  1. Big deal--they lost to AZ, NE and Indy in December with Watt. Zero chance they beat the Bills in the playoffs with Watts. They aren't getting to SB with Tomlin and that QB room.
  2. one of the best gets the most at his position? This board should welcome such, given the incessant threads started for every QB extension/contract as though each one is shocking news...
  3. then you get that his production fell off a cliff and It wasn't for lack of targets from a new coordinator.
  4. so what? fans accurately described him as a bad QB. $7.5 million for that?
  5. lol Steelers only in Namibia. Packers only in Burkina Faso....
  6. Bills are paying over 30 million for an over 30 guy who's production dropped off a cliff.....and he isn't even on the roster anymore. Take THAT, Dolphins front office!!
  7. jeez, they are giving out gold medals for "leverage" now? they should have stopped at mixed team judo......
  8. Huh? Morris caught 2 passes last year on 3 targets with 1 drop. Also, 0 broken tackles.
  9. lol, what has this guy "been through"? he's been paid millions and millions for being among the worst at his chosen profession. Oh the humanity....
  10. not exactly Kong v Godzilla....
  11. 20 yard line, but yes they don't have the fair catch option any more.
  12. is "pizza" all sports? just football? just pro football? just NFL branded pro football? One large corporation does not own football teams. They are actually called "franchises"--like, say a national pizza chain has franchisees. Is there a local pizza brand affiliate that has an agreement with the national company where the local affiliate has to provide free pizza every Sunday/sometimes Monday night and Thursday too? Do they also force free local pizza eaters to buy their special menu pizza package to get even MORE pizza? no. they do not. this is a failure of comparison on every level.
  13. this should make returns even more futile. wasn't the average last night short of the 25? just take touchback to the 30..
  14. that's not how it works. he was their top pick and 32nd overall. that's how he will be judged. and if Worthy has a much more productive year, Keon will face that comparison as well
  15. It doesn't matter if the two football leagues play at different times--or how many viewers watch.. you can only drive one car at a time, though there are other competing brands to the one that you bought or rented. Both leagues compete for your pro football devoted discretionary income. Revenue sharing isn't off-topic, it destroys your argument. "Government restrictions" would end the NFL as we know it. The league became wildly successful because of revenue sharing. Why pretend otherwise? Also, what "power" did the NFL viewing public lose to the NFL? What are the damages? Fans decided to pay more for more NFL content that they didn't need in order to still get a lot of NFL football in their homes. I've never gotten the ticket because I don't need what it offers. If I change my mind, I will pay extra for extra service. How is the NFL acting like a monopoly by selling this product? Aren't the Yankees acting as a monopoly by owning the broadcast rights to its own games (and the Brooklyn Nets) on its own network that fans have to pay for? Also right in town, MSG is the broadcaster of Knicks, Rangers, Sabres, Devils, Islanders....better pony up if you want to watch those teams. Conversely, the NFL is available on several broadcast networks for free, as well as cable and streamers and Sunday ticket. Many ways to watch. How is that a monopoly?
  16. The NFL enjoys legal exemption from most anti-trust rules. Plus, with the "success" of the UFL, there is no monopoly on pro football. Have you or anyone calling out the NFL over how they make money considered if, as in MLB, teams have their own networks to broadcast their games? Well, this is easy....with no network/streaming contracts league wide, there is no broadcast rights revenue sharing. No revenue sharing, no Buffalo Bills--relatively few would pay for a "Bills Network" cable or streaming network. Don't like getting most games on network TV or some cheap cable or streamer? Go buy the Sunday Ticket. Think it's too expensive for what you get? Don't buy it. This is the strangest case ever. Who, as a class, was harmed by agreeing to pay the asking price for a product they had already judged worth what they paid? Who, other than the NFL, would be selling NFL Sunday Ticket? How were these consumers mislead?
  17. Ralph Wilson isn't walking through that league office door any time soon...
  18. Josh spent half the time in a school at a middling conference. Milton was getting trained at Michigan and Tenn. He's still not ready.
  19. because this is when the NFL filed a post trial motion that the plaintiffs did not prove their case.
  20. why should any of those be true? The judge clearly stares where the jury went awry of his instructions.
  21. we gotta decide which of these guys gets signed 2 years from now?
  22. true, but 6 years is a lot of time spent in top programs learning the game and putting those tools to use. the sum of all that was pretty bad football...
  23. McD kept Peterman away form the starters in preseason games because he had already decided he wouldn't start Josh week 1 and he didn't want everyone to see how bad Peterman is. McClappy figured this out by halftime...
  24. so could Kyle Boler (70 yards). Milton was an awful QB last year. Look out? The guy was a college QB for 6 years. 5300 yards, 37 TDs.
  25. $11 million is almost half the entire league player salary total lol... Spring football league owners fleecing sponsors in their inaugural season? who would have thought??
