  1. Yes but very strange that it didn't happen then right after the season ended as normally would be the case on coaches fired. So have to believe there was more to it, like Frazier was given an ultimatum, "this is the way we're going to do things this coming year" He thought about, decided he couldn't support it. At that point, late February, did they then "allow him to leave" rather than be fired, possibly. But based on timing, I don't believe it was a simple firing. There had to be more to it based on timing.
  2. Between comments made by McD earlier about being more aggressive makes me wonder if there was more discussion between him and Frazier on what needed to change defensively. Maybe Frazier half halfheartedly agreed to it, but as he thought about it more, came to conclusion he didn't want to do that so after alot of "soul searching" decided to resign. McD then stepped int to call the plays.
  3. I think Klein has a role, but don't think it's to be the starting LB in the Bills Defense. Seems their scheme is based on that guy clogging the middle on pass plays and reducing the passing lanes. Or maybe as someone stated the other day, the plan is to go with 3 safeties and 3 CB's on passing downs and they signed the new safety for that? But the nice thing about both Edmunds and Johnson is they could play both pass and run downs so weren't giving anything away to the offense based on who was in on the play. Putting Klein out there says we're playing to stop the run.
  4. I meant better in that he got an extra 2nd round pick out of the trade and more saying in a joking manor.
  5. Two seasons ago when he played due to injuries elsewhere, once they figured out how to use him best, he was good. Just don't ask him to help with coverage, but was good against run.
  6. So Joe B of the Athletic is a better negotiator than you as he also traded with Detroit, threw in a 5th but he was able to wrangle an extra 2nd out of them. Then traded 2 sixths to get back into 5th. This is his latest. I suppose this violates the rules of this thread as he did make an additional late round trade. I know many will not be happy with no O lineman early, but really isn't an easy path for one to make the 53 man roster without cutting someone who likely would be better player in 2023 than who they may draft in mid rounds.
  7. Think I read they are staying at the Biltmore Hotel out in Arizona probably at about $600 a night. I'm sure staying at such a luxurious place allowed them to come to this monumental decision to allow players to wear number zero!
  8. Are these two guys from NSync?
  9. Couple comments: Well one of the three must have been taking the photo. Belichick must also be missing as don't see anyone wearing a hoodie Sean Peyton looks like he could play some linebacker!
  10. I'd have expected to see good strong teams in the bottom 10 and weak losing teams in the top 10 as the weak teams don't have any good players, But in reality, both top and bottom 10 have a mix of both good and bad teams.
  11. Article must have been written a few days go as not mention of the Bills signing Harris. Will agree Athletic does have very good well written content. Admittedly sometimes a little longer than I'd like, though does seem like the articles have got shorter than they use to be.
  12. Well they do play at the Chargers so a 4:25 eastern time start likely would be before sunset in LA. That game too would be a good national doubleheader choice as opposed to a 4:05 start regional game. Actually kind of disappointed that a guy wit ha user name of SoCal wouldn't have thought of that on his own!
  13. Agree if he really does still need rehab. Wasn't he hurt though back in September?? If so would think he'd be ready to go this year. Think a better likelihood would be they just cut him end of August and he makes it through to PS. Agree in that not likely much of a market for him. But there are the Giants, or Bills East I guess they should be called now.
  14. Unless he were to actually be hurt, doubt you can do that, not that it's not done. But also would be surprised if Doyle would go along with it as I'd think at this point, he'd want a chance to actually play, not another year sitting out. Having two rookies backups is a bit risky if any of the 7 above him were to get hurt. It's one thing if rookie were a 1st rounder or even lower level pick but is starting and getting time with other starters. But to have get by with a mid round rookie starting due to injury is risky on a SB contending team. I see the Bills in a bit of a Catch 22 with the OL. They need to bring in and develop rookies for long term, but could downgrade the line short term.
  15. You also have Doyle, so that leaves 12 OL and means you'll be cutting three of them, plus any other lower rated players they may have as typically teams go wit h9 on the 53 man roster. To me that's not a good use of money as likely cutting players you just gave a signing bonus too. Granted not high bonuses, but when tight against the cap to start with, every $$ counts.
