Proposals to change NFL OT rules on table but called ‘a big hill to climb’

‘“The reason we didn’t as a committee put one forth,” McKay said on a media conference call Friday, “is because we felt like with these two proposals there’s going to be the potential for an amendment on the floor if somebody wants to change either one of these, and these encompass the major discussion, which is should both teams be guaranteed a possession? Should there be consideration of doing it only in the postseason? I think that will be discussed by some teams.”’

Eight new Bills starters seem to be in offing

‘It’s clear Buffalo had no interest in re-signing its other free agents: defensive ends Jerry Hughes, Mario Addison and Bryan Cox and offensive lineman Bobby Hart. Sanders hasn’t decided whether he will retire.’

‘So, splash! He went all-in on Miller, who turns 33 today and is presumably one of those pass rushers who maintains his skills into his mid-30s. The window is open. They’re favored to win the Bowl on most sportsbooks. But the quarterback talent in the AFC keeps getting stronger. Beane had to do it.’

‘”It’s the fact that taxpayers are paying for this. So the Pegulas, the owners of the Bills, are reportedly asking nearly a Billion dollars in taxpayers’ funding from the state,” Miller says. “As well as Erie County to finance a stadium in Orchard Park. It’s estimated to be $1.4 billion, and the city of Buffalo is the third poorest city in the country.”‘

Carucci Take2: The Bills shouldn’t be concerned by Tyreek Hill’s move to AFC East

‘Still, it’s hard to imagine, with questions at quarterback (Tua Tagovailoa is unproven and could face stiff competition from newly acquired veteran Teddy Bridgewater) and with a rookie coach in Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins seeing anything close to a return commensurate with the five draft choices they gave the Chiefs for Hill, or the $72.2 million guaranteed they’re giving Hill.’

NFL committee approves $200M loan for Bills for stadium construction

‘”It’s not something that the Pegulas would eventually write a check to the other owners to pay back,” Carucci said. “it will come directly from that revenue. Obviously, the Pegulas will contribute their share to the total costs but this is an important element to allow the Bills ownership to get this done.”‘

Bills coaches give back at Buffalo City Mission
