The entire football world should care about Schatz' opinion. I mean the former spring break beach MC said we could draft a player at a different position and he'd still be the best QB on our roster. We must heed his warnings on what we need.

I thought that Scotch Bingington was the Spring Break MC?

I think all the interceptions turned off everyone to him. Almost Fitzpatrick like.
True. The INT's didn't help. And Fitzy was never THAT bad, I think it's unfair to make that comparison.

Anyone hating on Nate after his limited action, some very bad some good is being disingenuous.
A picture paints a thousand words but it is just a snapshot in time and not the whole story.
Honestly, I think Savior Peterman turned off many to NP here. I know that I had a hard time liking the kid with that tool roaming around (when he wasn't in high level business meetings). Plus, he was pretty terrible for most of his time on the field. SD and JAX seem to be the rule so far. Not saying he isn't and isn't going to get better than what we've seen thus far, but it's almost guaranteed he won't see the field this season, especially if the Bills move up again. Oh, and I like CB, he's a valuable member on this board.

I vote to oust McDermott and appoint Homer Simpson as coach.
End of season meeting - "Well, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is; never try."
It's worth thinking about. He (and Lisa) made a ton of money gambling on football, so he knows the sport. Also, I believe he had a short stint as owner of the Broncos (from Hank Scorpio), so he has that background as well.

Yep, though I'd still say the same thing with him in the fold. They'll take a QB no later than 12 imo. Probably still move up.
Agree with you and them

With no vet QB signed, it would seem waiting for QB scraps at 22 is unlikely to be the plan. That's what they'd do if they had say, signed a Keenum or traded for Foles. It looks like a rook plays much sooner than later, so that would probably mean a move up to at least 5.

I don't buy a deal was locked up at the combine, unless Gettleman told Beane "you need to move up into the early teens and we've got a deal".
The thing that angers me about not signing a vet FA option is it tanks leverage. It's one thing if we were to sign a Bridgewater / McCarron / Bradford etc and still shop to move up in the draft. Then we could semi-credibly tell teams "we aren't going to be destroyed on a trade, worst case we'll start this guy and take all the depth from our draft picks." It's something else when our options are Nathan Peterman and whoever might be available at 12 in the draft. I really want to hope we've got a deal in place for something, because watching any credible option sign elsewhere under the assumption we have enough ammo to move up without an agreement in place leaves us very open to be called on a bluff.
Boom, AJ

Depends on of that turns out to be a straw or just pizza crust.

8th year is when the magic happens.
All of the other OC’s didn’t think of this. ????♂️
Come on, Roman and Lynn both had some success with Tyrod under center, because they played more to his strenghts. Rico went completely the other direction, and it showed.

I bet they do it to prevent people from buying them strictly for resale.
Not sure why they care, though, if they are selling more tickets.
To me it says the owners care about their own fans, and are doing what they can to prevent $100 seats from selling for $500 on the secondary market. Secondary market prices real fans out of events all the time. The Super Bowl is the ultimate example of this.

If i were you i would try to get in touch with Terry or Kim some way, some how because that is just plain ignorant business on the part of the Bills !!
That's like walking into a restaurant on a road trip & them saying because you don't live here & your just passing through we can't serve you !!
Totally disagree. I think he knows EXACTLY what this means. It does more good than bad imho.
16 minutes ago, Shaw66 said:Turns out the policy has been in place for a couple of years now.
It makes some sense to me, especially if you think the team is on its way to some years as a championship contender.
How many of these requests do you think they get? Maybe 100 a year? How many are from legitimate fans who want to attend most games, and how many are from people who will be reselling? I'd bet at least half are resellers. So the Bills are giving up $100,000 of revenue by saying no to out of town buyers. Half of them are serious fans, many or most of whom will find a way to circumvent the rules to get tickets - usually by just having a friend or relative buy for them. The resellers are more likely just to move on. In other words, the Bills will still half the tickets, and it'll only cost them about $50,000 a year to have said no. When the Bills are winning, it means they have those unsold tickets in inventory to sell to local fans who want season tickets or even single game tickets.
This does several things: 1. There are fewer fans of the opposing team in the stadium. 2. The Bills are able to satisfy ticket demand in the local area, making more fans that really matter to them happy and increasing secondary market value to the Bills. Local advertisers are more interested in marketing with the Bills the more local fans are happy. 3, Selling locally means more kids coming to the games, and that helps build fan loyalty in the next generation.
Ding ding ding......

Beane didn't go into details on the exact work that Guilamo's team will do for them (for obvious reasons)
But this has been rehashed for years, and it's proven in other fields that analytics add another dimension to the decision making. There's no reason it can't be applied to sports, whether it's personnel or game management. We've had a front row seat of the massive gut-feel football failures. Adding more analytical data certainly can't hurt.
I agree with everything except the bolded.

Not sure what you mean here, but the below seems to imply that it was already happening:
"That's why Bills GM Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott made a firm commitment to further developing the analytic side of their football operation this offseason.
Hiring Luis Guilamo, who was already working for the team as an outside consultant over the past year, was the first step. They will steadily build out a department ...."
Also, why would anyone here expect Brown (Or Murph/Jones) to give them anything other than the Bill's PR view of things? How many of you guys go out and write articles about poor decisions that were made by your senior management? Not a great career move, imo.

I'd rather see refs held accountable when making crappy calls.
Most of these PI calls are when both players are going for it. Either flag them both, or don't throw one at all.
Totally agree that far too many of these calls are BS. They should leave it as is, and stop being so overly protective of the WR.

I feel like Hardy was the consensus #2 pick around here. Just looked back at that whole draft, what a clunker.

When it comes to loose lips sink ships, every bills guy I meet discusses is it just as much as the next. I also have a way to talk to people in which becomes an interview and get them to dish. It's Decades of listening to Howard Stern essentially
