Okay, so in this the thread, the OP proves to be a dope as he wants the Bills to pass more. This is just idiotic as the offense controlled the clock and had one of the best ground attacks that put points on the board, which kept the inept defense off the field. Let's use our heads here before we start a thread about Taylor being not good because they don't pass a lot, and understand that a balanced attack is often a great thing.

I think of Gronk as a douchy meathead. As far as NFL'ers go, there are worse types than that. I hate Tom and Bill much more.

covfefe- the resulting word when Donald Trump's hands are too small to use a smartphone keyboard
You're thinking of a speeding stojan

I say this every time, the European soccer teams do not make the public pay for stadia like we do. It considered the responsibility of the team to build their own palace. Many times the teams expand on existing grounds stand by stand instead of building a brand new stadium. Our government is so damn stupid to not figure this out.

Who shot the Shariff? cuz I shot the deputy

He never tweeted that.
As much as I don't agree with Elite Poster's points, Tucker did tweet that. He may have deleted it since, but it was up on his account.

and the NFL is banning these videos... !@#$ing hell. The NFL is living up to its No Fun League moniker

We've all seen the "replaceable" card. Chris Hogan was replaceable. So was Levitre. Fitz. Until they weren't. On and on it goes.
So, why are you advocating for getting rid of Shady?
-
There are hundreds of reasons to get rid of productive players, was the point.
That is just it. It is not wise to get rid of a productive player if you can't replace him.
-
This has nothing to do with should or shouldn't. It has to do with the possibility.
Here are a number of players gotten rid of while productive:
Shady
Jamie Collins
Chandler Jones
Brandon Marshall
Percy Harvin
Jimmy Graham
Matt Forte
Cooks
Boldin
Torrey Smith
That's all in the last 3 years. I'm sorry, but if you think Lesean McCoy was untouchable this offseason depending on our direction, I think you're crazy.
I wouldn't put Harvin in with the rest of these guys as he was hardly healthy, and effectively useless as the Bills discovered.
That said, you don't get rid off weapons for nothing, unless you are replacing it with something capable, or are in cap purgatory.
collins was traded because he was asking for more $ and the pats could absorb his loss, and the same applies with jones.
Marshall has to be a locker room cancer considering how many teams have dumped him.
The Seahawks traded a first and a pro bowl center to the Saints for Graham. That is a great deal for NO, as they had a lot of weapons for Brees.
Forte, I'll agree with you on.
cooks is a deal where the Saints have two capable receivers in Thomas and Snead, and are getting a 1st rounder back in the process
Boldin was let go because they couldn't afford him and Fitz. That is a no-brainer that you keep Fitz.
Smith tested free agency instead of taking what the Ravens offered.
In almost every case above these teams had capable replacements already on the squad. I like Gillislee, but I don't rate him as highly as Shady, and would question if his stats are more of a byproduct of Shady and Tyrod.
-
Teams get rid of high priced, close to 30, still productive players all the time. It's even happened to Shady!
Using GM chip Kelly as an example is proof that you shouldn't get rid of weapons before 30.

Per Shefter he has passed his physical
https://twitter.com/adamschefter/status/834380255796350976
Now pack his bags, deactivate his badge and thank him for his service.
Over the middle !
... And the war drum beats on.
I am not the biggest Tyrod fan, but the reality is that he is better than anything we'll be able to get this offseason, minus maybe cousins. Even then it would cost a king's ransom to get him after he signs the franchise tender with the Skins. Same could be said about Watson as he'll be gone by the Bills draft. Other names linked with the Bills are less inspiring, such Alex Smith and Romo.
If the team did this well with the 7th ranked team in scoring with Tyrod. Maybe if we added talent to the defense (or coached them up right), the team could do better than 8-8.
-
That'll hurt his draft stock and take him down Kiper's Big Board.

