Overthecap suggests there is an out in Hines’ contract - indeed he looks like the most obvious cut with a $5m cap saving.

except the striped one

Yeah hard to pass rush when the RT is behind you trying to pull your arm out of its socket.

Yeah they can get out of it no probs… only $125m guaranteed so just need to adsorb a $100m dead money hit over the next two years or something like that.

He is throwing interceptions on 4% of his attempts this season. That’s nearly halfway to being Peterman.

I think you’re on to something here. Doesn’t take a genius to imagine the cost savings that can be had here by firing the medical staff and replacing them with average recovery times per Google, not to mention the added convenience of knowing weeks in advance exactly when your players will be available again. I don’t want you to get too excited but I reckon you can bank on a Nobel peace prize.

because he’s going to be the starting QB.

He seemed genuinely confused when asked what approach they were going to overcome a 17 point deficit, as if he suddenly realised he was responsible for working this out. I did enjoy his preferred approach of just pretending the score was 0-0 and hoping for the best.

Hate to tell you but we lost time of possession.

As I’m sure you know, nothing works like this because if the OPI flag wasn’t thrown then every single play that happened after it would have been completely different as every decision made by everyone that mattered would have been made on the basis of a different risk profile.

Exactly. I am sure they will be still be singing about this famous victory in Green Bay in 1,000 years.

Sure sure we won the ‘game’ but who’s going to remember that at the end of the season when they’re handing out prizes for time of possession statistics?

Literally no one thinks the plan all along was to allow the packers to run the ball for 200+ yards, the point is that there was no need to change our defensive scheme to try to force the opposition to stop beating themselves.

Issues like only winning by 2 scores? I’ll take those issues. Sign me up.

He seems about as mentally stable as some of our fans. imagine if we weren’t the best though, imagine if we were the worst, wouldn’t that be something?

Pretty sure GB would not have signed up in advance to losing 27-17 on the basis that if things had gone differently they might have won, but perhaps do a survey of their players and coaching staff to find out if you’re not sure. If you don’t like winning it’s not compulsory to support the Bills. The Texans are available.

yeah too right. I’d be crying in bed sobbing for the mrs to bring me a hot water bottle and morphine. Imagine having to stand there with rhinoceros like nfl d-linemen charging at you. Grit, eh.

Man, I hate those gimmicky TDs. One is bad enough but several... Can’t stand it. Vanilla TDs are worth 7 gimmicky TDs. And don’t get me started on all those flukes.

Why would they need to do this? The allegations have been set out in detail in the civil suit. The team wasn’t conducting a criminal investigation, that is for the police to do. The was conducting due diligence on an employee. I imagine they were essentially assessing whether his account of the incident amounted to sufficient reason to cut him regardless of what he is alleged to have done.

The lawyer is so bad; virtually a parody account.

Don’t call me Shirley.

I doubt the Lions, or anyone else for that matter, want to pick up his current contract.

I never bug Bills players when they are out in public as I live in Australia. Just an observation on this though - if you’re a sports star you’re gonna get interviewed by lots of journalists and you’re going to have to provide answers to their mundane and repetitive questions - but it’s best not to say “the worst thing is having to answer inane and repetitive questions from unimaginative sports journalists”. The loss of privacy thing is a good generic answer to give to a standard off the shelf interview question, probably a stock answer from a handling the media training course - it doesn’t necessarily mean the person who says it is actually bothered about it in a material way.

Just don’t understand the logic of giving up draft capital of any sort for Flacco - let alone possibly giving up a 5th. Surely better to just let their backups play and lose. At best Flacco might narrow the margin of inevitable defeat in a couple of games by 3 points or something.

Isn’t the entire point of pro-sports to laugh in the faces of other teams’ fans when you’re winning and they’re losing? Ok not the entire point as there is also the eating and the drinking.
