Mental health (addiction included), was and should be at the forefront of social initiatives. Unfortunately it's another casualty of the Corona virus. The ramifications of this thing will far outweigh the death toll of the virus IMO.
That is just not true. COVID has killed over 80k in a couple months here, you just won't see that with suicide.
There is also a lot of kids that were in school that were getting bullied getting a relief now. There are gives and takes with everything.

Humility should come with this pandemic and the NFL better act accordingly. Sports can be gone tomorrow and there is no need for these expensive stadiums. It's a stadium, not a hospital.
The good thing that could come out of this for the Bills is that if they are giving 900 million to LA to pay back in 30 years, you have to offer that to the Bills. I'm not sure of the interest rate, but if they are using prime, its essentially zero % interest right now. You could probably build a sufficient enough stadium in Buffalo for 1 billion. Paying back 30 million a year is very doable.

Does anyone think the Bills will carry 3 QB’s this year?
I just don't see how the numbers would work.
I'm interested if they will expand roster this year due to not having a rookie minicamp. You should be allowed to have rookies on roster that don't count towards the 53 man roster.

Wouldn't surprise me to see a training camp injury that turns into IR for Hodgins. He needs a red shirt year.

In a word? The Fed policies that have been propping it up more than anything. Caught this article today:
Really good article. This is the most important part people are not realizing hasn't hit yet:
Quote“If we haven’t hit the bottom yet, things will get very, very bad, because then you’ll see a lot of cascading effects where a hedge fund will blow up, which means the pension fund that is invested in the hedge fund now has to take that loss, which means they have to de-risk, so they have to move out of equities,” the Goldman associate said. “There’s a very real possibility that people could get washed out, not just retail investors, but everybody.”
Pension funds within struggling companies can swing the marker immensely. Lot's of these companies who file for bankruptcy will be to get out of pensions.

The 50% number is absurd. Ratings will be huge. Look at the draft. Schefter is revealing himself to be a gigantic tool.
Ratings mean nothing when no companies have money to advertise.
Dave Portnoy on barstool radio when COVID first hit, was talking that advertisers were already pulling all their funding at that time. It has to be way worse now.
The companies that are thriving, don't need advertising because they are essential. The companies that are struggling don't have the money to throw at advertising.

Roberts was an all pro returner - while not having a TD return does not make him a bad returner. There is value to sure hands and a good return average.
That said, if a rookie can deliver the same then bye to Roberts. The tie goes to a rookie who can return and be the 6th WR.
My biggest grip about the entire draft, this team didn't get faster.
I wanted them to draft a better version of McKenzie. Someone that can stretch the field, run some Jet sweeps, and be the returner. Like a Hardman from KC.
Roberts taking up a spot on this team kind of irritates me, not because he isn't decent at what he does, it's just so little in today's NFL.

The NHL model always made way more sense to me. The salary cap and players yearly salary is not what the actual real dollars are because of escrow. They split the revenue and that is how much the players have to split up to get paid. Usually they make around 85% to 90% of what their contract says in a year, this year there is talk of 50%.
It allows for an equal distribution of lost revenue from what was projected.

I don't think Hodgens makes it. He has very slow feet. It will be very easy to NFL DBs to defend him.
I also am not sure if Fromm makes it. He is not better than Barkley right now and this team needs depth at other positions right now. Don't see us carrying 3 QBs.
Dane Jackson is interesting to me. I think he might make it. He is a very physical player which this team loves. I'm not a huge fan of Taron Johnson and want more competition at nickel CB. I hope Jackson can provide that.

And fumbled when given the chance a couple times.
Trey Adams is making this Roster. Played 17 games in a row after ACL and Back injuries. He wasn't 100%. 6'8" 330lbs 1st round pedigree. Maybe he is inactive but he will be on the 53 man Roster.
Haven't been impressed with Trey Adams from the videos out there (Plenty of vids on youtube on the Washington O line). The guy is overpowered a lot and kind of clumsy.
We shall see, but I don't see him beating out Bates.

The ACC is weak yes but Clemson is not weak and has as much talent as anyone. You posted Clemson isn’t the SEC which it isn’t but they are as talented as any team in the country and would still be a great team no matter what conference they played in.
Peterman sucks no doubt but don’t make it seem like Fromm flat out beat Eason or Fields for the job head to head because that wasn’t the case.
I actually think that was exactly the case. They all three were on the same team and Fromm was the starter. That to me is beating the other guy.

