May Day 10

It beats me. Also, the lack of any sort of virtual fly throughs, concept drawings, renderings, etc is really unprecedented. Actually its odd how little the public has seen of this stadium. It actually makes me hesitant to plunk any money down when they ask for it.

It seems to me like a no-brainer.

Yeah, I'm sure there will be plenty of swamps/backwoods stuff. Your going to have beaches, and I bet they have diversity in multiple cities and have a Miami, Tampa/pirate type theme/feel, and Orlando with Disney/theme park stuff and such. There will be plenty of fun.

It looks great. They really nailed the look of Florida and some cool looking weather too. Gameplay is important. GTA IV is probably the most realistic looking and physics GTA game and it is my least favorite of all the main GTA games by far. I like the idea of Florida, and from the trailer this looks outstanding... but I really love GTA based in San Andreas though due to the use of the different cities and vastly different landscapes like desert, forest, and mountain.

I get why they are mad and everything... But I think they got it right. No matter what they chose, people would complain. We probably have the best possible matchups. I welcome the expanded playoffs.

Team is floundering. Have only played a complete game a few times out of their 25 games. Coaching change is needed before it is too late.

They need to make an example of him and he needs to be fired from the Eagles and NFL. This is a really terrible precedent. For one, you got a starter on the other team ejected with zero cost to the home team. Second, this guy is now a household name and will be loved in Philadelphia and his actions will be glorified. I'm sure Chickies and Petes will name a sandwich after him called the Big Dom. That's not good. Others could be looking for their 15 minutes of fame. JAGs shouldn't and can't be going out and interacting with players like that. Especially an individual who is head of security, and is responsible from keeping civilians from doing stupid things like he just did.

I tuned out weeks ago. They stink and continue to empower terrible management Nobody in the organization hates to lose. It's all about communication and sticking with some nonsensical plan

Yeah, I took note of that too. I thought there was a chance the team could have quit following the Denver game, 12 men, and the Dorsey firing. Say what you will, but they came to play vs the Jets and Eagles. I dont think its the end of the world if McDermott stays. This ownership can and will do a lot worse.

I believe this a lot more than Florio shooting from the hip. I think this team would have to endure a colossal melt-down in the locker room and on the field the final 5 games in order for any coaching change to be considered

So what I get out of it is.... if he gets suspended by the NFL, the Bills dont have to pay him for 2024 and can release him and be off the hook? Sounds too 'good' to be true

That sounds like it would save money for this year (next?) but isnt clear about the rest

They need to have a terrific draft

This was probably the worst contract in the nfl. Much worse now.

It was really bad. The opportunity cost in getting a player(s) to really put this team over the hump (like a 1B receiver) has been crippling You wonder though if they had that money, whether or not Edmunds would currently be our ILB

Hopefully there is some kind of conduct relief in his contract if it turns out he committed this act. Miller seems like a well put together guy. Id be surprised if he stooped to something like this, but passion and broads will get ya. This Miller signing has been a huge albatross for this team and has been a huge factor in holding them back from the next step.

The LaFontaine move was actually his one really good decision with the Sabres. LaFontaine had Craig Patrick behind the scenes advising him, and ownership was to be completely cut off from hockey. What I hear is that Kim Pegula was constantly crossing beams with LaFontaine's duties and it resulted in a blow up after only a few months. With all his difficulty with the Sabres, I thought for sure Pegula would have someone on staff during the Bills purchase process who would be planning and coordinating. Once the purchase was complete, the Bills would be restructured to finally join the 21st century. Instead he was 'impressed' Russ Brandon knew his way around the building and he gave him even more authority. What a rube.

It happened a bit last year too. Jets and Minnesota come to mind. Detroit's offense was an unstoppable force at the end too. If allen didn't hit that miracle pass to diggs, the lions were winning

If I am Pegula, I might do some of the things in the OP. I would already be conducting an extensive search for an innovative offensive-minded up-and-coming coach, enlisting the help of industry experts. I would be monitoring the current team and McDermott though. They way they are playing lately is a definite plus for McDermott staying. I would also probably have very confidential talks with Beane and Allen about coaching and the path forward. However, Pegula has never done anything the way I would have done it. After his horrific struggles with Sabres ownership, I had figured he would have a team of people advising him through the Bills purchase and there would be a major overhaul. Instead Russ Brandon "impressed" him and he was elevated to continue running the franchise. He has resisted getting experienced help on the hockey side since day 1. My guess is that McDermott is very safe, as long as the team doesn't quit over the next 5 games, the franchise gets embarrassed, and Pegula's hand is forced. To be honest, with Pegula's overall track record, I don't trust him to do any better than McDermott.

I think this is a great class if you are a team with a lower/middle pick. It is a deep class, but I don't see any blue chip top, cant miss QBs now that the luster has fallen off of Williams. . Actually reminds me a bit of the Darnold/Mayfield/Allen/Jackson/Rudolph/Rosen class. I think it will come down to who gets selected into good situations, and they get insulated with good coaching and an offense that puts him in a position to succeed.

13 Seconds Minnesota game Houston playoff The Rodgers game

Yeah, I think it's better for the kicker to call a time out in that situation. They did him a favor

Analytics

But with maybe double or triple the resources they can compete a bit more? Not really clear on the economics and landscape of ncaa basketball. Football seems like a hapless landscape for Mac teams now. The Mac has essentially been turned into 1-aa now for football. If they can churn out a basketball team who is consistently around the top 30, and maybe making a good run every now and then, and have no football, I'd take that. Could probably build a local, non-student fan base too as we don't have a pro team
