YES I did!! 👍

On top of the maybe 3 other threads asking the same thing, my only comment would be three positions have now filled, and one other, Detroit rumored to be close to filling, the chances drop down for Daboll. Still have Chargers and Houston left, but the opening for both HC and GM are dropping. In addition there probably are couple of other names still out there considered better ones too. Now that Brian Schottenheimer is no longer employed, I wonder if he'd even be in the running for a HC job, admittedly not the best thing on your resume that you fired from last job. Well hopefully will get this in before thread is shut down!

I'd imagine it works the same as players on the Bills roster. They are property until the end of the NFL year, which is sometime early March. That's why so many upcoming FA end up re-signing with their existing team as the existing team has exclusive rights until then and no one else can legally talk to them. So yes I think they could end up signing Stills to a contract to replace Brown, but would need to be much cheaper, like 1/2 of Browns contract not just a little cheaper. I'd resign McKenzie but also want to keep Roberts too.

So do I as a matter of fact. And I do pay for a subscription fee for it too.

Yeah they'd be better off going the Bills route and pick a GM who has worked with Rhule, at least they'd be on the same page. And Rhule might tend to listen to him more then also if it's someone he is comfortable with and respects.

Is the Ringer a subscription site or free?

Saw a post by Mayfield of the 4 teams left in the AFC, he's the oldest QB among them.

Both Johnson and Epenesa are young. Believe Jefferson can also play end and he's pretty young too. But overall would like to see improvement on the pass rush.

Drill another well! I had thought about Sherman awhile back, think he'd be a good depth signing. Without knowing the cash for 2021 have no idea how they can or can't afford them. To free up money, cut Morse save $5 mil, Brown $8 mil, Butler $8 mil, Addison $8 mil, Restructure/extend Smith, Matakevich, Hyde and maybe a couple others could free up close to $35 mil Not sure I'm liking what I see of Trey Hendrickson 13.5 sacks this year, but 9 of them came in the first two weeks of the season. What happened after that? Are there any better options? If not then I'd keep Addison Norman is a free agent, nothing to cut. Think between Morse, Feliciano and Williams, you keep two of the three and it's either Feliciano and Williams or Feliciano and Morse. They still will be short one spot on the line, use a 2nd or 3rd rounder on him

I'm not in disagreement, but I think many here back in September would have disagreed with us. Agree too like this upcoming off-season, very unlikely 7 draft picks will come close to making the roster. But you never know when you might draft the next 7th round super star.

But what about the other two behind them also fighting. With all the punches thrown, still managed to keep masks on. Security must have figured with on 6700 people we won't need to work that day as in a full stadium they usually arrive faster than this video shows. I will say this wearing a mask in the winters not the worst thing as keeps your face a little warmer.

Ah..... they got 6 months to heal!

Thought the comment about most rookie kickers only playing 13 games was interesting. To me that indicates most weren't drafted, either were signed midway through season, or were undrafted rookies, went to camp, got cut, placed on PS, then were activated either due to injury or poor performance by the incumbent. Bass being drafted in 6th round likely wouldn't have made it through waivers so placed more pressure on both the Bills and him to perform out of the gate. Throw on top of that no preseason or training camp made it even tougher. It would have been much easier and less pressure on him if we had started the season with Hause after 4 to 5 games and a few misses, cut him him and went to Bass. At that point many would have felt, can't be much worse. Instead the Bills cut an established very good kicker, admittedly not so good the past two seasons for a rookie who many felt was a mistake even drafting. Admittedly it took a bit of guts too on the Bills part to draft a QB and kicker both of which may never have seen the field at all this past season. Could easily have made the argument in September we'd have been much better using that draft pick on a LB with both Milano and Edmunds missing a game, and Milano a handful more. One pick worked out very well, the other remains to be seen what will come of it, but can't fault them overall for the selections. Seems to be a pattern here as the calls were mainly from sites like this. Just shows how little people here really know and how impatient and unrealistic fans are.

I feel a big difference between the two, Allen was made the starting QB his rookie year as he was their best option. Maybe not a very good option, but still their best. In Miami, they took a team with a winning record and a QB playing very well and from what you hear really liked by his teammates and benched him in favor of a rookie. Then even after two times Fitz having to come back into games to bail out the rookie, they went back to him the following week and not get any better play out of him either. Got to believe that would have upset many others on the team. Maybe the issue in Miami isn't so much being upset with Tua as much as being upset with managements decision.

They will be the 3rd team to lose 5 Super Bowls, but the only 0-5 team Is hard to believe NE has lost 5 already, but have won 6

Baker has leverage over the Browns too as he could dump the Brown to sign an exclusive deal with Progressive.

I will agree he's got a bit too aggressive over the past few weeks, but in between he also has had some good returns too. Was it 50 plus yards against NE? I highly doubt they will go with 5 WR as you're implying and if they did want to just sub McKenzie for Stills. Stills may be faster, but I'll take 3 years of comfort between Allen and McKenzie over a bit of speed. Even playing 4 of them and having the 5th on the bench ready to spell someone after a deep pass pattern is helpful, but again can be McKenzie. Stills was likely signed in case of injury to someone and also they now have exclusive rights until sometime in March to sign him to a cheap contract for 2021 thus allowing them to more easily cut Brown and not lose the speed piece.

Adam Gase would be a good choice! It is tougher to find that guy as it basically is either going to be some up and coming position coach with likely limited to no experience as a coordinator or someone who was fired. For any existing coordinator it's a lateral move, so not likely to generate interest and his existing team can block it. Then if you're hiring a defensive guy, would you really want to trust the offense to someone who's never called plays. It's much different than if say Daboll gets a HC job and he asks and is allowed to hire Ken Dorsey as his OC. He can work closely with him, but if a guy like Saleh is hired as HC, does make it tough to find the right guy for the OC job.

Your statement does worry me some, does that mean last week you were eating horse meat?

I think when Frazier was brought in that experience was something McD wanted and really needed to be able to lean on. Now is nice to have, but not needed anywhere as much. If they do go outside considering a number of the position coaches have been here multiple years, if you don't promote from within, run the risk of losing some of these guys as will feel no future here for them. Having said all that, really don't think Frazier is going anywhere. Most hires these days, they all want offensive creativity, the defense is good, but not great, and much of the defensive credit will go to McD anyway. I think for a defensive coordinator to get a HC job, their defense has to be lights out and on a staff where the HC comes from the offensive side.

In the broadcast, they were saying ankle, but likely stated that on how he was limping around. Could have been just the visual affect was limping like it was the ankle, but the root cause was the groin. Would make sense to as the groin bone is connected to the knee bone and the knee bone is connected to the ankle bone!

Even is the Bills wanted to, wouldn't they have to give compensation to Seattle or has his contract already expired?

On a similar note I've often wondered if that's what makes our offensive line so great at pass blocking? The defenders are afraid to rush to hard for fear of Allen scrambling, but then he does it anyway.

I'd assume at that point and all game planning was based on thought that Indy would need to score alot of points to beat us. So better go for it here, plus less than 2 minutes left for us to do anything with. Did we even use a TO on that drive?

Unless it's some kind of a loophole, can't call him up during regular season, but post season is not bound by that rule??
