Agree mostly. But not with Marino. There is no way Marino is in the same tier as Brady/Montana/Peyton/Elway/Brees. All those guys were winners. They all had numerous conference championships and at least one superbowl. Marino, not so much. Marino was a bit like James Lauranitis, the LB commonly known as "pile jumper". Great stats, but in the end, not a true difference maker.

Let me make sure I have this straight. Dude hasnt played a down in the NFL in 5 yrs, and he'd be one of the best backup QBs in the league?

Gotta say, I think this is a truly terrible idea. FG are not typical football plays. They are "special" plays. I'd like to eliminate XP and FG completely. They arent American football. These plays are closer to futbol than football. Think it through. A typical football play involves some combination of blocking, tackling, running, passing, and receiving. AFG involves blocking and kicking. And not even true football blocking. More like just standing in front of the defense. No athleticism involved, as opposed to reach blocks, pulls, pins, combo blocks that you see in a typical football play. Why anyone would take a "non-football" part of football and try to decide a football game on futbol kicks is beyond me. Here is my idea. Eliminate place kicks completely. As above, they are "special" plays, not real football plays. Have all PATs be 2 pt conversions. Under current rules, FG are basically "partial credit", for coming close, but not quite scoring a TD. I think this partial credit remains a good idea. But change the rules. Instead of a guy kicking a ball from 40 yds out to determine the partial credit, make it a football play. Give the offense an advantage. Go 11 on 9, or 11 on 7, for one play, all or nothing. Imagine the creative offense you could see. Far more exciting to have a game won or lost on a real football play, rather than our current system of having a guy "I keek a touchdown" to decide a game.... But yeah, lets instead fill a stadium to watch guys kick FG. SMH

Seriously dude, this thread is nuts. After years of jauron, Rex, and the rest of the stooges, you want to roll the dice on a new coach? I hear Hank Bullough might be available.

Mental illness can take many forms. I have little doubt that this was a hate crime I also think it’s unlikely that this kid is “normal”. my best guess is he was “a bit off” for a long time. Then accessed neo fascist web pages and thought that he could be a hero for his right wing internet buddies.

Hi south, I'm out of town as well. My son and I and a coupel friends have gone to Bills games the past few years. We stay downtown. Close to a bunch of brewpubs, restaurants and Sabres game if that works out. Not expensive. Have stayed at airbnb, Hyatt, and Hampton Inn. Its a pretty easy drive to OP. We've parked in Hammer Lot and the really large lot across from Hammer Lot, maybe a bit further from the stadium. Both were fun. Friendly people, interesting antics. Seats in the lower bowl corners 30 rows up are a really good price point. Think maybe we'll try to hit up an early season game that isnt freezing this year.

Are you sure about that? I’m pretty sure that Ruben Brown was the holder back in the 1990s. I know that I heard he led the NFL in holding.

On the podcast Joe Buscaglia suggested “hold god” But that name is already taken by Ruben Brown. I’ll be here every night till Thursday…

Bills hosting Green Bay for thanksgiving nitecap is unlikely I think. that slot has been for division rivals 9 of past 10 years. Exception was Bills /Saints.

You seriously think that singeltary is a better RB than Barkley? Seriously? Im not saying Bills should trade for Barkley. I think he’s probably a luxury that Bills can’t afford. But saying that singeltary is a better NFL RB than Barkley is ludicrous, and demonstrates that you understand very little of American football.

Yup. if you think about it K gun reallyshould have been M gun. 100% 5-6 Db in 13 games? I can’t believe that’s correct. no short yardage defense in 13 entire games? Do you have a link for that stat? Hh

sorry dude, you have no idea what you’re talking about. A tenth of a sec in the 40 is worth 2 inches? Where does that math come from. Got any links? Didnt think so.

Basic arithmetic indicates that 0.1 sec is about 1 yd in a 40

Shoot. Wanted Stout on Bills

Dude. You can say as many words as you want. Doesn’t change the facts. None of those players are winners. It really is that simple.

“Almost every 4th rounder …has become a good starter for the team. “ this statement is simply wrong. Not a matter of opinion, simply wrong. here’s the list of 4th round picks since 2011, excluding Taron Johnson and Gabe Davis DaNorris Searcy Chris Hairston Ron Brooks Nigel Bradham Duke Williams Ross Cockrell Cardale Jones you make the call.

DaNorris Searcy Chris Hairston Ron Brooks Nigel Bradham Duke Williams Ross Cockrell Cardale Jones Taron Johnson Gabe Davis who are these guys? They are all of the Bills 4th round picks in the last 10 yrs Was trading a 4th rounder to get “your guy” in the 1st round really a desperate move? Time will tell. If Elam is a quality player, a 4-5 yr starter or better, it’s a good move.

Huh. just tuned into the draft. I vaguely remember a few posters here telling me no way that Han was a first round pick. 16 is pretty solidly in first round.

Nick Cross jordan stout

The comparison to Diggs is pretty good. Dotson is a very good route runner, has excellent speed, and elite hands and ball skills. He’s not a big guy. But where does this “can’t get off press” nonsense come from? The guy played most snaps as Z. He wasn’t a slot receiver at PSU. Gained 2000 yds the past 2 seasons, including the covid shortened season. Against OSU, who puts as many DBs in the NFL as anyone, and plays mostly man coverage, Dotson had over 100 yds in each of the past two seasons.

Cant believe that hondo missed the fact that Kay Stephenson was on both the starting QB and HC list....

I wouldn’t pick any of those three. Metchie is JAG Walker is talented but seemed unmotivated at PSU. Certainly never played up to his talent level. Wouldn’t take a punter in the 3rd ever. I think Stout from PSU is a better punter than Azaiza. Higher percent of punts inside 20, allowed about one tenth the return yardage that Azaiza did. Cross is very good, smart player, always around the ball. Third might be too high,but a better choice than the other 3.

Nope. 1 arrest per year is actually a far lower rate than a comparable non-NFL population. 1 per 90 man squad is 1.1% # arrests, all crimes for 21-24 yo was 1.2 million in 2019. Us population age 21-24 was 21 million. https://www.ojjdp.gov/ojstatbb/crime/ucr.asp?table_in=1 A little fancy math and you get an arrest rate of 5%. I wonder if crimes by NFL players are actually under-reported.

I’m going to second the Jahan Dotson. I think he’ll be available at 25, or may need to go up a bit higher. IMO, his best comp is Paul Warfield. One of the smoothest WR I’ve seen. and has extraordinary hands and ball skills. Biggest knocks against him are lack of top top speed (ran 4.41 at combine, 4.33 at psu). That’s about what Lee Evans ran. and size. Not the biggest guy, but did 13 reps at 225 at combine. Not bad at 180 lbs. I have no real inside knowledge. I’m guessing he goes between 20-35.
