...can somebody page teef??..........

...thinkin' he should try the Ko Simpson "I am a millionaire" line........

...goin' back under my rock where I belong...........

....ABSOLUTELY....gonna be "processed"............

...at least if he gets cut, he can do Minute Maid commercials, right??........

...smart move for Harbaugh to sign his extension quickly....stay tuned..............

...call UBER son...adios...........

...Management 101 subscribes to the " an organization takes on the characteristics of its leader" mantra....so my take on McDermott is that he's methodical, well planned, deliberate and focused....and he wants to compose an organization, albeit players AND coaches who "buy in"......not sure what the hell is wrong with THAT.....how did "F Troop" do for SEVENTEEN years?....going back to the Marrone interview(s), his focus was the need for a "culture change" which is why Brandon hired him with Pegula's blessing.....did not stick around long enough to execute it for a multitude of "already rehashed reasons".....and logically with all of the changes so far for 2019 including players and coaches, the expectations are high....is it realistic or does 2020 become THE year when hopefully EVERYTHING finally meshes?....your call.....strictly opinion, but I doubt McDermott and/or McBeane get canned during or at the end of 2019....OR.....we could spin the revolving door with yet ANOTHER rebuild tenure....YAWN.......

...double up on your Force Factor pills??........

...interestingly they both had 7 year careers with Bflo (Saimes:1963-1969; Byrd: 1964-1970), so it's not length of service.....ironically they both finished their careers in Denver...

.....Saimes had similar stats and accomplishments and he made it............ In 1964, he had a career-high six interceptions and earned the first of his five American Football League All-Star Game appearances. He made The Sporting News All-AFL Team in 1964, 1965 and 1967. Former Pro Football writer and president of the Pro Football Writers Association, Larry Felser, calls Saimes "the finest open-field tackler in the league." He achieved All-American Football League honors five times, and is a member of the American Football League All-Time Team, the Buffalo Bills' Wall of Fame, and the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame.

...anybody offer a guess as to why Butch has not made it?....think I remember the Ralph feuds with Saban and Cookie.......Saban did end up on the wall....but why the Butch snub??........ Records & Accomplishments: Byrd holds the Bills' career records for interceptions (40), interception return yards (666) and interceptions returned for touchdowns (5). He was a five-time American Football League All-Star, and was selected for the second team, All-Time All-AFL. Byrd is a 1980 inductee of the Boston University Hall of Fame, and in 2008 was selected to the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame.

...terrible news..........

...therein lies my problem.....WAAAAAAY above my pay grade........

...good call bud........2019 is shaping up to be interesting..........

...I probably did a lousy job characterizing my thoughts on the subject.....certainly there were limitations due to personnel issues...was speculating that McDermott had us in the "play it safe" mode which made Daboll more conservative in play calling....

Kyle Williams eliminated in Round of 16 in U.S. Amateur Four-Ball tournament Posted by Curtis Crabtree on May 30, 2019, 12:22 AM EDT Former Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams and partner Greg Berthelot made it to the match play portion of the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship before bowing out in the Round of 16. The 2019 championship was contested over five days at Bandon Dunes Resort in Bandon, Ore. on the Pacific Dunes and Old Macdonald courses. The field consisted of 128 two-man teams that played 36 holes of stroke play in better ball format over the first two days with the top 32 teams advancing to match play. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/05/30/kyle-williams-eliminated-in-round-of-16-in-u-s-amateur-four-ball-tournament/

Bills increased security during final days of Richie Incognito’s time with the team Posted by Mike Florio on May 30, 2019, 11:50 AM EDT The Raiders think they’re rolling the dice on Richie Incognito. In reality, they could be playing with fire. The folks at BuffaloRumblings.com spotted this passage from the AP story regarding Oakland’s decision to sign Incognito: “A person with direct knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that security was stepped up at the Bills headquarters around the time Incognito announced his retirement on social media. Though he wasn’t entirely barred from the facility, security personnel were placed on alert if Incognito arrived, the person said, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak publicly.” https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/05/30/bills-increased-security-during-final-days-of-richie-incognitos-time-with-the-team/

Posted by Mike Florio on May 29, 2019, 9:28 PM EDT "Given an extensive history of misconduct for which Incognito has never faced league-level scrutiny, these two incidents could (and arguably should) put Incognito in line for a significant suspension. And if he hadn’t disclosed the run-in with his 90-year-old grandmother to the Raiders, that could be enough to get the Raiders to pull the plug quickly on the Incognito experiment."

...how 'bout a somewhat mutually agreed upon short leash then?....

....some of the beotches last year were "well McDermott is a defensive leaning guy" or "Daboll had no talent to work with".....certainly appears like McBeane has made some decisive and effective moves (sure, on paper so far) on the offensive side of the ball...so are we at a point where McD hands the reins over to Daboll as the bonafide "in charge OC" ready to display "his stuff", or does McDermott still feel the need to keep him on the conservative "short leash"?.....

...not sure if it is even possible, but the Browns....yes they're shaping up to be good, but the urinalists have them overhyped as the "greatest invention since beer"......show me.....

...lock the OBD front door please.....

...Irsay's new "House Boy"...buzzin' together...who cares...........BUT....Kaep asked me to "kneel for Chad" anyway......

...PLAYS bigger IMO.......nice fit to the McDermott defensive mold as well..........
