Odd - knowing where the ball should go, and actually getting it there? Who would've thought....
Height, arm strength, speed all open up more windows for a qb and coach, but if you can't chose the right one or hit it- it doesn't much matter.

Good post. I think right now you'd have to put coughlin ahead of rex/smith/mccarthy..of course, 10 yrs from now, who knows. Coughlin took the expansion Jaguars to the AFC championship game twice i think, and won the SB w/the Giants and has over 130 wins...imo, he's definitely within top 5 currently
I think a lot of people see a couple down years and forgot all the really good years that earned him the chance to weather the storms. Just cause some of the young guns haven't had their trouble yet, doesn't mean they won't. I'll guess one of them will be better than coughlin in the long run but who knows right now.

#1- Belichick
#2- Reid
#3- Tomlin
#4- Peyton
#5- Coughlin
Even if he doesn't win a SB, Reid will have HOF worthy numbers as a head coach when it's all said and done. McCarthy won the super bowl this past year, but I wouldn't just go ahead and put him ahead of Reid. IMHO.
I dunno about coughlin but roughly...
McCarthy has a chance to be on that cusp.
Dont like mike smith - pull the Clements fumble and the Hartley missed chip shot and the falcons were only a wild card team. Doesn't have the track record to ignore this.
Rex needs more time- can his loudmouth strategy actually work long-term?
1- belichek, easy
2- tomlin - anyone argue?
3- Payton... SB win, built a team from scratch, distractions galore in the city- 2 NFC championship games in a couple years. Needs to do better with balanced consistent game plans.
4-Reid - can't win the big game? We only know this cause he coaches his teams into the big games EVERY year. He does something right.
5- I could see coughlin. He's had a couple down years but several good years. Of the Rex/smith/McCarthy.... Which will keep winning, which will trail off... I'm not sure but TC is probably right in the middle of that group.
Well, people are talking about them now. Not very positively, though.
Never won a playoff game, and VERY lucky this year... Above average but not elite.
The Hartley 29 yard miss?
The Clements pickoff and fumble?
The no call on that PI to win the ravens game?
Still good but... Not among the best.

Just an FYI- houstons secondary was among the worst of not just the year, but probably up there with the worst I've seen in the last handful of years.

I don't see that as being within the rules of how trades are done. What if those players are gone? What if they change their mind and you are stuck with Peterson? If that is how things get conducted on draft day, why don't they just throw darts at a board of names?
Agreed. It's too big a deal to do on a handshake. Like I said- what if vick gets arrested, Peterson hurt, something else? Suddenly one side can back out - no consequence. In fact- at that point following through would likely be penalized as this is illegal to begin with.
-
Can't Andrew Luck decide he wants to be a multi-millionaire now & join any NFL team he wants?? Is this illegal like the draft is now?? The players crossed the lIne, why can't the college boys ?
If I was a top prospect & decided that playing for the Panthers didn't fit my needs, why couldn't I find the team that was best for my situation all the while getting rich doing so ? I'm one to wonder why the established systems are in place & how to challenge them, live strong.
Man - you just through the entire NFL upside down. And to think we were all here to witness it.

Must have been stealing to feed his family- with the work stoppage and all.
Which owner will be first to be arrested?

First date we went to a wine and tapas bar in philly(no way would i use a certificate on a first date)....2nd date i did tell her in advance i had a deal certificate to a new wine bar on south street and we should check it out...best thing about it is they took the certificate that i showed them on my phone and didn't use the number, so my account still shows it as active. We went to lunch last week, just a random place we picked while walking through the time...gonna meet her tomorrow afternoon for lunch, again in her area(south jersey), I have a certificate for a place there but haven't definitely decided on the place. I am gonna call her tonite to confirm details...we'll see, its good til august. I also have one for a brunch at a place out my way, and also 2 passes to a wine trail that i have to use by end of april....that one i have no problem using. Just not sure if using them alot comes off as creepy or cheap, but she has indicated she is frugal...almost to a fault..
yes she is very hot...way hotter than I deserve!
I was kind of hoping you would chime in! Thanks!
I'd agree with your instincts- probably not on a first date (although if prefaced, it's not a disaster) and probably not more than every few dates. If it's something she's into then cool, but I would be careful about it coming off as planning a relationship around specials instead of a cool coincidence that lines up with wanting to share time with her. IE still plan dates to share things that really interest you, going to favorite places, and not just what's in groupon the week before.
It seems like your doing this, so no worries. I'd just be wary of using them all the time.

