  1. I'm sure they look at it...they are on the cutting edge of sports science in terms of making sure players get rest, treatments, etc... Issue is with a lot of their injuries they aren't the type of you can prevent. Broken legs, Achilles tears, a player rolling into the legs of a player, etc... It's not like they had constant soft tissue injuries like hamstring pulls, etc.
  2. Too bad he plays more like Judge Judy.
  3. It's not even close. They were good players for us, but those were 3 HOF players, the all-time sack leader and likely greatest Bill to ever play(Josh may take that eventually). How is that even a comparison?
  4. Once Allen's restructure is completed the Bills will have $20-22 million to spend in FA and for the draft pool. Not huge amounts but they can sign a number of budget FAs with that money. They don't have until June 1st, they have to be cap compliant by next week or the week after I believe.
  5. Wow...Denver is going full rebuild mode it looks like
  6. Likely a low deal...I think Pit still owes him guaranteed money don't they? Bills probably offsetting some of that.
  7. Are they allowed to release a player that is still injured? I thought you had to do an injury settlement.
  8. Good...even more important after Bates was traded.
  9. No. He is clearly heading downward...no need to add aging expensive players who are over the hill but who still think they are worth big money.
  10. Why? The Patriots have 101 million in cap space, they would match whatever the Bills did. The Bills don't even have enough cap space to do it to begin with now and his starting point is $14 million a year. That's never happening for a safety where the Bills likely feel they can bring in guys in the 5th and 6th rounds. Where do people come up with these nonsense ideas without even knowing how much it would cost and the team cap space?
  11. He had his best season last year. I'm not in the business of trading quality LTs in their prime to create another hole on the OLine after we just got it set up nicely last year finally.
  12. Beane loading up on draft capital to move around as needed.
  13. It helps when they had people doing their homework for them and taking their tests for them, which was likely far more prevalent back then than it is now since everyone is watching these days. Or simply taking the easiest classes they could enroll for.
  14. I don't care about speed, I care about him getting it right to the greatest degree possible. As all-time great college basketball coach John Wooden who won multiple National Championships used to say "Be quick, but don't hurry."
  15. Yes, the easiest time before teams get a bead on your gameplans and DC's are playing catchup. But he didn't look so great against the Bills during that time.
  16. Lamar just plays his worst when the stakes are the highest, he has the talent to play great, but he just doesn't. Tua simply can't.
  17. Incredibly bad decision. If I was Pittman, the starting point for any negotiations for a long terms deal are now $22 million a year minus a small amount for security. I don't see where he would have gotten that contract in UFA. He is a good receiver, but nowhere near a top 5 one
  18. Good enough to lose to good teams that don't go for misdirection constantly and play undisciplined on defense. Their entire offensive success is predicated on smoke and mirrors. When that stops working against good defenses, what happens? Their offense comes to a near standstill. They have no answers because Tua is limited in what he can do...and once you force him to play to his limitations instead of his strengths, he crumbles. That isn't a winning formula, especially when you are going to have to pay your QB more than double on the cap what he is making now and by extension, eliminate a lot of the money you have for keeping talent around him. If he isn't good enough to be a difference maker when he has loaded skill positions around him, how the hell do you expect him to do it with lesser talent? He has to make up the difference. He can't! He is the one holding them back more than anything at this point...once he starts making $50 million a year they are likely capped at 9 wins every year. I mean could you imagine Allen or Mahomes with those skill positions? They would almost never lose a game, probably would be 14-3 or 15-2 every year. IMO, the Dolphins will never win the division with a healthy Josh Allen if they pay him that money. They are done with. They are basically committing AFC East division suicide for the next 5-6 years or however long it will take for them to get out of that contract.
  19. That is a lot of brisket, red beans and rice and cornbread...just for fun, I went and calculated his maintenance calories for him to maintain that weight and he needs to consume 5500 calories a day. That's craziness. Now I see why those NFL lineman lose so much weight when they retire...literally all you have to do is eat like a normal person and you can lose 60 lbs like nothing.
  20. He definitely did the Bills no favors in their 2nd Super Bowl in his pre-game interviews by calling out the Hogs, making pig sounds and saying they should be wearing ballerina outfits.
  21. That doesn't make money...people who aren't invested have to want to watch it regularly and in large numbers and pay a lot to do it.
