  1. A sprain is a form of partial tear. If it is Grade 1 apparently you can live with it, several players have. But in my opinion if there are any options he should miss the Browns and take the 2 weeks to heal. If it is Grade 2 it is supposed to be 4 weeks or so. The way he described it you'd think Grade 1 (let's hope). I don't have a link, just Google MCL sprain.

  2. Look for his next contract to be a 1 day signing so that he can retire a Buffalo Bill.

     

    I'm not sure. He only lost out just slightly to the younger guy, he had a lower average but good hang time. He could be at the top of lists for injury replacement.

  3. this. there is no mechanism to stop wilson from interfering unless he s no longer owner....and we all know, that's what we really wanted.

     

    In most matters, as long as people have the feeling they need to confirm with Russ and not with Ralph, it will make a big difference. Decisions will be made quicker. Presumably the head coach will not have to talk to RW "every week". And, there might be a lot of decisions that previously would have gone to RW, which RB will make and tell him later, after they are executed, rather than getting his opinion. Sure, in theory RW could fire RB. But in practice, that is only going to happen after several years and/or a big financial loss. And there might not be several years left for that to happen under Ralph. Furthermore - this is important for another reason. If RW does die in the next few years, there will be a period of time before new ownership is established. This structure gives Russ the true authority to run the franchise during that period which could substantially improve stability over the medium term.

  4. “The age-old thing – and they’ve done it around here for years – is to start over about every three years,” Nix said. “What that does is make damn sure you don’t make it. ... You change every three years and you never quite get there. That’s my take.”

     

    That doesn't sound like a man with a future in the organization.

     

    Wasn't this a midseason quote? I am not sure he can't just eat his words since the rest of the season went so poorly. We'll see.

  5. The best part is that Wanny will be gone. Chan was at least a stand up guy.

     

    Nix ... will he dodge a bullet? He went on record as saying that Chan stays. Hmmm.

     

    I actually think Buddy Nix is doing a much worse job than Chan did.

     

    I think it is safe to score his first draft was very poor. Spiller was drafted to replace Marshawn Lynch ---- Lynch is going to the Pro Bowl this year. None of his drafts have produced a pro bowl player as of yet although Spilller should be one. His signing of Fitz to big money was a bad move. His inability to draft a QB limited Chan to one option (Fitz).

     

    Nix should be accountable for going two straight years in a row with no viable backup QB and no QB pospect on the roster. Chan had no choice but to stay with Fitz.

     

    GMs (and owners) give their coaches a vote of confidence during the season every year, then fire them. If you express doubt at midseason, the season is doomed. As it played out, the season was tanked anyhow.

  6. According to the stats on NFL.com (not including the final DAL-WAS game), Powell had gross 44, Net 38.1 in his games with the Bills. Moorman had Gross 44.8, Net 39.5 in 11 games with Dallas. Yes, Moorman's season net average (including his games with the Bills) will be slightly lower, but from the point of the change onward, Moorman has out-punted Powell. Also, the NFL.com site says he is 36, not 38.

  7.  

     

    What are you talking about? When he started his Bills tenure by going 0-8? By finishing his first year at 4-12? By trading away first round picks for 4th rounders? You are as delusional as Chan Gailey. If Gailey returns I'll find another team to watch next year. I've had enough of these idiots.

     

    But they removed the TVs from the weight room!

     

    Side comment: The next staff will probably put them back in an effort to keep the players in there longer.

  8. Well, that was one of the worst 4th quarter efforts I've seen in a long time. With about 8-9 minutes remaining the Bills were down 2 scores and it looked like they flat out stopped trying to win. With 2 minutes left and down 14, we took 30 seconds to run a play. The team should not make it obvious that we are playing for draft picks. That was unwatchable (although I watched it) because the Bills stopped competing.

  9. This is a pretty good deal. The reality is that the Bills did not have any immediate relocation prospects... we benefitted again from Ralph hanging on. However I do not think the terms are particularly favorable to one side over the other. The question of whether a new stadium will be built must be dealt with in year 4-5. Otherwise, the Bills will be free to look at other cities and break the lease in year 7. Also if a new owner takes over withon 2 years, he may appreciate a period of stability before tackling the stadium issue. For the area, $95 million is less than expected and the Bills will stay at least 7 years. All in all a very fair deal.
