    I don't know, to be honest. I had assumed Howard was coming to Buffalo. There should be plenty of additional options through the draft and post-June cuts. Maybe the Bills should call Marshawn Lynch?! I saw him on the Westworld season opener the other night while locked up in my apartment waiting out this coronavirus apocalypse.

     

     

    I think we all thought that too about Howard.  I guess if there was another one to pursue, I wouldn't mind taking a crack at Freeman.  I think he could rejuvenate his career here and would be a good compliment to Singletary.

    He might be too expensive and not want to share carries with Singletary.

     

    We're almost done with free agency. Just need to add a vet RB to replace Gore and maybe Chris Harris too. After the draft, Beane also needs to extend White, Milano, and Dawkins.

     

    Of the OP's list, I think the following players end up getting replaced with draft picks and other free agents: Yeldon, Wade, Foster, Croom, Boettger, Thompson, Dodson, Phillips, Lewis.

     

    Interesting note: 5 players on the roster have connections with Carolina, all on defense (Butler, Star, Klein, Addison, Norman).

     

    Which FA RB do you see us going after?  Because we are so thin at RB, I think Yeldon stays.  Not a guaranteed lock yet, but I think his chance are good.

    Maybe... I don’t hate it, but it’s gotta be a damn good deal. I think he’s finding his market is way less than he wanted, and if that’s the case I would be fine taking him. I like the appeal of a turn key back who can get 12-20 carries dependent on need and you know what you’re getting. 

    Exactly.  I think we'll find a way to bring him in cheaper than what he's expecting since his market value should be low

  4. Come on now.  I'm tired of hearing this.  We're still a growing team.  We need to aim for taking the division this year and get at least a playoff win.  Of course SB is the ultimate goal, but we gotta be realistic.  Baltimore and KC are still dominant teams who could both make deep playoff runs.  We still have lots to prove before we can say "SB or bust."  And trust me, I hate the Patriots just as much as anyone on this board, but we still have to worry about them.  They still have a great defense and TB was just an average QB last year and we still couldn't jump that hurdle.  We all know what BB is capable of, no matter who is their QB, i.e. Matt Cassel.  I'm very optimistic that the division is indeed ours this year, but it won't be easy.  And I already don't like that expectation/prediction from the NFL "experts" that the division is ours this year, cuz we all know that they're always wrong.

  5. Yeah, I don't agree with this at all.  It's so bad in so many ways.  I do see your point about them potentially gaining more than 15 yards.  And then on the flip side, if they don't convert, then the returning team will get the ball on their opponents 25 yard line.  Typically, whether an onside kick is successful or not, the team who recovers the ball generally has it near the 40-yard line to mid-field.  If they're going to go away from the onside kick, then they need to come up with another scenario for this.  Either way, just keep the onside kick.  It's pretty uncommon to see an injury happen during an onside kick.

    So, why then did the ref in the end zone back away when the returner tossed the ball to him?  This was a playoff game.  You should have the better refs in this game that know the rules.

    100% accurate.  If they knew the rules, that play would've went a very different way.  Instead of backing up, that ref should've just threw a flag immediately, for an illegal forward pass.  By him backing up, he sees it as a fumble, which demonstrates his lack of knowledge of the rule book.

    No common sense needs to be used MORE often.

     

    Some of the worst NFL decisons have by by "the Rule".  Look at the tuck rule, it is in the book, like at Calvin Johnson rule, that is also in the book,  the Dez Bryant non-catch,,,,,,,,some of the most absurd rulings of all time but hey, they followed the rules.

    I agree.  But that's the point, no one can argue with them on their decisions if they stick to the rule book.  We don't have to like or agree with their decisions.  Especially as fans, we always wants things to go our way, but refs can cover their own behinds if they make the right calls based on the rules.

  8. I don't like the notion of "common sense" prevailing.  There are rules for a reason.  If a ref doesn't know how or what to do in any given situation, refer to the black and white (rule book, not their stripes).  Just like here in the military, if we do exactly what instructions and publications say, then no one can tell us we're wrong.  They need to be consistent and the only way to do that is follow the rules.  It's that simple.  Now with that said, it should've been counted as an illegal forward lateral in the end zone, thus, awarding us a safety.

    Considering where this franchise has been over the last 20 years and where it is now headed they deserve 91-100.

     

    Of course they are not perfect but based on what we have endured they about as close to that 100 that this fan base will ever see.

     

    Agreed.  What we've endured over the last few decades and comparing what they've done compared to our other GM/Coaches of the past, it's hard not to put them over the 90 mark.
