It's fans like you who ran Peterman out of town. Kicking a man when he's down - so typical.
First they love building them up, then they love tearing them down.

The TD thing is something the fans are going to be thinking about more than the coaching staff.
If I was in charge of this meaningless game, I'd hand him the ball on all offensive plays inside the Fish 5 yard line, and hope he gets in on one of them.
He may well get a sack too.

He's currently at 48.5 according to NFL.com career stats.

I don't think he will be a candidate for a HC position, but come on folks!
This is the NFL; genuine coaching talent is rare, and the same little pool of names gets re-treaded around the league all the time.
These guys have more lives than cats.

That was also my takeaway after watching the film and the 60 minutes special. It doesn’t seem as though he is afraid of dying at all.
I don't know if he's afraid to die or not. Part of why he goes to such lengths to rehearse the free solos is because he does not want to die. Or at least so it seems.

Have not witnessed a Saturn V launch live, but I've crawled all over and checked out the Saturn V they have lying in a horizontal position, with stages separated, at Kennedy Space Center. It's incredible.
The F1 engines are freaking enormous and, I believe, the most powerful manmade engines of any kind ever produced.
They make the Space Shuttle look like an original 24 bhp VW Beetle.

Joe Rogan has done 2 podcasts now with one of the best free climbers in the world--Alex Honnold.
It is absolutely fascinating to listen to this guy.
Here's the more recent podcast.

Yes great QBs are worth the money. They give your team a chance to win and they fill the stands.
I'm not sure why you choose to list the five highest paid QBs when your question was about the greatest QBs. QBs are not paid based on their ranking vs their peers. They are paid based on potential to improve their team and current market conditions at the time they sign their contracts. Because the salary cap keeps going up and the league keeps making rules to favor QBs, the price for QBs will continue to rise and the QBs who have more recently signed contracts will, in general, be the highest paid for some period of time.
Not to mention Tom Brady very selflessly makes little money so the team isn't horrible around him and his would-be monster contract.
As you say, can't correlate QB pay rate to QB quality.

If DT is BPA, then sure.
Yeah, but it's hard to define "best player available" when you consider most teams, including the Bills, are terrible at assessing talent in the draft.
-
I think folks are overly focused on WRs on this team right now, mostly because we don't have any good ones!
But it's the QB that makes the receivers and not vice versa.
Allen is much more important--for now--to the equation than who our WRs are.
We do need to improve the WRs we have though.

Just a random thought, hope I am not violating the tos and I am sorry if I am but I am awfully curious about this topic. Obviously marijuana is banned by the NFL, but I've wondered for quite some time if football players smoke because it relieves symptoms of CTE. Do any of you think this is possible? It would be pretty tragic if the NFL banned a substance that could benefit their players mental health, especially with something as serious as CTE. I know weed helps treat a myriad of illnesses from bipolar disorder all the way down to arthritis and inflammation. Could marijuana benefit players and should the NFL take it off its banned substances list? It would be a shame if the NFL was taking away something that could be beneficial to its players. Do you guys think weed could actually help the NFL? Thoughts?
I think most players smoke it for cultural purposes and probably aren't aware of any benefits, though it probably does help with overall pain relief.
Could it be used to treat CTE symptoms? Probably!
Pot is going to be legal everywhere in this country soon enough.

Sorry to see him go but this day has been coming for a while.
I agree Lorax is a natural replacement for Kyle as a defensive leader if not team leader.

What do you guys get you’re spouse for Christmas? Mine gets what she wants, when she wants. It’s frustrating, to be honest. I got her some Coach gloves her mom got her every year before passing around the holidays last year. I also got her some crazy CocaCola metal sign to put in the garage (we live in Atlanta). She mentioned that was a cool thing for her months ago, so I ordered it in November, but scheduled to arrive Thursday. UGH!
I’d rather spend $$$ on experiences than things. Is that just me? There is no sweater or shirt we really need. My sister skipped birthdays and Christmas gifts one year, but it paid for most of a trip to Paris offseason at Christmas. Cool deal in my mind.
.
A lot of people I know, many of whom are women, prefer to spend $ on experiences as opposed to things.
I am a sucker for really high quality things that last forever, so I don't mind paying for those, but I am not a collector of junk I don't need which helps.

just because the best team falls apart doesn't mean SHEER EXCELLENCE pops up suddenly with the other teams
i can see a horrible division for a few years after Brady leaves, 6-10 could win it for 5 years
won't that be something to cheer your little hearts out over
Who's talking sheer excellence? I thought we were talking division leader once NE loses Tom Brady and maybe BB too.
I agree it could be soft division for years to come; like I said, no one looks ready to be a NO. 1 right now.
Well, other than NE.

