I don't agree on the talent. Ben is top 5. Bell is top 2. Brown is top 1. Shazier was top 5. The rest are serviceable. Tomlin parlayed 4 studs at the most important positions, into a very avg roster and made them a very competitive team. And does it year in and year out. I would not be surprised if they make a change though. Teams that win all the time and then don't go as far as fans and part owners expect in playoffs----pull the trigger sometimes trying to prevent that boulder from falling over the edge. It usually falls anyway. Ravens and Bengals are good examples of boulder going over edge. Coaches and/or QB's should have been changed a couple years ago.

Hey you might be on to something here. We could use Bills bad luck to our advantage. Trade for him for nothing but 15 conditional first round draft picks if Alex Smith starts at least 14 regular season games and plays at least 50% of ea playoff game and 75% of Super Bowl game and leads Bills to Super Bowl win next year. With that kind of franchise killing deal. Bills would surely win it all. On the flip side we would never be subject tosome of the following almost ever again, and some for at least 15 years: hey what does Bills spell. Buffalo is for losers. wide right. Aaron Maybin Donte Whitner Leodis McKelvin Shaq Lawson Mike Willliams Perry Tuttle James Williams Erik Flowers JP Losman John McCargo EJ Manual

invulnerable maybe. impenetrable? Not likely.

Well it is obvious, since he is not talking, he has a tongue strain. He will be OK for games, he can use his hands.

I vote: Discuss.

http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/alex-smith-3337/ NFL players can not be traded in 2018 until Mar 14 at 4 pm. Spotrak says the 2018 roster bonus of 2 mill is due at training camp. Training camps are after the April draft as a mini-camp then full camp in summer. Not sure wich one they are referring to. If traded before training camp Bills would owe the bonus.

I thought it was a given Ben retires this year. He himself said he was hairbreadth away from retiring last year and this was confirmed by his teammates and friends. Surely after one more year of NFL pounding and his skills eroding that hairbreadth gap would have closed.

Kind of strange that a guy who had all kinds of legal trouble in back rooms and hallways in bars like Ben had, before he found God/married/started family, could not counsel Haley and get him on the straight and narrow.

If that is true he is a complete moron.

Agreed except details on minority owner comment: Only scenario acceptable to Bon Jovi was he was going to be the controlling partner. By NFL rules the controlling partner had to contribute a certain % of the winning bid. I read 30 or 40%. Bon Jovi bid as high as he could to remain the controlling owner. Because he was unwilling to be a minority money contributor and unwilling to not be controlling partner he did not have enough cash to meet the % required by NFL. This is why he could not bid enough to get the Bills. The group from Toronto could have been setup as one of the other big investors as the controlling owner and putting Bon Jovi in charge like Jeter is with Marlins. Bon Jovi would not accept. He was a victim of his own ego. This worked out like magic for Bills fans as he could then not outbid Pegs and so could not move Bills to Toronto after lease was up as was his plan.

Bon Jovi gain: trying to save face in WNY as he starts a tour. Trying to rehab his worthless image to many millions of Bills fans. Typical double down liar who tells more lies to cover up old lies. Lies just keep on giving. Trump: not following. What has Trump done to make me think the story is not true? Not sure what you are asking. Trump has done nothing to make me think the story is true or untrue. I figured out Bon Jovi is a lying scum bag on my own. Trump does not need to do anything for me to think that Bon Jovi lied to Stern. I don't know if Trump had his advisor start the campaign to expose Bon Jovi wanting to move Bills to Toronto. Bon Jovi believes he did it. http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-buffalo-bills-jon-bon-jovi-2017-10 Smoking gun was: Records were uncovered about business plan in Toronto that Bills move to Toronto was the plan. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/report-bon-jovi-group-explored-toronto-stadium-sites-for-bills/ Bon Jovi violated terms of submitting a bid and should have never been allowed to bid.

ha ha ha ...lol...pure bull ****. His team was scouting stadium locations in Toronto as they were putting in a Bills bid. They refused to come out publicly or sign any statement that they would not move the Bills. Even after all the talk of him wanting to move the Bills during the sale process(after I presume he knew of Trump smear campaign, thanks Trump) he still does not address publically that he would keep Bills in Buffalo. Jon Bon Jovi bull **** at its finest. Not buying what he is selling for one minute. F You. Go back to New Jersey and buy the Giants or Jets and move them to NYC or Brooklyn and actually make someone happy for a change. A hole.

Super Bowl Falcons OC was an idiot.