Stole this topic from /r/nfl. Hey, it's the offseason...
Would NFL fans tolerate on-field/on-uniform advertising in exchange for a 100% un-interrupted broadcast and shorter games?
One of the biggest complaints NFL fans have is the sheer amount of commercial breaks during a standard NFL broadcast, so much so that the league is actively searching for ways to shorten commercial breaks and length of and streamlining games....
My question to you all is would you be okay if the NFL went full FIFA and changed their attitude towards advertising when it came to broadcasting games altogether?... 0 commercial breaks (excluding halftime), but have ads on the field of play (physical and through ads placed through computer graphics on the broadcast), and on player uniforms?
Where there used to be commercial breaks (Timeouts, stoppages of play..etc) will be filled with normal play review/game analysis/highlights from other games..etc) with the standard "brought to you by (x) advertiser".
Would you want that as a fan to avoid commercial interruptions? Do you think this is an actual course of action the NFL might ever consider? And if it were something that were to happen what would be the best and least-obtrusive way you think or would want to see it implemented?
I'd be okay with a hybrid of shorter breaks and on-field as the announcers are awful enough to give us a break of a beer commercial.

If you're not coaching technique, you're not coaching.
There are a lot of college coaches that are "recruiters" and nothing else. It is a freaking shame.
-
This is very typical and symptomatic of athletes moving up levels. This happens at colleges too. I have had athletes in different sports regress, due to the lack of coaching techniques. It is amazing to see that as you move up levels the coaches assume athletes know enough to fend for themselves. Because a person is a pro coach or a college coach doesn't mean that the coach knows his craft well.

I have watched enough ND games over the last few years. I just don't see the appeal for Kizer as a high round QB.

Raiders need to go to San Antonio or Mexico City
Given the current political climate, I'd hazard to guess that Mexico is not an option atm

Wouldn't it be?
Odds of missing playoffs in division = 3/4
minus
odds of being a conference wildcard team = 2/12
Convert to common fractions 3/4 = 9/12
9/12 - 2/12 = 7/12
or 58.333333% chance of missing the playoffs each year
calculated over 16 years?
which would equal
.000179750
which translates into
719/4000000
or 719 chances in 4 million
Where is the math wrong?
What are the odds of the Bills or any NFL team missing the playoffs 16 years in a row?
Final Answer = What is 719 in 4 million Alex?
or if you want to approximate it = 1 in 5563
Quick, somebody email Matt Patricia and ask him if I am right.
How about the union of probabilities of winning division or earning card= 1/4+2/12= 5/12 This makes use of the assumption that 3 of the 6 AFC playoffs spots can not be earned by the Bills as they can only win 1 division out of the 4. This is opposed to the brute force logic that 6/16 teams make the playoffs in the AFC each year.
Thus chances of not getting either spot being 7/12= 58.3% chance of missing the playoffs in a given year. So we agree with slightly different logic to come to the same conclusion.
However, you make the mistake of only using 16 years, when we are now on year 17. Thus, the random probability odds are 1 in 1/((7/12)^17), or 1 in 9537. Thus, that 1 in 6 million number is horse crap. When you consider the fact that the probabilities of winning the division and a wild card are not independent and that the team from one year to the next is not random, these odds become more common as shown the Monte Carlo sim that I believe Tom cited earlier. That said, ESPN, if you are looking to hire someone with a passion for sports with a math degree, and understands statistics and probability, please PM me, so I can send in my resume.

RIP Bruce... !@#$ you 2016

Did AW not get injured last year against the Pats in week 2?
Facts don't matter much to people who have strong opinions.
-
Sure i can. Put point on the board 1 out of 2 drives in OT. See asked fore more and everyone should too
It would help if our kicker wasn't on par with the kicker from UB, as the 3 points was there on the first drive in OT
-
One I am wondering is why they didn't grant White the time-out at the end of regulation, pre-snap. He clearly was calling time-out at that point, but the broadcast focused on Rex being late.
Gil Brandt's Top NFL RBs and QBs of All Time
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted · Edited by justnzane
A few typos as Brandt clearly copied and pasted from one guy to the next. Sayers played for the Bears for 6 more years than he actually did, and Barry made 50 pro bowls
As for QB's, I'd argue that Steve Young and Otto Graham belong on that list. I'd go as far as ranking Young ahead of Moon, Aikman, and Farve
