Seems like a decent hire based on Butler's experience/resume.
I'm just wondering why McD felt the need to change/upgrade when the defensive backfield was the most consistent part of the entire team all season.
Because he wanted to. It's not about need. He wants the guys that he wants.
He's the real brains behind the defense anyway.
-
I personally don't care. McDermott can do whatever he wants with his coaches. He knows his stuff and is the primary reason the secondary did well. If he saw something he didn't like, fine.
-
If the colts are willing to trade Luck, that's a huge red flag.

If teams could evade cap hits due to medical retirements, there'd be a lot of medical retirements. Except for kickers, every guy who's played in the NFL for a few years has something or other wrong, that could be used as an excuse. The salary cap would become much less restrictive than it is now.
What? That's ridiculous to say. Players aren't going to want to retire more often because of a rule change.

Managing a team's salary cap has nothing to do with feeling bad about Wood's injury.
Careful that you don't slip off your soap box with that wet argument.
I didn't mention Woods injury, did I?
8 hours ago, Ittakestime said:The Bills have very little cap space. Already have like 14 million in dead money from Dareus.
The more reports that come the more angry I get. Someone has some explaining to do.
So Wood just stole close to 5 million and left us with 10 million dead cap?
Us? I didn't realize you were Mr or Mrs Pegula. How about you leave the cap and team management to those who actually know what they are talking about.

The defense WAS the concern this year. They were absolutely right to focus on the defense. And it still needs a lot of work.
Bring in a good QB and the offense is fine. I say bring in a QB but continue to build a dominant defense, then focus on rebuilding the oline and find more weapons on offense.
You can always compete with a dominant defense.

It would depend how the salary guarantee is structured. If it's an insurance payout then it probably doesn't count against the cap.
But if the Bills agreed to fully guarantee the 2018 salary against injury for a 30+ vet AND paid him a $6.5 million bonus, then it's a gross mismanagement of the cap.
The only qualification would be that in exchange for agreeing to guarantee 2018, Bills have the right to claw back the unearned bonus, so they'll be cap neutral in 2018.
Ultimately none of it matters that much. The Bills have plenty of space and can easily make more. Nothing they did is "gross mismanagement" of the cap. So get off your soap box.

Freddie gets his politics in on a sports show.
You can't handle someone with an opinion that differs from your own?
32 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said:I agree with this. I think Murph gets sensitive too much when he doesn't agree with a caller or a statement made by Jones.
He says "really" a little smug each time. He's just good at keeping most of his composure but you can tell he's irritated with that statement.
I agree. What's weird is I feel like he got worse once Jones started. I get the sense that he really didn't like Jones much. I will say that it didn't seem like Jones ever did anything to prepare for the show and always wanted to take time off, and complained a lot about a lot of things. Murphy probably resented that.

bizarre mayfield is listed at 6 2 though....brees is really about 5 11. That said I like Brees and Mayfield a lot.
Bills need a QB..you do whatever it takes to get the best one you can or we are looking at many years of this same BS team/franchise
Pretty sure Mayfield just measured at 6' 3/8". So he is at least an inch taller than Brees.
-
Allen can't hit the broad side of a barn. He's been missing routes on air at the senior bowl. No thanks.
I would love to take Mayfield, though.

Jones couldn't put two coherent sentences together on that show if his life depended on it. Very often, he'd just rehash what was said minutes prior. I didn't know he was going back and forth and didn't even live here in WNY.
Gone and forgotten.
I feel much the same way. He did get better, though. Still, half the time he would literally repeat what John Murphy just said.
10 minutes ago, Wily Dog said:Please NOT Freddie !!!...... Unless you like politics from the right. not me, no way.
Pretty sure they would be talking about sports, not politics.
-
Him and Murphy never have a good dynamic going. I don't think they liked each other very much.
Shouldn't be too hard to replace. For a football player, he didn't really seem to know a lot about X's and O's. I was hoping he would provide deeper insight.

Enough is enough. There's been lots of great Bills since that 90s stretch (who never won a ring) and you don't hear any of them "chiming in." Part of me hopes McD pulls a Jeff Fisher vs. Erik Dickerson move and says, "get out."
And when I start charging $2.99/month to read my posts, I expect yours to be the first PayPal account I see.
They can talk about whatever they want. Just like you. The media are the ones coming to them looking for quotes, afterall.
Nobody cares if you've had enough. Boo hoo.

I think we had better wait to see what happens in free agency before we start saying we have to do anything. A lot of those QB needy teams may have their guy from free agency. Whoever signs Cousins won't be drafting a QB high, at least.
-
Wow. I would love Ansah. Why would the Lions let him go?

Sorry I haven't posted much lately but have been tied up in a lot of high level business meetings recently so not much time to post.
High level business meetings? That doesn't even mean anything. Sounds like you are a little full of yourself.

I seriously could not care less about the size of their hands. If they can throw the ball, they can throw the ball.
What is the fear, that they will fumble more often? I'll take a couple more fumbles each year if a guy can throw the ball well.

Didn't he have some kind of family issue, which was why he was late?

I'd like to see the whole NFL move to helmets like these:
https://www.wired.com/2016/01/the-zero1-flexible-football-helmet-may-save-players-brains/
The flexibility of the material reduces the force much more effectively. If my kids ever want to play football, I'll definitely be getting them these.
All hard pads, helmets, braces, etc should be removed from the game and replaced with flexible, force absorbing materials.

Pretty funny video. Rich Eisen is a funny guy.

They should have kept Mularky. Gets to the playoffs and wins a game? Not good enough!!
Didn't he just walk away?

Not elite, but still a top 10 QB. What I like about him is he is 10 times better than any QB we have had for a decade or more. And he's available.
If we don't get him, though, we better go draft one high. Those are the two options I would be fine with (that I know of). I do not want Alex Smith, who we would have to trade for. He is a slightly better version of Tyrod.

Crazy how the world can produce such despicable people. It's just so foreign to me.
I know poverty has something to do with some of these guys and how they were raised, but still. I grew up in a poor home with a big family, but we all turned out alright. No murderers among us.

Interesting data. How is "adjusted completion %, all attempts" calculated? Shouldn't that be the same as their raw completion data, or what does it mean that it's so much higher for "all attempts" than "raw completion %"?
Please excuse stating the obvious, but if Tyrod throws over guys heads all the time or in places that require difficult catches our WR can't make, then that will be reflected in his completion percentages making it lower.
All QB stats reflect WR who make those circus catches. Witness Min. game.
It's my observation that our WR corps makes fewer of those "high degree of difficulty" haul-ins than most, but I have no data to back that, just an eyeball perception.
Tyrod has so few attempts that his stats are misleading at best. Most of his throws are dump offs.
What would it (realistically) take to get Alex Smith?

I'd be fine bringing Smith in as a free agent, but I do not want to trade draft capital for him in a year that we need all the draft capital we can muster to draft a QB and/or fill the many personnel holes.
