Wow that sounds so lame.
And the "expected to come" part is pretty funny. "uh, yeah, we think these people might show up"And the price of entry is $30!?

I'd argue Mack Hollins cleared the bar of "made an impact" but he was who we knew him to be and if he is your team's most impactful addition over an offseason that is not a good thing.
I agree. I'm surprised we didn't keep him.
We paid him $3M last year and NE gave him $4M/year.
Was the $1m/Year extra really too much?-

You forgot @BuffaloBill who does a great job in the game threads.

Here's my research:
Are you a different person because of the amount of money that you either have or don't have? I'm guessing not.
I see you have spent very little time around rich kids.
they are ABSOLUTELY different
But aside from that, what makes you think Pegula is some humble great guy? What ever gave you that impression? -

It has been a topic for three straight years after they win. He just sends in a short statement. Bandits threads generally devolve into laughing that they are happy not to have him him around because he struggles with the Sabres. The comments are littered with stuff like "Keep the bad juju away, we are doing fine without him".
I am not sure what proof you are looking for? Like a picture of him holding the days paper at his house in Florida, with that days 10pm news on in the background?
It is surprising to me how many people feel the need to defend billionaire owners.-

He does dominate the local media in a way that pretty much every other NFL market does not. The Bills, and maybe not even just Beane, did a very concerted effort to cull negative reporting and internal leaks.
This is a topic most fans aren't ready to discuss, but you are 100% right.
The Bills ownership of local media is unlike any other NFL franchise. It simply does not exist elsewhere.
They literally call the shots on what gets published and what doesn't.
You can even see how nervous Schopp and Bulldog got when Sam Monson said it. They immediately switched topic.-

Of all the things people tell me to discount PFF for, this is the one that worries me the most.
The fact that PFF is changing grades to appease general managers concerns me.
Once in a while you come across a grade where you say "what in the world", and not im wondering if its because someone made a few calls. -

FYI, the deal the Sabres just made saves Pegula about $4m bucks. He’s basically run that team on an austerity budget since COVID.
For a guy who came in saying that he doesnt care about money (in sports ownership), he sure does a lot of cost cutting.-

And you believe that story? Honestly?
I tend to believe when several people tell the same exact story AND there is physical proof (they leaked the slide deck from that meeting) AND what they say is going to happen actually starts happening (layoffs started happening right after that).
To be honest I think one would have to purposefully ignore common sense to not believe it.

I’ve looked at it pretty closely. What exactly do you think this slide is supposed to show? It’s not unusual for companies to have different business goals for different offices, or market sectors, or services.
That poster didn't give you the backstory.
That slide was leaked along with several PSE employee comments about how the Pegulas treated their staff.
In that particular meeting, Kim Pegula allegedly told employees—per multiple sources—that their job was to ensure the Pegulas could maintain their lavish lifestyle. She would sooner fire staff earning meager salaries than cancel their lavish vacation to Tahiti.
The message was clear: you're expendable, your job is to fund our lifestyle, and our vacation matters more than you.
It made waves because it was the first time the public got a glimpse of the Pegulas’ not-so-polished side. -

So you believe our 2017 had much more talent than teams like the Falcons and Chiefs, who both made the playoffs that year in 2017....were to be easy wins?
The Chan Gailey Bills beat the Patriots in the prime of their dynasty.
Does that mean anything in the larger picture of that season?

I take your point about McDermott's 9-7 vs Marrone and Mularkey's 9-7 seasons. Particularly Mularkey's actually. Marrone's was an 8-8 masquerading as a 9-7 by beating the Patriots when the Bills were already eliminated and the Patriots were locked in on playoff seeding. There WAS an element of the Bills getting some breaks their way in 2017 that the tiebreakers favoured them and the Bengals pulled off the comeback in Baltimore.
Yeah, exactly.
And as I said before, I don’t hold anything against McD for 2017. He did a fine job. I just don’t give him huge kudos for going 9-7 against an absolutely awful schedule and falling ass-backward into the playoffs.

He didn't actually. That 2015 Bills team that Rex went 8-8 with was the most loaded Bills roster of my fandom aside from QB. Significant players on that team that were not on the 2017 team: Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods, Percy Harvin, Stefon Gilmore, Ronald Darby, Nigel Bradham, Mario Williams, Marcel Darues (who played 6 games in 2017 and was traded with the Bills at 4-2).
You and I have had this conversation before. We disagree greatly. You value the players on that team wayyyyy more than I do
And that’s ignoring the fact that McD is the reason those players were gone in the first place.

Actually, Mularkey wasn't unlucky. He failed to have his team prepared for the Steelers who came into the season finale with nothing to play for -- just like the Bills in last season's finale. An UDFA rookie named Willie Parker ran for 100+ yards against the Bills starters. The final score didn't reflect how badly the Bills got smacked around by Pitt's second and third stringers.
Call it whatever you want, he still missed the playoffs with the same exact record that McDermott made the playoffs.

These days lots of newly-hired HCs talk about "culture" and changing losing culture, but not many actually accomplish it in their first season. McDermott did so ... and he did it before he had an all-world QB.
I agree. And that is part of the reason why I have been a staunch supporter of keeping McD. It’s also why I stated (in the post you quoted) that my argument is not against McD, but rather against the argument that 2017 proves anything. Marrone and Mularkey both led us to 9-7 records - they just weren’t lucky enough to do so in a year where 9-7 meant a playoff berth.
From another perspective: Rex Ryan went 8-8 with the same roster that McD went 9-7.

You remember the roster McDermott took us to the playoffs with?
I remember.
I remember going to the playoffs with the same record that we missed out on the playoffs twice during the drought.I remember only having that record because we played the easiest schedule ever, facing Josh McCown, David Fales, Trevor Siemian, Jameis Winston, Jacoby Brissett, Derek Carr, Alex Smith, Matt Ryan, and Jay Cutler.
I remember needing Andy Dalton to save us.
This is nothing against McD… just saying that year proves nothing imo.

I also walk between 17-20K steps a day on my walking pad while working at my stand up desk.
How is your back?

I do multiple sets of full hill sprints with a 60lb vest and 40lb resistance pants as well as weighted sled pulls regularly...in addition to my regular strength training
Seriously?
If you're being honest, thats impressive. I practically stopped most hard physical effort after the age of 35 when body parts started to hurt. Maybe I should start again. -

Absolutely! But I thought it was interesting how close to the Watson signing those meetings were
The Watson signing was the focal point I think. Bidwell, the Cardinals owner, was quoted in the ruling as saying "Cleveland really screwed things up".
More context to that quote...
Spanos, the Chargers owner, told Bidwell "Your deal (with Murray) helps us for our QB next year.”
To which Bidwell responded “I think many teams will be happy with it once they have a chance to review." (along with the Cleveland comment)
Brandon Beane "might be the most sensitive GM in the entire NFL"?

I would even argue they barely contribute to W/L. Meaning, replacing a #1 CB with the #3 CB on the team (due to injury) is rarely going to be the reason a team loses a game.
Its why I dislike taking CB’s in the first round.
