The Colts claim that it will be an open battle between their 4th round draft choice Jacob Eason and Chad Kelly for #3 QB but I assume nobody believes that. Barring injuries Kelly has no chance to be on the Colts roster this year.
Probably best start looking for alternative careers.

Tammy started to push his vitamin supplement as with immunity booster days after COVID was declared a pandemic.
$45 for a bottle of vitamins.
Crazy. You would think that he had enough money to not try to take advantage of people during a crisis.
As the old saying goes -- no-one has ever gone broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.

You will probably get your chance. The obvious next step is some kind of franchise pyramid scheme.
I never realized Guerrero was so slimy. No wonder Bellichek wouldn`t allow him in camp.

Did they ever admit anything with the cheerleader scandal? Pressuring cheerleaders to escort sponsors and pose topless seems to me to be a higher level.

Dont most players adopt the Patriot way once they get there? It seems like they get talented but troubled players all the time and it almost always works out. Antonio Brown being the exception.
Plenty failed -- Albert Haynesworth, Josh Gordon just off the top of my head but I am sure there are plenty others.

Not at all. Lawson has improved each year. Particularly the last couple of years.
They likely just figured they could replace him cheaper.
I agree. There is no need to bash a guy just because he is not on the Bills anymore.
Shaq was pretty good the last half of 2018 and better than that in 2019.
Clearly the Bills wanted him back. Beane said so at the post season press conference. The Bills made a competitive offer to Shaq (versus Jordan Phillips who they did not make an offer to). They just didn't want him as much as the Dolphins.
Maybe they didn't match because they were thinking of Addison as an alternative during the Lawson negotiations but obviously we will never know.

Yep. The Eagles did too.
I really thought after the Philadelphia-Washington-Cleveland stretch where the Bill's run defense got gashed that the league had figured something out about the Bill's defense,
I was very impressed that they were able to make adjustments and essentially shut down the opponent run game the rest of the year.
I assume that at least some of the credit had to go to a more disciplined Edmunds (though probably most is due to Frazier and McDermott),

Just to further clarify what was said by PFF, it was a highly qualified comment about Hodges and Allen. It was something to the effect of Hodges having been graded higher than Allen in the couple games leading up to the Bills v Steelers game. The guy made a point of how difficult it was to find any positive thing to say in regard to the Steelers offense and Hodges versus the Bills.So your saying that the statement was taken out of context and blown all out of proportion.
I`m shocked, shocked, that there is taking out of context going on here

I think the lack of confidence in House to make long field goals has finally taken its toll on the orgamization
When they use a draft pick to get him....he def is not "Duke Williams"
Serious question. Why do people think the 71% fg last year is not relevant? Was he injured? Was there some other reason?

I am sure it was not a coincidence that she chose a meaningless game to do this rather than, say, the Ravens game. I assume she didn't want to affect the coaches.
No big deal although it would certainly be a issue if she does this all the time.
I noticed that there was an another article saying that the most important thing she looks for in a coach is authenticity. I assume that is a lesson learn from the Rex Ryan fiasco.
-
Sorry, I don`t get it. 71% on fg last year, longest career fg is 50 yards and everybody thinks he is a sure thing.
This year`s Duke Williams?

Mehta was pro-Gase when the Jets hired Gase but that changed pretty quickly.
Mehta is not a great judge of coaches -- he also criticized the Jets when they fired Rex Ryan.

I am not saying Mehta is not right -- just that the article is a rehash of general jets stuff that is not specific to Adams.
Mehta does seem to have something personal again Gase but Gase has done enough publicly (such as throwing players under the bus in press conferences and posting player fines in the training facilities plus all the stuff that former Dolphins said) that I believe that many players hate playing for him.

https://twitter.com/mmehtanydn/status/1275888335710453763?s=21Manish Mehta reporting that Jamal doesn’t want to play for Gase is not a surprise. The next step for Adams is for his camp to leak out negative commentary about everyone within the Jets organization.
Not that it is not true, but these are just random generalities from Mehta most of which is not even about Adams.
One can hardly trust what Mehta says about Gase.

