  1. When the league closed NFL Europe in 05 less than 20 percent of US homes had the NFL Network. Now it's up to 62 percent and it's a favorite channel of any football fan. It would be much easier to stay informed about player story lines of NFL Europe teams. Who wouldn't want to check in on a few games to see how the Bills allocated players are doing during the long offseason. The league has been missing opportunities to develop new stars. The time is right to bring it back.

  2. Instead of eliminating kicks make it easier to block them such as by removing all rules against leveraging your teammate for height and/or requiring the kick to be made within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage. That will put the fun and strategy back into kicks.

  3. I'd give one of our assistants a shot for a year and see how it goes. Keep the scheme, the players like it. The fans like it (the fans that enjoy sacks and pressure). Can't hurt. If EJ is our QB, we're at least a year away from the playoffs (unless a miracle happens), why not give them a chance. Keep the same D and hope the chosen DC was in the head of pettine and soaked up enough knowledge of the system to run it.

     

    Won't Pettine be taking all the assistants?

    Fair enough, but you might as well round it out with Otto Graham then. He took the Browns to 10 straight championship games and won 7 of them. That's crazy.

     

    Graham's QB Rating is also absolutely sick for his time. You are talking about when tackles could not extend arms and night train lane was free to behead your receiver before the ball got there.

  5. This experiment - hiring the dynasty caretaker - was tried when seifert coached the panthers. He took them from the playoffs right to 1-15 in about 2 years. Caldwells most impressive accomplishment was with the ravens as OC in 2012. But their performance in 13 - essentially being unable to run the ball at all with the strongest armed QB in the league keeping the safeties deep - was equally unimpressive.

    You tell me. You're the one with the expert analysis on his only bad game of the year. Where were you when he destroyed every other team he played this year? Biding your time for him to look bad so you can prove you knew it all along?

     

    What is there to analyze - it does not take any analysis to see it takes forever for the ball to get out of Winston's throwing hand. A lot of bills fans do not watch a lot of college until the pre draft videos come out.

  7. Was not impressed with Winston first time I saw his highlight video. S-L-O-W release. Takes forever for him to set and throw. Manual has issues but seems to have more NFL upside with his compact throwing motion and effortless downfield throwing ability.

    Too bad we didn't pony up a little bit to keep Rhinehart. But I guess Rhinehart isn't losing too much sleep over it, relaxing in his beachfront condo in La Jolla, getting ready to play in the playoffs this weekend...

  9. In this century the answer is David Carr. Going back a few decades the answer is Ken O'Brien. Always had a huge sack percentage which does not show up in the QB ratings, and so they let him start for 9 years. Had a good arm but pretty much had no ability to sense the pocket collapsing. Always felt the Bills had the advantage against the Jets because of O'Brien's limitations.
