Bob Chandler's Hands

Crowder playing WR wearing 80 is awesome:

Same age. I cried when Fergy was limping off the field in defeat against the Chargers in the playoffs.

You're my brother from a different mother...

Comparing 2004 to 2022 (Lucas Oil Field opened 2008, so let's assume it was scoped out 4 years prior, same as this stadium will open 2026, scoped out in 2022) I went to an inflation comparison web site and it's almost exactly a 50% increase in overall costs in the US. So $720M would equate to $1.08B. and to your point, that was with a retractable roof in Indy. The other factors to consider are that construction inflation may be higher than overall inflation (I don't know), and building something in NY vs. IN may be more expensive (very likely).

Not what I am saying at all. But you be you and cast the first stone. Sure. But that's between him and his wife and is being compared to murder.

You have documented knowledge of this you'd like to share? The Kelly's marriage seems to be as strong as ever. How is it any of your business anyway? Nothing in court, nothing outside their home. Mind your own damn business.

Grew up in the household of a star NFL QB, played 10 years in the NFL, been observing the league for 10 years as a professional TV announcer...I'd say he's qualified.

What's the low down on a relocation fee? Is that through the NFL to other owners? It's new to me.

Of course he's going to say that. Gotta pump him up. He wants to get a 2nd rounder for him. 😉

You're like my twin brother from a different mother.

It's market economics. The good news is consumers are free to spend their money elsewhere when it comes to entertainment. No coercion on the buying or selling side - awesome!

I like the cut of your jib.

I don't know about that. If we go overboard, people will just tuna us out.

You did that on porpoise!

Do you mean letting him go, like, emotionally? Because he's not under contract with the Bills anymore.

I was in the car with my Dad listening to Van Miller describe the Greg Bell TD run to start the game....while waiting to park at Rich Stadium. Of all the games to be late to!

If you don't like the Bills drafts in the latter part of the Levy era I think that is on Polian and Butler. Unlike today's setup where McDermott reports to the owner, same as Beane, back then Levy reported up through the GM. I'm sure he had influence but not the final call. He was outcoached to varying degrees in those Super Bowls. That was against fellow Hall-of-Famers Parcells, Gibbs, and Johnson. Meanwhile in the playoffs he was schooling Shula, Cowher, and Flores, also all in the HOF. I don't know about 'trivial' things, I just noticed his 5 coach of the year awards in 4 different leagues, across 5 different decades. I don't know...I laughed at it. And I thought your original post was interesting!

He was past his time when brought back as a GM. In terms of your assessment of him as a coach...of course you are welcome to your opinion, but the data indicates your opinion is incorrect. Some career highlights: University of New Mexico - 14-6 record in two seasons and named coach of the year one of those seasons College of William & Mary - twice coach of the year in five years Montreal in the CFL - three Gray Cup appearances and two championships in five years. Named coach of the year once. KC - improved a putrid team's record for 3 straight years before being fired in year 5. The team regressed and didn't become a winner until 4 years later. Bills - 8 playoff appearances and 4 super bowl appearances in 11 seasons. Named coach of the year once. This is a "so-so" coach? But hey, you probably have a master's degree from Harvard and a 46 year football coaching career that qualifies you to criticize his coaching capability.

Not to mention, why go with an over the hill, overly academic, Halleck as the next choice? Makes no sense. Lincoln is so overrated. Didn't think about strategy - his success was only due to great soldiers. And he was cheap! (Do I have that right as to how we do it here?)

Of course he sold his home before building a new one. He doesn't want to carry a mortgage.

We need another solid back as a complement Singletary. Either to replace Moss as the "move the pile" back (which Moss failed to do too often) or as more of a home run threat (like a Breida who can actually block and knows the plays). All good teams need two or more fairly effective backs. Motor is one.

I like receivers who can catch the ball.

Wait until they go to 18 games. Product quality takes a back seat to more revenue, unfortunately. I think depth is going to become more of a differentiating factor between teams than ever as injuries and wear and tear (physical and mental) accumulate.

I enjoyed the questioning of Allen in terms of "Can he do it without Daboll"? LOL, the right question is can Daboll do it without Josh?

Good point! Maybe Darren Bevell should be up for head coach somewhere given that victory over the Colts.
