Low Positive

First of all, these things feel like course evaluations, which are an airing of greviences. Secondly, the Bills charter Delta commercial airliners, so, of course, players have to ride coach. The Fins charter a plane for the entire season that is configured better for the team with larger seats and a consistent crew (https://simpleflying.com/miami-dolphins-atlas-air-boeing-747/). That is the reason for the rating. The training staff complaints are probably why the head athletic trainer got the axe.

I’ll still take Barry.

OK State? Can we get Barry Sanders 2.0 instead?

Most of the time, the extension doesn't kick in until the previous contract expires. We just locked him in.

I know Andre Reed is the gold standard for WRs around here, but here is a comparison of their 3rd seasons. Just sayin'...

There is very little to dislike here. That's why this quickly became a proxy James Cook thread.

The cap is almost $100 million higher than it was in 2021.

Some team whose QB is too fragile to run it. So KC or Cincinnati, most likely.

Everybody forgets about that.

If they let us buy out-of-market games a la Carte, which is what people want. this is a good development.

It incentivizes kickers to aim for the "landing zone" instead of kicking it into the endzone. The rule change is all about the kicking team.

If a touchback was on the 15, every kickoff would be kicked into the first row.

They are trying to create a real incentive for teams to kick short of the goal line to increase the number of returns. They can't find the line between entertainment and player safety.

I used to get taken to a lot of games in the mid 80's because tickets were often free. Here's the ones I remember Kay Stevenson's last game as coach against the Vikings on 9/29/85. Fans had bags on their heads and serenaded for Kay's firing. They sang Goodbye Kay to the tune of some old vaudeville song. Jim Kelly's first game as a Bill against the Jets (9/7/86). Bills lost a close game, but I remember a play where Jim tripped at the snap, popped back up and threw a TD pass. Seemed like a new day. I was at every home game against the Fins between 1983 and 1987 because my stepfather bought those tickets. They finally won in 1987 but then tickets got more expensive and I stopped being taken to games. 1988 Divisional Game against the Oilers. Got free tickets when adults were too hungover to go because the game was on New Year's Day.

You people have really short memories. The 2021 team went 11-6 and was 7-6 after losing in Tampa. That was also the team that couldn't score a TD against Urban Meyer's Jags. They had to win out to win the AFCE and it took a fortunate taunting call against Matt Ryan to beat the Falcons at home.

Tyreek fell to the 5th because he was convicted of throwing his pregnant girlfriend around "like a rag doll" and punching her in her belly. That's why he was kicked off Oklahoma State and was drafted out of West Alabama. The issue was never in his game.

Running backs don't get paid anymore. Even the best ones can't break 10 million while average WRs make over 20 million. They are all working together to raise the pay of the position as a whole, especially for those who are exceptional talents. Cook's statements are just a part of that broader process.

All the additions the Bills made to the defensive coaching staff since the season ended indicate a move to man coverage.

Who cares? He’s only got five good years left.

The Giants were horrible in the 70's. The Saints were horrible in the 80's and early 90's. The Bucs were the worst franchise in the NFL from their founding until the year 2000 or so. The Packers were terrible from Super Bowl II until they got Brett Farve. People forget how bad that franchise was for decades. The Cowboys were really bad in the 80;s and then again in the early 2000's (Quincy Carter anyone?). The Bills, even when they were a non-playoff team, were never really horrible except in the mid 80's when they went 2-14 in back-to-back years.

Cooper: I have no idea Higgins: He'll be tagged and will cost picks. He's going to NE for a third. Godwin: He'll go back to Tampa. Nobody leaves there Adams: He'll end up where Rodgers goes Metcalf: Won't be traded The rest: Who cares? All bad moves.

A little Google Search would tell you that Einstein never said that. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” A favorite of politicians (and pretty much everybody else), this quote has been wrongly attributed to Benjamin Franklin as well as—but there’s no evidence either of them said it. “The Ultimate Quotable Einstein,” an authoritative complication of his most memorable utterances, identified the quote as a misattribution, and mentioned its use in the 1983 novel “Sudden Death” by Rita Mae Brown. On his website, Quote Investigator, O’Toole traced, the link between insanity and repetition back to at least the 19th century, but noted its use in a Narcotics Anonymous pamphlet as well as novels (including Brown’s), TV shows and various other sources. https://www.history.com/news/here-are-6-things-albert-einstein-never-said

Nope. Unless Mike Brown found about 100 million dollars in his couch cushions, Cincinnati will win nothing if they sign both Chase and Higgins. They already couldn't afford to pay DJ Reeder and Jessie Bates. They have absolutely nothing on defense outside of Trey Hendrickson and he'll only be there for one more year. They tried to buy an OL, but that has failed. Cody Ford got meaningful minutes this year. This is Joe Burrow being GM and wanting to keep the gang together because he's afraid of being exposed. He has never played on a team without two almost all-pro level WRs and he's not about to start now. He can't win without an all-pro team at the skill positions. Bengals went 1-4 without Higgins this year, and that win was against the Raiders. The best thing for actually winning football games would be to spread their limited finances around, but Burrow is demanding that they spend all their money on three guys (himself included) and then let the rest of the team get scraps. Remember, Russell Wilson threw for over 400 yards on then. My opinions might be colored by the fact that I live in Cincinnati and hate the Bengals more than any other team.

I thought they needed another left-handed bat and a middle reliever.

Did Jonathan Martin make Richie do this too? https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2777545-richie-incognito-reportedly-threw-dumbbell-at-man-in-gym-is-on-psychiatric-hold
