Ethan in Cleveland

Would be a nice development. I would have brought back Hughes. Basham needs the live reps but playing Lawson playing a bunch today means he might not make the final 53. Probably depends if one of the DTs can play DE in a pinch.

Would be less than 25 pages if the Bills did the right thing and cut him weeks ago.

Yes. That's how it works. If they cut him today the news cycles ends by Monday. If not this drags on all year.

He's an punter. Cut him and move on. He's not a star player or even an important one. Treat him as such. Cut him and go find someone else. I don’t care if he is innocent or not. Let someone else take a chance on him. The Bills sole purpose is to win a Championship and who the punter is won't make a difference.

Agreed. Cut this guy now and get back to focusing on winning the SuperBowl. Who the punter is has zero impact on the season.

I've read all 63 pages and at least four news articles covering the topic. I'm sufficiently satisfied this guy is scum. At a minimum he took advantage of a drunk girl unable to consent, and at its worst he led her into a room to be repeatedly assaulted. I want no part of him on the team. I dont care or need to care about due process. That's his problem not the Bills'. Cutting him has nothing to do with legal innocence. He's a punter and one of multiple guys that can be replaced with a street free agent or trade. He is not worth one minute of negative press. If McDermott believes what he preaches then he should have cut him a month ago.

And what if Araiza led her into that bedroom to be assaulted as is stated in the lawsuit?

Agree with others 1. Extend Poyer 2. Sign Knox 3. Tag Oliver next year 4. If Edmunds plays well, cut Milano and sign Edmunds to a long term deal 5. If Edmunds doesn't play better and wants a top 5 deal, then let him walk and draft his replacement

I'm sure there may be. At this point it would be better to sign a veteran after week 1 so the salary is not guaranteed for the whole year. I believe it still works that way.

Levy is overrated and should not be in the HOF. That said, the defense simply wasn't good enough. The NFC was simply a better conference. No AFC team could compete with the size and speed of the best NFC teams. Bills were built to beat Marino and Elway. Nn retrospect they had no chance going up against the o-lines of the NFC East. Wade had a true NT in Pat Williams and was a genius running the 3-4.

Agree. They should have signed Haden weeks ago and put White on PUP.

Putting him on the PUP means he doesn't count against the 53. If they don't and he can't play it's one less healthy player for game day. I'd be shocked if he plays by week 8. Let him heal for another two months. He is needed in Dec, Jan, and Feb not Sept or Oct.

I guess turning a lemon into lemonade is amazing. But when you purchased the lemon at the expense of other players it is not so amazing. Its why I advocate trading down and getting more picks. We want to believe Beane is smarter than most, but it is still mostly a crap shoot. It's pretty damning to think they had Teller, traded him away, then drafted a bust to play RT, moved him to fail at G, and spent a fortune on a decent RT only to move him to G and then cut a year later. Ugly. Doesn't matter much. He got Allen and that is 80% of the job.

Gross I'm a ticket snob. I get club level seats and try to avoid interaction with most of humanity. Then retreat into the solitude of my workshop.

Cleveland at CWRU from 88-92, Columbus at Ohio State for medical school, residency and fellowship from 92-02. Thanks. I have no regrets moving to PNW. Raised my kids here. All the positives you mentioned are correct and I would add proximity to San Francisco/Napa, Hawaii, and Vegas. Wouldn't change anything.

It's the same rules for everyone. So no I don't worry about it, but I do think it is dumb. Let everyone dress. Even the backup OL, DL, or RB could get some real reps in a blowout game. Those real reps may be enough to get a guy recognized.

Mayfield played injured all last year. In Buffalo he would have been called a true football player that played with toughness. In Cleveland they shipped him out for a serial sex offender. I think he is better than game manager but he is not a top 10 guy, probably somewhere around 15. Average enough that Cleveland with that roster would have pushed for a division title this year. Mayfield almost beat KC in the playoffs two years ago. The problem is the rest of Carolina's roster is not that good

It doesn't make a lot of sense but then again it rarely matters that much. The inactive guys are usually an OL or DL that doesn't play special teams, a RB that won't see any carries, and a guy or two who is hurt and would not play anyways.

I dont think they can designate someone as protected right away. Once they cut him I think he is free to sign on any PS or be claimed to a roster.

Thanks. I lived there from 88-92. Love the West Side market. Severance Hall is world class music, but I never did the outdoor event. Thanks for the idea! Museum of Art is much better than anything Portland has. My recruitment dinner was in Little Italy. There are a few good Italian options in Portland but nothing like Little Italy! I love you too!

Thanks. I lived there from 88-92 at CWRU. Somewhat of a homecoming for me. I will message you. Maybe we can meet up Lol. Unless they are playing the Bills pretty unlikely.

Portland downtown is a warzone now. Truly awful. The east side of Portland is even worse with tent cities in neighborhoods.

Agree on the time. 10am games are so sweet.

If I do you get royalties

That's the plan. I've done in one other time but as a vacation road trip.
