    I apologize

     

     

    Great...now I feel like a d***.  

     

    No, I apologize. 

     

    However, when my wife asks me when I get home, as she does invariably, "Was House as funny as he always is today?"

     

    I can stare into the distance and tell her, "He...was human today...Now, are the hot dogs and beans ready?"

    Who is Catfish and what round ?

     

     

    House, come on.  You are better than this.  If you are just going to phone it in and save all the good stuff until draft night then...

     

    ...I gotta be honestly with ya, I had nothing past that.  

     

    I'll still be here regardless.

     

    Have a good one.  Go Bills.

    As per the new stadium lease, I do believe the new owner would be able to move the team without penalty in the year 2055. If there is NFL football still going on by then I'll eat my hat 

     

     

    I believe the buyout even early on in the current lease is one billion dollars.

     

    Yes, a lot, but given the scales we are currently talking about with the potential sale of the Commanders the economics of these deals are so different than even just 9 years ago.  back then a Bills owner with a 5 billion dollar worth made you one of the richest owners in the NFL, but probably would not get you through the door to buy a team today. 

     

    If you have 5 billion to spend on an NFL team I really going to be that sick over spending another billion to possibly move them someplace else?

     

    Additionally, just because we are told succession is in place doesn't mean it has to take place.  Many of us have, and continue, to keep Kim in our thoughts and prayers and maybe we can't even comprehend what they are dealing with at this point in her health.  However, at 72, what if Terry, without the continued assistance, guidance ad even partnership with his wife, doesn't want to do this anymore at some point?

     

    Regardless, I have resigned myself to the idea that even if they make it to the end this will be the last lease deal for the Bills in Western New York.  Will I have shuffled off this mortal coil before they go?  Maybe.  However, I am in the minority because it does matter to me if they leave when I am gone, because I would like to think that whenever my child roots for this team in the future it will draw her closer and make her think about her late father.

     

    While she watches the team during the games, and also to be in attendance during the annual halftime ceremony celebrating my exploits as the martyred commander of Space Force who successfully defended our planet from alien invaders on "He Did It For All of US Day", always set as the third Sunday in October.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  4. Step 1:  Purchase Madden 24;

     

    Step 2: Set sliders on Madden 24 to "Rookie";

     

    Step 3: Win Super Bowl in in Madden 24 with 500 yards passing by Josh Allen, and a score of 63-7 over [ insert NFC fodder team here].

     

     

    I love my Bills.  I don't think it is a Super Bowl year.  

     

    Rebuild?  No...I prefer the term "Reload."

     

    However, I think 24 will set up very nicely for a run in 25.

     

    Buffalo Bills...prove me wrong and win it all in 24.

    It is a great weight you have put on my shoulders, Sir.  

     

    I did not ask for this burden.  It has been thrust upon me out of necessity.

     

    Please know its importance is not lost on me.

     

    Let me me finish my egg McMuffin and ponder it further.

    He’s re-signed.

     

     

    Thank you, both.

     

    I honestly did not know and appreciate it.

     

    ...so let me add...that is cool, too.  

     

    In general I've been pretty OK with the offseason.

  7.  

     

    I do remember him and I was a fan, as I was of all those guys on the 78-82 Knox Era teams.

     

    They were all my heroes as a boy.

     

    I am gray and old and bald now.  He passes at 72 and I have sadness over it, because I still see him, and all of them, through the eyes of that small boy as they were then...and as I was.

     

    The almost tears in my eyes are for the both of us.

     

    RIP, Sir.

    move Poyer into the box on a lot of looks to essentially be the MLB?

     

     

    I don't think it is a stupid question, Warrior, to bring up possibilities outside the norm of what they are thinking about here above and beyond some of these guys just being safeties.

     

    No, I don't think they should reinvent the wheel with a safety/LB hybrid, but there seems to be a little bit more of their thinking with this other than just signing a guy.

     

    ...or...really maybe it is just that...kicking the tires to see if he could turn into even half the player that Hyde and Poyer are.

  9.  

    I believe Crowder was paid $333,000 and some change per reception here in 2022.

     

    I wish him the best, but this just really didn't work out due to the injury.

     

    Good luck with the Giants. I'm kind of 100% sure things will work out well for both team and player on this one in 2023.

     

    Dang, I like what the Giants have been doing.

    Why? 

     

     

    Stuck on how to emoji this.  I had thumbs down, but that was for the signing.

     

    I changed to thank you to you because I agree with your "why?"

     

    Spotrac figured him at about 8.5 million.

     

    I don't agree with the signing, either way.

     

    Are you s****ing me that this is a concern for this team right now?!

     

    A STer and iMck replacement?!

