Brooks is a decent CB but needs a very firm coach who will force him to get his bad plays under control; it is best for him to get on squad of another team and have the new coaching staff correct his issues early in camp.

WTF??? Petrified gnat's urine.
So you tasted that and compared? Is that your regular drink?

Is this like the time Sammy tweeted he was bored, Sully got pissed and told him to go to the museum in buffalo and then it turned out he was in actually bored in Florida?
He should have replied he was bored because he was reading Sulky's column in Buffalo News.

Colton ?
yes Colron has been the one who has been holding the kicks most of the time (maybe all, not see stats) on point afters and on several laces were wrong several times this year.
Carpenter is one of the best FG kickers in league but his short kicking game is not as good as the long game; not sure why, maybe it is his kicking style but there were several bad holds on PAs this year/
Carpenter has record for longest FG in season (sometimes tied) twice so he is an important weapon even if Bills need to take a delay of game penality to move ball back a bit to give him a better shot.

My per peeve is when the sports blusterer states something like "They must punt it away". I do not care if it is 4-and-40 the team has a choice on what to do even if they just attempt to draw opposing side off sides.
You're an idiot.

But not you - You're an idiot.
Had this from football coach who would tell us "I want you to put out 100% effort but no more, any more and you are not going to be available in other games for you will hurt yourself AND US."
-
With regard to piston engine "power ratings". Humans playing football have what they have to give, and no more.
Not exactly. 100% would be effort without damaging one self; sometimes people go above 100% and do it by sacrificing something - damage to body, etc. like when someone lifts something very heavy.

What is Chris Hogan doing right now?
I suggested that for Tyler in another thread
I don't think he is. While he missed 6 PATS, his FG percentage was similar to years past and middle of the pack in the NFL. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he were back in camp with some competition.
Some of the the issue is the holder on PAs. The hold on a number of extra points was bad.

Not surprised. At first company I worked at after college the bean counter came up with rule that you could not charge until you got to your desk because some were going to cafeteria and taking breaks before going to work.
Problem is getting to desk required several company required actions like going thru metal detectors and in my case unlocking the cipher lock in my office on third floor. Rules also stated you needed to be "on clock' to deactivate alarms so I'd go to my desk, boot computer, sign in and then go turn off alarm. Every day I'd get call about alarm and I told security by rules I could not deactivate alarms until I was signed in. This continued for a while until employees basically did a lynching of bean counter - they observed him leaving early almost every day but charging full hours in violation of federal contract. The bean counter did not need to deal with the metal detectors, 15 minute walk to office, 10 minute walk from parking lot, etc for he used separate corporate entrance with reserved parking spot next to door. I do not remember if he was fired or transferred but the rule was modified to state time in cafeteria and other non-work areas could not be charged except when they were used for official meetings.

Players like Hogan are a dime a dozen. Most of the time I cant even tell if that guy is on the field or not. He is not a threat whatsoever, has no upswing and really is average.
I neglect to see what your less than average ability to comprehend what is going on should affect what others post about. He was mostly used as slot receiver and due to his height and experience Tyrod has not been able to hit the middle of field where he mostly plays reliably. He was used on bunch plays a fair amount taking the short route doing blocking and cuts of DBs. Listen to some of the broadcasts and you will hear announcers talking about the blocks he made to free other players to make plays.
Teams and team doctors should be protecting players from themselves. They should not be allowing players to play with serious injuries such as these. Scrapes, Bruises, soreness, slight muscle pulls, sure go ahead and play. But all other injuries should be held out. Roster sizes and maybe salary cap should be increased to allow teams to protect player safety,
Salary cap is determined by deal with NFLPA. I am sure they will be glad to get higher percentage to go to players but if you are increasing roster / practice squad size to allow more players to go on IR this means more and more money will be spent on injured players, And I think any increase in salary cap will mostly go to already highly paid players unless deal is made with NFLPA on distribution.
I am in favour of 55 man rosters and think the NFL should look to bring them into effect.
Having entire roster being able to use for coaches (no inactives required) will result in less development and more injury settlements to players. When the other team is willing to use all roster slots teams will not be able to let some players heal a few weeks being inactive.

Issue was partly due to offense in training camp. The Bills defense was penetrating the offense line so fast they were instructed to take plays off so offense could get up to speed BUT the defense at that time were trying to adapt to a new defense scheme which resulted in stunting their growth. The injuries to primary backup defense lineman, Kyle Williams and Aaron Williams contributed.

