  1. It just occurred to me that the Bills haven't lost $4M on the opt-out clause, they saved $4M.

     

    Everything coming out now, PLUS the decline in offense and the OC and QB situations, say Marrone shouldn't be a head coach. If the Pegulas had fired him (a BIGGG if) they'd owe him the last 2 years on his contract (= 2015 $4M + 2016 $4M). Since he opted out they only owe him one. And best of all he's not the coach.

     

    Meanwhile I keep praying the Jets hire him asap.

  2. OK, I'm going to try this again.

     

    I started a topic asking if anyone's heard of plans to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the '64 AFL Championship. The mods merged it with this similar chain because God knows we never see similar topics on TBD. Heaven help the extra electrons to be slaughtered if such a thing happened.

     

    Meanwhile this evolved into a Lou Saban history lesson with some side remarks about Lil' Donte.

     

    For the record, I loved Saban and Cookie back in the day. But I still haven't heard an answer to my original question: are there any plans?

     

    I guess the answers I got mean "no, there aren't"?

  3. I know a serious reply is really out of place here, but anyway:

     

    You're overlooking another design to the offense: we're collecting OL behemoths and extra RB's because we plan to run the ball, chew up clock, and keep the D off the field. You think we drafted those guys (and no TE) to pass block this year?

  4. “That’s one of the good things about being here in Buffalo. The weather was so bad, we had plenty of time as coaches to stay together. When that snow was rolling and it was 5 degrees outside, we were holed up in the room, watching all their stuff from last year.”

     

     

    Yeah, that's what I want to hear. Make sure this gets out to every potential free agent, too,

  5. I'm wondering how many people on this board remember the political fights from ~45 years ago over the location of the Ralph, before it was Rich Stadium. The politicians divided predictably (Dems for the city, Reps for the 'Burbs). The then-Buffalo Evening News pushed hard for as far away from downtown as possible so Mrs. Butler's trucks wouldn't get caught in traffic jams after games. 'Course, there was a lot of talk then about a multi-purpose stadium that a baseball team could play in. Nobody does that anymore -- I think Oakland has the only shared FB/BB stadium left.

     

    We learned the first time around that a stadium on a remote island away from any other commercial development, like the one in Orchard Park, has as little secondary positive impact as you can get. So do the politicians and business people get it or, assuming there's the money to build anything, did they learn too?
