We then have the Jags 2nd and 5th round picks for taking a short term cap hit.
Your creativity is noted, and appreciated.
I tried to reply with an eloquent post about the value of picks versus cap hit.. but found it hard to verbalize. Short story: a 2nd and 5th for a disposable player is not something the Jags would offer (even to evade a cap hit).
The Bortles market will heat up after the draft.

How about adding a minimum two more officials on the field
There are officials up the ying yang as it is.
Also, TIME and RHYTHM are factors. Making a game consistently interrupted kills the fan experience. Also there is a TV taboo of making a game longer than three hours.
I don't know the answer, but making games longer disqualifies any solution.

Kent Hull. Center extraordinaire

While we're reminiscing on Fantasy Lane, how about we make a play for Khalil Mack? Same logic applies.

If you want peace in your life, you need to develop a thick skin regarding Buffalo.
The cheap shots come in on a regular pace--you can't spend your whole life seething at each one. That's no way to live.

By the design of the survey you can see several objectives, determine:
- downtown or OP
- renovate or new build
- fan base tolerance of PSLs
- pricing point for various options in OP
Peoples survey experience may differ because it seemed how you answered one question would cause custom follow-on questions.
I'm glad the Pegula's are in charge. I expect a very professional and well thought out decision from them. Can't say the same for all the politicos and special interest groups in WNY.

Not to rehash all this but it was never clear cut one way or the other. The Bills gave Peters a nice contract after his first season as a RT. He wanted big time LT money. He held out and refused to return their phone calls and when he should up, he was completely out of shape. The Bills finally traded him and ended up with a decent return, I believe a 1st and something else. If the Pats did this, we would praise their culture and getting rid of me guys.
I know it’s impossible to take the middle ground in any debate but I completely see both sides. Peters is a HOF and a freak. The Bills signed the guy as a UDFA TE and moved him. Peters also has had some major injuries and missed most of last year. But yup, that deal worked out well for them.
This ^^^
I'm a bit bitter toward Peters because the Bills gave this UDFA a big break and he dominated...but later he wouldn't return any sort of hometown loyalty, he became all about the $$. No gratitude. Selfish prick.

Hide your daughters.
I just can't see this guy being a leader of grown men and has a failed track record. McVay was young but had a lot of NFL experience. This guy seems to be way too much of a bro. We will see.
Not sure the last guy to be fired by a meh college with a losing record despite an elite QB and gets hired the next year as an NFL head coach.
Agree.
Initially, I wasn't worried about Daboll being poached by another team. He is to mediocre and untested. But now I am worried Daboll could be a hot candidate. (I assume the Bills would let him interview)
If the new HC standard views Kliff as HC material.. then Daboll must look like a gold plated candidate.

Every time I hear of someone named Duke, I think of Duke Nukem
Let's hope he nukes them with the Bills.

Eeeewww, gross.
Not a good business decision. They'll rethink when they get an outbreak of MRSA in their locker room.

Will he ride a tandem bike with his brother in South Beach?
(when they did that in Delaware Park, I was surprised the bike welds held up to their weight)

I can’t remember where but I heard Culley is a good x and o, film room guy. He’s not good with QB biomechanics.
I have the same impression.
I wonder where Allen could get off season help with his biomechanics? I don't think he needs allot of help, just a tweak here and there.

Three firings. That should appease those savages over at TSW.
Having said that One: I take no joy in the thought of three families being uprooted and/or faced with uncertainty
Having said that Two: My empathy with the families is tempered by the fact the Asst Coaches make a pretty good living and understand firings and moving on are part of the job.

It's not appropriate to use major mental illnesses or medications to treat them in describing a NFL team's defense.
These things aren't laughing matters, particularly to those who are diagnosed.
INGSOC has spoken.
I know some diagnosed, possibly including me: most find therapeutic value in poking fun at themselves.

I'd diagnose the D as Bipolar versus Schizo.
They had stellar days or awful days... no mediocre days.
A pallet of lithium should help.

When will football fans catch on that the "professionals" who actually do the picking in the league are just as terrible as you and I?
The professionals are better than Joe Average fan.
Case in point: McBean have done very well with UDFA's. No way Joe Average could come anywhere close to doing as well.
The pros have the edge provided by information gathered by the scouting department.

Of course, when it comes to evaluating HCs and quarterbacks, none of them know anything, so I'll continue to trust the words of people who call our coach 'McClappy' and suggest Allen only did yesterday what the quarterback at Onondaga Community College could have done.
Rephrased: you'll continue to trust the words of anonymous internet critics in Mom's basement (the McClappy crowd) and diss the progress Allen had made.
You are either a master of sarcasm, or a master of cynicism. Hard to tell.

he plays well tag him
Buffalo needs to avoid a reputation as a tagging team.
If you have a rep for tagging, that's a turn-off for free agents that visit. Buffalo is going to have a hard time attracting free agents as it is, last thing needed is a rep for tagging.

Bills Special Teams Rank 31st In Rick Gosselin’s Rankings
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
If I remember Marv Levy's rein correctly, he too was also a huge proponent of special teams. It helped that eventually he got Steve Tasker.
