  1. Doug, you’re correct except one exception so many people make. The designation nonprofit, and not for profit are different. Much more strict guidelines on nonprofit. I’m sure many appreciate you’re explanation as I was going to write the same. As far as the name, people will just naturally shorten it over time to Blue Cross Stadium, Blue Shield Stadium, or something. A little bummed we’re not the TOILET BOWL, flushing other teams down the drain. 🤪👹
  2. Correct. Sal was on the morning show at the end of the week with this very discussion. He was asked by Howard about the impact on the run and Hollister. Sal mentioned he should be an upgrade somewhat over Smith and Kroft in that Holister can block in 12 personnel for running plays and can catch in the same grouping. This is also not going to be a surprise if we take one last run at Ertz at a more depreciated value. The longer this goes towards the draft, the lower his value. For the person asking how does it help the run, well most effective 12 personnel teams can run very well. One example we should be familiar is the Patriots. When they had Gronk amd the criminal, they also ran the ball very well. So does the Ravens. The opposing defenses have to account with bigger players if they start getting burned with a nickel approach. They have to flip to base 4-3, or 3-4. This allows the two WR’s still on the field to beat their guys. We didn’t have the personnel for this last year, but we might have it now. Ive been beating the drum fir a long time to invest in the TE position. Knox has let me down in year 2, but maybe he grows into his position in year 3. Last year I was bummed we didn’t make a stronger offer to Austin Hooper. He could’ve changed the completion of the offense. It’s not that you’re not going to roll with 11 the most, and from time to time 10, but you have much more flexibility if you have TE’s who can block in the run, catch intermediate passes and RB who are effective at screens.
  3. I don’t know. 24 women making allegations and no charges, not even 1 filed. This smells of a large settlement, and the NFL could still suspend him. Even so, there will still be suitors.
  4. The point of radioactivity, or a suspension I’m not so sure. These are civil charges for now, and these teams maybe minus the Pats know they would have a top franchise QB for over a decade and more. The problem is BB wants and needs to win now. He’s 68 so having a great QB with potentially an 8 games suspension, doesn’t help BB. He’s probably done in five years. Now Miami is down to 6, but they also have 18, Tua, and either this years 2nd round at 4th, or next years #1 from SF. Miami has still a lot of picks so if there was any doubt in Tua, they could do it. Watson would be happy as Miami has quite a bit of talent on their roster, no state taxes, and Miami is not exactly a bad place to live. If it were an AFCE team, it would most likely be the Fins. I just don’t see a scenario where Watson would ever agree to the Jets. Even with possibly a better coaching staff, they have a complete rebuild. Why would he ever want to go there. That’s just going from one mess to another. With all of that said, I still think he stays put.
  5. FWIW Virg, on last Fridays rock the mock on MTC/NFLR Pat had the Bills and he picked Jaelan Phillips. I picked Ettiene.
  6. I do Augie. When people are not responsible and know to say no after 1-2 for several hours and certainly not mixing with prescription meds, that’s a problem and if you hurt yourself or others, that’s where I have little compassion. As a small example I can tell you how many times I’ve gone up the street to watch the Bills game at 4 pm at Wild Wings. It’s two blocks away. I’ll maybe get 5 wings, and have two beers over 3+ Hours. I’ll watch other knock back a six pack or more and watch them get in the car. It just reminds me it’s not just after dark, there are a lot of people putting themselves and others in danger. It’s irresponsible. You know, nuff said from me.
  7. Exactly. I have compassion with people who suffer from addictions, but not so far as when they hurt others. Thanks for you’re input.
  8. Hap, I just read the article and maybe you can clarify something. I know you work in medicine and you probably know by now I’ve been in medical device, biotech sales and Mgmt., for twenty years. When we were trying to get an LMN (letter of medical necessity for others) approved with needed documentation, if we needed another A1C done or for Medicare a C-Peptide, we could get the patient to go to the hospital and get a result in hours. For those who don’t know, a C-Pep is a frozen test which measures insulin production out of the pancreas. I think most people know an A1C is a simple blood test for diabetics. One of the areas I used to work in was selling glucose sensors and insulin pumps. When you are trying to make a number, you do what it takes to get a perfect file together as the patient finally makes the decision to change and wants it now. why does a simple blood test for alcohol or narcotics, prescription drugs takes weeks or months. When most of you get a job, you have to take a drug test to clear, and background check. The drug test results are back in less than 24 hours. My point is this is sketchy why he hasn’t been charged and going through the criminal justice process. It screams of privilege and not cool. For a guy who has a previous DUI, and this time injures someone and admits he was drinking, this should’ve been adjudicated by now. I don’t care if someone has a beer at a sports bar, watching the Bills, but because I drive for work and I care about others, I will never have more than two beers over several hours. First, because I never want to hurt someone, amd second, I don’t want to lose my career.
  9. Beast, I thought the second one was a Dolphins helmet with those colors.
  10. Um yeah pass. Some fans are just so heck bent on changing things when we already have one of the best unis including the helmets in the league. I hated the previous changes with those god awful unis with the stripes. We are who we are. You know what I like about the bears? I can’t remember them changing like the wind. They are who they are and it works for them. MYbe they did change somewhat and I don’t remember, but for as long as I can remember, the Bears always valued continuity and tradition. Beyond that I could care less about the Bears. I just respect their belief that this is who we are.
