    He's had known health issues for a while (toes already amputated, etc). I think it was always assumed that once his kids were done, he wouldnt coach much longer. This pretty much wraps that up.

     

    Say what you will about the guy but he stuck it out and battled through a lot of health issues in order to help get his kids as much college football spotlight and into the NFL. Good dad.

    He plans on coaching next year and they will supposedly have a portable toilet nearby,  lets see how it works out.

    It's "fared," believe it or not. A synonym for "ate." When you say someone "fared well" you're saying they "ate well." Appropriate metaphor for a team where "everyone eats."

    Not so sure about that.

     

    Faired should be used when you want the past tense of “fair” or talking about something joining together or smoothing out. Fared should be used when talking about how someone did with something, traveling, or something has happened with somebody. “Fared” is the most common of the two phrases to use.

    Comical?  Amusement is where you find it, so Sure, I'll give you that.

     

    Concerning? 

     

    Why? 

    This is peak off-season.  He's a player who made huge on-field contributions to the Bills for 3 seasons - the biggest WR contributions we've had since arguably Lee Evans and #4 on the Bills all time receiving yards list behind Reed, Moulds, and Evans.  In the Josh Allen years, you have to go down to #16 (Davis) and #22 (Beasley) to find guys who contributed half the yards.

     

    So like it or not, he's part of Bills history and as such his antics will always be of interest to some.

     

    Why does that concern you?

    Is it another way of the poster to say, I am so above this petty talk about Diggs, he or she is so much better than us.

     

    Sanctimonious crap imo, then why did he/she even respond.

    This issue is not a joke, so for me I’ll wait until the facts come out.  I table judgement on these matters as it could be true and that’s disgusting, or a $ grab by someone wanting to cash in like what happened to Araiza.  I’m glad Araiza finally had a 2nd chance with KC.  So my point is just let’s wait and we’ll find out if there is merit to the suit.  We need him so a suspension would stink.

    That is not the function of a message board, it is to make bold uneducated and ignorant declatory comments as soon as possible before someone else does.  Just like alleged "journalism" now.

    Also you need to find a lawyer to take a case like this on contingency (I am assuming) and it won’t be worth it to the lawyer unless the defendant has assets.  So the “timing” is likely that.  Civil suits are not cheap, no one is going to pursue one against someone with no money, most of the time.

    1)On the plaintiff side,  It is trivial to find a lawyer on a contingency basis if the defendant  has deep pockets which an NFL 1st rounder would have, issue is if you want good lawyer or not.

    2) Civil lawsuits can be as inexpensive as you want them to be, especially if the layer is on contingency,  next to nothing

    Yes, Dolphins drafted Fitzpatrick with 11th pick in 2018 and traded him to Steelers in 2019. It was different head coaches, but same GM, Chris Grier, who made those moves and this one. I’d be surprised if McDonald and Grier survive this season.

    I agree on McDaniels surviving this year.

     

    His unorthodox, goofy demeanor can be endearing when you are winning, when you are losing as in last year, it loses its appeal.

     

    I think Grier is "safe" for another year as the NFL doesn't need to fire a minority GM.

    WyoBillsFan. Yes. I do remember the blog. I hope she is doing well.

     

    I started posting there when I was 15 so it had a big effect on me. I remember a guy named SaviorEdwards who was the biggest Trent Edwards glazer on the planet. He started a trend of posters like SaviorBrohm.

    LOL, SaviorEdwards. that was a great poster.

    I agree with everything you said- but rather than saying it’s a fair assessment, I’d throw in a fair assessment based on projections.  
     

    If Bosa stays healthy (BIG if)  and the rookies can show they belong, I think we could be a top 5 DL.  
     

    Rousseau, Ed, Sanders, Bosa

    Hoecht, Epenesa, Jackson, soloman

    Daquan, Ogunjobi, Walker.  
     

    Not sure if there’s a defensive line in the NFL with that kind of depth.  

    Exactly, giving any "credit"to Bosa now is really a stretch, Von Miller 2.0 and pray I am wrong.

    Disagreed The original BBMB was awesome. There were so many weird characters on there. Some were absolutely nuts, but that’s what gave it charm. Reminds me of the internet in its Wild West days before everything got washed down & sanitized. Even Chris Brown posted there. The community felt a lot closer and there a lot of fun contests. People lived & died w/ their player predictions. 

    It was hit and miss but I agree there were some extraordinary posters.

     

    My favorite was McAddict.

    Then you fire th GM,full stop, you don't rely on yourself and the marketing guy to take over the responsibility. 

     

    Pegula has a history of overruling his personnel people in both orgs.

     

     

    He has a history of overruling his personnel people in both orgs does he.

     

    Educate me, what is his history of "overruling Beane and McDemott. all I can think of he was a major supporter of drafting Allen, are you going to hold that against him?

     

    Sorry this thread is absurd, starting in one direction and now just resorting to trashing the owner..
