KJ, always good hearing from you and yes, good points. Frazier has been selective and declined if I remember correctly the Texans interview before Cully was hired. He’s going to have to accept dumpster fires if he wants a chance. He reminds me a little, but not as good of Monte Kiffin from the Bucs. Back then, when Gruden was hired the Glaziers made him one of the highest paid DC’s as they needed him to keep the defense rolling, but at his age, no team gave him serious consideration for the HC. I was here back then and remember him getting passed over. Some guys are pudge on holes into certain assistant positions. Scar neck is known for being an awesome O Line coach, but never heard of him in any serious OC interviews. I don’t seriously think 13 seconds ruined him. It’s his body of work. He’s respected as a good DC, but he is most likely overshadowed by McD having an impeccable reputation before as a DC being a Jimmy Johnson descendant (the Philly one). In addition, his first go around at MN was not exactly stellar. Those points are more heavily weighed than a myopic 13 seconds. Besides by that game most HC we’re hired or in 2nd or 3rd interviews. He probably doesn’t like to get an interview simply because of the Rooney rule, but will never get serious consideration as he wants to be considered on his merits as applaud him for his previous comments. I still think he’s a good DC, and we had the #1 defense and a top 4 defense as an aggregate since here, and that is with last year an avg D Line at best. He has a harder schedule with KC, Rams, the NFCN, and AFCN, and TN this year. We also made serious upgrades to the D Line and Kyler Elam over Wallace. I’m hopeful he gets the most out of this talent and repeats the top 2 position.

Are we talking about Jordan Phillips as we didn’t draft him, but we placed a value on him and he received more from AZ, just like we needed him from Miami and we outbid Miami. If another Phillips, it escapes me. The point Eball is making on we place a value on these guys, let them prove themselves in their rookie contract, we place a value on a guy and if outbid, it’s why GM’s make $, because they have to make hard decisions. Wyatt Teller is a good example of a miss, I’m sure Beane would’ve liked a do over, but hindsight is 20/20. We’ve also had it right more than enough times. During the last cycle, we’ve extended Hyde, Poyer (1st and 2nd team All pros after their last extensions, Tre, and on and on. Again it’s a judgment call and armchair AB’s always think they are the smartest guys in the room when they don’t have the consequences on the line.

Good brother. When I get closer I’ll let you know if we’re headed to Hammers Lot to commiserate with another TBD. Dan

I hope you guys have fun as my sister works for the Sabres, but the NHL never took for me. I wish the Packers game was earlier in the season as this blood has thinned over the 2nd half of my life. I went to the Redskins game in early November in 2019 and although around 40 degrees, the 45-50 mph winds taught me I’m not taking time off of work, flying four of us (my 3 kids and myself) to there tickets, etc. is not worth freezing my petute off. I’ll get my fill of Mighty Taco, Blasdell Pizza, and Beef on Weck for the Steelers weekend. You guys have fun as many of you it’s only a long distance drive for you. I at least get to pile up the kids in my Dad’s home for free, and a borrowed car from the family.

Agreed on each point. Oliver should see brighter days in year 4 now with Settle, J. Phillips, Jackson, Von, and an emerging GROOT. He’ll never have the best stats as McD runs that rotation to keep everyone fresh. So it’s harder to do, but reading between the lines of what he does when on the field is the best way to evaluate him. I think he’s going to have a breakout year. The problem is too many people and analysts compared Oliver to the best DT in football in Donald. That was unfair to Oliver as it sets up him to look as a failure.

But, but in another thread we’re questioning Beane’s decisions (or should I say dissecting every decision in the last four years). The silliness if hyper questioning every little thing a man who was named GM of the year by the people in the know must minimizes anyones position. Thats my POV, but it’s a total position considering drafting, yes players we drafted on another team doing well, free agent acquisitions, and trades. If Beane is sooo bad, how is it that the Bills are on top of the power rankings and Vegas has them poised to be most likely to win the SB? OP, thanks for sharing the story. Baltimore seems to draft ether than most teams over the last decade and more. BTW- they also have a bunch of misses, but it’s looking at a GM in totality. For an example, Baltimore is also predicted with a big comeback year moving back to what they did well in a steady dose of 13 personnel. Im assuming John Harbaugh has been second guessed by a bunch of Baltimorons on their board even though next to BB he’s one of a select group of winning more than most coaches like Tomlin who’s never had a losing season. That may change this year, but doesn’t mean he’s not an overall winning coach and many here if they were being honest with themselves would swap the Bills record with the Steelers over a 15 year period with two SB rings. You Guy get my rant. Anyone can dissect one or even a few decisions over a period of time and deduce whatever fits an agenda. The guys on this board who look at the big picture see the good and bad and don’t focus on one side vs. the other. I know Beane and McD are not perfect, it they have done more right than wrong and it shows by 4 out of playoff appearances and the wins are increasing in the playoffs the longer that we look at this regimes record. I expect we will make a deep run this year, but it’s impossible to see the future. 13 seconds or the Cardinals fluke Hail Mary prove those points. Have a wonderful day gentlemen.

