Pandering at its finest. Classic Goodell. Remember how players were getting fined for wearing different colored sweat bands for various Cancer causes? Now we get the rainbow ribbon instead of just pink. The players should be allowed to voice their displeasure with whatever they choose, however they choose. Especially when they are raising money for a cause. This is the kind of thing that draws even greater divisions between people. The National Anthem should unify us, and serve as a reminder of all the things that make this country a true blessing. But that’s not possible, not for Roger.

Like most health officials over the past few months, his predictions were based on flawed modeling, and politicized science. Fauci has no authority to postpone anything. He merely offers advice and counsel to the people that direct public health policy. All of them have been wrong from the beginning. Comparing him to “people who want to open everything up” is just a way to divide people from the facts of what we have faced as a nation since March. He’s been right and he’s been wrong, and he’s changed his opinions as frequently as everyone else. His job is to take the science and give advice to those with less knowledge. If he thinks it’s a bad idea to open up football, that’s his opinion, and he can offer it to whoever asks for it. Right or wrong.

My earliest memories of watching Bills games are of my father screaming “stroke out Shula” at the TV. I learned early on in life to hate the Dolphins, Dan Marino, and the entire Dolphins Organization. What i didn’t know then, that i know now, is that greatness is often obscured by jealousy. Coach Shula set a standard that many greats since then have emulated. God speed Coach, May you rest in Power. Go Bills.

That was 2 years ago, before he busted his hip and had 2 spiral surgeries on his ankles. What i said is not wrong. He was a top prospect, and the Dolphins and their front office are betting on him being healthy, staying healthy, and learning how to pick up a blitz in the NFL. Personally, i don’t see that happening.

Sam Darnold was a better prospect. That’s what you said “Best prospect in 20 years”. Tu’a isn’t even the best prospect in 5 years. I’ll even say that coming out of college, Jimmy Garapalo was thought of better as a pure passer than Tu’a, but I recognize that might be a stretch. Anyone with an injury history like him, with size like him, and is left handed, is going to have a lot of strikes against him to start his pro career.

That’s a wildly inaccurate statement.

Very happy to see Tu’a to the Dolphins. 4 years of mediocre QB play! Go Bills!!

If there are no fans, then let’s hope that there is a sufficient work around of the Direct TV exclusivity deal, and that fans can stream games, with a portion of that new revenue going to the owners.

I went with Milano. I’m a Defense first guy, and the franchise has had poor LB’s for years before McBeane arrived. Milano is a good player, who can be had for a reasonable price. He’s made tremendous strides over the past 2 seasons, and does a very good job in coverage. Dawkins is a good LT, but he’s not worth what he will be looking to be paid. He has lapses of judgement that are head scratchers, and can disappear from the run game. In real, life i hope they can sign them both, as i don’t want holes to be filled anymore. I’d like some consistency that isn’t ruled by money.

How much of that was the coaching? Marrone and Hackett were awful. Specifically Hackett. That scheme was predictable and did nothing to help any QB. We had to watch a basically retired Kyle Orton run whatever he could put together on the field. There was no preparation, no game plan, and zero in game adjustments. When the coach says “don’t make mistakes, or you’ll ride the pine” but gives him nothing to work with, it’s not really on the kid. EJ was raw and did himself no favors in the long run. Like I said, I’ve always wondered what would’ve happened if he had been coached by Gailey. Quick short passing concepts could have helped him gain confidence and open up the middle of the field that he was terrified to throw too. Anyway... that’s old history and EJ is out of the league by now.

I always wondered what EJ Manuel could have been if they would have stuck it out with Gailey. I feel like he could have made him into a very competitive QB. Aaron Maybin will always stick out like a sore thumb to me. He was clearly the wrong pick. Eric Wood calling him out in TC is the moment when I feel like everyone knew what was going to happen. Those were some rough years.

I mean.... he seems really excited.

Rest in Power. Sorry for your loss. Go Bills!

He stood out several times by being able to push his blocker off the line and set the edge. He didn’t seem to show much as a pass rusher, but he seems to have some ability that could be developed. Im not willing to bet the farm on his success, but he seems to have a place in the rotation.

JA can’t do anything about the bad and predictable play calling. That alone would have won the WC game and we all know that. Adding Diggs is a HUGE upgrade over whatever player du jour was on the outside each week. It will also hold guys like Beasley accountable when he doesn’t fight for catchable balls. Execution on 3rd down is a HUGE need. I’d like to see him play with more urgency in those situations, doing whatever needs to be done to keep the offense on the field. That’s something that we all saw guys like Mahomes and Russell Wilson do time and time again all season, and both of them were late season MVP candidates. I would love to see JA take that leap and move into that tier of player. He’s shown he can do it late in the game. If he can do that on 3rd and long in the 2nd qtr, he won’t have to play out of his mind in the 4th.

Im not sure Cam has the accuracy and ability to work the option routes the way that Brady did. That offense is centered around option combinations called at the line. I’m not sure that either Newton or Dalton play that kind of game.

B+ Im never a fan of trading away 1st round picks. I do like Diggs a great deal though. He’s what this offense needs. Hopefully he waits a year before he continues his quibbling for a new deal; and hopefully it’s based off of a career year. My biggest concern is him complaining to Allen or worse, the media, about balls coming his way. That’s what did him in in Minny and I’d hate for their to be any issues in the locker room. All that being said, he’s a great talent, he plays hard every snap, and he fights for every ball. That’s the kind of thing that will endear him to fans and teammates. Go Bills!

The same Ereck Flowers who got benched twice in 2 different positions while on one of the worst offensive lines in the history of the game? Im all for guys getting paid, but this is out of hand.

Correct. He’s not that dumb. It’s click bait journalism at its finest. He writes this, tweets it out, and because it’s so bad, people talk about and circulate the article. The key in all this is that McBeane are not this dumb.

I think he played in a conservative offense for years under Gilbride, which kept his stats low. He is a proven winner and leader. Top 10, he would be close, but certainly not too 5.

He’s one of the best of his era. He has two all time great throws IN a super bowl, including the one that iced the perfect season. He deserves it based on the Tyree play alone.

Unless he grows to master the scheme. Ultimately as a coach, that’s the goal. You want the athlete to master your scheme so that you can think and act as one in game. A good coach knows how to tweak the scheme to make it more accessible. Taking out the option routes, defeats the purpose of this offense, which is disguise. If Daboll stays, my hope is that he learns from his play calling mistakes, and works to provide constant rhythm for Allen. He clearly does better in the passing game when he gets in a rhythm. I know that’s obvious, but many times this season, it didn’t appear that it was to Daboll. This offense could be so deadly with better WR’s, and consistent play calling. It honestly is wonderful to be only complaining about that in the offseason.

I wonder if Beane feel like Daryl Johnson has come along enough the take Lawson’s roll in the rotation. That would certainly free up at least a roster spot for an edge rusher in the draft.

You’re kind of right, but proper technique can overcome his physical limitations. The idea is to chip the rusher, and by an extra second. The RB in situations like that isn’t being asked to contain the rusher and create a lane. They’re the last line of defense before you get over run. Like most rookie RB’s, pass protection is the biggest area to improve from season 1, to 2. I feel he will develop just fine in the offseason, and not be a liability on passing downs come next season.

Id like this move more than Green. I think he fits the scheme a bit better with his ability to move in the middle of the field.