No it means you have a chance to win about half the time or every other game in scenario you describe. That will get most coaches fired within 3 seasons because you will not win all 8 games you only "have a chance to win". This means your ceiling will be at best 7-9 year after year and more times than not you will win less than 7.

If he wants to endear himself to the masses he needs to...: Not make all those talent dump trades count for even less by not maximizing the return so needs to: resign EJ Gaines to a contract with game day roster bonuses to protect from his glass like availability. find a way to get some value for Jordan Matthews likely departure(comp pick likely only recoup available) then also: sign K Benjamin to a multi-yr deal that lowers his cap hit for next yr....and also to prevent scenario they can not afford him if he has mega yr next year if they find a Cousins or other good QB to throw the ball to him. sign P Brown to team friendly deal as at least good backup(I know very unlikely for leading tackler in NFL so max recoup by not screwing up comp pick) Find a way to use a proven All Pro LT(Glenn) instead of dumping him for peanuts. Think long and hard about drafting Rudolph who is a relic of the past with no mobility. He makes Grapppallo and even Cousins look like M Vick. He makes A Rogers look like Fran Tarkenton/D Flutie

Yes. Would apply same logic that a db hold would give a team automatic 1st down. Not fair that a 3rd and 40 gets a first down on a hold 5 yrds from line of scrimmage.

Well....Zay Jones and Kelvin Benjamin are All Pros at not selling the missed call......

Since defensive holding regardless if it is 1st and 10 or 3rd and 50 or 3rd and 1 etc etc............is 5 yds and automatic first down. Why is not offensive holding downfield(also called illegal block, illegal pick).......5 yd penalty and automatic 4th down for offense?

Close but actually Whaley's fault....lol Who is going to volunteer to go get Brady's DNA ?...........and how long could it survive in a persons mouth?

Great idea on paper, however, it would never work in practice. Defenders would use this 15 yard penalty to prevent big plays and to kill clock late in game just like NBA players use "a foul to give" late in games to kill clock. Great finishes would go way way down. In basketball this use of infractions is valid capital to play as team avoided fouls and stockpiled them similar to but not same as NFL saving timeouts or challenge flags in football. Should be allowed to use it. EX: final drive for team in closing seconds of game down by 6 and is at 25 yd line with no time outs trying for a late game victory. Get ready for repeated consecutive defensive PI as defense tries to run clock out. 1st play PI down to your 40 yd line 2nd to opponents 45 yd line 3rd to 30 yd line 4th to 15 5th to 7.5 6th to 3.75 all this would run off a minute or more of clock. team would have no chance to stage a comeback. Players would be coached and practice how to do intentional PI and make it look like basic strong defensive contact. Seahawks Jaquars and Pats would have a small coaching staff and support staff assembled just for that purpose. They would probably bring in Hollywood videographers to record it all and show the finer points of how it would all look live from officials point of view on the field. Job creation at its best.

So the criteria for the actual last play(in this case the PAT) is dependent on if any result of that PAT or other last play can change the winner????? So if the PAT can not change the winner it does not count as the last play?? But if it can change the winner of the game it does count as the last play?? That just makes no sense. A contest/game or whatever you want to call it is not over until the LAST play is played. In Vikings case it was the PAT. If the game was over after the Diggs score than the Saints should have stayed in the locker room and avoided the humiliation of a play that did not count. As you said the winner was decided. But the game had not ended yet.

Saints won't win next year either if they have to pay Brees 30 mill cap hit.

No Vikings win will not be compared much to Music City Miracle,(even though they are calling it Minnesota Miracle) as it does not have any controversy. Technically the Viking game did not end on that TD pass.....they had to run one more play. The PAT. Just like an untimed down after penalty or whatever to end a game that results in the winning FG or TD. That should not be considered the last play of the game if a PAT is involved. It still could be winning play but not last play. EX: the Pats Bills "just give it to em" game. They had an untimed down with no time on clock after PI in end zone and Bledsoe threw a TD to Coates for the game winner, however, they had to run the PAT and did so for 2 pts. That was the final play. It is interesting you bring up Music City Miracle. How would it have gone down today??? hmmmm Riveron using the "perponderance of evidence policy" like he did in regular season 2017-18 should have overturned that today. Unless he returned to "100% conclusive policy" in playoffs like he did this year in playoffs, then it would have stood. coin flip

This really is perfect if Pats lose at that game. Handicaps their draft, as picks are very low in rounds.
