    You could make the same argument for the NBA with college basketball, but even the NBA has a minor league. Unfortunately the NBA is not the behemoth the NFL is. I just personally think an NFL minor league woukd be successful 

    Versions of this concept have been tried repeatedly nfl Europe, XFL, and others like it, all have failed. Primarily because there is an endless flow of new players coming out of colleges all over America, the NFL system is positioned in such a fashion to take full advantage of this free resource. 
     

     The NFL has no reason to spend large money on a junior league, sure some fans would like it, but there is no real monetary need for such a league, again the NCAA supplies a virtually endless stream of new talent annually, the league see the few quality players that slip through the cracks as one of two things, 1) risk worth taking, or 2) an opportunity for diligent franchises to score a sleeper player who is actually good. It’s a neat idea, but I don’t think it’s got any real traction, jmo.

     

    Baseball and hockey have a long history of regional clubs/teams, look at the Rochester Red Wings and the Rochester Americans,  those leagues are set up for those farm systems, the NBA was a bit of a late comer comparatively, in the NBAs case the college talent is by and large not as good coming out and the league needs to train players to get them up to par, and that is having marginal results from the little I have read. 
    so while a fine idea, there is no pressing need. Again jmo. 
     

    Go Bills!!!

    So what if he is a douche.  The guy is a great player.  Not everyone falls in line like little toy soldiers.  I have never heard his teammates bad mouth him.  If you had to catch passes from Eli Manning late in his career, you would probably be pretty cranky also.  And playing under Freddie Kitchens was probably like playing for that pee wee coach who had no idea how to coach and was half drunk at every game.  The Bills can use a little more edge and douchiness on their team.  Good old Richie Incognito provided some of that.  Jerry Hughes has some edge.  And some of that edge from Diggs will be good for the offense.  Let's not forget its football, not chess club.  

    Not expecting Bobby Fisher, but there is a difference between having an edge and being a douche nozzle. Although Bobby may very well have been said nozzle. We can only hope Diggs keeps his mouth shut and first and foremost performs as advertised. I expect you get my drift.

    He's played in 1 playoff game in 2016.  He's also a bit of a drama queen.  Remember the whole watch thing?  Just take off your watch! its a football game!

    and...
    I already acknowledged he has been a little B word. But ya can’t deny  Diggs has been the better receiver the last three years. So there is hope that he won’t become an irrelevant all pro douche that Beckham has been the last three years, frankly if OBJ doesn’t perform in Minnesota he will have become a has been, there is a lot on the line for OBJ, a little less for Diggs.

    You’re being a biased Bills fan. He was having temper tantrums during wins about not getting the ball Enough .  He’s not on OBJ’s level but a team with SB aspirations don’t trade 26 year old good players for no reason.  He was a problem there.

     

    Just now, C.Biscuit97 said:

    I mean Diggs did this to a less extent, no?

    Yes he did, but,  Again if this trade goes thru, 3rd team in three years, it would then appear nobody likes having OBJ on their team, it’s an omen...  Beckham is an all pro douche, Diggs hasn’t yet competed on a that level. Not that Diggs might not aspire to such heights... we all hope not of course... ? 

     

    Go Bills!!!

    Didn't really matter when he was in the AFC.

    there’s that... and he doesn’t seem interested in making the team he’s on better, only wants to be on a team that can in effect carry him to his own personal desires, in other words he’s a douche of the highest order. If it happens,   Third team in what, three years... Not a team first sort of fellow.

    Also, NFL owners are literally meeting with Trump this week to discuss bringing sports back. There's no way they're ready to announce the cancellation of the season before the meeting even occurs.

    That’s a point for sure, but the states governors will have the last day on that, States have that authority over the Federal government under states rights, all states  have that authority concerning citizens health and safety.

    If you think there won't be sports, then you have to accept that there won't be school as well. What is the difference between thousands of students packing into schools every day and thousands of fans packing a stadium once a week? 

    There is a chance this can happen, sad as that is, we can only play the cards life deals...

    I double checked and the video is missing the Knox's TD at Miami, which is odd.

     

    If Allen can correct and fine tune some of his shortcomings, we will have a QB for a long time, I believe this kid will overcome them.

     

    Even with his shortcomings, he is a lot of fun to watch.

    This ^^^ 

     

    also if the drops get under some semblance of control/ reduced by a third or more things will be looking up for certain, ?

    Yes, it absolutely is easier to control 300 people than 70,000. They don’t have to follow any rules if they don’t want to, that is their right. They can run around town every night of the week. The only time they will be isolated is the day before game day after they get their rapid test. They aren’t living in isolation for the entire season. 

     Not following the “rules” is why our country has more deaths from C-19 than any other country.  Nuthin but luv for ya...  

     

    Stay healthy, stay smart Bills Nation!!!

    I agree.  By September, there will be significant confidence in the treatments for people who contract the virus.  It is also becoming more evident that specific pre-existing conditions create the most severe threat to people that contract the virus.  Hopefully by then, people with those conditions will be informed enough to avoid situations that could harm them.  Lastly, there is too much money and fan driven desire for there not to be a football season.  How would you like to be a politician that prevents fans from having an NFL season?

    I would hope any elected officials would not give a rats ass about that. 
    Although I can just see some whining putz thinking that is an important thing to base their vote on.

  11. I too have already accepted that there will be no season this year. ( sure hope I’m wrong) How this goes over with “rabid fans” is truly unimportant. 
    What is important is not continuously spreading the virus. It is time for folk to find their big boy and big girl pants and put them on, buck up and do the right thing, and hopefully we can keep the willfully ignorant folk in check. 

     

    Stay healthy Bills Nation!!!

  12. When one watches Josh fire passes with great accuracy into tight windows throughout the season, how does any fan not feel real F ing good about the upcoming season? 

     

    It’s 8:17 am, the never Josh onslaught has yet to begin, the gang of six hasn’t had their coffee yet, ??

     

    Go Bills!!!

    Actually it’s more like 12.5k because he can write it off on his taxes.  Yes, it’s great that everyone is donating (any amount) but it is a very small amount relative to his 5M+ salary

    Wow, just wow, doubling down on being a douche. You embarrass yourself every time you post, now go for the trifecta, you can do it!
