    Ugh.  Just more teams playing in playoff games with half their starters out.   Go back to 16 games and increase to two bye weeks.  The greed of the league and players, since they have to agree to it, has no bounds.

    Do you think people b*tched and moaned this much when the league went from 14 games to 16 games in 1978? There probably wasn't really anyone complaining about greed then. They all just went with the flow

    Not me. Adams age scares the heck out of me. He's also coming off his lowest ypr since his second year in the league. We can make excuses for him and say his QB play was bad but that's not a gamble I want to take on a guy his age. It would almost certainly have to be structured as a one year deal. 

     

    One of the things I love about Aiyuk is that he seems to be a low volume target receiver. Each of the last two seasons he had 114 targets in 17 games and 105 targets in 16. Adams is more like Diggs, maybe even worse so in that he's averaging like 170 targets per season whereas Diggs would average about 160. I like the idea of spreading the ball around more. 

     

    The top four targeted receivers for the 49ers last year were all around the same:

     

    Aiyuk 105

    Kittle 90

    Samuel 89

    McCaffery 83

     

    Who were his QBs again?

    This is where Beane does some restructures and we get excited and then he does nothing with the money

    The Niners still don't have to trade him. The Bengals told both Tee Higgins and Trey Hendrickson to pound sand and that's what I think the Niners will do here. Shannahan is a big enough personality to handle a disgruntled player. 

    So, that's what they were doing at the beach. I thought it was weird to see 2 guys punching sand. But now it totally makes sense

    AP: Jon Gruden loses bid for reconsideration in NFL lawsuit

    Cry me a river for Jon Gruden, a racist pig who got what he deserved when the leaked emails exposed him for the hypocrite he is.  This isn't an issue of someone being falsely accused of doing wrong or being denied the opportunity to rectify an "injustice".  It's simply a ruling on a legal proceeding.  If Gruden doesn't like the rules under which his lawsuit moves forward, he can always withdraw it.

     

    Thumbs up for whomever leaked the emails BTW.

    There were some people that defended Gruden when this went down in regard to the "Rubber lips" comment he made to I think it was Upshaw  or Demaurice Smith at the time. It was a phrase that Gruden used frequently to call out anyone he thought was lying to him. Because he said it in an email to Upshaw, people took it as a racist statement. But I saw different people who knew Gruden defend him when he said that

    I know we all hate him, but his resume is next to none, and he has a new job with Fox, but would he be a good Qb coach for Josh, maybe in the offseason like josh had in Jordan Palmer. Maybe just as a mentor to help him see things and do things he may never thought of, Josh has thr baiscs down now he needs to refine, if he could have Bradys prowes combined with his athletisism he could be pass brady as the GOAT.

    Thoughts?

    I love Josh and I think he will be a HOFer, but what kind of Kool Aid are you drinking? Did you have a 30 year old Ecto Cooler? I think it may be damaging some brain cells

    1. Doug Flutie, he divided the locker room and fanbase like no other.

    2. Doug Marrone, he pretty much made EJ Manuel a wasted pick by not starting him and then left town and left us to deal with it.

    3, Mike Williams I wanted Bryant McKinnie as had big time doubts Mike could shift to LT, he was so bad he couldn't even start at RG.

    4. Ralph Wilson, people may praise him for keeping the team in Buffalo but he was a horrible owner IMO. 

    Huh?

    Ten Years Since Ralph The Good, The Bad, The Weird...?

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I got to thinking that we are closing out the tenth year since Ralph passed and the Bills were bought by the Pegulas. Many many changes have happened so figured it would be fun to chronicle and look back as a group.

