The chart is instructive, but I think it only tells a small part of the story. I'd much rather be LAC, but I’d also like to know who's under contract, who might leave, etc. Some teams with cap problems could have room to maneuver by releasing bad players, while those in potentially good cap situations may have a lot of holes to fill and a roster full of good players looking for large paydays. For example, the Bills don't have much cap space, but if you didn't know which players were under contract, you might think they have significant potential problems.

Rolling Stones to retire “Brown Sugar” due to racist lyrics
Max Fischer replied to Brennan Huff's topic in Off the Wall
I think the best thing thing is to listen to people like your daughter and then determine if something should or could be done. Discussion of Shakespeare's "the Merchant of Venice" has really heated up over the past 25 years. It's a fantastic play but also has some very troubling messaging. Lately, most productions have not tried to hide the concerning undertones and instead, highlight the problems in a productive way. It's very difficult to do. Interesting to see what, if anything, Spielberg does in his upcoming movie. Conversely, IMO, the worst thing to do is ignore the issue. Art is meant to invoke feelings and in the case of "Brown Sugar," it's a great song but if the writers believe they made a mistake in it's meaning and/or lyrics, who are we to say they're wrong? -
As with most things, healthy communication is the key. Most bosses lack self-awareness and need a productive reminder of how things work best. Express your concern that under the current process the project will not get done on time or on budget. You are happy to hear their feedback but you need a bit more of a freehand to get things done efficiently. If it doesn't get better, then you know there's a problem that might not get fixed.

Notable Nexflix / Amazon / Premium Channel Series & Movies
Max Fischer replied to Heitz's topic in Off the Wall
I highly recommend "Stranger," a Korean mystery on Netflix. It's very complex with 16 one hour episodes. However, it's very involving and every episode is good. It's about a district attorney who lost his sense of empathy and a detective who doesn't get respect from her peers. Very well done, great characters and plot. Unfortunately, I could not get into the second season. -
I think of it this way, how do the Bills draft next year? Is (fairly) expensive first round CB a better investment than low dollar Levi? Second round? I would say G or C are more valuable late first and/or second. Most likely any FA CB2 would be expensive. I think it would make sense to extend Levi.

At the very least, it ties a record that can’t be broken.

I don’t understand how Frazier isn’t a head coach. -

No need to apologize for questioning his play, just for losing patience too soon. -

Bills/Texans All-22 Review - The Athletic
Max Fischer replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
For me, the difference is Buscaglia has earned my trust over the years. I don't always agree with him, but he's demonstrated in his reporting, analysis and podcasts to be a very level-headed, well-reasoned observer of the Bills. Unlike PFF and other outlets, I don't know the analysts, their backgrounds, how closely they follow a team, their analytical criteria, etc. On the other hand, Buscaglia (and, IMO, most of the Bills beat reporters - and quite a few "amateur" writers/commentators/podcasters), follows the team nearly every single day of the year and over time, I've learned to trust his judgement. Moreover, I like that he methodically explains his reasoning. Again, I don't always agree, but I appreciate the thought process. Others I like: - Joe Marino. - Matt Parrino & Ryan Talbot - Bruce Nolan (though his schtick often gets really thick) - Gregg Tompsett (very good on capology) - Sal Cappaccio (I don't follow him as much but has some good nuggets) Getting to know: - Matt Bove - John Fina. I like his analysis but the show's production is a bit of a mess. Last, I want The Athletic and other outlets to survive because I don't want to rely solely on national reporters checking-in on the Bills every once in a while. -

If you give an opponent a heart attack, that should count for something. -
Tremaine Edmunds named AFC Defensive Player of the Week
Max Fischer replied to nato7412's topic in The Stadium Wall
To me, Edmunds doesn't need awards and "splash" plays to prove he's an extremely important cog in the Bills defense, but it sure is deserved. -

Superb Josh Allen analysis by J. T. O'Sullivan

You may not know, but unicorn means different. And yes, Frazier and McDermott ask TE to play MLB a much different style than fans are used to seeing. The game has changed and the Bills could be ahead of the curve defending a pass-heavy league. It's what you and other TE haters can't seemed to comprehend. That’s just one reason your comparison of TE to Tyrod Taylor is absurd. Carry on with your crusade.
