  1. Snyder isn't a good management guy for the football team. But, he owns it, and bad management isn't against the law. Maybe the fans will stay away and he will loose money? Still, in my experience, the money talks. And nobody is going to force him to sell the team. I understand the minority owners want to sell out, but, are having a hard time finding somebody who wants a piece of a business (yes, its not a team) with Snyder as the majority owner. And, as a dot com billionaire, he likely doesn't have a loan he has to pay off to own his share....he likely owns the 60% of the team outright. There are obviously lots of folks (especially the press) trying to find ANYTHING to take out this guy, but, I am not buying all these so called charges of whatever. He has not broken the law....maybe bad judgements and bad taste, but dumb is not against the law. Sorry for the fans there. Here is Buffalo, we had some issues with Mr Wilson, but never had a press led campaign to get rid of him...an original AFL owner. And, we were always grateful the Bills were in Buffalo and Mr Wilson was the fine man we respected.
  2. Cuomo is a thug. Maybe the Bills can move to Ft Erie.....oh wait, never mind.
  3. At least it wasn't half time at a game......
  4. He hurt the Bills w a big catch for Houston in the playoff last year. He isn't just a warm body....
  5. I caught the tying kick and the OT. I didn't remember Hollis.....bounced it over from 54 to force the OT. Gregor Williams as the Bills HC....he was a disaster.
  6. I recall in past years, a strong leg for kickoffs was kept. He ended up doing it all when the regular kicker got hurt. Can't remember the names or the year. Of course, Haush got hurt last year and the Bills could have used a replacement then as well but didn't have one.
  7. The Bills don't know how the knee will hold up. Could be ok, great, or, never recover......jury is totally out...and he may not play this year at all. Used to be that knee job was two years to recover.....and, I know the medical technology is better these days, but, people are all different. So, more tackles makes sense to me...they won't find out about Harry until into the regular season.
  8. As a long time reader of this Bills blog, I didn't know who this guy was until I read some.......its hockey folks....use the other board.
  9. Bean doesn't count in the cap......that will get done in good course, and the Pegs won't be cheap about it. So, timing discussion wrt Bean is meaningless. Players are in the cap, not management and coaches.
  10. Needs to learn to catch the ball more times......
  11. The answer is simple: Look at the Ravens game film....they stopped Lamar Jackson pretty well.....THAT is how they are gonna stop the option!
  12. I read in the Ft Myers paper the economic impact to a resturant that we frequent in down there that this decision is a major blow to their situation. They are the host facility for the southwest Florida Ohio State booster/fan club. they loose 12 days (or more) of about ten grand in receipts. Lots of economic fallout for hospitality businesses for this health/football decision. I dont think its wrong, but, the country is going to have fallout from this situation....many of these resturants/bars will be closing under the duress of no customers.
  13. HIs time as a safety in college gives him coverage instincts that other lb's don't have. I think he has big play/ints in his future as those instincts pay off.
  14. Not sure this is accurate. Beane came of his own choice, McD might have been a factor, but the Pegs hired Bean, and he is their guy, not McD's. The fact that McD and Bean had an extensive history just makes it work well, as they didn't have to go through the dogs smelling dogs stage of development of how to work together. As for the Sabres, they still have a way to go...and who knows if the new management can make it go...I surely wish them well, but I am mostly a football fan so I don't have the anxiety many do over the Sabres.
  15. W/o Star L, who knows. Stopping the run was a problem in the Wrecks years, and early in the McD era. that stopped when Star arrived. Overpaid, maybe, but, he did his job! And, I thought he got it going a little better at the end of last season. He is a loss this year.
  16. If revenue continues to collapse, the league and union will be in turmoil like we haven't seen. Some of these big contracts will cause the teams to have trouble fielding anything but minimum contract vets and rookies along w a couple of well paid guys. Lets say revenue is down 1/4 for three years (not out of the question folks), management will have to cost reduce including the cap. Somebody is gonna get left out the cold....the journeyman vet, is who. I hope that doesn't play out, but its in the spectrum of possible outcomes of this pandemic era. Pandemic is not gonna be over in 2021.......
  17. Way to much COVID in Ga, were I him, I would be glad to be in WNY. BTW, despite the PC crowds efforts, that flag will be around a hundred years from now. Just not on any buildings or businesses. People will express their views.......
  18. Yeh Peterman has the head but not the arm.
  19. Not going to get much from the rookies, then. Its a good year for having traded your #1 for a vet.....yes, the Bills did that!
  20. A job action to stop the preseason and camp should cancel the season imho. I attended games back in the 80's after the strike, and, they came in with one week of practice. Worst pro game I ever saw, sloppy execution, out of shape players. But, the vets think they can do it. Experience tells me otherwise. If the preseason and camps are canceled, you will see the worst display of football ever seen in week one.
  21. TO was dropping balls in his one season in Buffalo on the downside of his career. He never totally solved the problem. (he was a total pro while here, however)
  22. The naming rights they purchased was bad mouthed by the county executive (Polencarz) Said he won't use it anymore. If he works harder at it, he might get New Era to leave the city and state outright!. good work Mr County Exec! Citizens can then pay the taxes that New Era no longer pays. (except, of course, the employees who choose to relocate to Texas with the corporate HQ)
  23. Companies will do whatever it takes to survive imho. In the end, some will not anyhow, and ALL the jobs will be lost permanently. Face it, all the cap business could be managed from China.
  24. Good choice......in NY the governor has decided he will mandate no attendees. Credit to the Maryland governor.