     

    The Good

    • The team ending the drought. It hung like a dark cloud forever and then in the most unlikely of seasons as the team was clearly in transition lightning struck and it ended in the best of fashion. The 2017 season will hold a special place to me as a fan after going through the drought and attending so many games in that period. 
    • Josh Allen being draft AND developed AND then turning into a demi god of a QB that even Chief fans fear. The fact the Bills actually did their homework and drafted a QB was cool. The fact they helped to properly develop him was honestly surprising. The fact this QB then worked to become the player he is now is truly stunning and something I will never take for granted.
    • Division titles, playoff wins, and the team turning into a perennial contender. I get it the SB win and ring is needed, but it has been awesome the last bunch of years in this time and plenty of memorable games and moments
    • The 2020 season. For those of us who were little dudes/dudettes or not born during the 90s run the idea of playing to make a SB and the energy excitement leading up to it was something we never got. 2020 was a dream season despite not being able to see it in person and after they beat BAL it was pretty surreal to know they actually were that close. Sucks they didn't close but for a lot of us it was that first feeling of "oh wow this is awesome and completely different".
    • Pegula's ownership and commitment to the team. Overall they have invested heavily in the team and facilities which constantly get rave reviews from players. The brand of the team is as strong as it ever has been which just feels other worldly. Ralph was fine and a good owner but the team was long in the tooth when the Pegula's took over just in terms of brand and being a 21st century team. They also have stayed the heck away from the team in terms of football decision for a while now other then writing checks which is all that is needed
    • The evolution of Bills Mafia to something nationally that has a real vibe and connection across the board. Winning helps of course, but it does feel like the fanbase has evolved and widen which is awesome.
    • New Stadium. Whether it ended up being a reno or a new stadium something was needed for the long term and it is nice this is done.
    • LeSean McCoy. Major shout out to him as he was just a great player to watch in his time here and was a huge reason for the drought going away.
    • McBeane. All they've done is stabilize the team and turn them into a consistent winner.
    • Helping to accelerate the Patriots decline. This was quite fun to see happen and put them down.
    • Kyle Williams getting to go to playoffs.
    • Beating Dallas on Thanksgiving

     

    The Bad

    • The Rex Ryan era. Buffalo wasted two years of good talent and time with Rex who looked as though the game had passed him pretty quickly. Worse was the fact the team constantly had drama leaking out that seemed never ending.
    • 13 Seconds. I have generally avoided mentioning this much as I believe Josh and the boys will get a ring before the decade closes, but they wasted a golden opportunity with the offense at its peak because of coaching. 
    • Damar Hamlin nearly dying on the field. Happy it turned out ok, but this was just awful and it also felt like the season ended that night.
    • Aaron Williams career having to end due to injury. Yes Landry cheap shot'd him, but the game against NE in 2015 week 2 resulted in him being carted off the field in ambulance. Just as he was turning into a truly good safety his career ended short. That sucked.
    • Eric Woods career ending in it's prime. I hate we never got to see Wood with Josh as it would've been so fun. The two players I will hammer forever as wall of fame guys during the drought are Wood and K Williams.
    • The incoming PSL's which are going to alter the stadium seating and fanbase in a sizable way. The stadium will be loud still, the fans will come, but you are going to lose communities of fans who have sat together forever because of this as they move to cheaper seats or worse can't go at all. It is a crappy price the fans have to pay to keep the team as it finishes evolving to todays NFL.
    • Weather forcing home games to be moved either time or location wise.
    • The limited amount of fans who got to see the team in 2020. The team finally evolves into its best form in 30 years and maybe 10,000 people total were live in Buffalo to see them. I understand COVID and why, but still was tough.
    • Soul crushing losses to NFC teams for four years in a row. 2020 Cards Hail Mary, 2021 TB OT loss, 2022 Vikings OT loss, 2023 Eagles OT loss. Ironically after these losses the Bills went on runs the remainder of the year, but for four years in a row now the Bills have played in game of the year type games and lost.
    • Turf on Thanksgiving. Successfully took Tre White and Von who were both each playing at a high level out for the year.
    • Tre White going from future hall of famer to being cut. This one forever sucks as he had become a true all pro and his career was forever altered with the knee injuries.
    • The Raiders loss in 2014 that took the Bills out of the playoffs. This was a fun team with that defense and it fell apart at the worst time possible. Only silver lining was Marrone left then (although I think even with the playoffs he would've tried to leverage leaving anyway).

