was answering to demand that McDaniel "23 and me" to verify the race of his father because McDaniel doesn't "look black"

    I think it's actually the exception that proves the point. One of the components of racism is a very  broad and pervasive dominant culture that includes a programmed bias against dark skin. Passing as white is a thing because the cultural bias occurs very deep in the brain as an evolutionary trick of perception that encourages us to divide ourselves into tribes and has nothing to do with the person themselves or their ancestry.

    Let's worry about that when the time comes as we will have all off-season to discuss that.

     

    For now?

     

    Lets worry about crushing the chiefs on Sunday 💪

    I was assuming that fan discussion doesn't affect the ability of the players, cosmically or otherwise... Players, positional coaches and coordinators shouldn't be thinking about this, head coach shouldn't spend more than 0.5% of his time on it this week... But with all that said... someone in the organization has the job of gathering information and being prepared for the moment when this decision actually needs to be made. That's what's made this group successful: short term and long term thinking; chewing and walking gum... Err, I mean

  4. Looks like Daboll will be hired as a head coach in mid February... How do you think we will replace him? I don't think Ken Dorsey should be handed the job without a series of serious interviews with other candidates.  Assuming we are sticking with the Erhardt Perkins system that narrows our options. 

     

    Can we inventory the current E-P offenses in the league? Did Brady bring it to Tampa Bay? Of all the playoff teams, I feel like they most closely resemble our offense. Did New England still run an E-P system this year? It sure didn't look like a very advanced one if so...

  5. This draft got even better this year ... Five of the six are starters for playoff teams. Tanner Vallejo - Arizona, Zay Jones - Las Vegas, Milano, Dawkins, and honorable status as playoff starter to Tre White obviously.  Zay was actually getting league wide respect and making plays down the stretch until the last play of the Bengals matchup, which was a bad pass under pressure by Carr, not his fault.  All six players are still in the league... And the sixth one, while not currently desired to actually see regular season time on the field, even during COVID... has at one time been featured in his team's season opening hype video... 😂.  But the fact remains that five of six are well respected playoff starters if not stars.
