Morgan Fox had some decent seasons, would be a nice addition to the practice squad. Demone Harris is a local kid. He came to my church a few years back. I am not a small guy, but this kid was every bit of the 6'4 265 he is listed at.

I've taken a few lumps here. Been to the Principal's office a few times. Been given a vacation. After my initial butt hurtedness I realized if I read the MNF, SNF, and TNF post rules a bit better, or had better self-control I'd likely be better off. In short, it was my fault each time. I highly doubt they deleted your thread without having a reason to do so. They stick to their rules but I've never known for it to be personal.

There have been 7 different head coaches to lead a team to a Super Bowl victory in the last two years. 4 of 7 had been head coaches for a different team prior to coming to the Super Bowl winning team. 6 of the 7 coached the offensive side of the ball before becoming a head coach. If we are going to move of from McDermott, I dont want a young coordinator who will take time to learn the nuances of gameday and roster management. That said, a team of Jon Gruden/Reggie Mckenzie or Matt Nagy/Mike Bradway would be the way I'd lean. If you are going to fire a coach that has been pretty damn good for 9 years it better be for a guy who can have you in the Super Bowl the very next year. McDermott would have a job in two seconds if they fired him.

Ive said this many times about the McDermott and Beane discussion. I am fine with moving on from them but be very aware that an OC, DC, former head coach or a name no one talks about is just as likely to be the same or worse than what we already have. Making a move at head coach will satisfy the restless natives for a bit. Until it doesnt.

Watching Keon play football has been one of my least favorite Bills memories of all time. Thats saying a lot. I cant recall another player in a prominent role where I say 1-2 times a game, "what are you doing." Maybe JP Losman.

I'd understand more if they were top 5-10 picks but they are generally in the late 20s.

I also had a Cat Benatar at one point. Now I have a dog and just kept the name it came with Salsa.

I think its highly likely the Bills leaked the information to try and get sympathy from their fans. "Oh look at least they tried!" The issue I take with that is the Bills have Beane, two assistant GMs, and a Pro Personnel Advisor in their front office. They are a well-staffed, highly paid group of football professionals. They had from October 13th when they lost to Atlanta and it was obvious they needed to make a move at WR, until November 4th at 4pm to get a deal in place. I appreciate they went big game hunting, but this team had over 21 days to make a move. They had draft picks, plenty of resources in the front office, and the backing of the owner to spend millions of dollars on a player beyond this year. Bottom line is they failed. Brandon Beane seems like the type of guy it'd be cool to golf or get a beer with, but he is arrogant as hell and it impacts his job. More than once he's become defensive about fan or radio host opinions about what the football team needs. He says stuff like "this isnt fantasy football" which is essentially him telling the moron fans that he knows more than they do. The fact is he likely does. But when Joe Six Pack in Cheektowaga knows you need a WR, and you tell him he doesnt know football, and Joe ends up right, maybe humble yourself a bit. Beane is famous for pounding the podium and getting emotional about the city of Buffalo and Bills fans. Thats great. That said, when you alienate your fans. When you yell at radio hosts for being stupid. You're the bully. Beane's life path may have led him to a football front office. But there are fans who have lived and died with this team for 30, 40, 50, even 60 years. Guys that shell out thousands of dollars for tickets, parking, and whatever new goofy jersey you happen to be selling for $150 dollars this year while making manufacturing job wages. So when you completely fail at your job while making millions, maybe do better than "this isnt fantasy football" or "It takes two to tango." Bills' fans are not stupid. None of us should feel bad for you when you try and blame the Dolphins or Jets for your failures. It just proves they arent as clueless as you were when you decided to make the Chiefs better. Next time you decide to pound a podium, take a minute and understand you don't speak for us. You've lost that right. Because when you go back to North Carolina with your millions, and the Bills are a distant memory for you, we will still be here. Your job is to go after a Super Bowl every year, not make excuses for why you cant.

They have to play them anyways. Its an AFC West year. The good news is the Pats will have to as well.

44.5. Both the Eagles and Packers had reached the over in 5 of 8 games. Id like to get a better sense if scoring is down overall because some of these games lately are horrible.

Whatever you missed I missed as well. Took the over as part of a parlay. Safe to say that money is gone.

I had the same impression. It was fairly obvious we just drafted a complete moron.

I love what he brings to the defense. The problem with Ed is he isnt consistently great. He's had a few dominant years here and there. To your point he hasnt played a full season in 4 years. I'd love to have him here but not at 20 million dollars a year.

They cant cut or trade Milano or Jones because next year is a void year. They will be paying them to sit at home or play somewhere else. They owe them what they owe them regardless. Knox, Taron, Samuel, Rapp will all be cut or traded. Another one to watch for is Oliver. Trading or cutting him will save the team 15 million. Those 5 moves will get them near 50 million in space. Lets wait and see what the Patriots look like when they play a 1st place schedule. I wouldnt throw next year away just yet.

About as hard as Ryan Day's job now.
