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.
-
BBMB? It's been awhile, hope all has been well. I'm excited for what he does in Indy, I'd like atleast one team in the AFC who won't roll over for the Pats.
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.
-
11-5 and now what? What did he build? Where is the foundation around Andrew Luck? Trent Richardson? Phillip Dorsett? Convince me Grigson had any long term plan. Al Davis wana be with his WR fetish cost the Colts legitimate players.
I expect the Colts to be much better with Ballard running the show. I wish we would've hired him first.

A good selection has transferred over, including yerself.
Right back at ya! It's definitely good to see a lot of friendly faces. I feared I'd lost you guys forever.
if thats the case we will weed them out here through natural selection and self policing. there are many all day users that don't contribute to society by being good workers that will gladly help. i'm envious of them.
Yeah, we've seen that with Johnnyp56. Was that record time for a ban?
-
curious. if there is anything that was done there that really stood out and was a special thing that may be considered unique?
i never, ever went to that board after trying it briefly for 2 or 3 days just reading it. too much drivel
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.

cool but I don't know them, I could care less about the movie industry and just watch what I like. It's like knowing the engineers of cars when all I really care about is the car. I spend enough time doing frivolous things I can't waste time on movie people.
I guess they suck at movies and are good at shows, only saw Fargo and bad Santa and they sucked.
The what?
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.

Nice to see that the Dude still abides. I'm going to write an open letter to the Pegs about closing the BBMB and appreciate any advice on where to have it posted
Perhaps a billboard would be more effective? jk

Brooks was here
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.
-
That could be quite possible too. They all blended together after a while and a lot of alcohol. Nice to see ya 86
Nice to see you too!
-
Never does. There were many times that this happened at BBMB if you recall. I'm almost certain he also went under the name mykidsdad or maybe even savioredwards.
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.
-
...For one thing, I have a real hard time believing that McDermott is even remotely close to knowing whether or not he and his staff are 100% ready to roll with Taylor. That is going to have much more impact on whether or not he is here in 2017 than Russ Brandon or the medias attempt to paint him as The Godfather of Bills football in Orchard Park.
He's been mulling it over for over 7 weeks. I think he should at least be close to knowing by now.
-
Im there too. Im not naive enuff to point squarely at TT for this teams Losses. I think McDermy should get the roster he wants to work with and we should roll with that. If Dermys not worried bout the cap im good.
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.
-
That would really undermine Tyrod. It'd be a clear indication that he's just an expensive bridge and it'd make it known that he is not in the team's long term plans. It'd be better to just find a cheaper bridge QB and draft away at the position.
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.

A 17 year drought is the result of getting things wrong for an impossibly long time. And our errors cross over owners, GMs, coaches, and players alike. Our record of ineptitude is unique.
None of that means that Pegula told Whaley, Brandon, and Overdorf they had to wait to cut TT until after the new coach had a say. Whaley knew that anyway. It's just the correct thing to do.
There are pros and cons to keeping or letting him go and it deserves discussion among the principals involved. I'm not sure why that's a bad thing. Not at all.
I'll just wrap it up and repeat that it's too bad TT's play didn't put the issue to rest on its own.
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.

Look, if an owner wants to insist that anybody be a starter at any position, his employees have to toe the line or look elsewhere for work. Owners have final say on everything. That's a simple reality and it's never going to change. That doesn't mean they take things to ridiculous extremes though. That would be stupid and unattractive to prospective employees down the line. But for whatever reason, we fans insist on thinking the Bills are run like our favorite soap operas and that we're the only team in the league that operates like this.
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.

Hey man! Good to see you here.
You too! This feels like a HS reunion, but with people you actually want to see.
-
Sure. That's what must have happened. Pegula, in the face of the front office declared TT was untouchable. I wonder who Pegs likes at long snapper, too.
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.
-
Some color on the situation. More douchey than 'roid ragey but still not a great look.

Foster warned the man that he'd put hands on him, and the employee said, simply, Do it.

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...
-
good to see you here man. always did dig your posts, look forward to more...
Right back at you! It's great to see so many familiar faces.
Could a humbled Greg Hardy be the next Richie Incognito?

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