Agreed. Beating up women & bullying one of your fellow offensive linemen isn't exactly an apples to apples comparison.

I think it would be a waste of time on a waste of a human being, but that's just my opinion. He can say what he's been coached to say when millions are on the line, but his actions with the Cowboys & off the field keep me from being convinced.

Things are good; hope the same goes for you. The Colts beating up on the Pats would be nice, but it also means more competition for a wildcard spot.

Is it the coaching staff who has interest in Siemian, or the front office? The answer to that question could make a world of difference to me.

I expect the Colts to be much better with Ballard running the show. I wish we would've hired him first.

Right back at ya! It's definitely good to see a lot of friendly faces. I feared I'd lost you guys forever. Yeah, we've seen that with Johnnyp56. Was that record time for a ban?

It was only the posters that made it what it was. Not all of them, obviously, but there were a lot of good ones.

I LOVED Snapple Orange Iced Tea, but I bet it would taste disgusting to me now.

Deux ex machina: an unexpected power or event saving a seemingly hopeless situation, especially as a contrived plot device in a play or novel. Like, for example, a UFO randomly appearing in the sky & causing story-altering events. I think the Cohen brothers have written & directed some great movies. Raising Arizona, Miller's Crossing, Fargo, Big Lebowski, and No Country For Old Men are some of my favorites. But if they're not your thing, they're not your thing. When I saw Fargo in the theater, it left me with a sense of gloom & dread that I mistook for dislike. In the days & weeks that followed, I thought about it a lot & realized how much I actually liked it. They were only executive producers on Bad Santa, so that film is hardly worth mentioning when talking about them.

Perhaps a billboard would be more effective? jk

Damn right!

Reading this thread reminded me of the scene in Shawshank Redemption when Brooks gets out of prison, discovers he can't handle the freedom, comes home from his job bagging groceries & hangs himself.

Nice to see you too!

Who was the poster whose little brother went to HS with Trent (or something like that) and was his biggest fan? I thought that was savioredwards. I think he currently resides on buffalo range.

He's been mulling it over for over 7 weeks. I think he should at least be close to knowing by now.

Exactly. If McDermott commits to Taylor now, he's likely stuck with him for the next 2-3 years. That could very well be the extent of his employment with the Bills if it doesn't work out. If he believes enough in Taylor to put his job on the line for it, I think you have to grant him that.

The first episode of season 1 is one of the best things I've ever seen, but I wasn't a fan of the direction the story took the last few episodes. My only issue with season 2 was the unidentified flying deus ex machina. Can't wait for season 3.

Forget that. That's the same mentality that saw us backing up Fitzmagic with Thigpen and EJ with Tuel. If our QB is going to be discouraged by that, then he doesn't have what it takes.

It totally makes sense to include the HC in the discussion. In fact, if the HC says that's the QB he can win with, IMO that trumps all. That's exactly where I'm at with Taylor: if McDermott wants him to stay, he should stay. If he doesn't, he shouldn't. I don't care what Pegula, Whaley, Brandon, Overdorf, or the janitor have to say about it. I also wish Taylor would've played better last year, but I still think he's good enough to be the ~17th highest paid QB until we find something better. That wouldn't be a concern with a well-managed cap.

People have been assuming the Bills wouldn't do the ridiculous things they've done for a long time. A 17-year playoff drought isn't just the result of bad luck. I'm sure there are other teams who operate like this, but their seasons probably end in early January just like ours.

You too! This feels like a HS reunion, but with people you actually want to see.

It does sound ridiculous. Then again, if we're buying Pegula as the reason why Rex was hired, then it doesn't seem quite as far-fetched.

Robert Klemko Foster warned the man that he'd put hands on him, and the employee said, simply, Do it. 7:14 AM - 4 Mar 2017 Anybody know if the hospital employee is available?

There's just so much wrong with the following: As I reported in December, Buffalo’s decision makers -- general manager Doug Whaley, senior VP of football administration Jim Overdorf and team president Russ Brandon -- decided they didn’t want to pay Taylor in 2017. They wanted Taylor out as starter late in last season (he was shut down for Week 17 once owner Terry Pegula fired coach Rex Ryan), and that has not changed. The front office still feels the current salary structure they negotiated themselves a year ago -- instead of a more standard year-to-year, pay-as-you-go format -- doesn’t make sense...

Right back at you! It's great to see so many familiar faces.
