  1. the whole story states Farwell called squib, McD then called for long kick TB. Farwell talked to McD and they went back and forth(argument?). McD (relented?) and agreed on short kick. Not squib. A compromise of sorts? Then Bass was never told to kick short. So what was Bass told first? Squib by Farwell? Or kick long TB by McD? And what was last call relayed to Bass? and by whom? And whose job was it to inform Bass to change to kick short? As that was not the first two calls. ??? every player on the kick coverage team played that KO like it was to be a short kick to left of Bass in the corner. Not a squib, not a long kick TB. Everyone except Bass obviously.
  2. no no and no. Edmunds has trade value. What that is is not exactly clear, but he has value nonetheless.
  3. if you are not getting better you are getting worse.
  4. intimidated with a physical presence or show of force. Not immediately beat on or physically pounded. But implied it could happen if situation calls for it. ex: a big center enters game and takes up postion on the low block awaiting the throw in w smaller defender on him. Opposing team center immediately switches with smaller teammate to take on the bigger center and bodies him up in the lane. Leans into or stands close. Bodied could also mean past tense term for a body up action that actually took place.
  5. if he wants to take Mitch slot at 1 mill a year after Panthers cut him(lol not likely), fine I give him a shot.
  6. I played a little bit in HS and yes the postion seemed mundane and not glamorous but the feeling of holding out players from the QB and watching them get frustrated + blocking well for runs was very very satisfying IF and i mean big IF you are good at it. Very very fun. they are all "going south"
  7. Diggs signing 18 year contracts with future baby momma's 😂 Diggs apparently loves him some big mommas.
  8. Yes i remembered, and thanks for details. 👍 Also yeah other teams then were not suppose to be able to us what Indy used. But posion pill contracts occurred after, before NFL shut them down. A fight of contracts between Vikes and Seahawks. https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2020/4/29/21118726/steve-hutchinson-poison-pill-clause-vikings-seahawks-nfl-free-agency-hall-of-fame
  9. No. everyone knows in some situations teams prefer to tank for draft positioning on last half of season when playoffs are not possible. Draft position is more important in NFL so Ross revelations should not surprise anyone. bad NBA teams have been tanking for decades now. who cares, when teams get better than no tanking happens.
  10. that ball was well past him and was under his hands at this pic.
  11. maybe i did not word it clear. Polian made under market deals with those two players a year early(and agents agreed) before they were to hit free agency. Wohlford last yr on Bills was 1992 Ballard 1993. Polian was fired 2-4-1993. Littman nixed the early deals and the result was they then later became FA's. Polian was livid as Littman undermined his relationship with the agents and denied Bills players they needed. Wohlford was a costly mistake as Bills OL sucked that last Super Bowl. Ralph was not 100% forthcoming on the firing. He blamed it on Littman and Polian unable to work peacefully together. Which was true and was why they lost Wohlford and Ballard and others. But we all know Polian dissed Ralph's daughter and...........of course predictably...***** hit the fan eventually. WILSON CONFIRMS 'FRICTION' LED TO POLIAN FIRING OWNER SAYS CHANGE ENDED 3 YEARS OF DIFFERENCES; PROBLEMS WITH LITTMANN WERE KEY By Vic Carucci Feb 7, 1993 Buffalo Bills owner Ralph C. Wilson Jr. said that his "personal and professional differences" with Bill Polian in the last three years led to the firing of the most successful general manager in team history. In an exclusive interview with The Buffalo News, Wilson confirmed that the main reason for the dismissal was the turbulent relationship between Polian and Jeff Littmann, treasurer of Wilson's Detroit-based company. "They didn't get along well," Wilson said from his winter home in West Palm Beach, Fla. "I'm being very honest, there was some friction there. It (made for) an uncomfortable feeling on my part. And I just thought it was time to make a change and restructure our front office in Buffalo, and that is what I have done. "This change has nothing to do with football, losing the third straight Super Bowl, or anything such as that. Over the last three years -- and I mean three years, not the last month -- Bill and I have had some personal and professional differences.
  12. they had deals agreed to for each of those ahead of FA at reasonable numbers as no one knew what FA was about to become. (and several others too like Jeff Wright and Biscuit) then at the last min Litteman(Ralphs money lawyer) refused to agree and had Ralphs backing. Those players then tested FA and some left and some Bills matched like Wright. At much higher prices. It was the beginning of the end of SB run. but yes the big reason listed w Polian was the feud with Ralph's daughter.
  13. This year Bills had Super Bowl players but only Playoff coaches. Never was a path more clear for a SB win than when Bills had lead kicking off w 13 sec left. Never.
  14. Allen and Bills lost to Colts and Pats just this year in the conditions. And played poor in other games in the conditions.
  15. It won't be too long into new stadium life that Allen will not be able to run like he does now. He might only have 1 good year of running left by the time new stadium opens. Allen passing is better in dome and all around play is better. I will bet on Allen.
  16. apples and oranges. MN was fabric air supported and prone to tears from ice. They are no longer built. And the ones still in use have converted to solid roof. wind took that ball and pushed it to Diggs left causing him to lose track as it hit his arms and he dropped it for game changing possibly wining TD on MNF vs Pats.
  17. all large events are at an all time low due to Covid.
  18. Carrier dome was engineered to hold a roof. Adding a replacement did not need much new structural support. For example Highmark is an open air design and the top footprint is very wide and long and whole stadium is laid back as it does not need to support a roof. Domes have higher taller grade so roof is manageable for cost and engineering safety. Study shows new Bills stadium could be engineered to hold a roof in the future by building it with support for the roof. Study says this would be about 118 million.(ironic they list same number as Carrier new roof cost if this is true) And would likely change the configuration making it taller, making supports sunk as needed for future weight support etc etc....... More cost effective to do the roof now but Owners, State, and County, have already decided it is open air. Even though all polls show 70 to 85% of fans want a Dome the owners and state keep saying fans want open air. Weird. Wrong statement. And depending on your opinion, dumb. Bills roll with passing O that Allen is not good in when going against the win. Bills have best chance when Allen is at his best, which is in good weather.
  19. yes same i find all over. Milwaukee and Chicago has those too. Family pride makes great food. Hugh menu and always good.
  20. football was never invented or intended to be played in winter. They invented basketball for winter play. Football was always a late summer and fall game that ended by Thanksgiving like High Schools do now. College also over by end of Nov.. All or most bowl and playoff games are in domes or in south/far west in good weather. Only the pro game development and their desire to make more money did the schedules then push into winter.
