Because the Bills always win the off season.

I see Cardale on the roster, and the Bills taking a shot drafting a QB in the later rounds to see if lightning strikes as he plays on the practice squad. EJ will likely get picked up to go to somebody's camp. No clue if he will make it or not. Maybe as a cheap backup somewhere or merely camp fodder.

Unlikely in my opinion. With his money guaranteed he doesn't have to worry about that any more so he can play hard trying to get a ring. If he gets hurt now, he still gets his money.

Sure looks like Texans now. Osweiler dealt to the Browns makes that door wide open.

Not "absolutely ludicrous at every level." at all. It is not possible to you that McDermott told the Pegulas that given the current QB situation he wanted to keep TT and the Pegulas told Whaley to make it so? I can see that as a definite possibility. But if true, so much for the non-meddling owners.

My only concern is kids (including the 15 year old in the OP) not just using them, but feeling they NEED to use them in order to keep up with the others in their sport. You can't compare steroid use of soccer players to that of tackle football players. The goals of the players in the two sports are completely different. Soccer players want some more strength and endurance, they don't want to become juiced up super humans like tackle football players do.

Because Glennon's agent is trying to bump his market value doesn't make it so. Also, because one player is overpaid doesn't change if another player is or not.

I had lunch with a season ticket holder today and he said the cost for his seasons in the 300's was exactly the same as it was last year.

Like I said about the parking above, someone has to pay for the remaining years of Rex's contract. So let me see if I have this straight ... season ticket holders are now paying face value for their tickets and also face value for the preseason games?

A valid point. Beer is after all, bi-directional Well yeah. They sit half the game anyway. Are you suggesting they are not fit enough to play half a game without extra commercial breaks?

I get your point of view as well. If I was at a party for example, the commercials extending the game and allowing me to socialize (or get a beer ) without paying attention every second would be a good thing. There is probably a happy medium somewhere.

I'm not used to it. I watch without them almost all of the time and love it. The only downside is when I do watch live, it's like nails on a chalkboard.

A valiant effort However this is the NFL we are talking about. Even if they added on field advertising (I'm actually shocked they haven't gone to the virtual on field advertising yet on TV), they wouldn't cut out or even reduce TV commercials. More money, more money ...

Hey someone has to pay for the remaining years of Rex's contract.

Not when you look at the teams that need QBs and the shortage of decent ones out there as well as the ones coming out. For QBs, it is a sellers market.

No need for an off season strategy. The Bills always win the off season. It's in season where they struggle

Sabres are a bit closer in my opinion. However draft picks can have an immediate impact in football much more so than in the NHL. My personal opinion is neither are likely to make the playoffs for a few more years, however if lightning strikes and the Bills end up with some good players out of the draft and end up one way or another with a decent QB they could cinderella their way in.

If by 10X you mean people get 10X drunker then that may be understated. At football games it is clearly significantly more than that. If that and acceptance of bar fights is your main criteria, then I see your point. But comparing food (except maybe some bar foods) and theater to Boston, really. Look, as small cities go, Buffalo is a lot of fun don't get me wrong. And I'd rather tailgate with the people of Buffalo than Boston, or anywhere in New England for that matter.But Buffalo, in most ways, can't compare to any major city. No matter how much you have emotionally invested in it. Doesn't mean it is a bad place. And it's actually about 75 - 80 minutes

Wow. Off the top of my head they have NFL, NHL, NBA, and MLB teams. Fantastic seafood. Considerably more and better dining if you prefer that to wings, pizza, and beef on weck. Very good theater. More historical sites than I can count. Museums etc. Countless bars (high and low brow), clubs, high end shopping ... I mean Buffalo is not without it's blue collar charms, but Boston is a big city on the coast for Pete's sake.

Boy how true is that. Except I took that class in college

I don't think there is cause for worry. If you are Tony Romo, are you going to Buffalo?

Some consider that to be a good thing and a badge of honor as it appears you do. While others see it as a big part of the problem and a badge of shame. Small party with all Bills fans is how I watched in the 90's. Was great .... well except for the games.

For normal TV shows I suspect the ratings are relevant. But for special events like the SB not so much. So many parties and bars for example that have it on that I don't think you can get an meaningful rating.

Not unreasonable to expect your QB to be smart enough to throw the ball away rather than take a brain damaged sack in that situation either though. He took the bullet for his QB IMO.

Confidence is thinking it. Stating it publicly is being a douche.
