  1. Yes, if McDermott was to ever voluntarily step down, but no, otherwise.  McDermott's been a very good HC.  He's not perfect, but seems to learn from past mistakes.  He's only missed playoffs one season and the 17-yr playoff drought is not that distant of a memory yet to forget about.

    The part I recall him talking about how when he first bought the Redskins, he stated that RW talked with him more than a number of other owners did early on. Sounded like RW was more friendly with him than other owners were at the time.  

     

    Sounded like at the owners meetings the owner all kind of have unofficial assigned seating and Washington and Buffalo were near each other so that helped kindle their early chats.

    Interesting.  Thanks for that.

    I recall when RW died, Snyder have very nice things to say about Ralph.  He seemed to have spoken more than many other owners did at the time.

    I found Snyder's remarks on Wilson - may not be everything he said, but this was captured ...

     

    “We are deeply saddened by the passing of the great Ralph Wilson. All of us have lost a NFL legend whose passion for his team was inspiring. We will always be thankful for Ralph’s contributions to the development of the AFL and NFL.”

    Daniel Snyder, Redskins owner

    In Gaelic football, it actually works the other way, 3 points below the crossbar (a goal) and 1 point (a point) above the crossbar.  The goal posts are taken to extend upwards forever.  They only use cameras to decide on whether a point is scored -- not goals.

     

    Actually FGs would be more exciting if the NFL gave more points for lower field goals.  That would increase the probability of a FG being blocked and require much more precision and touch from the kicker.

     

     

     

    Good point!

    In Gaelic football it is only used to decide if a point is scored, that is if a ball crosses above the crossbar and between the goalposts.  It would be similar to deciding whether a field goal is good or not.

     

    How about this for field goals?  ... 😀 ...

  6. Looks like the Bills released #93 Bryant today as per Bills' transaction page.  Curious decision ...

    3rd on list ...

    "Placed WR Jamison Crowder on the Injured Reserve list. Released DT Brandin Bryant."

     

    Perhaps they are hoping to get him back on PS, but he has to clear waivers, first?

    Something I just don't understand. Since Bills are on tomorrow night, decided to watch Giants today and once again, it's apparent that Daniel Jones is "unaware" and has a "weak" arm. Although not as necessary as Buffalo, the wind and weather in MetLife stadium calls for a QB with a strong arm. The decision making on Daniel Jone sport is terrible as well, hasn't improved since Duke. Lucky for them that interception was dropped or they would've lost. The guy is a weak link on that offence. Seems as if Daboll has that team disciplined and playing as a team but hard to buy that he won't try and get rid of Daniel Jones for an upgrade. Not surprised NY Giants tried hard to sign Mitch Trubisky. 

    Yes, I watched a portion of the Giants game, too.  Jones is serviceable, but certainly is not a top-10 type of QB.

    I assume proceeds to charity?

    Why this assumption?  A guy can't make a buck?  He does quite a bit for charity, as it is, don't you think?  In any event, your assumption is correct.  As per link provided by \GoBillsInDallas/ ... "A PORTION OF EACH SALE BENEFITS JOHN R. OISHEI CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF BUFFALO."