Too early to declare NE dead.
None of the other teams in the division, Bills included, have proven that they are ready to assume the mantle of AFC East leader.
The end for NE is coming however, and coming soon.

Josh Allen is dramatically more skilled and so has dramatically more upside than Manuel.
I wanted to believe in Manuel and so rationalized he was going to get better and better... and that his almost on target passes were the kinds of balls that young quarterbacks threw.
But he rarely put the ball where it needed to be, forcing receivers to stop, change routes, or get mauled going for the ball. I was happy when Manuel was in the vicinity, thinking that meant he would eventually get it right.
But that was nonsense--Manuel did not have a good, accurate arm. He could not learn the needed skills, as he simply didn't have them.
But Josh Allen has a real NFL arm and likely elite NFL QB athleticism and leadership. He throws a great ball, on target, with receivers in motion, and can make any throw. His low percentage of completions is the result of many drops by receivers and of taking risks to make something happen (often because of the dismal running attack this year).
I could be rationalizing again, but really believe that the facts indicate that Josh Allen will be a great NFL quarterback--and soon.
I do not think Josh is dramatically more skilled than EJ.
Both have serious deficiencies to their talent pool.
I do think Josh is a dramatically better athlete. Josh Allen is really quite a naturally gifted athlete, but then again, so is Tim Tebow.
Just now, BarkleyForGOATBackupPT5P said:Ironically. The game that probably killed his career, Jags in London.. his second half performance was amazing to me. That throw to Robert Woods in particular. First half was definitely a case of the yips, and I always imagined the 2nd half was "I've screwed up so bad, this game / my near end to my career can't get any worse. I don't care anymore I'm just going to have to play the best possible performance I have" and EJ on a good day with no nerves was always the best version of EJ.
Ya just can't have that in quarterbacks. Almost everyday has to be a no nerves best version of yourself if you're quarterback. Toughest mental position in sports.
One thing I consistently notice in watching Aaron Rodgers during Packers games...just the way he walks around between plays, the look on his face, the body language...the dude appears to be totally calm and under control at all times.
Many guys are overwhelmed with all that they have to do to play QB in the NFL, and I understand it! But then you have Peyton Manning, Brady, Rodgers, Joe Montana, Jimbo, Dan Marino....they have an ability to play the position without having to push everything to the limit; they can play under control.
I think that is a key to success, along with lots of other things you have to be able to do!

Since Beth Mowins has been brought into this...
I just want to say that it is easy to dismiss criticism of her as being misogynistic or the "good old boy network" rejecting something new and different. I get all that.
And let me reiterate I cannot stand Beth Mowins! It has nothing to do with any of that.
It's that West Virginia white trash drawl she has; I just can't take it.
7 minutes ago, Call_Of_Ktulu said:I am putting so much money down on this game. I want the Bills to lose but I know they will win this game and miss out on the blue chip player. The Bills win these useless games all the time, I might as well make some money off it.
Your post makes a lot of sense on two levels.
First, yes, we always win these meaningless games which only serve to take drafted talent away from the team.
And second, yes, why the hell not financially benefit from this self-destructive habit!
I hope you win a lot.

NFL Europe has already headed down that road, and it was a dead end.
That was a dead end; but that isn't the real NFL in Europe; that was a European copy of the NFL.
And as to /DEV NUL/'s comment, European soccer is already way bigger in the USA than it was even 10 years ago.
My 15 and 18 year old nephews are so-so Bills fans (grew up and live in Buffalo) but gigantic English Premier League psycho fans; they follow that league like I followed the AFC East at their age.
Even if soccer remain a "niche" type thing in America, you have to realize America is so big, that "niche" following can't still be the size of a European country.
As far as I know, the USA World Cup remains the best attended World Cup on record.

Fantastic line delivery. Rapes 14 year olds.
The fact that these two things are weighed against each other as if we can so ill afford to lose an friggin actor that we'd, as a society, even remotely consider his return to prominence is a disgusting statement on our culture.
Show this guy the door for good.
Did he rape a 14 year old? Isn't the entire point of this video to say he did not and that people like you don't know the truth of the matter?
Even if it is determined that he committed some crime, he can still be a good actor. Those 2 things can exist in the same universe.

Espresso is strong in flavor, but weak in caffeine.
The extraction time is too fast for it to be powerful coffee from a caffeine perspective.
