  1. So you did not intend forfeit as one option? What did it include? Let’s have some teasonableness and consider the options the commissioner laid out which includes lost picks, fines, suspensions and forfeits as possible punishments . It did not include that other nonsense you are throwing out there. It was absolutely reasonable to assume forfeit was on the table given your strong words and the reasonable happening in nfl circles. You should be more specific in the future if you are going to get all offended when you leave something open ended. You could have responded with “ I don’t agree with a forfeit but they should lose two first round picks” and clear up your vague statement. Come on man!!!!
  2. No, but you did say "Screw what's fair. Whatever punishment the receive, regardless of how severe it may appear to some, is deserved." which obviously includes forfeiting.
  3. ??????You think they would treat the Bills different than the Titans? Conspiracy theorist?
  4. The Titans deserve punishment.....the other teams in the league do not deserve punishment. You would be punishing the Bills division opponents at a minimum by doing that.
  5. Does Allen get 300 yards and 3 TD's added to his stats if they forfeit? You know, his average numbers.... The problem is more guys come up positive everyday......the game cant be played until that gets under control
  6. And that is what it is when these things start happening....at first it looks like advantage Bills when the Titans Steelers would get moved to Tuesday. Then it because advantage Titans (they get a free bye week). Now its advantage Bills for the Chiefs game. No matter what come from all of this the bitching will be off the charts across the league.
  7. If its safe, yes. I trust they will figure that out. If it is not safe to play then something else should happen, just not a forfeit.
  8. People generally want guys who have fantasy stats at the wr position. Any wr who is not fantasy worthy should be replaced by a guy who once caught 2 tds in a game. Special teams specialists? Figure it out some other way. Anyone can do that
  9. Unprecedented, all the other leagues are also dealing with Covid, which ones are using forfeits? I am obviously in the minority here....I don't want a free win, I want to earn them.....and I dont say that like I am part of the Bills, that is how I personally live my life.
  10. The Bills win the Super Bowl!!!!! a win is a win? What are you talking about? Its not a win....it's ridicuolus
  11. I disagree with the bolded completely. I have never seen a forfeit in major sports, are there examples? And why not? Because its not fair to the other 30 teams
  12. I hate the idea of getting a win (or a loss) by forfeit, ******************************************** There are other options, go by win % and play 15 games vs give one team a loss and one a win. They could decide what to do later. If a bunch of other games end up in this same situation, then an 18th week is more reasonable. I said this before the season, get ready for an unfair season. But I was figuring different teams would play different amounts of games and they would go by win%. Win by forfeiture is cheap and will be seen as cheap by the public. I say that with the understanding the Titans screwed up.....I still dont like it. And that woudl be fair to the OTHER teams, not talkign about the Titans....how would you feel if the NFL starts gifting wins to the Pats.
  13. I think there is optimism for more than just making the playoffs. Frankly if they lose the division to the patriots I will be disappointed. This team should be able to beat them out but they still have to do it.
  14. 30 years ago the bills had played in 0 Super Bowls. There have been a lot of good years sooner than 30 years ago including last season to a degree. The other thing to point out is while I share your optimism....what success have we had exactly? 4-0 start? That happened in 2008. We have been “fooled” a couple times. I am not being Sully. Just pointing out we have a ways to go before we can really claim success. Let’s win the division and win in the playoffs. Enjoy the ride but we have yet to beat our nemesis.
  15. What a disaster. No cap with young guys signed to new deals.
  16. Today. They are 22-30 year olds largely. Brains are not even fully mature for some. They are not incapable of making a bad decision. Do you really think they are that special? I do think organizationally they are near the top of the league but any team could be the example if someone steps out of line.
  17. Because Im a Bills fan and I dont want my team to forfeit a game. You think it's not an option for a Bills player to mess up?
  18. That is what you want! If he has to run to win fine run but if you can move the ball and win without running, that is much preferred. That is an element of his game that is good to have but only use it when its really needed.
  19. I think they would be best keeping Dabol but it is not necesarily the end of the world if your QB is great. Another OC can get plugged in, in some ways it would have hurt more after last season, before Allen had made a major leap. Ideally maybe Dabol does not want everything that comes with an HC position and we can pay him more to stay OC. Dabol will get a lot of credit for "developing" Allen. A lot of people seem shocked how far Allen has come. So I would think there is a good chance someone will give him a shot.