You do realize that is the same year Clemson won the National Championship and beat Alabama who was ranked #1 and plays in the SEC. That was the same Clemson team who also beat the #2 playoff seed Ohio St before beating Alabama. So, I think it’s safe to say Clemson is on par with any SEC team the last few years and it pains me to even admit that as a UGA fan. Peterman and Pitt gave Clemson their only loss that year.
I will add Alabama’s only loss that year was to Clemson.
Ya, but it's a different animal playing in the SEC game after game. Guys like Eason and Fields had to leave the conference because they couldn't beat out Fromm, you really think Peterman would have?
The ACC just isn't very good anymore.

I wouldn’t say that. Peterman threw for over 300 yards and 5 TD’s in beating Eventual champion Clemson on the road in Late 2016. He had his moments in college.Clemson isn't SEC

What? So Ryan Talbot speculates in an article for the Syracuse newpaper ("Those comments make me think that Stenberg could have been in play for Buffalo"), his story get's picked up by PFT and suddenly they become CORRECT or a FACT? Making Kirby's Duvernay information INCORRECT?
Climb aboard. There's plently of room left on my 'ignore user' wagon...
Talbot is going off of comments from the GM, what is Kirby going off of? Certainly nothing is better than the GMs mouth.

I can confirm this one too. Dugger was the guy. They had even talked about trading up for him.
This was a weird year for the usually airtight Bills. The virtual draft had more info slipping out than usual. Additionally, they tried to trade up for Duvernay.
So you are incorrect about the Duvernay but everyone says just believe you on Duggar?

Kirby is not Beane. We all know that. But he isnt that far removed from him either. Leave it at that.
If that is the case, Beane would have put a stop to Kirby a long time ago. No GM will allow a rat to exist in the building.
If a guy is handing out confidential information, he will not be allowed near anything related to the situation.
That's just the truth in the matter. That is some detailed precise information that no one outside the front office should know about and it should not leave the building.

That's because you are new to the board and don't know Kirby.
LOL at the newbs.
That could be the case, but is Beane really posting on a message board as a dude named Kirby? I find that highly unlikely

They do similar things but who knows where the Bills had Chinn graded? The Bills loved Dugger. That doesn’t mean that they loved Chinn. The Bills probably loved Chase Young. That doesn’t mean that they automatically loved Bradlee Anae.
The Bills wanted Dugger. The Bills were prepared to move into the 40’s for Dugger. Dugger was drafted at 37. The Bills pivoted and took Epenesa. That happens to teams all of the time. Every single team, in every single draft has guys that they want, that they think they can get, that are gone by their next pick.
Anyone that talks with this much conviction you just can't believe.
This regime is as tight lipped as I have ever seen, I just don't see some random guy knowing all this information.

I was so relieved when NE took him. I just don't see the allure of him. I was expecting so much more dominance from a player playing with D2 athletes.

Hopefully the NFL eases their pressure on Bills to build a new stadium with the new economic landscape out there.
This pandemic sucks, but hopefully it puts things into perspective and humbles.

Peterman looked awesome in practice and preseason, but when the lights came on and he played defenses that had spent the week game planning against him he fizzled. Covered the area inside the 20s and made him throw to the outside part of the field. I think they're similar QBs, smart, great intangibles, but don't possess an NFL quality arm. They even were drafted in the same round only 4 picks apart from each other(167 vs 171). Time will tell, but hopefully we found a great backup for the next decade or so.
Fromm is way better than Peterman. Peterman in the SEC wouldn't even start.
Fromm processes information at a ridiculous rate. Peterman was literally throwing the ball into the CB or Safety hands.
Fromm reminds me of Ryan Fitzpatrick. He knows where to put the ball, but sometimes you are scratching your head with the accuracy on the throw.

This will be a long decline, with small upticks but a general downturn.
The true cost of this pandemic is nowhere near calculated yet. Most Q1 reports are not even out yet, and Q2 will probably end up being worse. The average American has completely changed their habits. Companies will have way less money to work with.
Not to mention, who knows what will happen with this election. I can't wait to see my future tax rates.

I'm on like game 10 of all his throws on youtube from this year.
Some thoughts:
His WR dropped some really catchable passes.
There were times when he was smarter than his WR and it resulted in an incomplete pass.
I don't see a huge arm strength issue.
The major problem I see is inaccuracy. Too many times he is missing badly (Not a problem from the WR or RB). Like way worse than I have seen from Allen over the last two years. He threw a lot of short stuff last year. If he threw passes like Allen does, his completion % would probably be below 50%. A lot of times his footwork is horrendous.
I think he can have potential to be good, but with a lot work. His ball placement is pretty good, it's just not there enough.
Will this team waste a roster spot on a 3rd string QB? He just is not better than Barkley this coming year.
