In a league where 70% of players would be considered minority, the coaching ranks don’t match that. Especially on the offensive side of the ball where most NFL Head Coaching jobs are coming from nowadays.If anything this is trying to fix an artificial disparity between coaching and players that already exists. As far as whether minority people want to apply for a job, I’m sure teams can find one of thousands of retired players who would be willing to take a job in a coaching staff.
Whether this works is one thing, but I don’t think it’s a bad idea to try this.
I agree that it’s worth a try. Maybe we would find out that more qualified minorities would apply for coaching jobs if they felt they had a real chance to be hired.

They couldn't fill a minor league park for the Blue Jays last summer. And you can forget the NBA.
Right, because Canisius and the Sabres would screw an NBA team again!!

I'll never understand why this stuff makes people angry. If you get upset over this you're part of the problem. I've never been someone that felt racism was a problem in today's America because I never experienced it. Then I see how people react to those who stand up against it and now I understand.
I agree 100% and find people’s negative reactions embarrassing.

Then you have no chance of winning. Previous Darwin Award winners didn’t think they were doing anything stupid. That’s part of the qualifications.

Do it from high enough and you could win a Darwin Award. If you don’t know what that is, look it up on their web site for the details on how to qualify. Hurry though, from what I’ve read on this thread you could have some stiff competition!

LOL. You realize that a PSU alum is the reason you’re not posting this on the Las Vegas Bills message board...
Yes , so what? I appreciate what the Pegula’s have done. I now live in central Pa and know that not all alumni believe Saint Joe and the university can do no wrong. Hilarious how the police never find what independent investigators can and fans always think it’s jealousy or a conspiracy.

well you didn’t let your screen name down.Maybe the university police, state police, and student committee were too busy investigating the February 2017 hazing death at the Beta Theda Pi fraternity to do a proper investigation! Maybe they decided they dIdn’t need another Penn State scandal to contend with. Three frat brothers were sentenced to jail time in April 2019. Investigate and find nothing seems to be the Penn State “process”.

You sad, sad little man, Chandler!
You fail to realize the iron clad grips on their coaching jobs Matt Patricia has in Detroit and Mike Vrabel has in Tennessee.?
Honest to goodness how are they still alive as a reporting institution?
Please don't anyone tell me it is click bate, because no job would be so worth sullying my own name with useless, thoughtless, tripe.
Is “sullying” a reference to a former BN reporter who wrote similar crap. I like it. I have really enjoyed not being “ sullied” this season!!!!

And probably millions of dollars by playing him and making him a whipping boy/punchline.
Looking at the list of NFL back-ups and third-stringers, NP could well have been a very competent back-up QB and one of the greatest pre-season practise players of all-time. Four years as a back-up with almost no NFL playing time and yes maybe he would have learned, watched and then was given an opportunity much more mature and capable. Maybe he would have succeeded.
Look at his predecessor Tyrod Taylor.
Very simply I feel somewhat sorry for Peterman and blame McD for creating this sham that all started with him and his dismantling of the O in 2017 and the terrible offensive coaching and playcalling.They are to blame for putting Peterman in when he wasn't ready and not giving him the tools (players and schemes) to succeed and ruining what as said could have been a nice career as a buck-up.OMG, we cut Jeff Tuel way to early!!!!I If we had kept him he would be ready to start this week.

You could be 60 years old and still be too young to remember Kemp.
That doesn't mean he shouldn't be in a discussion about the best bills quarterbacks. In a QB discussion, should fans in their 20's ignore Kelly because they never saw him play?

1991-93
Leafs to semifinals a few times
Jays win 2 World Series
Bills to four Super Bowl
We got the game live in Canada, that let the US feed know the final score before the tape delay was shown in the US
and most people watching the tape delay already knew the final score
The Finland game Sunday morning was shown live in the US
I lived in Buffalo at the time and we got/ still get live TV from Toronto. Saw it live and it was the most tense, nerve racking, and exciting sporting event I have ever seen. The Finland game was almost anticlimactic.

On a few occasions yesterday I saw Allen calling out a blitzer and blocking assignments, possibly even calling an audible because there was something he was seeing and didn't like. I don't think he did that in his first couple of games and to me that's a sign of development.
I saw that also. He can learn to call out blitzs, blocking, and read defenses without always having to throw 30-40 passes. There's lots of ways to learn and develop.

