Lost his job with the Rams through injury. With the Giants was benched with a winning record to go with Eli.
I'm probably a bit biased against Warner too as couldn't stand seeing his wife on TV as much as she was back then.

BB is a great DC, maybe the best ever. He's won 6 SB with Brady as his QB. Since then has done pretty bad, granted has not had a good QB. Where he's been rather poor the past ten years is his role as GM. I think Brady was just so good and so dedicated (IMO more than Allen is too) that they won SB's even with the bad drafting BB did.
So overall wouldn't excite me bringing him in here.

I'm giving it a month or so to see if it's announced he had some off season surgery, then will decide how to explain.
Admittedly that article paints it as a trend, but don't recall seeing it as bad or as long in past years as this one.

This has been on my mind ever since Sunday night and I just have to get it out there.
The list of great QBs who never won a Super Bowl. I define “Great” as having consistent success, excelling at the position and not a player who had an up and down career.
Jim Kelly
Josh Allen
Joe Burrow
Philip Rivers
Tony Romo
Dan Marino
Donovan McNabb
Steve McNair
Frank Tarkenton
Randall Cunningham
Warren Moon
Great QBs who only won one superbowl (shows how hard it is)
Kurt Warner
Steve Young
Brett Favre
Aaron Rodgers
Drew BreesMatt Stafford
(Namath, Dawson, Unitas, Stabler, Simms, Doug Williams) - I never really watched film on these guys to see if they were good/great but I can only assume they were. Shows my age
QBs who won multiple Superbowls
Peyton Manning
Patrick Mahomes
Troy Aikman
Joe Montana
Eli Manning
Bart Starr
Bob Griese
Terry Bradshaw
Ben Roethlisberger
Tom Brady
Roger Staubach
Which category will Allen fall in? I’ve come to the realization that Allen will not win multiple Superbowls and it won’t be because of Josh Allen but because of the team he plays for. We will never be a dynasty. I say he wins one in 2-3 years from now and that’s it.
Always have had a hard time calling Kurt Warner a great QB. He had a 12 year career, out of them 6 good years, but of those 6, only 3 the team did well. Other years he barely played half the games, not sure if it was due to injury or benched?

Ryan O'Halloran: Free-agent, cap situation means Brandon Beane has to get defensive in draft
That doesn't seem to jibe with the general sentiment on this board. Please read the article first, then discuss.
Well the experts here certainly know better!

Scapegoat
Reading the media release it sounds more like he requested to leave as wanted to be closer to his family in Pa and Eagles are going to hire him. If that's even close to the entire story, was nice of Miami to do so. But also don't want a coach who doesn't want to be there either.

So if I'm Babich and were offered the job with Giants and offered the same promotion in Buffalo would have to decide which is better. In Buffalo will always be answering at some level to Mcd, kind of same issue Frasure had. With Giants could be a one year job and also have to wonder about all the negative stuff coming out about Daboll. So which is better option?

LaPorta probably deserved the TE spot, he posted mad numbers for a rookie TE. Not sure why they picked 2 RB's instead of 3 WR's or 2TE's. Passing league.
Agree assumed LaPorta would get it if only one. Wasn't sure if it may be one team per conference or if there's a 2nd team all rookie

Kincaid didn't?? Or is it only one TE league wide?? Is there a 2nd team?

I am pretty sure this was discussed quite a while ago, but I can’t find anything on it. With Hyde and possibly Poyer gone, what’s the possibility of transitioning Elam to Safety? I am in favor of it honestly.
Why not Allen. He's just sitting around on the bench when the defense is out there anyway. I'm sure he could hit good, likely much harder than Elam can. Knox would be another good choice, big hitter.
What evidence do you even remotely have to show that Elam would be be a good safety, or even just a decent one?

https://www.golongtd.com/p/the-buffalo-bills-have-a-decision
Tyler Dunne is spot on. Great article I don’t understand how at the very least we couldn’t have told Sean McDermott hey we’re going to explore other options at head coach in the next few weeks. We are not firing you unless we find someone we think will maximize Josh Allens talents and get us to a Super Bowl more than you can.
It’s an off-season that has Hall of Fame coaches just sitting there for the taking. Why not at least check it out. What’s the worst that happens if we do that? McD gets pissy and resigns. Well thank God for that.
If you don't understand, then why are you posting. Maybe would be better if you just read what people with a brain actually say.
So yes the Bills should do something that has never been done in the history of sports! And you don't understand that!

Well at least this is a topic to take your mind of the Bills specifically. Trial starts next month.

