Von Miller needs 1 sack for $1.5 million

[Charles Romes]

Something tells me Kraft will mandate the tank at halftime if it’s looking like the Pats can win and two second half garbage sacks will come Von’s way.

Yeah, this signing thew out the self righteous “character counts” phoniness that no team really adheres to.

 

Lee Harvey Miller?

remember when Mrs. Pegula was described here as the  social conscience of the front office?  No one had a problem with a guy who had previously beat his kids mother (no charges filed) and had serially failed/cheated the drug screening mechanism.

I wouldn't agree that there was no one, particularly after the latest repeat. Some in here have no problem with worse.

i don't really have a problem either.  it's a game, bring in any winners--- that's why they ignored his personal baggage and signed him to that contract.

 

he's a POS as a man, let's just accept that--and that there is no real "Pegula/Bills Process"---and hope this signing finally pays off this off season.  The infallibility of the FO shouldn't be something anyone wants to promote---because it's unnecessary to believe they are any different.  They are just doing business in the NFL.

Suggesting that the Process only allows for infallibility is a straw........ suggestion.

I would wager teh Bills have one of the cleaner locker rooms in the league and that is likely by design.

I ague it doesn't matter.  That tehre is no "process".

 

It's a business. Some owners are more naked in their roster intentions.  They don't pretend there are some cultural entrance requirements or behavioral exclusion criteria (they sniffed hard on AB, recall--as they should have) to being offered a contract.

 

 

Infallibility?  lol--there's a spectrum of human behavior that may in theory have that at one end, straw man!  But you can't make it seem like you are a certain type of "culture"...and back up the truck for a guy like this.  It's hardly a call for "infallibility or nothing!", just the elimination of sanctimony.

If Von makes a handful of outcome affecting plays in the postseason and the Bills win the Super Bowl, how will you feel about the acquisition?

 

At his point, it wouldn't change that he has seriously underperformed for the money he was given. Injuries and poor character (beating up his woman, etc) may have contributed, but 120M for a part time player even if he hadn't been hurt or decided to beat a woman? The dominating Von Miller has been gone even before he came to Big.  His production alone screams this.

Von was really really good before the injury. The pass rush was great his first year here and it fell off a cliff when he got injured.  It felt like a huge loss that everyone was worried about when he went down because of how well he was playing.  He also played a sizable chunk of snaps that first year, I don’t think he ever missed more than half of the snaps in a game and frequently was on the field 70-75% percent of the snaps 

 

he’s been pretty solid this year too im

interested to see if the snap count throughout the year was a bit of load management.

I think he should sit. Heal up and rest up. 
 

We are paying him for Super Bowls not to further line his own pockets

On the replay it didn’t like it should go to Von, but good for him.  Now he can sit.

I thought it was more like .5. I wonder if it could change... especially after the game. Yikes

Pegula should give his word that Von will get $1.5 in cash tax free per sack in the playoffs

 

Von with 6 sacks in the WildCard

That’s what I thought, a half sack at best.

The team will likely pay it out if something like that happens. Well-run teams usually do.

It's a good policy for ownership to buy goodwill in the locker room.

The NFL won't change a sack ruling on their own. A player can challenge the ruling if they think they should get credit, but no teammate will do that to Von.
