The path hasnt really changed, if you beat Denver, Pittsburgh, NYJ and Miami and you're in. If you lose to any one of those teams there is a very good chance you're out. 10-6 gets you there, 9-7 probably doesnt.

I'd for sure keep divisions.
- Cut the preseason in half by two games, add two joint practices per team.
- Make pass interference a 15 yard penalty with automatic first down. Eliminate PI replay, its pointless.
- Make referees full time employees.

We arent scoring as much because the explosive play has completely evaporated from our game. Aside from the one Singletary play this year, I cant remember a play where a player took a touch or pass and turned it up field for a big play or touchdown. Add that to Josh's complete inability to hit a deep pass and you have a team where defenses know they can just keep the play in front of them.

Cleveland is going to take this one. I am confident in that. I am not sure they get the Steelers when they play them in Pittsburgh, but I think they will take care of them this week.

As someone who didn't vote for Trump, but who's long viewed the Intelligence complex and MiC with suspicion, that's what this is really all about. Unelected bureaucrats dictating foreign policy to the White House rather than the other way around. This has been THE standard operating procedure for multiple presidents of administrations past, on both sides of the aisle.
Trump ran on challenging that notion -- and remember this. This was from January of 2017. Nothing to see here, just a sitting Senator threatening the incoming president on behalf of these same unelected officials:
Schumer is a perfect example on why we need term limits on these people. No more getting rich on selling out the United States.

Not a huge fan of Trump, but this whole things seems to be about a bunch of people upset and saying "that isn't the way things are done." Who cares how things have been done in the past. He is a new President and should be able to do whatever he wants. That includes holding up $$$ to investigate someone, even if it is a political rival. There is nothing illegal about holding up aid to investigate corruption.
Its their best shot because they were running out of time before 2020.

Instruments of oppression. That's what the Trump movement is dreaming of. Trump and his supporters are just corrupt people
At this point its becoming quite clear that the entire government is an affront to the people of the United States.
I have no clue why no one has stepped up and said enough of the garbage. This entire thing is disgusting and started the day Trump took office. They cant beat him so they have hung on everything he has done rather than doing the jobs they are overpaid for.

It's a fair question but also kind of ignores so many of the nuances. The stats may be the same, the wins and other results may be the same, but would you rather pay a veteran a 30.5 Million dollar contract for two years at the ages of 29 and 30, when you already know the veteran is only average to below average. Or do you want to pay a younger player 21 Million dollars for four years from the ages of 22-25, when the younger player is already at the level of the veteran and may be able to grow.
Bottom line is after the playoff game in Jacksonville where some of the worst quarterbacking I've ever seen in the league took place you couldnt keep Tyrod. Keeping him, and bringing in a rookie would have been bad for the locker room which was incredibly loyal to Tyrod. They needed a fresh start, and I am glad they have it.

Since the terms of the settlement were confidential, I'm curious about the source of your confident assertion that the settlement was $10 million?
The rest of course, is your opinion and you're entitled.

I could always be mistaken, but I don't think the terms on which his collusion suit with the NFL was settled were "you got run from the league all on your own, Fool" Confidential settlement though, so we should by rights never know.
You're mistaken. A Billion dollar industry paid two players a 10 Million dollar settlement to make the bad press go away. He is out of the league based on his own actions. The settlement and the tryout are both the equivalent of a parent giving a petulant child ice cream to stop the crying. He could of spent the last three years in the AFL or the CFL trying to prove he wanted to play football. He didnt do that because he thinks he is entitled to millions.

Kaepernick should be in the NFL, as a backup. I believe Baltimore is the best fit.
Baltimore offered him a contract and then Kaeps girlfriend posted a meme on social media calling Baltimores owner a slave owner and Ray Lewis a house boy. Have a feeling thats not where he is going. People need to wake up and understand this fool got run from the league allon his own.

