  1. Plus this is the first year in a while that the Pegulas are not paying multiple head coaches so they probably had a little extra in the coaching budget.
  2. To me the change on culture and attitude coming out of OBD is real. The players seem to want to be there. You don`t get the leaks and whispers and other nonsense that you got under Rex and Marrone and there seems to be a plan in place that is being followed. That is an underrated and difficult accomplishment. For that he earned the extension. Whether the Bills take the next step will depend on whether Allen is really the man. That is still a question to be answered.
  3. Defiitely playoffs. This isn`t the NBA or NHL where more than half the teams make the playoffs though I could imagine changing my mind if the Bills lost in the first round 5 years in a row.
  4. This is a fan message board. If we are not allowed to question any thing Beane does because the fans don`t have the complete story it woukd be a pretty boring place.
  5. There must be 10 guys out of the 80 that they already know will not make the team.
  6. Which made it even more surprising they didn't keep him for a few more days to get a draft choice for him.
  7. I assume they test for anti-bodies also and that they won't report individual results. It would be interesting if they release overall percentages but I haven't seen these numbers for NBA or the various European leagues.
  8. This is a sad reminder of what a waste Rex was. Everybody on the Dline was in the top 100 Maronne's last year and Rex`s genius took turned them into mediocre at best.
  9. Was that in a tweet? If that's the case, the Bills had better extend him before he hits the open market since I don`t think the Bills will be willing him pay him 15% moee then other teams.
  10. Do state taxes really matter when you are making that much? Lebron chose to go to LA, Durant chose to go to the Warriors and then the Nets and Kyrie Irving chose to go to the Nets even those those states have the highest state taxes. It's primary getting the biggest number as an ego trip. You can`t get less than Kirk Cousins if you think you`re better.
  11. Another big difference is that the EPL only had six players (out ot 748) tested positive on the restart and 10 in the Bundesliga. The NBA on the other hand had about 5% tested positive,
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Plenty failed -- Albert Haynesworth, Josh Gordon just off the top of my head but I am sure there are plenty others.
  18. 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.
  19. 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),
  20. 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
  21. Serious question. Why do people think the 71% fg last year is not relevant? Was he injured? Was there some other reason?
  22. 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.
  23. 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?
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
