    We will see.... I be there first to let you know if you were right. See you next Sunday.

    Not harassing .. I think it was an interesting take .. but  per Buffalo News he and Dean Marlowe will be back on the team tomorrow.

  2. Maybe I am reading too much into this, but better buffalo bills.com mentioned4 transactions yesterday including activating Sweeney. Now the only mention the IR and 2 cuts. I thought it was odd they would elevate him from PUP the day before cutdown as it means they would have to cut another person. If they wait till after cutdown they can slide Feliciano to no season ending IR and bring back Sweeney with one less cut

    I don't think retaining Beasley for 2020 prevents the Bills winning in years to come.

    No but having the cash rolled over (in a year that is expected to be tight) and an extra draft pick that will also be lower priced could help.

    You love the Allen-Brown connection, but Beasley was Allen's security blanket.

    There's zero chance he gets traded...this team doesn't need cap space and draft picks.

    (And with the lack of talent and depth at TE, you don't trade Kroft either.)

    All teams need cap space and draft picks if they want to stay on top longer-term

    So I hear your idea.... what I don't hear is your rationale?

    The rationale is we are only going to throw the ball x times .. and Diggs will get the most, and Brown and Knox will absorb a lot .. but we need to get time on the field for others (say Gabe Davis). I don't want to win this year. I want to win this year and next year and the year after. You do that by managing your payroll and constantly bringing in new players who can push the veterans at a cheaper price.

  5. We have a perceived excess of good WRs and TEs ...instead of cutting or trading for nothing a younger WR .. why not trade Cole Beasley (same question could be asked about John Brown .. but I love the Josh - Smoke connection)? It would give us a better draft pick at least in theory and more cap room definitely. I would also love to see them unload Tyler Kroft. I am certain the board would have no issue with Kroft leaving, but what about Cole? Note: No disrespect to Cole .. I appreciate what he brings, but looking at it from a trade value / cost / productivity perspective I think we would be better making this type of move.

  6. This was fun .. Matt Parrino desperately trying to not give anything away .. then at 20:00 minutes he talks about Ty and Cody making great blocks on a Singletary run .. he also mentioned whether they platoon Daryl Williams and Ty .... things that make you go hmmmmm

     

  7. They have them at number 9 and there was good discussion on the offense and how they should be looking to open up the offense .. and how they should protect JA from himself (i.e., not running as much .. avoid taking on LBers, etc.). Chris Simms also mentioned best case is Super Bowl, worst case Josh Allen gets hurt and just miss the playoffs.

    I missed that part where the OP said the "world is wrong." I wasn't sure that the whole world was in agreement on covid19. Is it really? Please fill me in, I feel so left out!

    I think he was referring to the basketball player and noted virologist World B. Free. he was just saying Mr. Free was wrong .. not the whole world .. that would just be silly :0.

    There is one kernel of truth in this soon-to-be-closed thread: some teams having fans in the stands while others don’t IS a competitive advantage for those teams. It IS unfair.

     

    Theres no easy answer on how to remedy this issue, but it IS an issue.

    Not certain there is a remedy but there are plenty of competitive disadvantages that teams have to deal with. The goal is the fairest possible competitive situation .. not actual equality. Examples ... some teams play in nice weather, some play in low tax  states, some have apathetic fan bases, some play in outdated stadiums, some play in stadiums that hold the noise in, some have unique wind patterns that give the home team web and kickers an advantage ... it won’t be “fair” but having some fans is better than having no fans if safely possible.
