Bob Chandler's Hands

12 kickoff returns for a 19.8 yard average. Not great at all.

Hopefully he'll return kicks instead of McKenzie who has no knack for it.

That's the line in 2020. ?

3000 yards through the air and 1000 on the ground generating 30+ TD's combined.

This post makes complete sense to me. The first paragraph is judging the trade Beane made to move up to get Edmunds. Assessment is not worth it. Whereas the 2nd paragraph is ignoring the question of how he was obtained and simply stating he's a good player. A similar argument could be: Trading two number 1's for Sammy Watkins was a bad trade by the Bills Sammy Watkins is a good player.

So, seems like a solid dude then?

I don't recall this happening. Certainly not 1,500 people. Memory is a funny thing...just ask Brian Williams.

Another year for the Lorax please. Veteran depth like this is fantastic.

I'll try to contain my excitement for this event.

This is exactly what I was going to say. If we could just find a #1 like a Sammy Watkins or Robert Woods, and a #2 like a Chris Hogan or Marquis Goodwin...Zay would be great as the 3rd guy in the slot. But apparently the Bills can't find WR's of that caliber, so we may be stuck with Zay as our #1 which isn't going to work.

It's Benjamin.

The Alamo is a best case scenario I think. More likely is Little Big Horn and the Bills are the US 7th Cavalry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metropolitan_statistical_areas You're right! Portland is right with San Antonio on the list. I would not have guessed that. I think a team would do better in SA but that's just an opinion I don't have any data.

It's a way to pair up two culturally similar cities like Jacksonville and London in a joint love of a football tea. I believe Paris and Cleveland, and Tokyo and Indianapolis are also in the works. Seriously though I think it's less stupid than it is greedy.

True. The planning in advance can actually be to take a burden off those remaining who are in grief and don't need yet another stressful decision to make and execute after their loved one is gone.

In hindsight, of course. In the moment there is some benefit to kicking on 3rd down in case the snap is off and needs to be covered and then kick on 4th down. The question is whether a bad snap or a kick-off returned for a TD is more likely.

If the regime lasts 3 years or less then they failed anyway, due to some combination of factors. If you are aiming for long term success I think it applies. A recent article in Sports Illustrated on the Seahawks was illuminating. The premise of the article was that they built a very strong culture (based on competition and accountability) that had success and was primed for continued success, but they deviated from it and corrupted it, at least in part leading to their downfall. But yeah, for the three ring circus we're used to in Buffalo it's a foreign concept for sure. Have to go back to the Levy/Polian era for a strong winning culture that lasted many years.

We have a saying at work. It applies to the long run...i.e. over many years, not week to week. That is that Culture eats Strategy for breakfast. In the long run this is true. Strategies change week to week and year to year. A strong (or deficient) culture will be a more defining trait of success or failure in the long run.

Need to add the Tyrod cadence on WGR to the list with the baggage retrieval system at Heathrow. I'm worried.

Yeah but those few weeks made all the difference in Wentz's career.

True Nope, it was due to Fergy: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/06/23/the-story-behind-the-bills-red-helmets/

You can editorialize all you want, I am merely pointing out facts you happen to find inconvenient to your rant.

Including a playoff berth last year, yes they do.
