I didn't vote as was looking for a 4th choice that states something along the lines of: "Yes it will happen and will start on time, but will be full of bumps and detours and key players missing games, maybe even the Super Bowl and will be completed, but no one will feel like the season was very legit, except maybe the TV sponsors."

I've said for a long time the NFL needs Stepford QB's! The game has got too fast, the players are too big and strong for the average or above average person to stand back there and figure things out and if/when he figures the mental part out, implement what's needed physically. There are a few out there smart enough, but they may not have the physical skills to pull it off. Fitz is a prime example. Kind of reminds me back in the 70's when first it was the Cowboys with Laundry who resorted to calling all the plays in from the sideline as didn't want their QB to have to figure things out all along out there. Quickly other teams followed. And yes am aware that Paul Brown did it way before, but didn't seem to catch on until Dallas implemented it.

Well the Wegman family must have many razors as they seem to be doing pretty well for themselves. But "well for themselves" and naming rights are still in a different area code of living.

As large as Wegman's is, think this is still out of their price range.

Agree he likely would not even sign a 2nd contract with the Bills if for no other reason than the team would value him as a backup and usually the player over values himself and finds some other team willing to take a chance on him with a larger contract than he is worth and goes elsewhere.

I think as this article pointed out he still has too many other intangibles, size, speed in his favor that even if he can't fix the concentration issue, he may not become a star # 1 TE, but could see him still becoming a #2 TE that defense would need to scheme for. He still finished #36 overall in receptions and 23rd in yardage and he was a rookie. Stats like that would likely keep him on a roster. I think things like that are fixable. It's like Josh Allen's accuracy issues. Most things you read and hear it's a mechanics thing with him as opposed to TT who I think was just a scatter arm. I'm sure he understands that himself, but in the heat of the moment it's sometimes forgotten. Give him enough practice time, eventually that becomes second nature and doesn't get forgotten during the game. Think it's the same with Knox.

Kind of surprised about having to eat in their hotel rooms. I'd have thought they would allow team to go to private room at hotel reserved for team only and let players eat together all 6 feet apart, may require shifts to fit everyone. And no one is allowed to pass the salt!

The story mentions how many have non disclosure agreements so can't talk. I'm sure ole Roger can require Danny boy to allow them to speak at a minimum to the NFL. Considering this story won't go away, sponsors, media, fans will be all over this, also require him to allow them to speak freely to anyone. I'd think the NFL and other owners aren't particularly fond of Danny either as years of losing hurts the $$ value, so may see them be quick to attempt to force him out. Accidentally leak transcripts if needed to get the job done.

I assumed that was the case as skimming through an 11 page thread, I think I only saw one other post mention he couldn't access the article. Must be due to that time I led my dog pee on a copy of the Post!

Am I the only one who can't view the story without having a subscription?

I wouldn't give him credit for tanking, think it was going to tank regardless. And the economy was thriving along pretty good since about 2012. And also the same guy who had a "Hunch" it was going away and the same guy who suggested gargling with bleach to cure it.

Based on that I could see the team offering Shaq less money than he got in Miami. And am fine with the premise that they signed a better replacement.

What did Addison's numbers look like in the years prior to FA like 2 to 3 years back. Shaq looked solid last year, but prior, not very good. Maybe he just looked good for the contract. Same could be true for Addison as I don't know what is 2017 and 2018 number of sacks, etc looked like.

Add to the fact that you now live in Virginia and originally were from the same location that Bruce played in, what are the odds!!

The league doesn't want a PR nightmare, was reading yesterday that the amount of tests the NFL would need is much higher compared to the NBA due to number of players and coaches and length of season still ahead. The NBA reported to the "bubble" last week about three weeks prior to NFL training camp opening day, they will be down to 8 teams max left by Sept 15th, two days after the season opener so close to the same time frame as NFL training camp and preseason schedule. Eight NBA teams is about the equivalent of two NFL rosters and coaches. Read yesterday tier-1 personal, i.e. people allowed inside all facilites will be limited to 60 per team plus all players. So 90 players in training camp + 60 is about 150 per team.

But the league stated they are not going to take supplies away from critical first line responders and medical personal!

And if they do figure that out, they will catch hell from the rest of the country who are waiting over a week for test results, some even much longer.

I guess I'm shocked at how quickly this is being announced. Considering the owner for years stated, they will never change the name, I expected a fairly long study, maybe in hopes the controversy would quite down and he could totally avoid changing it, if not by next off-season it would change. And to me, I understand it's a hot topic, but considering how long they have been with the same name, I would think long and hard as to a new one before changing it. Unless they announce they are going to a temporary name. So to me this is breaking news.

And I probably could have put the original question in there too, but I thought we're supposed to keep minimal the amount of material we steal I mean quote from other sources

I'll add #5 to your list which IMO is the biggest difference. They were practicing at a point in time when things were getting better in most of the county numbers wise. Now things are heading out of control in many parts.

OK too close of a name! LOL

God I hope not, give the guys the team drafted a chance before writing them off. Been stated in a number of articles, Knox needs to be on the field as much as possible. This type of knee jerk move goes against that! OK, yeah had the wrong name, wrong position, wrong current team, but other than that was exactly correct.

Really I'd say they've been pretty accurate, the problem not enough following what they recommend.

Well actually that wasn't where I read the article, I read it on The Athletic site which a link wouldn't do much good if you don't have a subscription. And if you have a subscription, you probably also read it. Guess it also confuses me as thought you're not supposed to use/quote too much of other sources.

He was replying to a Bills fan who was basically implying the Bills made a huge mistake in not signing Cam or Winston. So that was his response.
