Shouldn't matter. But it seems to be a very big deal with McD at least.

Reporter: "What do you think of your offensive line's execution"? Bucs HC John McKay: "I'm all for it." A classic.

Zay seems to lack "football intelligence."

He is a cancer on the team. No.

The old adage is, "Build a team from the inside out, front to back. " Those two rules intersect at the Center. That's the first position you have to get right. I believe a great deal of the O-line's problems this year had to do with inferior center play, which spilled over to the guards, which affected the tackles, yada yada yada. So upgrading there is Job One as I see it. Problem is, it's rare a rookie makes a huge impact right off the bat at Center so the Bills would have to be prepared to live with a learning curve. The alternative is to sign a FA center. In any case, a better than average Center is crucial.

Proceed with caution. Lots of shady companies in the long-term care business.

Don't overlook Boss Tagaloa at center.

"Nattering nabobs of negativity"? How old are you? That's an Agnew line from nearly 50 years ago. By the tone of your post, you've reached that fabled age of "Get off my lawn-ism." And btw, it wasn't so much that Ralph was miserly. It was more about him believing he knew more about football than any of the football people he hired.

I think you're confusing him with Kiper. If anyone qualifies as the absolute worst it would be him.

If we're going to fantisize replacements for McD, let me suggest Bruce Arians.

Well, I liked it. Merry Christmas, Happy Festivus, Io Saturnalia, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays. Whatever fires up your egg nog.

Thanks for another fine write-up.

Thanks, Virg.

He is from Pittsburgh, and he has a bunch of family in WNY. But no...

Thanks for this. Most interesting.

What???

RIP Butch.

Your critique is spot on.

If Beane signs another bunch of nearly worthless FAs to the offense and uses the draft picks to load up on more D picks, he should be thrown into Lake Erie.

No it's not.

You do know Allen is from California, right?

If you're older than 49, you mean hardly anything to the NFL. In fact, if you're past 34, you are marginal.

The thing about McCaffery that many overlook is that he's not an RB, he's an RB/Receiver hybred and an elite threat at both. The only other player in the league like him is LeVeon Bell. His receiver ability had as much or more to do with his high draft slot.

As a Catholic, kneeling is 2nd nature to me. As a Marine vet, I served to protect the freedom to protest. Different strokes, I guess, huh?

Don't forget UB having a record-setting season.
