I can do my own taxes, but that doesn't make me an expert in corporate tax law. Try walking into a billion dollar corporation and telling them to hire you as their comptroller, using the fact that you do your own taxes as evidence of your ability to do the job.

If by "same result" you mean not winning the Super Bowl, then I agree. But it's safe to say that if either of us were running the team, they'd be in worse shape than they are now. For one thing, I doubt that either of us keeps an objective list of every single personnel decision and how we felt about it, but we tend to remember the ones where we were right. So the idea that we'd have done better is simple confirmation bias. Second, nobody on this board knows exactly what a GM does. Yeah, he's in charge of personnel, but we don't know all the intricacies of the business, and we don't have access to the same information that he has. Like I said before, until you've done the job, you have no idea how difficult it is, and therefore you have no idea how well you'd perform it.

You misspelled "error."

Everything seems easy to the non-expert, but when someone works in a field at a professional level, they see that it's far more complicated than they imagined before. In short, until you know more about something, you don't realize how little you actually know about it.

The Fridge was a DT. They occasionally used him as a blocking FB, and even a short yardage runner, in goal line situations.

The article originally said "upper northwest." He must have edited it after someone gave him a geography lesson.

Maybe he's from NYC. To them, NY State consists of two regions: the city and the northwest.

He's versatile - he can play in Buffalo and the upper northwest at the same time!

Maybin's numbers were coverage sacks. I don't think our secondary was responsible for many coverage sacks last year.

He should have said, "Good luck unless you play us, because Richard Sherman will take a cheap shot at you on a FG attempt."

I was under the impression that Satan reported to Bellichick*, not the other way around.

The Jets are also interested in Cutler, which suggests that they think they can win with him. (I'm not sure why they'd think that. I'm in Bears country and everyone around here is glad he's out of Chicago.) If the Jets wanted to tank, I suspect they'd just start one of the QBs they already have. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000792167/article/jay-cutler-jets-have-mutual-interest-in-one-another

That's why I said "if".

Karlos

If he opens up a lot of holes for Shady, maybe he'll be called "Vlad the Impaler."

Good logic, Logic.

And don't capitalize the 'p' either.

Can't say I'm surprised. When that much money is involved, laws tend to become very "flexible."

Billy Shaw - does that count?

Shame to see all that talent go to waste. I hope he gets his act together - he could have a bright future.

Excellent! He's really good and extremely versatile.

Wow - five minutes after posting that I saw this: http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Bills-agree-to-terms-with-five-including-S-Hyde-and-K-Hauschka/d8d35fb4-046c-47e6-a289-2a7dff43e38e

Hyde would be great - he can play CB or safety. I'm not sure we can outbid other teams, but I'd be happy to see him in a Bills uniform.

Gilmore is good but not worth breaking the bank over. I'm glad they didn't tag him, but I'm bummed that he's going to NE. Aaron Williams will be missed, but I missed him a lot over the past two years when he was on IR. I hope he retires while he's still able to walk. Woods is a solid #2 receiver. Of the three mentioned in this thread, he's the one I thought would be most likely to return. Ultimately, however, all three are replaceable with a smaller impact on the cap. I was bummed when they cut Freddie, but I knew it was the right decision. I feel the same with this situation.

Yup, and so would Kyle Williams. If they really wanted to tank, they'd trade McCoy and release Kyle. March is too early to declare that the season is over.
