Cowboys nation in full meltdown. Very entertaining. The running thought is that McCarthy surprised Jerry by turning him down. Which would be pretty huge.

Simon was like "slow news day, ill let the board have at this guy a little longer"

That's all that matters when you are starting threads about board policy and moderation. You need to adapt to the environment. We arent changing almost 30 years of policy for you.

lol, a part of me loves these types of posts. some newb comes along and doesnt agree with how the best run community online is managed. good luck!

I'd question that because I was there in the 90s when the Refs used to throw flags on the crowd at Rich Stadium for being too loud. Even had equipment on the sidelines to measure the dBs and would penalize us once we went over the loudness of a jet engine. Havent seen anything like that since.

Couldnt care less what these jabronis have to say.

Maybe in a different year with a different draft class. But this is a DL-heavy draft, similar to WR last year. We should be able to get a DE, 1DT, and even a 3DT out of it. Not worth overpaying another old guy.

Ball spins the other way and takes different angles, and can be weird to catch if you arent used to it.

Saving my trip so I can be in Buffalo for the SB and parade. edit: plus I dont want to be around that many Chiefs fans. Will never wash the stink off.

"I know it's not fancy, but damn is it..." then notices Josh looking at him and knows something is coming. Was probably going to say something like "but damn is it important"

Have them perform on the steps of city hall for the parade in Buffalo on 2/14

Agreed with a lot of the first paragraph. But Philly is a real bad match up for us. They're similar but better than the version of the Ravens we got in week 4 this year. I worry more about that match up than the Chiefs. But gotta get through Arrowhead first.

That's exactly what they tried to do with DPI review and the refs revolted. No way do they allow this.

Agreed in general, but there will be no culture shift no matter who they hire while Woody and Brick are still in the building.

I'm actively trying to fight these feelings because whenever I get this confident we usually get let down horribly. But dang it, it really feels like these guys could do it.

The Falcons did it right when they opened the new Mercedes Benz Stadium a few years ago. No reason the Bills and other teams couldnt do this.

Call me crazy but I think something like an Eye in the Sky calling EVERYTHING to the strict letter of the rule would completely ruin the game. It's a game of chaos. Humans smashing into other humans with reckless abandon. I think we've seen plenty of examples of over-officious jerks making games unwatchable by throwing flags. Just let them play.

Saw this band get boo'ed offstage at Aerosmith @ Darien Lake 1993 But the song makes a great appearance in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, so I'm fine with it.

Ha, I hope not. But if there is, I'm sure Bills PR already deleted it. If not, the Bills amazing social media team has the chance to do the funniest thing ever.

They cant say much after a Super Bowl win, and even if they do, it wont matter.

Yep. McD even says in this clip "welcome to my team meetings", so this is hardly the first time Josh has messed with him. I bet it happens all the time. Must be so fun to be in that building nowadays.

I mean, ok. I'm not arguing much of anything. Just providing insight on how certain people feel about something to give context on why a certain discussion is occurring.

Love it, because he isnt getting rid of the team anytime soon, and is already lining up Brick to take over.

Sure, but that's pretty much how it should be done for any/all rookie QBs. The Bills did it with Josh as well. Providing him a major support structure to help him develop, and Daboll calling plays and scheming to fit his strengths. The teams that wanted to just plug and play were the Browns and the Jets, and that is why they are perennial basement dwellers and both of their QB picks are finding greater success elsewhere right now. Because the current discussion is on Lamar. Sure, they could also thank Cam and Mahomes, etc. But I also think it's because Lamar is the most glaring example of NFL Execs getting it wrong, and having to rethink their approach. Which lead directly into a lot of those other kids getting drafted early. Maybe even TOO early for some of them.

That's the worst way to do it. That is how you incentivize (force) companies to hire unqualified people, just to get the reward. Instead the league is rewarding the teams who gave the minority candidate a foot in the door, and helped develop them into a HC/GM candidate. It's about expanding your hiring pool, opening doors, and providing opportunity. From there, it's up to the person to earn it himself.