Only under a concerted effort by fans. Everyone place ads on kijiji in cities that have an NFL or CFL team. 'Available for trade: one kicker'.
If Hauschka gets beaten out and Beane still gets something for him, I truly would believe that Beane is a wizard.
-
Coaches are conservative about kicking and no one knows how a kicker will do when the game is on the line until they are actually in that situation. My guess is if its anywhere close in training camp they will keep Hauschka. Possibly with the expanded roster they can keep both.

Masks are effective
Unfortunately masks are only effective if most people use them.
Masks don't really protect the wearer (maybe a little), it protects the people around the wearer. Wearing a mask is a minor inconvenience. To me wearing a mask in an indoor public place is a courtesy similar to turning your face when you sneeze.
When and how opening occurs should be a political issue. Masks should not have been a political issue. It should just be common sense.

This exactly, I will also add that the $300 million loss is temporary. Fracking is still the largest source of natural gas nationally at 67% and the primary function of his energy company. The losses will be related mostly to COVID and come this time next year profits will be back up where they have been or higher.
Like most of the very wealthy, their money is probably tied up in huge purchases of gold and silver which very rarely make huge jumps or slides in value. This is why and how the wealthy STAY wealthy.
Fracking has not been profitable for many years.

Both articles are from well before the COV-19 impact on oil prices.
The Pegulas were very smart (or lucky) to sell when they did.
The Sabres payroll was the fifth highest in the NHL. It makes sense that if things aren't working, you don't continue doing it.

The schedule issue has been brought up several times, but do remember all, the AFC East teams play pretty similar opponents. NE has rated the highest, and Jets and Fins strength of scheduled is above the Bills (it would be better to remove the division games, but even in that, they are still close to each other). So when deciding who wins the division, this element is a factor, but not a huge differentiator when compared to each other. And if that is the case, then go back to the quality of players. . . . But, I will concede, it could happen, but the logic (or, non-logic) used to predict is where the stupidity factor enters his equation.
Rank Team Opponents' 2019 win percentage 1 New England Patriots .537 (137-118-1) 2 New York Jets .533 (136-119-1) 3 Miami Dolphins .529 (135-120-1) 4 San Francisco 49ers .527 (134-120-2) T5 Buffalo Bills .525 (134-121-1) Excellent point there. The same applies to last season -- the Patriots, Jets, Dolphins and Bills had similar schedules (taking out the games played within the division) so an argument that the Bills had an easy schedule in 2019 also applies for all the other teams in the division.

The guy obviously does not do well at casinos. It's probability 101.

I would be curious how often someone actually changes a posted opinion based solely on message board arguments, i.e.,
1. Person A posts an opinion "e.g., A.J. McCarron is a good NFL qb"
2. Person B makes counter arguments.
3. Person A changes opinion based solely on the message board arguments (and not because AJ goes out and plays badly).
I am guessing this almost never happens. Most discussions quickly devolve into people repeating the same arguments in slightly different ways eventually degenerating into name calling.
Entertaining and harmless on a Bills fan board but it makes me very worried when it come to politics.

The idea that the Bills didn't want Shaq Lawson is revisionist history. In one of Beane`s first postseason press conferences he said that they were going to make a strong effort to resign Shaq but Jordan Phillips had earned the right to test the free agent market.
So most likely the Bills made an offer but did not feel he was worth what the Dolphins were offering. Of course it is also possible the Bills matched but he was mad about them not picking up the option the previous year, or because of warmer weather, lower taxes and/or closer to home.

I think the interviews they did with the fans were really cool. Having been on this board for years I couldn’t help but draw the parallel to the guy painting his beard before the game (match), or the guy getting that massive tattoo, or the parents giving their kids jerseys on Christmas morning. But what REALLY got me was the lady at the very end who asks with tears rolling down her cheeks ‘When will it ever be our turn?’ It doesn’t get more Buffalo Bills related than that. Classic!
I thoroughly enjoyed the first couple of episodes. Thanks for pointing this out.

Maybe I am being too cynical but most of his pay is in bonuses. I wouldn`t be super surprise if he gets something extra next year to make up for foregoing his salary this year.

I would think that McDermott`s designation of a game management coach in March (Marc Lubick) is essentially an admission that he wasn`t very good at it.
