When it comes to close calls, you win some you lose some. Everyone remembers the ones that change game outcomes and make assumptions. Let's not be a fanbase full of whiners.

Is he selling this oxygen tanks he uses to combat hangovers?

Wonder if he can fill the Gilliam role

This was the birth of the "glory years". One or two weeks earlier the Bills were getting smashed and Levy pulled Bruce and others in the 4th quarter. Bruce had a tantrum....then this happened late in the game.

I said the Sabres are on their way out.
The reference about the Bills was about being a pro sports owner without McBeane managing the Bills.
Nearly every sports venture Pegula has been apart of sans McDermott and/or Beane has been a disaster. That includes the Bills.
Aren’t talking dollars or the teams wins and losses?

Yep this thread still sucks.

Because haven't you heard that 98 degrees with 90% humidity and basically having 2 weather seasons is so much better than Buffalo? Plus in Charlotte you could be impacted by a hurricane! They're way less destructive than a snowstorm 🙄
P.s. I live here lol
If you took out the climate facts of both cities and put a poll out NC is winning by a lot for the general population. If you want to be the national enquirer of weather on either side then whatever.

I think analytics has mostly proven that by the time RB's are ready to get paid, they are expected to nose dive in production. There are exceptions, the Ravens did a great job in idenitifying that last yeat.

Imagine if Brady made better use of his HBs , to get solid chip on a blitz.
Or help out Dion against Chris Jones lol
I bet the Bills might have the least sacks in the league...oh wait nevermind

Cook should be popping out of the backfield and making himself another option/target for Josh.
Agree on the OL.....which helps bring out Cook's best traits and allows him to make explosive plays.....but another RB will also do well in this offense. All in all, knowing you should not pay everyone what their market is I am good letting Cook play out this year and drafting another guy on day 2 or 3 next year.

I agree that Cook probably views himself like that because his argument would be "You don't ask me to do it!" in regards to pass pro, and the Bills argument is "That's because we CAN'T!".
I mean, imagine a key situation on 3rd down where he is in the game and Allen has to audible into a call that forces Cook to stay in and block due to the defense sending extra guys or the look they are in...the play gets blown up due to Cook whiffing on a block. Essentially he cannot be on the field on 3rd down because even tho he isn't asked to do it often, when you have to do it, you have to be able to do it well, not look like you are waving a cape in front of the bull like Ole!
Also, if he would be on the field on 3rd down, I would expect the Bills face more designed calls to get pressure directed at Cook and take advantage of his lack of ability as a blocker...teams are not stupid...they look to exploit the weak link and he would, by far, be the weak link in that situation.
That's the downside to his argument. Just because he isn't asked to, doesn't mean he shouldn't work at getting better at it, especially because if he is trying to force his way out of here, he will likely be going to a team that asks him to do it a lot more and expects that from him.
The takeaway from Joe Marino was that the Bills simply dont ask their RB's do pass pro much period, not because they can't but because Josh Allen can work around rushers really well and the back's are receivers.

that's my point...he is limited to a 2 down back because his pass pro is abysmal, often times getting Allen nearly killed by whiffing on blocks. If he wants to be "worth" that money then he should have spent the off-season working on this not crying about money. Having a massive hole in your game for an RB that limits his ability to be a 3 down back is one of the best ways to ensure you don't get a big contract.
Joe Marino talked about the pass pro argument and it turns out the Bills ask a RB to pass pro at a VERY low rate. And they asked James cook to do it a very small amount of times, not even once a game. While its true he is not good at it, it is also true they dont ask RB's to do it much. In additon to pass pro he is not an ideal back on short yardage and has suspect hands. Agree with the overall assessment, he is a two down back and not worth what he put out there.
People get so emotional about this stuff though, it is all just black and white. I see the case from both sides and I am not at all surprised they are not coming to an agreement. In this case I think it makes sense for Cook to want to get paid, he will have one chance to get a good payday. RB's get screwed by the current structure for rookies because they have such short career spans. If he plays this year he risks injury and never getting it (Bills have the leverage). However the Bills could look at him and say, he is not worth 15M AAV, on the open market he may get 10-12MAAV but we don't value him even there. So they are at a stand still, Cook and his reps will have to decide what the best course of action is. I woudl not be that surprised if the Bills are not that in interested in an extension at what his market rate would be. If he sits, he takes a hit on some of the 5M coming to him this year and teams may downgrade him just because of his potential to hold out.

Two trains are driving toward one another. The first train leaves Town A at 5am traveling at 60 miles per hour. The second train leaves Town B at 7am traveling at 70 miles per hour. the distance between Town A and Town B is 455 miles.
What is the EXACT time that the collision will occur?
5PM cause its always 5 o'clock somewhere

Is there one person who doesn't some (a good chunk) of that for non NFL use already? Are there people who have to watch every single NFL game? THis seems like a dram queen way to look at this.

Someone I trust with news sent it to me. I didn’t verify it before posting but said twice “if it’s accurate”. I should have verified.
OK, I read it and thought it is complete BS because it makes zero sense.

Idk how accurate this is and I’m not saying bring him back. Just was saying that there’s other options than what you laid out. But how many players meet your qualifications in general, not many.
If this quote is accurate and recent why wouldn’t he take a PS spot especially if he’s not getting any interest from other teams? It seems the Bills moved on from him not him wanting to leave.
What would make you think that is a real quote from Von?

I know its gotten rave reviews, but I refuse to watch The Four Falls of Buffalo.
It's funny, I tried to tell my Dad to watch it when it came out and he just dismisses it because of the name. It is not a hit piece at all, it really is well done and celebrates those teams.

Probably because you have a vested interest in those outcomes?
