  1. So now we are going to go back and penalize all the teams who tanked over the years? Does anyone really care? Seems like a dumb thing to focus energy on.
  2. Rodgers wasn't doing his team any favors either. He certainly didn't look like the MVP in that game to me.
  3. My goodness. What a horrible team to be a fan of. And to think their best QB in franchise history threw more INT's than TD's and lost more games than he won.
  4. But Green Bay always chokes in the playoffs, so it was meant to be anyway.
  5. You can say that, but they have completely turned over the roster on offense and upgraded at virtually every position. We also have two elite superstars on offense with Allen and Diggs, plus budding stars in Davis and Knox.
  6. I'm sure it came down to New York ensuring that their only NFL team stays in New York. It would be pretty embarrassing to not have a single NFL team, given the size and prominence that a state like New York has, and given that the NFL headquarters is in New York.
  7. I defended Gilmore quite a bit when he was here, but I do think his time as a Bill was inconsistent. He tended to not play super well the first half of the season (sometimes due to injuries, other times due to just plain poor play) and then turn it on in the second half of the season and look like one of the best corners in the league. When he left and went to New England, that same thing happened. In fact, NE fans were openly bashing him and calling for him to be released for the first few games. Predictably, Gilmore pulled it together and ended the season on a really strong trajectory. After that he brought more consistency to his game and consistently performed like an elite cornerback.
  8. NFL GM Power Rankings: Bills' Brandon Beane/Sean McDermott, Rams' Les Snead top the board https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-gm-power-rankings-bills-brandon-beane-sean-mcdermott-rams-les-snead-top-the- High praise for Beane and McDermott from NFL.com in their NFL GM Power Rankings. Here are the top 5: 1) Brandon Beane/Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills "The Bills' transformation since McDermott's hire in January 2017 could be taught in a college-level course on how to rebuild a franchise. McDermott helped to hire Beane in May of that year, and they've hit every right note since: from big trades (Stefon Diggs, moving up for Josh Allen) and savvy draft picks (Tre'Davious White, Dion Dawkins, Matt Milano) to knowing which veterans to reward (Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde) and when to move on (John Brown, LeSean McCoy). The Bills have a defensive coach, yet prioritized building an offensive roster around Allen. They always seem to find value in free agency (SEE: this year's pickups of Jamison Crowder, O.J. Howard, Rodger Saffold, DaQuan Jones and Duke Johnson). No team is doing it better, and these two -- along with Allen -- deserve credit for helping to get funding for a new Bills stadium." 2) Les Snead, Los Angeles Rams 3) Kevin Colbert, Pittsburgh Steelers 4) Brian Gutekunst, Green Bay Packers 5) Jason Licht, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Interesting to have Beane / McDermott so high (I'm assuming they incldue McDermott since he predated Beane and had a significant hand in building the roster, especially key pieces like Tre White, Micah Hyde, and Jordan Poyer). I think there is no doubt that they have earned a ton of credit and respect around the league, and it is showing in rankings like this. I suppose I would say 1st is a little bit too high for them, but I can definitely get behind ranking them in the top 5. Go win a championship and earn that #1 spot!
  9. "Pressure is something you feel when you don't know what the hell you're doing." - Peyton Manning "You got one guy going boom, one guy going whack, and one guy not getting in the endzone." - John Madden "If teams keep playing us this way, it's going to be like this." - Peyton Manning "When it's too hard for them it's just right for us!" - Marv Levy
  10. They really have as much as they want. They could free up about $40 million more if they really needed to.
  11. Oh. Wow. There's probably a 0% chance that Josh Allen knows about that.
  12. I'd complain about punctuation, but he actually does a pretty good job with his apostrophes.
  13. I couldn't understand what he was asking him. Something about $312k?
  14. This was already discussed. And he said shorts, right? Not underwear. The OP started the other one too? Man, this is really bothering him.
  15. If they are a good player they get the 5th year option. If they aren't they don't.
  16. Is he really a star QB?
  17. Ascending: Jamison Crowder. He is a good player and he has an elite QB throwing to him now. I think he'll have his best year as a pro. Descending: Dane Jackson. While he is a decent player, I think the Bills will bring in a vet and a rookie who will both play above him on the depth chart, relegating Jackson to 4th string once Tre White comes back. Shocking: Gregory Rousseau. With an elite pass rusher in Miller to account for by defenses, Rousseau will see favorable matchups and have double digit sacks. Ed Oliver should have a great year too. Packing: Matt Haack. I think the Bills will draft or sign another punter to compete in camp and they will win the job.
  18. Keyshawn? Who the heck is that?
  19. I feel like this was true of a lot of the Bills players from that era. They were cocky and full of themselves in those earlier years, but as time went on they matured and became better people. Took longer for some of them, shorter for others.
  20. Maybe Tre White could be on that list too. Soon Von Miller will have to be on that list.
  21. A rookie Tom Brady card sold for over $3 million recently. Maybe in 10 years Allen's will be going for that much too (or more, given inflation).