I think him being 42-7 had more to do with the fact that TCU had the #1 rated college defense for 3 straight years. That certainly helps your QB when you're playing with the lead. And his completion percentage isn't that impressive when you take into consideration the gimmick offense TCU ran. There were a ton of screens and dump offs there. It's not like he was making a ton of NFL reads or throws. The guy was more of a game manager in my opinion. And his physical attributes are very average. Physically, he's no better than Fitz and I don't think he has better intangibles either.
Shhh he has good stats and I never saw him play. We need him in the second, or were fools.

Alot of the QBs are getting compared to former bills QBs
Ryan Mallett- Drew Bleadsoe
Christian Ponder- Trent Edwards
Jake Locker- JP Losman
I have also heard alot of people comparing players like Blaine Gabbert to Rob Johnson and Andy Dalton to Fitzpatrick. I find this interesting. The only QBs avoiding this are Cam and Kaepernick. Maybe we do need something new
I'd guess outside of mallet and locker, most of that is just when discussing the bills specifically. A trent Edwards, comparison means little to the average Seahawks fan for instance.
Also just because one type failed with different players coaches and schemes, doesn't mean they would with this situation. For all we know, Trent with gailey from the start could be great.

Walk across any college campus from a SUNY to Harvard and you'll quickly see those smoking cigarettes are at little risk of becoming a social pariah. It's absolutely amazing how many kids still smoke.
Agreed. It's a much larger percentage than you'd ever guess.
But it's much harder to play football at 14 without parental support or knowledge.

The new uniforms will probably debut when we pick our 1st player at the draft.
I think it's sitting to be determined right now. If the CBA is doing ok progress I see the draft area on the calendar. If things are going to be on the shelf longterm, they may wait.
The draft would be great but without players in them for months it would lose some of it's juice. I think if you expect some camps in may/June, free agency starting soon then it happens around the draft.
Also-Have to remember it's the helmet, and pants too though so it'd have to be a seperate event for the whole shebang.

I think you'll see a less dramatic effect. Some rule changes, and I dont doubt the 2023-2028 draft classes will be a little weak. Parents will pull youngsters away from the sport until there are new protections in place. Some of those multi sport athletes like drew brees will end up in baseball or one of the 2-3 others he had a chance to compete at a prolevel in potentially. The average fan will hardly notice, because the key to the NFL isn't that extra fraction of a second, it's the parity. As long as it effects the league and not just a single team, it'll be very hard to hurt the sport.
-
Honestly, based on some past showings, I'll take accurate and easy from him. Early in the offseason he struggled with that. I'm not saying draft him but I'd love to see most of these guys succeed. I still think the baseball career has been part of his issue that's gone relatively unmentioned
-
Prove it.
That's the NFL max, and there is absolutely no reason to do less? In fact most would probably do 100 if you let them.

Did Jauron and crew really bring in 30 prospects? I only remember a few each year, in fact I was just thinking how refreshing it is that Buddy and the boys are bringing in all of the top dogs!
Regardless, I trust Buddy / Chan's due diligence more than Russ / Dick's
Turns out every single team in the league brings in 30. Probably making a bigger impact as it's top 5 names this year.
-
What a difference between the old regime & the new regime with a bit of Southern exposure added into the mix .
The Southern part being Buddy Nix & Chan Gailey "Get R Done" these guys are bringing in 30 players for interviews according to what Buddy has said on BB.com . Talk about leaving no stone unturned .
I don't remember hearing of only a hand full of guys coming in at draft time under DJ's watch .
I don't know about Y'all but i'm likin the difference in the way things are getting done & billieve that we are going to see a real change in our Bills this year and the years to come with Buddy & Chan in the mix !!
GET -R- DONE GO BILLS !!!!!!
Yea every team does like 30 of these- even dicky j's
Maybe it was you that wasn't up to speed at the time. Those were pretty forgettable seasons.

