I like the third rule. Otherwise just more change for the sake of change. A team that can kneel it out, earned that right. Stop the team in the other 59 minutes of the game.

Yeah man it was pretty surprising to hear he was a life long Bills fan. Enjoy his MMA coverage as well. I enjoy that he gets under Dana's skin a bit.

Thats 100% correct. Now that the playing field is leveled a bit and you dont have to rely directly on shady donors to do your dirty work Saban is upset.

You really have to listen to the entire interview to get a sense of how Feliciano feels about the Bills. He was very complimentary of the Bills organization, McDermott, Beane and Allen in particular. This is a very small portion of the interview and puts him in a bad light Was surprised to hear that Ariel is a Bills fan.

Hope he spent the year getting more strength in his am because he was throwing old Peyton Manning like ducks there at the end.

I wish I'd found this thread a long time ago. The fear mongering and absurdity is amazing!

They care. The problem is the hubris and blind ignorance that comes with the caring. The country is in a complete s storm right now, but at the very least no one is getting their feelings hurt.

Outside of the dead duck.. Is there a more annoying player in the NFL than Tyreek Hill?

Welp looks like they found the idiots. Hope she enjoys her jailcell. I am sure the inmates will treat her just as well as that retirement she took a mondo duke on.

I thought that was Spike Lee.

Can the season start already...

At 32, trying to make a comeback in football essentially means you spent all your money.

Granted, Ive never been to jail...but if I had to choose between three meals, TV, and a roof over my head or waking up next to her...thered be a great deal of thought that went into my decision.

This guy ia foolish but youre juat as foolish if you think both sides dont have idiots to this level.

Most of your points here are hyperbolic. Saffold may be old, I get that, but he has been mainly healthy for the better part of the last 6 seasons. Morse's "concussion issues" have forced him to miss one game due to injury since he signed here. Bates, may not have started more than 4 games in an NFL season, but that didnt stop the Bills from paying him starting guard money. Beyond that he helped solidify a Oline that played pretty good football down the back stretch of last season, and into the playoffs. Everyone you mentioned above was just signed or extended by the Bills. The Bills currently have 5 guys on the roster who will be competing for the swing position, each of them outside of Jacob Capra has started multiple games in the league and multiple positions along the offensive line whether it be C/G, or G/T, all of them have position flexibility. Herbig is a guard with no position flexibility. Its fine if you think the guys they have competing stink, I dont disagree in some situations. If I never had to see Cody Ford play another game for the Bills I will be happy, but Guard is not the Roster Hole that people have made it out to be leading up to and post draft. But if I am going to spend money on a guard at this point, when the Bills already have 9 on the roster, I am bringing back Daryl Williams on a 1 year deal. That said, thats why I dont understand the obsession with bringing in another guard.

Tannehill is a fine NFL QB for teams that dont have an elite QB. But if you have Tannehill, Derek Carr or Kirk Cousins as your QB you better be looking under every stone to find a guy with elite talent because you are never winning a Super Bowl with those type of guys. The downside of that, beyond not having a real chance to win a superbowl, is that they are just good enough to keep you out of the top 5 of the draft where those elite guys (though rarely) are usually found. Bottom line in the NFL, and I've said this before about other teams, is if you dont have a top 10 QB you dont have a legitimate chance beyond a lot of luck to win a Super Bowl anymore. Does it happen, yes, but not often enough to build your team around a average QB, a good running game, and a good defense. Not for nothing, if I were Willis I am not sure I'd be knocking down Tannehill's door to learn from him anyways. A lot of what Willis needs can be learned from observation alone. Study habits, and workout habits of an NFL QB can be gleaned from watching the guy.

Ive never understood why seeing someones draft board after guys have been drafted matters much in the long term.

What is the obsession with adding guards to this team? They have nine going into camp. Maybe they add another guy here or there, but highly doubt they are looking to add another swing guard or starter right now.

All good. But, Dane Johnson...you gotta do better.

Most millionaires and billionaires were failures in something else before they hit the jackpot with what made them their money. I think Fox Sports technically owns USFL, so as a multi billion dollar publicly traded company they will just light money on fire, and cancel the league. Think of it as a television production, they cancel those all the time. The only way a spring league will ever work is if it eventually functions as a feeder league for the NFL. I am not sure if you've heard of Overtime Elite (OTE) in basketball but thats starting to pick up steam as a feeder league for the NBA. They pay the kids, and then allow them to make profit off of their NIL, which is exactly why the NCAA finally gave in on the NIL deal. OTE pays their players 100k a year. If they dont get a pro contract when their pro eligibility starts the league also pays them 100k to attend the college they want to go to. OTE just signed the top college recruit of the 2024 class, so the money is enough to get the kids to bypass school. The XFL is looking to go to this model for football players. I think its pretty genius, and could work if they dont go bankrupt before they sign their 1st blue chip high school kid. I am excited to see if that model works in football.

This was exactly my sentiment when the league first started. NBA Playoffs and the beginning of baseball is a terrible time to start a new league. Should have started at the end of May, and should have all games available on youtube with a few of the games available on the TV contract. Makes sense though, the league owner loves to throw away money on upstart football leagues.

Timed speed is not the same as game speed. Being bad at YAC is as much on the QB style as it is the wideouts. Lots of scramble drills with late passes to the sidelines. Not a lot of balls thrown to the wideouts in stride. Still one of the best teams in the league. You dont get style points for timed speed and YAC. Those stats are for the media and fans. Just win, I dont care how.

Plays closest to the sideline, outside the hashes. Davis and Diggs in our offense.

Wydermyer was on my list. Bring me any of these guys

Had everything to do with the Quarterback class. The guys were small, underproduced in college and had weak arms. Teams will overdraft for production or tools, some of these guys had neither.
