    Dude made 28 million dollars playing football but is finally financially secure selling a 650k card?   Article is gas upped.   The guy could have retired well off years ago, the card had nothing to do with it.

     

    He likely bought the card for a good chunk as well.  Rare graded cards don't fall out of the air.  Whether he bought it graded, or took a chance and bought, likely multiple, boxes of the set it came in, he forked out money.

    The latter. He streams the opening of new and old packs of cards online.

    John, I try and forget everything from the drought, but remember the snow game with Moulds one handed catch and Ricky Ganga Williams ran for I think 230 yards, and we still won against the fish.

     

    we’re going to win tomorrow and Dorsey needs to keep his calm to keep Allen calm.

    I love those late Miami game when the crowd starts singing “let it snow”. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Chubb get his tomorrow.
     

    Side note; I’m glad I took 5/20 back east instead of 90 after that game.

    Seems to me the last time the Bills had rushing success was when FredEx was here and Shady,  I am guessing that the main issue is the RB's.  Not exactly like the Bills had some monster O-Line with Fred and Shady.  I was really hoping Kromer was going to make a big difference.  The Bills seem mildly obsessed with the athletic ability of their O-Line personnel.  Perhaps they just need some nasty road graders not pristine physical specimens who can run block worth a damn

    They weren’t world beaters, but rewinding a decade the interior Oline had highly drafted talent in Wood (1st), Levitre (2nd), Rinehart (3rd), etc. Say what you want about previous GMs, but they spent draft capital on interior Olinemen, and that translated to more success in the run game. They also took some risks on top talent with checkered history; some of which - Incognito- paid off.
     

    With regards to draft position and physical talent….

     

    2016 Offensive Line

     

    Cordy Glenn (2nd)

    Richie Incognito (3rd)

    Eric Wood (1st)

    John Miller (3rd)

    Cyrus Kouandijo (2nd)

     

    That line had issues, but it could physically dominate defensive lines in the run game, especially on the left side or with Incognito pulling.

    Wawrow hints an Internal Issues with the Bills

    It's remarkable how hiring coaches with good reputations can be twisted into a negative. If this was the Pats a few years back it would be twisted into something along the lines of "see that - they are so damn good everyone wants to coach there - why can't we be like that!". If folks don't like Dorsey that's fine, time will tell. Claiming we hired competent coaches cuz we didn't trust the Dorsey hire is a stretch.

    Yup. I imagine they’re grooming Brady as Dorsey’s eventual replacement while Shula is there for experience and “break glass in case of emergency”.

    To the point of the bold text, in this past offseason the Bills brought in:

    Mike Shula (former NFL OC and college HC (Alabama))

    Aaron Kromer (former interim NFL HC and NFL OC)

    Joe Brady (former NFL OC)

     

    That is a lot of cooks in the kitchen brought in to assist Dorsey in making the leap.

    Are those moves you make if you are 100% onboard with your new OC?

     

    just something to think about

    IDK, but those are definitely hires that I’d make in a league where OCs that perform well are rapidly poached for HC jobs. 

    Seriously, how complicated is our offense

    This isn't true. Quarters rules have the LB play the wheel of #3. Peterson would have been in the exact same spot regardless of what Singletary did.

    Respectfully disagree. You’re absolutely correct for the route concept we ran…. However, with a wheel route or motioned RB the LBer is only fully responsible for the first half of the route. Petersons responsibility would have been to break off and help over the top, especially if the LBer can’t carry the route. If Peterson makes the same assumption as he did and that LB isn’t fast enough the RB’s wheel route is open for an end zone shot. It’s why the CB is supposed to play that post on the outside hip of the WR instead of undercutting the route. Regardless, due to how Peterson played that route concept Allen should have either thrown to Singletary, thrown a high ball to Davis that would have gone out of bounds if missed, run it, or put it in the dirt. Peterson simply knew he didn’t have to worry about anyone threatening that zone unless the play turned into a scramble drill.
