They knew about both before signing. In Hoecht’s case, he was notified earlier and it was disclosed and discussed with the Bills up front. In the other case, he found out prior to signing, disclosed it to the team, and the contract was renegotiated before signing. Agreed we do not know how either will perform and how big a deal this will ultimately be, but nobody was blindsided or lied to here.

Yeah, he does not have a “Dad bod”. He is out of shape for a world class athlete which is what he is supposed to be. He was out of shape last year and it showed in his play.

Given his utter failure to find competent leadership for the Sabres, I would think Terry would be very reluctant to mess with success when it comes to the Bills. Both Beane and McDermott have a very long leash. Bills fans should be very reluctant as well. Change often goes badly in professional sports and this owner has experienced more failure than success.

Maybe so - some here sure think so - but he is decidedly not on the hot seat with ownership and that is all that matters.

Even harder to respect a guy who wears pedal pushers. He is a terrible head coach but I do not think he has much more potential as an OC. His offense is routinely beaten by good defenses. He does not adjust well in my opinion and his scheme is all flash and little substance. Overrated.

Just to be safe, make sure you wash up thoroughly after leaving this thread.

TE University is mostly a party it seems to me. Knox and Kincaid were there last year so if they thought it had real value they would probably be back.

I am sure the other owners would love to kick the Browns owner to the curb at this point. He is mis-managing an important franchise and screwing his partners in the process.

I am beginning to think that the only thing between the Sabres relocating and not right now is the disparity in the fee the NHL collects for a new franchise vs a relocation. Currently $2 Billion via $200 Million. I would not be at all surprised that Terry is looking for an exit ramp from the Sabres nightmare, but easier said than done.

I would be throwing up right now if I were a Steeler’s fan.

You will find many like minded people here: https://www.baltimorebeatdown.com Even when he was playing the last couple of years he was not the same player as his reputation. This is a big nothing burger.

Be careful everyone, the sky might actually be falling.

Anyone who thinks there is any reasonable comparison in ability or effectiveness between Allen and Tua is either a complete idiot or a totally deranged Dolphins fan.

I am pretty sure he was stupid and sociopathic before the concussions.

The Steelers are even a less talented team than the Jets were on offense. Poor OL, one decent receiver, no RB, mediocre TE, and oh by the way, a seriously over the hill QB who cannot even spell team. This will not end well, not that I care.

The app is not working for me this morning either. Just stopped suddenly 30 minutes or so ago. The app sucks worse than the content.

It’s a shame that some people seem to be missing what is and should continue to be a historic run. We all want to see this team cement its legacy with a championship. That may or may not happen, but I am enjoying the hell out of this ride.

It would not shock me if White ends up being a late cut and is the signed to the practice squad. There is value in that for the Bills, and the investment is sunk cost anyway.

It was clearly an intention of the Bills this year to upgrade their strength and conditioning program. It is almost as if they noticed we got pushed around at times last year.

They also know when the tests are going to be if they have not previously tested positive and what the banned substances are. It can be managed so as not to get suspended which is what they do. Sometimes, they get something they were not expecting which leads to a positive result.

True, except he is not looking so little. Looking pretty chubby actually. I guess he likes to hit up the buffet with Cardi when he is not banging skanks and snorting illicit powders.

I think we all understand that Bosa has an injury history, but thanks for pointing it out anyway. The point I was making is that this is meaningless to his ability to be ready and meaningless as far as anything concerning the regular season. If there is an injury at all it is likely equivalent to a scratch, like Smith’s every year pre season injury. It’s an excuse for his non participation, which is not needed anyway at this time.

This is such a non story. For a point of reference, after his first few years, Bruce Smith literally never had an off season/training camp where he did not have an “injury” excusing his non participation. Joey Bosa does not need the physical reps. I would actually be questioning the sanity of the Bills coaches if they did not put Bosa firmly on the sideline until such time as his participation would actually be productive, which is certainly not before training camp.

I agree with your take on the storylines, but I think the Cook situation could also be on the table. While interesting, blowing it up in public would be bad. Hope I am just being paranoid.
