Anger and fear are the most potent ways to get a reaction from people. It's also the easiest. Chuck Dickerson succeeded on the radio because he got people mad. And when you're mad, you stop thinking.

I actually called Schoop and Bulldog the other day and asked if anyone considered the scope of this rule change? (FYI, They didn't.) This changes the old fashioned kickoff into a wildcat running play with only one layer of defense. In the XFL, this rule only resulted in 2 kickoff returns for touchdowns. But consider that XFL teams have no off-season and minimal training camps. Teams are put together and game plans worked out in a few weeks. Now consider NFL teams have higher level talent and coaches that can work year-round on game planning, plus have mini-camps, training camp and preseason games to implement this. And with both receiving team and coverage teams lined up against each other in line across the field, there are no second or third level defenders to make tackles, except for the kicker. If you create a hole and your guy gets through it, you are off to the races. So I'm really curious to see how this works out for the NFL because it completely changes the skill sets needed. Open field blockers versus line-of-scrimmage run blockers. Kick returners versus runners that can find holes. There might be one or more kick returns for TD per game, and will that be a good thing.

I knew this is what the Bills were heading for years ago and started putting away some money in anticipation. Now if the actual cost of those PSLs go beyond that amount I'm not sure what I'll do.

In a sense. Some schools require a mandatory donation to buy tickets. I thought I read @Mr Info saying some sections are sold out already?

NFL puts touchbacks on the 30. XFL put it on the 40 as an illegal kick penalty. Almost every NFL rule change came from either college or a rival league.

Oddly enough, the UFL abandoned the XFL-style kickoff rule and went back to the usual format. This changes the kickoff strategy 100%. Now it's about making holes to run through. There's no second level so once you break through it's a foot race. The old way. The XFL made you convert a 4th and 15 at your own 25 to retain possession. The NFL did not adopt that rule. Just doing this in preseason is impractical. Preseason is when you work on plays for the upcoming season. Why put in all that work for a rule that goes away?

Or a tunnel, like the I-95 Harbor Tunnel.

But what about the cement foundations?

You need an attitude adjustment. Report to the nearest iDucation center immediately.

I used to live in Baltimore but rarely drove on the Key Bridge. I'm stunned at how easily the bridge went down. I thought those supports were sturdier.

His team, his money.

You know how people sometimes see what they want to see?

How are we not Canada's team?

People get pretty righteous when the Bills are good, don't they? Where were they from late November and December during the drought years?

This thread title is misleading. I thought it meant the Bills released all of their PSL tiers.

There are people who pore over hundreds of hours of college film to scout players, but watching a few spring games is too much??

Why? So 100+ players get an NFL camp invite.

No thanks. I'll just hit my own balls with a hammer.

That is incorrect. The defense has improved greatly. UPL has been great too but it's not all one, it's both. What failed this year is the scoring from last year but even that's picking up now. Could be injuries. But the the big thing is the improvement in defense and finding a #1 goalie. You need that to be a playoff team. So the hope is next year will be the year. If not, then we can talk about coaching/GM changes. At least you would have given Adams and Granato a long chance.

But they also made small gains every year, so they aren't getting fired. Pegula has rode the coach/GM carousel long enough to know that having a trigger firing finger doesn't work.

Well Adams and Granato are going to extend their tenures next year.

You don't want to hear it but Terry is the only reason we aren't watching the Toronto Bon Jovi Bills now. I also don't think either of you watch the Sabres much, other than the scoreboard and standings. It just takes longer to develop a team in hockey. The Sabres are slowly getting there now that they have a goalie and defense.

He has a salon he runs with Tiny Troy.
