I hope you’re right. But I have seen the impact of private equity in my field: healthcare. It becomes no longer about patient care but $$. While they say it’s only 10% that a PE firm can own, the only thing that counts in the NFL is $$. And while again I hope I’m wrong, I can see within 10 years that PE become majority stakeholders, and then the only thing that will matter is ROI. And small market teams simply won’t hold up.

Could be the beginning of the end for franchises like the Bills, Bengals. Etc.

Where to start? 1. 2024 is lost. Ok Nostradamus. 2. Got rid of leadership? Or had guys getting older that have moved on. 3. Ineptitude at OC. I guess, unless you actually watched the last half of last year. 4. Players don’t take winning seriously. Seriously, that’s just nuts. I’ll stop there

You apparently missed the word all

And all blood pressures and heart rates return to normal…

QB: same RB: better, Davis improves the room TE: better, Kincaid has more experience and they’ll run a lot of 12 formation WR: even, depth is better and Diggs was declining in Brady’s offense OL: same, better protection up the middle with McGovern vs. Morse but Morsexwas better at pulling and run blocking DE: better, Miller coming back, and Solomon I think will have an impact DT: better with Jones back and better depth LB: same to a bit worse with Milano out CB: better, better depth with Elam and Ingram improving S: same lose smarts without Poyer and Hyde but gain in athleticism K: worse, Bass has a mental thing IMHO P: same Overall, the team is as good as last year and perhaps a bit better. Comes down to Brady and getting his offensive plans going.

And there you are…

People all butt hurt about Hardy, but odds are he winds up on the practice squad anyway.

It won’t surprise me if more moves and trades are made. I could see Toohill and a pick or two moved for a WR. Hardy will perhaps get resigned once he clears wavers. The practice squad should be interesting.

Sure he will. Dream on.

Oh.

Insane

My two daughters (raised as Bills fans in the heart of Indiana), my almost son-in-law ( a converted Bills fan - a condition my daughter and I both insisted on), and my wife (see condition for son-in-law) will all be here. Will be making my own beef on weck. My younger daughter eats fish (no meat) so she does smoked salmon on weck and loves it.

I don’t know what could have possibly inspired this thread, but I would bet large sums of $$ that McD would bend every single person on 2BD into a pretzel. Without breaking a sweat.

Yep

I am the original!

Ok boys, let’s matriculate the ball down the field!

1964. 12-2 and AFL champs.

Those of us who were fans in the 60's would argue otherwise.

You're a constant beacon of joy.

I think McGovern will be an upgrade in pass protection; Morse had trouble with bigger DTs and I'm hoping McGovern is stouter there. But I also thought Morse was really good in the run game especially when he'd pull to lead outside runs. It will be interesting to see how McGovern does there.

I think we have weapons; it’s how Brady uses them.

I get this all the time… That door swings both ways though. I try to start every season optimistic and hopeful .

One of the bigger issues here is the confusion of fact with opinion. Actually a global issue to be honest in just about any topic out there. The other is false expertise.

I would consider trading him and a day 3 pick for a WR.
