Fair enough, I would agree that it would be ridiculous to point to this as a reason the Bills lost. But I think it does make a joke of the NFL talking about player safety.

Who are you even arguing against? No one believes that this will result in a do-over.

I'm impressed by the Jags. I don't know what it is about the Chargers, for a team with so much talent on paper they come up small.

What could the penalty be if they violated it?

What's the under, 5?

Fields clearly showed he would throw it past the line of scrimmage.

Nice play by Levi Wallace pushing Chase out of bounds before he could get a TD.

If you played next to him maybe you would be!

Wow, you are new here.

Not sure if you mean this as a dunk on Polian, but 25 years without a team that could even come close to what he put together is practically forever in football terms.

I've been trying to wrap my head around this, and it seems like it means that NFL head coaches are women?

Fair point about Henry and Smith for sure. Thanks for the link to the TE salaries, they're kind of all over the place right now and I'm not even sure what will be considered the "going rate" as the cap goes up. I hope the Bills don't overpay to the extent that Cleveland did, but it would be nice if they can make it work.

Also, between this contract and what the Patriots handed out to two TEs last offseason, if you want a credible receiving threat you're going to have to pay a fair amount regardless. I don't think the Bills should go bargain hunting for a starting TE, so finding a way to keep Knox around will be important. Also it will help maintain good relations with Allen, not that that should be the overriding concern.

My hot take is OT should actually be eliminated for regular season games. Win in regulation or accept the tie. Then in the playoffs, OT is just an extra quarter, and you keep going if still tied. I think I'm on an island on this one though, nobody wants ties. I just think it could lead to some interesting decisions at the end of games - go for 2 and the win, or take a tie?

Getting rid of that fourth rounder already paying dividends, they could just focus on this one

Those are good picks, but then I think you also have to account for the fact that both the Chiefs and Packers had to fill holes they created by trading away #1 receivers. Both teams could be said to have better drafts but more ground to make up.

Trade up 20+ spots just to try to keep one particular player away from the Jets?

This really doesn't make sense from the Texans' perspective, for the reasons everyone already said. Anyone have any idea why they would make a trade like this right now (other than incompetence)?

That is a rough list. I'm not even sure I see 3, even if you think they've listed up to a first round slot production wise, how many of them ended up shipped up for low draft picks after being overpaid on a second contract? To me that's the deciding factor.

Also no harm in just leaving it at condolences. Really not seeing what we get out of people's fact-free speculation. And I'm also playing my part in hijacking the thread, so I'm going to bow out.

A thread with condolences would be nice, not sure why you think there is a mystery crying out for message board posters to solve.

I know the Browns don't like Baker but that seems pretty drastic.

Yeah, I don't think it was based on an assessment of which team would be better.

Discussed exploring acquiring? What, are they going to form a committee to research investigating possibly offering a trade?

This is complete BS. Of course everyone wants to see the Bills win a Super Bowl, but I'm not going to let that be a barrier keeping me from enjoying the ride.
