Do I look fat in white?

Can see him as a coach in the future.

So, did we sign him?

I don’t think it was nerves. It’s just that she has more important things to do than sit around rehearsing old football quotes. I don’t even think she’s as big as a fan as she claims to be, but does understand the meaning of the Bills to WNY. She showed up for the FaceTime (groundbreaking is just a performance) like she’s scheduled to do, then probably went on to deal with more important things.

I don’t think it’s the compensation that held this trade up. It’s his contract. It’s just not tradable. He needs to be released so a reasonable contract can be negotiated.

Have no clue who this guy is either, but well acquainted with @muffclam.

I’m not going to play the “he should’ve drafted xxxx instead of yyyy”. Those are all hindsight’s 20/20 arguments and can be applied to any other GM, including the one who could’ve picked the guy a round earlier. Pivoting away from this “argument”, I would say him trading Wyatt Teller. We sure could’ve used him last year.

This is just an all-around horrible situation. He should countersue his accuser for lost wages, but I doubt this girl has enough. Funny (not) how her lawyer has immunity in all this. I don’t know anything about law though.

Isn’t he under contract with the Bills for another year? Sitting out for a year shouldn’t burn this. Over the next year, I don’t think he could sign anywhere without the Bills getting some form of compensation from the other team. As far as we know, he hasn’t retired. That said, I do agree. He may benefit from this NFL program, but sitting on his couch over the next year isn’t going to be rewarded with a promotion. The best thing for him would be for the Bills to negotiate his exit.

The only question I have here is: do we get the minority coach comp pick if he is hired elsewhere?

Let’s not forget…

All the data he presented was based on small sample sizes. For example, there being 1 team facing 5 opponents coming off a bye week. Sounds pretty anecdotal to me. All the other data was similarly on a very limit set of data. Pool this data over at least 3 years and it may show something meaning. If the teams have this data (and I agree, they probably do), we can’t assume to know what this data is. Even if it appears obvious to an observer. I would think if they did have this data, I would also assume they are sharing this with the league. The league has a Competition Committee and a Health & Safety Committee, not to mention an NFLPA keeping a close eye on them. If this data was showing something meaningful, I would think (an assumption) something would be done about it.

Lots of data about rest, but minimal/no data on its effect. This could have been easily researched. For example, does less rest days equate to losses? Does less rest lead to more injuries. A lot of the inequity has to do with prime time games. Great teams play more prime time games. As we know, these games lead to less rest between games. Prime time games undoubtedly take a toll, but they are mostly affecting great teams - the ones people want to see play.

No. But I have a sisters uncles fathers granddaughters roommate who said he put his house up for sale.

He’s disgruntled. I expect him to stop following the Bills on Instagram next.

This is good news, because his GMing sucks.

Correct. It’s really unclear how picking up a 5th year contract is a sign of successful drafting. It very well could be a sign of not being able to cut your loses or a poor use of available salary cap. Sometimes it’s cheaper to sign these players for less than the going rate of the 5th year option.

Pretty sure I remember Rex telling us we won the off-season back in 2016. So, I’m gonna have to side with Rex on this one.

Funny how this works out. Beane said the same thing about Elam last year. It just so happens that the Bills are lucky enough to pick the last 1st rounder they have on their board. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/04/29/brandon-beane-kaiir-elam-was-last-first-round-grade-on-our-board/

No, you’re right. I use a dolorimeter on my fibromyalgia patients or checking for enthesitis. I just never viewed it as a pain tolerance test, but rather a test of pain amplification. I guess I had an image in my head of them improperly manipulating an ankle until it swelled.

Cam Lewis should’ve been shoved off the roster since the Minnesota game.

As a physician, I have no idea what a pain tolerance test is.
