The Bills management also loves it some veteran leadership. Yes you have it with Jerry Hughes but he’s a different breed of cat. Star is no role model. With Groot, Basham and AJ being so integral to the team’s short-mid-long term success, McD and Beane and Eric Washington very likely wanted Addison on the team and for the team more than Bam.

I don’t understand the dead money argument when it comes to Addison. So what? The Bills are going to be spending X amount of dollars (basically) with or without him. Sure, in theory you don’t want to pay a guy not to be here. But in the real world if your championship caliber team is better in the short or long term keeping Bam and cutting Addison there is no question what to do.

This likely ensures that Taiwan makes it. They probably don’t like idea of losing two core ST guys.

I don’t think it’s insignificant that our new punter is going to get far more fair catches, ob punts and downed inside the 10 than our last guy, making the ST gunner less important. And we don’t punt much, maybe even less this year, making gunner slightly less important. Our PK in his second season has a tremendous leg and kicking the ball to touchback on regular basis, making gunner slightly less important.

The BonJovi thing was a farce. No one was going to give him what he wanted. The bid for the team was not even going to go to highest bidder unless it was 100% certain they were staying in Buffalo (and not just you have my word). Mary Wilson was not even going to entertain offers outside of Buffalo and the league didn’t want it. It was fixed for the Bills to stay.

He’s underpaid.

No, McD explained it in post game. He said he just wanted to tell him to get in there without knowing he’d play. Interesting and smart.

I said to my brother they just put Trubisky in. Then I looked at the tv and Fromm was out there again, and I thought I may be going crazy. I could have swore I saw 10 out there. And there wasn’t another guy I could have mistaken 10 for.

Nonsense. Pegula was always going to win. It never was in doubt. They may have wanted to boost up the asking price but there was zero chance the Bills were leaving. It was an inside job (partly because Terry had so much money). He actually paid $300-400m more than he had to to get the team which ingratiated him to fellow owners whose owns teams overnight were worth 2-400m more. No chance at all Bills were moving.

How are they great decisions when the ball can’t get there?

That’s my point though. He believes he can make a lot of those throws but his arm can’t cash the checks his brain makes. But he seems to be the only one that doesn’t know it or see it. We all do. That’s bad decision making.

That dude knew what he is talking about. The NFL loves the Bills in Buffalo. Virtually no chance they are moving. The NFL wasn’t going to allow it last time either.

For the smartest guy in the league he sure makes a load of dumb ass decisions. Love me some Fitzy though. My favorite non Bill. National treasure.

Frankly I don’t believe him. The NFL is petty, and serious about Covid, but I seriously doubt they would fine him 14k for those five steps. I know he said it I just don’t believe it.

I think he said McKenzie was “between day-to-day and week-to-week.” And none of the other players injuries would keep them out substantial time.

Does that injury report mean Christian Wade is back practicing? He was on last injury report. Now that Duke is gone we need a guy we can be unreasonably delighted and excited by until they actually play a real game.

On nfl.com they list a Tre Walker (not Miller) as a WR on Bills. Don’t know anything about him. Edit: They just had some old info. Back in May we released Walker when we signed Lenoir.

Mentioned him when I said Stevenson.

Ha. They may have to. I put this in Kumerow thread but… It’s funny, and sad, that the WR glut became a problem in one day. We had 10-11. We lost 5 in one day. McKenzie got hurt although we don’t know extent. Duke and Lance released. Cole and Gabriel sent home. We don’t want to play Diggs who just returned or Sanders. Hodgins and Stevenson are out. That leaves Kumerow, Gentry, Brandon Powell and something named Tre Miller for Saturday? Who might I be forgetting?

He may be here because of McD but he has risen meteorically. He and his team he's assembled pick the players. Sean is part of everything for sure, but McDermott was making mistake after mistake early on. McDermott is the guy behind Peterman and Barkley and likely Fromm. Not that he wasn't on board with Josh and part of the whole brain trust but Beane is the one that scouts and finds these guys. He's a genius with the cap and looking short, mid and long term. McDermott is a great motivator, and has BECOME a very good to great coach. This team is not where we are without Beane, too. I'm not sure McD even drafts Josh.

I think Beane is actually a bigger reason. Maybe 50-50. Leslie Frazier, with Daboll and this roster is probably pretty close to the same record/team.

There are two types of one trick ponies as you say. But his length and size make him different than other rushers that may have one signature move. Not that Rousseau is Abdul Jabbar but you couldn’t stop the Sky hook no matter what you did because he was just taller and had longer arms than your guy. Again not saying he’s going to be a star or that coaches won’t be able to figure him out. But the physical superiority is tougher to stop than any moves or power or speed other edge guys have.

Both McDermott and Daboll have got substantially better over three seasons. Almost the ascension of Josh. McDermott was not a good game day coach in his first and a lot of his second season. He was making Nathan Peterman decisions early. He’s far, far better now. As is Daboll. Daboll and McDermott’s job became a lot different last year when they had their guy at QB and it was year 3-4 in the systems. Totally different job. Right now, with Dorsey in the wings, we can afford to lose Daboll more IMO. But Daboll has become an excellent play caller which is a tough job and cannot be taught. Dorsey has never really done it.
