Low Positive

But its not just Reid. It's actually really common for HCs that were OCs to call the plays. Off the top of my head, this is the list: Nick Siriani Zach Taylor Sean McVey Kevin O'Connell Kyle Shanahan Mike McDaniel Josh McDaniels Matt LaFleur There are probably more of them.

NHL players talk about how difficult arbitration hearings are because they are in the room to hear the team tear their performance apart in an attempt to get a lower ruling. It must feel strange due to the disconnect between the Ravens' marketing of Lamar the player and their refusal to pay him what he feels his performance warrants.

Otherwise known as Zack Ertz Syndrome. They’ll start working on a cure just as soon as they finally come up with another med for chronic moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

You notice how you never hear about the Bengals restructuring contracts? It’s because they always have cap space because the owners have their own budget which is lower than the cap itself.

After all, that’s how the Tennessee Titans have won all those rings.

This is an excellent post that not only explores OTs and drafting but also puts some needed context on the ***** “Reid fired McDermott” canard that gets thrown around here a lot. But posts like this get zero engagement. Next time, just say “if the Bills draft a non-LT in the first, Beane should be fired immediately.”

He played in black and yellow for Iowa, so he’s giving people Steeler LB vibes. If he used a neck pad and had a mullet, Bills Mafia would advocate for a trade up. The portion of Bills fans that reside here on TBD are stuck in the 90’s.

Josh actually lost the Jets game too. Von got a strip sack that should have ended it and Josh threw another INT that led to the Jets game winning FG. I think the INT was the very next play after the sack.

AFAIK, they’re not asking for 27. They want a 2nd.

The thing is that the Cardinals don't have to trade him. They could keep him and expect to contend in 2024 when Kyler is back for the whole season.

Here's my unpopular opinion from February/March 2018: We should draft Roquon Smith at 12 and wait until the second round to get Mason Rudolph. That maximizes the value of the draft picks.

I agree with everything here except the part about needing a dome. There are no domes in the NFL, only stadia with roofs.

The only connection is that the Cards do monumentally stupid things and then have to do other stupid things to undo the stupid things that they did before.

You said unpopular? How about this: Leslie Fraiser's call on that infamous 3rd and 4 play in the Bengals game was the correct one. Everyone talks about 3rd and 4, but everyone forgets that the play was 3rd and 4 on the Bills 14 yard line. A soft zone concedes the first down but prevents the TD. Not only that but the closer a defense is playing to the goal line the less that they have to worry about WRs getting behind the DBs on a slippery field. All of this was intentional and we know this because the coverage tightened up after that play. The game was lost when Josh Allen overthrew Diggs on the first drive. If he hits that throw, the game would have been a shootout instead of a blowout. Tremaine Edmonds was an excellent MLB for the Bills and his absence will be noted.

The more I think about this, the more that I’m sure that Beane leaked this. He sees all the rumors and chatter out there and wants to temper expectations.

It’s always interesting with leaks like that to try to figure out in whose interest is that information being published.

I don’t usually agree with you (except about music), but this is true. There is an arms race in the AFC and the Bills need to get in that game or they have to wait for two years for the Bengals and Jets to fall back. But by that time Diggs and Von will be gone. The time to load up is now.

But he’s got a cool nickname!

I am actually a huge tennis fan. But Terry and Kim don’t go to every match. I’ve seen Jessie play a few times here at the 1000-level tournament here in Cincinnati and they were never there.

There is an owners meeting in Phoenix this weekend.

Kincaid isn’t a good blocker. The thing that makes Kelce and Gronk so great is their ability as receivers and as blockers.

They notice you, but only when you make a mistake.

The funny thing is that we don't even really know that the Bills are even interested.

If this is still going to happen, the holdup is probably finding someplace to send Oliver or Basham for a not-embarrassing low rate of return. Hey, I got the 100-page post without even trying.

Well that pretty much mirrors my position on it, so I totally get it.
