Albany,n.y.

I've wasted too much time already. Thanks for stopping a debate where there is no right answer. There are 2 types of fans : visual & stat fans. Since both sides view the game from a totally different perspective, there can never be much of an agreement. Sometimes one side is right & sometimes the other side is right.

I wasn't analyzing football stats, clown.

I spent a career analyzing data and numbers. Did you? I understand how unreliable football statistics are without proper context. Next time you want to post something as juvenile as the post above, just look in the mirror & slap yourself 3 times.

Tell me, why do the pros spend hours looking at film? It reflects poorly on YOU that you don't understand what the professionals do. Stats are for losers, LOSER.

Don't, stat boy. Go and watch some NFL games, stop looking at stats & then you might actually get a clue. If you do that it will take a lot longer than Tuesday for you to understand NFL football. Get back to us in a few months after you've been educated.

Stats are for losers, especially QB stats. Always have been, always will. That's why teams spend hours looking at film rather than a few minutes looking at stats. I'll repeat: Stats are for losers, especially QB stats. Always have been, always will. That's why teams spend hours looking at film rather than a few minutes looking at stats. Get your head out of stats & watch some video of games!

What Debbie Downer stuff? When the Bills were at Wembley they weren't very good & the place was still packed. That's my point: The NFL is not taking one of the top 5 games of the season & shipping it to Europe when the TV audience will be one of the top rated games of the season. Does it? The logistics of putting a team in Europe are difficult at best. So what's their goal other than to get more fans interested & sell some merchandise? They don't need to send one of the top games of the year over there & they won't. Bills at Chiefs will either be Sunday night or Thanksgiving night.

Considering the game is almost certainly going to be a Sunday night game, I can't see the NFL choosing to ship one of the biggest TV drawing games to Europe. If the Chiefs are playing in Germany and losing a home game, it's likely either vs Jacksonville or Seattle (especially if Wilson is traded away) Not when they can get away sending a scrub team to Europe.

I seriously doubt that KC or NE is going to ship one of the top games on their schedule to Germany. KC fans would go nuts if they took the Bills/Chiefs rematch out of KC.

Yeah, that's really going to happen with a minor league that isn't even playing in the cities that the team names say they are from.

Because they were the ones who were thinking about hiring a white guy who has never coached in the NFL at any level & would have made a mockery of a coach search if they had hired McCown. The heat was on them after it leaked that the two leading candidates were Flores & McCown and they really didn't want to hire Flores after he filed the lawsuit. So they had to find another candidate, preferably a black man. New Orleans eventually hired a white coach with previous head coaching experience whose defense figured out how to stop Tom Brady & Aaron Rodgers this past season, which was pretty good on his resume His promotion was much more palatable than if Houston had hired McCown.

As long as NO has the patience to keep Dennis Allen beyond a season or 2, maybe this works out. If they are bad this year & can get the right QB in the 2023 draft, they can have a Bengals like turnaround by 2024. A franchise QB solves a lot of problems for any head coach.

Here's how I responded to this story on Facebook, keeping it simple for the non-football crowd: Brian Flores & his lawyers are a bunch of idiots-they deserve each other! Flores is a great coach , in his own mind, but on the sidelines he's not very good. I've seen his teams quit on him numerous times (see what happens whenever they played the Buffalo Bills). Here's what the interview process was like. Houston: Brian, how did you lose the 2020 seaaon finale 56-26 to a bunch of 2nd & 3rd stringers? It looks like your team ran for the bus & you were the driver. Flores: Humina, Humina, Humina. Brian, you never made the playoffs. Flores Humina, Humina, Humina. Lovie Smith: I'll start this interview with this: I got the Chicago Bears into the Super Bowl. Mike drop, Lovie hired. Actually Flores did have a hand in Lovie getting the job: If Flores didn't put pressure on Houston & the NFL, the Texans would have hired the guy they really wanted to be their coach-Josh McCown, a recently retired QB with no pro or college coaching experience. After Flores lawsuit, the Texans couldn't get away with that & instead decided to promote their DC who has a long resume, including that Super Bowl appearance, and nobody except Flores and his lawyers can question Lovie Smith's qualifications.

This may not be the case, but it's not impossible: Murray has made enough money to be financially secure for life already. Say he's just not into football, the hits, injury potential etc, but loves playing baseball. So, now that he's set himself up for the rest of his life, he wants to pursue his real dream-MLB. Even if he fails he doesn't care because he's already pocketed millions of dollars doing something he doesn't really like. Not everyone looks at the financial advantages when they choose to switch jobs. How much money is enough? If he can make a few more million playing baseball maybe he doesn't care about leaving mega millions on the NFL field while attaining happiness on a baseball field. It's not like he'd be going from the NFL to a minimum wage job.

Not only did Davis jump from our practice squad to the Giants, but Daboll also took the Scottish Hammer Jamie Gillan as well. So much for the Hammer being competition for Haack.

If Davis Webb wasn't a coach in waiting, he'd already be flipping burgers.

Let the rumors start that he's going back to baseball. https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/nfl/cardinals/2022/02/07/kyler-murray-unfollows-cardinals-social-media-scrubs-photos/6689468001/

They've regretted cutting him & now see the error of their ways. Plus, he's an upgrade from Glennon, Fromm & Lewerke.

When are we going to have another one?

The guy I picked, Shea Tierney already went to the Giants after my prediction. What do I win? I bet the game outright instead of squares. Rams -3.5 and a free bet that I chose the Rams to win the Super Bowl (no points)for +210 before the championship games. When I went to the 4 Bills Super Bowls and they were selling squares in the lobby at work I used to tell them "Be there or be square-I'm going to be there so I don't need a square."

Considering his age, if you're going to build a house somewhere, chances are you plan on living there post career. I guess his dream is to become a country singer.

Cousineau left Canada after the 1981 season, wanting to play in the NFL in 1982. He signed an offer sheet with Houston, but the Bills matched, since they maintained his rights because he had signed with another football league (unlike Bo Jackson a few years later who signed a baseball contract & went back into the draft the next year). They then traded Cousineau for multiple picks including the 14th pick in the 1st round of the 1983 draft used to select Jim Kelly.

We lost Cousineau in 1979, before Knox's 2nd year as Bills head coach. Knox was really POd about that and even though he coached the Bills 4 more seasons, it was the beginning of the end of Knox's losing patience with Ralph.

Amazingly (probably due to Ralph's unwillingness to pay top dollar to an unproven head coach, which basically excluded the most coveted assistant coaches) McDermott is the 1st coach hired by the Bills for his 1st pro coaching job that succeeded. All the rest failed. The only truly successful Bills coaches were all retreads who had previously coached in the AFL or NFL. Saban had coached the Boston Patriots, Knox the L.A. Rams, Levy the K.C. Chiefs & Phillips the Denver Broncos. No other coach beyond McDermott & these 4 ever finished above 500 as a Bills head coach. Now the Bills have also failed with retreads, again due to Ralph's low salary structure. The only time Ralph ever paid top dollar to bring in a head coach was when Chuck Knox came over from the Rams & by the end Ralph had alienated Knox with his cheapness including being the only NFL team in league history to lose the number 1 overall pick of the NFL draft to the CFL. When we older fans say Ralph was cheap, it's not just a funny phrase. We endured many seasons as league laughingstocks due to Ralph's unwillingness to spend unless he was backed into a corner with around 20-30,000 fans in the stands.
