I've been trying to think of a way that you can keep kickoffs in the game while at the same time making them more safe for players. According to the NFL, players are 5 times more likely to get a concussion during kickoffs. So here's my idea and I think it would make kickoffs more exciting, and more safe. Keep the kickoff at the 35 yard line, but instead of having the other 10 players behind the 35 before kickoff, they can line up at the 45 yard line. So essentially the kicker is 10 yards behind the rest of the team. The receiving team would also line up at their 45, minus the kick returner, who would be back by the endzone like normal. Here's where safety part comes in. Normally as soon as the ball is kicked, players start charging down field to tackle the kick returner, this is where the concussions come into play. So now, instead of guys charging down field as soon as the ball is kicked, neither teams players can cross the 45 yard line until the kick returner catches the ball and either runs it out or downs it in the endzone for a touch back(which nobody would really do because the other team can't move until the ball is caught). If the kick returner drops the ball, it's an automatic dead ball and the offense takes over from the dead ball spot (unless it's in the endzone and it'd be an automatic touch back). For on sides kicks, id keep the rules in place that we have now. You would basically lose the ability to fake a kickoff and do an on side kick, but it's better than losing kickoffs completely Imo. Anyway, just an idea I came up with. I know they're having meetings about this currently and I fear they will remove kickoffs completely

I think Russ is gonna take alot of flack and it's unfortunate because he did do alot for the bills. I don't know the situation and 8m not gonna sit here and judge a guy that I don't know whatsoever. If he did wrong, then he got what was coming to him, however I'm appreciative of him bringing the bills to Rochester for training camp and expanding the bills brand

To be fair, we have two 5th round picks and an unknown 1st round pick. All 3 could potentially be terrible. I think aj or Peterman win the job this year and Im fine with either of them. I still have a special place in my heart for Peterman

Schopp is so liberal it makes me want to puke. Yes the Twitter thing is/was bad, but cmon people, does nobody know what forgiveness and second chances are about? And, no matter who the bills drafter at quarterback, they were going to have to "overspend". They had to move up no matter what and not one of these qbs has proven himself at the NFL level.

Last time we drafted a qb it was Ej Manuel. There is no comparison between Ej Manuel and Josh Allen. Then the bills tried to help him by getting him a star reciever in Watkins who didn't live up to expectations. Our current recievers are not as bad as everyone thinks.

5 foot 9

Starting to think the bills are gonna sign alot of undrafted offensive guys

Still 3 picks to go, hopefully wide reciever and o line help

This kinda thing is gonna happen more and more in the future. Think of how many future NFL players are 15/16 years old right now tweeting/instagraming stuff that will come back to haunt them

I'm not too worried about it. Our new oc has alot of experience in both the NFL and college level

Not a huge surprise. Jets and giants being in New York probably won't gain huge ratings. No surprise the two teams with the biggest qb needs garnered the highest ratings

I don't hate it. I just hope he works out for us

A guy I work with was dying for us to draft this guy. Says he's an absolute beast

Half of me feels like this is Rob Johnson 2.0 and the other half of me feels like this is Tom brady 2.0

Holy crap saints gave up way too much

We may not know for years. McCarron coukd be our starter for a while, who knows

Urgh

Here it is peeps. The moment you've been waiting for the last 4 months

I'm guessing if we trade up it's with the Colts

I did not want Darnold. Happy we didn't take him

A running back number 2 overall is absurd imo

Unless we're about to trade with the giants

Here's what annoys the bleep out of me. The Browns have had 4 months to decide who they want, they do not need the full 10 mins. Cmon already

Everyone's over reacting, he's probably talking about chicken Alfredo

He knows nothing
