Lamar Jackson wants guarantees that exceed Watson contract
dpberr replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Out of any player on the market this year, I feel he will be the most disappointed by the interest he receives from teams. Like Aaron Rodgers-level disappointment as he fell to 24th in the 2005 draft. I don't think the Ravens are interested, and I suspect teams know about whatever health issues he has that have been kept under wraps. IMO, I think his body is toast insofar as it being able to handle the rigors of playing in the NFL. The offers will be heavy on incentives, light on anything guaranteed. -
I'd nominate Bryce Paup for his 1995 tour de force. 1995 DPOY 1995 Sacks leader (17.5) (4th highest total in the entire decade)

Long time Spurs fan through famine, feast and famine once again. Like the Bills, I follow the team, not the league. The game has gotten slower with a lot more jogging up/down the court and heaving up 3 pointers. I loathe that players can force trades like they do. Like the NFL, it'd be a better product with less teams.

Went with B. Robinson. Certainly not a practical pick. The game is pivoting back to more rush offense, and you can either draft a star RB or star OL to make the Bills rushing attack better. I opted for the star potential in Robinson. I'd rather draft the blue chip talent at RB than sign it in FA with a player with more mileage on the body.

The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
dpberr replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Seeing James O'Keefe getting forced out of Project Veritas for their episode on Pfizer tells you a couple things. Pfizer is protected by the uniparty. The information in that "episode" was likely 100% correct which is why it was A) buried in the media cycle and B) steps taken to prevent future curious inquires into Pfizer. Back to regularly scheduled programming on partisan politic stories. -
There are linebackers in this draft that I'd argue are better than T. Edmunds. I think some of them have better football instincts coming out of college than he did. My criticism of Edmunds is that he's 70% amazing athlete, 30% football player, and he lacks the football instincts that makes for a superstar linebacker. He plays with less hesitation now, years later as he understands the game more. Linebacker is a position where you want more instinct, more understanding of the game.

I don't think the Bills have any intention whatsoever of tagging/extending/signing Jordan Poyer. They've had the opportunity to work out a contract with him for some time, and you never got the impression the team was all that eager to do it.

I agree. I think the team likes the healthy JP, not so much the injured JP.

Hodgins or Gabe? Who will have the better career? (Poll)
dpberr replied to K D's topic in The Stadium Wall
It's about even IMO. Hodgins is a slow receiver but with sure hands/concentration. He can take advantage of soft zone schemes, but on man/man he'll be covered. He could turn into an excellent slot receiver, especially if he can be cagey like Beasley is and just get open. Davis has speed to beat man coverage but doesn't have the hands/concentration. Since you can't teach speed, you take that and hopefully teach the catching. -
Fetterman Depression
dpberr replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Off on this one. I predicted this in our PPP thread on the midterms several months ago. If you're interested, I'm sure you can go find it. On cue, ChiGoose also said I was wrong at that time about my prediction. Guess we'll see. -

While this isn't part of the "plan", the Democrats have every intention of replacing him in the Senate with his wife within the first year. With a Democrat governor in PA, it's easily done as easily said. -
They should try a non-music halftime show. I think the music acts are tired. 1. Magician 2. Comedy 3....Mime (always a hit) 4. NFL makes a 15 minute film like BMW Films has done with "The Hire" series 5. Airshow

I think there is off-field information with EB that resembles a large, dirty iceberg that will get exposed and it'll put everyone involved in a poor light. I don't buy the "well that's Andy Reid's offense" jazz - NFL teams would take a shot on EB if legal would let them. A guy who coordinates an offense that's won 2 Super Bowls isn't exactly the intern.

The NFL disappointed me with the crap field conditions. I don't know if it was the sod they grew or the painted logos, but somebody screwed that field up..
-
It was a stale performance. She was a surprising pick because she hadn't performed in years. Today, I think of her more for her clothing business.

Master class in coaching by the Chiefs. Just like the Bills discovered, play that soft ass zone against KC and you'll lose.

Disappointed. Needs some tweaking. Wary of OBD doubling down on flawed strategy out of allegiance to "process" and colleagues. "This is the way we've always done it" is the title of many tales of organizational failure. Instead of hiring friends, they need to hire the "arsonist" to pressure test their thought process and strategy. I would relish the Bills temporarily hiring a defensive coordinator that isn't friends with, or worked with anyone at OBD, and give them a hammer and let them contest every line of the Bills defensive situational strategy this offseason.

Tinkering around with safeties coaches suggests Frazier is back for next season. No matter what happens this offseason this will be the most disappointing news for Bills fans. It's disappointing that the Bills define a successful season as feasting on a largely mediocre league and getting punched in the face by the 1-2 decent teams come playoffs.

I'm surprised. Thought he'd wait another year for San Diego or perhaps Seattle. I'd be wary of working for ownership that made their money by selling goods for as cheap as possible and ruthlessly managing corporate overhead. Just like the Fords try to apply car manufacturing principles to football or the Haslems applying learned lessons from running truck stops, you'll see Wal-Mart folks try Wal-Mart strategies on their football team. With that crew, as long as the season meets profit targets, record may be irrelevant.

Notable Nexflix / Amazon / Premium Channel Series & Movies
dpberr replied to Heitz's topic in Off the Wall
The writing through the first three episodes has been excellent. The flashback scenes are well done and add a lot of color for a few minutes of screen time. -
No doubt the page is monitored for public sentiment by corporate. It's free business intelligence. Personnel: Rex Ryan, Doug Whaley, game announcers, great players fans like, ones they don't. Situations like the Matt Ariaza case, Damar Hamlin Sentiment topics: Who goes on the Wall of Fame, who shouldn't, tailgating, fan behavior (standing all game or not), new stadium, red helmets I think there's less interest in game tactics/strategy, as they feel they pay professionals a lot of money for that.

The Chiefs play their rookies. I bet there is quite a variance between the Bills/Chiefs rookie class snap counts.