This team has been in existence for 58 years. They have had only 13 years in which they have won more than 9 games, only 18 years in which they made the playoffs, and only 9 years in which they won an actual playoff game. If we are honest, in those 58 years, they were truly a championship caliber team in only 5 or 6 of those seasons. I have been a fan of this team since I attended my first game in 1968, so I missed 2-3 of those few championship caliber seasons. My adult son has been a fan of this team since he was a young boy and they have made the playoffs only twice since he has been watching them - and they haven't been a championship caliber team in the entire time he has been watching them.
My son and I are very close. He lives and works in another state and we talk 2-3 times a week. Many of our conversations are about the Bills (and Sabres) and we talk after every Bills game. The Bills have not been very good for most of the years I have followed them, and rarely in the time my son has followed them - and, as fans, we both have experienced our share of frustrations. Yet, they are the source of so many wonderful memories we share and continue to be a positive part of our relationship.
In the end, it is a game. Wins and losses are what ultimately defines a team. What we choose to take away from our experiences defines us as fans. Fortunately, my son and I have found positive ways to balance our love for this team and how it impacts our lives.
Go Bills!
I agree wholeheartedly! Winning is great but there are a lot of wonderful memories that can be enjoyed regardless of winning or losing. My dad has passed but I still have lots of memories of watching games and talking Bills with him. You and your son keep enjoying the memories. In the end that is what really matters!

You're right that we don't have a lot of extra draft picks. But we do have some draft picks that - hopefully - Beane will utilize well.
But you're comment about cap space - while literally true - is misleading.
According to over-the-cap, we currently have the 4th most available cap space in 2019 and the #1 most available cap space in 2020.
We have far more money to spend on FAs going forward than the average NFL franchise. Next year, we have $85 million in cap space - the average team has $39 million. That's a significant, meaningful difference. And the Bills advantage in 2020 is even greater.
Between our picks and our available cap space, a good GM has the resources to build a good roster by 2020 (if not sooner).
It's not an accident that the cap future is bright for the Bills. Beane's talked about it and his intentions are clear. The only question is will he effectively use his picks and cap money? That's not clear. Beane's never been a GM before and we don't know if he has the skill to build a good roster.
Btw, my suspicion is that Beane will try to draft a #1 WR. Talented WRs too expensive as FAs. He'll mostly try to get solid starters - but not overpriced superstars - with the cap dollars.
I agree with the you about cap space but I am not sure about a WR #1. If we have a chance to draft DE Nick Bosa of Ohio State with our #1 do you still think/ want a WR? I'm not knocking your opinion just proposing an alternative. I keep hearing that Bosa is a top 5, possibly #1 pick. If Bosa is there, where ever we pick, is there a WR you would still pick? Do you have someone in mind that I can watch for?

Although there is no way to know 100%, I believe that Richie would have been just fine and performing at the same level as last year if McBeane did not initiate a pay cut. While on the team, Richie was a good citizen, teammate, and excellent player (pro bowl). The structure of the team really helped him.
There was little reason to initiate a pay cut with Richie. The line (especially Dawkins), our QB, and Shady have suffered as a result of this and other decisions. It would have been nice to give our rookie QB a better offensive line - especially given how raw he is and how many assets we gave up to get him. I dare say that Josh and Shady would be much better off with an offensive line that included Cordy and Richie.
Just my two cents.
Excellent player, yes! Good citizen and teammate, it seemed so but we're there warning signs that were starting to show up? Could little things have started to show up that might have factored into asking him to take a pay cut? Did Richie just suddenly snap over the course of a few weeks of contract negotiations? It has to make you wonder. I don't know but it is possible.
Just my two cents.

Nah. Ride or die this season with Allen. This isn't a contending team, so keep the draft picks. If Allen gets hurt, we may be subjected to more NP, and a street FA will be signed, but it will likely result in a better draft position.
IMO a team should trade away picks for immediate, "impactful" help at QB only if the team has a shot at conteding.
I think this is the way Bills management is going. Allen or bust! If Allen gets hurt pick up a FA and see if he is worth keeping next season. We need the draft picks.

I love discussion but some of what I see is not that
I've watched them since opening day 1960. Believe me, there have been far worse times.
From one old man fan to another I have to agree with Drdawkins that a lot of Bills fans like complaining better than winning. Think back to the 90's when the bills were the best in their history. Remember 'the bickering Bills'? There was some contention but the media and the fans made that out to be worse than it was. There were fans that complained Kelly couldn't win enough, so-and-so player(s) and coaches sucked, play calling was bad et cetera et cetera.
I agree that some complains are well deserved but a lot are over the top. You just have to expect negativity on this message board.

I'm off the opinion that JA isn't quite ready to start. I do think he can still learn by watching a defense that is using their full play book. MC and maybe even the QB coach should be right next to him explaining each defensive look and how they might be trying to disguise the defense. They can explain each presnap formation and what they are trying to do. I think he can learn this way a little easier than being under center. He can tell them what he sees and they can tell him if he is right or wrong. I think this might benefit him for the first few games of the season. Then if NP faulters and JA is reading defenses well from the sideline he can earn starts.
I know some will disagree, but I think he can stand to learn a llittle more by watching rather than learning while he gets smacked around.
