It might have an impact, some people may stay away our of "an abundance of caution". But they will likely sell their tickets to others who dont care. We need to see where we are in May...let this thing play out a little bit..at some point I think the world will get back to "normal". But at the same time I am sure this will have a lasting impact.

In terms of the 16 game schedule? I sure hope not. If it does our 401k's will be lower than in 2009. At some point I think we just accept this virus is part of life like other corona virus (such as the common cold) and move on. I think that will be before September. There is this initial infection time where we need the world to build an immunity while slowing the infection rate enough to manage it at the hospitals as best we can. Once the thing has made its way through the population the rate of infection will be more random and spread out naturally like the common cold. At least that is what I think is the most likely scenario.

Did you know.....

We are at the top in terms of signed free agents. We aren’t getting any comp picks.

No shortage of tin foil hats

Businesses all over the country are laying people off. It sucks for sure. And there is no guarantee business ever gets back to how it was.

Thanks for pointing this out. I am sure the poster did not know you get a player with a draft pick. Deep insight!

Cool, I will root for him when he is not against the Bills, he seems like a good dude,....puts the work in.

Need another tackle and RB. Also could use an upgrade at TE but that is likley not happeing.

what a terrible post. You have your shiny object just look at it and marvel some more.

They didn't mortgage the draft because they still have 7 picks? There is no first round pick left, they gave up #22 plus 3 other picks. That #22 is an impact player that is a bargain for 4 years with a 5th year option. Arizona got a better player for a #2. I would have preferred not giving up a #1. I dont think its all that relevant how many they had, they earned those...you dont go around giving away picks because you have extra. I think the compensation was too much but I like the player. I will move on, nothing I can do.

Makes no sense, this is just an opportunity for him to extend his "legend". If they fail, he was an out, it's because Brady left, if he makes a deep run in the playoffs he is an even bigger genius. No risk high reward if you ask me.

Diggs is good. A #22 could be better or worse than Diggs. Tre White at #27 was there out of the gate. Not to mention a 4-5-6 picks where you find guys like Diggs (he was a 5th round pick) on occasion. At the end of the day, I like Diggs, I dont like the compensation it took. There are a lot who seem to not care about the compensation a long as they have their shiny fantasy WR. But I am just a guy on the internet....the price was steep though, its being talked about all over the media that way.

I would have done that deal.

I really dont understand this mentality. Wyatt Teller is 100% irrelevant. How you acquired the capital does not matter, this is like people who get a tax return spending like drunkin sailers because it was unexpected money or something. How often does a 5th rounder get cut? Not likely to get cut. Likely to not be an impact player, sure. My issue is more with the #22 pick, that is a top talent at a bargain price with a 5th year option. That is near where Tre White was picked for instance, but I understand it could also be a bust.

It does. Not really matter what picks they had. Each pick has value based on its slot. You can’t just give them away because you acquired them by trade. I am not a gm. But comparing the Hopkins trade to this one it seems like the bills were desperate. Digs is 6 feet tall. I was hoping for 6-3 or taller. I’m a bills fan and hope this works out but my opinion is the compensation was too much.

That is a mountain of compensation. I was also hoping for a large target. Hope this works out.

Speak for yourself. 17 games blows in my opinion! Unequal. Number of home and away games.... more bitching from fans. Only reason for it is to drive revenues. Higher chance of playoffs also sucks. You should ha e to earn it.

Yes That would be Incomplete “legal” forward pass. Unless it goes backwards then it’s a fumble. On the kickoff it was an “illegal” forward pass and should have been a safety. The ref started to rule this when the other guy from the sideline interrupted him.

Well there goes all the fa’s we all wanted....

Do you have your toilet paper stash?

I would sign him for that in a heartbeat

I don't think it counts in the formula. However, with as much money and holes as the Bills have, I dont expect to get comp picks from this offseason.

This regime loves one year deals. Which Seems like a good strategy

Big name but is the value really there?
