Link? I don't remember him saying specifically home games.

Hilarious that you take your opinion as gospel. It may bother you, but it doesn't bother everyone. Tons of people are going to buy these. Your opinion is not more valid than theirs.

Then don't buy them. Problem solved.

Link? I don't remember him saying that about home games. Just games in general.

First reason is bad weather games. Second is opponents. Nothing else causes a difference. EDIT: I'd have to look at his injuries too. I remember him dealing with injuries for some stretches of games.

So you think there is a scenario where our 49-32 (.605 win percentage), multiple playoff game winning, multiple division winning, extremely well respected coach is going to lose his job after this season? It would take a massive scandal. That's the only possible way. You might as well find another team to root for if you don't like Sean McDermott. He is going to be the coach for a very long time. You don't let coaches like him who have built a winning organization and culture go. There isn't a single person in the organization that deserves more recognition for what Buffalo has become than him. And frankly, I find it hilarious and sad that there are Bills fans who don't like him. Grow up.

OT? He's no offensive tackle.

I wish it was someone more trustworthy claiming this.

Packers are in London that week, aren't they.

They came to Buffalo in 2020. It's not like it has happened a bunch of times in a row. Can't include the playoffs. That is determined by seeding.

Passing highlights from Dolphins practice (called completions everywhere else).

That may be the topic of Brady's next tik tok video.

Schobel was a good player. Better than Hughes, and the stats show that. I don't think either should be on the wall of fame.

Nothing you said there qualifies a player to be on the wall of fame. Being a good player and well respected should not be enough. Agreed. Schobel was honestly a better player than Hughes too, and he will not make the wall. Hughes isn't going to make the wall either, and if he does, that significantly cheapens the honor. It should be reserved for elite players with stats, accolades, and historic contributions to the team.

Hughes was a good player. He wasn't really a leader. I see that some fans really like him, and I kind of wonder what is super appealing about his personality. Not that I didn't like him, because I did, but I just always felt like he was just one of Bills players, not some player that everyone loved because of his great leadership and personality like a Kyle Williams or Fred Jackson. So, in my mind I don't view him as a wall of fame candidate at all. As a player he had no pro bowls or all pro seasons. He just played a lot of football. That shouldn't get you on the wall of fame. Another guy I don't think should be added to the wall is Fred Jackson (because he wasn't a great player, just a good player on a horrible team), but I would put him on way before Jerry Hughes. I'm totally in support of Kyle Williams being added. There's another thread about Butch Byrd and that's a no brainer. There are a lot of players I would want to be added before Hughes. What is it about Hughes that you are drawn to as a fan besides just the long tenure that speaks to his worthiness as a wall of fame candidate?

Canada and Eastern Europe. So basically the cold places. And a few others...

Yeah. I don't even see the point of a poll like this. Poll a team who picked one of the other guys and they'd win on their respective message boards too.

This has been my stance for a couple of years now. Hughes was a good player. Anyone ever claiming he was elite or even a great player is just wrong. He had some good moments here. I'm really looking forward to the future development of the defensive line.

100%.

Do we know contract details yet? I'm interested to see what he got.

I'd much rather open against a crappy team. Give the Bills a week to warm up.

Yep. We need to restock the shelves. But, having a bunch of former Bill coaches and GM's will have benefits too. Beane will have inside knowledge into those organizations and will be more privy to players becoming available, etc. Even if they brought in guys he recommended, it is still an uphill battle for talented players to make a difference on really bad teams and organizations. We saw plenty of talented players come through Buffalo during the drought, and it didn't make a measurable difference.

Not only that. They often get overlooked and so you can bring in some great individuals if you know how to find them. There are talented individuals working for every one of the 32 NFL teams. It's not fair to judge every single employee by the foibles of upper management and coaching.

Hey, if Whaley gets the job we should get draft picks for developing him...

Hope Tre White is back for that game. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
