Is that dude who sang the anthem going to be okay?

If they don't sign Skinner, this team is in real trouble. Even if they are able to bring him back, they are already looking.for additional scoring help through free agency or a trade. I just don't see this roster changing all that much between now and next year. Unless they love Risto, I fear this team is in for another let down year waiting for kids to grow into their shoes. And this is IF they are able to bring him back.

I don't care if this guy is guilty or innosent. Either way, this dude is still a total tool.

Wasn't that a Russ place?!

Anyone camping out at OBD watching for the limo? Did he make it to Mulberry's? Don't let him out of the building! Where's the Pegula jet? Should I post recipes here? Oh boy, just getting warmed up...

So this is nothing. Or it would have broken out by now.

I respect your post and opinion but must ask, what do you do with our cap money over the next two years? It's not like we are saving for a new boat. Beane weaseled himself into the position where we can afford to over spend on a rotational player with a potential high upside instead of constantly settling for practice squad fodder

Anyone concerned over the money is crazy when you put into perspective the amount of cap room this year has this year and next. I like the deal but again, wish they built some insurance into this deal by offering more term. I'd hate to see him play to an excellent level and then leave in FA to big money.

I agree with this. General thought, not necessarily directed at you: From the Bills current situation, can they afford to miss in the first round at WR or OL? To me, I don't think the risk is worth the reward at WR, especially with a player like Metcalf. Allen needs consistent, reliable play makers. They can't afford to wait around for your first round pick to develop into the WR you hoped he would become. I'd rather see them get someone with a high floor at WR, whether they draft one or get someone from free agency. Take 9 and improve the trenches with a plug and play that can immediately help your team abd offers little risk of impedeing Allen's development

How does he help Allen any more than someone who could be taken in the second round? What skills does he have, or has shown, that would offer Allen consistency improvement?

Why would you want someone at #9 with aimited route tree?

What is up with this team in the second period? Terrible. Another string of goals in a short period of time. Totally unacceptable.

That's an interesting point. I figured that the front office would offer themselves some protection against losing him the following year in the case that he does produce well. This deal is essentially a one-year rental. Maybe I'm biased because I think he has the potential to develop into a better than average DT...but they have the money to spend, so I was expecting an incentive based contract with possibly 2-3 years. This would allow them to bail if they aren't sold on him for a long term contract while guaranteeing his rights if he does in fact come on strong. Either way, it's surprising giving the comments from both Phillips and Beane regarding the situation.

Yes it does but not generally when a player re-signs with the same team, no? Normally it's a prove-it type deal through free agency while switching teams or rebounding from an injury.

Doesn't he struggle in coverage? Maybe my memory alludes me but I only see McD want OLBs that can hang with backs and TEs How many times will be get caught up in preseason hype? Everyone looks good on paper in August. OH MY GOOD WATKINS WOODS HARVIN MCCOY CLAY WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE We've been down this road before allowing ourselves to over-value our roster

Why the 1 year? Wouldn't you think they'd hope to look past one year? Are they unsure of his long term ability but want to see a full season/off-season? Possibly they weren't offering the long term.cash he was looking for so opted to take the prove it deal? Just curious how they didn't end up with more term on this deal.

My bad. As you may know, I have a few screws loose

Because we aren't drafting pentathletes. I want a proven football player. I get the injuries, lack of targets etc. I just want a player who has extensive film that can come in an immediately, will little doubt, improve this football team. Maybe he'll be a great WR and maybe he'll flop out. But is that a risk, at #9 overall, the Bills are in a position to take? I highly doubt it.

I'm sure he can catch. That's not what makes this funny to me. How many times will we see a player transition to another position as if it will instantly make them a better football player? Take Logan Thomas: QB transitioned to TE, what, two years into his career. How is that going? As other posters have mentioned, these experiments (I.e Manhertz) almost always fair. To think a player at 25 years old can drop the position from which they were DRAFTED IN THE SECOND ROUND to be a NFL caliber player at a different position is insane. He will likely be a 6th tackle, just with an elidgable number. This isn't exactly switching from corner to safety.

This is hilarious

To me, it entirely depends on what degree you pursue. Law, medicine and other more prestigious curriculums carry more weight from these schools than state schools or your local college while you are applying for a secondary degrees or internships. Othe degrees (take education or communications) probably don’t make much of a difference since your jobs are generally earned by your work experience and performance, not your degree. FWIW, I have a Bachelors and Masters from SUNY schools. I may not know as much as someone from Harvard, or have all the fancy connections, but I wouldn't trade my experience and I feel that I go shot for shot with anyone in my field despite their Alma mater.

Wrong move, imo. It’s similar to pulling Tyrod two years ago. He wasn’t the greatest and pulling him didn’t make the rest of the offense suddenly wake up and play at a better level. This is to me feels like a scapegoat or a cop out. I’d rather see him at a time out, settle his guys and reconfigure his lines. Then again, maybe that’s common practice in hockey idk

Phil pulls Hutton as if those goals were solely on bad tending of the net? Idts. Aren’t you a defensive guru?! Yet your guys are constantly turning the puck over in zone and out of position

I read every work email (skim or just open some) and never delete them.
