  1. todays BN says Levi Wallace will not be given a RFA tender offer making him an UFA, not necessarily closing  door but one foot out the door...not likely to give the job to Dane Jackson (7th round pick) and fully expect some competition and that position needs it...

  2. good points raised. I think Bills management decided that they way the team came together during the second-half of last season won 2 out of 3 playoff games validated keeping the roster in place given that replacement either were either not as good and or not likely to come here given cap constraints or secondary reasons (the wife or girl not crazy about WNY)...yes...what is the next step to improve the pass rush and middle pass coverage ?  Is Star the answer to stabilzing the interior against the run, is he going to retire or not ?  

  3. thanks for sharing, a good number of  us are passionate-loyal-dedicated Bills fans because of our strong family-community bond that unites no matter our other differences across across WNY, the country, home games, road trips with plane full of Bills fans wearing the colors...a lot of it started with our parents back in the AFL days and we have followed their leads..condolences to your family of Bills fans, may she rest in peace, and her spirit continue to be with you during the games.

  4. thanks much, excellent points...I do expect Bills to draft a swing G-RT with the first pick as the draft is suppose to be deep in tackles and Bills will scrutinize for the ability to play both G-OT.   I dont expect to start right away but perhaps in-season... I don't see the replacement for Morse being this pick, G-C,  so this complicates what to do with Feliciano and I say keep unless someone blows our offer away.

     

    I see Ike B as the LG and Feliciano retained as RG and backup C to Morse.  Ford likely to be starter at RT until rookie is ready.  Not ideal as you mention Ford is mediocre at best as OT and much better at G which should help the running game.

    Resistance from NFLPA.  I think adding a game is very hard until scheduling issues are under control and full stadiums are possible for all teams.  With expanded schedule is better for NFL to accept starting before Labor Day and extra bye weeks.  Players will be healthier and there will be more possibility of spaces for reschedules.

    yeah I agree that an extra bye week makes sense;  rest and recovery first and then it adds flexibility for the Thurs nite scheduling where you can have teams avoid playing on only 4 days of rest and preparation and instead have them play that Thurs nite game coming back from a bye week...and then have the Super Bowl played deeper into Feb where the game is played the night before the presidents day holiday - a Monday, a federal holiday.

  6. CBS - Brent, Phyllis and Irv with Jimmy the Greek - one man still standing - very little Bills coverage other than the score or quick highlight featuring the NFC team scoring due to CBS being the NFC network back in the day...memories...may he rest in peace

  7. it does work...from the memory banks

     

    lou saban used to do that some back in the day...he moved Ike Harrison from WR to CB (starter) and also moved Bo Cornell from RB to LB (another starter) and local legend Paul Maguire led the country in TD receptions at the Citadel and became an NFL LB-punter and then broadcaster and all of that

     

    Ken Jones was a 2nd round pick (1976) and he switched from DL to OL  = served as a head football coach at LaSalle Senior High School in Niagara Falls fpo several years

     

    We also moved Jason Peters from TE to LT and the rest is history.

     

    We also moved another second round pick (2011) Aaron Williams from CB to safety before he got hurt and had to retire

  8. I kind of wish Frazier had gotten the Texans job, we would have gotten 2 number 3 picks and the D is in good hands overall with coach McD and maybe a change would do the D good.  Our D line coach was the Panthers D coord as well so we are well stocked coaching that side of the ball..which makes me feel better that Daboll was not a prime candidate to move on...their loss is our gain.

     

    judging by the number of interviews... interesting that Eric Bieniemy had another year of consideration and no job.

    wonder if he has been given an offer and turned it down or  does he interview poorly and suffers from the stigma of basically running Andy Reid's offense for him.

  9. GB = Wisc boy, his boyhood dream, just need to make cap space - the favorite landing spot for multiple reasons

    Tenn - contender, solid QB, no state tax - they can use Clowneys cap space for him - choice # 2

    his two bros play for Pitt - but one plays his position and the qb situation is unclear and they got cap issues - so...NO

    The Bills - the bronze medal winner I am afraid 

    Clev would be a shocker ?!?!

     

  10. from what I gather the league is borrowing some money from future year caps to take the pressure off this seasons....still a significant drop and you know all pre-pandemic planning-extensions were based on the cap going up-up-up...the 17 game season, new TV contracts will likely jolt it, as well as attendance which was 2.1M down from 17M...hoping they keep the extra wild-card team and game per conference as done last season as well...

  11. good trade for Colts, they gave a modest return, they have the cap to fit and the Reich and Wentz combo seems comfortable and productive. 

     

    Colts have a better O-LINE and overall O so it makes a lot of sense plus Philly got him out of the NFC away from the Bears who needed to overpay to get Wentz and likely passed on the deal.

     

    Eagles still hit with a 33M dead cap in 2021 and maybe some more in 2022...they are still in cap jail..

     

    Reich and Wentz sounds like a German Law Firm...
