As for travel, it’d be cool if the Bills incorporated something like players of the game (those who get game balls) get to sit in first class on the way back and on the way to the next game, even if it bumps multiple coaches to coach. 

A billionaire owner and he doesn't pay for his players to travel first class. Saving money for a third jet? And a coaching staff that treats themselves right while the grunts sit in coach. How do they think the players will react? Who do they think they are, royalty? 

 

I didn't respect McDermott as a coach much before, now I respect him even less now. No true leader is going to pull that crap.

Coaches tend to game plan on the flights home, so i get first class seating.  That said, with the money they have, there is no reason for the players to not be seating in seats that are just as comforting as first class.  Just like the Patriots we should our own plane

the Dolphins’ grades are hilarious.  And I agree, they shouldn’t change a thing!

A lot of this has to do with ownership. Which I find both concerning and frustrating given the state of affairs just down route 5.

I’m 6’1” and flew home in coach yesterday. My knees were directly up against the seat in front of me. I don’t know how these giants can even squeeze into a coach seat. That’s just not right.

Not just squeeze in comfortably. They’re multimillion dollar finely tuned machines expected to perform at the highest level.

 

Saying NFL players complaining about travel is crazy is like putting 87 octane in your Ferrari and then telling the driver “do you know how many people drive a used Prius and/or rely on public transit”.

Do they have planes built like that available for charter?

 

While NFL teams may make a ton of money its still much harder to justify buying or paying to have a plane setup for this for a total of maybe a dozen trips a year

 

In the end as rich as the NFL is the teams only can charter what is available to charter.

The Commanders making such a big jump is clearly because of winning, not because they changed so many things for the players 😆

Well, the question is whether they get one-on-one attention from training staff, which 75% of players said they did for the Bills. I think the conclusion is a little different from the question they asked. There might be players who felt their recovery went just fine even if they didn't have one-on-one attention all the time.

I'm sure having new ownership taking over for Snyder has nothing to do with it.