     

    Waiting for the "Beane knows more than you" group so I can fart in your general direction.  Coincidentally, I am loading up on beans for  ammo.

     

    I couldn't care less what they know as I generally have not been pleased with their drafting and FAs for the last couple of years.

     

    Yes, even the Von Miller signing.  I'll be thrilled when he makes it to the post season for us, and our whole defensive philosophy isn't dependent upon a 33-34 year old playing.

     

    That's it.  Lunch!

    Stafford has 130,000,000 guaranteed reasons to come back tho :thumbsup:

     

    It's a worse deal than paying Lamar $270M fully guaranteed imo because of how old and beat up Stafford was when they signed it. Lamar has been injured, but at least he should  have 5 more years playing ahead of him. Stafford barely had 5 months left.

     

     

     

    Right!

     

    It stinks, Dr., when you sign an older guy for more than 100 million dollars (per year, what?  I don't know, let's say $19 million - $21 million, no, how about $19.75 mill to $20.25 mill, somewhere around there jsut for an example) and then he isn't even healthy enough to play.

     

    I feel bad for those teams.

    Look is also available for a trade now.

    Baker is a lot cheaper and seemed to do the job okay

     

     

    As I live and breath, guys, I knew this as many of you likely did, as well.

     

    I just could not see Stafford back with the Rams even before he got injured, but the injury didn't help.

    PSA for the day, yelling and insulting does not in any way make you right.  We're all being calm, while you're going on like you pounded a Red Bull after dumping ten Pixie Sticks in.  Try to keep it civil, please.

     

    That aside, most, if not all of us think there is nothing wrong with Lamar chasing the $$$.  Given the Watson deal he's well within his right.

     

    I think we're looking at it wrong.  There may well be collusion, but are they colluding against Jackson, or against contracts like Watson's?  In other words were it another QB looking for the same contract, would this still be playing out the same way?  I believe so.  If Jackson were asking for a normal, reasonable contract, would he still be looking for work?  Of course not.

     

    The owners are colluding against contracts like Watson's, not against Lamar.

     

     

    Sober and well thought out, RK.

     

    Now go **** yourself.

     

    😂🤣

     

    I'm just kidding, brother, you know that.

     

    Seriously, I couldn't agree more. 

     

    Man, am I one of the few people who really likes Jackson, both as a player and a person, and would be happy to see him get whatever he can get?

    Unless the Jets fix their OL, Rodgers will loathe a decision to go there (if he actually goes through with it). I've seen the rankings vary online having the Packers OL ranked from as high as 3rd to the lowest being 10th. The highest ranking I could find for the Jets OL? 20th. Yeah. If that's not corrected then Rodgers is going to take a beating. And we're talking about 40 year old A-Rod versus 30 year old A-Rod. Can you imagine him taking a shot from Milano like Mike White took? He's fold up like a lawn chair as well. I'm not scared of Aaron Rodgers going to NY/NJ/Whatever. I also still think he's too greedy at this stage to be willing to give up 10%+ of his salary in the form of NY state taxes. 

     

     

    Agree with you, O, but I also think they can work on it.

     

    I just can't help it.  I like their young receivers, love their RB, and their D is nasty.  I don't think this is a bad move for any of the three, (Rodgers, Jets, Pack) involved.

    Two things can be true.

     

    1)  He is twice the QB Watson is.

     

    2)  Baltimore should absolutely not give him the contract he is asking for. 

     

     

    THREE things can be true.

     

    1)  He is twice the QB Watson is.

     

    2)  Baltimore should absolutely not give him the contract he is asking for. 

     

    3) I want that money so badly.  Even some of it. Oh please, please, please, please, please, please.

    Thanks. I get a lot of negative feedback for my critical posts which I admit are usually ultra negative. 

     

    Nice to get some positive feedback. 


     

    I absolutely love this team and have for a half century.

     

    and I am almost cartoonish in my belief in them.

     

    but I refuse to close my eyes about who they are and where they are going until they actually win it all.

    I don't dispute any of that. 

     

    I didn't mean let him walk literally. I just was saying that because I don't think he would be missed. He has a very limited skill set. His hips are not fluid or shifty. As a result, he can get quick separation and his routes are limited. He blows at contested catches. 

     

    Gabe will likely never be a dependable and reliable receiver without a true elite number 1 and 2 on the team. As a 3 or a 4 he can do well and we've seen that. 

     

    Next year, no way should Davis get anything close to #2 WR money. I believe that would be in the neighborhood of 15 mil.  

    McKenzie is likely not on the team next year. An upgrade is badly needed. Although, I think the Dorsey scheme hurt McKenzie. 

     

    newcam, blunt and good responses above.

     

    I concur completely.
