looks like it

with no end in sight. i bet brady sees 2 more starting bills QBs before he declares his career over. Here's the existential question, how many years will Brady's record stand, or how long will it be before the Bills have a QB with that many TDs and wins in Buffalo over a given period? I'm not sure how long SDS is going to keep at it here, but i'll lay the marker at 20 years

I sure hope Brady doesnt know about this he'll drop 6 TDs on us just to make a permanently unassailable record, forcing the City of Buffalo to tear down the stadium, salt the ground, and put one of these things over it

did you see the koolaid comic

Agreed. The difference between the worst teams and this one is at least those teams made the appearance of trying, these overpaid losers were acting like it was a big nuisance to them. Can they apply to transfer to the CFL? I think they could be a .500 team in the CFL

this is great. I got 'reliance on turnovers' the wheel knows!

I love the optimism! On the other hand, The Buffalo Bills

maybe you should do us all a favor, and consider being less of a sexist ass?

yes, because women are all irrational harpies incapable of anything other than jealous sniping. Nice casual misogyny, bro

Societies change, and the acceptance of gays was well on it's way by the time the supreme court made it's ruling. In any case, it's interesting to observe, i have a few gay friends and they hate 'trannies', especially my lesbian friends. The delicate rainbow coalition cannot possibly hold because it's full of people working at cross purposes to eachother

you ask a professional psychologist, they'll tell you that the professional literature on the topic says that yes, it's a mental illness, and it affects about 1/10th of 1% of real actual humans. We have a lot of people play acting at being trans out there, attention seeking behavior.

So i've mentioned in a few other posts how ESPN mag had shifted over the last 5 or so years from a less informative Sports Illustrated into a full on Social Justice tryhard magazine. One of the hallmarks of this transition was the last page, which was once used for whimsey or statistical oddities, had become an increasingly strident grievance column, to the point where it was basically unreadable. Lo and behold, today's issue comes (I didn't cancel my subscription to insider this year, even though I meant to, so I'm still getting the mag) and the last page isn't another diatribe against the evils of American culture, but rather the end of the NBA preview. For the first time in a while, i paged through the magazine, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was largely about sports! I'm left wondering, is it possible that ESPN has belatedly realized that pissing off your core audience, and getting louder and more obnoxious about it, probably isn't a smart long term play? We shall see, but now rather than putting them strait into the recycle bin, I'll actually give it a shot again.

boom

Agreed, plus i'd hope that MD realizes that this is hurting his future market value. even if we find a sucker partner to take his contract on, he's not going to get another contract like this one

Im sure the Bills will do whatever makes the most cap sense - get rid of Dareus in whatever way minimizes the long term damage he's done, but as soon as possible within that constraint, because it's not worth the risk of his attitude becoming a contagion

and salary caps

I've been really happy with the evolution of the D this year. They're generating a lot of pressure with the front 4 against QBs who get the ball out pretty quick, and are still blanketing the receivers. I'm actually looking forward to Sunday - i think you might be right, this could be the coming out party

This is where I am. Nice to get my Sunday afternoons back so early in the season but this team isn't built to overcome adversity, or, you know, score points against NFL level competition. We'll still have a couple highpoints, maybe beat Miami or something, but i told myself a long time ago, if the product is boring Jauron like football, there is zero reason to watch. It's the season for fall colors, hiking, apple picking, seriously, why waste more time watching run run pass punt? Having said that, i'm not sure I have any faith that the new regime will spend their 379 draft picks wisely, but i guess tune in again this time next year to see!

I guess we know why he's such a smug jerk. Whaley gave him a contract that makes him essentially immune to discipline. What could possibly go wrong? I'm coming around to the idea of just cutting him and take the hit this year and next if need be. It's hard to imagine him having a miraculous turn around and becoming a productive positive player for the Bills.

Hmm, i did not know that. Do they have to have him practice with the team? does he have to practice with the starters? what flexibility does management have in this situation to mitigate the damage he continues to do? edit: this is probably dumb but what if they put him on the practice squad? what are the implications for the salary cap in that case if someone else claims him? Or is he not eligible for the PS any more? I'm glad my employees don't have a NFL contract!

So, if Dareus can't really be cut, and nobody in the NFL is stupid enough to trade for him and assume that moronic contract, why not just sit him? Don't dress him, tell him not to bother coming to the stadium on Sunday. I've been saying this for a year now, he doesn't really help the Bills. he sometimes turns in a good performance, but that doesn't make up for the distraction he causes, and he's going to be gone as soon as it's feasible to do so from a contract perspective. At this point it isn't even about teaching him a lesson, as he's shown that he's not capable or concerned enough to absorb it. I manage a team of technical professionals, and have had people like MD before. Sometimes, particularly if they are politically connected in the Firm, the best I can do is just avoid giving them any important work, and minimize their negative impact on the larger team. Gleason's column is directionally correct. The Bills aren't going anywhere this year, but they can start to instill the correct culture for long term success. There isn't really a scenario where MD fits the long term plans, he's not going to change, and he's only going to be a cancer. Sit MD, send him home. He can collect a check and sit home and get high to his heart's content, whatever he wants to do, just stay the hell away from the rest of the team. Then, the very second it makes sense to cut him, do so. In the meantime, if some team is dumb enough to trade for him, be willing to give him away for a box of drywall screws.

I know the narrative is that Ragland was a bad fit for the system, but I'm just not seeing that he showed anything to make us think that was the issue, rather than that he's just not a quality NFL LB. I'm a huge bama fan and was ready to buy a ragland jersey after the bills drafted him, but sometimes they just dont turn out like you want/expect. I'm glad they got a 4th in return, we're washing the stink of whaley and rex from this team for sure.

Jalen Hurts. Might come out this year but probably not.

Yeah i think most of his defenders here and otherwise are more impressed with Kaep's political stances than his ability to play QB in the NFL. Kaep thinks he's worth $6m a year, no team is going to pay him that. If he was a good QB, sure, but he isn't. That's why gabbert has a gig, he was willing to work for $1m a year

yeah, though he was somewhat worse about the captain obvious observations. "it's a bad time to throw and interception" versus the good time to throw and interception of course
