The original question was, will it be around I’m 6 months? I believe yes. 2 years from now? I doubt it.McMahon will do what it takes to play minimum of 2 years. Would want to outdo the AAF.
I believe there is more of an appetite for football now, than when XFL-1 was around. Should have a better TV audience than back then. Interesting thing is they don’t get a dime from ESPN or Fox for TV rights so they best have a plan as ticket revenue isn’t going to keep them afloat.
edit: Apparently the league is funded for 3 years. Doesn’t mean they won’t pull the plug early.
Fair assessment, on my end I guess I don’t see many folk watching the same guys that most said were horrible players before the were cut, not counting player who never got drafted to begin with.
Is the XFL basically the practice squad league...? anyway semi pro leagues historically don’t last long unless they become a farm league, which college football already is... same with college basketball, the feeder system is already in place. -

Yep. Financed by Jim McMahon.
I thought he try this once before and there was not enough interest to keep it alive, and it died, and McMahon and his investors lost a lot of coin. Question still stands, it is less interesting than the college game, no culture, no tradition, and no history, it is a league of players that “aren’t good enough” to play pro ball, its an odd way to lose a whole lot of money. I guess we shall see, well actually someone else is gonna have to see, because I won’t be watching.

Seriously, Is there any real chance this league is still around six months from now?

Although many here don’t think he will make the 53, and they are probably right, I’m going the underdog route, thinking he makes the active roster, ya ya, I know, but it’s fun to root for the underdog...
Go Bills!!!

That's from 2010. Bills were middle of the road in revenue last year.
I just read we are 18th in the league revenue wise, that puts a bunch of teams below us.

Sure hope that doesn’t happen, that would be taking a RB with the first pick in the draft bad imo... can’t see him opposite John Brown as the big upgrade our team needs or expects at WR.

What are we gonna do you ask, well, either nothing or something, either way it will cause massive controversy and create a great schism that will rupture the very fabric of time space.... heady discussions like this are not for the mere sports forum, but should be kept behind closed doors and never spoken of in public....
or I could be altogether wrong, ya never know about these things...

Just click bait gossip imo, the only think I have read is that Burrow would be fine with being a bengal.

Saw that, and a bit on a 30% restriction/ requirement when entering the last year of the CBA when it comes to paying extensions iirc, don’t fully understand that stipulation, lots of financial juggling is going to happen. No worries though, Beane will do his thing.

No, I like myself to much... “the agony of defeat”
Go Bills!!!

I commented in a few threads after I heard Beane talk about the "buddies" in his year end interviews/pressers. I was elated to hear it!
I still think that Beane and McDermott are "joined at the hip". It's just getting clearer that Beane is more the level headed pragmatist and
McDermott is the more personal and emotional one.
I think it could be a great blend that could work out into something wonderful long term.
Agree on the buddies thing, and sure hope they both stay here for the next two decades..,
Go Bills!!!

Apologies kind of work better when you say "I blew it, me bad, I need to do better" vs. justifying yourself and making excuses
Gotta agree with that, It’s more like a, “it’s everyone else’s fault tour”, the guy is hopeless at this point, he has a very limited time to get his three-hundred pounds of BS into a ten pound bag.... he is over thirty, and the clock is ticking.

To me, the best NFL stats are situational stats. For example. An RB averaging 5 yards on third and 10, and average 3 yards on first and ten then an RB who averages 4.5 yards per carrying in both of those situations.
Stats are very important, but in the NFL, the infamous "eye test" does have a bearing on the review.
The stat I want to see is "drive-killing drops." All drops suck, but if a pass-catcher drops a check down at the line of scrimmage on first and 10, that is far less frustrating to see than a player dropping a well-thrown ball 15 yards up the field on 3rd and 10. The second instance is nearly as bad as a turnover. Does anyone know if such a stat is tracked by PFF or someone else?That would be a stat I would like to see, it would seriously effect a pass catches pay don’t ya think.
Go Bills!!!

Without Ralph Wilson we wouldn't have a team for Terry Pegula to buy.
Not relevant to the question asked.
Ralph did some good things, but screwed the pooch the majority of the time. It was under his management that the team acquired the bad reputation that the current team is still trying to shed.

Not funny and very inappropriate.
Funny (not really) how a guy who admits that he literally crapped in his own hand thinks he can criticize an entire nation simply because they speak a different language.
Yup, that was my point.

A bad attempt at a sad view of humor... or he is upset that those he is referring to speak more languages than he does... it is likely one or the other,

From what I’m reading, it appears we have an execution/coordination problem between the O line WRs and QB when applying what is in your post to our offense. I guess more detailed work would be required to get timing aligned so as to have a higher degree of success. Lots of homework this off season for the fellas... Nice thread Hap, thanks.
Go Bills!!!

Yup, playing with himself....

If Josh gets two more receivers that can actually catch the ball when it matters most, on top of Brown and Beasley, and does not have 16 fumbles (that’s pretty inexcusable ya gotta admit regardless of how many were lost), and does the other things you stated, he will be considered very a successful QB, and we will all be happy, except for Tex and a few others, they are always the grumpy and unhappy bills fans, they are entertaining though, ??
Go Bills!!!
