I am not saying the Bills will win, but the Bengals are still the Bengals. Buffalo was about pick against NE, and while Buffalo's star may have dimmed since then, the Bengals are not NE from the bettor's perspective. So I suspect the spread will be quite small, with the Bills at home.

No way. At home, Bills will be small underdogs at most... 1-3 points.

I would agree. Plan is clear-- make it possible to win with-- hopefully-- average QB play and make it easy as possible for the QB to perform adequately. The O-line is the biggest piece left, try to make it well above average. If they can do that, then EJ or some mediocre vet-- Sanchez, Locker-- may give us the SF/KC/Alex Smith model. Another weapon in TE would not hurt either. Good thoughts... CD

As it would be with a first rounder.

This is the only interesting thing here. Pegula would not extend anyone.

Your point is so subtle that its meaning eludes me.

And here's the thing, that view is supported by the simple logic that the Pats-- or anyone-- don't get caught every time they cheat, or they'd stop cheating. Like in baseball, if you are not successful stealing 75-80% of the time, you should stop stealing because it hurts you more than helps. So one must assume in the aggregate that cheating pays off overall for the Patriots, and when they get caught it is simply the cost of doing business-- or in this case cheating. It defies reason that they are only cheating when they get caught. It must be just the tip of the iceberg.

Right, but his acclaim and success were a total fraud. But for the cheating no one likely would have ever known who LA was. Did a washed up Cleveland coach and 6th round pick do what was needed to become famous. Would we have ever heard of them otherwise? Just asking?

True. But the consistent performances over the years defying all odds are eerily similar between LA and the Pats. I am not saying Pats dope, but when you do things that seem impossible to do over 15 years and then you see all this cheating, is there not even something more fundamental going on here?

It is starting to look like it. When something is too good to be true it probably is. What else do they do?

Yes, it is like a corked bat in baseball.

No, apparently not. Each team provides its own balls for offense that they maintain control over. I did not know that until this morning.

Fire Chan is Cutler's mom. So take everything from that perspective and it makes sense. That is absolutely untrue and cannot be proven according to Fire Chan.

Exactly. Like Cutler is an a-hole.

Take care.

Wow, you are amazing-- it's like proving to you water is wet. Are you Cutler's mom?

OK... that's the problem now days, everyone feels entitled to their own facts. Hard to have a meaningful discussion. But if Cutler had Flacco's drive, determination leadership skills and personality, then I would agree you might be on to something.

Why do you want to like a guy who is widely despised? I mean why do you rationalize this?

Thanks!

I don't know how to link. But if you google Jay Cutler attitude or Jay Cutler arrogance you'll find everything you need. Sorry about my technological limitations.

No one said that about Orton-- no one. And what do you care if other people get excited, not your concern.

OK I understand. We agree that a good QB is very important. You are suggesting creative/expensive ways to find one, because they are so hard to find. That's cool.

Seriously? Just google him. He is largely detested by fans and teammates alike.

No, he is not. Flacco is a stand-up stud of a QB with good but not great skill, Cutler is a dysfunctional prima donna with good but not great skill. Sorry. Flacco won a SB at 27-- Cutler is pushing 32 and has done nothing.

Please don't say things like "accepting mediocrity." Nobody "accepts that" and it makes you come off like you are more discerning than everyone else. You have an idea, it is interesting. It is not likely-- IMO-- to lead anywhere except an awful team with all the wasted picks you propose. But it is different.
