Well, they could have quit and received the same pay but they stayed. For me, I go to the games for the football, not t&a, so I don't miss them. May they never be reconstituted in any form!

Another Sammy watkins type

But, they could get Sammy Watkins back again..:) Jones will get another year....imho. Maybe even 2. He did pretty well as a rookie.

A successful vet makes sense to me. Somebody who can contribute to the weekly conversation. Someone who can win a couple while Josh might be out. Barkley might still be around, he knows he is a backup. Fitz would work but would want more money than bills want to pay. On the other hand, it might make a last chance for Fitz to get a ring, and he might take a "ring chance" discount. That would work, and he has the teammate skills and knowledge. I think Fitz would be great in the role. Of course ,we know Fitz won't get us to the SB, but, he might be a link in the chain for a few weeks.

About half the revenue the NFL generates goes to players......so tarring the billionaire owners is a half truth....need to say "billionaire owners and multimillionaire players"

That is the kind of thing a union negotiates...get used to it in the NFL. Management and players are on opposite sides of the table.

1. Early 60's (yeh, I'm 76) 2-3 Early memories...ok!...attended a game at the rockpile...my Dad got the company tickets...I saw Mr Wilson with dark hair. (63 I think) I was there the day Jack Kemp was on the bench in favor of Tom Flores but came in in relief. His first pass was about 60 yards for a TD to Duby. He walked off cool as can be, never raised an arm or jumped up and down. Other early memory was from Ft Polk La, I was there during the Vietnam buildup in 68, I was watching the Bills on a b/w Tv in the corner of the USO club as all the big city boys got the color TV's for their games. Dan Daraugh was the QB, the Bills were bad.....but got to draft OJ with the pick the next year. I was at the big comeback game against the Oilers with Frank Reich leading the way. Some folks left, but not me. I had 4 tickets, took my wife and aunt, and had one I could not give away. (really) I saw Jim Kelly the day he visited Mr Wilson's box, he was playing for Houston or NJ in the other startup pro league at that time. I knew then he was coming to Buffalo. The papers didn't cover his visit as I recall. 4.Fav's today JA yesteryear: I guess Cookie Gilchrist who ran through people. Jim Brown like, but he only played for the Bills for maybe 3 years. the Bills have no modern day equivalent. 5 I am bigK because....I am big!

Never. Centers rarely if ever in rnd 1

The coaching, imho, is to "system" oriented, and doesn't focus on individual skills/moves. "do your job", don't freelance...that is the matra...and they believe it. Results have been good system wide, but, perhaps supresses individual skill development. Just thinkin

The press needs headlines.

He will take a cash settlement.

The got Barmore in the 2d last year. Not sure they go DL again.

Roman was a big part of that success. However, Kromer is good goods as a coach, and glad to see him back in Buffalo.

The situation must have been abused in the past by coaching staff or else it would not appear in the collective bargaining agreement. Not necessarily the Bills, but somewhere in the NFL. these kind of restrictions don't materialize out of nowhere.

Frazier will just have to continue to do his job and collect the three million the Bills pay him. At 62, he will do this for a couple more years and then sail off into the sunset imho.

A residual reminder of the McBean blind spot about Carolina folks. This was one of the worst......except for the Kelvin Benjamin fiasco.

Maybe there will be a quota system for management position. And, maybe a players quota as well. That knife would cut in reverse for folks of color. (see Bakke vs Univ of California)

the rap sheet makes it difficult to move him up to HC. Paid his price? Doesn't matter, confidence matters, and the rap sheet doesn't inspire confidence. (and it looks bad)

Josh needs to adjust with the help of his OC. No designed runs except in deep run playoff games. He will learn this stype progressively, it won't come overnight. Hihs receivers need to be on their game to help his succeed at that more classic QB role. He has the arm to be a classic drop back type imho.

I would not wish Gase on Mac Jones....or anybody for that matter.

A friend said the movie was good if you like sports stories. He also recommended King Richard...the Williams girls story (that is tennis for you football only geeks)

Actually smart to not have your starting CB's return punts.

Although they are a business (the NFL), they don't control the firing in each teams organizations. So, the NFL doesn't have the leverage to force a hire. And, any "forced" or incentivized hiring would/could bring other lawsuits. The is going to be i nteresting to watch, I know for sure that the courts are not smart enough to figure it out. And, its a long way to go to force a team sale......owners who want to sell are not frequent. Boncs on the block now, and more than one for sale might depress the price. Not looking for forced selling to happen any time soon or ever. And, if there is a quota in management, perhaps there should be a quota in the player ranks. Then the NFL can get reverse discrimination lawsuits. (see Bakke vs the Univ of Calfornia)

Flores needs to understand, that as soon as Schoen went to the Giants as GM, that Daboll was likely going to be his choice as long as he could get the ownership group to agree. That , in fact, might have been part of the dialog before Schoen even agreed to go there. Above all else, hiring authority hires people they are comfortable with to do the job they are filling. No super interview was going to break that chain of events imho. Its not racial, although some would say it is, its the Giants trying to bring some of the Bills DNA by taking a big bite. (four guys so far at my count) Flores got released in Miami for whatever reason, he had a contract, I am sure it will be paid out. Outside of the contract, its employment at will on the part of the ownership of any franchise. (the money talks) If Flores thinks there should be a quota on management positions in football, one could argue there should also be a quota on the distribution of races in the player ranks. That might or might not produce the best quality of football as an entertainment product and could impact the revenue of the league in undertermined ways. Personally, I am a fan for the football game itself and would hate to see quality play suffer if less qualified players were kept on roster for non football reasons.

One new coordinator per season is enough imho.