  11. OMG, this like Patriots syndrome where people freak out over something from the Chiefs. You guys do know the National media is applauding Beane for extending necessary parts of our team and didn’t expect the Bills to get these guys at decent contracts. Milano was reported on Spotrac as worth $13.75 mil. in value and we had him for $11. D. Williams was projected much higher than $9.4 mil., and even Feliciano was projected much higher than his contract. Beane is making good decisions. Zero, I’m happy for you as I don’t feel less than because you beat us. You have an excellent QB, and so do we. Just because you’re team won twice against us, doesn’t mean you’re now the Pats during our sad 17 years. We have an excellent team and so do you guys. It should be fun for the next decade. Adding a decent DT is good for you guys. Losing both Tackles is not easily recoverable in the draft. You still have some space, but not sure who is out there at this point. You did pick up an excellent Guard. I don’t know why to get wrapped around the axle because a good team picks up a DT. I wanted Ngakoue too, but Beane is being smart with our $. I never want to be in cap hell again as the early 2000’s, and when Beane came in was awful leading us to a 6-10 season in 2018. For me, moving on.
  12. Thank god there was no internet when they changed from 12 to 14 games. You guys go bananas on each if the games (me too), yet it’s so terrible we have another week to enjoy a game. Whether it’s popular or not, we will make it to 18 games and at most have two pre-season games.
  13. I’m surprised he even has a profile. Most VP’s I’ve worked for in the past dont. They don’t want the connections, messages, etc., and yes you guys have too much time on you’re hands. 🤪🏈
  14. Interesting takes. Honestly, I don’t know enough about the talent to do this like many of you. Now that FA is pretty far down at this point is the time I start really researching potential draft options. For those of you who have Sirius, it’s fun at this time as NFLR does their mock draft on Fridays on MTC. The first week is only the first round and no trades. Pat picked up our slot and he chose the Edge Rusher from FL. In successive Fridays they start allowing trades, and eventually get to two rounds. It’s on demand right now if anyone wants to listen. I enjoy it so have fun.
  15. The nicest thing Allen could do is allow his agent to do a long term deal like Mahomes. Almost all QB’s want a contract no longer than five years, but preferred four years. The simple reason is they know the market will go up, the cap will go up, and they will make even more $ in the next contract. The team takes some risk regarding injury, but given how well QB’s are protected, Allen’s nicest gift is a longer contract. He’s not taking a paycut. Would you? I’m in sales and management so I give myself a raise by selling more stuff. His play is his bonus as correlative. People ask this question or make these statements all the time on sports radio shows, and the answer regardless of the hosts is a big fat no.
  16. He subbed in once that I can remember on NFLR. He was actually somewhat interesting. I’m glad he’s turned his life around. It would be very difficult to have to live down that mess from years ago.
  17. He really saved this city. Happy BDay Terry.
  18. Dedicated, deranged, massochistic, the list goes on.
  19. About 20 years ago, no problem. Now, not so much, but good motivation. Thanks.
  20. This one is easy. I’m at Oswego as an underclass man and a Frannies alumni in 88. I go with 8 frat brothers to the Bills/Jets game where big ol Smerlas bats the kick down to win the East since the early 80’s with Knox. We also go with 6 of my high school buddies including two cousins. The night before we’re out with all of us and 30 Gamma guys from an opposing fraternity at PJ bottoms. The 40+ are having fun enjoying way too many adult beverages. we get in from the movie Roadhouse brawl with entire UB Rugby team and it was insane. All of us survived of course went to Slime on the Line if you guys remember those diners serving slime dogs to us at 4:30 am telling war stories. We sleep for an hour maybe and meet both groups of guys at one of the off lots and drink for many hours before the game. The game ends and all 40+ are in the tunnel endzone. Everyone rushes the field and one of my idiot brothers loses his shoe on the field. like a young drunk idiot make It on the goalpost third for all of 7-8 seconds before I became a Ladder for everyone else and get my jaw slammed against the goal post flying into the crowd. It was one of my most favorite moments and scariest as the crowd was trampling each other to knock the post down. we sat there drunk and stupid watching others knock the posts down and then throwing them iver the stadium wall. To be young and dumb again. It was a great memory of which I would never repeat again. Those days were fun and like many of you, I wonder how did I not get in trouble for such stupid decisions. Thank god I say an our father every morning for surviving the stupidity of youth, and pray my sons don’t make decisions like that one.
  21. It’s liars season. These pundits have zero idea what McBeane is really thinking. Interesting after they extend McKenzie, they are taking a flier on the ATL returner. I still think if they want a RB, it would be Ettiene, not Harris.
  22. If you had Zay Jones, kelvin Benjamen, Robert Foster, you’d look terrible too like our boy. the jests are a trash heap like we were prior to Mc beane. My prior comments on Darnold in Pitt, ATL, and TB is the best way for him to maybe rehab his career. At least a serviceable backup. I don’t know if he ever makes it back to a starter, but it’s probably his only shot. Gentlemen and ladies, enjoy you’re Saturday.
  23. Yep. They are going to give Tua time. He may not have looked impressive, but that was only a little more than half a year. Flores didn’t help the situation benching him more than once. McD at least stuck with Allen. We didn’t have the talent, but don’t forget how erratic Allen was his rookie year. I’m not ready to say Tua is a bust. Not at least until after 17 games this year. My guess is simply the Fins are trying to surround Tua with talent. If he fails in 2021, I can see them taking a QB next year. So many people want to call a player like Tua a bust, or that he is great. It’s just too early to tell. The fins will have more talent this year so maybe the team gets better if they hit on multiple players in the draft. They also have around $12 mil. in space so they might pick up another role player or two.
  24. This is not an indictment of Edmunds. They probably just want depth or at least look into him.
