If they wanted that they'd have it. Wheyher Goodell wants it or not.

I saw AJE the same coming out. But I think you are slightly underselling how explosive he is now. The best bit of his game since he reshaped his physique is his explosiveness off the ball. The reason it doesn't convert to more sacks and pressures is he lacks big time bend and really doesn't have an array of pass rush moves. His technique is still that of a bull rusher with the body and first step now of a speed rusher.

But unless that younger guy is as effective as Goodell at increasing revenues it's a false economy. In the last fifteen years the league has gone from an annual revenue of $8bn to an annual revenue of $23bn. No other sports league anywhere in the world is even close. The owners are not risking that kind of growth profile to save a few million a year on a commissioner's salary.

The only point at which Goodell needs to worry about his bosses looking for fresh blood is when he stops increasing their revenues. Obviously at some point age becomes a factor. But it isn't yet. He could easily do another 4 or 5 years as long as his health remains good.

This is simply not true.

I had a prior engagement.

And yet despite all that (and I don't disagree btw) his play on the field was still a clear regression in 2024 from 2023. I understand why he got thr 2nd contract but @BillsFanForever19 is right. He shoukd have been 5th priority if the 5. He is the most replaceable and plays a non-premium position.

I am not trying to say a lot about them. I think Sanders is the best if a bad bunch.

Haha. It is always my ice breaker for corportate away days.... two truths and a lie type games... I scored a winning goal in an FA Cup tie. It's true. It was just the Extra-Preliminary round in August, 3 months before professional teams enter and 8 months before the final.

Bryce Brown's fumble and then Jamal Charles touchdown from 4th and 1 at midfield. That was the worst game for me. 2014. Win that game and Marrone almost certainly ends the drought. And the Bills were better than KC that day. Beat themselves.

No I think that is right. By midseason I think that was the view. I don't think he is either.

Yes. Among that crowd? Yes I am.

I suspect he is more on about the flirting with other women on a boat his girlfriend is also on. And I agree with Aaron Quinn on that. Don't presume everyone's relationship has to work in a traditional manner. Let people live how they wanna live. The drugs is a different issue but looking at the tweet he replied to not sure that is what Aaron meant. Bowie was bisexual. He had multiple male partners. There are rumours about Jagger but unsubstantiated I think.

We will see. If Flacco starts this year it will be a walking disaster. I guarantee you.

I am not that high in Sanders either. The difference between us here is you think the corpse of Joe Flaccon can still play. I don't. Not even a little bit. Yea but you hear people talk about the first half of that season and they were not sure he was the best QB on the roster. Most talented, yep. But he still had some kinks and Smith was playing good ball.

You can sit a guy who is clearly the best guy for 2 weeks. Or 3 weeks. You can't do it much beyond that. Your locker room won't buy it and frankly the guy who is better and sitting won't buy it either. You might have been able to do that 25 years ago. You can't today. I didn't love Sanders either (although I did have a day 2 grade). But I think the rest of the options suck. And he will end up comfortably the best guy on that roster. And I do mean comfortably.

Sure. But when someone is clearly the best Quarterback on the roster not having them play is never the right decision.

Nor me. I can't do boats. The first wobble and I hurl.

And then Miami claimed him off waivers I think. If he made it through waivers I expected the Bills to try and bring him back.

Been saying it since the draft - The best QB on that roster is Sanders. And yet he is not gonna get a shot at the job. Only in Cleveland.

Oh that it were only celebs though. I know people who have lost jobs because of dumb stuff they have done when partying and a video emerges on facebook or whatever. I guess I just an old man shouting at the clouds. But if I could wind the clock back on social media I would happily do so.

I don't condone anyone doing drugs, I agree, they ruin untold lives. But I agree on the social media has ruined partying. Everyone has to be on their guard the whole time. I've done some stupid ***** when drunk or just when in high spirits with my friends back in the day. Luckily "picture phones" as well called them could only snap stills and you had to be very, very still or you just got a blur and if you tried to send it to anyone it took about a week to upload.

Sort of true, except for the fact the game vs Miami where he did his achillies in early 2023 was one of his best games as a Bill. He was back to all pro Tre that day.... the first time he looked like it post the ACL. And then... it was all over.

I'd have WR as "below average (average potential)" and S as "below average (above average potential)." I think if Bishop takes a big step AND he can dovetail effectively with Rapp (I'm sceptical on both but particularly the latter) then I think safety can be above average this year. But it needs both those things to happen. I honestly don't see a way for our WRs to be above average. Not immediately clear to me where the above average potential comes from?

The only part of this where I'm in a slightly different place is I think Strong is a very possible "cut." I think he is in the same bucket as Jackson and White and Ingram and Lewis. I don't think he has a leg up in that competition. I think those 5 guys are probably battling for 2 or 3 spots. I'm not saying he WILL be cut. He could absolutely earn a job. But he is in that bottom of the corner depth chart battle IMO. If it looks like he will miss out watch out for him being pulled out of a pre-season game 3 with a "foot" injury that lands him on IR.
