  1. Damn you!! I was coming here to make the same joke and you beat me to it!!
  2. I’m hoping that this is just an elaborate ploy to get back at Cox. That’s why McDermott and Beane were on a zoom call with the 90’s Bills. They are playing the long game. This was a plan devised upon their hiring to sit in the weeds and wait for the opportunity to pay his dad back for being an idiot. If they pull this off Beane and McDermott deserve a lot of credit. All that they need to do is give him hope and then crush this young man’s soul. His dad will have to live with it
  3. I just can’t get behind this. I’m sorry. Generally grudges dissipate but Bryan Cox was the worst.
  4. It’s insanity!! People REALLY believe (and want) him to be the QB. There was a large group (maybe 20%) that wanted Brees to retire now and to give the job to him. He’s going to be 30 when the season starts!! For some perspective, Tyrod is 30. That just makes no sense to me. These heathens fell in love with a Mormon, go figure.
  5. As of me posting this Taysom Hill was winning the poll. Keep in mind he’s 6-13 for 119 yards in the regular season in his career. He will be 30 at the start of the season. Say what you want about Jameis but he’s coming off of a 5,000 yard season and is a former number 1 overall pick. Taysom has a role for sure but this poll should illustrate how irrational Saints fans are when it comes to him. This would be like Bills fans wanting Brad Smith to start at QB. It is kind of crazy.
  6. I think that those three options are definitely on the table for the season. If it does go to option 3 (a season starting in February) I’d imagine that a bunch of the top prospects skip the season or at least a significant portion of it. It will feel like the combine at some level where the top guys elect not to participate. That’s the answer to why the colleges would care. If the NCAA ended up with Ohio State - Clemson again (the 2 favorites in Vegas) and had no Lawrence, Ross, Etienne, Fields, Wade, Olave, etc...it takes the sting out. Basically as we get closer to the big games at the back half of the schedule you could end up seeing them without the best players. It is a weird dynamic.
  7. I honestly don’t know what happens. Do they just have all of the independents play one another? ND has in their contract that they’ll play 5 ACC schools in football. Maybe they hide behind that to keep the Clemson game etc? Who knows
  8. It’s not ideal but could work. You’d be looking at an abbreviated offseason and likely a summer draft. Guys would report to camp shortly after the draft. In the NBA guys report to summer league a week after the draft so it isn’t that crazy I guess. It will be terrible for guys that get hurt. I suspect you’d see more and more players going the McCafrey/Fournette/Bosa route and sitting out to prepare for the draft. It’s certainly option 3 on the list but it’s better than no season I guess.
  9. He could have said no position I guess. If he told them the truth it would have been awkward for Davis.
  10. The whole “it was an OL” was BS. It’s a strong play by Beane though. Since the Bills didn’t take another OL it doesn’t put that guy in a weird situation. It would have been an awkward conversation with Gabriel Davis otherwise.
  11. I tend to agree with this. That scenario seems to be the most reasonable but not necessarily ideal. Oregon/Ohio State, Texas/LSU, Clemson/ND, ND/Wisconsin, are a few games that would go away. I don’t know what happens to ND in this scenario.
  12. 3...we have Trey Adams too Most mocks use the Super Bowl odds to determine draft order....depending on where they are pulling those from NE has the same or better Super Bowl odds than the Bills (which is absurd)
  13. So, one of my best friends used to work in the athletic department at Auburn. He ran into the AD at some conference recently and they talked. He told him that there are 3 scenarios currently on the table for college football depending on how things evolve. They will either: A) Start the season on time B) Delay the season 5 weeks and cancel all non-conference games C) Start the season in February Also, apparently everyone wants to let this play out but the SEC wants to push forward regardless. We will see how it all plays out...
  14. That’s kind of the point. We’ve been so traumatized we are unable to objectively view them. It’s like we’ve been in an abusive relationship and too paralyzed to see it. BB is the greatest ever but he can’t go out there and score points for them. This is a bad roster. They may win 6 games BECAUSE of his greatness. If Rex was coaching that talent they’d have a shot at the 1st pick.
  15. I just don’t see it. They are bad. They have the 32nd QB situation in the league. They MAY be 32nd in offensive skill players. The OL is pretty good, secondary elite and the front 7 is just okay. How does that team win games? They look like a 6 win team with that schedule. We need to stop looking at the jersey and start looking at the roster.
  16. I’m wondering if Beane saying it was an OL was BS so as to not cause controversy when he took Davis with the next pick? I heard Duvernay. Maybe my info is bad? I doubt it though. It’s easy to say it was an OL when you didn’t draft another one after to have to answer to, “hey we wanted someone else instead.”
  17. They had Moss, Gronk, etc... The Patriots were 16-0 the year before Cassel played. That was a loaded roster. This is not. They are not the same team. We need to stop remembering other players. Only 1 guy from that Cassel team is still on the roster I think (Matthew Slater). The Jets were good with Namath too. That doesn’t mean that they’ll be good now.
  18. FWIW, I heard that the Bills tried to trade up for Devin Duvernay
  19. We often have those threads on the prospect you were most wrong on. Next time that pops up everyone please remind me how much I liked the trade up for Zay Jones. I was sure he was going to be a stud after dominating in the senior bowl. I was SO WRONG.
  20. We have no idea what that negotiation and his relationship with the team was. Maybe things were said? Maybe they treated his family poorly? Maybe he didn’t like the food? We have no idea what happened leading to this.
  21. They stuck to their guns and he stuck to his. I don’t see the correlation? He didn’t like the way that they handled it and left them without the benefit of a comp pick. He didn’t owe them the comp pick opportunity anymore than they owed him what he was seeking.
  22. There’s another video where he hits a 60 yarder with 1 step
  23. I love this. An organization known for playing hard ball with players takes it. I always go millionaires over billionaires.
  24. Just to be clear on where they will rank I have them outside of the top 3 in points allowed defensively and inside the top 15 in points scored.
