It’s a nearly meaningless stat. Mac Jones: 71.1 % completion percentage for the year.

I’d have to actually see the contract, but Gruden likely had plenty of leverage. Things would have been worse for the Raiders if he had decided to tough it out, like Urban Meyer seems to be doing. And my point is, his “resignation” was negotiated; he didn’t just walk into Davis’s office and say “I quit.”

It will never be public, but it’s highly unlikely that Gruden just resigned without being paid a significant amount of the money that would have been due. If the Raiders had fired him, he probably would have had a good argument that they were on the hook for the remaining six years. And the way the team is going this year, Gruden would have been on the hot seat anyway after the season. So Davis probably ends up saving a lot of $, even though he’s paying out $10 million or so in “severance”.

I’m pretty sure Gruden will see a fair amount of the money remaining on his current contract with the Raiders. They probably cut a deal, and agreed to pay him out through 2023 (or something like that) if he would agree to “resign”.

Understood. I just wanted to make clear that those are two totally different animals.

Social media-yes. Email history-no.

But social media is entirely different than private emails. Anytime you post something on social media, you’re posting it to the world (although some social media accounts are “private”, i.e. open only to a select group.)….much greater expectation of privacy associated with an email sent to one person, especially if that email is sent from your own private email account, rather than your employer’s account. It is most certainly not the norm for a potential employer to ask to see someone’s private emails. That just doesn’t happen, for a lot of reasons.

I clicked on the link and ended up having to listen to 30 more seconds of Collinsworth…still worth it though.

No love for Tyler Bass, arguably Beane's best pick last year? If the Bills get to and win the Super Bowl, I can pretty much guaranty Bass will have played a very significant part...

Initial line was Bills -3.5; it's already up to Bills -5.5. Word is getting around...

I didn't say Poyer deserved to be penalized. Just that it was the kind of hit that for the last 10 years I've waited in vain for the Bills to lay on Gronk, Edelman and/or Jarvis Landry...

You forgot to mention Poyer’s nasty hit on Kelce, which was worth a dozen 15-yard penalties.

Baldy’s Breakdowns are absolutely awesome this morning

Very old news

Or the phantom roughing call on Oliver that led to a KC touchdown

I don’t think Kelce is well-liked…I saw Poyer get quite a few high-fives after that hit…

Best game of Josh Allen’s career, and that’s saying a lot.

It never has been. Since Thurman left

They are doing everything in their power to keep the Chiefs in the game. The Bills’ offense is as well.

We’ve all seen this too many times. You give Brady or Mahomes an extra possession or two a game and it’s very hard to beat them.

Absolutely disgraceful call

Another blown opportunity

This is going to be a wild one, folks.

Only white jerseys can hold

No hold on Rousseau?