None of what you said is really accurate.Pretty sure everything he said was spot on. Maybe look up Kaeps stance on Fidel Castro as well. He is a misguided fool who plays on emotions to look intelligent. In reality he is a race baiting spoiled cry baby.

there is another coming. I have a feeling it is going to be the Jets. With playoffs on the line.Ive had the same feeling for awhile. Got blasted in another thread because I said they would lose to the Browns and miss the playoffs.

not really. Browns are much more talented. The Billsy loss is to a lesser team so that’s MIA, Den or JetsAs talented as the Browns are they were 2-6 coming in. They did everything they could to let the Bills win.
Loss to a 2-6 team in the middle of a playoff race because you missed two field goals is definitely Billsy.

Tasker is either totally off his rocker or so embedded that he is scared to say what is really going on. On One Bills Live today he painted a picture of how great everything is in the building and truly believes we will go 11-5! I see 9-7 or 10-6 at best- and even that is iffy after what we have seen this season. Who else thinks 11-5 is a pipe dream?
11-5 was doable with a win against the Browns. Now they are looking at best 10-6.
They have to beat the Dolphins, Broncos, Steelers and Jets to get there, and none of those games are gimmies. You win by scoring points, and they dont do that. They got to 6-3 by beating bad teams narrowly. It was an illusion, and the chickens are coming home to roost.
Just now, LABILLBACKER said:Whatever happened to the battle cry " we're 0-0 going into Miami"....
It was found to be disrespectful to the process of honoring your opponents and was snuffed out from the teams vocabulary.

Poor work ethic at football. What does that have to do with him not being a family man. I’m not talking about him not completing his honey do list.
Its the Bills message board hyperbole. His narrative is in line with "McDermott only signs Christians."
-
Liked him a lot as a person here, but as a player he struggles big time in coverage. He would be better off fitting into a 3-4 base scheme and not being a 3 down linebacker.
They have a younger option in Germaine Pratt they probably want to see for the rest of the year. Wouldnt bring him back.

The offense is such a cluster f___. Unfortunately I don't ever see it getting better under McDermott. He has no idea what a good offensive coordinator looks like. 0 for 2. You don't get a third choice.
Better get ready for him to choose number 3, because he and Beane will get their entire contract here. I am sure of it.

No one has any idea what will happen in any of the rest of the games. There almost 1/2 season left. Assuming wins and losses looking at the schedule is a waste of time. Jmo. They have a great chance vs some of the really bad teams of course but the nfl is weird and they could beat the Ravens and lose to the Jets. I just don’t play the schedule game, personally.
Let’s hope so but i doubt it.
I think Cleveland wins the game in Cleveland, and Pittsburgh gets them back in a few weeks at home. Pittsburgh defense did look mighty scary yesterday though.

I think McDermott does a good job of motivating the team and gets them fired up to compete at a high level every game. That is a big part of an NFL HC's duties, and he does that well.
All other aspects of being a HC he does poorly.
In word, he is what I would call "replaceable."He is a below average head coach. He can dress it up anyway he wants, but despite all his motivational speaking and talk about previous regimes making poor decisions his process has produced a similar outcome as Rex and Marrone's. They were good at hovering around the playoffs as well, they just didnt have the Andy Dalton miracle.
On the upside he is probably about as good as Vrabel, O'brien and Gruden- on the downside he is about as good as Dan Quinn and Doug Marrone.

Pittsburgh is losing to Cleveland this week.

I usually dont go out before 9am but my neighbor said something about my leaves blowing into his yard (despite me spending full days on my mower and lawn sweeper this fall) so 8:30am Sunday, before church, I was on my mower running the lawn sweeper again. Also back on it from 4-5:30 after the game yesterday
Is Dawson Knox the 3rd best receiver on the team?
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted · Edited by thenorthremembers
Before last week his catch ratio was 50%, glad to see it went up. The team needs something to change to keep them in it the last part of the season, who knows maybe Knox turns it on and becomes a big weapon? Not sure why they refuse to play Duke Williams. Would be nice to have a couple reliable big bodied wide outs in there.
