The NFL is cozy af with cash- and this is a new stream. Scandal shmandal. It's not about integrity of the game for them, just cold hard cash.

After the first Pats game I was ready to show him the door. But then he did something I've not seen from him before- he adjusted and started the run game. I still think he's "too cute" sometimes and doesn't need to be. Josh will make plays. Last year I was terrified he'd leave but right now I'd be like "ok, who's next?" The idea of him going and taking dorsey and Frazier leaving at the same time tho... Too much for one off-season.

Heck of an upgrade from a few weeks ago when Scott Chandler was the "legend" of the game. Kinda devalued the word "legend".

Near the end of an up and down roller coaster season, the Bills are out of excuses with no wiggle room. All that can change with a win @cheats this upcoming week, and then control our destiny in the division. We were embarrassed the last time around, gashed in the run game against a limited passer in Jones. Now it's time to curb stomp them and take back control of the East! I believe now if we win, we would have the same record, so it goes to tie breaker. First tie breaker, head-to-head: tie we would be 1-1 against them. Second tie breaker, division record: Bills 4-1, Pats 3-2= Bills in the lead in division! Let's Gooooooooo Buffalo give us the Christmas present we all really want!

When the clock hits 0:00 today, OP is likely to be right. Playing like they have, it seems like "in the hunt" may even be a little presumptuous.

'member when there was that bad snap and we almost got a turnover... ...that was awesome.

The supposed franchise savior, no less! Second overall. Wow.

Well I'll be hornswaggled

My guess is they'll put him somewhere around 18-20. I think he deserves a top 10 but you know, we're Buffalo.

Beane loves physical freaks. Worked with Josh now he's going to do it until he's proven wrong.

I've never seen an ad on this forum, ever. Granted I've only been a member for a few years but not once have I had to click through an ad. Maybe a banner ad or something I didn't notice, but certainly not pop-ups... And I've never used an ad blocker.

Shocked there are people complaining. Safety concerns? They are already significant as the league currently sits. 1 game does not drastically alter this. Odd number of games? Can't figure out why literally anyone complains about this. NFL greed? Like it just got here? C'mon then stop giving them money. If it ain't broke, don't fix it? OK- but that's not how we operate in literally anything else. Imagine the guy "why are we making paper, stone tablets and chisels work just fine". It seems to me this will end up with expanded rosters (more players get paid), larger salary cap, less pre-season, and more football to watch. I can't think of any legitimate complaint from a fan perspective. The only complaint I could even take seriously is players on a current contract playing for less per game- but of course even this will be adjusted given a couple seasons to transition.

*Regular season OP do you watch the games? They mention this stat every week.

This is a great post and comparison between the two regimes. Only thing is I reject your comment about throwing McD, etc "under the bus" after chiefs loss. Beane and McD have done an amazing job AND losing the AFCCG was mostly on the coaches. They are not mutually exclusive, and we don't have to force an "either, or" argument. They need to get better, and that's ok. Their progress does not delegitamize the need for more growth. The moment you stop obcessing about your failures is the same moment you stop getting better. And we are not done getting better.

Lol. Strangely, this is the first thing I thought of when I read the article this morning. I knew there would be a thread about it or at least a ressurection of his original thread!

I have a hard time believing it's the NFL's best draft ever. Not sure I even agree with the supposition that Beane hit on "every single player". I mean, I like Beane but this analysis seems fantastical with a buggy placed squarely in front of the horse.

Maybe they will, but we'll be in the playoffs again and need to have a plan for when officials are "letting them play" like often happens in big games.

Sure. If he wants one he can have one. Not sure it's neccesary, but you never know. If I'm Beane, I have no interest in trading him, so if he wants a NTC it's not worth negotiating. Seems like basically insurance for a potential new GM (like the Watson situation) and in that case it's not Beane's problem anymore, so yeah you give the guy a NTC no questions asked.

I tend to agree with this right now in a salary cap squeeze year. Josh is already the whole team basically. He goes down, we go down. And I guess I'm ok with that. Now if somebody wants to be a backup for affordable salary (Fitz, Mitch, etc) I'm all for it- but this year may just ride with what we have in Barkley and maybe even let Fromm out of his covid bubble and see what he can do!

Love this. I've liked Stafford alot since his mic'd up injury moment when he was a rookie iirc. Heart. That kid's got it. And the Patriots have none.

Love what this does to Watson's value if he gets dealt into the AFCE.

Holy crap. That is it! Can't believe I never looked at the bills website 🤦 Hate that stuff on the back though. Yowza

Okay... Who knows where to find Kyle Brandt's jacket from the Buffalo vs. the world hype vid?? I have been looking for it non-stop since the video came out but have not been able to find it. If anyone knows please share the link... I need that jacket!

Got nothing for you. This one stings. A close game I could feel good about, but a trouncing? Nope. I guess theres always next year.
