Not only that, but I'm sure Araiza can "learn" how to punt out of bounds... Unless he completely misses the angle, it'd still be a long distance with no return.

No offense to Haack but they should let him have a chance elsewhere. Unless Araiza is really dumb and uncoachable, he'll learn to be better with directional kicks, drops in the designed spots, hold for kicks, etc. Punters are mostly genetics first, then refine it with practice. I think he has the genes part down! It's a kind of talent that maybe Haack would have been better this year but you can't risk losing that leg to another team!

My hope would be the see the Colts #1 OL against the Bills #1 defense for one quarter. Let's see if they have finally upgraded against run heavy teams! Not many weaknesses on the Bills D, but that has been a huge one. And the Colts have the best OL. I admit I was glad the Colts didn't make the playoffs last year.

Hey, a man has to save his dollars

This. He played injured, he was a team player, he contributed a lot in 2020 and was decent in 2021, no matter how the "conform or else" fans want to push their agenda. Father Time and football have taken their toll. If he was as good as in 2019 he would have stayed a Bill, and be hired by now. The vaxx has made way too many people lose their mind.

Is just me that would gladly take a league minimum payout? Damn

Ha sweet mob justice. The 'tanking' accusation is no proof! No matter how you want to believe in it, it takes some proof. Yet IDK why the NFL doesn't address this like the NHL, with a "draft lottery". There is indeed way too much a temptation in the NFL to lose for the bottom teams

Don't be so sure. 95% of it yeah Belicheat and co don't learn much. But that extra 5% is why they would watch it. Even when they do all the work themselves, 95% is going through the motion to have the basics down and find that extra 5%.

At least he got beat up a bit. He sure deserved it. The guy with the horn made me laugh though ha ha.

You're getting nothing but "homer hatred" here ha ha. Josh is as scary but all 3 can vouch for that #1 spot. He didn't say "I'd trade Josh for Rodgers or Mahomes", calm down LOL

Every time I saw the name I thought, that guy is STILL playing? Now I know he's the son ha ha. If they pay him and again load their salary cap or trade him and lose that talent, either way the Chiefs won't be as strong, so win-win for the Bills

He was soooo good in the run game. He and Shady were MONEY. But regardless of his mental issues, he likely was beat up physically too, he's no spring chicken.

TV is THE biggest money maker for the NFL. They will NEVER have a complete off week, let alone two, when they could have more TV time, more prime time slots, etc. But 18 games, 2 buy weeks, 2 pregames, it's totally doable. It would benefit the league, the teams, the TV networks, the players it just makes sense.

I totally agree with May Day 10, Of course, these guys are paid kings ransom and treated well if t hey produce, by the team and fans. But they are also often treated coldly, and these extra "family" steps go a long way. Why I like about McDermott's approach, is that he treats like men, while making it obvious it's a business with all the cold side to it, accountability matters, you have to be a pro, etc. Some coaches tend to be too authoritarian while others too lax. He has the right balance.

Let's face it. Last year and even more so, THIS year, it has a total "SuperBowl or Bust" vibe. But it is true that Josh is "must see TV". As Bills fans, we can have it all this year! Think of that Chiefs playoff game. While extremely entertaining, like one of the best ever, it sure left a sour taste. They must WIN. But they won't do it with a boring style.

IMO, those have been GOOD changes. Did you notice a lowering of the quality of players and plays? This was just player abuse by coaches from an ingrained culture that caused way more concussions and shortened careers. For not much upside if any. It's like the people complaining how "soft" the game has become because defensive players can't clothesline and aim for the head anymore. Oh yeah, it's such a gentle sport now... Do I like all the changes? Nope. But I agree with most of them.

I wondered if he would be inducted. To me he is the best OL I've ever seen. But his career was pretty short. But as talent goes, no doubt he deserves it. Edit: weird the "one game" comments. Boselli dominated in his career, period. Of course, Bruce got handled that one playoff game and it's Boselli's highlight, but it's not just for that ONE game! BTW, why do coaches let players ego get in the way? Boselli would remain LT in all plays, but Bruce could be moved along the line!

I fully agree with Bills being favorites, but favorites doesn't mean automatic. Last year had that SB or bust feel. It's even crazier this year. Colts and Titans are running teams so hopefully the Bills have fixed that run D issue somehow... Though they have stopped the Ravens. Colts remind me of the Cowboys a few years back. Their OLine is so good they could just go run 80% of the time, yet somehow decide to pass it too much ha ha.

While I certainly agree with Josh at the #1 spot, I find it insane how some fans somehow think other top teams have superstar talent all over in every position.

They (Ravens) truly have designed an offense tailor made for HIM and his skillsets. If he can't appreciate that, just wow. Nothing is ever perfect, and while you deal with the day to day grind of course things are bumpy at times, but come on.

Achtually... last year sure had a "Superbowl or bust'" feel. But this year it's off the charts! I don't even recall that for any team to this extent. LET'S GOOOO

Good point. Overall, not bad ideas, but nothing to go all out for, at all.

I don't follow college football. All I knew is that (our) Josh was among the 4 highly touted QBs, and Mayfield and Darnold had already been chosen. So I was thrilled the Bills traed up to get him. And, for some reason, just seeing him on draft day, I liked the guy from the get go - and sure have ever since. Now that he was the Bills QB, he had all my support. I was shocked to see all the hate on here. I mean, maybe he could have been a bust, but it seemed to me many posters WANTED him to fail so they could be right! WTH. Talk about deranged misplaced ego. I'm sure glad he turned out elite.

I'm a dog lover. Except for poodles and small girlie dogs ha ha... and pitbulls. I had a Latina friend with one she called her baby and all that jazz, posting cute pics and all. I once went to pick her up and she was outside, with the dog, having it taking a piss. I noticed her but not the dog (I wonder why ha ha). That dog went berserk at me and she had to hold the leash with two hands and exert all her strength. She told me later it's because of how I reacted... Again I didn't even notice it at first, and I was still far from her. And it was in a dense city block, not in an out of the way house with no people ever coming bye. Pit owners are delusional. Owning a dangerous animal is NOT a right!

It's nice that he adds some armor to his structure ha ha. But most players are at their most muscular before camps and pre-season. It's the time to focus on weights as it's hard to even maintain muscular mass in-season. Edit: he should get that weird Bills logo tattooed for real ha ha. After all, he designed it.