Researchers are claiming they have dug up what looks like a 2,800-year-old Mesopotamian clay tablet cell phone, reportedly found in the Austrian town of Fuschl am See.
Sadly, like Damascus steel, the technology to make functioning clay cell phones is still not known.

http://www.visitnc.com/listing/jr-discount-outlets
JRs Discount store in NC near I-95/I-97 is closing. I have been shopping there for over 25 years on trips thru or to NC. Sort of a department store for inexpensive items. Cigars is what they were known for (I believe they have some stand alone cigar stores) but carry many items including tobacco products other than cigars (never bought any tobacco products), clothes (bought t-shirts, belts and a Bills parka last trip), housewares, toys, sports equipment, books, housewares, etc.
Will miss it after stopping nearly every trip thru area.

that explains some drops
Which ones of only 4?

Some people decided he sucked 3 years ago when we should have kept D'Rick Walmart Rodgers... you won't change their minds with facts.
Facts are for those without 'inside sources' - ask Jerry and Vic.
He was still block effectively.
-
do you think the DNA in Cleveland would ask for another team from the NFL if Haslam took them somewhere else? I'm surprised no one started a crowd fund to get enough money together to pay the relocation fee for Haslam to move the team to LA
Better to do crowd fund for more money to FBI. They will take care of Haslam issue.
-
The ultimatum is STILL on the front page of NFL.com
Yes but we figured out who the inside source is, same one that said Bills would let go EJ before season starts - the garbage man.

Does analystics measure impact of changing coaches/front staff every other year?
What about GM trying to make football decisions via text messages?
Can analystics determine if it would be better to move Browns to another city and try to get NFL to give them another team again?
-
Nothing new the League always screws us with the schedule. They always say it was NECESSARY to make the schedule work and compromises need to be made. Funny thing is, the leagues elite NEVER have these things happen. Only change next year will be the Bills play 9 road games to make schedule work.
Issue is partly multi-use stadiums in other cities which are not available some weeks so the NFL accommodates teams resulting in Bills getting poor end of stick. In any scheduling algorithm when one resource is more available than others that resource gets oddly distributed.

I ask a ton of people this year remodel the Ralph or downtown stadium. Overwhelming Remodel the Ralph. When I did a TV interview a couple of weeks ago, the TV reporter brought the d-stadium idea up. She had so many unbias negative points about the d-stadium. I still think the Pegulas might try something with the ECC south land sorta of like Patriots place or a variation of the Cowboys Ford Center at the Star.
There is much which can be done at The Ralph which has not been done before because each was a patch for less than 10 years.
Biggest issue is transportation:
- They need to have have express buses to rail/satellite lots with dedicated lanes which would allow a large portion of fans to quickly disperse giving those who choose to park closer shorter drive times.
- They need to work with customs to allow Canadian fans quick access on express buses to Canada since bridges are bottlenecks.
- They used to have rail packages for fans in East; bring them back.
- Add covered walkways / tunnels away from stadium
- The Bills should look at working with ECC South. Dorms, duo use of lots, etc.
- The stadium could be covered more without it becoming a sterile dome and this would be more sustainable than an air supported dome which may collapse under snow weight (see Minnesota). Leave end zones and field uncovered with most of stadium seats covered. All of that snow needs to go somewhere and usually it goes in parking lots making driving and parking more difficult.
Trying to turn the open air fans into a dome fans will cause loss of sales both from tickets and merchandise. Look at KC Chiefs stadium, GB stadium, etc as model - putting it downtown will not necessarily help sales.
-
I agree with you. However, I've been to Arizona's dome plenty of times and it's nothing like being outside. Open stadium, please.
Been to it and had a poor view - not as poor as from Maryland's but not a seat I'd like to sit again in. Can not think of one seat in the Ralph I would not want to sit in again except the ones in first two rows behind players and they have been tarped off.
Let UB use it. Build it downtown. With a patriotplace type thing and a football version of harborcenter.
Went to UB but not in current era but if they put it downtown when I was a student I'd tell them to pound sand. Most of students are on Amherst campus now.

It is odd to see Carucci swing and miss so bad. Wonder what happened?
Someone from Bills called him with false 'Inside Source' and let him fall on ass.
The Browns have had a talented roster?
Rebuilding after one year makes no sense.
Possible, partial explanation for why D was bad

Fact correction: They did not PAY them 1/4 billion dollars, they signed them to multiyear contracts potentially worth 1/4 billion dollars which is a big difference.