And neither should josh. Ita not designed for him. It's designed to get people open quick and get YAC. It's designed for tua or purdy. Not josh. It was modified to work with josh but it's a scheme that relies on athletes winning 1 on 1 all the time or you take check down.
See Tom brady. Early win or check it down. Daboll in college had one of the greatest teams ever so they often won early.
Ruggs
Smith
Ridley
Jeudy
Hurts
Tua
Jacobs
Harris
Robinson
***** me. I could have won natty with that team.
Dorsey tried to keep it and put twists on it. It didn't work. Brady focused on the simple stuff. Kind of worked.
We need brady to implement his own system that produced 2x 1k receivers. 1k rusher.
Dabolls system is actually *****. Relies on qb to run. Wrs to win quick. And rarely schemes people open. When we had bease brown and diggs it worked because someone always won quick. Now we have no one that wins quick so it's a check down offense.
Good riddons. I'm excited to see josh on a system...not see a system that puts josh in it.
9 hours ago, Niagara Dude said:This offence has been terrible since Dabol left
Think Dorsey used much of Daboll's but tried to appease McD with running more, but not Allen running and ended up with a complete ineffective mess.
Wouldn't shock me when Dorsey was fired and McD asked Brady to take over, he said yes, but only if you allow me to let Allen run again.
I don't like ex good college QB's as an NFL OC as think they may to easily become the mad scientist, rubbing his hands together thinking all the things I can now do with a QB as good as Allen is, all things I was never able to do myself and they try to live vicariously through the QB. Don't literally mean this, but you get the point.
Question is if Brady is given the job which good chance he will IMO, how much will he change the offense.

Everyone's assuming Hines is cut. And in a vacuum, it seems like a no brainer.
However, Beane has said he wants him next season and Hines has said he'll be here next season. The fact that there was no dispute over his lost money, the two came to an agreement on a number, and he wasn't outright released with a settlement says to me they struck a deal.
We saved a little cap last season. He didn't push the issue with the Union and he's back next year.
Overall agree with you, think he will be back. They did miss him too as a return man. Can't recall did he also return punts or was it just KO?
But do question the settlement part. Since it was a non-football injury, did or could the Bills even legally by league rules offer a settlement?
-
This whole thing sounds a little bizarre. So if you've been dead for like two weeks, can they still determine your BAC at time of death. If they can, I'm going to guess it will be very high as would have been the guy inside the house. They all passed out, unfortunately for three of them it was outside.

Taking my salary cap lumps at Safety
Henry takes less to play for us as a contender. If not, any big back will do.
I'd put Shorter ahead of Isabella in the pecking order at WR. Shorter is almost identical height and weight as Davis, maybe they've instructed him to concentrate on blocking skills to fill his role?? Thought he was also very fast too, or was I thinking of another guy?
Wouldn't be shocked to see Morse a cap hit or if they do keep him then could see Bates cut.
Personally I'd use #1 pick on WR, #2/3 on S and center.
Everyone is assuming White gets cut, article in BN over weekend said not likely as can't be cut until he can pass a physical which won't happen by March and after that you've taken the cap hit, so then may not make sense to cut him.

I'll tell you the other problem yesterday. Around 6:00pm as soon as the Lions won their game I got worried as historically most years one road team always wins in the divisional round. Once that game ended, home teams were 3-0

How do the Rams find guys like Nacua and Kupp?
I'll see your Nacua and raise you a Benford
Bills have done it too. That's the downside of the Elam situation. Posters blast him that was beat out by a 6th rounder. Reality is Benford is just one of these guys who fell through the small school crack. Doesn't make Elam bad, just makes Benford very very good! Granted if Elam again this coming year does nothing, then a different story. But right now was beat out by Benford as a rookie, just shows how good Benford was, year two he was either playing hurt or on IR most of season.

What your not grasping is that the offense couldn’t afford to get in a horse race given the Defense. This isn’t even a 3 pt game if we play JA hero ball. I guarantee we would have lost that game by double digits.
Yes they could have, first two times KC had ball they kicked a FG. Bills meanwhile had TD and FG. with two TD's they'd have been up by 4. After that Bills have 4 drives stopped 2 with punts, 1 turned over on downs, and missed FG. For KC excluding kneel downs had one punt and one fumble.
So 4 more times the Bills could have scored, but didn't as opposed to 2 for KC. They didn't need a horse race, they just needed to score slow and steady if that was their game plan. Given the defense, they needed to score more.
Their offense was OK, but to say there were no problems with it when had two 3 and outs and missed FG in 2nd half.
Seems what you don't seem to be grasping is the meaning of the word good!!

Correct, he was 9-9 on FGs, missed 2, then didn’t miss again for a few more games.
Something happened.
Think him and Diggs started smoking same stuff

He was 87% the last 2 seasons, re-signing Bass was a no brainer.
Exactly, everyone was more than happy with him this year, but the posters who think they are smarter than everyone else all coming out of woodwork now.
I do wonder what happened to him to go from so good to this season where he struggled. He started the year off think it was 10 for 10. Believe it was in game announcer stated Bass is 10 for 10, and sure enough missed the kick. From there went downhill. Kind of funny was around the same time Diggs went to hell too.

All I will say is if Bass had made that FG, I had zero confidence the D could have held them to zero points on their final drive. Hell, even our defensive coordinator (aka our head coach) said he decided on that Disney BS fake punt with Damar because he couldn’t trust the Defense. This one isn’t on Bass. Though I do think Bass needs to go just because he isn’t good at kicking a football through uprights; apparently a key to his position.
Well as fast as KC scored on other drives, they could have scored and still left us with a minute on clock LOL
Can't figure out how Bass could lose it so fast?? It's not like he's been around 12 years or so and his leg is shot??
-
I'd like to see him back as #4 WR on cheap deal mainly for blocking abilities. But likely some team will offer him big $$.
I'd be fine with Diggs, new #2 WR, Shakir in slot, Davis, and Shorter. Or maybe Shorter can take Davis role, not sure how he is in blocking?? Has very similar size to Davis. Think he was faster?? If he can fil lthat role, thenhave another spot open.
