HalftimeAdjustment

For all of the people who say "No safety is worth $10M/year", do you believe that: A) No NFL franchise will actually pay Byrd $10M/year, so the Bills would be suckers to do so; OR B) Another NFL franchise will actually pay Byrd $10M/year, and that franchise has a less effective front office than the Buffalo Bills, and that franchise will fare worse long-term than Buffalo? I'm curious if people will state their positions now. Obviously if you believe Byrd IS worth $10M/year, there is no need to take a position on this question.

So it's pretty sad that if an additional playoff spot had been in effect every year from 2000 onward... we still wouldn't have made the playoffs. In 2004 we would have tied for the last spot but presumably lost the tiebreaker.

Well, the Giants owner ruled out Green Bay as a location... but that was the "only" place he ruled out. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000318433/article/new-york-giants-owner-rules-out-green-bay-super-bowl So, I guess we need a new stadium and mega hotel in Buffalo to land a Super Bowl in say 12-15 years. Indianapolis did a lot of hotel building in the run up to their SB hosting. If you don't think this is a "lure" that will be used to try for a new stadium in cold weather cities... I don't know what is.

Wonder if the silence has anything to do with this. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/11/05/report-coaches-wanted-incognito-to-toughen-up-martin/related/

I tried but failed to sort of show a sliding scale of badness. I should have put TO on the far right (below Haynesworth). He didn't hurt people but he was perceived as a big enough "jerk" to become toxic to most team through his statements and behavior. Not suggesting TO and OJ should be grouped.

This is true. Lawrence Phillips has Incognito beat. So does OJ Simpson. And Jovan Belcher... I could go on. However, Incognito may have the edge on, for example, Terell Owens or Albert Haynesworth.

Nickell's size was an issue there.

That last one was blatant face to face. League will fine. Earlier one was glancing.

Eli Manning. Just before the Giants got hot and won the Superbowl (first time), I declared something to the effect of "Lets face it, he sucks." Oops.

He's definitely getting to the Wall. Compare to any other player during his time here.

Time to accept it. The Bills are just not very good.

Can anyone say that arranging the QBs differently on the roster or signing a different re-tread would have resulted in any difference in the W-L record? Possibly the Cleveland game... maybe, maybe not.

Do we get an OT thread?

Will be a catch on replay but then holding.

Whatever happens... Thad is more accurate deep than EJ.

Too bad his presence lulled everyone else to sleep. "We can rest easy and put this in out punter's hands."

How about a weak looking 3-and-out instead? Time to see Moorman again.

He's not helping his trade or contract value.

It was a mistake playing Gilmore.

It's about to get ugly.

Whatever we changed on D this week... change it back.

I don't know if it is a career season, but it is a good season and remarkable for the oldest RB in the NFL. And this offense does not use him receiving as much as the last 2 coaches. Imagine if we had a better LG?

If EJ was not coming back this year, I would be all for bringing the circus to town. I would rather watch something interesting as a fan, and this would be interesting. Forget about whether it makes sense, it would be entertaining and make the Bills relevant. However... with EJ slated to return, you cannot bring in a big ego/head case. This is a developmental year and he needs to play after his 3-8 weeks off(hopefully the lower end). So let's go with whomever has the lowest tendency to throw INTs, but will still be benched when EJ returns.

An initial diagnosis and MRI can be very far off. I know someone who had a torn ACL and 2 meniscus tears - initial diagnosis was "probably just bruised, ice it". MRI told a different story. By the way, it was a very experienced orthopedic surgeon with a knee specialty who was, at the time, an NFL team physician. So, the MRI will tell the tale, until then, just hope for the best.

Who got the taunt penalty?
