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.

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)

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)

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.

Good choice......in NY the governor has decided he will mandate no attendees. Credit to the Maryland governor.

San Antonio Hogs.....or, actually, Memphis Hogs. (thinking BBQ there)

If TV studio football is more profitable, then the big stadiums will no longer be used. I thought all along this would happen....as free Tv in the local market took its toll on attendance. But, the Virus has accelerated the trend on a big way. To bad, I liked Sundays at the stadium, drunks and all.

You mean the most prosperous nation in the world?

San Antonio HOGS sounds about right to me.

The name is really a marketing icon. The money will talk, the NFL likely doesn't have the juice to force Snyder to act. However, the dollars might, but then again a billionaire like Snyder might just retain the name as an in your face responce to pressure. Or maybe move the team and start over elsewhere, no loss of face changing the name then. Anybody know a city that would like an NFL franchise? I can think of a few......not all in the USA.

I don't know the Bills are named for that historical person. Your source of that trivia, please. I have lived in WNY for more than 70 years, that is news to me, a lifelong Bills fan. I suspect you made that up, actually. (I was born before the original Bills which existed in the late 40's, name was readopted in 1960 when the AFL was formed)

The legal problem here, is although you can sign for yourself, you cannot sign on behalf of your kids, maybe your wife. So, the NFL can still be in court and loose. Wavers of this sort are a futile effort w big lawyers on both sides getting paid.

Doesn't matter for Bills fans......the Cuomo Administration has decided for you....you cannot attend a game, even if you are the only one in the stadium. This is BIG BROTHER telling you how to live. That's why I moved to Florida!

EJ was to busy selling shares in his future income stream. (yes, he did) He was emulating RG3 who also did that. Didn't work out for investors in either case.

They did this once before.....the strike shortened season in the 80's.....Jim Kelly era. I opted out and used the money to buy a pure bred St Bernard.

Cam wants to be #1. The Bills don't want a challenger to Allen on board at this point. I agree w that assessment. Barkley is #2, knows it, and is supportive of Allen from a vets perspective...perfect to help get Allen's head right.

voters are forgetting that not only is he a former #7, BUT, he also has two years in the league under his belt. the 2 years is a BIG deal. He gets multiple picks , maybe two #1's included if the Bills wanted to trade him. I just can't fathom how this is a reality based exercise.

1yr, 7.5 million media reports

I recall Trent Dilfer.....a leader, not a big league thrower. And, Josh Allen is more than Trent Dilfer imho. (Dilfer won a Super BTW) We need to ride Josh up the learning curve here. Will he win a Super Bowl....I look forward to seeing how that goes!

I think virus will play in how the season comes out, irrespective of format. Teams that avoid infection will rise. Those that need to bring up practice squad players will not do as well. I even forsee games where teams can't dress 46, as they don't have that many heathy bodies. Avoid the virus (and injuries) and you can have a decent season....if there is a season. I know the lip service plan, but, nobody really knows. They will try, but, .......

The rookie will be on the practice squad. imho anyhow.

He had a partner, he had to pay taxes......his number, still large is likely less than half of that. Taxes alone likely cost him 45%, between federal and state taxes.

The NY media are hopeless homers. Its always especially sweet to beat the Jets as I love the NY media crying. Didn't Rex used to love the NY Post? Oh well, beating the Jets a couple of time will even up things for me.....for the insult. This article will play in NYC btw, as it plays to the jets fans....ya gotta sell papers you know to pay the bills.

He had a few great games for the Bills. I was surprised a little when they let him walk and didn't resign. Must have been other issues we didn't see on the field. Sad his life has turned into this situation.

I don't think the NFL can compel a signing by any team. As Pointed out above, a CK signing would be a marketing diaster in many cities...including Buffalo. LA does make sense, and NE doesn't (as I said in the other thread...Bellicheck and Kap isn't good chemistry imho) Thing is, Kap might not make the team in LA. What happens then, more riots? A risky signing in any event.