  16. So who are you cutting? They now have inside Morse, Bates, McGovern, Ike B, & Edwards. Quez even played some guard last season. That's 5, normally all a team carries and have 3 guys who can play center. Unless it's a sixth or seventh round draft pick can get away with cutting him and moving him to PS, anything higher, they risk another team grabbing him. To me it doesn't make much sense to draft or sign guys in the spring, play them signing bonus to then turn around and cut. I know they did it last year with Howard, but not good use of money.
  17. These are the same people who wanted to get rid of Bass after about 4 games too! And every August state how if the Bills don't keep so and so on the roster, most often an undrafted rookie, he'll be grabbed up by another team only to see no interest in player.
  18. Thought it was funny about 2 weeks ago hearing Rodgers ripping the Packers for not being up front with their plans to move on. This is the same guy two seasons ago, Green bay had no idea what he was planning to do, play retire, no one knew. Hey Arron, as they say, what goes around comes around!
  19. Well that's true, but very likely they are going to lay down the fiber lines with or without ST. I wonder too how much fiber are they laying down compared to Verizon and ATT? Are they really a big player? I'd have been more than happy with the streaming online version, then no box or hardware needed. I'd have paid them $300 for that. When I stated I couldn't find an address to work to get the service I was also referring to the streaming version then too.
  20. Yes but You Tube didn't have to pay to lay the fiber down your street, or maintain. Or send someone out to your house to fix and issue or first time start up. While it can take some time and pressing about ten different prompts, you can talk with someone at the cable company or even DTV. If anything the internet providers will keep raising the prices and they have more of a monopoly on you. Whereas there are so many streaming service to choose from will help keep prices in check Has anyone ever spoken to someone at You Tube? And frankly very little of anything to talk with them about. So yes, You Tube TV will go up in price in fact they just did, but won't need to raise prices as much as cable does.
  21. Agree, the cost for the boxes and all these extra fees was what made it crazy high.. Plus DTV would always jack the prices way up once the initial discounts expired. It was crazy. I recall when I finally dumped DTV, my discounts had expired and the price was going to like double. I called them up and they maybe offered me like $10 off total. So dumped them, 2 weeks later they offered me a price much cheaper than what I was even asking them to give me. But then was too late, had already went elsewhere. They will still get maybe $300 from each person for ST. There still are many with cable, other streaming services, etc that don't want to give up what they already have. If they required you to also have You Tube TV or make it too pricey, these people may not bother subscribing to ST. Instead they'll do what many folks do and use the illegal downloads. Can't recall how many times I'd see someone post here, they'd gladly pay for ST if it didn't require them to also subscribe to DTV for another $1500 a year or so and this was when Cable still cost around $75 a month. If you Tube can just convert even half the illegal streamers to their product, they'll be well ahead. And don't anyone post that you could get ST without DTV if you had an eligible address. I tried many addresses, even used my mothers address from when she was in a nursing home and that came back as ineligible.
  22. Boy I hope not. What else will we have to complain about then?
  23. I wonder if there is any type of lag on announcements on Sundays?? Is there an NFL office acknowledgement required first before teams woulds announce and they aren't working Sunday??
  24. OK, Monday is the first day of spring. I'll be waiting for an email!! Is the delay actually You Tube or just due to internet streaming lag within each users one home? Wonder if this will be like when HD TV first came out. Think it was on DTV, was an extra monthly $10 cost, but eventually once it became mainstream, the extra fee was dropped. The biggest reason I have You Tube over any type of cable package is I own two houses, so allows me to pay for one service and use it in two locations.
  25. More insight into Miller's time at the combine. For those questioning the motives it was originally suggested by Beane he come to the combine. Article also touches on him doing this and issues with tampering, though think it would more be a case of anyone from other teams talking to Miller would be the teams in trouble, not the Bills. https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/von-miller-brandon-beane-general-manager/article_48c931bc-c4dd-11ed-a6fe-83ca5e31b5f5.html?utm_source=buffalonews.com&utm_campaign=%2Fnewsletter-templates%2Flocal%2Fbills&utm_medium=PostUp&lctg=4092700&tn_email_eh1=f2f6da65fd0a372cbbfa3da63dae5ef3bd72e8f6
