Greenberg - A Jets Fan - Pushing Back Against The Allen Hate
SoCal Deek replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall
When you boil it down Josh’s rushing touchdowns are essentially the difference in points scored by the Bills and Chiefs this season. -

Von Miller faces arrest in domestic violence case in Dallas
SoCal Deek replied to ArdmoreRyno's topic in The Stadium Wall
Isn't it possible that Von simply needs a 'personal' day? I'm not sure how I would deal with it if this was going on around me. -
Von Miller faces arrest in domestic violence case in Dallas
SoCal Deek replied to ArdmoreRyno's topic in The Stadium Wall
Agreed....but I still have to tread very lightly. As I and others have said, an allegation is NOT a conviction of anything. -
Von Miller faces arrest in domestic violence case in Dallas
SoCal Deek replied to ArdmoreRyno's topic in The Stadium Wall
I am employed hundreds of people for many years. What they were doing in their personal lives was none of my business, and I really wasn’t able to ask them or my HR Department. I can understand how this gets really challenging for everybody involved. -
Von Miller faces arrest in domestic violence case in Dallas
SoCal Deek replied to ArdmoreRyno's topic in The Stadium Wall
Thats where this becomes a public relations issue and not a criminal justice issue. The short answer is…if you don’t want to cheer for him, don’t. -

We seem to be having a lot of confusion about how our criminal justice system works. Being arrested and arraigned does not make you guilty of anything. It’s just a step in our process. -
Von Miller faces arrest in domestic violence case in Dallas
SoCal Deek replied to ArdmoreRyno's topic in The Stadium Wall
I am not torn. Let’s say Josh Allen (heaven forbid) is convicted of killing somebody in a drunk driving incident. Should the Bills be banished into Cap oblivion for the next half decade or more? Why? What he did was not at all associated with the Buffalo Bills. And….id say the same no matter whose team he played for. -

Exactly I think it should be changed 👍 -

SoCal Deek replied to ArdmoreRyno's topic in The Stadium Wall
I apologize. I’m not trying to put things in your mouth. I just see a huge distinction between football risks (injuries, poor performance, etc) and something that has nothing to do with football. Remember, the cap is the maximum an Owner can pay. Theres no minimum. So in this case Pegula could say ‘I’ve invested enough in employee salaries already, so I’m not going to backfill the hole”. And as I said, there’s nobody who is going to get convicted of a crime so as to benefit their former employer. -

SoCal Deek replied to ArdmoreRyno's topic in The Stadium Wall
Ugh. So it’s your opinion that players will purposely try and get convicted of crimes so as to mess with their teams cap? These are not football related crimes, and should be outside of the cap….no matter what team it is. And to suggest that the Owners would be against it is presumptuous. All Owners want to win in a highly competitive business. None of them want to be handicapped because an employee committed a crime while at home. -

Simple. If you have a guy taking money out of the cap, that means other players can’t earn that money. That’s what a CAP is. -
Bills Cap Breakdown by Greg Tompsett
SoCal Deek replied to DrDawkinstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
The one I find comical is saving $165k by trading Elam. What are they getting for him? A gently used three hole punch from some other team? 😂 -

SoCal Deek replied to ArdmoreRyno's topic in The Stadium Wall
I obviously disagree. Other players, either current or future, shouldn’t have their wages reduced because a guy who used to be on your team did something that was completely unrelated to football. That is not what the salary cap is there for. -
I hope that Beane stops listening to McDermott when drafting
SoCal Deek replied to margolbe's topic in The Stadium Wall
I find it comical that fans think a player’s career starts and ends on draft day. It doesn’t! It’s up to our highly compensated coaching staff to COACH these guys up to being the best they can be. In business I used to marvel at how a client/customer would select us for a contract presumably because they thought we were experts at what we do….but once hired they’d often treat us like we were morons. -
Kneel Down Game: Final Nail in McD’s Coach Coffin
SoCal Deek replied to Thrivefourfive's topic in The Stadium Wall
What inconsistency? The reason the Bills are where they are is because our defense has CONSISTENTLY failed to stop the opponent on the last drive of the game. Their record would be even worse if the Giants had gotten the PI call. -

Calling it now: Bills are going to at least reach the AFCCG
SoCal Deek replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall
“Assaulted with disappointment”. I’m going to have to remember that one. It’s almost as good as the poster who wants to see the Bills come out with “appropriate aggression”. Love it! 😉 -
Von Miller faces arrest in domestic violence case in Dallas
SoCal Deek replied to ArdmoreRyno's topic in The Stadium Wall
Maybe you misunderstood. My point is that if he’s gone through due process, it seems like that would void any impact on the team’s cap. Whereas his individual contract would depend on what the terms of that contract require. -

SoCal Deek replied to ArdmoreRyno's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don’t have the time to read through 63 pages so forgive me if this has already been mentioned. Seems to me the NFL needs to distinguish between the personal contract between Miller and the Bills and team’s cap mathematics. Put another way, they’ve signed a contract with Von that may guarantee him his money….but his conduct off the field should not handicap the remainder of the roster. -
While this topic seems comical at first glance one has to wonder if there’s an overarching trend lurking here. If you invest so much of your Cap into a Franchise QB you eventually find yourself in a bind if he goes down, or in Cap purgatory if he doesn’t. It’ll be interesting to see if 2023 is a tipping point.

While I appreciate the optimism I’ve seen next to nothing that shows me the 2023 Bills are capable of running the table. Just enjoy the next few weeks for what they are. -

I think you’re watching with your Bills colored glasses on. Which I certainly understand. -