But realistically who thought Brady had the talent level until he had proved it, multiple times even? Sometimes it's just about putting in the work and getting the right chance...
I'd venture the coach that kept him on the roster as a 4th qb had some idea. Or the one that after keeping him as a 4th qb made him primary backup, and then starter a month in to year number two.
Obviously no one expected MVP of the decade, but someone seemed to have an idea he would be good from the start.
-
I'm not doubting you, but I didn't see anywhere that he ran a 4.59 40...that would be 0.11 faster than his time at the combine...
.11 is not as huge as it sounds. A misstep, or different type of track accounts for that. It's also like .2 slower than he allegedly ran as a sophomore. Not using this comment as praise or a knock, just throwing out how easily it can happen.
-
Even if it was true, I'm less than offended. You have so much info and contact- prodays, combine, in season scouting, film, visits... A HC and GM can't be everywhere at all times.
Also I find this set of visits and proday particularly non-offensive for this "offense." gailey and nix worked with ponder at the senior bowl, your DC, wanny and modrak can work with the other guys, and your coach and GM can see what are probably the handful of guys that are hardest to judge (huge values, or huge busts) in person...
Of course all that's for nothing as the report was totally made up.

Did the situation "escalate?"
There's NO WAY that this was "abnormal" behavior for her. NOT A CHANCE. Even when she's sober, she's MORE THAN LIKELY someone who resorts to violence, threatens people with violence, throws things, etc etc.
Her and everyone she'll cross paths with later in life now has this guy to thank for teaching her that that kind of behavior is UNACCEPTABLE.
There comes a time when someone has to do the unpopular, unsavory thing. Up to that point society had passed the buck on her behavior, snarled "someone should teach her a lesson" under its breath and never did anything to 'correct' this bull in a china shop, this person who's endangering herself AND being a complete nuisance to everyone around her.
I WILL, however, concede that the same lesson could have been taught with an open palm to the cheek. A fist to the chin? That was just dumb on his part. Can he afford the hospital bill for a broken jaw? The missing teeth? The potential concussion? If there was a misstep in this scenario, it was his execution.
I will say again, I don't think this taught her a thing.
Either it was a rarity in her life, which she would likely regret no matter what
Or it was commonplace, and I'd guess waking up sore and unsure of what happened the night before is equally commonplace. Regardless, I'd guess she's faced consequence for her actions before, and I don't think a fist to the jaw is going to be a wake up call, but another in a long line of "OMG, I was just out having fun and you will not believe what some jerk did to me" assuming she has any idea what happened when she wakes up.
Contrary to your belief of justice being served and the world being a better place for it, I find it far more likely that this dude took a big chance with both his and her future for little to no real gain. Even the slap you suggest - I don't see the hand to the face being a life altering wake up call.

I am not in any way supporting what he did. AGAIN, I AM NOT IN ANY WAY ATTEMPTING TO DEFEND HIS ACTIONS.
I would argue he did the exact opposite. He completely de-escalated the situation. It was over when he hit her.
BTW, she looked kind of hot.
I guess for me, the worst case was someone gets punched in the jaw, and goes down. The only person that was happening to was her, as I didn't see her putting anyone on the ground. He brought it to that highest point of damage and volatility.
It went from nuisance to possible serious damage based on his choice to react that way.
Definitely not excusing her nonsense, but I see his swing as a more explosive action than her hitting people- even if his was reactionary.
Not going to totally kill the guy over it but throwing the morals of the situation of a man hitting a woman aside, it's hard to argue he made a good life choice in response to her harassment. Frankly he shouldn't be shocked if he ends up in cuffs, or fighting a friend who happens to show up. To me that's all escalation. You have to look at the possible outcomes and a number of them are much worse for both him and her once he swings.

here's the problem, the way i see it with a couple of what ifs?
-- what if you had 12 requests like this a year, and you were able to meet 11 of them, does that make you a bad person, or are you obligated to hit all 12?
-- when does this "entitlement" end? cancer, strep thoat, lyme disease? and does it make a difference that the person is 6? what if this were a 42 year old?
-- how/why did this story get out, to embarrass this celebrity? is it also a shot across the bow to all personalities that if people don't get their wish, the celebrities shall pay the price?
-- how much does the contessa contribute to charitable causes? if the answer is dunno, then it's hard to judge. if none, ok, there's a bit of a moral problem. if a lot, and she doesn't publicize it, then why must she be shamed like this. still, we don't know.
judge however you like. i don't know enough of what the circumstances are to make that decision.