Yolo, I agree with Greg. If you can get between the 35’s, especially the lower end of the 300’s are great for really seeing the game. My favorite seats are the first row of the 300’s having the railing to put up you're feet. Like anything else, the wind is always the factor. I know I may fly up for the Steelers game as it’s only Mid-October and the weather shouldn’t be that bad.

I hate to admit, but I don’t remember this reporter. Someone referenced Countdown with Boomer so must have been the 80’s. I’m sorry for his family, and at least he lived an 82 year life. I say that with in my mind my Dad who turns 92 this August in mind. He still golfs twice a week, and barely on meds.

That’s Chandman’s line with the lawn. Just kidding Chandler.

I don’t know where you find these bits War, but it’s hilarious. Thanks for sharing. And Rosin is in WITSEC.

Ok, I just heard Baker has an opportunity to go from $15.5 mil. To $18.3 mil. With incentives. The MTC guys looked at the preliminary and stated the incentives looked achievable so maybe Mayfield won’t lose that much I he performs. Carolina at worst gets a rental for possibly for $8.3 mil. That’s a steal for a starter and now maybe they can find trade another team for some back up pay. They probably won’t get much, but Darnold is a solid backup.

Hey bud, we can shut this one down now as nobody cares. Viruses and bugs happen.

I think we have a balance in the age department. I couldn’t find a recent article by age so not sure yet.

I think Keenum is a but better than Darnold so I’m no. We’ve struck it gold twice with Mitch last year, and now Keenum. As far as the trade, it sounds like Baker has a $15 mil. Opportunity to prove himself, the Browns split with the Panthers the $15.5 mil. At Least Mayfield took his guaranteed $ down from $18.8 to $15.5 mil. Fair all the way around and a desperate HC on his 3rd year needs a win. That will be tough going against New Orleans and Tampa twice. I know Winston is not the best, but they have a good team, and he did go 5-2 before his injury. The Bucs are the Bucs. They have the AFCN, and the NFCW. Not an easy schedule.

I like you’re list Corta, but not really interested in the Bikings game. I probably would’ve swapped for the Lions as they are getting some buzz, and their HC is always good for some sound bites knowing at knees, etc. I hope in a way you’re right on the Pats, but I’ll contend if we have not made the #1 seed yet, so we can destroy them. Im so hopeful we destroy year in and out The Cheats so the tarnish gets worse and worse on BB. Ok I’m with Sal on WGR the whole checkers vs. chess is abysmally annoying.

Just kidding SDS. We appreciate everything you and the other mods do to make our Bills life a little better. God forbid we actually talk to our wife and kids and I don’t know, have a family dinner together. There was no need for an apology. I just like knowing when you had it back up and running. Have a good day sir.

Riot, agreed Kelce and Kittle are probably the two best TE’s in the league. There are others who are great like Gesecki, Waller, etc. The two I listed are the best by many standards.

Teef, because everyone wants to be an armchair QB, and say later, see I knew it. This is probably over the years the 5th time I stayed what Polian said on Late Hits more than once. He pointed out his. Career avg. for hitting on players was 57%. If a guy in the HOF and known as one of the best ever self reports 57%, then he’s making the point no one bats 1000. It just doesn’t work that way.

However he passed, 26 is way too young to die. I feel for his family. Even if he made bad decisions.

We needed a CB more ROC. I think we’ll draft a Safety in the next draft.

I’m onto 2022. The 13 seconds is over. Tre could’ve helped as Taron and Levi could’ve tried to double Hill. Its in the rearview mirror and Hill is gone to a weaker team.

I choose not to rewatch a game and have my Bills get destroyed. It doesn’t really matter as we’ve dramatically improved over the last four years.

BB, good take. When placed in that context, it’s abundantly clear.

IDK what people expect him to say. He has to have an answer each year as he’s asked it every year.

Moss will be retained as depth at RB. Epenesa will as well. Maybe Ford will be released, as he is on his last year of the rookie contract, so only because he is cheap, maybe is 9th on the depth chart. Hopefully he never sees the field as it was ugly just about every time he was on the field.