     

    The Weird

    • Vontae Davis retiring at half time. Incredibly weird weird thing while somewhat funny.
    • LeSean McCoy's female only party which ended up leaking online and yeaaa god knows what was happening there
    • The start of Bills fans throwing adult toys at Tom Brady every home game from 2016 on. Again hilarious but weird
    • Bills fans gaining national recognition somewhere around 2014-15ish for just doing outlandishly insane things which includes breaking tables, setting themselves on fire, qui pro quo adult acts for jerseys, and many other things. We have a brand and part of it is apparently we are certifiably insane as a group
    • Sean McD's apparent 9/11 pump up speech on team work
    • Doug Marrone apparently meeting Tim Graham in an airport hanger to discuss his criticism of the football team and the fact he actually branded himself Saint Doug
    • Everything related to the Rex Ryan era
    • The color rush game where the NFL allowed the Bills to wear Red and the Jets green successfully making the game unviewable for those with seeing issues. Simple solution was available for this not to happen
    • Weird weird weather during the 2021 season. For some reason virtually every home game that year had incredibly strong weather ranging from a monsoon vs the Texans, hurricane winds vs NE, snow multiple times and then to finish the year the frozen playoff game vs NE. 
    • Allowing a TD against the Jets in the 2016 finale as they decided on the kick return to just not touch the ball or call a fair catch.
    • Nathan Peterman ever being a starting QB and every snap of his existence.
    • Dan Carpenter getting laser'd in the eyes on field goals in 2014 in Detroit
    • Kyle Orton's outfits
    • Why the Bills were not credited for a TD against the Texans in the 2019 playoff game on the kickoff in the 2nd half. Never has been explained fully and it has felt the refs gave Houston a favor there.
    • Both London Bills games
    • All of the Bills away games in general against Jacksonville. Just weird weird losses ranging from heart breaking London 2016, boring playoff game with zero offense 9-3 2018, whatever the heck the 2021 loss in Jags was, and last years London loss that successfully took out half the Bills defense for the year.

    Only 10 years? I feel like it's been 15

    Does James Cook leave or get an extension if he keeps this level of play up?

    I think walk. Davis will have 2 years in the system and can take over, draft another mid round RB that year and keep cycling through. 

     

    The ONLY thing that changes the equation is if he becomes a real receiving threat. That could make them re-consider. I don't just mean a decent check down option. I mean Kamara or McCaffrey who teams design pass plays for. I don't see Cook ever being that but if he were then it might tip the balance for them. 

     

    Never draft one day 1 either. 

    This I disagree with but it has to be a special special kind of talent.

    Bingo!!

     

    I don't even stand up during meal service to London--you know these "flight attendants" are gonna see me coming and "lead me on" with some sort of signal that they would enjoy it if I  grind my johnson into their behinds on my way to the head.

     

    I figured that out after my first half dozen trips over.  Now, I just hold my water until they pass my row.  Live and learn!

    I think you're naive if you think any any woman may not lead you on at any random time. These are professional athletes with lots of money. I think it's very safe to assume that even at work, yes, a woman can lead a guy on at work. I'm not saying it happened in this situation but for you to make a sarcastic remark like it would never ever ever ever happen is just naive.

    Let's say you got engaged to a woman. She comes home from work, and tells you about the man who was grinding on her without her consent. How would you feel about that situation?

    It's grinding. My main concern would be something far worse than that. Would I want it to happen? No, but to sue him for it? Come on. It's the same if I had a wife, a girl at work put her a** into me on purpose and hit on me, would I think my wife would like it? Probably not, but I'm not suing her over it either
