Yeah. Because holding accountable, and firing, a long string of head coaches, has worked so well for the Cleveland Browns. The Bills should follow suit.

I wish I could share in your optimism. But 20 unrestricted free agents combined with our our unhealthy salary cap, it's going to take some miraculous front office management to keep from going backward.

Poorly run charities are plentiful. That's why I liked contributing at the office as a federal employee. They had a database of charities, one of the fields was how much of donations covered operating costs (Administrative and Fundraising Expense Rate, AFR) ...instead of flowing to the actual charitable interest. Look up your own favorite charity (they aren't all there): https://cfcgiving.opm.gov/offerings I looked up a couple AFRs to see how much was spent on overhead: Sumaritan's Purse, a respectable 11.2% Hunters Hope, 18.5%, not bad for a boutique charity Red Cross, 9.2%

Odds makers aren't predicting winners. They set the line to get equal numbers of people on both sides. The line is set as a function of popular sentiment, not who they think will win.

I fondly remember when they were the Bullets. It fit the neighborhood.

"no longer have 2 fifths but one fifth" ...my mind went immediately to liquor.

The Mahomes Phenomena.

CTE, only diagnosable by a post mortem autopsy---or, now apparently, personal testimony.

But you do agree there are stupid owners remaining? I don't think we have run out of Arizona's, Cleveland's, or Denver's.

More likely, a Generation-Z yells at cloud. Who is OP to tell people how to live their fanhood?

TLDR. 13-3. Draw your own conclusions about how I feel.

I suppose that's possible. How can you tell that you're interviewing the next Sean McVay, or Nick Siriani, or Zac Taylor? I'm sure Cleveland thought they were interviewing the next coaching rock star several times the last decade. So did the Broncos.

If you don't like McD, we could invite Rex Ryan back. Or we could hire Lovie Smith. Diss him if that floats your boat. It would be a better thread if you posed viable options.

Example of blind cheer leading: Bills Mafia on Facebook. It's dominated by Karen's and Ken's. Make a negative Bills comment there and you get excoriated.

I wouldn't be surprised if Multiple Concussion Man retires for his own health. I know I would. Yeah. If he was in the Cincinnati game, the Bills win.

"In a 3 year period, how did we end up with so many holes on this team." In addition to many of the points brought up by others--this is what happens when you bring in FA on 1 or 2 year "prove it" contracts. They come in, prove it, then move on to the highest bidder.

Reading the tea leaves: I think Frazier is staying. They fired the Safeties Coach today ... usually the coordinator is let go before the position coaches.

It is. It is. Want to hear stories from my job search?

Funny. We're at 8 pages of who we should hire... like we're playing DC Madden. I see little realization being paid to someone who may actually want to move Buffalo and serve here professionally.

After last night's win, the Sabres are only 3 points away from a playoff spot.

As I stated before for another poster regarding ensconced: Don't be so arrogant as to think a Bflo OC job is all that.

Yeah. He's got money in the bank and his kids may be in a school they like and extra-curricular activities that make them happy. He might like his house. His wife might like Indy. Point is: for those who have some bank, which should be Reich, there's more to life than professional decisions.

I love Bills Mafia suggestion that no less than Frank Reich should be hired as OC. The sentimentality is cute. Did Reich proponents ever consider for one second that he doesn't want to be OC, or he doesn't want to live in Buffalo? He is after all, comfortably ensconced in Indy. Armchair owners kill me. They think they're playing Madden in owner mode.

I think the Damar pre-game visit to the locker room had the opposite than desired effect. It sobered them up and chilled out their athletic drive.

For all the people bemoaning Josh Allen's contract: developments this next off-season are going to make his contract look like a bargain. Baltimore's outrageous resigning of LB Roquan Smith to a gargantuan contract is just a hint of the craziness this off-season will bring.
